Chapter 89: Fire Engulfs the Zhou Family Ancestral Home

ople were pale, and under Shen Changqing's gaze, they retreated in embarrassment.Unlike Hong Cheng and the other constables who only threatened verbally, this man was truly capable of killing.Although...came out of Zhou's house.

Xu Yi and a few others temporarily found a wine shop to sit down and discuss countermeasures.

"Zhou Qin is very strong, she was injured by that demon. If we want to deal with that demon, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

Xiao Wen's face wore a look of sadness.

She had great confidence in herself and her companions' ability to slay demons.

But now, confidence has dwindled considerably.

After all, they had received Zhou Qin's information directly from Tianchawei and understood that the other party was a master of the mid-pulse stage.

Here's the translation, keeping the HTML tags as they are:

They joined forces.

It may not be much stronger than a single late-stage master.

Upon hearing this.

Jiang Yù's face wasn't looking too good either, a trace of worry on her pretty face: "If we can't deal with that demon, this mission will be considered a failure—"

If it's just a normal task failure, that's fine.

If the task is a failure, the Demon Suppression Division will not give them a chance to rest, and will definitely arrange other tasks.

At that time.

Perhaps the task difficulty will increase.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

If a mission fails twice or three times in a row, the punishment from the Demon Suppression Office will come.

You know.

The Demon Suppression Division never keeps idle people.

An apprentice exorcist's probationary tasks, failing once or twice is fine, but if they keep on failing, the consequences for them and everyone else will be dire.

Just as a few people were looking dejected.

Xu Yi, on the other hand, had a faint smile on his face and not the slightest bit of nervousness.

“The demonic entities at the Zhou family ancestral home are indeed powerful, but we may not be without a chance of victory.”

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

"What does Brother Xu mean by that"

A puzzled expression appeared on Jiang Yu's face.

The other two also turned their gazes to Xu Yi.

Upon seeing this.

Xu Yi said calmly: "Zhou Qin went deep into the ancestral home of the Zhou family last night and met with the demon. This proves that the demon has always existed inside the ancestral home of the Zhou family."

In other words, that demon may have been unable to leave the Zhou family ancestral home for some reason.

Hearing this, Tian Fei's brow furrowed immediately.

Although that demonic entity has always existed within the Zhou family ancestral home, doesn't that mean it can't possibly leave the Zhou family ancestral home

"Brother Tian, you should know that demons and monsters feed on our human race. I don't know why it would appear in the Zhou family ancestral home, but since it has appeared, its purpose must be to absorb the life essence of living people.

This can be seen from the fact that many people died in Zhou's family.

But right now, all the Zhou family members have moved out of the ancestral home. There isn't a single living person there anymore. Even so, the demons still linger around.

>

Therefore, I have reason to believe that the demon is unable to leave the Zhou family ancestral home, or it is still coveting something within the Zhou family ancestral home, which is why it remains lingering.

Xu Yi said up to this point.

He hesitated for a moment, then continued.

No matter the reason, demons exist within the Zhou family ancestral home without a doubt. A Level 7 Specter must rely on objects to exist. If its host object is destroyed, its power will inevitably be weakened.

At that time, when we deal with it, the difficulty will be much lower.

Speaking of which.

Then Fei Bai understood Xu Yi's thoughts.

Just—

“The Zhou family ancestral home is so large, finding where a demon might have possessed someone wouldn't be easy.”

“Although the Zhou family ancestral home is large, it's not impossible to find where the demons are hiding. It all depends on how we approach this.”

Xu Yi smiled faintly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"As the saying goes, water and fire are merciless. A great fire can turn everything to ashes."

"You want to burn down the Zhou family ancestral home!"

Xiao Wen was greatly surprised.

The Zhou family ancestral home is the Zhou family's property, even now that it's haunted by demons, Old Master Zhou refuses to give up on it.

If a fire burned down the Zhou family's ancestral home, the other party might not necessarily be willing.

Xu Yi said, "The only way to deal with this situation is to burn down the Zhou family's ancestral home. That will force the demon to appear. Remember, killing that demon is the most important thing."

Otherwise, by the time the demons leave the Zhou family ancestral home, who knows how many more people will die.

“About this matter, should we discuss it with the Zhou family” Tian Fei hesitated with a pale face.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

"No."

Xu Yi shook his head.

“When the Demon Suppression Division is doing its work, there's no need to consult with local noble families. Anyone who dares to obstruct the Demon Suppression Division from eradicating demons will be treated as betraying humanity and held equally accountable.”

No matter how bold Zhou Jia was, he absolutely wouldn't dare to say anything.

Xu Yi knew very well how much power the Demon Suppression Division held in the Qin Dynasty.

Don't talk about a Zhou family in Jin City.

Even the prominent families within the capital city would not dare to obstruct the steps of the Demon Suppression Division.

That can be said.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

The Demon Suppression Division is heaven in the Qin Dynasty.

Apart from the current emperor, even members of the royal family are not qualified to meddle in the affairs of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

This—

That's the strength of the Demonic Suppression Office.

Tian Fei Bai and others were new to the Jianghu, and they didn't understand the true power of Zhen Mo Si. However, Xu Yi was very clear about it.

Others were all startled.

They had all just joined the Demon Suppression Division not long ago and were, at this moment, experiencing their first time leaving it. They didn't quite understand what the Demon Suppression Division represented in the Qin Dynasty.

But thinking back now.

After leaving the Demon Suppression Department, every place they went to and everyone they met treated them politely.

> Combining what Xu Yi said, it seems to make sense.

"When is Brother Xu planning to make a move"

Then Fei Bai asked a question.

Xu Yi said, "The sooner the better, lest dreams multiply as night lengthens. Now, under the scorching sun, while it has no effect on demons and evil spirits, it brings us great visual convenience."

Since the Zhou family ancestral home has been plagued by demons, the surrounding villagers are terrified and dare not approach it.

If the ancestral home of the Zhou family were to catch fire, there wouldn't be any need to worry about it spreading to others.

Tian Fei nodded in agreement.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In Tiancewei, they had already learned about the Zhou family ancestral home beforehand.

"But—" Xu Yichen pondered for a moment: "Burning down the Zhou family ancestral home will certainly cause some commotion. I suggest we go to the government office first and borrow some yamen guards to maintain order, so as to prevent others from interfering."

"Great!"

Several people discussed and decided to rush to the yamen.

Shen Changqing was wandering around Jin City. Besides Wanhu Building and Zhou's ancestral home, he didn't feel any sinister aura in other places.

Therefore, it can be seen.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Demons only exist in those two places.

"Um"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed ahead. A considerable number of yamen officers were walking towards him.

Amidst the constables.

It turned out to be Xu Yi and several others.

To avoid getting in the way, he stepped aside and stood with the other commoners, watching as the yamen servants passed by.

Took a quick glance.

Shen Changqing had figured out the number of yamen servants in front of him.

What was curious to him was that Xu Yi and the others didn't try to eliminate the demons, but instead mixed around with the government officials. They couldn't be using the government's power to eradicate the demons, could they

I thought about that possibility.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Shen Changqing shook his head again secretly.

>

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

“Although the strength of the yamen in Jin City is much stronger than that in Lin'an City, there are hundreds of yamen officers. However, most of them are just ordinary people, and only a few can barely enter the forging body realm.”

Even if there were many such warriors, they wouldn't be able to make much of a difference.

The yamen could only maintain the normal order of a city. Demons and evildoers were clearly beyond the jurisdiction of the yamen.

All things considered.

A person of real skill wouldn't even bother entering the government offices, and would instead peacefully live as a low-ranking clerk or head catcher.

Let's not talk about things far away.

> As a martial artist with some standing in the Jianghu, he was known throughout the region.

Compared to becoming a jailer in the yamen, a Tongmai warrior can receive much better treatment.

This way.

This means that it is very unlikely for there to be any masters in the government office.

Once a place is inhabited by demons, it completely surpasses the control of the yamen and requires assistance from the Demon Suppression Division.

Therefore, relying on government power to deal with demons is simply unrealistic.

There was confusion in my heart.

Yet Shen Changqing did not linger, quietly following behind the throng of yamen servants.

Not long after.

He stopped walking.

"Zhou's ancestral home"

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

Shen Changqing raised an eyebrow, then leaped onto the roof in one bound.

That spot provided a clear view of the entire area below, but because of the building's obstruction, people down there couldn't see anyone up there at all.

Now.

He looked down from a high place at the scene below.

Then he saw a group of government officers scatter and drive away the commoners who had trespassed into the vicinity of Zhou's ancestral home.

Next.

Then, other officers brought kerosene and firewood, piling them right up around Zhou's ancestral home.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Seen this far.

Shen Changqing now understood what Xu Yi and the others truly intended.

"Burning down the Zhou family ancestral home is indeed the most convenient way to deal with demons."

He nodded silently.

For lesser demons, the most appropriate and easiest way to force them to appear is to burn them with fire.

Here is the English translation, keeping the HTML tags intact:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Instead of venturing deep into Zhou's ancestral home and confronting the unknown demons lurking within, it would be better to simply burn down the entire Zhou family estate.

By that time.

Where demons have nowhere to hide, they will naturally reveal themselves.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Make sure you cover every single spot, piling up the ancestral home of the Zhou family until it's completely surrounded. Then wait for my command before setting everything on fire at the same time.”

Xu Yi stood at the front door of the Zhou family ancestral home, issuing orders to the surrounding yamen officers.

Upon hearing this.

Those officials all set off immediately.

>

Then, he looked at the person standing beside him.

"Liu the head catcher, after lighting the fire, you lead the yamen guards to evacuate Zhou's ancestral home and do not allow other people to get close. The demonic forces are treacherous and if there are too many people, there might be unnecessary casualties."

“Rest assured, sir Xu. I know what to do.”

Liu Bu Tou clasped his fists in acceptance of the order.

About half an hour.

The outer walls of the Zhou family ancestral home were already covered with firewood and doused with gallons of kerosene.

Liu the head catcher stepped forward: “Master Xu, everything is ready.”

“Good!”

Xu Yi nodded, his eyes solemnly fixed on the Zhou family ancestral house gate plastered with talismans. With a sudden sweep of his hand...

"Fire!"

At his command.

All the guards holding torches threw them into the firewood pile.

... instantly.

A raging fire broke out.
