Then, the voice of the groom arose, followed by the sound of a wooden clapper.
After nightfall, the capital city had grown much quieter.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The capital city already had curfew regulations in place. Coupled with the recent rampant activities of demons and spirits, no one dared to venture out at night.
Of course.
The curfew is only enforced in the outer city.
In the inner city, it is still very lively.
On the city wall, Shen Changqing in the attire of the Demon Suppression Division silently watched everything below.
The bustle of the inner city.
The tranquility of the outer city.
A simple wall, yet it seemed to separate two worlds entirely.
That's all.
He didn't pay much attention to it.
Whether it's the inner city or the outer city, it has nothing to do with me.

Now, I'm simply here following the orders of the Demon Suppression Agency to garrison the inner city and prevent any demons from causing havoc.
Three shifts a week.
Every three days, he would visit his post once. Shen Changqing felt that it wasn't too strenuous.
Standing on the city wall.
Looking down from above, one can take in many of the sights within the inner city.
Within sight.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Teams of people patrol the streets back and forth, keeping a watchful eye out for any unusual occurrences to prevent demons from causing trouble.
In response to the imperial court's request, the people dispatched by the Demon Suppression Division were not just Shen Changqing.
Every squad of soldiers has a powerful member from the Demon Suppressing Division accompanying them. However, masters like Shen Changqing don't need to follow and patrol back and forth. They only need to stay put in one area. Wherever there is a presence of evil, they will go there.
"I'm kind of like a fire department, you know Where I'm needed, that's where I go!"
Shen Changqing shook his head and smiled.

Standing on the city wall, looking down at the scene below, what came to mind was what I had seen in the Demon Sealing Tower during the day.
Inside the Sealing Tower, the numerous demons sealed away, as well as everything Dongfang Zhao had said, echoed in my mind.
That is precisely why.
Let Shen Changqing understand thoroughly that the path of garrison commander he had chosen was completely unworkable.
“If I break through to the pinnacle of the Grandmaster level, I can perfectly integrate the power of demons. In that case, my strength will skyrocket in a short period of time. Unfortunately, the issue of lifespan is a big problem.”
To shorten one's own lifespan for the sake of power is clearly not a worthwhile trade-off.
>
Unless it truly comes to a point of no return, becoming the guardian is not advisable!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However.
Although he didn't want to become a Guardian, he also sincerely admired those who dared to.
The Garrison Commander possessed great power, but it was gained at the cost of much.
And the purpose of the other party becoming the garrison commander is self-evident.
Perhaps.
Not every Commandant's purpose is for the sake of the Qin people.
But.
Shen Changqing believed that the vast majority of the Guardians' purpose was this, otherwise those people would not choose to become Guardians.
From Dongfang Zhao's words, he knew that the Demon Suppression Division would not force a Grandmaster to become a Garrison Commander.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Whether to become a garrison commander is entirely voluntary.
"The pinnacle of a master, to me, is no difficulty. As long as the Great Sun Golden Body breaks through to a complete realm, I can naturally enter the stage of the Great Sun Furnace. Whether it's the spiritual system reaching its peak, or the physical system reaching its peak, both can perfectly merge with the power of demons."
Shen Changqing was very clear that he possessed a panel, and if he couldn't become the town guard commander, then he wouldn't.
If one day.
If I truly become a guardian spirit, it must mean I've reached the end of my path.
"Lord Lu, you said that now in the inner city, are there still demons hiding"
A patrolling soldier, the leader of the group, looked at his companions and asked with a smile.
>
On hearing this.
Lu first remained noncommittal and replied, "Whether or not there are demons lurking, no one can be certain. The duty of the Demon Suppression Bureau is only to ensure that when demons appear, they will be killed at the first opportunity, and nothing more."
The others in the team looked at Lu Xian with a hint of awe in their eyes.
There's nothing else.
This is a line of text.
The Demon Suppression Division's demon hunters hold a considerable status, both within the court and in the martial world.
Especially someone like Lu Xian, a Xuanjie exorcist, this is even more so.
Able to enter the Xuan realm.
They are all nearly at the innate realm.
Immediately, the team was quiet again. Everyone patrolled the streets silently, paying attention to any sudden developments.
When passing by the mansion, the din within had little to do with them.
This is the time.
In a mansion, there was a graceful woman dancing and singing. Many young masters were drinking and having fun there, watching the dancing woman in the middle of the room with meaningful smiles on their faces.
"Come, have a drink!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"I raise my glass to you, Master Chen!"
"Master Shen, come, have a drink—"
Some young men rose to toast each other, and acquaintances chatted amongst themselves, each holding a woman in their arms. It was a lively scene.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Let's all eat and drink well, we won't return home until we're drunk tonight!"
Chen Hong had a smile on his face, and in his arms was a young woman. His palm moved restlessly back and forth.
After taking a sip of wine, he lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, and suddenly felt a surge of impulse.
"Ah!"
With a soft cry, the woman lightly bit her teeth, preventing the other party's next move.
"Mister Chen, this place isn't very suitable. How about we go somewhere else"
Okay, okay, let's go somewhere else.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
Chen Hong laughed heartily and readily agreed.
Then he stood up, embraced the woman, and walked toward the inner room.
See here.
There was a look of ambiguity on everyone else's faces.
"Word on the street is that the reigning courtesan at Yichun Building has always been a woman of virtue, refusing to trade intimacy for coin. But apparently, she's agreed to be here this time. What a stroke of luck for you, Master Chen!"
“To say it belongs to Chen Gongzi’s fortune is simply nonsense. As the son of a high-ranking official, to be admired by the beautiful peony is an honor for her, how could it possibly be his good fortune”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's her honor indeed."
While they were talking, they kept clinking glasses and drinking.
>
As she listened to the words around her, Chen Hong's smile grew wider and wider.
Not long after.
>
Then the two returned to the room.
"My lady, I'm here!"
Chen Hong eagerly embraced the peony and walked toward the bed.
As he was about to lie down on the bed, a pair of jade hands stopped him.
"Mr. Chen, why the rush"
"Could it be that the young lady still wants to play something" Chen Hong's face contorted into a lascivious smile, no longer resembling the cultured and refined gentleman he had been before.
In the reflection of candlelight.
The beautiful woman's blushing face in front of me gives off an alluring feeling.
Suddenly.
A surge of excitement welled up in his heart again.
“Master Chen, I heard that there are demons and ghosts plaguing the capital. Aren't you afraid that I might be a demon in disguise” Mu Dan smiled playfully with captivating beauty.
On hearing this.
Chen Hong smiled and said, "There's a saying that goes, 'Even if you die under the peony flowers, you'll be a glamorous ghost.' If Miss Peony is truly a demon, then I'm willing to die with her."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Ugh—"
Mǔdān feigned indignation and scolded, the jade hand she had just used to slap was grasped by a large hand, and then Chén Hóng buried his whole head down.
But what he didn't discover was.
Originally, the peony's face was a brilliant crimson. But at some point, it had turned a sickly pale, and its smile became stiff and unnatural.
"There is evil energy here!"
Shen Changqing, who was stationed on the city wall, suddenly turned his head in one direction, his eyes turning cold.
Just now, he sensed the presence of sinister energy.
Since cultivating the Great Sun Scripture and merging with the Great Sun Golden Body, Shen Changqing had become even more sensitive to sinister and evil qi.
Her toes lightly tapped.
>
He, like a large bird in the night, flew towards the direction where the sinister aura came from.
>
Inside the mansion, people were still reveling and enjoying themselves.
Boom—
A deafening roar echoed through the air, silencing everyone instantly. They all turned their heads toward the source of the sound and saw a person standing there, with a small pit at their feet.
A sword was strapped across his waist.
Dressed in a black and white long shirt, with peculiar patterns that stood out.
"Town, Demon Suppression Division!"
Someone screamed.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the scene descended into chaos.
Demon Suppression Division!
How could the people from the Demon Suppression Division suddenly show up
>
Many people suddenly thought of something, their expressions changed drastically. When they looked around at the others, their eyes were filled with caution.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
People from the Demon Suppression Office wouldn't just come here casually.
The only reason the Demon Suppression Division came here, time and again, was because there were demons hiding in this place.
Then, thinking of the recent disturbances caused by demons and fiends within the capital city, those people trembled with fear.
>
The Demonic Suppression Division is handling matters, everyone stay put and don't move. My sword, however, has no eyes!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Shen Changqing's eyes were cold, and at a glance, many people felt a chill run down their spines.
When he comes.
That sinister aura suddenly vanished.
But.
Chen Changqing could be absolutely certain that the demon had definitely not left this place. It must either be hiding on someone, or somewhere else, but it was impossible for it to have left this mansion.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Someone trembled slightly and spoke, "I dare to ask, I dare to ask this noble sir, is there a demon or evil spirit in your manor"
"Very well, this official senses a presence of sinister energy here. It seems the demons haven't left yet. You all must remain still and there will be no problem. But if you move about carelessly, then things could become quite complicated."
Shen Changqing's face was expressionless.
Upon hearing this, the man immediately closed his mouth.
Got the answer.
>
> Others shuddered again.
>
Shen Changqing ignored so much, just walked slowly towards one of them, then reached out and patted the other person on the shoulder, a faint solar energy poured into his body, but it quickly retreated.
The person being photographed only felt a surge of heat in their body, coming on quickly and fading away just as fast.
Then.
He then changed to another person and repeated the same trick.
Now the aura of demons and fiends is cleverly hidden, and Shen Changqing can't accurately capture where they exist. He can only use the true energy of the Great Sun to probe one by one in order to find clues.
It didn't last very long.
Everyone present was thoroughly searched.
