I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

"Having said so much, you don't even have a shred of evidence. It's all suspicion," Liu Xunqi frowned deeply, staring at Han Zheng.

Han Zheng chuckled, "As I said, because I am inherently suspicious, when so many doubtful points are added up, they are enough to prove that you cannot be separated from the Black Mountain Demon.

As for evidence, you have been colluding with demons for so many years, probably every corner of the Taishan Prefecture Demon Cleansing Bureau is evidence.

Liu Xunqi, you won't withstand investigation!"

In fact, Han Zheng had another crucial point of suspicion that he did not mention: Liu Xunqi's strength.

According to Yan Xuankong, Liu Xunqi was a nobody sixty years ago, someone not even worthy of his notice.

Of course, this also had to do with Yan Xuankong's irresponsibility as Garrison Commander.

Yan Xuankong was arrogant. According to him, there were few competent people in the entire Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Bureau at that time.

Even Xu Cunbao, in his view, was mediocre. He was mediocre then, and even now, despite having condensed the Martial Arts True Pill, he was still mediocre.

Below mediocre, there were assuredly the useless ones, who in their lifetime almost had no hope of entering the Dan Sea Realm.

The path of Martial Arts is one that rises step by step to heaven. Transcending the mundane in Innateness, solidifying True Yuan to enter Xuan Gang, opening the Dan Sea to condense the True Pill—each step requires immense talent and extraordinary perseverance, plus various external treasures to even reach such realms.

How did Liu Xunqi, once a Xuanjia Guard placed in the trash pile under Yan Xuankong, become today's Quasi-Master in the Dan Sea Realm and Taishan Prefecture's Garrison Captain? Therein lay no small issue.

Han Zheng did not believe Yan Xuankong in other matters, but he did trust his judgement of people.

Liu Xunqi's complexion gradually darkened; he seemed to have not expected that such a minor flaw would make Han Zheng suspect him.

This guy must be crazy! Was it a mistake for him to show some enthusiasm towards him?

Han Zheng gazed deeply at Liu Xunqi and said in a heavy voice, "If I'm not wrong, you joined the Black Mountain Demon's ranks even earlier.

When the Black Mountain Demon swept across the land, you must have already joined his forces, only secretly, which is why you have not been purged.

After Chen Zhenfu drove away the Black Mountain Demon, you were still connected by a thread, and probably it was only with the Secret Techniques and resources given by the Black Mountain Demon that you were able to cultivate all the way to the Dan Sea Realm, right?

But you were indeed cautious enough. Over the years, you haven't shown the slightest trace of your tracks, to the extent that your Taishan Prefecture has become one of the most outstanding State Mansions in suppressing demons."

Liu Xunqi glared fiercely at Han Zheng, retorting coldly, "So what if I did? I joined the Demon Cleansing Bureau at the age of twenty and it took me over thirty years through countless battles to barely rise to be a Team Leader of the Golden Rune Team.

Without the help of the Black Mountain Demon King, how could I now be a Quasi-Master of the Dan Sea Realm and sit as the Garrison Captain of a territory? I would probably have died of old age by now!

People like you with exceptional talent will never understand the pain of people like us!

The path of Martial Arts is long and arduous, of course, I will side with whoever gives me an opportunity, whoever lets me go further!"

Others may have complicated reasons for joining the Black Mountain Demon, but Liu Xunqi's reasons were simple.

He was the kind of Xuanjia Guard who had little regard for principles; the Black Mountain Demon gave him power, so he worked for the Black Mountain Demon.

Even without the Black Mountain Demon, if other Martial World Sects, Cult powers, and so on gave him power, he would still choose to betray the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

Han Zheng shook his head slightly, "Trash really is trash, always blaming Heaven and others."

Yan Xuankong's assessment was indeed accurate; Liu Xunqi could not even be considered mediocre, but was at most a wastrel.

"And Master Luo, come out. Don't hide anymore. You have been in this Taishan Prefecture Demon Cleansing Department government office all along, haven't you?"

Han Zheng looked around and said, "When I knew you were in Taishan Prefecture, I guessed that you believed the most dangerous place was the safest, so you hid in the quite strong Taishan Prefecture Demon Cleansing Bureau.

But I've realized I still underestimated you. You've been playing hide-and-seek right under the lamp!

No one would expect that a trusted subordinate of the Black Mountain Demon would actually be hiding inside the Demon Cleansing Bureau government office!"

A Xuanjia Guard next to Liu Xunqi suddenly stepped forward, yanking off the Xuan Armor and revealing a black yin-yang fish Taoist robe.

With a casual wipe across the face, ripples undulated like water, and the unremarkable face transformed into the sharp-featured, monkey-cheeked appearance of Master Luo.

"A chess move short, I'm truly curious," Han Zheng paused, "exactly how did you convince the Washing Sword Pavilion bunch to give up on the Asking Sword Manor?"

"Do you believe me if I say that the Washing Sword Pavilion deeply understands righteousness?" Han Zheng replied.

Luodao shaked his head, "Not even a ghost would believe that."

He was very clear about what sort of people were in the Washing Sword Pavilion.

If they really understood righteousness, why would he have gone to such lengths to manipulate them?

But Luodao genuinely didn't understand how Han Zheng managed to break the game. Could it be that Han Zheng chickened out and didn't investigate the Asking Sword Manor?

That was also impossible.

After suffering a loss last time, Luodao investigated Han Zheng in detail.

Ever since Han Zheng rose to prominence in the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Bureau, when had he ever backed down?

Han Zheng was notoriously strong-willed, someone who always took an eye for an eye!

Slowly unsheathing the Autumn Water Surprised Swallow Saber, Han Zheng looked at Luodao and said indifferently, "I let you escape last time, but this time I'd like to see how you'll do that!"

Luodao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Han Zheng, oh Han Zheng, you seem to have misunderstood the situation.

Why would I need to run this time? Since Taishan Prefecture has been exposed, I can act without any reservations.

With Liu Xunqi, a Quasi-Master of the Dan Sea Realm, what can you use to block us?

And since you know the government office of the Demon Cleansing Department in Taishan Prefecture is my lair, do you think the other Xuanjia Guards here are innocent?"

As Luodao's words fell, more than thirty of the fifty-odd Xuanjia Guards following Liu Xunqi burst forth with thick demon energy, tearing off their disguises to reveal their demonic true forms.

The more than twenty remaining Xuanjia Guards, although not demons, were obviously already penetrated by Liu Xunqi and turned into the Black Mountain Demon's men.

Of course, it was also possible they were originally under the Black Mountain Demon's command, merely donning the Xuan Armor.

The Black Mountain Demon was an oddity among demons, his human followers even outnumbering the members of the Demon Clan at one point.

Those demons disguised as humans were not weak in strength; up until now, it was unknown how they had hidden themselves, as Han Zheng hadn't detected even the slightest trace of demon energy on them.

Now looking at them, there were actually three Great Demons among those demons, and among Liu Xunqi's subordinates, there were also three who had reached the Xuan Gang Realm.

In such a comparison, although the Kui Character Camp had numerical superiority, they did not have the advantage in high-end combat strength.

"Use Washing Sword Pavilion as a shield, huh? Elder Du, it's your time to shine, help me block Liu Xunqi!"

With the sound of a sword cry, Du Songquan leaped from midair, his long sword emitting a sharp, piercing whistle.

Even when his identity had been exposed, Luodao had remained calm and assured of victory.

It was not until Du Songquan appeared and sided with Han Zheng that Luodao's expression finally changed.

It was already inconceivable that Washing Sword Pavilion didn't turn against Han Zheng because of Asking Sword Manor, but now Du Songquan was actually standing on Han Zheng's side? How could that be possible?

"Elder Du, are you out of your mind? Your disciple Yuen Jingtong, whom you cultivated and supported in Washing Sword Pavilion, was killed by Han Zheng, and now you are actually helping him against us?"

Du Songquan snorted coldly, adopting a self-righteous attitude.

"Mr. Han and Yuen Jingtong had a fair fight to settle their grudges. Victory and defeat, life and death should not be pursued further.

Today, I am not intervening to help Mr. Han, but to eliminate demons, which is our innate duty!

Luodao, with your many evildoings and a litany of sins, I, Du Songquan, as an elder of the Washing Sword Pavilion, am duty-bound to eradicate demons and uphold justice!"

Since he was already being blackmailed by Han Zheng, he had to intervene this time anyway, so why not add some reputation to his name?

Thus, Du Songquan's statement was grand and righteous.

But even if Luodao had had his head smashed in a door, he would not believe such nonsense!
