"Taking more would just be a waste."
Upon hearing Jiang An’s polite refusal, Shen Changqing couldn’t help but insist, "Are you sure you don’t want a bit more? Actually, after breaking through to Great Grandmaster, I can replenish the blood loss. You don’t have to worry about it affecting my foundation."
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Shen." Jiang An was filled with gratitude.
He felt that Shen Changqing was trying to reassure him and was also concerned about the Demon-Subduing Division’s overall situation, which is why he would say such a thing. In fact, never mind the consumption of Essence Blood; even replenishing regular blood wasn’t easily done. The stronger one’s power, the more difficult it was to replenish after consumption.
Seeing Jiang An’s firm refusal, Shen Changqing finally gave up on the idea of using this to make money.
But after thinking about it, it seed alright. All in all, building the Demon-Subduing Prison not only cost him no rit Points but had actually netted him an extra 3,000 rit Points. Once he accumulated 10,000 rit Points, he would be able to extract a mid-tier Demon Evil from the Demon Sealing Tower.
「 」
Because the Exotic Beasts were slower than Tiankui, it took nearly five days for Shen Changqing to return to Mountain-Breaking City with his n. Mountain-Breaking City hadn’t changed much. He led Jiang An and the others directly to the Demon-Subduing Division.
"Lord Defender!"
As soon as Shen Changqing stepped into the Demon-Subduing Division, Deng Gu was already waiting there. Perhaps due to his frequent interactions with Shen Changqing, this Demon Hunter had seemingly beco the designated person for reception.
While speaking, Deng Gu glanced at Jiang An and the rest, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes. He didn’t know their identities and had limited contact with people from the Hidden Heart Pavilion.
Noticing the curiosity in Deng Gu’s gaze, Shen Changqing said, "This is Elder Jiang An of the Suppressing Evil Hall, and these are other mbers of the hall. Demon Hunter Deng, please arrange for their reception and ensure proper courtesy."
"Yes!" Deng Gu’s expression beca solemn. He then turned to Jiang An and the others, saying, "Elder Jiang, and everyone, please follow ."
"Much appreciated," Jiang An nodded.
As Deng Gu led the guests away, Shen Changqing asked Tiankui to return to his own lodgings, while he himself headed towards the Council Hall.
Inside the hall, only Mu Qing was present; the others were nowhere to be seen.
Upon seeing Shen Changqing enter, the Defender Envoy rose from his seat. "Defender Shen has returned."
"Hmm, where are Defender Ji and the others?"
"Defender Ji is still in seclusion, healing his wounds. Fu Lan isn’t from Mountain-Breaking City; she must have her own plans," Mu Qing replied, shaking his head.
Fu Lan was, after all, from Baiyue City. Although Baiyue City had been conquered by the Heaven Alliance, it didn’t an everyone from Baiyue City’s Demon-Subduing Division had died at their hands. In fact, not many had truly fallen. Most had scattered and fled after Yuan Ji’s demise. So found their way to South Sea City and Mountain-Breaking City, but others seized the opportunity to escape the Demon-Subduing Division’s authority. The issues involved were not trivial. However, Mu Qing had no intention of ddling too much. Anyway, not all of Baiyue City’s Defender Envoys were dead. If there were any real problems, Fu Lan and the others could handle them; he wouldn’t interfere excessively.
Shen Changqing nodded. "I’ve brought back the people from the Suppressing Evil Hall and plan to build the Demon-Subduing Prison. Defender Mu, where in the Demon-Subduing Division do you think would be a suitable location for it?"
Mu Qing fell into thought. After a long while, he spoke, "The primary purpose of the Demon-Subduing Prison is to imprison Demon Evil. It must be a highly secure location, impervious to attacks, and it cannot allow the Demon Evil contained within to be released. In my opinion, why not situate it right next to the Scripture Pavilion? There’s also suitable space for the Demon-Subduing Prison there. Moreover, those guarding the Scripture Pavilion can concurrently oversee the Demon-Subduing Prison."
Next to the Scripture Pavilion? Shen Changqing considered its geographical location, then nodded. Indeed, the Scripture Pavilion’s location was excellent. It was right in the heartland of the Demon-Subduing Division, with strong defensive forces, so there was no need to worry about mishaps. Although he didn’t plan to let the Demon Evil survive too long in the Demon-Subduing Prison, he couldn’t possibly harvest them daily; there would definitely be a schedule for batches. If a large number of imprisoned Demon Evil were released at once, it would also be a problem. Thus, the position next to the Scripture Pavilion was quite suitable. If, one day, the Demon-Subduing Prison were breached, then the entirety of Mountain-Breaking City, and indeed the Demon-Subduing Division itself, would very likely be on the verge of annihilation. At that point, even if the Demon Evil imprisoned inside were released, it wouldn’t change anything.
Once the location was decided, Shen Changqing imdiately arranged for people to prepare for the construction of the Demon-Subduing Prison.
The Demon-Subduing Prison was of vital importance. Once completed, he would effectively have an inexhaustible place to harvest Slaughter Value. His ability to harvest Slaughter Value alone was limited; mobilizing everyone’s strength was the true path. It was just like recently at the Yuanyang Auction House, where he had directly obtained over seven hundred Slaughter Value points. Ordinarily, acquiring over seven hundred Slaughter Value points would require either exceptional luck—encountering a large number of Demon Evil to kill—or spending a very long ti searching for Demon Evil bit by bit and then slaying them. A setup like the Yuanyang Auction House, where he could just invest so Silver Taels, make a trip half a year later, and bring back a large amount of Slaughter Value, was quite agreeable in Shen Changqing’s view. And that was just from a single Yuanyang Auction House.
