Chapter 30

Shitu Bei's words.

Let Shen Changqing understand clearly.

Indeed.

The Demon Suppression Bureau was aware of the demon blood.

After all, as a Heaven Inspector, Shitu Bei knew about the demon blood, so the Demon Suppression Bureau had no reason to be completely unaware.

Confirming his suspicions,

Shen Changqing said, "Since the Demon Suppression Bureau is clear about the demon blood, why hasn't there been any action to prevent the demon blood from emerging?"

To be honest,

He also had a lot of doubts.

The Demon Suppression Bureau was so clear about the demon blood, why didn't they strengthen the seal at the beginning, or simply take the demon blood away, instead of letting it remain here, watching the seal break?

But Shitu Bei's next words resolved Shen Changqing's doubts.

"Lord Shen, you may not know, the location of the demon blood is very hidden. Unless a great cost is paid, it's impossible to find the location of the demon blood.

However, according to the information, the demon blood there is not of high rank, and it's not worth the Demon Suppression Bureau paying a great cost.

Of course,

The demon blood is not of high rank relative to the Demon Suppression Bureau, but to ordinary people, it is still a precious thing!"

Shitu Bei replied truthfully.

Shen Changqing nodded, "Can you determine the rank of the demon blood that has emerged?"

"The demon that fell was a mid-rank demon, but after hundreds of years of weakening, it definitely won't retain its original power. It might have dropped to a low-rank demon level, just comparable to a low-rank demon."

Shitu Bei thought for a moment and then said.

Originally a mid-rank demon.

After hundreds of years, it weakened to a low-rank demon level.

This explanation was reasonable.

After speaking,

Shitu Bei looked at Shen Changqing tentatively, "Could it be that Lord Shen also has the intention to compete for the demon blood? If so, the Heaven Inspectors of Lin'an City will certainly provide full cooperation!"

"The demon blood is of no use to me for now."

Shen Changqing shook his head.

He understood Shitu Bei's meaning; the other party merely assumed he wanted to compete for the demon blood.

In fact,

The demon blood is indeed a precious thing.

Although demons are feared, it doesn't mean they are completely worthless.

Among them,

The demon blood is a treasure.

Some people can use special methods to extract the energy contained in the demon blood, ultimately for their own use.

If he didn't have the panel,

Shen Changqing might also have competed for it.

But now, with the panel, he could directly improve his strength by steadily slaying some weak demons, which was much better than competing for the demon blood.

Moreover,

Shen Changqing speculated.

Refining the demon blood must have other drawbacks.

But he couldn't be too sure about what those drawbacks were, as the records in the first floor of the library were limited.

When he returned to the Demon Suppression Bureau,

Shen Changqing had already made up his mind to spend some time to thoroughly study the important knowledge of this world.

Suddenly,

A young man walked in and whispered something in Shitu Bei's ear.

Because their voices were extremely low,

Even if Shen Changqing listened carefully, he couldn't hear clearly.

Soon,

The young man finished speaking, took a letter from his pocket, handed it to Shitu Bei, and then respectfully withdrew.

After he left,

Shitu Bei took two steps forward and respectfully handed the letter to Shen Changqing.

"Lord Shen, the Demon Suppression Bureau in the capital has sent you a letter!"

"Hmm?"

Shen Changqing's brows furrowed, and he took the letter.

Instinctively, he felt a sense of foreboding.

Since he was only out on a mission, and the mission was completed, receiving a letter at this time meant there was definitely a problem.

Taking a deep breath,

Shen Changqing opened the letter in front of Shitu Bei and read its contents.

Shen Changqing:

According to the information, demon blood has emerged in the Lin'an City area. This news will certainly attract the attention of many powerful figures and demons.

To avoid the citizens of Lin'an City being affected, we hope you can temporarily stay in Lin'an City and prevent any forces from affecting the citizens.

Additionally, you don't need to worry too much. Although your strength is not strong, the Demon Suppression Bureau's reputation will ensure that various forces will give you some leeway. If you act too out of line, they will also give you some leeway.

As long as you ensure the safety of Lin'an City, it will be considered a merit. For the next year, you won't need to go on any more missions and can stay in the Demon Suppression Bureau to cultivate.

After a few breaths, Shen Changqing finished reading the letter. The signature at the end was Jiang Zuo.

After reading it,

His expression became somewhat strange.

Clearly,

The Demon Suppression Bureau had just received the news that the demon blood was about to break the seal.

However,

Jiang Feng's request for him to stay in Lin'an City made Shen Changqing want to complain.

The Demon Suppression Bureau was really short of manpower, so they had to send him, a mere Pulse-Through martial artist, to take charge of a region.

As for the words that followed, they were even more absurd.

What did it mean that the Demon Suppression Bureau's reputation would ensure that various forces would give him some leeway? Indeed, the Demon Suppression Bureau's reputation was often useful.

But one must understand,

Those who would compete for the demon blood, besides various forces, also included the greatest threat: demons!

Other forces might give the Demon Suppression Bureau some leeway, but demons certainly wouldn't.

If the demons knew of his existence, they might even try to eliminate him.

"This is a case of desperation!"

Shen Changqing sighed.

Indeed, no mission from the Demon Suppression Bureau was simple.

Eliminating the strange occurrences in Gu Yue Village was a dangerous mission, and now guarding Lin'an City was an even more dangerous one, with the possibility of losing his life at any moment.

But there was no choice.

Jiang Feng's words had already reached him, and a manager of the Yellow Department Exorcist Academy couldn't really have the authority to entrust the safety of a city to a trainee exorcist.

Therefore,

There must be some high-level intentions behind this.

From this simple letter,

Shen Changqing could see how severe the situation of the Demon Suppression Bureau was.

Standing beside him, Shitu Bei, seeing his changing expressions, didn't dare to ask anything easily.

After a long time,

Shen Changqing came back to his senses.

At this point, refusing was impossible. All he could do was stay in Lin'an City and suppress all the evil spirits.

With this thought,

He looked at Shitu Bei, took out the letter he had written and prepared to take back to the Demon Suppression Bureau, and handed it along with a Clear Spirit Pendant to the other party.

"Send this letter and the Clear Spirit Pendant to the Demon Suppression Bureau in the capital as quickly as possible. Additionally, mobilize all the Heaven Inspectors in Lin'an City. I want to get information on all the forces and Pulse-Through experts currently in Lin'an City as soon as possible."
