I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

"Han Zheng! What do you mean!?"

Lei Tianyuan never expected that Han Zheng would dare to attack him so abruptly in front of everyone.

In terms of rank, Han Zheng was higher than him, but the Thirteen Guards didn't interfere with the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Bureau.

Moreover, his master was the Garrison Commander Ren Tianying!

In terms of both strength and experience, Ren Tianying far surpassed Han Zheng!

"What do I mean? Do I need a reason to hit you?"

Han Zheng said coldly, "Do you think I didn't see those small movements of yours just now? The Demon Cleansing Bureau is a place where brothers trust each other with their backs, yet you blatantly used Elder Xu as a shield. It's a disgrace to the Demon Cleansing Bureau!"

The other Xuanjia Guards present also looked at Lei Tianyuan with disdain.

In fact, if Lei Tianyuan had just fled, no one could say anything; after all, fear of death is human nature.

But for him to act in such a despicable manner, it was truly contemptible.

"Han Zheng! Don't forget, you are no longer part of the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Bureau. Whatever I've done is none of your business!"

Lei Tianyuan looked at Han Zheng with malice.

Once his master returns, he definitely won't let Han Zheng off for this slap!

"None of my business? Is this none of my business?"

Han Zheng showed his Patrol Envoy badge, and Lei Tianyuan was immediately stunned.

Because Han Zheng came in such a hurry, traveling day and night without rest, he hadn't changed into the Black Gold Qilin Armor specific to the Patrol Envoy.

But a badge is something that can't be faked; it's all recorded at headquarters.

Lei Tianyuan never expected that when Han Zheng left the Demon Cleansing Bureau, he was just a Garrison Captain, but he became the Grand Steward of the Jing'an Guard upon reaching the Capital City.

How long has it been, and he's already become a Patrol Envoy?

Before Lei Tianyuan could react, Han Zheng moved, instantly appearing in front of Lei Tianyuan.

With his blood and Qi suddenly boiling over and exploding, Han Zheng's punch descended with such powerful force that even when Lei Tianyuan was at his peak, he would have struggled to withstand it, let alone now after having just gone through a fierce battle and suffering from severe blood and Qi depletion.

Lei Tianyuan's Gang Qi Essence around him instinctively exploded, his arms crossed in front of him, but the Gang Qi around him was shattered by Han Zheng's punch, and his arms instantly twisted into a bizarre arc, with blood gushing out profusely.

Seeing Han Zheng making a move, the expressions of Lei Tianyuan's trusted subordinates changed, and they instinctively moved.

Xiang Yuangong signaled to his subordinates, and the Jing'an Guards immediately stepped in to control them all.

Watching Han Zheng deliver another punch towards Lei Tianyuan, Xu Cunbao hurriedly shouted, "Spare him!"

Xu Cunbao was not just a do-gooder; Han Zheng was venting his anger on his behalf, and he didn't want to be soft and stop Han Zheng.

He was just afraid that Han Zheng might be too impulsive and actually kill Lei Tianyuan with one punch.

After all, Lei Tianyuan was a Garrison Captain, a Grandmaster in the True Pill Realm, considered a semi-high-level figure in the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

If someone of this level were killed by one of their own, even though Han Zheng was the Grand Steward of the Jing'an Guard, he would still need a reasonable explanation, otherwise, trouble would follow.

Han Zheng's punch still landed but struck Lei Tianyuan's Dantian, shattering his Martial Arts True Pill.

Lei Tianyuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning pale, and he passed out directly.

Han Zheng crippled Lei Tianyuan's Dan Sea and shattered his Martial Arts True Pill, completely rendering him a waste.

"Elder Xu, rest assured, I know what I'm doing; I won't really kill him."

Tossing Lei Tianyuan aside like a dead dog, Han Zheng said calmly, "Ren Tianying's performance in the Southern Mountain this time has made the Grand Commander very angry and displeased. When they return to the Capital City, they'll certainly be severely punished. At this moment, even if I cripple Ren Tianying's subordinates, no one will say anything."

Xu Cunbao nodded slightly, knowing that Han Zheng was aware of these things was enough.

"Elder Xu, after receiving your message, the Grand Commander immediately arranged for me to come and reinforce you. It's only been half a month; how did the situation deteriorate so quickly that even Kai Ping Prefecture fell? What happened exactly?"

Xu Cunbao sighed and detailed to Han Zheng the events of the past half month.

When Ren Tianying first came to the Southern Mountain, the two parties actually got along quite harmoniously.

Ren Tianying was newly arrived, and Xu Cunbao was an experienced Garrison Captain, and Ren Tianying indeed gave Xu Cunbao a certain level of respect, consulting him on all matters first.

Xu Cunbao didn't flaunt his seniority, saying what needed to be said and keeping silent on what shouldn't, showing respect to the new Garrison Commander and not seizing power.

For Xu Cunbao, he was of retirement age, and so long as the new Garrison Commander managed the Southern Mountain well, he was more than willing to let go of responsibilities.

So for the first two or three months, one could say it was a honeymoon period, with peace and harmony prevailing.

But Chen Baxian's influence on the Southern Mountain was too significant.

As a Garrison Commander, he twice turned the tide, suppressing the major forces of the Southern Mountain, leaving an indelible mark on the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Bureau.

Ren Tianying, newly arrived, constantly heard about how great Chen Baxian was, subconsciously developing a desire to compete with him.

In the end, this competitive mindset even turned into resentment and aversion.

Moreover, Lei Tianyuan and another of his disciples were the main culprits causing Ren Tianying's change in mindset.

They constantly whispered in Ren Tianying's ear, spreading news about how the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Bureau people disrespected him, always thought about Chen Baxian, and didn't take him seriously, which further fueled Ren Tianying's change in mindset.

Ultimately, Ren Tianying couldn't hold back any longer and planned to do something to show the entire Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Bureau that he was not weaker than Chen Baxian!

He even wanted to completely erase Chen Baxian's mark on the Southern Mountain.

After the Black Mountain Demon incident, Chen Baxian suppressed the Martial World of the Southern Mountain, exterminated the Cold Water Bai Family, and heavily punished the Washing Sword Pavilion.

Ren Tianying wanted to surpass Chen Baxian and had to be even more extreme than him.

He convened meetings of the major sects, requesting that they nationalize all spiritual fields and mineral resources, for the Demon Cleansing Bureau to unify distribution and management.

He wanted all major forces to reallocate territories, to reduce mutual killings and conflicts, and even required new disciples to report to the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

In simple terms, if Ren Tianying succeeded in all this, the Southern Mountain would become his one-man show, with everyone having to act according to his whims.

Han Zheng was dumbfounded after hearing this.

Ren Tianying was purely dreaming! Trying to seize control over the lifeblood of the Five Families and Seven Sects was simply impossible!

Ren Tianying thought that because he spent a long time in the Capital City, the power of the Demon Cleansing Bureau could extend throughout the Great Zhou.

Little did he know that in some places, the Demon Cleansing Bureau even had to compromise with local Martial World forces to maintain its presence.

Ren Tianying's mistake was in assuming the power of the Capital Demon Cleansing Department headquarters as his own.

Of course, what Ren Tianying attempted wasn't impossible, as Chen Baxian had managed it before.

Chen Baxian's strength already surpassed anyone in the Yang God Realm, and even if the Yang God Realm Martial Artists from the Five Families and Seven Sects joined forces, they wouldn't withstand a punch from Chen Baxian.

If Chen Baxian wanted to control the Southern Mountain, almost no one could stop him.

However, this would lead to great resentment among the major forces, and once Chen Baxian left, a backlash would be inevitable.

But as for Ren Tianying, his backlash came before he even left.

At first, the major sects paid lip service, treating Ren Tianying's orders as a joke.

Later, Ren Tianying had several conflicts with them, and when facing a sect individually, Ren Tianying managed to gain the upper hand.

Being from the elite Eagle Guards, his strength was significantly superior to these Yang God Realm Martial Artists of the Southern Mountain, allowing him to suppress the local Martial World forces momentarily.

However, tensions were already extremely high by this time, and Xu Cunbao advised Ren Tianying to temporarily back down and not be so aggressive, but Ren Tianying reprimanded him, and the two parted on bad terms.

At that moment, conflicts fully erupted, and subsequently, the Smell Fragrance Sect unexpectedly reignited from ashes in the Southern Mountain, taking over the place in less than a month!
