Human Clan Defender-Chapter 464 - 211: Establishing Authority (Seeking Monthly Passes)

Chapter 464: Chapter 211: Establishing Authority (Seeking Monthly Passes)

After sending Shen Changqing off, Yuan Sheng immediately found someone to spread the news that the auction would officially start in seven days.

Having completed these tasks, he paced back and forth, a look of joy occasionally crossing his face, replaced at times by a serious expression.

This will definitely be the opportunity for Yuanyang Auction House and the Yuan family to reach the pinnacle of success.

Yuan Sheng could foresee that once the auction ended successfully, the reputation of both Yuanyang Auction House and the Yuan family would spread throughout the world.

Then, not just within Great Qin, even places like Great Liang and Dayue would hear of the Yuan family’s fame.

Therefore, he was well aware of how important this opportunity was for the Yuan family.

Although the Yuan family was already considered a top clan in the Jianghu, with Grandmaster Realm experts within its ranks, no one would refuse the chance to advance even further.

The Yuan family was no exception. As long as they seized this opportunity, the Yuan family could unquestionably rise to the next level.

This time could be the Yuan family’s chance to ascend to the heavens in one step.

Unless some earth-shattering calamity occurred in the future, nothing could shake the foundation of the Yuan family.

After leaving the black market, Shen Changqing returned to the Demon-Subduing Division. He had already given all the necessary instructions.

What remained was simply to wait for the time to arrive and then head to the black market.

Regarding this, he didn’t think too much about it.

Back in the courtyard, Tiankui had fallen into a state of deep sleep after ingesting a drop of Essence Blood, but Shen Changqing could feel its aura gradually increasing.

Deep within its body, it was as if a bloodline power was slowly awakening.

The flesh sac on its back trembled lightly, as if it could burst open at any moment.

Entering maturity, Tiankui’s evolution differs greatly from its past advancements. It seems it will take a few more days.

After observing Tiankui for a moment, Shen Changqing was able to roughly gauge its current state.

Once this Fierce Beast awakened, it would officially have entered maturity.

According to the records of the Demon-Subduing Division, the Grandmaster Peak was the limit for Tiankui.

However, in his view, there has never been a concept of limits, only whether one can break through them or not.

If Tiankui was further nurtured, it might even break past these limits.

Having thought this through, Shen Changqing retracted his gaze.

Now was not the time to think too much. Since it hadn’t truly entered maturity yet, the notion of breaking limits was still too distant.

Afterwards, he returned to his room and silently contemplated the Banishing Evil Great Palm Imprint.

The previous integration had made him realize that after merging Divine Skills, one might not necessarily reach the entry threshold right away, but could be in a pre-entry stage instead.

Taking advantage of the time at hand, he might as well contemplate it further.

If he could master the Banishing Evil Great Palm Imprint, future integration might save him a significant amount of Divine Ability Value.

Meanwhile, as Shen Changqing once again entered seclusion, within Mountain-Breaking City, personnel from the Demon-Subduing Division, accompanied by the city’s army, had completely surrounded an inconspicuous house.

This commotion also attracted the attention of many people.

"What happened?"

"Seems like it’s something significant."

Many people murmured among themselves, yet no one showed any intention of getting involved.

In the crowd, Cui Ping asked in a low voice, "Sect Master, with such sudden action from the Demon-Subduing Division, could it be that there’s Demon Evil present?"

A few days ago, he tried to visit Shen Changqing and couldn’t even enter the gates of the Demon-Subduing Division.

Since then, Cui Ping had given up on that idea and was simply following Master Guiyuan around the city to broaden his horizons.

Hearing this, Master Guiyuan’s face grew somewhat solemn. "The possibility of Demon Evil is slim. With so many strong people in the city, and considering that this is a branch of the Demon-Subduing Division, common Demon Evils entering would be tantamount to suicide. Let’s wait and see; there must be some other reason."

As he spoke, he looked around at the people drawn by the disturbance. There were many individuals, most of them capable Martial Artists.

In the distance, there were even Grandmaster experts, silently observing.

Clearly, this action by the Demon-Subduing Division had touched the hearts of many.

As for the surrounding people, Deng Gu paid them no mind. His gaze fixated on the house in front of him, he called out in a cold voice, "According to information received, this place harbors remnants of the Barbarian Clan. Open the door immediately for the Demon-Subduing Division to conduct a thorough search. If you refuse to cooperate, the only path left is death!"

His voice boomed, reaching everyone’s ears.

At this point, the others finally understood the cause of the Demon-Subduing Division’s significant action.

Remnants of the Barbarian Clan!

They had not expected that people from the Barbarian Clan had infiltrated this far.

Judging by the Demon-Subduing Division’s reaction, the likelihood of false information was slim.

On the other side, as Deng Gu’s words faded, there was no response from the house.

A moment, two moments...

After ten moments, Deng Gu waved his hand decisively, his expression stern.

"Break the house!"

As he finished speaking, he stepped back, and the experts behind him stepped forward as their True Qi erupted, launching attacks at the house.

Instantly, the house collapsed under the terrifying assault.

Dust flew. Several figures burst forth from within, their terrifyingly fluctuating auras shocking the onlookers.

"They finally came out!"

Deng Gu sneered coldly. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

He stepped into the air and charged into the dust alone, unleashing the full power of the Grandmaster Realm, and ferociously struck out with his palm.

BOOM—

A similarly strong ripple spread as the two forces collided.

In a flash, all the dust was forcefully compressed downward.

Deng Gu’s body trembled slightly, then promptly retreated backward.

At this moment, the others finally got a clear view of who exactly was atop the ruins of the house.

Three men and two women. Each of them was wearing the attire of the Qin People, but the coarse skin beneath their clothes betrayed their identity.

"Kill them!" Deng Gu commanded coldly.

The ordinary soldiers stepped back in unison, and the Demon-Subduing Division’s powerhouses took immediate action.

"Break through!"

The leading Barbarian Clan man, his face contorted with rage and shock, was the first to charge towards Deng Gu.

Seeing this, the other Barbarian Clan members also chose places to forcibly break through.

And just like that, a battle erupted.

Five Barbarian Clan members: three at the Grandmaster Realm, two possessing Innate Outer Gang strength. The full outburst of their power was indeed terrifying.

Unfortunately, the Demon-Subduing Division was well prepared.

The people who came this time included not just five Grandmasters, but also over a dozen Innate Realm Demon Hunters.

Surrounded by a multitude of powerhouses, the Barbarian Clan members had no chance of breaking through.

After about thirty to forty-five minutes, the encircled Barbarian Clan powerhouses were overwhelmingly slain by the members of the Demon-Subduing Division.

Blood splattered, mingling with the dust.

Deng Gu, looking at the Barbarian Clan corpses on the ground, their eyes wide open in death, said indifferently, "Take all the corpses away, hang them outside the city to show the public, and let the other Barbarian Clan members know that this is the fate for those who dare to enter the territory of Great Qin uninvited."

"Yes!"

The soldiers bowed and accepted the order.

After giving his command, Deng Gu led the people away.

From beginning to end, this fight unfolded without any complication.

"The strength of the Demon-Subduing Division is horrifyingly strong indeed. Even though there are rumors in Jianghu that the Division’s power has waned, it’s still not something ordinary forces can contend with," remarked Master Guiyuan, shaking his head in amazement.

Strong. It was truly strong.

Three Grandmasters and two with Innate Outer Gang strength were so swiftly killed off, not one managing to escape.

In the Guiyuan Sword Sect, just one Grandmaster alone would cause them heavy casualties.

Three Grandmasters and two with Innate Outer Gang strength—such power could exterminate the Guiyuan Sword Sect without much effort.

Despite their formidable strength, they failed to cause even the slightest disturbance under the Demon-Subduing Division’s assault. It had to be said, the power displayed by the Demon-Subduing Division was truly astonishing.

This battle not only shocked Master Guiyuan, but other observing forces were also extremely shaken.

Grandmaster powerhouses. In Jianghu, they were the Dominators of top sects, and the sects that could boast having Grandmasters were few and far between.

What’s more important, in this operation against the Barbarian Clan, the Demon-Subduing Division clearly had not deployed much of its strength.

As a result, it made the Demon-Subduing Division’s might seem all the more unfathomable.

Inside the tavern, Beiming Wang, holding a cup of wine, looked through the window at the scene below, his face showing little change.

The Demon-Subduing Division is trying to assert its power.

He had some understanding of the current predicament of Great Qin’s Demon Suppression Division.

The phenomenon of Demon Evil wreaking havoc in Great Qin was far more severe than in Great Liang.

Now, with the Heaven Alliance emerging out of nowhere, the influence of the Demon-Subduing Division had greatly diminished.

Now that numerous strong individuals were gathered in Mountain-Breaking City, it was a good opportunity for the Division to show off its strength and re-establish its past authority.

There was nothing wrong with this approach.

If he had been in the Demon-Subduing Division, he would have made the same decision.

After a few glances, Beiming Wang withdrew his gaze.

How the Demon-Subduing Division was establishing its prowess wasn’t a big concern to him.

He was here for the Grandmaster Martial Arts and, furthermore, to find an opportunity to win over Shen Changqing, showing him Great Liang’s goodwill.

Unfortunately, ever since he first saw Shen Changqing, Beiming Wang had wanted to find an opportunity to meet with him again, only to discover that there was no chance at all.

That Defender Shen seemed to do nothing but go into seclusion, offering no opportunities whatsoever.

About this, he felt quite helpless.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Beiming Wang could only console himself.

Shen Changqing’s strength and accomplishments are the results of his dedicated practice.

"By the way, I heard that people from Dayue have already been to the Demon-Subduing Division?" Beiming Wang asked the person in front of him, speaking indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the person bowed their head. "A few days ago, Wang Xiao led people to the Demon-Subduing Division, but whether they met Shen Changqing is uncertain for now."

"Hmph, it seems their purpose is the same as ours. Wang Xiao—"

Beiming Wang snorted coldly. As he said the name Wang Xiao, a burst of momentum clearly rose from him, but it quickly dissipated.

As a high-ranking general himself, he knew quite a lot about Wang Xiao and had numerous interactions with him.

If possible, Beiming Wang indeed hoped to compete with him once more.
