Chapter 108: Comrades.

Edited by: Mochiusagi 

The two people were seated on the left and right respectively.

Nie Xu shook his head: “It's not a big deal. It's just that many people in Jin City heard some strange screams last night, which were suspected to come from the monsters.” 

He said, as he looked at Shen Changqing solemnly.

“Does Lord Shen know about this?”

“Why does Lord Nie ask that?”

Shen Changqing picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip and put it back down, with a faint smile on his face.

Nie Xu replied: “There are rumors among the people, that the screams from last night were not caused not just by the monsters, but rather the Black Tiger Army killing the monsters.”

“After all, people would have died if it was caused by monster attacks.”

“Since no one has died, and the screams are indeed related to the monsters, it means that someone personally took action to get rid of them.”

“However, when I asked Wen Ce about this, the Black Tiger Army apparently didn't do anything.”

""

“As I thought about it, other than the Black Tiger Army, the only one who could kill the monsters is Lord Shen!” 

Nie Xu's eyes were always on Shen Changqing throughout his speech.

He really wanted to find out who was the one who had acted last night.

If it wasn't Shen Changqing, it could only mean that there was another unknown powerhouse in Jin City, and he must find a way to get in touch with them.

Shen Changqing smiled: “Yesterday I went with Liu Zoutou to look at the places where the incidents occurred. I found that there are monsters left in those places, but they are hidden at that time and it is inconvenient to just attack.” 

“Hence, I waited until the evening, when the monsters showed themselves before killing them.”

“After all, as someone from the Demon Suppression Division, it's our duty to kill monsters. Master Nie doesn't need to worry.”

Nie Xu took a deep breath, stood up and then saluted Shen Changqing.

“Lord Shen, killing the monsters has significantly reduced the burden of Jin City. This Official will thank you on the behalf of the whole city, Master Shen!”

“Governor Nie is too polite.” 

After giving his appreciation, Nie Xu straightened up and sat back down again.

“So, there should be no more monsters in Jin City, right?”

He then asked what he was most concerned about.

Shen Changqing shook his head and did not give a definite answer.    

“I can't be 100% sure, as some monsters are good at concealment and their Evil Aura won't leak out. However, I have basically killed all of the monsters I had discovered.”

Nie Xu nodded. He had a general idea of the situation.

“Is Lord Shen going back to the Demon Suppression Division now?”

“I have accomplished my mission and the monsters in Jin City have been eliminated. There is no longer a need for me to stay here.”

Shen Changqing frankly said.

Going back to the Demon Suppression Division this time, he was definitely going to be promoted to Red Black Rank.

By that time, he would be able to contact higher-ranked Slayers, and can ask questions about Cultivation.

Even if he couldn't ask for advice, he would now be able to access the 3rd floor of the Library.

“It's a pity that Lord Shen is not from Jin City. Otherwise, if Lord Shen stays here, how can monsters dare commit crimes in Jin City in the future!”

Nie Xu's Express was one of regret.

Although the Black Tiger Army was stationed in Jin City, there were not many experts in the Black Tiger Army. Although with their numbers and formations, the power they could exert was much stronger than that of a single Qi Circulation Realm. Most of the time, high-end combat power of each individual would play a greater role.

However, Nie Xu also understood that it was inevitable for Shen Changqing to return to the Demon Suppression Division. 

“If there is a chance in the future, I hope Lord Shen can come and visit Jin City.”

“Governor Nie jests. If I come to Jin City in the future, it will not be a good sign.”

Shen Changqing laughed.

Nie Xu was stunned for a moment. Then he quickly reacted, and couldn't help, but smile.

“Of course, this Official hopes that Lord Shen would come as a friend at that time and not as a Slayer sent to deal with threats.”

“Okay, if there is a chance in the future, this Shen Changqing will definitely come to Jin City.”

Shen Changqing smiled and said solemnly.

Leaving the Government Office, Shen Changqing strolled around the city first. It was only until the evening, did he go back to Tianyi Lou.

After having a meal on the second floor, he went back to his room to rest.

It was not very convenient to travel at night, so Shen Changqing decided to stay an extra night. He will just wait until tomorrow morning before returning to the Demon Suppression Division.

Compared with his last mission, the mission this time was undoubtedly completed very quickly.

He only stayed for four or five days in Jin City altogether.

Meanwhile, Shen Changqing stayed for almost a month or two in Lin'an City. The two were completely incomparable.

Late at night, Shen Changqing was sitting cross-legged on the bed. His eyes closed and was resting.

Only the sound of the ticking watch showed the passage of time.

It seemed that all of the monsters in Jin City had really been killed, as the city regained its former tranquility.

Meanwhile, in a mansion somewhere.

Two men, one being older than the other, and one woman were sitting in a brightly lit hall.

Under the reflection of the lights, the faces of these people seemed a little strange.

The man spoke in a hoarse and harsh voice: “The monsters have all been killed. Those who are capable of doing this are either people from the Demon Suppression Division or the Black Tiger Army.”

“It can't be the Black Tiger Army.” 

The woman shook her head. She had a fierce look on her coquettish face.

If Shen Changqing was here, he would have discovered that the woman was none other than Hongyi, whom he had fought before.

The current Hongyi no longer had a broken arm. A brand new arm was attached to her body.

Stroking her shoulders, Hongyi seemed to feel the pain when her arm was cut off. A cold look flashed in her beautiful eyes.

“The formations are not small and such a movement would be noticable. Further, I felt a familiar remnant of Qi in those places. If I guessed correctly, the person who did it is undoubtedly the Slayer from the Demon Suppression Division.”

“Master, do you mean that the person who killed those monsters was the same Shen Changqing who injured you back then?” 

The old man frowned.

He had never had any intersection with Shen Changqing.

But Hongyi was the strongest one among all of the people present.

That day, when Hongyi returned from a severe injury, it really shocked them all. They almost thought that an expert from the Demon Suppression Division was coming to kill them.

This made the old man fearful of Shen Changqing.

“Yes!”

Hongyi gritted her teeth.

“At the moment, he is the only person in Jin City who is from the Demon Suppression Division. With his strength, it is not a problem to kill those monsters.”

“This person is a big problem for the Eternal Life Alliance. I have tried to win him over, but I failed in the end.”

“Since we can't become allies, we can only destroy him. Otherwise, we will have a lot of trouble waiting if we let him grow in the future.”

Thinking of Shen Changqing's potential, the depths of Hongyi's eyes flashed with fear.

Although the other party was not a Grandmaster, that kind of strength was not much different.

The only difference was that he hadn't comprehended True Intent.

The man's voice said in a cold tone: “What should we do now? With the people from the Demon Suppression Division, we can't do anything else. We can't put Jin City into chaos.”

“Why does it matter to us if Jin City is in chaos or not?”

Hongyi coldly looked at the man. At that moment, the other party's heart tightened.

She withdrew her gaze, but her face was still cold.

“My Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion has always been well hidden. If it wasn't for the destruction of the Zhou Family, how could it be exposed so quickly? Although 'they' are not enemies of the Eternal Life Alliance on the surface, their actions behind the scenes undoubtedly pushed the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion to the spotlight.”

“Since that's the case, we'll leave them for the time being.”

“Leave them?” 

The old man asked in a deep voice.

Hongyi nodded her head.

“It doesn't matter, as long as we lie dormant for a few days. We'll wait for the people from the Demon Suppression Division to leave, and then set up other strongholds. It's better to leave it for two days for now.” 

A strong wind blew outside the mansion, rustling the leaves.

“Who!?”

Hongyi immediately stood up.

The man and the old man also stood up in unison, and looked out of the lobby with a grim expression.

They saw a middle-aged man in black robes walking slowly from the outside.

“You don't have to be nervous around your comrades.” 

The man in black robes chuckled. When his eyes passed over the man and the old man, he was obviously disdainful. It was only when his eyes fell on Hongyi, that the disdain in his eyes subsided. He then clasped their fists and greeted them.

“Greetings, Hall Master Hong!”

He didn't dare to be too presumptuous towards a Hall Master of the Eternal Life Alliance.

After all, anyone who could become a Hall Master was a rare expert. 

Even if they were not at the Grandmaster level, they were also qualified to be called the strongest below the Grandmaster level.

“It's you!” Hongyi's eyes fell on the black-robed man. A gloomy look flashed through her eyes for a moment: “You dare to threaten my Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion, despite the Eternal Life Alliance behind it?”

The black-robed man's expression changed slightly, but he lowered his head and replied, “Hall Master Hong has misunderstood. I have never dared to attack the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion, let alone disrespect the Eternal Life Alliance.” 

“Just when the Eternal Life Alliance had set its foundation in Jin City, you made a big ruckus! You really should pay for your blunder.”

“Hall Master Hong, please calm down. The people of the Demon Suppression Division killed the treasure in my hands, so I will naturally have to respond.” 

The black-robed man straightened his back and did not flinch facing Hongyi.

“Otherwise, people would look down on the Barbarians!”
