It is completely different from the poor and remote countryside outside the city.
"This is the Jin City spoken of in rumors!"
A young man in a green shirt looked at the city before him, his face involuntarily becoming solemn.
Jincheng!
But almost everyone in the martial arts world and the imperial court had heard of this name.
Now, the Great Qin Empire sweeps across the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies. All sorts of demons and evils in the world have been eradicated. Even if demons occasionally give birth, they will be immediately killed by strong warriors dispatched by the Great Qin.

Until now.
In the world, demons are basically no longer present.
Even natural disasters were almost completely wiped out.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Today, there are only two places in the world where true natural disasters exist.
The first is the Zhou Dynasty, and the second is here.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Take a deep breath.
The young man looked at Jin City and shouted loudly: “I, Jiang Zuo, am the envoy of the Great Qin Demon Suppression Division. I come to Jin City by order of the Emperor, hoping to meet the Lord of Jin City!”
The voice was powerful.
...has already spread throughout the entire city of Jin.
As his voice echoed, the clamor within Jincheng abruptly ceased, as if it had instantaneously transformed into a silent city.

Outside the city.
Jiang Zuo's face turned stern.
Although he never truly set foot in Jin City, he wasn't considered to have entered the disaster zone.
But—
The natural disasters in Jin City are no longer comparable to ordinary ones.
Even being outside the disaster zone doesn't necessarily mean you are 100% safe.
Time passes little by little.
It seems like it's been a long time, yet also just a fleeting moment.
Suddenly.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
A middle-aged man walked out from inside, looking towards Jiang Zuo and bowing respectfully: "It turns out to be the envoy of the Qin Dynasty. My lord mayor has ordered me to invite you in for a chat!"
"Thank you!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Jiang Zuo hesitated for a moment, but still took a step forward and walked towards the middle-aged man.
He has been ordered to come here.
If they are scared away before even entering the city, then the Demon Suppression Office's face will be utterly lost.
Coming closer.
Jiang Zuo looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. With his current strength, he could sense that the other party was not a real person, or perhaps not a truly human being.
Soul!
A thought popped into his head.
In the domain of natural disasters.
There isn't a single living person.
What is called a living person is actually just the soul of the common people who were once controlled by the calamities of heaven.
>However, today's calamity has released it, and with the nourishment of domain power, ordinary people's souls gradually transform into divine souls, possessing extraordinary abilities.

"May I ask who you are"
“I am a humble clerk by the City Lord’s side, you may call me Hong Hou!”
The middle-aged man smiled and bowed.
Oh, Lord Marquis!
>
Hearing this name, Jiang Zuo's expression changed slightly.
"Master Hong Hou, the Iron Fist Master of the Tiequan Sect three hundred years ago!"
"Iron Fist Master—"
Lord Hong looked with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, then shook his head.
Please note that the original input contained only ">". Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“I haven't heard that name in a long time.”
“Indeed, he is Hong Master!”
Jian Zuo's expression changed slightly, and then he bowed solemnly.
Iron Fist Master Hung Hou!
A master of the Guangyuan Mansion, a peak expert three hundred years ago. No, according to today's standards,
It should be considered at the grandmaster level.
As for my understanding of Hong Hou,
He had seen it in the Demon Suppression Bureau's files before.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The other party became famous three hundred years ago.
More than two hundred years ago, demons and monsters wreaked havoc in Guangyuan Prefecture.
This master once protected a city's people, slaying demonic invaders, and finally died from exhaustion.
Let me know if you have other text to translate!
The same.
After the death of Houhong,
All the city's inhabitants were slaughtered by demons, with only a few managing to escape.
That is why.

The name of the master of Iron Fist, Hung Hou,

...Just what Jiangzuo didn't expect was,
This powerhouse from three hundred years ago would actually appear in Jincheng
On second thought.
But there was also a sense of relief in his heart.
Although these things are somewhat unbelievable,
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
But the existence of natural disasters is itself extraordinary.
Then.
Here is your translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Jiang Zuo followed closely behind Hong Hou, heading towards the city.
>
The moment I stepped into the city,
A shiver ran down his spine instinctively,
It was as if some terrible eye were watching us from the darkness.
... staring at himself as if he were someone else.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But in terms of his actual ability,
...but he couldn't find the source of those eyes at all.
Very soon.
That gaze disappeared.
Jiang Zuo's tense heart instantly relaxed, and his back was unknowingly soaked in cold sweat.
>
"What's wrong with your emissary"
The voice of the Duke sounded in his ear,
Jiang Zuo came back to his senses and shook his head involuntarily: "It's nothing, let's go."
This is a continuation of the previous sentence.
"Good,"

"Come with me."
Hong Hou didn't ask too much and directly led the way ahead.
Jiangzuo followed behind the other person.
At the same time, he silently observed everything in Jincheng.
The streets were bustling with people coming and going, peddlers hawking their wares.
extremely lively.
If he were not familiar with the history of Jin City, he would have thought that the city before him
This is the county town of a certain prefecture within the territory of the Great Qin.
After all.
Even among the various mansions of the Qin Empire, possessing a city of this scale is extremely rare.
But the more so, Jiang Zuo's heart was even more shocked.
He was no longer the small, fledgling exorcist he once was. Over the many years he had spent traveling the world, he had come across many opportunities and gained much experience.
That can be said.
Although he wasn't among the top tier of powerhouses in the world, Jiang Zuo was confident,
>
There aren't many who can surpass him.
Even so.
With his own abilities, he couldn't see through Jin City at all.
The terrible nature of this disaster area is evident.
After following Hong Hou for a long time,
A temple of considerable size appeared before Jiang Zuo's eyes.
Before the palace.
The guards are heavily armed.
>
Upon seeing the guards at the gate, his face changed color once again.
Extreme conditions!
Every guard's feeling towards Jiang Zuo was as if they were comparable to peak-level experts.
He had no doubts about his own perception.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It was precisely because there were no suspicions that Jiang Zuo felt doubly shocked.
Even peak-level warriors, who would be considered top-tier powerhouses in the Qin Dynasty, are just guards protecting this very hall within Jin City.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
It's hard to imagine.
How many guards of this caliber are still left in Jincheng
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Overcome with shock, he followed Hong Hou into the palace.
In the center of the main hall.
A scholar in white, holding a book, was engrossed in reading. He didn't even glance up when the two people entered.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Hong Hou bowed deeply and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the esteemed envoy of Qin, Jiang Zuǒ, has arrived."
Upon hearing this.
The scholar in white had just put down the book in his hand, and his calm eyes looked down at the two people below.
Upon seeing this.
Jiang Zuo bowed respectfully at the right time: "Jiang Zuo, from the Great Qin Demon Suppression Division, greets Lord Mo, the city master!"
Mo Zijin!
The Lord of Jin City!
As one of the two celestial disasters in the world today, its strength is unfathomable. According to the Demon Suppression Division's speculation, the other party's strength may very well have reached the realm of gods mentioned in legends.
Relevant information flooded his mind.
Before coming to Jin City, Jiang Zu had done some in-depth research on the city's lord.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
“I didn't expect Qin to send a master of your caliber this time. If I'm not mistaken, you should be at the Heavenly Human realm in martial arts!”
Mo Zi-jin smiled gently.
But his calm gaze seemed as if it could see right through the other person.
Hearing this, Jiang Zuo's heart skipped a beat, but he wasn't overly shocked.
"The city lord has keen eyesight."
"Judging by your bone age, you're not too old. In the Qin Dynasty, there are probably only a handful of people who could reach such a level at your age. However, compared to Brother Shen, you're still lacking."
Mo Zijin smiled faintly.
As for the "Elder Shen" he mentioned, Jiangzuo naturally understood who he was referring to.
"Shen Zhenshou is the strongest person in our Great Qin. He is the Grand Marshal of Qin appointed by the Emperor himself. His strength and talent are unparalleled in the world, something ordinary people cannot even dream of."
“You are right. Even after ten thousand years, it may not be possible to find someone as powerful as Senior Shen.”
Mo Zijin nodded in deep agreement.
In the Great Qin, there were many strong individuals, but very few who truly caught his eye. Dongfang Zhao could only be considered a half-decent one at best.
Gu Xuanji could be considered half a match, but unfortunately, the other party has already perished.
Shen Changqing was the only person in the Great Qin Dynasty who was worthy of his attention.
Perhaps because Jiang Zu originated from the Demon Suppression Division, Mo Zi Jin's attitude was much milder: "This time, Da Qin sent you here for a reason. Tell me your purpose!"
"The Emperor speculates that the demon clan's attack may come sooner than expected. With our current strength, if the demon clan launches a full-scale offensive, it will be a war with no retreat."
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
Therefore, the Great Qin hopes that Lord Mo also prepares mentally and accumulates strength to cope with the upcoming changes.
The moment these words left his mouth.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The temperature inside the hall suddenly dropped a lot.
Mo Zi Jin's smile receded, and a subtle change appeared in his eyes: "The demonic clan's attack was advanced. Is there any proof"
“There is no proof,” Jiang Zu shook his head. “But the barbarian gods and our Great Qin Emperor, both from sensing changes in Qi Yun, believe that the change in Qi Yun must be related to the demon clan.”
Barbarian God!
Emperor of the Great Qin!
Upon hearing this, Mo Zijin's smile vanished from his face.
As for his understanding of feng shui, he's not very familiar with it.
But since both the barbarians and the Qin Dynasty agree, the truth of the matter is probably quite close.
For a while.
Mo Zi-jin's face was as calm as still water. "Tell the First Emperor that Jin City is fully prepared. Should any demons dare to set foot in this land, I will ensure they never return!"
"Good, Lord Mo's words, I will surely deliver!"
At last, a relieved smile appeared on Jiang Zuo's face. If the other party had refused, he wouldn't have known how to speak.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Fortunately.
He is indeed as the Zhenmo Division understood.
Although he held some resentment towards the Qin Dynasty, his stance always remained on the side of humankind.
In fact, that's exactly the case.
The fact that he only addresses Gu Xing as "Emperor Qin" and refuses to call him "Emperor of Humanity" shows that he clearly disapproves of what Daqin represents for the entire human race.
However.
These things are all trivial matters in Jiangzuo's eyes.
As long as this person is willing to help, that's enough.
"If there is nothing else, I will not disturb Lord Mo any further. Farewell!"
"Wait a moment."
"Master Mo, do you have anything else to say"
"Does the Demon Suppression Division have any news about Brother Shen now"
Mo Ziqin asked in a low voice.
Shen Changqing's departure from Heaven and Earth to seek a way out, he was also clear about it.
Before the other party left, Xiaochushan came back one more time and informed him of some things about the aftermath of the disaster.
That is precisely why.
Only oneself can grow so rapidly in a short period of time.
Jiang Zuo said: "Although there has been no news from Shen Zhenzhun so far, one thing is certain: Shen Zhenzhun has not perished."
When Mo Zijin inquired about this matter, he did not conceal anything.
At the beginning.
The Qin Dynasty concealed the news of Shen Changqing's departure very well, fearing that it would cause unrest if it were revealed.
But then later.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Wuyuan was stable, and powerful figures within the Qin Dynasty emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. After Dongfang Zhao's promotion to the position of Divine Rank Marshal, further solidifying the Qin Dynasty's position, news of Shen Changqing's departure was not deliberately concealed.
After all, the other party hasn't appeared for ten or twenty years, it's inevitable that it will cause some speculation among those with ulterior motives.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Under the premise that Qin had complete control over the situation, leaking the news would not have a major impact.
Hearing that Shen Changqing had no news, Mo Zhin also lost the intention to ask again.
After that, Jiang Zuo bid farewell and left.
> On the other side.
However, the imperial decree from the East was personally delivered to the state of Zhou.
After becoming a divine guard, he had a certain mastery over space. Even though the Qin state was far away from Zhou, it didn't take him much time to arrive.
It's only when one steps out of the Meteor Saint Pass and into the territory of the Great Zhou that...
A strange feeling arose in Dongfang Zhao's heart.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This feeling made him feel a bit uncomfortable all over. The surrounding space seemed to emanate a sense of rejection, as if he were an unwelcome outsider.
Force down the discomfort welling up inside.
>
Dongfang Zhao's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to advance into the territory of Great Zhou.
Of the two greatest natural disasters in the world, the Great Zhou Heavenly Calamity of the Shepherd God is arguably the most destructive to humanity.
When the other party was alive, in order to secure their own chance at immortality, they were willing to sacrifice tens of millions of people from the Zhou Dynasty.
Now, to be resurrected is not an easy feat.
So.
Under normal circumstances, the Demon Suppression Office would not send anyone here, after all, one slip could lead to a one-way trip.
Ordinarily, even if it were Dongfang Zhao himself, he wouldn't bother to set foot here.
It is not fear.
It's just disgust.
But this time is different.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If the demon clan were to really launch a full-scale attack, if Mo Shen Tong could take action, it would ease some of the pressure on Qin.
In this situation, the Qin dynasty must send someone to negotiate.
However.
The God of Shepherds is capricious and unpredictable, becoming even more tyrannical after becoming a natural disaster. Ordinary people entering here don't dare to speak, let alone negotiate; whether they can live to leave is a question.
Given this, it was only natural that the Eastern Emperor would come in person.
Beneath one's feet, distances shrink to mere inches. With each step taken, one can instantly appear miles away.
In a short while, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty appeared before his eyes.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The brownish-black city walls, like the color left after blood had dried, once a prosperous capital of the Zhou Dynasty, now remained a desolate silence akin to death.
Standing before the capital.
The Eastern Mandate seemed to see not a city, but a fearsome beast sprawling there.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Such a feeling.
Unlike other natural disasters.
“It seems that there are some changes in Dazhou’s Zhen Mosis that nobody knows about!”
His eyes narrowed.
Just then.
The tightly shut city gate suddenly opened, and a low, cold voice came from within.
Since you're here, why not come in and sit for a while
“The Zhou Emperor invited me, how could I refuse.”
Donghuang Zhao smiled slightly and strode towards the city.
Even if it were a real man-eating monster, it would still have to lie down obediently in front of him.
This is not arrogance, but absolute confidence in one's own abilities.
After entering the city.
There was no sign of any people, and the entire city exuded an atmosphere of death and decay from within to without.
Logically speaking.
The existence of natural disasters is as it should be.
But Dongfang clearly knew that no natural disaster region would ever look like this. After all, natural disasters were formed from the confluence of resentments. Wherever a natural disaster occurred, an endless stream of resentment would emanate from it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Once those grudges are released, they will manifest as images from before birth.
Though to some extent, such images are merely illusory, even in their illusion, they wouldn't be as lifeless as what lies before us.
That's all.
>
He was becoming more and more convinced that there must have been some unknown incident in the Great Zhou.
Less than a moment.
Dongfang Zhao had already stepped into the Imperial City within the capital, and went straight to the Treasure Hall, where he saw Mu Shen Tong wearing a black robe.
Compared to the former King Zhou, Mu Shen Tong now emanated an eerie chill from head to toe. His black and white eyes held a faint crimson hidden deep within, like a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows, sending shivers down one's spine.
"It's been a long time since we last met, hasn't it"
Seeing the arrival, the shepherd spoke softly.
His voice was particularly hoarse and cold, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.
When the Eastern Emperor heard this, he calmly said, “It is true that we haven’t seen each other in a long time. I never expected the Zhou Emperor to be like this now.”
“Hmph, your position doesn't allow you to understand. Let me be clear, since I became the King of Zhou, this moment is the best!”
The corners of Mushen's mouth curled up into a cold, sinister smile.
In the course of conversation.
He looked up and down at the people below him.
That kind of gaze was as if he were eyeing up his food.
"Could Emperor Zhou perhaps be planning to attack this seat"
The Eastern Emperor's expression was cold and emotionless. As he took a step forward, a terrifying aura filled the vast hall.
As he felt the pressure, a hint of grimness flickered in the crimson depths of Mu Shen Tong's eyes.
Next.
He shook his head: "It seems that in these years apart, your skills have grown considerably. This Emperor almost underestimated you."
That being said.
But the god-like being didn't truly feel fear.
Although surprised by the aura emanating from Dongfang Zhao now, he still maintained an air of complete control.
"Speak up, what brings you to my domain Give me a satisfactory answer, or for trespassing in my territory, you will face the consequences."
As soon as the voice fell silent.
A bloody storm suddenly arose within the main hall, accompanied by horrifying wails of vengeful spirits, creating a scene like that of hell itself.
Both of them didn't make a move.
But just the collision of their auras unleashed a terrifying wave.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
Boom!!
Space twisted and vibrated, annihilating inch by inch.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
At the eye of the storm, Dongfang Zhao remained composed, as if nothing before him held any significance.
“This seat is here to tell you something. The invasion of the demonic clan will come sooner than expected. Emperor Zhou needs to be prepared in advance.”
"The demonic clan's attack has been advanced!"
Zhou Huang's eyes flickered.
That bloody whirlwind vanished in an instant.
"Impossible. According to my understanding, the seal on the celestial passage should still be able to hold for a while longer. There shouldn't be any problems for several years in the future."
He now understands the Heavenly and Earthly Passages quite a bit.
>
The Eastern Emperor said, "Both the barbarian deities and our great Qin Emperor felt a shift in the celestial energy. Even with our current power suppression, we cannot rule out that the demonic clan may have other plans up their sleeve."
According to the current situation, there shouldn't be any major problems with the demonic tribe's attack being ahead of schedule.
Silence!
A deathly silence.
After a long silence, the Divine Shepherd finally spoke in a cold voice: “How much in advance are you talking about”
"It could be tomorrow, or it could be a month or two. No one can say for sure. I'm here to prepare the Zhou Emperor, so he isn't caught off guard by the demon clan."
“I understand.”
"In that case, this seat will take its leave first."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Orient's emperor nodded in agreement, finished speaking and then turned to leave.
Not a bit of it.
Looking at his departing figure, Mukushin's eyes were cold and venomous like a snake. A deep crimson surged within them, seeming to both yearn and fear.
When Dong Fang Zhao completely left the capital's jurisdiction, a look of regret appeared on his face.
"It's a pity, now is not the time to turn against Da Qin. If I could swallow it up, I might be able to make another breakthrough!"
Thinking of the power contained within the Eastern Mandate's body.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The divine shepherd was becoming increasingly enamored by her.
>
He craved to devour souls, especially those of the strong.
The stronger the devourers, the stronger one's own power becomes.
But unfortunately.
Now, the territory of Great Zhou is deserted. In a year, it's questionable if even ten living people would dare to set foot here.
Over a long time without any living beings stepping foot, the Divine Shepherd became extremely eager for blood food.
Here is the translation:
If he hadn't been intimidated by the might of Qin, he would have long since found a way to plunder souls and blood essence.
This time.
>
The Eastern Mandate appeared directly in front of him, giving him the impulse to strike immediately.
But—
After feeling the opponent's strength, Mushi decided to give up attacking.
There's nothing else.
If he were to make a move, he wouldn't be 100% certain of being able to hold the other party back.
The head of the Great Qin Demon Suppression Division, in just a dozen or so years, his growth rate was also particularly terrifying.
"Demon Clan!"
The killing intent in Mùshén's eyes burst forth, and a crimson whirlwind surged again within the palace halls.
If he harbors hatred for the Qin Dynasty, then his anger towards the demonic clan is boundless.
The Ghost Saint will never forget the things he deceived himself about.
Though the Ghost Saint has already fallen, the demon clan still exists. Therefore, this grudge will fall upon the demon clan.
"Some things, it seems, are coming to a reckoning!"
A cold voice echoed within the grand hall, then fell silent.
> On the other side.
The Eastern Emperor has completely left the borders of Dazhou.
Just now, when I saw Mu Shen Tong's appearance, his face looked a little serious.
"Mu Shen Tong is somewhat unusual. Compared to Mo Zi Jin, his threat level is much higher. If he is allowed to grow, he will likely pose a great problem for the human race in the future."
