When the day cos for the Demon Evil Clan to truly arrive, soone must stand up to face them. "I hope that the Imperial Family will supply the Demon-Subduing Division with full support to capture Demon Evil. Although my own personal interests are involved, it is also for the sake of Great Qin's future considerations."
By now, Shen Changqing no longer needed to be too cautious. When he was weak in the past, he had to be very careful to avoid others learning his secrets, but now, that was no longer necessary. Furthermore, Gu Xuanji had purposely left the Ghost Saint for him, probably having guessed sothing about the situation. Not to ntion that martial artists who slay Demon Evil can receive a gift of Spiritual Power. However, no martial artist who had slain Demon Evil had grown to such a state. Behind this, Gu Xuanji must have definitely understood the difference between him and ordinary martial artists. Gu Xuanji understood, but he had said nothing. A major reason was that his own strength had already beco so powerful it was difficult to check. Currently, Shen Changqing also did not have too many concerns. He didn't need to speak about the panel, but the fact that killing Demon Evil could enhance one's strength was already clear to so keen individuals.
Now he first stated the threat of the Demon Evil, and then he explained the importance of Demon Evil to himself. The rest would depend on how the other party considered it.
Gu Xing pondered. Shen Changqing's words had essentially laid the matter out in the open. If the Imperial Family supports him, then Great Qin could have an even more terrifyingly strong warrior in the future. If the Imperial Family doesn't offer support... Gu Xing thought, looking at Shen Changqing and privately shaking his head. Even if they don't, they likely can't limit him anyway. Such a strong person can no longer be restrained by power alone. If the Imperial Family disagrees, they could very likely push him to oppose them. Gu Xing was certain that other major powers had already been keeping a close eye on Shen Changqing. If Great Qin let go, Great Liang and Dayue would definitely take imdiate action to win him over. In such a case, the Imperial Family actually had no room to choose.
Unless I truly don't care about Shen Changqing's departure. But the question is, can we afford not to care? If Great Qin were to lack this Defender, the subsequent problems could be far too significant. It was true that Great Qin still had Dongfang Zhao. However, Gu Xing clearly understood that Dongfang Zhao did not have much ti left either. Once he passes, the Demon-Subduing Division will truly be without a leader. At that ti, Great Qin, which has been maintained for more than three hundred years, will completely fall into decline. Thinking about such consequences, he silently sighed. I have no intention of becoming the monarch of a fallen nation, so my only choice is to agree.
"Defender Shen's intentions are clear to as well. Rest assured, the Imperial Family will support you with all our might, but one person's strength is ultimately limited. I also hope that the Demon-Subduing Division can cultivate more strong warriors. Otherwise, if Defender Shen has to do everything personally, it's not quite appropriate," Gu Xing added.
Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Shen Changqing's face. "The Demon-Subduing Division has existed for many years; I will certainly not let it decline."

In the small pavilion, Shen Changqing had departed. Gu Xing now sat alone where Gu Xuanji, his father, had often sat, his own expression calm.
Father Emperor, Gu Xing mused, your son finally understands. Ascending to this position doesn't truly an one can do as one pleases. In the past, I had always wanted to sit in this position. Now that the desire has co true, I truly understand that while this position can bring great benefits, it also cos with trendous pressure. When Father Emperor was alive, all the pressure was borne by him alone. Now that he has passed away, the great burden of Great Qin has fallen solely on .
Gu Xing was very clear how great that pressure was.
He stood up, hands behind his back, and looked out towards the pond outside the small pavilion. Fish darted about, and the water rippled slightly. Gu Xing had once not understood why his Father Emperor always liked to stay here. Now, however, he sowhat understood; doing so could indeed help calm one's mind significantly.

After leaving the Imperial Palace and resolving the upcoming issues for the Demon-Subduing Division, Shen Changqing didn't return to his usual residence. Instead, he directly left the Capital City and arrived at an abandoned village. It would seem unlikely for there to be an abandoned village so close to the Capital City. The trouble was, the havoc wrought by the previous Demon Evil infestation had caused many people within the vicinity of the Capital City to perish at their hands. Villages were destroyed and their people perished – it was an all too common tale.
His Divine Sense spread out. After confirming with his Divine Sense that there was no one else within a radius of several miles, Shen Changqing focused his mind.
Inside the panel, the Divine Heaven Golden Body and the Tribulation Thunder True Body were both ready.
"rge!"
With a thought, the two Martial Arts violently distorted and in the next mont, rged into one.
BOOM!
A thunderclap on a clear day resounded once again. This ti, without any delay, heavenly lightning imdiately poured from the sky. Purple heavenly thunder, carrying an aura of destruction, plumted like pillars, tearing open the void as it passed.
The colossal commotion was clearly visible for hundreds of miles around.
Powerful experts who saw that descending pillar of lightning had expressions of shock on their faces.
He's making a breakthrough again! Dongfang Zhao inwardly marveled. He was sowhat envious. It is said that the higher the Realm, the more difficult it is to make a breakthrough. But Shen Changqing seed to exhibit no such problem. On the contrary, it seed the more advanced he beca, the easier his breakthroughs were. The feeling was as if it were as simple as eating and drinking. Dongfang Zhao envied him greatly for that.
