I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

Since He Tianxiong dared to promise Ji Yuanfang to move against Han Zheng, he naturally prepared to face the consequences.

The rebellion in the North Sea cannot be quelled in just a day or two; historically, there were times it lasted for several years.

By the time the Grand Commander settles the North Sea rebellion, the entire Great Zhou's fate will change, and Han Zheng's grave will be covered in weeds. What is there to fear?

Just as He Tianxiong prepared to ignore Wei Tianqi and act again, an aged, chilling voice suddenly rang out.

"He Tianxiong, who granted you the authority to arrest such a Chief of the Thirteen Guards as Han Zheng without the Grand Commander's warrant? Simply because of your suspicion?

He Tianxiong, you're merely a Commander now; you can't monopolize the decisions of the Demon Cleansing Bureau!"

Guardian Elder Chu Tianyuan strode forward, his gaze coldly upon He Tianxiong.

Following Chu Tianyuan were two elderly men, their hair and beards completely white, the creases on their faces capable of trapping flies, and their aura emitted a decaying scent.

However, despite the decaying scent, their aura was extraordinarily powerful, revealing their Dharma Manifestation Realm stature!

The true foundational strength of the Demon Cleansing Bureau never lay on the surface.

Now at the Demon Cleansing Bureau headquarters, whether it's the Six Commanders or the Chief of the Thirteen Guards, they are almost all robust and youthful martial artists in the prime of life.

However, the martial artists who have entered old age have not disappeared; they merely entered the Elder Court for reclusive cultivation.

With the accumulation over the years, no one knows exactly how many powerful recluses are in the Elder Court, nor whether those figures who once dominated the Martial World are dead or alive.

These Elders will listen to no one's orders but the Grand Commander's.

On the surface, Qi Zhangwu controls the Demon Cleansing Bureau through the Thirteen Guards, but in reality, it relies on these reclusive Elders.

Don't be deceived by their dilapidated appearances; their desperate strikes remain terrifyingly formidable.

They have lived for hundreds of years and have long perceived their lives as fulfilling. When faced with foreign enemies, they go all out.

If one doesn't take you down, then two will; if not two, then three. Ultimately, facing a group of powerful elders at the end of their Life Span who are unafraid of death would make anyone tremble.

This is also why even a Regent like Ji Yuanfang doesn't dare directly act against Han Zheng at this point.

He also fears provoking those undying relics.

At this moment, He Tianxiong too showed a grim expression and sneered, "Elder Chu, the life or death of Ren Tianying, the Garrison Commander of the Southern Mountain, remains unknown. He was a Great Grandmaster of the Yang God Realm.

The fact that only Han Zheng returned after entering that relic with Ren Tianying must be thoroughly investigated, right?"

"Even if it needs investigation, it's for the Grand Commander to handle, not you, He Tianxiong!"

Chu Tianyuan directly took out a warrant, and with a stern voice said, "The Grand Commander left an order for Han Zheng to proceed to the Demon Suppression Pass for support, other matters to be discussed upon his return!"

Glancing at Han Zheng and then at Chu Tianyuan, He Tianxiong deliberated for a moment before sneering coldly and turned away to leave.

Guardian Elder Chu Tianyuan was not someone to be trifled with; though he appeared elderly, his strength had not truly diminished.

Facing Chu Tianyuan alone, He Tianxiong lacked confidence, let alone dealing with those two undying relics behind him.

Moreover, with the Grand Commander's warrant present, He Tianxiong had no grounds to continue detaining Han Zheng for any stated reason.

Upon He Tianxiong's departure, all attendees breathed a collective sigh of relief.

The pressure from a Dharma Manifestation Realm master was indeed overwhelming.

"Thank you, Elder Chu and Elder Wei, for your assistance,"

Han Zheng clasped his hands in gratitude towards Chu Tianyuan and Wei Tianqi.

Without their help, Han Zheng might have had to fight desperately.

In any case, he certainly wouldn't have surrendered easily.

Although Wei Tianqi didn't seem to intimidate He Tianxiong, without his delaying, Chu Tianyuan wouldn't have reached in time.

Wei Tianqi snorted lightly, "No need for courtesy, I came because of Little Wen's behalf.

Not to sound harsh, but your Demon Cleansing Bureau truly is something else, not only do you have internal conflicts, but you also disregard even the Observatory.

When your Grand Commander returns, I assure you, I'll report this incident to him!"

Han Zheng laughed bitterly; if the Grand Commander were here, He Tianxiong would not dare act as he did.

Chu Tianyuan sighed, "I never thought that He Tianxiong would be so narrow-minded and impatient.

The moment the Grand Commander left, he moved against you. He truly isn't afraid of future retribution when the Grand Commander returns."

Han Zheng narrowed his eyes, saying, "This Commander seems to have found a patron, which is why he naturally doesn't fear the Grand Commander."

From the moment He Tianxiong appeared, Han Zheng already speculated that he likely chose to side with Ji Yuanfang.

"Elder Chu, did the Grand Commander anticipate Ji Yuanfang and He Tianxiong's plot and therefore sent me to the Demon Suppression Pass in advance?"

Chu Tianyuan sighed and shook his head, "All of this happened too suddenly; not even the Grand Commander could foresee everything.

Under normal circumstances, given Your Majesty's health, nothing should go wrong, shielded by the Dragon Vein's Qi Fortune, what could possibly conspire against His Majesty?

However, before leaving, the Grand Commander sensed Ji Yuanfang's unusual movements and noticed unclear dealings with He Tianxiong.

Therefore, before departing, the Grand Commander left several blank warrants for me to fill in crucial moments to restrain He Tianxiong.

Upon learning about He Tianxiong's actions against you, I immediately thought of these warrants. Given the current state of the Capital City, you can only seek temporary refuge at the Demon Suppression Pass.

As for the perimeter of the North Sea's eye, it's sealed with an array formation. Once the Grand Commander and others enter, it will be sealed; no entry, no exit, to prevent the demon uprising from spreading, so you can't temporarily seek refuge with the Grand Commander.

The Demon Suppression Pass is unique; it has personnel from my Demon Cleansing Bureau, the Court, and other departments. Neither He Tianxiong nor Ji Yuanfang can extend their reach there, making it the perfect place for you to temporarily avoid trouble."

Han Zheng said gravely, "This matter is too coincidental. The Grand Commander was just drawn out of the Capital City by the North Sea demon uprising, and immediately after, His Majesty fell into a coma; could there be any connection between the two?"

Chu Tianyuan gently shook his head, "Unknown, but in theory, they shouldn't be able to influence the North Sea's eye.

Within the North Sea's eye, there's an array laid down by ancient Divine beings, and at the founding of the Great Zhou, Lord Yu Jiu, alongside Observatory personnel, laid another layer of array on the periphery.

Especially the outer array, it requires the tokens of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, Dragon Martial Bureau, and Observatory to open. Even if Ji Yuanfang wanted to tamper, he couldn't even activate the outermost array."

"By reason, perhaps so, but Ji Yuanfang's arrangements cannot be assessed by ordinary logic,"

Han Zheng said, explaining the events related to Si Tianli within the Youxin Ancient Country Relics to Chu Tianyuan.

Elder Chu Tianyuan was known for his integrity and forthrightness.

The Grand Commander entrusted him with blank warrants, allowing him to fill them at will, signifying the Grand Commander's complete trust in this Elder, so Han Zheng could naturally discuss these matters with Chu Tianyuan.

After hearing this, Chu Tianyuan also looked gravely serious.

Ji Yuanfang had been plotting for so many years, even involving the Dragon Vein's Qi Fortune.

In this light, perhaps he truly has a means to bypass the protection of the Great Zhou Dragon Vein and harm His Majesty!

Taking a deep breath, Chu Tianyuan said solemnly, "What you're saying is useful, but for now, it's all speculative without direct evidence, and Si Tianli is already dead. Even if this matter is spread throughout the Capital City, it would be futile; Ji Yuanfang can easily blame everything on the deceased.

Currently, the Second Prince, Ji Xuanjing, acts as Regent, with Ji Yuanfang holding regency.

This Second Prince trusts Ji Yuanfang greatly, entrusting almost all state affairs to him.

In this period, Ji Yuanfang practically has no equals legally.

With the Grand Commander absent and the Demon Cleansing Bureau leaderless, along with He Tianxiong colluding with Ji Yuanfang,

the only course for now is to remain low-key and endure, awaiting the Grand Commander's return.
