Chapter 420: Chapters 178 to 180 Human Clan’s Conflict Cannot Be Meddled by Demon Evil (Three-in-One Chapter, Seeking Monthly Votes)_4

In other words, he is equivalent to the current Prefect of South Nether Prefecture.

"Elder Hua, you have had some interactions with Shen Changqing. Do you have any understanding of him?"

Finally, Shen Yin’s gaze settled on the silent figure.

Upon seeing this, Shen Hua lightly coughed twice. "COUGH. COUGH. Although I have had some interactions with Shen Changqing, I don’t actually have a significant understanding of him. I only know that Shen Changqing is very strong and decisive in his actions. However, while his strength is considerable, speaking of contending against Shimohe, I’m afraid there isn’t much chance of that!"

His understanding of Shen Changqing was limited; he had only had some contact with him in the Heavenly Realm. The rest were just rumors from Jianghu. In Shen Hua’s memory, although Shen Changqing was strong, there was a substantial difference when comparing him with the renowned Shimohe.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yin nodded. "I thought so too. But there was a confrontation between the two in front of South Gate City, and from the information, it seems that no victor emerged. Moreover, Shimohe’s agreement to a one-year truce could also be due to concerns about Shen Changqing’s strength. At this time, the Shen Family should truly make our stance clear."

Previously, the Heaven Alliance had the upper hand, and the Demon-Subduing Division was falling into a disadvantage. Although the Shen Family could be considered allied with the Demon-Subduing Division, they dared not appear too obvious. If the Demon-Subduing Division were defeated, then it would be difficult for the Shen Family to extricate itself. But Shen Yin also understood that if the Shen Family remained inactive, it would be a very troublesome matter for them should the Demon-Subduing Division, after dealing with the Heaven Alliance, decide to settle old scores. Therefore, he had always been waiting for an opportunity, a chance to truly pick a side.

If it could be determined that the Demon-Subduing Division was doomed, then the Shen Family would have to make a drastic decision and directly choose the side of the Heaven Alliance. On the contrary, they would have to provide strength to the Demon-Subduing Division to assist in the elimination of the Heaven Alliance. As the situation developed, the Shen Family also reached the time to make a definitive statement.

"Recently, Shen Changqing exterminated Demon Evil in Mountain-Breaking City, causing the Eternal Alliance Master to flee with heavy injuries. Now, he has also been appointed as the Defender Envoy of South Nether Prefecture and is able to resist the offensive momentum of the Heaven Alliance. His strength is undoubtedly formidable. However, Shimohe is a powerful figure from eight hundred years ago, with a profound and extraordinary foundation. Since his emergence, he has never suffered any defeat, so whether Shen Changqing can contend with Shimohe is still a question. What do you think? Should the Shen Family choose the side of the Demon-Subduing Division or the Heaven Alliance?" Shen Yin looked towards the crowd, speaking indifferently.

No one answered. They were all contemplating this matter.

Finally, the Grand Elder of the Shen Family spoke, "Our Shen Family has always been aligned with the Demon-Subduing Division. And do not forget, Family Head, that this world is still the world of Great Qin. Even if the Heaven Alliance acquires South Nether Prefecture, it only means they control the territory of one prefecture. On the contrary, Great Qin has stood for more than three hundred years, and even in its current weakened state, its strength is still beyond comparison for other factions. Moreover, there’s the Emperor Qin in the Capital City. Even though he hasn’t made a move for a hundred years, Family Head, you must not forget the battle a hundred years ago—"

The battle a hundred years ago!

Many faces showed confusion, yet a few understood the gravity of what was implied. The battle a hundred years ago was the one that truly established the status of that Emperor Qin. Since then, rumors have circulated in the outside world: Demon Evil has not broken Great Qin because of that Emperor Qin’s presence. The current surge in their activity is purportedly due to Emperor Qin nearing the end of his lifespan. However, "nearing the end of his lifespan" and actually passing away are two different concepts. As long as he is not dead, he cannot be overlooked.

Recalling the rumors he had heard from the Shen Family elders, Shen Yin nodded gravely. "I understand the Grand Elder’s meaning. Do the rest of you have any opinions?"

"It’s entirely up to the Family Head to decide." The other elders of the Shen Family exchanged glances and responded in unison.

「South Sea City.」

Inside the Demon-Subduing Division’s grand hall, Shen Changqing had already traveled from South Gate City to South Sea City. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"How much strength remains in the Demon-Subduing Division in South Sea City?" he asked, looking towards Yun Venerable.

Upon hearing this, Yun Venerable saluted with his fists. "Currently, in South Sea City’s Demon-Subduing Division—not counting the Defender Envoy—there are five Heaven Rank Demon Hunters, seventeen Earth Rank Demon Hunters, and one hundred thirty-six Profound Rank Demon Hunters. The number of Yellow Rank Demon Hunters has not yet been tallied. In terms of numbers, it is roughly within a thousand!"

Under a thousand. Even if it was counted as a thousand, for the area under the jurisdiction of South Sea City’s Demon-Subduing Division, such a number of Pulse Condensation Realm Martial Artists was not really a lot. All Yellow Rank Defender Envoys, strictly speaking, are essentially reserves. They serve as reinforcements for the Profound Rank, and even for the Earth Rank and Heaven Rank. Indeed, they are backups for Defender Envoys.

Hearing this, Shen Changqing nodded. "If the Demon-Subduing Division mobilizes all its strength, Defender Yun, how long are you confident it will take to completely eliminate the currently rampaging Demon Evil?"

Eliminate them completely? Yun Venerable reflected for a moment. "Does Defender Shen mean in the area we currently control, or does it include the area that has already been taken by the Heaven Alliance?"

"Naturally, it’s the area we currently control!" Shen Changqing looked at Yun Venerable as if he were a fool. What does he mean? Are we supposed to help the Heaven Alliance exterminate Demon Evil? Now that the Heaven Alliance has captured a large territory, it’s our time to sit back and watch the show. After all, the territory is theirs now. But the Demon Evil on that territory have also shifted from being the Demon-Subduing Division’s responsibility to that of the Heaven Alliance. If the Heaven Alliance members lack the capability to exterminate Demon Evil, and the common people are driven to grievances by their rampage, perhaps the Heaven Alliance will collapse on its own without us even needing to lift a finger.
