Chapter 62: Disappearance
e Dark Demon Clan takes control of the Ancient Continent, then the countless years of effort by the Gods will no longer be perfect.”This is an opportunity for both the Dark Demon Clan and my Ancient A...The year was 383 BC during the Qin Dynasty, on the 29th day of the tenth month.
The city of Luyang suddenly appeared in a thick fog. The magistrate of Luyang City realized something was amiss and reported the matter to the Demon Suppression Division of Poshan City.
To be continued.
The Demon Suppression Division dispatched five Xuan-rank demon hunters to investigate the situation.
After several days of searching, there was still no reply.
The Aftertown Demon Suppression Office sensed something amiss and sent people to investigate Luoyang City. In the end, it was discovered that Luoyang City was shrouded in a thick fog, impenetrable to the naked eye.
To avoid unnecessary danger, the demon slayer who went to Luoyang City returned to the Demon Suppression Division and reported the matter again.
The third day of the eleventh lunar month.
The Demon Suppression Division dispatched two earth-rank demon hunters to Luoyang City.
Two days later.
The commander of the Demon Suppression Department, Xun Qu, personally went to Luoyang City and his whereabouts are unknown to this day.
Looking at the contents of the file, Shen Changqing's face was grave.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
It is evident.
The problem with the city of Luoyang was exactly as troublesome as he had anticipated.
What kind of demons could possibly cover an entire city with a thick fog
Moreover, Luoyang City was home to 200,000 residents and a stationed garrison. Even if demons truly attacked, it would be impossible for every single civilian to escape.
As a matter of fact.
Since the thick fog descended, no one has left Luoyang City.
Conversely.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Demon Suppression Bureau dispatched several people to Luoyang City, but they all went there and never came back, like throwing meat buns at dogs.
We have reached the end.
Even the garrison commander is caught up in it.
After being imbued with demonic power, a Guardian could leave behind a soul lamp within the Demon Suppression Division. Through this soul lamp, it could be determined whether a Guardian was alive or had fallen. However, demon exorcists did not have the privilege of leaving behind a soul lamp.
The situation within Luoyang City is unclear now. Just because Xun Que is alive doesn't mean all the demon slayers are still alive.
As for the people of Luoyang City—

Chen Changqing's heart sank slightly.
From October 29th, Luoyang City began to experience problems, and by the beginning of November, the garrison commander Xun Qu was trapped within it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
It is the ninth day of the first lunar month now.
It's exactly ten days.
And Xun Qu was trapped within Luoyang City for about four days.
The soul lamp is still burning.
Although the demons and monsters in Luoyang City are powerful, they haven't reached the point of being able to kill the garrison commander. However, their ability to besiege Xun Qu demonstrates that their strength is extraordinary.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Of course.
It's also possible that Xun Qu naturally has some means of protection, which is why he's been able to survive until now.
Here is the translation:

The garrison commander of Posheng City was not numerous, and at the moment only Ji Tianlu was in charge of guarding Posheng City. The other garrison commanders were all suppressing demons and monsters in various places. Compared to the chaos in the capital before, the chaos in Nanyou Mansion was even greater.
If Xun had been defeated at Luoyang, let alone the breaking of Mount Sha, his strength would have suffered a serious blow.
Similarly, if the demons in Luoyang City devour a guardian general, their strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.
Things have come to this.
Shen Changqing felt that when he made a move, it was definitely necessary.
It's not for anything else.
It's not just about preventing that demon from growing stronger; we also need to take action.
If things really can't be done, then think of other ways.
No matter what is said.
After entering the Wugongge, all the resources he received, strictly speaking, ultimately originated from the common people at the bottom.
He took this money.
Then you have to do what's within your power.
Then.
Shen Changqing once again seriously looked at the file.
Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can help with that!
Through the above account, he suspected that the demon was possibly the second type of demon.
That is to say, demons and monsters are born from the natural world.
After all.
>
According to the documents, Luyang City had never been troubled by demons before. The appearance of these demons seemed sudden and out of place.
>
However.
It is also possible that.
That was a powerful being secretly dispatched by the demonic clan.
>
For a long time.
Shen Changqing put away the file and went to meet Ji Tianlu again.
"General Ji, "
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Elder Shen has arrived."
A sickly smile appeared on Ji Tianlu's pale face.
In his view.
At this point, the other party had arrived, having clearly made a decision.
>
As expected.
Shen Changqing's next words settled the garrison commander's heart.
"I have carefully reviewed the case files. The demonic entity in Luoyang City is very likely a type born from the convergence of Heaven and Earth's energy. If Xun Qu, stationed there, had died at the hands of this demon, it would undoubtedly bolster its power, leading to further casualties in Nanyu Prefecture."
As a member of the Demon Suppression Division, Shen certainly wouldn't just sit idly by and watch everything unfold.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"I will leave the matter of this trip to Luoyang City to Shen to handle!"
First, he spoke with great righteousness.
Then.
But Ji Zhen also knows that the monsters in Luoyang City are extraordinary, even someone as powerful as a garrison commander could be caught in their clutches.
>
Although Shen claimed to be very skilled, he didn't have complete confidence.
> Besides, this time my trip to Nanyou Mansion was rather hasty and I didn't have much time to prepare.
If possible, I hope Ji Zhen will provide some support!
Support.
>
To put it simply, it's all about the benefits.
Ji Tianlu's expression was as usual: "Elder Shen dared to risk his life for the people of Nanyou Mansion, so naturally the Demon Suppression Division wouldn't remain indifferent. Elder Shen, if you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask."
Even though the Demon Division in Poshanshan Town is small, it would satisfy Elder Shen's requests even if it emptied its entire treasury.
Implied meaning.
The Demon Suppression Division in Pushan Town has no wealth. You can handle it yourself.
>That's it.
Shen Changqing remained unfazed, faintly smiling as he said, "I don't have too many needs. I just want to bring some pills for emergencies, whether it's the upcoming battles or when I meet Xun Qu tending to his wounds."
"I think there's quite a bit of use to it."
"This is my token, Elder Shen can take it to the Demon Slayer Hall to exchange."
Ji Tianlu took out an identity token from his waist and flung it into the air.
The token burst forth.
Shen Changqing reached out and steadily caught the token.
> The token is on top.
It read the name "Ji Tianlu".
Thank you!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He put away his token, bowed politely, and then left the hall and went to the Demon-Slaying Hall.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Each town demon-suppressing division's layout is actually based on the layout of the national capital.
The Demon Slayer Hall.
It's not much different from the Demon Slayer Hall of the Imperial City.
Just like it is divided into the four Heavenly, Earthly, Xuan and Huang missions halls.
Then there is the exchange of merit points, as well as the Treasure Hall where you can exchange items.
Inside the treasure hall.
When Shen Changqing truly entered this place, he discovered that the treasure hall of the Broken Mountain Town's Demon Suppression Division was about half the size of the treasure hall of the National Capital's Demon Suppression Division.
The person behind the counter was also an old man.
Up to now.
Shen Changqing also understood how the people from Zhanyao Hall came to be.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Those who can enter the Zhanyao Hall to do some odd jobs are basically those who have served in the Zhenmo Si for many years and finally retired at places like the Zhanyao Hall, contributing their last bit of strength to the Zhenmo Si.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
The Demon Suppression Division wouldn't mistreat these people.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Every year, there's a collection of accolades and achievements without even needing to go out on missions.
To be honest.
The Demon Suppression Division has many people who die at the hands of demons and monsters each year. There aren't many who can truly live for decades in the Demon Suppression Division.
As for these people.
It's normal for the Demon Suppression Department to give some benefits.
Of course.
Except for those aged warriors.
Apart from the Demon Slayer Hall, there are other martial artists in these places.
For example.
Because of certain reasons, those who have suffered severe internal injuries and are unable to continue working will be arranged here.
In short.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppression Office and do some odd jobs are no longer able to fight demons.
Coming to the counter.
Shen Changqing took out the identity token that Ji Tianlu had given him.
“I’m here to exchange some things. Could you please show me a list of everything that can be exchanged at the Zhanyao Hall currently”
The elderly man who was originally dozing off.
After hearing the sound, he woke up directly.
>
He first glanced at Shen Changqing, and when he saw the stranger's face, there was a hint of confusion on his face, then he lowered his head to look at the token in front of him.
That one glance.
His face changed drastically.
"Guardian Token!"
After picking up the token and examining it carefully several times, ensuring there were no issues, the old man looked at Shen Changqing again.
"I have yet to learn your name."
"Shen Changqing."
"Well, even though you have a guardian token, you still need to pay contribution points to exchange things." The old man spoke as he looked back through his memories, discovering that he had never heard the name Shen Changqing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But it's okay if you haven't heard of it.
If the other party can provide Ji Tianlu's identity token, it would explain a lot.
But to prevent the other party from thinking that they could take things from the Zhanyaotang for free just because they had a guard badge, he still had to remind them.
>
Shen Changqing said: "You can ask General Ji for the contributions you have spent. Shen is just here to get something, and other matters have nothing to do with me."
The Demon Suppression Division has its own rules.
Please note: I only translated the text within the > tags. I left the HTML tags as they were.
The Commander-in-Chief has no right to arbitrarily use the resources of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
But.
What does this have to do with him
Just let the person in charge of this come and pick it up.
If one still needs to make contributions, what use is this token given by Ji Tianlu
Upon hearing this, the old man's face hesitated for a moment.
But looking at the guard token in front of him, and Shen Changqing's calm demeanor in the face of danger.
This is a placeholder tag for a paragraph break.
Last.
He still nodded.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Since General Ji could give you an identification token, I assume this is his intention. This is a list of everything currently available for exchange in the Demon Suppression Division. Please take a look."
The old man took out a fairly thick notebook.
He took the notebook.
Shen Changqing opened it to take a look.
The list before him contained fewer things than he had seen during his time in the capital, but what it offered could be exchanged for items of a much higher quality.
It is obvious.
Here, these items are not eligible for exchange by Demonic Exorcisers of the lower ranks.
...but it belongs exclusively to the commander.
Speaking of which.
Since becoming a Heavenly Rank Demon Slayer, Shen Changqing had never gone to the Zan Yao Hall to exchange things.
After all, he had only joined the Wugé for a short time. As a member of the Wugé, he hadn't finished using up all the resources allocated to him, so there was no need to rush into exchanging things.
The atmosphere in the main hall fell silent.
He turned the pages one by one, searching for what he wanted to redeem.
This time I went to Luoyang City.
What you need to prepare is either a pill that can enhance your strength or one that can save your life.
The rest.
It doesn't have much effect. difficulty, uttered a single word."Get out!"He had spoken.Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!The Saint Emperor tore through the void and left first.Upon hearing this, the other div...
