I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

Outside of Jinxiu Square.

Yang Tianqi had a disgruntled look on his face, "Today was supposed to be a celebration for Brother Han's promotion to Team Leader, but it got messed up by that bastard Guo Zhen.

Brother Han, since our meal was interrupted, why don't we go somewhere else for another meal?"

Han Zheng shook his head with narrowed eyes, "There's no rush for food, do you know anything about the Dan Yang Sect?"

Ye Liuyun said, "It's a small sect outside Kai Ping Prefecture. Their martial arts are mediocre at best, mostly focusing on alchemy, and they have some ties with a few powers around Kai Ping Prefecture."

At this point, Ye Liuyun's tone carried a trace of disdain, "Those people from Dan Yang Sect are best at sycophancy, and their actions lack integrity.

Just look at Fei Zhengchun earlier, a Martial Artist of the Xuan Gang Realm cozying up to an Innate Martial Artist of the Cang Mountain Sword Sect, displaying abject obsequiousness.

The Ye Family also had dealings with the Dan Yang Sect before, but for the sake of pleasing other larger sects, they sold the elixirs that should have gone to my family at half price to other sects.

Since then my Ye Family has stopped all cooperation with the Dan Yang Sect, they lack credibility in business, let alone in character."

"What about the strength of the Dan Yang Sect?"

Ye Liuyun paused for a moment and replied, "Honestly, not very impressive. Although the Dan Yang Sect is known as a martial arts sect, it actually survives on alchemy.

The disciples of the sect are not adept at fighting battles, but are skilled in alchemy and medicine making, and most of their cultivation levels have been raised through elixirs.

The only two people in the sect who can be considered strong are the Vice Sect Leader Fei Zhengchun we've met earlier.

And the other is Chu Zhengxu, the Sect Leader of Dan Yang Sect, who is quite aged, at the peak of the Xuan Gang Realm but has reportedly been stuck at the bottleneck of the Dan Sea for many years, unable to step into the Dan Sea Realm.

Considering his age, his vitality has already started to decline, it's unlikely he'll step into the Dan Sea Realm."

"So the Dan Yang Sect doesn't practice Demon Skills with a dark and evil attribute?"

Ye Liuyun was taken aback, "Of course not, the Dan Yang Sect practices cultivation techniques with fire attributes, which are convenient for controlling the fire in alchemy."

Narrowing his eyes, Han Zheng said gravely, "Fei Zhengchun likes to meddle in other's business, does he? Well, today I shall investigate his Dan Yang Sect!

To my knowledge, a Team Leader has the authority to summon the Xuanjia Guard and initiate inquiries or even take action against any sect."

Han Zheng, due to his search for information on the Pain Origin, had almost perused all kinds of task records from the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

Although he hadn't found what he was looking for, he had become very familiar with the Bureau's various powers and precedents, even more so than Ye Liuyun.

A thousand years ago, the position of Team Leader actually held significant power, with ten or even dozens of Xuanjia Guards permanently under command.

Back then, if the Team Leader suspected any sect or noble family of wrongdoing, as long as he felt he was strong enough, he could personally handle the situation without reporting to a superior.

It can be said that within the Demon Cleansing Bureau, one was truly considered an official with a certain degree of autonomy only upon reaching the rank of Team Leader.

Now due to the scarcity of officers in the Demon Cleansing Bureau, most Team Leaders are in name only, hence they mostly act on orders, and only those at the rank of Demon Sweeping Captain can act independently, though they still need to report back to headquarters afterward.

Han Zheng, with sufficient reason, could completely take a team to investigate the Dan Yang Sect.

Since Fei Zhengchun liked to interfere, Han Zheng decided to let him learn the consequences of meddling!

When in Black Stone County, Han Zheng often remained patient due to his weaker strength.

But as Han Zheng's strength had increased, he now had the standing to settle scores without delay.

Ye Liuyun furrowed his brows and said, "I'm aware of these rules, but what's the reason?

The Demon Cleansing Bureau abhors unwarranted punishment, attacking the Dan Yang Sect without cause will surely lead to reprimand from our superiors."

"Is the reason of collusion with Demons enough for the Dan Yang Sect?"

The three of them were stunned.

Since when did the Dan Yang Sect collude with Demons?

Han Zheng had only just met someone from the Dan Yang Sect today.

"Are you serious, Brother Han?"

Han Zheng said gravely, "Of course I'm serious. What is the duty of the Demon Cleansing Bureau? To eradicate Demons, to pacify the Martial World!

If we say the Dan Yang Sect has colluded with Demons, then they have colluded.

Moreover, I truly suspect there is something wrong with the Dan Yang Sect.

When I confronted Fei Zhengchun earlier, I sensed a dark and sinister corpse aura about him.

Since the Dan Yang Sect mainly practices alchemy, why would they possess such an aura?

Considering the recent succession of disappearances within Kai Ping Prefecture, an investigation is already underway; it might be related to the Dan Yang Sect.

Even if nothing is uncovered in the end, could there be a fault in carrying out our duties diligently?"

Han Zheng's intent to investigate the Dan Yang Sect wasn't groundless or fabricated.

The dark and sinister corpse aura he had felt on Fei Zhengchun was very familiar to him—it carried the same attribute as the aura from the Corpse Demon in the remnants of the True Martial Sect within Black Peak Mountain!

Of course, it wasn't as strong as that of the Corpse Demon, very faint indeed. If Han Zheng hadn't faced the Corpse Demon up close, he might not have detected it either.

"So, gentlemen, do we dare to take action? Although the Dan Yang Sect has two Xuan Gang Realm cultivators, Fei Zhengchun is merely at the early stage of Xuan Gang Realm, and Chu Zhengxu is already senile.

I, Han Zheng, have killed more than one or two Xuan Gang Realm martial artists."

Han Zheng, even in the late stage of the Innate Realm, had dared to directly confront those in the Xuan Gang Realm.

Now that he had stepped into the Half-step Xuan Gang Realm, it also meant that he officially had the qualifications to face off against Xuan Gang Realm martial artists head-on.

Yang Tianqi bluntly stated with vehemence, "Let's do it! What's there to be afraid of? Guo Zhen is a colleague from the Demon Cleansing Bureau, so we can't go too far with him.

It wouldn't be appropriate for us to strike at the people of Cang Mountain Sword Sect, but we're just dealing with the Dan Yang Sect. Are we afraid of them?"

In the past, Yang Tianqi had always been somewhat overly cautious, and although it was due to his prudence and restraint, it unavoidably made him appear too timid.

But since he had faced a Great Demon of Xuan Gang Realm with Han Zheng and the others, Yang Tianqi had grown bolder.

Ye Caiyun made a small fist gesture towards Ye Liuyun, indicating that she wasn't afraid to really fight if it came to that.

Ye Liuyun immediately said, "I have some familiar Xuanjia Guards within the Demon Cleansing Bureau, brothers who have executed many tasks alongside me. I'll gather them right now."

"I also need to find some help. Otherwise, facing two Xuan Gang Realm beings is going to be somewhat difficult."

"Whom will you seek?"

"Su Wuming!"

Ye Liuyun and the others were all taken aback.

Su Wuming was somewhat special within the Demon Cleansing Bureau, as if no one had spoken more than a few words with him, and his personality was also quite cold.

Han Zheng and Su Wuming had only executed one mission together. Were they so close? Was Su Wuming really willing to help Han Zheng with something as significant as attacking a sect?

Their spirits high, the group returned to the Demon Cleansing Bureau. Ye Liuyun went to gather troops, while Han Zheng knocked on Su Wuming's door.

Su Wuming opened the door and was momentarily stunned to see Han Zheng. In his many years at the Demon Cleansing Bureau, hardly anyone came to fetch him when it wasn't for an assigned mission. Han Zheng was the first.

"Brother Su, I suspect the Dan Yang Sect from Kai Ping Prefecture is colluding with demons and am planning to move against the Dan Yang Sect, which is why I came to ask for your help.

But since there are two Xuan Gang Realm individuals in the Dan Yang Sect, one at the early stage and one at the peak but already decrepit, it's somewhat difficult for me alone."

Su Wuming nodded, turned to pick up his Coiling Dragon Spear, and uttered one word: "Let's go!"

The two met Ye Liuyun at the entrance of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, where Ye Liuyun had also pulled together more than ten Xuanjia Guards, along with five others dressed in Silver Patterned Xuan Armor.

Ye Liuyun, born into a prominent family, lacked the arrogance typical of such family disciples and was warm-hearted beneath his cool exterior. Anyone who had executed missions with him was considered a true friend and respected his leadership.

Seeing Han Zheng and Su Wuming, a trace of surprise also appeared in the eyes of the Xuanjia Guards.

Su Wuming had a significant reputation, and if not for the rumors about his ill-fated luck, surely more people would be willing to befriend him.

Han Zheng felt like a newcomer at the Demon Cleansing Bureau, but in fact, he had already started to stand out.

Not to mention defeating Guo Zhen upon his arrival, each of his mission targets had been Xuan Gang Realm beings, a feat that was extremely impressive—especially since he had completed each one with finesse.

Aside from a few secret tasks, most assignments at the Demon Cleansing Bureau were transparent and public, with anyone able to observe.

It was easy to discern who was stronger or weaker.

At this moment, even knowing they were going to strike at a sect boasting two Xuan Gang Realm martial artists, none showed fear. Instead, they appeared eager to get started.

Although a part of the Demon Cleansing Bureau's ranks comprised those simply biding their time, the majority were like wolves, all seemingly wishing for chaos in the world.

Just then, Guo Zhen returned to the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

Seeing the formidable assembly that Han Zheng had gathered, Guo Zhen suddenly realized something, and his expression changed drastically.

"Han Zheng! What are you planning to do!?"

Han Zheng looked at Guo Zhen with a sardonic smile, "The Dan Yang Sect is suspected of conspiring with demons, so we're going to investigate. Is there a problem?"

"The Dan Yang Sect is honestly pursuing alchemy; how could they possibly conspire with demons!? Han Zheng, this is you seeking revenge for private grievances!"

A sudden dread filled Guo Zhen's heart. He had never imagined that Han Zheng would be so bold as to settle a grudge without delay and go looking for trouble with the Dan Yang Sect right away.

Han Zheng coldly said, "Guo Zhen, don't forget who you are!

You are a member of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, not of the Dan Yang Sect!

Do you dare to vouch for the Dan Yang Sect not colluding with demons? Do you have the authority to?

Get out of the way!"

With that, Han Zheng led the group out of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, heading straight for the Dan Yang Sect.

"Madmen! They're all bloody madmen!"

Left with no choice, Guo Zhen stepped aside, cursing under his breath as he rushed towards the inner parts of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

He was determined to lodge a complaint against Han Zheng and make him regret his actions.
