I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

Han Zheng squatted down, looking at the old blind man who was already in so much pain that he convulsed and wept uncontrollably, his voice calm and gentle.

"Can you talk now?"

"I'll talk! I'll say anything! Please, just kill me and end this quickly!"

By this time, the old blind man had completely collapsed both physically and mentally.

Watching his own brothers attempt to rescue him, only to die one by one at Han Zheng's hands, this despair was unbearable for the old blind man, causing his mental state to collapse.

"You see, if you had spoken earlier, wouldn't all this have been unnecessary? Why suffer so much and even drag your brothers to die with you?"

Han Zheng chuckled lightly, stabbing several times into the old blind man's heart with his words.

Han Zheng did not deny that his methods were somewhat ruthless and extreme.

But, given the things that the Blood Wolf Thieves had done, there was no need for rules or morality with them.

They were just beasts, not deserving of being treated like humans.

Beasts had no human rights.

"How many of you from the Blood Wolf Thieves are left? What are your strengths?"

"After coming out from the Tiancang Mountain Range, there were ninety-eight of us. During the looting of a minor noble family, we met with an unexpected disaster and were left with ninety-seven men.

Our leader Chou Jingxiao is at the peak of the Xuan Gang Realm, and there are three others who have reached the Half-step Xuan Gang Realm.

The rest of the brothers are about half at the Late Stage of the Innate Transcendence Realm and half at the Peak of the Innate Transcendence Realm."

"What exactly did the Blood Wolf Thieves steal from the Smell Fragrance Sect that has them pursuing you so relentlessly?"

"I don't know."

Han Zheng frowned, "You don't know?"

The old blind man shuddered violently, hurriedly shouting, "I really don't know! I'm just an insignificant figure in the Blood Wolf Thieves. Even under my boss Chou Jingxiao, I'm not considered a core member. How could I possibly know the affairs of the higher-ups?

I only know that it all started when the Great Master Zhong Wanchou discovered the people from the Smell Fragrance Sect secretly gathering in a place within the Tiancang Mountain Range not far from our Tiandang Mountain.

The Great Master led people to investigate, and they ended up seizing a treasure from that group of the Smell Fragrance Sect.

After that, the Smell Fragrance Sect went mad. They even ignored the court's crackdown and managed to gather thousands of elite masters to besiege us.

The Great Master was directly killed by a palm strike from the Auspicious Heavenly God of the Nine Heavens Guardian Divine Venerable, and the other masters were also killed.

Only the boss managed to lead us through a secret tunnel into the Tiancang Mountain Range to escape with our lives.

Actually, what the boss had in hand was, to be precise, only a part of that treasure.

The treasure was scattered when it was discovered; some were taken by the Smell Fragrance Sect, while the rest was snatched by us, the Blood Wolf Thieves."

"Where is Chou Jingxiao now?"

"I don't know. The boss told us to scatter and break through independently; the final plan was to go to Smoke Wave Lake to become bandits.

But the boss didn't carry the treasure on him; it was placed inside Julong Cave."

Han Zheng's expression changed slightly, "Placed inside Julong Cave? With such a treasure, how could Chou Jingxiao possibly not carry it on him? Even at this juncture, you dare to deceive me!"

The old blind man forced a bitter smile, "I'm not lying to you. The boss said that treasure is something everyone wants, and no matter whether it's the Demon Cleansing Bureau or those major factions who get hold of it, he's doomed regardless.

So, it might be better to temporarily hide the treasure inside Julong Cave. If he gets caught, and they can't find the treasure, he still has a chance to live.

However, if he manages to break through, the major factions would definitely continue to hunt him, and their attention would not be on Julong Cave. Then, he could find an opportunity to retrieve it."

"Do you know where that place is?"

"The boss hid the treasure; no one else went with him.

But the boss said he carved a concealed Blood Wolf mark on the wall; the direction the wolf's head points to is the route to Treasure Cave. Just follow the direction of the wolf heads, and you will find the cave.

If he doesn't make it out of Julong Cave this time, then other brothers can come back later to take the treasure."

Han Zheng carefully examined the entrance of the cave and indeed found a thumb-sized wolf's head mark carved with a knife at the very top, pointing directly to another cave entrance.

"Can you kill me now? Give me a swift end."

Old Blind man rasped, his face full of pleading as he looked at Han Zheng.

This time, Han Zheng swung his knife directly, severing his head.

"[Slain a martial artist at the Peak of Innate Transcendence, obtained 450 Qi Blood Essence pearls]"

Meanwhile, in the cave, a tall and burly young man clad in a fiery red light armor was slowly crushing the bones of a Blood Wolf thief inch by inch.

This man was none other than Guan Hongtu, a top disciple of the Inner Door from the Xuanyang Martial Sect.

His hands possessed boundless strength, crushing the flesh and bones of his adversary into a pulp with a single grip.

Seeing his body turn to mush, the Blood Wolf thief instantly collapsed.

"I'll talk! I'll say anything! The boss hid the treasure inside Julong Cave!"

Once the rival disclosed everything he wanted to know, Guan Hongtu scoffed in disdain.

"I thought the Blood Wolf Thieves' bones would be tougher, but that's not the case."

After locating the mark of the Blood Wolf, Guan Hongtu headed straight for the Treasure Cave.

Over at the Pang Family in the Western Ridges, Pang Wanchun had also captured a Blood Wolf thief.

He was handsome, with a carefree smile always gracing his face; the casual nobility that came with being born into a prestigious family could not be concealed.

He obviously wouldn't partake in torturous interrogations.

However, Pang Wanchun produced a clear crystal stone, placing it upon the captive's forehead right at the spiritual platform, and in a moment, the captive had disclosed everything he wanted to know.

This secret treasure could invade deep into a martial artist's Mental State. Any martial artist in the Innate Realm, whose spiritual power was not strong, would almost inevitably succumb to it.

"Interesting, the Blood Wolf Thieves actually managed to plunder an extraordinary item from the Smell Fragrance Sect.

What could it be that makes the Smell Fragrance Sect disregard the Court's punishment, even to the point of deploying a Nine Heavens Guardian Divine Venerable to snatch it?"

A flicker of eagerness and excitement shone in Pang Wanchun's eyes.

In the Southern Mountain, he was a prominent figure among the young generation; however, he wasn't born as a direct descendant of the Pang Family but rather a child of a concubine.

Despite his innate talent, he had been treated as a successor by the Pang Family over the years, so his status had been relatively stable, at least enough to rival a few from the main lineage.

But the problem was that although the direct descendants of the Pang Family were mediocre, there were several young individuals of exceptional talent from side branches and illegitimate lines. They were younger and less powerful than him but still received support from some family elders.

The path of Martial Arts wasn't one where leading by a step ensured continued leadership. In a few years, others could catch up in the blink of an eye.

At that point, when everyone was from side branches and illegitimate lines, naturally, the strongest would become the inheritor. Hence, Pang Wanchun's advantage wasn't that significant and he had always been under considerable pressure.

If he could seize that treasure now, whether he could use it or not was a different matter, but the credit alone would solidify his position as the successor!

Thinking thus, Pang Wanchun also made his way straight to the Treasure Cave.

On Han Zheng's side, he followed the wolf head marks towards the deepest part but didn't encounter any Blood Wolf thieves or other people.

The Blood Wolf thieves were currently breaking through to the exterior, and naturally, they wouldn't be in these internal caves.

At the end of the wolf head trail was a massive cave, it was the deepest part of Julong Cave, with no pathways leading to other caves.

This place seemed to have been a grand hall for worshiping the divine, with beautifully carved stone pillars that had since collapsed. At the very back stood a colossal statue, ten zhang tall, but now just half a figure remained, and it was indiscernible whether it depicted a Buddha or a Bodhisattva or some other deity.

Han Zheng surveyed the surroundings and finally noticed a trace of an Array's fluctuation at the top of the half-remaining statue.

Taking a closer look at the body of the statue, it was covered in dust from thousands of years, yet there were several distinct footprints on it.

Logically, Chou Jingxiao certainly could have hidden the treasure here, but he might have been almost too conspicuous, no?

Was he so eager for others to know the location of the treasure?

Or perhaps Chou Jingxiao was too rushed to conceal it further, or maybe he was too confident, believing others couldn't find this place?

Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind Han Zheng.

"Hey? Someone got here even before I did."
