I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

After annihilating the Song Family, Han Zheng returned directly to Kai Ping Prefecture with his men, and immediately used the Hunger Level and Soul Crystal obtained from killing Song Tianya for cultivation to enhance his power.

Annihilating the Song Family was just an appetizer; the real battle is yet to come.

In this battle, he must reinstate the prestige of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, reclaiming the lost dignity due to Ren Tianying.

Han Zheng ordered Wen Tingyun to send the letters he had written previously to the Song Family, now individually to the Cang Mountain Sword Sect, Tiangang Sect, Xiling Pang Family, and Yanshan Wei Family.

Actually, there is another sect that also established a Magic Platform to expel the Demon Cleansing Bureau, which is the Xuanyang Martial Sect. However, the Xuanyang Martial Sect is relatively unique; Han Zheng plans to deliver their letter personally.

And at this moment, with the demise of the Song Family's Heaven Saber, a great uproar erupted across the Martial World of Southern Mountain.

Had Han Zheng annihilated a family like the Xiling Pang Family, it wouldn't have caused such a stir; it's really because the Song Family's Heaven Saber is exceptionally important.

Among the five major families in Southern Mountain, the Xiao Family with the Divine Spear and the Song Family with the Heaven Saber are nearly tied for first in strength. Though they haven't truly fought, most people view them as evenly matched.

Moreover, the Song Family's Heaven Saber has great potential, and many in the Martial World believe the Song Family is most likely to produce a Dharma Manifestation Realm expert and ascend to a top family of major power.

Yet now, within a single day, the Song Family's Heaven Saber was exterminated by the Demon Cleansing Bureau, which seemed weak and ineffectual but once again bared its fangs, immediately shaking the entire Southern Mountain Martial World.

It is only now that they remember, it appears that the Demon Cleansing Bureau is seemingly unbeatable.

Sixty years ago, during the crisis with the Black Mountain Demon, even the Demon Cleansing Bureau was hunted like rats, forced to hide underground, not daring to show their faces.

But with Chen Baxian's rise, he swiftly crushed the Black Mountain Demon with thunderous force, restoring the Demon Cleansing Bureau's prestige.

The same is true for the current Demon Cleansing Bureau; despite the Five Families and Seven Sects expelling the Demon Cleansing Bureau's forces from various state mansions, making it seem like stray dogs,

now, with Han Zheng's return and the Song Family's Heaven Saber's demise, the Demon Cleansing Bureau's power is once again deeply ingrained in the heart of the Southern Mountain Martial World.

Whenever the Demon Cleansing Bureau finds itself in a weaker position, as long as a sufficiently powerful governor resurfaces, the Demon Cleansing Bureau can restore its majesty.

And once these Martial World forces get annihilated, they have no chance to rise again.

Just as the entire Southern Mountain Martial World was discussing this matter, Han Zheng finished absorbing the gains from killing Song Tianya and went to Xuanyang Martial Sect together with Xu Cunbao.

Among the Five Families and Seven Sects that chose to establish a Magic Platform, the Xuanyang Martial Sect was the last to start, and they didn't really make it difficult for the populace.

Other forces directly expelled the Demon Cleansing Bureau's forces from various state mansions, but the Xuanyang Martial Sect didn't take action to expel them.

However, by then, the chaos from the Smell Fragrance Sect had already begun to escalate, and Xu Cunbao had no one available, so he withdrew the Xuanjia Guards within the Xuanyang Martial Sect's territory.

In the end, the Night Sky God Venerable attacked Kai Ping Prefecture, and the withdrawn Xuanjia Guards suffered heavy losses, never to return.

Among the forces that established Magic Platforms, some must be exterminated, while some can be negotiated with.

The Xuanyang Martial Sect is the one Han Zheng wants to negotiate with, acting as a spearhead in the center of the other Five Families and Seven Sects.

Han Zheng is very confident in persuading them over, especially after the annihilation of the Song Family's Heaven Saber.

Moreover, the Xuanyang Martial Sect's identity is inherently special, as its founder was a warlord with territorial control in the early days of Great Zhou's establishment, and actually had a hostile relationship with Great Zhou.

Later, the city occupied by the Xuanyang Martial Sect was breached by a powerful demon, but that demon was eventually slain by Martial Saint Yu Jiu.

Yu Jiu persuaded the Xuanyang Martial Sect's founder to join Great Zhou, but the founder refused to work for Great Zhou, stating that avenging him was Yu Jiu's doing, owing a favor to Yu Jiu, not to Great Zhou.

So ultimately, although the Xuanyang Martial Sect's founder did not officially join Great Zhou, he followed Yu Jiu to fight for Great Zhou, sweeping away demons and suppressing the Martial World.

He even contributed significantly to the early establishment of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

Now, some of the founders venerated within the Demon Cleansing Bureau were brothers with the Xuanyang Martial Sect's founder.

Thus, with such connections, it's not surprising that when everyone else began expelling the Demon Cleansing Bureau, the Xuanyang Martial Sect made no moves.

Moreover, even though late in the game, the Xuanyang Martial Sect established a Magic Platform to make the populace bow, they did it after observing that others did it without consequences, and cautiously started.

They did not treat their people overly harshly, but instead exchanged money and food for them to voluntarily offer daily bows.

This was somewhat akin to how elderly people in the previous life would worship God for free eggs.

At this moment within the Xuanyang Martial Sect, Sect Master Fang Canghai and over ten elders sat in the Council Hall, frowning and looking at each other.

"Everyone, speak up. Han Zheng and Xu Cunbao from the Demon Cleansing Bureau are waiting in the reception hall; we can't just keep avoiding them."

Fang Canghai appeared to be over fifty, big-built with a full beard, looking rugged yet in reality, he was meticulous and cautious, not reckless.

Upon hearing of Han Zheng and Xu Cunbao's arrival, his heart skipped a beat, thinking this spelled trouble.

Had the Demon Cleansing Bureau visited earlier, it would've made no difference; the Xuanyang Martial Sect wouldn't fear the opposite side.

But now the Song Family's Heaven Saber was just annihilated, and the Demon Cleansing Bureau arrived, could this be good?

The actions done by the Song Family were also done by the Xuanyang Martial Sect, just not as overtly and excessively.

So is the Demon Cleansing Bureau visiting to cause trouble this time?

An elder, white-haired and clearly of advanced age, shakily stood up and said, "Sect Master, I think we should just meet them; if it's fortune or misfortune, it won't evade us.

Since things have been done, regretting now is too late.

Furthermore, I believe that Han Zheng isn't here to initiate a fight; otherwise, the Demon Cleansing Bureau's army would be here instead of just these two.

Besides, our Xuanyang Martial Sect's forebears had connections with the Demon Cleansing Bureau; it's unlikely they'd annihilate us like they did the Song Family."

Fang Canghai sighed, "I also know they probably aren't here to fight, but I'm struggling with what stance to adopt towards the Demon Cleansing Bureau. Whatever, we'll deal with it as it comes."

With that, Fang Canghai got up and went into the reception hall.

Seeing Fang Canghai, Xu Cunbao stood up smiling, "Sect Master Fang, it's been years since we've met. Hope all is well?"

"Master Xu is as vigorous as ever."

Fang Canghai smiled, "I wonder what brings the esteemed Han and Master Xu to my Xuanyang Martial Sect today?"

"To save your life, Sect Master Fang!"

Han Zheng suddenly spoke, expressionless.

Fang Canghai's expression immediately changed, "Master Han, what do you mean by this?"

"Just as it sounds."

Han Zheng sneered, "The Song Family constructed a cult Magic Platform, demanding people's worship, and even expelled the Demon Cleansing Bureau and the government. Such actions are akin to rebellion--a crime deserving execution, hence their annihilation by our Demon Cleansing Bureau!

Your Xuanyang Martial Sect did not act so excessively as the Song Family, but you established Magic Platforms and demanded people's worship--what the Song Family did, your Xuanyang Martial Sect did almost identically.

So, the Song Family was exterminated; can your Xuanyang Martial Sect remain unscathed?"

Han Zheng suddenly slammed the table, emanating a chilling aura throughout.

The aura was so potent that even Fang Canghai, in the Yang God Realm, felt a touch of coldness.

Upon hearing this, Fang Canghai's face immediately darkened.

Indeed, the annihilation of the Song Family's Heaven Saber by the Demon Cleansing Bureau instilled some fear in Fang Canghai.

The power of the Song Family's Heaven Saber was admittedly much stronger than his Xuanyang Martial Sect, yet they were exterminated in a day, naturally, his Xuanyang Martial Sect couldn't withstand the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

But the inability to withstand doesn't mean his Xuanyang Martial Sect, being one of the Five Families and Seven Sects, would endure humiliation willingly!

"So, Master Han, is today about exterminating my Xuanyang Martial Sect? Very well, my Xuanyang Martial Sect will face the challenge head-on!"

Suddenly, Fang Canghai's aura erupted, blazing fiercely like fire, confronting Han Zheng directly.
