Human Clan Defender-Chapter 604 - s 5 to 8: Blade Path Powerhouse, Myriad Tribulations True Body (4-in-1, Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

However, the very fact that something could be described with the word 'divine' already spoke volumes.

"If Defender Shen's words are correct, then the Demon God's strength is simply too terrifying. Should a Demon God truly descend, and even if we combine all the forces of our Human Clan, I fear we would still be unable to withstand it," Zhou Yuanzheng's face was filled with concern. Although he was extremely confident in his own strength, the thought of facing a being of that level made a sense of powerlessness involuntarily rise in his heart. The gap is too vast. There's simply no possibility of contending.

Shen Changqing took a deep breath. "Although the Demon God can strike from afar, there must be certain limitations. Otherwise, he would have arrived by now, or he wouldn't have stopped after just one attack earlier. Right now, we can only adapt to the situation and focus on steadily improving our own strength before anything else."

"That's the only option," Dongfang Zhao nodded. At this point, adapting to the situation was really all that could be done.

At that moment, Shen Changqing looked at the other, his gaze shifting. "Defender Dongfang, there is something I would like to discuss with you."

"Please speak."

"I wish to take all the Demon Evil imprisoned in the Demon Sealing Tower and the Demon-Subduing Prison," Shen Changqing got straight to the point. If he were to exchange them for Merit Points, it would be too troublesome. Previously, when slaying the Ghost Saint, that surging Yin Evil Aura had burst the Pure Spirit Jade Pendant on the spot. As a result, the previously stored Yin Evil Aura had dissipated into nothingness. To talk of exchanging for Merit Points was out of the question. Besides, even a single Demon Saint could not offer many Merit Points. Instead of going through such trouble, it was better to ask directly.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Zhao fell silent. He did not immediately refuse, nor did he agree at once, but seriously pondered the request.

Shen Changqing said, "You once asked me if I could become invincible in the world and protect the peace of all under heaven. If I could, then I could take all the Demon Evil."

Hearing these words, both of them were taken aback. Just then, a confident smile appeared on Shen Changqing's face. "I couldn't give you an answer before, but now I can give you a definite reply. I have indeed become invincible in the world, protecting the peace of all under heaven. With my current strength, there is no one in the Human Clan who can stand against me. The Demon Evil Clan within the world is no longer my match. Although there are powerful Demon Evil beings lurking beyond our world, given time, I will surely reach a state where I fear nothing. Is Defender Dongfang satisfied with this answer?"

Confidence! Pride! Dongfang Zhao's gaze was fixed on the other, and after a long while, a look of emotion and a smile appeared on his face. "You are indeed unmatched in the Human Clan as of now. Well then, the position of Defender Envoy has always been an unorthodox path, and those Demon Evils kept in the Demon-Subduing Division have no significant use besides research for the Hidden Heart Pavilion. Given the circumstances, I will give them all to you!"

Although the Hidden Heart Pavilion required research on Demon Evil, it was not absolutely necessary to study them. In truth, the study of Demon Evil was merely to find ways to counter them. Now that Shen Changqing had grown to such an extent, the Human Clan had found a direction for advancement, so the Hidden Heart Pavilion's research on the Demon Evil Clan could be somewhat relaxed.

As for the rules of the Demon-Subduing Division... To be honest, rules are a constraint for the weak. Being the Dominator of the Demon-Subduing Division really means being the one who creates the rules. If rules can be created, they can also be broken. Dongfang Zhao believed that no one would dare to object. The strong are revered. This isn't just an empty saying.

Zhou Yuanzheng did not speak. He looked at Shen Changqing, finding it hard to reconcile the man before him with the minor Demon Hunter of the past.

"Then I must thank Defender Dongfang!" Shen Changqing clasped his fist. His foul mood from the unexpected attack had now considerably eased. Being able to obtain a wave of Demon Evils for nothing saved him a lot of effort.

"Additionally, there's another matter I would like to discuss properly with Defender Dongfang."

"If Defender Shen has something to say, feel free to lay it all out at once." Dongfang Zhao's eyebrows twitched slightly, sensing that there was more yet to come.

Shen Changqing smiled faintly. "Defender Dongfang must be aware that Martial Artists can obtain Spiritual Power by slaying Demon Evils. I have now established several Demon-Subduing Prisons in South Nether Prefecture, with the aim of having people from the Demon-Subduing Division assist in capturing Demon Evils. But as you know, every mission released involves the expenditure of many Merit Points. My power alone is ultimately limited, so I would hope Defender Dongfang could offer some assistance in this matter."

Dongfang Zhao's expression changed slightly. The moment Shen Changqing spoke, Dongfang Zhao knew this was not just a matter of obtaining some Demon Evil; it could even lead to a complete change in the existing structure of the Demon-Subduing Division. Zhou Yuanzheng, standing to the side, also grasped the implications, and his expression shifted.

"You wish for the Demon-Subduing Division to commit all its forces to capture Demon Evil for you, to enhance your strength. Such an action would inevitably bring certain changes to the structure of the Demon-Subduing Division. Besides, it would also require the support of the Imperial Family. Otherwise, relying solely on the current foundation of the Demon-Subduing Division, it cannot be sustained for very long." Dongfang Zhao's brows were deeply furrowed, seemingly troubled.

At present, the Demon-Subduing Division did not serve an individual, but all the people in the world, which was why it recruited various Demon Hunters to eradicate Demon Evil throughout the land. Furthermore, the Demon-Subduing Division was also a powerful institution of Great Qin. When necessary, it acted as an essential trump card. Whether combating Demon Evil or confronting the forces of other nations, the Demon-Subduing Division was particularly important.
