Shen Qing was not aware of Beitang Shifeng's order. He was a little surprised when he heard it suddenly.
The crown prince of this dynasty showed her too much respect and gave her astonishingly great authority.
The Northern Demon Slaying Division is such an amazing force. It can be said that most of the Central Dynasty’s cutting-edge combat power is within it.
"I will obey the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Faced with the imperial edict, the people from the Demon Slaying Division who came out to greet it did not show any objection and responded in unison.
The middle-aged woman holding the decree nodded slightly, turned around and handed the decree to Shen Qing:
"Your Highness is also short of manpower. The two of us are busy and need to return as soon as possible. You are free to handle all matters concerning the North."
Shen Qing did not refuse, but raised his hand to receive the decree:
"Thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for me."
She doesn't have much time left. Since Beitang Shifeng has given her such great authority, what she needs to do is to grow up as quickly as possible. There is no need to be polite and all those words are empty.
If Jiuyou does not die, everything will be empty.
"In this decree, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also left something for you, please pay attention."
Shen Qing was stunned for a moment when the middle-aged woman's voice sounded in his ears. He nodded slightly and said:
"I got it."
The two True Lords did not stay long. The chariot once again turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Shen Qing put away the decree with a flip of his hand, took a step forward, stepped into the camp of the Demon Slayer Division, and without any hesitation, directly issued the first order:
"Go, gather all the True Lords of Guiyi to discuss the matter, and bring me the situation map of the Northern Territory."
"promise."
Soon someone responded and left.

Half a day later.
In the hall made of black iron, Shen Qing sat in the main seat, and the thirteen Guiyi Zhenjun sat on both sides.
There are only these fourteen people in the hall, including the cultivators in the Shenzang realm, and none of them are qualified to enter the hall.
On the table in front of Shen Qing was a landscape painting, which was a magical weapon of high grade. It contained the universe, outlining the texture of heaven and earth in the Northern Territory, and recorded all the information about the Northern Territory that the Demon Slaying Division had.
The overall strength of the Northern Territory far exceeded Shen Qing's expectations.
Even if the North Sea is excluded, there are more than twenty recorded sixth-order monsters in the Northern Territory alone, not to mention some hidden True Lords within the Hundred Sects.
In terms of the number of sixth-order experts alone, the Northern Territory is dozens of times more than the Southern Territory.
The Northern Territory has been a chaotic battlefield since ancient times, and there are many incomplete caves left over from ancient times.
Among these caves, there are many rare spiritual places in the world, and countless powerful creatures have been bred there.
Moreover, the Red Blood Molten Star Formation did not seem to have left many traces in the Northern Territory. This might be another reason why so many powerful people emerged.
"I have invited all of you here today for no other purpose."
After understanding the basic situation, Shen Qing did not try to be mysterious and got straight to the point:
"I hope you will all help me to eliminate the demons in the Northern Territory."
Before he finished speaking, a True Lord immediately asked:
"May I ask how to clear it up?"
He looked to be in his thirties, with a handsome appearance, wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, with slightly messy hair, and a bloodstain on the side of his neck, showing that he was obviously injured.
Shen Qing pointed to the locations of the sixth-level monsters in the landscape painting:
"Destroy them one by one."
As soon as these words came out, the remaining True Lords stopped being silent. They all looked embarrassed and spoke up one after another:
"The big monsters are well-informed and they all look out for each other. If we focus all our efforts on encircling and suppressing one of them, it will affect the entire group and we may force them to join forces. Our overall strength is far inferior, and we are afraid that we will be counterattacked."
"This move is too risky. I hope you will consider it carefully. If you are not careful, you will destroy the Demon Slayer Division's foundation in the Northern Territory for many years."
“If those evil obstacles in the North Sea interfere again, the entire North Region will be in danger of collapse.”
“The risk is simply too great.”
If this tactic of defeating them one by one worked, the chaos in the Northern Territory would not have lasted for so long.
After years of development, the current situation in the Northern Territory has gradually stabilized. If the balance is disrupted rashly, it will cause shocking changes.
Nearly half of the True Lords were opposed to Shen Qing's use of thundering means as soon as he arrived in the Northern Territory, while the remaining half remained silent.
"I am not discussing this with you. Please help me."
Shen Qing shook his head slightly. Facing the opposition from many True Lords, he did not waver in the slightest. His tone was steady:
"In addition to everyone present here, there will be other helpers when the action is taken, so please rest assured."
Now that time was running out, Shen Qing had no time to have a heart-to-heart talk with these True Lords. He directly issued a decree to pressure them:
"The prince has given me the power to act at my own discretion. Anyone who says he is afraid of fighting will be killed immediately!"
After seeing the decree, the True Lords looked at each other, tacitly agreed with Shen Qing's words, and stopped trying to persuade him.
"When will you take action?"
"Tomorrow at noon."
After receiving the accurate answer, more than ten True Lords stood up one after another, left the hall, and made their own preparations.
After everyone left, Shen Qing disguised himself and quietly left the camp of the Demon Slaying Division alone.
Judging from the overall strength on paper, compared with dozens of big monsters and the monsters lurking in the North Sea, the Demon Slaying Bureau is undoubtedly much weaker.
Shen Qing naturally had her reasons for choosing to confront the enemy head-on.
The decree that Beitang Shifeng gave her also contained a jade talisman. The patterns engraved on the talisman were very simple, with only one word "God", which was cut in half by a sharp sword.
The Northern Territory is not only the focus of the Demon Slaying Division, but also the core area of the God Slaying Alliance. With this jade talisman, Shen Qing can get considerable help from hundreds of sects.
…………
…………
Not long after leaving the camp, Shen Qing's invisible spiritual sense began to give warnings.
This was not unexpected to her. She arrived in the Northern Territory with such a large-scale presence. It would be abnormal if the Saint King Jiuyou did not take action.
However, the person who made the move did lack patience and was a bit impatient.
hum-
When passing through a series of deep valleys, the sky above Shen Qing's head suddenly darkened. Spiritual patterns flashed in the void, interweaving to form a brilliant light of thunder.
The dense spiritual patterns came into view, making Shen Qing dazed for a moment.
As a spiritual formation master, she could tell at a glance that this was an incomplete spiritual formation left over from ancient times. The spiritual patterns were quite mysterious, and contained an extremely terrifying divine power.
Amidst the sky full of lightning, Shen Qing suddenly saw a corner of an orange-yellow robe, and his eyes suddenly froze.
Demon Slayer Division?!
woo-
A sharp cracking sound echoed in the sky, and a bronze spear tore through the void and shot out.
Before Shen Qing could come to her senses, she felt a strong wind blowing from behind. The next moment, the tip of the gun broke out of her chest and pierced her heart.
"It's so easy. I overestimated you. After all, you are just a Shenzang, which is a little bit short."
A figure stepped out in the lightning, wearing an orange-yellow robe. He was nearly fifty years old, with half-white hair and a smile of relief on his lips.
The heart was pierced. This kind of injury is a serious blow that cannot be reversed even for Master Guiyi.
He had heard that December had killed the God Lord, so he brought this ancient spirit formation with him, being extremely cautious, but he did not expect that it was a waste of time.
Shen Qing had some impression of the man's appearance. He was the True Lord who had just appeared in the hall.
Obviously, there are also supporters of the Nine Nether Saint King in the Demon Slaying Division, and perhaps there are far more than just this one.
Seeing the increasingly wanton smile on this man's face, Shen Qing slowly pulled out the spear from his chest, his expression indifferent:
"what are you laughing at?"

As the wound caused by the spear gradually healed, the old man's smile froze on his lips for a moment, his pupils dilated uncontrollably, and a look of horror emerged in his eyes.
Among the many divine organs in the human body, the heart is undoubtedly the most critical one, which controls and regulates the qi and blood of the whole body.
With a shattered heart, even for Master Guiyi, the chances of survival are slim.
Even because his soul and body have become one, once his heart suffers a serious injury, the spirit of Guiyi Zhenjun will also be greatly shaken, and his combat power will be reduced to one tenth. If he does not have a rare elixir to prolong his life, the road to the underworld is almost imminent.
For someone like Shen Qing, whose heart was instantly reborn, it was impossible for any living being to do so, except for the gods who worshipped the gods. Unless one had broken through the limit of returning to the true god and realized the mystery of creation, that is.
Practitioners at that level have already freed themselves from the constraints of the physical body, and their life forms have undergone fundamental changes.
After all, the old man had lived for a long time and had a strong mind. Seeing the indifferent look on Shen Qing's face, he quickly came to his senses, turned his palm and took out a round disk. His half-white hair flew up, his face suddenly turned red, he exerted force between his teeth, tore open the tip of his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of pure precious blood.
The disc is divided into three layers, inner and outer, with lightning patterns lingering around. After being stained with blood, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly sank and were torn together by an invisible force, turning into a giant black cocoon that swallowed Shen Qing.
