I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

Upon hearing Han Zheng say that Mo Tianxing was suspicious, everyone was taken aback.

Although they had only met him once, they all had a rather good impression of Mo Tianxing.

Compared to his father, Mo Gaowen, Mo Tianxing's demeanor was at least somewhat more humanlike.

"Why? Although Mo Tianxing did resist our investigation of Asking Sword Manor, his behavior still seemed quite normal," Ye Liuyun asked puzzledly.

"It's precisely because he acted too normally that it appeared abnormal," Han Zheng replied.

Han Zheng glanced back at Asking Sword Manor and continued indifferently, "You all have seen for yourselves what Asking Sword Manor is like. Everyone there has been spoiled rotten, indulging in luxury without ambition.

Do they still resemble martial artists in the slightest? As Luo Daoren, I would never choose to collaborate with such failures who are more likely to botch things than to achieve them.

Within the entire Asking Sword Manor, only Mo Tianxing displayed a semblance of normalcy. Though his power seems a bit inflated, possibly enhanced by external forces, he at least shows signs of diligent cultivation compared to the other warriors of Asking Sword Manor.

If Luo Daoren wanted to persuade a Martial World force to align with him, he would have to offer them substantial incentives.

Do you think any of those degenerates in Asking Sword Manor, who are lost in a stupor of luxury, would care about what Luo Daoren has to offer?

Mo Tianxing, compared to them, is no failure. He has ambition and intelligence, which is why he's the most susceptible to Luo Daoren's influence within Asking Sword Manor.

Of course, this is just my speculation.

However, our visit today to Asking Sword Manor might have startled the snake. If Mo Tianxing indeed has ties with Luo Daoren, he would have to relay the information today.

We'll wait outside Asking Sword Manor all night, and I believe we'll soon have our answers."

Luo Daoren, as a confidant of the Black Mountain Demon, mastered several ways to lure people.

Yan Xuankong said that the Black Mountain Demon's methods were simple—just two words: desires.

Luo Daoren employed the same tactics.

Ironically, if you're like a resigned 'salted fish' with no desires, then Luo Daoren, despite his many schemes, can do nothing against you.

The more you desire, the deeper you fall into his traps.

Mo Gaowen is such a person without desires; thus, he can afford to be wildly arrogant because someone always covers for him.

Han Zheng could see that Mo Tianxing harbored desires; naturally, Luo Daoren could see this too. Thus, Mo Tianxing was the most suspicious person within Asking Sword Manor.

Although Ye Liuyun and the others were still somewhat incredulous, they subconsciously trusted Han Zheng; whatever he suggested was always possible.

Therefore, the four did not return to Taishan Prefecture but stayed to ambush outside the valley of Asking Sword Manor.

It was not until midnight that a figure dressed in black left Asking Sword Manor and headed west.

And judging by his build, it was Mo Tianxing!

Ye Liuyun couldn't help but give Han Zheng a glance—it had turned out just as Han Zheng predicted.

However, the west was not part of Taishan Prefecture; where was he going?

The four followed Mo Tianxing but dared not get too close.

To catch a thief, one needs to catch the loot; to expose adultery, one needs to catch the couple; right now, they couldn't confirm if Mo Tianxing had indeed colluded with Luo Daoren, so it was not yet time to take action.

Mo Tianxing sped along for nearly two hours and arrived at a dense forest.

Walking along a small path through the forest, they suddenly came upon a brightly lit area full of tall buildings and courtyards.

It turned out to be a workshop hidden in the forest. However, there were no residents, only brothels, gambling houses, and bustling restaurants everywhere.

Zhang Jiangbei whispered, "This is Joyful Forest, built collectively by prominent merchants from Taishan Prefecture and the surrounding counties. Simply put, it's a den of vice for wealthier classes, and even members of major martial factions enjoy indulging here.

As you know, some reputable martial elders value their reputations, and visiting brothels directly in Taishan Prefecture could lead to being spotted and tarnish their reputations.

But here in Joyful Forest, everyone is here for fun, and no one would spread word of that. There are even some thrilling new activities available here.

People from Asking Sword Manor, who live dreamily, also like coming here to enjoy themselves. It seems quite normal for Mo Tianxing to be here."

Ye Liuyun looked strangely at Zhang Jiangbei, "You people from Taishan Prefecture know how to enjoy yourselves; we don't have these kinds of places in Kai Ping Prefecture."

Han Zheng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Follow him and see."

Mo Tianxing's presence here was ordinary, but him sneaking in made it look suspicious.

Yet, that wasn't the main point; mainly, Han Zheng felt like he had too easily grasped Asking Sword Manor's negligence.

"If Asking Sword Manor really was the contingency arranged by Master Luo, weren't their actions a bit too lax?"

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Han Zheng and the others continued to follow Mo Tianxing.

After arriving at Joyful Forest, Mo Tianxing put on a simple white mask, revealing only his eyes.

It was common for some people in Joyful Forest to not want their faces seen, so wearing a mask to hide one's appearance was normal, nothing strange.

They made their way to a restaurant that wasn't doing well, where Mo Tianxing handed a token to the young server, who hastily said, "Young Master, please, your private room has been kept ready for you. Would you like to order any food?"

"No need, no one is allowed to disturb us."

Mo Tianxing whispered an order and went straight to the top floor of the restaurant, entering the private room.

This particular private room at the top of the restaurant was reserved year-round by Mo Tianxing.

Inside the private room, Mo Tianxing took out a stick of incense.

This incense was pitch black and when lit, it produced no visible smoke, only a faint, strange fragrance wafted through the air.

Gently lifting the window, Mo Tianxing paced anxiously within the private room.

As he moved from one side to the other and looked back, a figure in a black robe was already sitting at the table, appearing out of nowhere.

The entire figure was shrouded in the black robe, and Master Luo's voice came from beneath it.

"I told you, it's best not to contact me unless necessary."

Mo Tianxing quickly walked up to Master Luo, his face twisted with anger. "I didn't want to contact you! But the agents from the Demon Cleansing Bureau have already come knocking!

What did you say before? That you could support Asking Sword Manor's resurgence.

But now, not a shadow of resurgence is seen, and first, we are suspected by the Demon Cleansing Bureau!

That Jade-faced Young Master is one of your people, right? I knew I couldn't trust you Demons! You've exposed Asking Sword Manor first!

Commander Han Zheng from Kui Character Camp came knocking this morning, and I managed to send them away using the prestige of Washing Sword Pavilion.

But I see that Han Zheng is not easy to deal with, and he will surely not let this matter rest!

So, what should we do now? You haven't fulfilled what you promised, and Asking Sword Manor has already fallen into a crisis!"

Master Luo's tone mixed with a hint of impatience. "What are you rushing for? I told you before, for Asking Sword Manor to rise again, you have to wait for the right moment.

When the Black Mountain Demon King sweeps over Southern Mountain, and the whole situation turns chaotic, that's when Asking Sword Manor will have a chance.

Even if I could help you eliminate Washing Sword Pavilion now, do you think your current strength at Asking Sword Manor is enough to replace them?

And you ask me what to do now? You've already messed up the situation, what more can I do?"

"Who are you calling an idiot!?"

Mo Tianxing glared at Master Luo.

He was somewhat more scheming compared to others in Asking Sword Manor, but only just.

In reality, he was still just a pampered young master who could not hide his emotions well, completely enraged by Master Luo's remark.

Master Luo coldly snorted, "Of course, I'm calling you an idiot!

Did Han Zheng and his Kui Character Camp come to search Asking Sword Manor? Did they say you were to be executed?

They have no evidence, they only wanted your cooperation in the investigation, so what's the rush?

With the protection of Washing Sword Pavilion, as soon as the Demon Cleansing Bureau decides to force their hand, Washing Sword Pavilion will surely intervene. Wouldn't it be good to let them fight among themselves?

Han Zheng's visit today was merely to stir the grass and startle the snake, to test the waters.

And yet, you, this idiot, got scared and hurried here to find me.

Now, good job, your movements have definitely been discovered by Han Zheng and his men.

What originally could not be confirmed without evidence, is now botched by your foolery!"

"You mean Han Zheng and his men have been following me? They didn't go back to Taishan Prefecture?"

Mo Tianxing was suddenly startled.

Master Luo scoffed disdainfully, "Han Zheng, come out. Your Demon Cleansing Bureau's nose is quite sharp, stop hiding."

As his words fell, the roof instantly shattered, and Han Zheng and three others directly dropped into the private room, surrounding Master Luo and his group in the center.

Mo Tianxing's complexion instantly turned deathly pale.
