Ji Qu remained seated there for a long time, lost in thought.
It's ruined!
>
The Black Flag has really been destroyed!
He watched as Shen Changqing destroyed the black banner, then punched to death two demons comparable to the innate realm.
The power of a great sun, made this elder of the Demon Suppression Office tremble with fear.

However.
What was truly shocking wasn't Shen Changqing's strength.
As a master from the later stages, it's not strange for him to kill someone at the Innate stage with a single punch.
What truly shocked him was that Shen Changqing auctioned off the black banner simply to exterminate the demons within it.
Ji Qu had always thought.
The fact that the other party acquired the black banner suggests they possess some underhanded methods to control demons.
Result——
Come to
He was deeply moved by the music.
“Lord Shen spent seventy million taels of silver, and it was truly just to exterminate demons! This old man did not expect this, perhaps only Lord Shen is the kind of person who can shoulder the burden of the Demon Suppression Division!”
Put yourself in their shoes.
If it were him, he definitely wouldn't spend seven hundred thousand taels just to kill two monsters.
After all, slaying two demonic creatures doesn't bring much benefit.
At most.
It's just using a Qingling jade pendant in exchange for some merits.
The problem is.
The sinister aura emanating from these two monstrous fiends, how much merit could it possibly yield Even ten points might be pushing it.
Ten o'clock achievement.
> To put it outside, it's just a few thousand taels.
To exchange seventy thousand taels for a few thousand, that's really insane.
When Shen Changqing heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face.
>
"Wealth is an external possession, and it can be used to purchase the lives of demons. Such a transaction is always profitable when you consider it, and if a demon falls into the hands of others, at best, it could bring well-being to the people."
>But if you think about it from the dark side, it might lead to the death of many people.
Since that's the case, it might be better to nip this in the bud from the start.
Upon hearing this, Ji Qu once again felt a profound sense of respect.
He discovered.
It feels like I'm truly understanding Shen Changqing for the first time.

During my many years in the Demon Suppression Division, I've seen some who cared for the people, but to see someone go this far...it's truly unprecedented.

“The people of Qin Dynasty are truly fortunate to have Lord Shen!”
"Brother, you are being too serious."
>
Shen Changqing waved his hand.
Then, riding the wave of momentum, he asked the question that had been on his mind.
“I would like to ask, Brother Ji, if Shen wanted to purchase more demons, are there any special channels Or, could they be bought directly at the Yuan Yang Auction”

Auctioning off a black banner.
After gaining a wave of kill points, it thoroughly opened a new door to a new world for Shen Changqing.
>That's right!
If demons could be bought, why would one go around the world hunting them
As long as there is enough silver, even sitting idle at the Demon Suppression Office, one can continuously reap killing points.
With the kill value, you can increase the fusion of martial arts.
At that time, raise and fuse the martial arts together, then sell them. Immediately use the silver earned to buy demons.
Thus, it is.
Buying and selling can achieve a balance, and your own strength can also improve rapidly.
In the past.
Shen Changqing absolutely did not expect this.
Please note that I have kept the HTML tags as they were. If you want me to translate anything else, please provide the text!
He didn't know, it turned out that demons could actually be bought and sold.
Only now, participating in auctions, do I feel like I've opened the door to a new world.
"Trading in demons, one can have a steady stream of killing points flowing into their account. Selling martial arts techniques also eliminates the worry of lacking silver to support oneself. The remaining problems boil down to just two."
"First, is there really that many demons in the martial arts world who are willing to buy from me Second, if I were to buy so many demons, wouldn't it arouse suspicion from the Demon Suppression Department"
Shen Changqing also had some concerns in his heart.
Please note that I cannot process HTML tags. If you have text within the tags that needs translating, please provide it separately and I will be happy to help.
Although there are many demons and monsters in the world, few people know how to seal them, and it's very risky. Therefore, he wasn't sure if anyone in the martial arts world would constantly sell demons.
As for the last concern.
The thought had just arisen when he dismissed it.
Buying a few demonic creatures wouldn't raise much suspicion, and even if you bought a lot, you could easily cover it up by claiming to be righteous and hating evil.
Moreover.
As long as the subsequent strength improves, the corresponding concerns will also decrease.
In this world, fists ultimately speak louder than words.
> On the other side.
Upon hearing Shen Changqing's words, Ji Qu pondered for a moment before giving his response.
In the Jianghu, those from the "bangmen" are a minority. Those who know how to seal demons are also mostly from the "bangmen." Although those from the "bangmen" also cultivate martial arts, their greatest reliance besides martial arts is various methods.
Therefore, the people who truly hinder demons and evils are only a very small number.
But if someone offers a high price, I believe they would sell. Yuan Yang Auction House has some channels in this regard, how many I can't say for sure.
That’s a good piece of music.
This gave Shen Changqing a general sense of affirmation.
Then we can only wait until the auction is over and ask the people at Yuanyang Auction House.
Speaking of which.
He looked at Ji Qu.
“Since you’re an old hand, I wonder if you know anyone from the fringes”
"Ugh—"
Ji Qu was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses.
"Back in my younger days, when I traveled the world, I also knew some people from other sects. If Lord Shen has any ideas, I can help inquire about them."
"Then, thank you, Brother Ji."
It's nothing.
He smiled, then withdrew his smile and looked serious.
"Master Shen hates evil like his sworn enemy and dedicates himself to slaying demons for the sake of humanity. The old man finds this admirable, but if a large amount of demons are purchased, the silver spent alone would be considerable."
Moreover, those demons and fiends were already in the hands of the people from Beyond the Gate, so there was almost no chance they would cause any harm.
He felt that Shen Changqing was getting into a misunderstanding, so he wanted to advise him.
That's all.
Shen Changqing remained expressionless: "Dare to ask, Brother Ji, are there any hidden dangers in controlling demons through backdoor means You also mentioned earlier that demons need nourishment, so how are they nourished"
“Controlling demons through backdoors is certainly risky. Demons carry powerful negative energy, and prolonged exposure to it can contaminate someone, turning them violent and cruel.”
Some people may even be completely assimilated by demons, thus abandoning their human race and becoming demonkind.
This is why the back door is not well-received.
But the truly those who would be corrupted by demons are only a small number, otherwise, the heterodox paths wouldn't exist for so long.
He patiently explained the score.
He knows quite a bit about the back door.
"To nurture demonic beings, in essence, is to nourish them with blood. Demons, just like humans, require sustenance, and their food is raw flesh and blood. Only this way can they maintain their power."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However, those who follow the side paths feed demons livestock blood. This way, those demons can only maintain their current level and cannot drop it, but it's nearly impossible for them to improve their strength.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing nodded in agreement.
Only after the music finished playing did he smile faintly.
As Brother Ji said, even though the side sect controls demons, there are still many hidden dangers. The second is the cultivation of demons. Some people may feed demons with human flesh to increase their strength. How should we handle this
Brother, don't say that it's impossible.
As for human nature, I believe you and I are both very clear about it.
“Alas, such phenomena do exist, but once discovered, they would be eradicated directly by the Demon Suppression Bureau.”
Ji Qu sighed and seemed to agree with Shen Changqing's statement.
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing's face was filled with disdain: "Even if the Demon Suppression Division is wiped out, what difference does it make The dead will not come back to life. Since they waited until it happened before acting, why didn't they prepare in advance"
In my opinion, the Pángmén have indeed made considerable contributions to humanity. They seal demonic creatures and control them to fight for humanity, but the potential consequences are also not to be overlooked.
I paid them silver to purchase demons. After receiving the silver, they could exchange it for various resources to enhance their own strength, and they would no longer be in danger of being assimilated by demons. At the same time, they would still actively capture demons from all over the place.
This way, it can also alleviate the calamities of demons and monsters in various places.
And all I have given up are just some material possessions. What's not to enjoy
Shen Changqing finished speaking.
He just stood there, dumbfounded.
He instinctively felt that something was off about the other person's words, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
After some thought.
It seems like a good thing for the people, no matter how you look at it.
If you can't think of a problem, don't bother thinking about it.
He expressed admiration for the surface, but shook his head.
"Mr. Shen's idea is good, but this way, the silver to buy demons would be a lot, and with your own financial resources it would be difficult to sustain for long."
Even if the other party sold three manuals of master martial arts, and all the silver earned was spent on demonic creatures, how much use would that be
There are too many monsters and demons in the world.
A mere few million dollars poured in, not even a ripple.
Shen Changqing's expression was solemn.
“Brother Ji, you're mistaken. It's not about how much one can do in any given matter, but whether they've done their utmost. Even if I, Shen Changqing, were to spend every last bit of my wealth, I could only slay a few demons. But even then, I would be satisfied.”
Because I did my best, I “
My heart beats wildly with excitement.
Four words, like a curse, struck him directly in the heart.
“That's right, how many people in the world can truly be without reproach I must have been shortsighted. Hearing your words from Sir Shen is worth more than ten years of reading!”
At this moment, he finally realized the truth. Looking at Shen Changqing's face, he felt both admiration and gratitude, as if the other party had led him out of the fog.
In an instant.
He stood up and bowed deeply.
“Thank you, Sir Shen, for clearing up my confusion!”
After the ceremony concluded, Ji Qu only then straightened his posture.
>
Shen Changqing reached out his hand to gently support, and smiled faintly: "Brother Ji, why bother with such a grand ceremony Shen is just moved by the heart."
"As for Brother Shen, it comes from the heart. As for me, these words have made me understand many things, and I cannot thank you enough!"
The countenance of the musician was earnest and focused.
>
Upon seeing this.
Shen Changqing also smiled politely, as if to dismiss the matter.
It's unclear how true the words are.
Just be clear with yourself.
