I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

Although the situation in Smoke Wave Prefecture was chaotic, sects like the Lishan Sect, which had a heritage of hundreds of years, seldom encountered troubles.

However, in recent years, the only sect that had been exterminated was the Guiyuan Sword Pavilion, and now the Lishan Sect had been added to that list.

As soon as this happened, the entire Smoke Wave Prefecture was in an uproar.

No one expected that among the seven closely allied sects, a traitor would emerge!

Black Water Gang's Chen Jiuzhen, in alliance with the Demon Cleansing Bureau, annihilated the Lishan Sect, directly seizing control of the Lishan Sect's mountain gate, which naturally included those spiritual lands and mines.

Externally, Chen Jiuzhen claimed that the Lishan Sect had gone too far by killing their Black Water Gang brothers without giving any explanation, leaving him no choice but to seek justice from the Demon Cleansing Bureau personally.

With this incident, the reputation of the Black Water Gang boosted immensely, and many Loose Cultivators and Martial World people joined the Black Water Gang, significantly enhancing its internal cohesion.

After all, Chen Jiuzhen was worth these gang members risking their lives for, as he was willing to confront another major sect for his subordinates.

Upon Han Zheng's return to the Demon Cleansing Bureau, he naturally received a barrage of crazy flattery and praise.

For years, the Demon Cleansing Bureau in Smoke Wave Prefecture had been oppressed by these major sects and had had enough.

These sects never took the Demon Cleansing Bureau seriously, almost making it impossible for the bureau to operate within their spheres of influence.

They even dared to mock and sneer at the personnel of the Demon Cleansing Bureau when encountering them in the State Mansion.

The few times Liao Hongsheng had clashed with them were because the major sects had made insolent remarks that infuriated him.

But since the seven sects always united together, regardless of which one the Demon Cleansing Bureau confronted, the other six would timely lend their support.

Unless there was a grandmaster-level figure in the Demon Cleansing Bureau who could swiftly annihilate one sect to break the stalemate.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Han somehow persuaded Chen Jiuzhen, causing Black Water Gang to stand with them and jointly exterminate the Lishan Sect.

This incident finally allowed the Demon Cleansing Bureau to hold their heads high and breathe easy.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the other sects was extremely solemn.

At this moment, in the Yue Family, the remaining six sects were all gathered, discussing the extermination of the Lishan Sect.

Among the sects in the Martial World of Smoke Wave Prefecture, the Yuwen Family was the strongest, but they generally preferred not to take the lead, leaving the Yue Family to handle these matters.

Inside the Yue Family's Council Hall, Yuwen Kang frowned and said, "What exactly happened? Why would Chen Jiuzhen suddenly stand with the Demon Cleansing Bureau?

Did none of you hear anything about this alliance beforehand?"

Breaking Extreme Sect's Sect Master Tuoba Feng sneered, "How could they not have heard? Black Water Gang's members were slaughtered by the Lishan Sect, and of course, Chen Jiuzhen was angry.

He first went to Xuanyuan Cave to find Ji Tianhong, but was driven out. Then, he went to the Family Head of Yue Family, who also refused to get involved.

I don't know what you all told Chen Jiuzhen, but would he have chosen to ally with the Demon Cleansing Bureau if he had not been pushed to the limit?"

Ji Tianhong immediately bristled, "Tuoba Feng, what are you implying? Are you saying we drove Chen Jiuzhen to the side of the Demon Cleansing Bureau?"

Yue Qing looked coldly towards Tuoba Feng, "Sect Master Tuoba, are you blaming us? Who knew Chen Jiuzhen would choose to side with the Demon Cleansing Bureau just because of the death of two low-level gang members!"

Tuoba Feng sneered, "I'm not blaming you, but the vigilance of you, the Family Head, is really too low.

Chen Jiuzhen is, after all, a gang leader; if his men were killed and he didn't even fart about it, how could he face being a gang leader?

You underestimated Chen Jiuzhen before, and now that Han Zheng from the Demon Cleansing Bureau is obviously about to make a move on us, you still don't treat this matter seriously.

If it were me, and my subordinates were killed by an ally and no one would speak a word of justice for them, wouldn't you say that would chill his heart?"

Tuoba Feng, despite his rough and straightforward character, was also known for his loyalty and was highly respected among the disciples of the Breaking Extreme Sect.

Thus, after hearing about Chen Jiuzhen's situation, Tuoba Feng seemed somewhat sympathetic towards him.

If his disciples from the Breaking Extreme Sect were treated so cruelly, and someone tried to dismiss him with just one hundred taels, he would definitely grab weapons and wreak havoc!

If they insulted him like that, what would he care about allies?

"If Sect Master Tuoba is so sympathetic towards Chen Jiuzhen, why didn't you help Chen at this critical moment?"

Yue Qing's expression grew increasingly ugly.

"Chen Jiuzhen didn't come begging at my doorstep, but if he really had come begging, I would have indeed stepped in!"

Tuoba Feng was unyielding.

"Enough!"

Yuwen Kang suddenly slammed his fist on the table, instantly silencing everyone present.

Although the Yuwen Family kept a low profile in the Smoke Wave Prefecture, their strength was apparent, commanding respect from everyone.

"All this quarreling, do you think it resolves anything?"

Yuwen Kang usually had a scholarly demeanor, like that of a teacher.

Yet, when he grew angry, there was an imposing aura about him that captivated people's minds.

Taking a deep breath, Yuwen Kang said in a serious tone, "You should know that among the powers surrounding the Smoke Wave Prefecture, my Yuwen Family owns the least of the Court's spirit mines, and we don't rely on them to survive.

If the Demon Cleansing Bureau grows too powerful, then so be it—we could simply hand over those remaining spirit mines. What reason would they have left to trouble the Yuwen Family? They would probably have to treat us with utmost respect.

I came here today out of respect for the centuries-old alliance between our Sects. Yet all you do is quarrel. If that's the case, I will leave, and you can continue quarreling."

The moment everyone heard Yuwen Kang was about to leave, they panicked.

The Yuwen Family could give up those spirit mines, but they couldn't.

Their alliance could survive without the Black Water Gang or the Lishan Sect, but it absolutely could not afford to lose the strongest—Yuwen Family.

"Brother Yuwen, please calm down; things have been too sudden, and we are still reeling from the shock,"

said Yue Qing, typically very proud, now persuading Yuwen Kang.

Tuoba Feng, seeing Yuwen Kang speak up, let the matter go without further mockery, only curling his lip without saying much.

Wen Jingyun, the Family Head of the Wen Family, looked around and kept silent.

His family was the weakest, weaker even than the Black Water Gang, for he had no one as capable as Chen Jiuzhen.

Thus, the Wen Family mostly obeyed orders and held little say.

Yuwen Kang snorted coldly, "So, can we calmly discuss some solutions now?"

Yue Qing nodded and took a deep breath, "Driving Chen Jiuzhen away was indeed an oversight on my part; it's everyone's responsibility.

Let's set that aside for now; the deed is done, and finding a solution is what truly matters.

Han Zheng was all polite and friendly when he invited us to dinner last time, but it turned out he had a knife up his sleeve; he might have started plotting against us even back then!

He's different from Liao Hongsheng.

Liao Hongsheng, if he wanted to do us harm, would do so openly and not resort to the underhanded schemes that Han Zheng uses!

So, should we join forces now and demand an explanation from the Demon Cleansing Bureau?

With so many Grandmaster-level Martial Artists from our great Sects combined, neither Han Zheng nor the entire government office of the Smoke Wave Prefecture can stop us!"

Tuoba Feng scoffed, shaking his head, "It's too late; the Lishan Sect has been destroyed, the outcome is already fixed, what explanation do we still want?

The Demon Cleansing Bureau doesn't even admit to destroying the Lishan Sect. They only went to capture those who slaughtered the members of the Black Water Gang; the Fei Qingfeng couple were killed for harboring criminals, and it was the Black Water Gang who destroyed the Lishan Sect, the Demon Cleansing Bureau had nothing to do with it.

Do you think Han Zheng, having incited Chen Jiuzhen to do these things, aims to internally disrupt our alliance and would give us grounds to complain?

Sure, we could directly attack the headquarters of the Demon Cleansing Bureau and kill Han Zheng.

But, gentlemen, do you dare to do it? Do you dare to fully turn against the Demon Cleansing Bureau?"

Everyone present had a grim expression, nobody spoke.

Honestly, if Han Zheng truly went to extremes, they would dare to secretly kill him.

But to openly attack the government office of the Demon Cleansing Bureau? That was nearly tantamount to rebellion.

With their strength, it was certainly feasible, but the consequences...

One only had to look at the Guiyuan Sword Pavilion to know.
