I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

Han Zheng confronted Fang Canghai, and Xu Cunbao quickly stepped between the two, urgently saying to Han Zheng, "Lord Han, didn't we agree before coming that the Xuanyang Martial Sect has ties with our Demon Cleansing Bureau's predecessors, unlike the other Five Families and Seven Sects? We can't just fight and kill like this."

After speaking, Xu Cunbao looked at Fang Canghai again, "Sect Master Fang, you're the same, why are you so agitated? If our Demon Cleansing Bureau truly wanted to annihilate your Xuanyang Martial Sect, would only the two of us have come?"

Hearing what Xu Cunbao said, Fang Canghai sighed in relief.

He didn't know Han Zheng well, only aware that Han Zheng also came from the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department, had gained a great reputation at the Capital Demon Suppression Department headquarters, and upon returning to Southern Mountain, destroyed the Song Family of Sky Blade with his formidable power and ruthless methods.

However, Xu Cunbao had spent his entire life in Southern Mountain and had some ties with both sides. This old gentleman was honest and trustworthy.

"Since that's the case, Lord Han, what do you mean?"

Han Zheng said indifferently, "I meant exactly what I said overtly.

Sect Master Fang, you have also set up a Magic Platform, using that golden cube to absorb power. You must have felt your progress accelerate recently, right?

But do you know what its side effects are?"

Fang Canghai replied indifferently, "The side effect is being labeled as a cult and betrayal by your Demon Cleansing Bureau?"

Han Zheng let out a cold laugh and directly took out the corpse of the Night Sky God Venerable from the Qiankun Bag.

"Lord Han, what do you mean by this? A threat?"

Fang Canghai's expression changed.

Xu Cunbao quickly said from the side, "Sect Master Fang, don't get agitated yet, take a careful look at what's different about this Night Sky God Venerable's corpse."

Fang Canghai looked at the corpse, at first indifferent, but in the end, his brows knit tightly.

Xu Cunbao sighed, "How could power that comes so easily be something good?"

Then, Xu Cunbao recounted Wen Tingyun's previous investigation to Fang Canghai.

"Sect Master Fang, some of the actions taken by certain members of the Five Families and Seven Sects are simply self-destructive.

Currently, the chaos in Southern Mountain is already apparent, and my Demon Cleansing Bureau must address this. The Song Family of Sky Blade was just the most high-profile, which is why they were the first to be destroyed.

Originally, the Demon Cleansing Bureau was prepared to act against all forces that established Magic Platforms. It was I who told Lord Han that the Xuanyang Martial Sect was different from other forces, as our ancestors had deep ties.

Moreover, the Xuanyang Martial Sect has not truly expelled the people of my Demon Cleansing Bureau, so it cannot be equated with other sects."

Xu Cunbao looked at Fang Canghai and sighed, "Sect Master Fang, when Lord Han says he's here to save you, he truly means to save you. Otherwise, it wouldn't be just the two of us here today, but the entire army of the Demon Cleansing Bureau."

Previously firm, Fang Canghai's complexion changed after seeing the Night Sky God Venerable's corpse.

He truly hadn't expected the consequences of this evil artifact to be so severe.

Fang Canghai extended his hand, condensing gang into a blade, and cut a deep slice into his own arm, revealing the bone.

While his bones weren't as severely affected as the Night Sky God Venerable's, they were already showing signs of that direction.

Fang Canghai's heart sank, and he quickly clasped his hands, "Thank you, Lord Han and Old Lord Xu, for informing me. I truly hadn't realized how silently this evil artifact had eroded my body. I hadn't noticed it all this time!

Rest assured, I will dismantle that Magic Platform, disperse the people, and destroy these evil artifacts. I will never use them again!"

Han Zheng waved his hand, expressionless, "That's not enough! Sect Master Fang, some things are done and now regretting it is too late.

The Demon Cleansing Bureau needs an explanation, and even if you stop now, it won't be sufficient!"

"Then, Lord Han, what more do you want?"

Fang Canghai furrowed his brow slightly.

"It's very simple. After I destroyed the Song Family of Sky Blade, the other forces of the Five Families and Seven Sects are sure to join together to target my Demon Cleansing Bureau. I just need the Xuanyang Martial Sect to pretend I never came and step in at the crucial moment, and that will suffice."

"You want me to act as a traitor?"

Xu Cunbao interjected from the side, "Sect Master Fang, you're confused; you've never stood with them, so how can there be betrayal?

The other sects brought it upon themselves, deserving punishment. The Xuanyang Martial Sect still has a sliver of hope; why be with them and engage in such head-risking trades?

Sect Master Fang, convincing Lord Han wasn't due to my own dignity but relying on the respect the Xuanyang Martial Sect's ancestors have for our Demon Cleansing Bureau's forebearers!

Connections diminish with use. It's already heaven's blessing that the connections left by the ancestors of the Xuanyang Martial Sect can protect the sect today. Will you refuse it, Sect Master Fang?"

Han Zheng and Xu Cunbao played their roles perfectly, one as the intimidating figure, the other gently persuading, driving Fang Canghai's mental state to collapse.

Of course, all this was based on absolute strength.

If not for Han Zheng's astonishing achievement of destroying the Song Family, Fang Canghai wouldn't have been intimidated, and he wouldn't pay them any mind.

Before Han Zheng annihilated the Song Family, no one believed the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Bureau had regained the power to destroy the Five Families and Seven Sects.

Without much thought, Fang Canghai let out a bitter laugh, "I agree, but just hope Lord Han keeps his word and doesn't involve the Xuanyang Martial Sect."

Han Zheng waved his hand, "Rest assured, Sect Master Fang, I, Han Zheng, am known for keeping my word. If the Xuanyang Martial Sect stands with us this time, I promise that past grievances and merits will cancel each other out, and the Xuanyang Martial Sect will not be implicated."

Fang Canghai sighed helplessly, now left to gamble on Han Zheng's integrity, hoping he would follow through on his words.

"But Lord Han, this matter seemingly doesn't require a bloody battle. You can simply reveal the corpse of the Night Sky God Venerable, letting them examine their bodies. I believe they will also find their way back."

Fang Canghai still wanted to negotiate, hoping to avoid a confrontation, so he wouldn't have to get involved.

Han Zheng stood up and said indifferently, "As I said earlier, some things once done, require consequences. People must pay the price for their actions.

Some have drawn in the Smell Fragrance Sect, causing chaos throughout Southern Mountain, leading to countless deaths upon smelling the fragrance.

Some have expelled the Demon Cleansing Bureau, trampling on our authority.

Some have forced people to worship and sacrifice, acting more cruelly than demons.

If these individuals don't repay blood debts with blood, where is justice? What is the Demon Cleansing Bureau's purpose?"

After finishing, Han Zheng pulled Xu Cunbao and left.

Outside the Xuanyang Martial Sect, Han Zheng exchanged a knowing smile with Xu Cunbao, everything unspoken.

Meanwhile, on the side of the Xuanyang Martial Sect, Fang Canghai had just seen off Han Zheng and Xu Cunbao when, the next day, he received news from the Cang Mountain Sword Sect.

The Sect Leader of Cang Mountain Sword Sect, 'Profound Heaven Thirteen Sword' Zuo Hanyu, invited him to Cang Mountain Sword Sect for a meeting.

Looking at the invitation in his hand, Fang Canghai clenched his teeth, having already made a decision in his heart.

The founder of the Xuanyang Martial Sect had ties with the Demon Cleansing Bureau, so he was even more aware of the Bureau's power.

Since he wasn't heavily involved in this matter, and now that the Bureau had proven that the Magic Platform and the golden cube were evil artifacts, it was naturally imperative to extricate the Xuanyang Martial Sect first.

Three days later, when Fang Canghai arrived at the Cang Mountain Sword Sect, the leaders of the Pang Family of Xiling, Pang Tianze, the Wei Family of Yanshan, Wei Yanxing, and the Tiangang Sect Leader, Nie Yangcheng, had all arrived.

The expressions on these three people's faces were also somewhat grave, as the destruction of the Song Family had evidently placed immense pressure on them.

Fang Canghai greeted them, and then he was invited into a secret chamber by the people of the Cang Mountain Sword Sect.

In the chamber, a middle-aged man, handsome and elegant, yet with a tinge of sinister aura, was already waiting.

He was the Sect Leader of the Cang Mountain Sword Sect, once the first swordsman of Southern Mountain, 'Profound Heaven Thirteen Sword' Zuo Hanyu.

"Everyone, the Demon Cleansing Bureau is pressing us closely, having already annihilated the Song Family and mercilessly exterminated the clan. It's clear they intend to leave us no way out."

Zuo Hanyu's gaze swept over those present and said sternly, "The only plan now is self-rescue! Kill Han Zheng, destroy the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Bureau. Since they accuse us of rebellion, let's truly show them rebellion!"
