Human Clan Defender-Chapter 644 - s Divine Weapon Holy Slaying Blade, Dao Arms Ninth Grade (Combined - , seeking monthly votes) _2

For myself, there was no significant impact. If the other party truly lacks potential, then there's nothing that can be done. But if they possess some talent, Shen Changqing wouldn't mind nurturing them, letting the Human Clan gain one more powerhouse.

Upon receiving a reply, Gongye Heng bowed deeply. "On behalf of the Gongye Family, I thank the Lord Defender!"

"You are too polite, sir." Shen Changqing made a gesture with his hands as if lifting something, and a force stopped the other party from bowing further.

Seeing this, Gongye Heng straightened up smoothly, his gaze falling upon the long saber at his waist. "I do not know much about the rumors of Dao Arms, but I've heard that Dao Arms are Divine Weapons that can continue to grow. If the Lord Defender has the opportunity in the future, you might consider entering the Ancient Ruins. Inside, there might be a method to specifically enhance Dao Arms. As for seeking materials to reforge them, I'm afraid that road is quite difficult." He had managed to forge the Holy Slaying Saber only by a sheer stroke of luck. Reforging Dao Arms was simply impossible.

Now that Shen Changqing was willing to take Gongye Yue under his wing, Gongye Heng naturally added a few more words of reminder.

Shen Changqing nodded. "I understand this matter. If there is nothing else, I shall take you back now, sir."

"I appreciate the Lord Defender's efforts."

「Back in the Demon-Subduing Division of Mountain-Breaking City.」

Gongye Heng summoned Gongye Yue at the first opportunity.

"I pay my respects to the Lord Defender!" Upon seeing Shen Changqing, the other party bowed timely and appropriately.

Clearly, Gongye Heng had already informed him of the situation well in advance.

Shen Changqing looked at him, his expression calm. "Are you willing to accompany me to the Capital City?"

"Certainly!" Gongye Yue forcefully suppressed the joy in his heart and answered properly.

In the past, when he had met Shen Changqing, he held a sense of equality in his discourse. But now, there was none of that left. The person before him was the Great Qin Defender, the Imperial Court's designated number one person in Great Qin. Even though they seemed to be of similar age, Gongye Yue deeply understood that there was no comparability between them at all. Therefore, now facing Shen Changqing, all he had was reverence.

"Good, wait for me in Mountain-Breaking City for a while. Once I've dealt with my affairs, I will come to pick you up," Shen Changqing said, and then nodded at Gongye Heng before leaving.

It hadn't been easy to come to South Nether Prefecture this time, so he certainly wouldn't return so readily. Speaking of which, the Demon-Subduing Prison in Mountain-Breaking City had been established for several months now. With the efficiency of the Demon-Subduing Division, they should have captured quite a number of Demon Evils by now.

As expected, when Shen Changqing left the Demon-Subduing Prison, he had accrued several hundred points of Slaughter Value. It may seem like the Slaughter Value earned wasn't substantial, but in normal circumstances, gathering so much Slaughter Value wouldn't be so easy. Beyond that, his Divine Ability Value had also broken past one hundred once again.

Directives had been issued. Mountain-Breaking City was not only capturing Demon Evils, but even the Mountain Spirits hidden in various places were not spared.

Within the great hall, Shen Changqing found Ji Tianlu. "Defender Ji, has there been any word from the Capital City?"

"What is Defender Shen referring to?"

"About the capture of Demon Evils and Mountain Spirits," Shen Changqing reminded him. He had already negotiated the matter with the Imperial Court and Dongfang Zhao, but he didn't know if it had been fully implemented yet.

"You're referring to that matter," Ji Tianlu suddenly understood. "Defender Shen can rest assured on that front. The Capital City has already sent news, and other prefectures are fully engaged in building their Demon-Subduing Prisons. It won't be long before they are finished," he reported.

"That's great!" Shen Changqing smiled slightly.

Indeed, it required the Imperial Court's involvement to be effective. With each prefecture now fully committed to the construction of Demon-Subduing Prisons, once they are all completed, the supply of Demon Evils would be virtually endless. With this thought, he was thoroughly satisfied. One Demon-Subduing Prison might not contribute much Slaughter Value, but what about ten, or twenty? The cumulative Slaughter Value from all the prisons would be quite substantial.

Previously, Shen Changqing felt that with the current rate of Slaughter Value accumulation, it would take a long time to bring his Undying Divine Body to Perfection. But with the current progress, it might not be many years before he could break through to Immortal Golden Body Realm Perfection. This was the terrifying aspect of leveraging the power of an organization. It was far better than struggling alone.

After saying farewell to Ji Tianlu, Shen Changqing first visited the black market to retrieve all the Demon Evils that Yuanyang Auction House had collected for him. Immediately following, he visited South Sea City and Baiyue City. While he was at it, he also retrieved the drop of Essence Blood he had left in Baiyue City. With Great Qin currently safe, there was no need to leave Essence Blood in Baiyue City for protection. Besides, due to the strengthening of border defenses, South Nether Prefecture already had an additional branch of the Demon-Subduing Division. As that branch's Demon-Subduing Prison was not yet complete, Shen Changqing merely took a look before returning to Mountain-Breaking City.

「Less than a day later, Shen Changqing, accompanied by Gongye Yue, returned to the Capital City once more.」

Observing the bustling scene, Gongye Yue's eyes were filled with amazement. Although he was from the Gongye Family and had seen much of the world, it was nevertheless his first time in the Capital City. Compared to other places in Great Qin, the Capital City was undoubtedly more prosperous.

After looking around for a long time, Gongye Yue withdrew his gaze. It was only his first visit, and he was merely a little curious; ultimately, he wouldn't let these sights bewilder him.

Following behind Shen Changqing, they entered the inner city. Before long, the Demon-Subduing Division came into view.
