"No!"

Zhao Fang shook his head and his face became even paler.

"The Demon Suppression Division is ruthless. If we report it to the Demon Suppression Division, my family will definitely not be left with a single living soul."

"I hope that Lord Shen, for the sake of my 20 years as the governor of Lin'an City, will leave a way out for my family. They do not even know what's going on here."

"Lord Shen can report to the Demon Suppression Division that I was killed by the demons and knew nothing else, that would be enough!"

As he finished speaking, Zhao Fang also stood up and bowed deeply to Shen Changqing.

He colluded with the demons, which was a big enough crime in Great Qin's Law to execute his family's nine generations.

It didn't matter if he died alone. After all, Zhao Fang already had some psychological preparation for this type of situation when he joined the demons.

However, although he could die, his family can not follow him to the underworld.

Currently, the only hope for his family to live was up to Shen Changqing.

As long as Shen Changqing said that Zhao Fang did not defect to the demons, then everything would be fine.

"You may have been the governor for 20 years, but in the end, you still joined the demons. If I cover for you, that would be the same as disregarding the lives of the people in the Ancient Moon Village!"

"I am sorry for the people of the Ancient Moon Village, but my family are also innocent–"

"The people of the family have been favored by you. They enjoyed your blessings and have been able to get away with it for 20 years in Lin'an City, so naturally they must also bear the corresponding karma. This matter will be given a fair verdict by the Demon Suppression Division."

Shen Changqing interrupted Zhao Fang. No one was innocent, everything that Zhao Fang's family had now was all from Zhao Fang.

At this moment, Zhao Fang was distressed. His family would get dragged into the fray if this continued.

"Of course, I can also give you a chance. As long as you answer some questions for me, then I will provide help in any way I can to your family."

"What do you want to know?" Zhao Fang took a few deep breaths, as his chest rose and fell violently.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat Shen Changqing, he would have rushed the latter already.

But if he really did that, it would only exterminate the last hope of life for his family.

Shen Changqing was calm. He was sitting down in the opposite position of Zhao Fang and his sword was placed on the side.

"It's very simple, what is the main purpose of your cooperation with the demons, and through what way do you contact each other? Did the demons leave their means in Lin'an City? Tell me everything."

"Depending on what you say right now, will determine your family's future to redeem themselves."

"Whether it's important or not, you know it better than I do, so tell me."

Zhao Fang fell silent.

Things had come to this point, and he understood that he had no choice but to speak.

He bowed his head and pondered for a while, before looking up at Shen Changqing.

"The demons, compared to humans, have a very powerful advantage and that is their lifespan. An ordinary human could live up to dozens of years and up to a hundred years, but the demons are completely different."

"My biggest reason for joining the demons is also because of longevity."

"I'm getting old, and without the help of the demons, I would only have another one or two decades left before my lifespan reaches its end."

Zhao Fang's voice was calm, but when he talked about longevity, his eyes clearly became a little more fiery.

For him, longevity was a great temptation. Otherwise, he would not have defected to the demons.

Shen Changqing did not interrupt him this time and just silently listened to the other party's next words.

"My connection with the demons was made through Zhuang Mingyuan, the one who just fought with you. He is from the Eternal Life Alliance and it was through him that I came into contact with the Eternal Life Alliance, as well as the demons in general."

"Eternal Life Alliance?" Shen Changqing raised his eyebrows. This name was unfamiliar to him.

"The Eternal Life Alliance is an organization of the demons. I actually don't know much about it, I just understand that a lot of people, who have defected to the demons, will join the Eternal Life Alliance, I don't know anything else."

Zhao Fang shook his head.

Shen Changqing silently recited the name of the Eternal Life Alliance in his heart.

The organization's name was straightforward enough.

Eternal life!

Will all of those people who surrender to the demons gain eternal life?

In this regard, he could not help but snicker: "Demons and humans are always against each other. In the eyes of the demons, humans are no different from rations. Even if they have the power to grant eternal life, they will not give it to you."

"Maybe!" Zhao Fang did not deny the fact: "But in the Eternal Life Alliance, there are humans that have lived for hundreds of years. For us who only have decades of life span left, hundreds of years is long enough."

"Could it be that besides Zhuang Mingyuan, the Eternal Life Alliance doesn't have some sort of identification that connects you to them?"

"There is."

Zhao Fang nodded and took out a silver token from his pocket and handed it over, "This is the token of the Eternal Life Alliance. All those who have joined the Eternal Life Alliance can get one."

"Did Lord Shen not get the token on Zhuang Mingyuan's body?"

When he spoke, he was probing what had happened.

Though, in response, Shen Changqing's face remained unchanged. He simply took the silver token and said: "No, after I beheaded him, I burned his body, so there was no trace of any token."

Shen Changqing's sight fell on the token.

The silver token's front was engraved with a portrait of an evil and hideous demon. It was uncomfortable to look at. The back was engraved with the two words: Eternal Life!

At this time, Zhao Fang smiled. He understood what happened.

"No wonder Lord Shen did not get Zhuang Mingyuan's token. Although this token does not have any other drawbacks, it has one and that is, it can be easily melted when it meets fire."

Shen Changqing nodded slightly and understood why he did not get the Eternal Life Alliance token from Zhuang Mingyuan.

Shen Changqing then handed the token back.

Zhao Fang paused and then spoke: "There should be no other Eternal Life Alliance forces present in Lin'an City. After all, Lin'an City is only a small city, there is no need to put too much effort into it."

"It's only Zhuang Mingyuan and that Ghost Level monster."

Shen Changqing then continued to ask several questions, to which Zhao Fang gave adequate answers. It could be seen that the latter was indeed very sincere.

Shen Changqing pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright, the last question, did you get news of the Demon's Essence Blood?"

"Demon's Essence Blood?"

A confused look appeared in Zhao Fang's eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Changqing was clear that the other party knew nothing about the Demon's Essence Blood. It seemed that Zhao Fang's status in the Eternal Life Alliance was not high and limited.

A moment later, after sorting some information in his mind, Shen Changqing looked at Zhao Fang and asked: "What should be answered, you have already answered. As for the rest of the matter, would you do it yourself, or do I need to do it myself?"

"No need to bother Lord Shen, I can do it myself."

Zhao Fang took a dagger from his sleeve and looked straight at Shen Changqing: "I only hope that Lord Shen can keep his word and give my family a way to live!"

As soon as his words sounded, he stabbed the dagger in his chest!
