I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

Si Tianli and Ren Tianying were currently beneath the bronze cauldron, watching it absorb the Dragon Vein Qi Fortune Power.

Ren Tianying was curious about the spectacle, while Si Tianli was vigilant, constantly inspecting the surroundings for any approaching individuals.

"Is this the legendary Dragon Vein? It's too small, and the national fortune is so weak that I can barely feel it."

Ren Tianying asked with some curiosity.

Everyone knew that the Great Zhou was protected by the Dragon Vein Qi Fortune, which allowed it to endure until now. However, the form of such a Dragon Vein remained unseen by anyone except a few core members of the imperial family.

Upon seeing it now, Ren Tianying felt that this Dragon Vein was pathetically small.

Though it was quite extraordinary, it didn't quite meet his expectations.

Si Tianli said indifferently, "The Dragon Vein is certainly not just this big. The Great Zhou Dragon Vein stretches across thousands of miles, spanning the entire Great Zhou territory. The Dragon Vein inside the Imperial Palace is merely the core, and its true body is unimaginably magnificent.

This Dragon Vein's current state is owed to the fact that the Youxin Ancient Country has already perished, and this is merely the remnant of Youxin Ancient Country's Dragon Vein, with its national fortune almost depleted, leaving just a tiny bit behind, which is actually more than I imagined.

Perhaps it's because the Youxin Ancient Country is sealed within this space, and thus, some Qi Fortune hasn't dissipated.

If this were outside, even this relic would probably not be preserved; it would've already been scattered."

At this moment, Si Tianli's ear twitched suddenly, then he said with a half-smile, "Someone's coming; their speed is quite fast. Fang Canghai must've tipped them off.

Ren Zhenfu, this round will depend on you. As long as you help Prince Liang seize this Dragon Vein Qi Fortune, His Highness will ensure your prosperous future!"

Ren Tianying's face turned somber, and he chuckled coldly, "Rest assured, even without Prince Liang, I plan to bury Han Zheng and the others right here!"

Meanwhile, Han Zheng and his group arrived in front of the Imperial Palace, witnessing from a distance Si Tianli and Ren Tianying's attempt to seize the Dragon Vein.

Yan Xuankong suddenly rubbed his forehead and communicated telepathically, "Old man, I finally remember; back then, I saw Ji Yuanfang also attempting to seize this Dragon Vein!

But at that time, the relic was far more perilous than it is now, and the area around the Imperial Palace was guarded by the undying sentries left by the Youxin Ancient Country.

Ji Yuanfang and the Black Mountain Demon seemed to have exhausted all their power to eliminate those undying sentries.

Yet, just as they were about to maneuver the Dragon Vein, the spatial tremor inside the relic expelled them forcefully."

"What exactly did Ji Yuanfang want to do?"

Yan Xuankong tightly rubbed his forehead, painfully recalling, attempting to extract fragments of his memories amidst the familiar scenes in front of him.

"Steal the heavens and replace the day, change fate!"

After a long while, Yan Xuankong finally uttered these eight words.

"I can't recall deeper memories anymore, but what Ji Yuanfang schemed with the Black Mountain Demon was to use this Dragon Vein and residual national fortune to steal the heavens and replace the day, to change fate.

I don't know what fate he wanted to change, but their plot was undeniably treacherous; otherwise, they wouldn't have tried to kill me to silence me."

Han Zheng glanced at him, communicating telepathically, "Ji Yuanfang indeed committed treachery, but you were brazen enough to blackmail them despite knowing their plan was colossal."

"Wasn't I young and impetuous then? I didn't expect Ji Yuanfang to be so ruthless."

Yan Xuankong chuckled awkwardly, "Now isn't the time to discuss this; you've already had grievances with Ji Yuanfang before, no matter what his plan is, if he truly succeeds, then Qi Zhangwu might not even be able to protect you.

Ji Yuanfang appears hearty and generous, yet he is deeply cunning and heartless.

If he dared to assassinate me back then, it means he fears neither the Demon Cleansing Bureau nor Qi Zhangwu the Grand Commander, so he certainly won't consider you.

If his plan succeeds, squashing you would be as easy as crushing an ant."

Han Zheng squinted, "Strike!"

He naturally understood everything Yan Xuankong said, no matter what Ji Yuanfang intended to do, he must halt Si Tianli.

The group immediately rushed towards the direction of the Imperial Palace.

Seeing Han Zheng and his group arrive, Si Tianli showed no panic and instead laughed heartily, "Lord Han, opportunities abound here; why must you compete with me?"

"Who's competing with you over this thing? On the contrary, General Si, why dig up the Dragon Vein and collect Qi Fortune? What do you intend to do? Rebel?"

Si Tianli said indifferently, "I, Si Tian, am deeply indebted to the Emperor, so how could I commit treason?

This Dragon Vein, though withered, still counts as a treasure; even if unused, it makes a good ornament.

In six months, it will be His Majesty's birthday, so I'm preparing to excavate it as a gift. Is there a problem with that?

If Lord Han's thoughts are similar, surely you can find other treasures; no need to fixate on me."

Si Tianli's excuse was indeed cunning, but even a dog wouldn't believe it.

He has been promoted by Ji Yuanfang since entering the military, how could he possibly rush to present a gift to the Emperor?

Han Zheng sneered, "General Si truly is loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

Fine, I won't interfere if you're digging up the Dragon Vein, send your gift as you wish.

But you must hand over Ren Tianying beside you.

Ren Tianying is the Garrison Commander of Southern Mountain; he has recklessly caused havoc in Southern Mountain, leading it to chaos, and has slain colleagues within the Youxin Ancient Country relic.

I'm a Patrol Envoy of the Demon Cleansing Bureau; when I arrived, the Grand Commander had already given me the right to execute without prior notice.

Ren Tianying, such a traitor, deserves to be executed!

As long as General Si hands over Ren Tianying, I won't concern myself with other matters."

Ren Tianying immediately looked at Si Tianli, whose expression was also somber.

He's not foolish; he could tell this was Han Zheng's attempt to sow discord.

He only had Ren Tianying as an ally by his side, if he truly handed him over to Han Zheng, wouldn't it be tantamount to surrendering?

Si Tianli shot Ren Tianying a reassuring glance and scoffed, "Han Zheng, do you think me a fool?

Ren Tianying is at least a Great Grandmaster at the Yang God Realm, Garrison Commander of Southern Mountain, and a high-ranking Demon Cleansing Bureau officer.

No matter how much the Grand Commander trusts you, how could he allow you to execute such a prominent figure without prior notice?"

Han Zheng stepped forward and said coldly, "You're not from the Demon Cleansing Bureau; how do you know the Grand Commander's thoughts?

Si Tianli, you're shielding a criminal of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, it's absolutely outrageous!"

With those words, Han Zheng stepped forward, surrounded by raging Blood Qi, Heaven Demon Transformation in hand, gathering Killing Intent Origin and surging Demonic Qi.

A singular slash descended, as if opening the Hell Gate!

Fengdu Netherworld Blade, Yama Slash!

Both sides knew that persuading one another to retreat with words was impossible, so they might as well settle matters with a real battle.

Behind Han Zheng, Yan Xuankong and the others also struck simultaneously, aiming at Si Tianli and Ren Tianying.

The next moment, Si Tianli let out a cold laugh, suddenly forming a Seal Technique with his hands.

Instantly, from the ground before Si Tianli, countless blood rays burst forth; twenty blood-colored figures emerged from underground, a wave of extreme ferocious Blood Evil Qi overwhelmed them.

Appearing before Han Zheng and his group were monsters trapped within blood-red armor.

These monsters stood several zhang tall, some bearing two heads, vicious and ghastly, like dried corpses.

Their bodies were entwined with flesh, emitting intensely powerful Qi Blood Power and Blood Evil Qi.

Their armor was embedded within the flesh, engraved with various sinister runes.

Just in terms of Qi Blood Power intensity, these monsters were no inferior to martial artists at the Yang God Realm!

Yan Xuankong's expression slightly changed, saying coldly, "Si Tianli, you dare secretly forge the Heavenly Evil Corpse Generals; you have some nerve!

If the court discovers your actions, a hundred lives wouldn't be enough; the military would want nothing more than to rip your head off!"

Si Tianli raised an eyebrow lightly, "Who are you, to know about the Heavenly Evil Corpse Generals?"
