One person stepped in from outside and appeared in everyone's line of sight."Zhong Shan Chou!"Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!“He actually came at this time!”Seeing Shen Chang...The inner hall.

The lamps flickered.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

“Sacrificing a few villages is not a problem, but this way, the matter will get out of hand. The Demon Suppression Office might even send over a Xuan-rank demon hunter.”

If one were to truly encounter a formidable Xuanjie exorcist, even if Xue Hun ascended to the rank of resentment, it would still be very difficult to deal with.

And if it truly came to that, I, the magistrate of Lin'an City, would have reached the pinnacle.

Zhaofang sighed, a little unwilling.

When Zhuang Mingyuan heard this, he did not take it to heart.

"Do you think that by not offering a sacrifice, the Demon Suppression Agency wouldn't notice anything amiss just because one apprentice demon slayer died"

"This—"

“In fact, since the death of that apprentice demon slayer, your Lin'an County magistrate’s position is as good as over. But it's fine, a small county magistrate's position, exchanged for the promotion of a vengeful ghost, not a loss at all.”

You've also accumulated quite a lot of wealth over these years, enough for you and your family to safely retreat.

Though you aren't the magistrate of Lin'an City, your role within the alliance would be slightly less prominent. However, the Eternal Alliance has always treated its heroes fairly.

Zhuang Mingyuan comforted him with a few words.

Then.

He shifted his tone, a knowing smile once again playing on his lips.

Furthermore, you don't have to worry about powerful practitioners being sent by the Demon Suppression Division. I wasn't sure before, but now it seems that the Demon Suppression Division is truly unable to spare anyone.

Zhuang Ming stood up from his position and paced to the doorway of the inner hall, gazing at the moonless night sky.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Some time ago, the demon faction dispatched many powerful beings to attack various places in Great Qin and launched a full-scale war against the Demon Suppression Office. In that battle, the demon faction suffered heavy losses, but the Demon Suppression Office also suffered significant casualties.”

In the past, when dealing with ghosts and demons, apprentice exorcists would usually have several companions.

Now there's only one person here, it's obvious that the Demon Suppression Division doesn't have many usable people left.

"Adding in the previous battle, neither side had conclusively defeated the other. Demonic creatures continued to plague many powerful figures of the Demon Suppression Division. In a small city like Lin'an, the Demon Suppression Division wouldn't necessarily invest too much strength."

After all, there are simply too many places that are more important than Lin'an City.

Now we just wait for Zhang Long to come back and report, let's see if Xuehun has been promoted.

Last.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhuang Mingyuan turned around and looked at Zhao Fang. His expression suddenly became strange.

Or, Lord Zhao could do something drastic, sacrificing all the people of Lin'an City. With a hundred thousand souls from Lin'an City as a blood sacrifice, perhaps the Blood Soul could be promoted to the Rank of Fiend.

You've been in the Everlasting Alliance for many years, but you haven't made any significant contributions.

If you can contribute a terrifyingly powerful monster, it would definitely startle those higher-ups. At that time, anything you want will be within your grasp.

>

Even I can benefit a lot from this!

Zhao Fang was startled by Zhuang Mingyuan's words.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Sacrifice Lin'an City!

He never even dared to think about this, and it had never crossed his mind.

To say that sacrificing the ancient village of Gu Yue would be acceptable.

Then, I shall sacrifice the entire city of Lin'an.

It has far exceeded Zhao Fang's expectations.

You need to know.

Although Lin'an City was just a small border town of the Qin Dynasty, it had 100,000 inhabitants. As someone who had served in office for many years, it was impossible to say that I had no feelings for Lin'an City.

If you were to directly sacrifice Lin'an City, and disregard the lives of one hundred thousand people.

Zhao Fang asked himself.

He couldn't accept it very well.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

“Lord Zhao, take some time to consider this carefully. Of course, if you’re willing to sacrifice the entire city of Lin'an, then you’d better hurry up. After all, news of sacrificing just a few villages will surely reach the Demon Suppression Division.”

Wherever powerful demons appear, the Demon Suppression Office will not stand idly by.

Even if the Demon Suppression Division was plagued by demons from all over for a short period, it would eventually have the chance to free itself.

After all, letting a powerful demon grow unchecked would pose a huge threat to the Demon Suppression Division. The question is only when to make a move, as this threat cannot be ignored once it reaches a certain level of danger.

“As for that, I'm not sure either.”

“Since Zhao has already made preparations to retreat, why not create greater merit for the alliance I believe that even if you never make any further contributions in the future, a powerful and formidable monster like this will be a testament to your abilities.”

This one achievement alone is enough to protect your family line for generations to come.”

Zhuang Mingyuan continued to bewitch.

Even if a truly formidable demon were to appear, the lion's share of the credit would still go to Zhao Fang.

But as Zhao Fang's partner, I can also benefit quite a bit from this.

So.

He particularly hoped that Zhao Fang could offer up the entire city of Lin'an.

>

As someone who had long since pledged allegiance to demons, Zhuang Mingyuan had already set himself apart from ordinary people. To him, the lives of commoners were no different from ants.

Zhao Fang lowered his head in deep thought, his expression changing constantly, as he struggled internally.

>

He was considering Zhuang Mingyuan's words.

Despite being human and the magistrate of Lin'an City, a shred of conscience remained in Zhao Fang, telling him he couldn't sacrifice Lin'an City.

But.

Having sacrificed Gu Yue Village, and several other villages, then sacrificing the entire Lin'an City wouldn't seem out of the question either.

Just saying.

There are too many dead people. I find it hard to accept inside my heart.

However—

Zhao Fang understood very well that if he cultivated a formidable monster, the benefits he would receive from the Eternal Alliance would be enormous.

Very soon.

His struggling, changing face finally settled into calmness.

Look up.

Zhao Fang's face, which once radiated peace and serenity, was now devoid of any warmth. All that remained was a chilling coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.

"What Zhuang Ge said is right. Since I have joined the Everlasting Alliance, I should contribute to it. It is an honor for people in Lin'an City that a Level 1 Demonic Beast was born there."

"Haha—"

Seeing that Zhao Fang had understood, Zhuang Mingyuan burst into laughter.

Just then—

The gate of the yamen was struck by a powerful force and shattered into countless pieces.

The commotion awoke the attention of the other officials in the yamen.

Also, Zhao Fang and Zhuang Mingyuan in the inner hall instinctively changed their expressions.

"Who dares to cause trouble in the yamen!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Quickly, quickly go and inform the lord!"

"You—you are Lord Shen!"

The sudden turn of events left the few yamen guards in a state of shock. Some immediately rushed to report to Zhao Fang, while others, after regaining their composure, instantly recognized who had broken into the yamen.

When the yamen servants recognized Shen Changqing.

Shen Changqing also recognized those people. They were the yamen officers who had been guarding outside Gu Yue Village during the day.

Here is the translation of your provided text:>

Seeing several people draw their weapons, he looked at them warily.

Shen Changqing threw what he was holding forward. The object rolled around on the ground for a few times before landing at the foot of a yamen servant.

“Zhang—Zhang, the head catcher!”
