Chapter 442: 192 to 94 Chapters I can also give (Thanks to "Listening to Autumn Yellow" Alliance Hierarch for the reward Three-in-one Chapter)_4

"The Demon Detecting Instrument possesses formidable perception abilities; as long as any Demon Evil appears within the Capital City, it will be immediately detected. Suppressing Evil Hall, together with Demon Sealing Hall, has already applied to the Imperial Palace to borrow the Demon Detecting Instrument for research. If its principles can be deciphered, it’s believed that mass production won’t be far off."

Demon Detecting Instrument! Mass production! Shen Changqing’s heart trembled. If what Jiang An said was correct, then it truly represented a formidable reform. One can imagine that, in the future, if every city were equipped with a device similar to the Demon Detecting Instrument, then the Demon Evil would have nowhere to hide. To put it in simpler terms, if the Demon Detecting Instrument can indeed sense the range of an entire city, then with sufficient quantities produced, they could be placed throughout all the regions of Great Qin. In this way, all the Demon Evil in the nine provinces of Great Qin would have nowhere to hide.

From these few words, many connections formed in his mind. Shen Changqing was certain: If Hidden Heart Pavilion truly succeeded, it would fundamentally alter the landscape of Great Qin.

A profound look immediately entered his eyes as he said, "This information hasn’t spread, has it? If it leaks, those from the Demon Evil Clan won’t just sit by and do nothing." If he were on the Demon Evil’s side and knew that Great Qin had developed such a potent tool, he would most certainly seek to destroy it. Otherwise, once it actually became widespread, it would pose an immense threat to the Demon Evil Clan.

Jiang An shook his head and spoke in a low voice, "This information, naturally, will not be leaked. Right now, the only ones aware are the upper echelons of our Suppressing Evil Hall and Demon Sealing Hall. Beyond them, the only other people who truly understand its full implications are Brother Shen and Defender Dongfang."

"Even so, it may not be safe," Shen Changqing was still somewhat worried. Even the Martial Emperor had betrayed them; what about those other high-ranking officials? No matter how high their standing, could they possibly rank above the Martial Emperor?

Jiang An understood what he was thinking and shook his head with a smile. "Brother Shen, you might not be aware, but what we from Suppressing Evil Hall and Demon Sealing Hall pursue is different from what you pursue. It’s not to say that we are all doing this solely for the Human Clan, but we share a common aspiration: to one day achieve undying fame, ensuring the things we research are recognized and admired by the world for generations. Whether we achieve longevity or not is something we don’t place too much importance on. Besides, given enough time, it’s not impossible for us to research the secrets of the Demon Evil’s lifespan. With that in mind, why bother betraying? The only benefit of joining the Eternal Alliance is the chance to gain so-called longevity. But if one isn’t concerned with longevity in the first place, then joining the Eternal Alliance is meaningless."

Shen Changqing felt his concerns ease at these words. Jiang An wasn’t wrong; the people from the two halls were indeed very different from others. If one were truly concerned about lifespan, then one should be engrossed in cultivation. After all, the higher the Realm, the longer the lifespan—that is an eternal truth. According to this reasoning, the people from the two halls indeed had little reason to betray.

"Speaking of which, Brother Jiang, have you ever met the Pavilion Masters of Suppressing Evil Hall and Demon Sealing Hall?"

"No. The Pavilion Masters of both halls are shrouded in mystery. I have been in Suppressing Evil Hall for a long time and have never met them," Jiang An shook his head.

Hearing this, Shen Changqing didn’t inquire any further. He watched the people working for a moment and then withdrew his gaze. "If there are any problems when I’m not here, Brother Jiang, you can seek help from the Defender Envoy of Mountain-Breaking City. I believe they will not refuse."

"I understand," Jiang An nodded.

After watching for a while longer, Shen Changqing turned and left. He had other matters to attend to; the issues concerning the Demon-Subduing Prison could be left for Jiang An to handle. Being from Suppressing Evil Hall, Jiang An was quite specialized in this field. Even if he stayed, Shen Changqing wouldn’t be of much assistance.

「Great Liang, Imperial Palace.」

The slightly aged Liang Emperor listened to the report from the person below, as the Imperial Court officials all remained silent. After a long time, only when the person below finished speaking did he slowly say, "The Great Grandmaster of Great Qin wishes to auction his own Martial Arts. What opinions do the ministers have on this matter?"

As his words fell, a broad-shouldered, resolute-faced middle-aged man stepped forward, cupped his fist, and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, we absolutely must not miss the Grandmaster Martial Arts. If we can acquire it, perhaps we can fathom its profound mysteries. If Great Liang can produce a Great Grandmaster, it will surely change our situation."

"The Great General is right," another minister interjected, raising a concern. "But the question is, will that Great Grandmaster from Great Qin truly offer the complete Grandmaster Martial Arts, or could there be some underlying issues with it?"

It was common knowledge that a Great Grandmaster represented the absolute pinnacle among contemporary martial artists. Any martial artist who managed to step into the Realm of a Great Grandmaster would possess strength comparable to high-level Demon Evils. The truly powerful ones, like Shimohe and Shen Changqing, could even suppress high-level Demon Evils. Such strength was considered top-tier, not just in Great Qin, but among all nations of the world. Therefore, it was hard to imagine any powerful individual openly auctioning off such Martial Arts. If Great Liang were to possess a Great Grandmaster, all associated Martial Arts manuals would be guarded as top secrets; they would never allow Grandmaster Martial Arts to spread.

Hearing this, the Liang Emperor said blandly, "The one auctioning the Grandmaster Martial Arts is Shen Changqing. Although he belongs to the Demon-Subduing Division, reports suggest that even Gu Xuanji might not have him under complete control. There may be issues with auctioning Grandmaster Martial Arts, but regardless, our Great Liang must compete for it."
