Chapter 88: I Hope You Perform Your Tasks Well.

Edited by: Mochiusagi 

With the combined strength of a group of Apprentice Slayers, a wounded Middle Stage Ghost Level monster would not be difficult to deal with, as long as the former were not careless.

“I can only do so much. I hope you perform your tasks well and do not let my two merit points go to waste.”

Walking on the street, Shen Changqing relaxed.

The Zhou Family’s ancestral residence was very large.

It was obvious that the thing possessed by the monster was not in someone, but in the Zhou Family residence itself.

As for the one who planted the monster there, it’s unlikely that they would be back in a short period of time.

According to the situation of Xu Yi and the other Apprentice Slayers, they should start around later today or tomorrow.

Therefore, Shen Changqing was not worried that the injured monster would escape or be taken away.

This was because the demons had their own hierarchy.

A lower ranked monster or demon would have to obey those at the top. Naturally, they didn’t dare to leave their assigned post without permission.

Shen Changqing did not go back to Tianyi Lou, and instead wandered around Jin City.

Although he was relaxed, he wasn’t out of it.

“If the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion is the stronghold of the Eternal Life Alliance, then the monster in the Zhou family’s ancestral residence is very likely not to be affiliated with the Eternal Life Alliance—”

“If this is the case, the demonic forces in Jin City may be divided into two groups.”

Shen Changqing looked at the bustling street and magnified his perception. He wanted to see if he could detect any Evil Aura.

At the same time, he was also thinking about the connection between the Zhou Family and the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion.

The inner workings of the demons were complicated and Shen Changqing doesn’t know much about it.

The Eternal Life Alliance was just one force created by the demons to divide the Human Race.

Although the demons had many forces, for Humans, there was no big difference among them. They were all lumped as one.

It was only the Eternal Life Alliance that the Great Qin attached great importance to.

The Eternal Life Alliance would mingle with the Human Race, making waves in secret.

There had been many civil wars in the Great Qin over the years, and this was the biggest reason for such events.

What the Great Qin and the Demon Suppression Division wanted to destroy the most, were these disguised wolves who spread conflict within the flock.

On the other end, Xu Yi and others came to the Zhou Family’s ancestral residence.

In the lobby, the Patriarch of the Zhou Family was sitting on the left, while Xu Yi was sitting on the right. Tian Feibai and the others were seated in sequence after.

“I am overjoyed that the Demon Suppression Division has decided to lend their help. This time, with Lord Xu and others taking action, there is no way for the monster to escape.” 

Patriarch Zhou smiled and raised his teacup.

“This old man will replace the wine with tea, and toast!” 

“Patriarch Zhou is being polite!”

Xu Yi also held up his tea cup with a faint smile on his face.

After taking a sip, he put down the teacup.

Xu Yi asked, “We came here this time to kill the monster and prevent the people of Jin City from being harmed. Since the monster incident started from the Zhou Family, can you tell us what happened?” 

Tian Feibai and the others also set their sights on Patriarch Zhou.

It’s not the first time they came to the Zhou Family. The last time they came, the other party happened to be away, so they came here again today.

""

The group already got the information from the Heavenly Inspection Guard, but they wanted to confirm it from the Zhou Family.

Hearing this, Patriarch Zhou pondered for a while, thinking about something.

After a long time, there was a flash of fear in his eyes, as if he had thought of something terrifying.

“Speaking of that monster, this old man doesn’t know much about it. It started half a month ago. People from the Zhou Family began to disappear, one after another every night. No matter how much we looked, we couldn’t find them.”

“Instead, we found their mummified corpses in the back garden.”

“Many servants were afraid, so they decided to strike and leave. The family was also panicked and had to move out of the ancestral house.” 

After saying a lot of things in one breath, Patriarch Zhou Zhou was out of breath.

He took a sip of tea and moistened his throat a little.

“Since then, my Zhou Family has temporarily moved out from the ancestral residence. Although there were no longer any casualties after that, the Zhou Family suffered a great amount of shame for being forced out of our own home by a monster!”

“Thus, this old man posted various announcements, in an attempt to attract many experts, to try and kill the monster.”

“It’s a pity that many of those experts have been buried in the hands of the monster.”

“If Your Excellencies want to take action against the monster, please be careful.”

In the end, Patriarch Zhou gave a reminder.

Xu Yi didn’t answer, but Tian Feibai sneered: “Patriarch Zhou might be underestimating the Demon Suppression Division. It’s just a small monster, what kind of trouble can it possibly cause?”

“We are not comparable to those so-called ‘experts’ on the outside.”

Hearing that, Patriarch Zhou couldn’t help, but show an embarrassed look.

“Lord Tian is right, this old man was overthinking it.”

At this time, Xu Yi lightly coughed. 

Tian Feibai wanted to say something, but he had to shut his mouth.

After silencing the latter, Xu Yi turned his eyes back on Patriarch Zhou.

“I heard that the Young Miss returned from the Yi Jian Sect yesterday and personally went to the Zhou Family ancestral residence last night to fight with the monster…”

“Uh–”

Mr. Zhou was startled. He didn’t expect the news of what had happened last night to reach Xu Yi and others so quickly.

However, he soon came back to his senses.

“Yes, she did go to the ancestral residence last night. Unfortunately, when she came back, she suffered serious injuries. She is currently lying in bed, recovering from her injuries. She is unable to come and pay her respects.”

“Since Miss Zhou is lying in bed and recuperating, we naturally have no reason to force her. Instead, we will go to where Miss Zhou is.”

Xu Yi then stood up, intending to move immediately.

Seeing this, Patriarch Zhou had no choice, but to nod: “Your Excellencies, this old man will take you there.”

“Thank you.”

Xu Yi nodded.

The group then walked towards a wing of the Zhou Family mansion, under the leadership of Patriarch Zhou.

As soon as they walked to the wing, they could hear coughing from time to time.

Hearing the coughing, Patriarch Zhou’s pace also sped up a bit.

Pushing open the door, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted into the group’s noses.

Behind a screen was a vague figure lying down.

“Qin’er, are you alright?” 

""

Patriarch Zhou walked behind the screen and asked with concern.

Zhou Qin, who was lying on the bed, shook her head slightly. Her pretty face had now turned pale, as if there was no blood.

“Father, are there guests?”

Although she was injured and her strength was greatly reduced, she could still hear the footsteps just now.

Patriarch Zhou slightly nodded, and then said something in Zhou Qin’s ear.

After seeing Zhou Qin nodding in agreement, he walked out from behind the screen, looking at Xu Yi and the others.

“Your Excellencies, feel free to ask your questions.”

“En.”

Xu Yi and the others looked at each other, crossing the screen, only to see Zhou Qin lying on the bed.

They were shocked and their eyes softened.

Zhou Qin’s face was pale and bloodless. Her pretty face could arouse one’s pity.

But soon, they frowned.

They could clearly feel that there was a sinister aura on Zhou Qin’s body that did not dissipate.

It was also because of this Evil Aura that the other side became so weak.

“Miss Zhou fought with that monster and was injured?”

Xu Yi asked in a deep voice.

Zhou Qin nodded. She replied in a weak voice: “I underestimated the power of the monster. I didn’t expect it to be so powerful. if I hadn’t retreated quickly, I would have been stuck there.”

“Currently, Evil Aura has invaded my body and I could only wait for a solution.”

“It would take an expert’s True Qi to expel the Evil Aura. Otherwise, it would be difficult to completely cure it. To be able to do this, one must at least be at the Innate Realm. I heard that Miss Zhou is from the Yi Jian Sect, so there should be no shortage of Innate Realm experts there.”

“I have already sent someone to inform the Sect, and it won’t be long before someone arrives.”

Zhou Qin said weakly, and then continued.

“I know that Your Excellencies came here to learn about the monster, but I also don’t know much. I only had one face-to-face encounter with it. The information that I can give may not satisfy you.”

Xu Yi laughed, saying: “It doesn’t matter, Miss Zhou can tell us everything she can say.”

“Alright.”

Zhou Qin nodded, and then went into detail about what happened last night.

By the time she finished, the expressions of Xu Yi and the others were solemn.

From Zhou Qin’s words, combined with the information given by the Heavenly Inspection Guard, it could be seen that the monster’s strength was not weak. It had reached the Middle Stage of the Qi Circulation Realm.

Even Zhou Win was severely injured and had to flee.

With this, the threat level of the monster increased by a notch.

However, Xu Yi’s expression quickly returned to normal.

“Thank you Miss Zhou for clarifying our doubts. I now have a general understanding of the monster. It will not be long before it will be eliminated. By then, Jin City would no longer need to live in fear.”

“Since Miss Zhou is ill, we will not disturb you any longer and take our leave.”

He then cupped his hands towards Patriarch Zhou. 

Immediately afterwards, he took Tian Feibai and the others away.

“This old man will see Your Excellencies off!”

Seeing this, Patriarch Zhou hurriedly followed and the room returned to silence.
