I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 127: Great Wisdom
Guan Hongtu looked at Han Zheng, slightly surprised.
He had thought he was the only one to have found this place.
Clutching his fist, Guan Hongtu laughed loudly, "Boy from the Demon Cleansing Bureau, I don't know whether you are lucky or unlucky.
This treasure belongs to me, Guan Hongtu. Do not contend for it, otherwise, I will not hold back.
A few hundred taels of silver as your monthly salary from the Demon Cleansing Bureau isn't worth your desperate struggle."
Guan Hongtu's boast was arrogant, but it was different from Guo Zhen's kind of arrogance.
His was filled with intense self-confidence; he truly believed that Han Zheng was no match for him, and although fortunate to have found this place, was destined not to obtain the treasure.
The young talents of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, like Su Wuming, Guan Hongtu was aware of, but they definitely did not include the likes of the man before him.
He had absolute confidence that, apart from levels such as Su Wuming's, he considered everyone else beneath his notice.
"No need to fight desperately against the likes of you. Sometimes, too much confidence can lead to a very miserable end."
Han Zheng shook his head lightly; the Autumn Water Shocking Swallow was already in his hand.
Guan Hongtu was a straightforward person.
Their elders in the sect would still find an excuse, saying they came for vengeance on behalf of someone.
He, on the other hand, made it clear that he was directly after the treasure.
Just then, Han Zheng suddenly called out in a cold voice toward the entrance, "Who's there? Come out!"
Pang Wanchun walked into the hall with a big laugh, "I didn't expect both of you to be so quick."
Han Zheng frowned slightly, "Did you also interrogate the Blood Wolf Thieves to find your way here?"
Pang Wanchun said in surprise, "Don't tell me you didn't? You just wandered here by chance?"
After a moment of silence, Han Zheng suddenly said, "This treasure will belong to the two of you. Fight over it if you must, I'm withdrawing."
Intuition told Han Zheng that something was off!
Initially, Han Zheng didn't think much of it. Chou Jingxiao, cunning as a fox with many hides, would normally make such arrangements.
But after arriving here, Han Zheng felt something was wrong.
The hiding place for the treasure was too crudely set up.
Perhaps it could be explained by the Demon Cleansing Bureau's sudden arrival, giving Chou Jingxiao no time to prepare.
But now that Guan Hongtu and Pang Wanchun had also found this place, there would likely be more people following. Then Chou Jingxiao might as well surrender the treasure directly.
Maybe Han Zheng was just being paranoid, but it never hurt to be cautious.
As long as he hadn't left the Julong Cave, who would ultimately end up with the treasure remained an open question.
Pang Wanchun looked at Han Zheng deeply, "This brother from the Demon Cleansing Bureau is quite cunning, planning to wait until Guan and I are both significantly weakened before you swoop in to take advantage?"
Following that, Pang Wanchun turned abruptly to Guan Hongtu, "Brother Guan, since the Demon Cleansing Bureau and us are not allies, how about we deal with this Xuanjia Guard first, and then decide the victor between us?"
Guan Hongtu crossed his arms over his chest and said indifferently, "It's beneath me, Guan, for two people to gang up on a lowly Xuanjia Guard. If you want to make a move, do it yourself."
Pang Wanchun smiled and looked toward Han Zheng, "My friend, it seems you are hoping to profit as the fisherman, but you may have miscalculated."
"So, it means even if I want to leave, I can't?" Han Zheng spread his hands, looking rather helpless toward the smart aleck.
These two guys were something else.
Guan Hongtu was clearly too confident, a simpleton with more brawn than brains.
Pang Wanchun seemed carefree on the surface, but in reality, he was full of ambition and desire. No matter what Han Zheng would say, he thought the other had ulterior motives.

In reality, Han Zheng simply didn't want to fall into a trap, and he even doubted whether Chou Jingxiao would have actually hidden the treasure here.
"Just because I have no plans to play the fisherman and seize the treasure later, how could I possibly let you go and bring others from the Demon Cleansing Bureau?"
Pang Wanchun's face wore a smile, but he was relentless in his actions.
His palm launched an attack and the tremendous True Qi within his palm converged, shimmering with starlight as vast as the Milky Way.
Pang Family from Xilin County's Hanhai Star Technique, renowned in the Martial World for its robust and substantial Inner Strength True Qi, allowed Innate Realm Pang Family martial artists to wield power almost rivaling those in the Xuan Gang Realm.
Han Zheng sneered, as the immense Demonic Qi cultivated from the Great Black Heaven Demon Technique gathered around him, making him seem like a Heavenly Demon descending, with his power mighty and overpowering, far surpassing that of Pang Wanchun.
Simultaneously, Han Zheng's vitality and muscles swelled as he executed Dragon Elephant Prison, adding Divine Power to his frame.
With a punch, the tremendous force even caused the air to emit a piercing shriek.
Pang Wanchun's expression suddenly changed in that instant.
Even Guan Hongtu, who stood to the side with his arms crossed, apparently too lazy to bother with these matters, looked on in shock.
To prevent attracting the attention of others, Han Zheng had kept his aura retracted all this time.
Now when he suddenly erupted with such a fierce and violent aura, it was as if he transformed from a harmless little rabbit into a man-eating demon!
As fist met palm, Pang Wanchun immediately felt an astounding force surge towards him.
He couldn't help but grunt, his body's Hanhai Star Technique True Qi violently increased to resist, but he still involuntarily retreated three steps before he could withstand Han Zheng's shockingly powerful punch.
Han Zheng was also slightly surprised as he watched Pang Wanchun.
Pang Wanchun was not weak; he had actually reached the Half-step Xuan Gang Realm.
"Who exactly are you!?"
Pang Wanchun looked at Han Zheng, his face filled with shock.
He knew all the strong, younger generation members of the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department, but definitely none were like the person before him.
"Demon Cleansing Department's Kui Character Camp, Han Zheng."
"Demon Cleansing Department's double scourge!"
Han Zheng's expression suddenly darkened.
Which idiot had come up with this nickname for him, and could it be any more unpleasant?
At first, this nickname was only circulated within the Demon Cleansing Department; how had it spread to the outside world?
In fact, what Han Zheng did not know was that his reputation might be somewhat unfamiliar to the ordinary people of the Martial World in Southern Mountain, but it was well-known to top sects like the Xiling Pang Family.
In the beginning, when Han Zheng and Su Wuming annihilated two families, it was to intimidate the Martial World forces in Southern Mountain.
It was to let them know that even if the Demon Cleansing Department were reduced to one person, they had the power to destroy a sect.
Thus, the names of Han Zheng and Su Wuming were already familiar to all the major sects, and especially the man-killing and heart-harrowing Han Zheng, whose deeds were far more intense than mere slaughter, like the horrible state the Feng Family was left in.
However, the reputation was not very good; in the eyes of the major forces of the Martial World, Han Zheng was a new and ruthless falcon raised by the Demon Cleansing Department, utterly cruel.
"So you are the Han Zheng who wiped out the Feng Family in Xilin County, a man of equal fame to Su Wuming! No wonder you have such strength!"
Pang Wanchun put away his previously somewhat frivolous demeanor.
A long sword, shimmering with brilliant light, appeared in his hand, the boundless sword force radiating towards Han Zheng.
Of course, an ordinary Xuanjia Guard was not worthy of his full attention.
But a young and talented member of the Demon Cleansing Department who was on par with Su Wuming deserved his utmost effort.
Han Zheng's Autumn Water Shocking Swallow in his hand was enveloped in Blood Slaughter Demon Qi, the jet-black sword light undulating and falling, the black-and-red sword light tearing through the sky full of stars, instantly overpowering Pang Wanchun.
The Pang Family of Xiling was known for their secret technique, the Hanhai Star Technique, and their disciples wielded all manner of weapons, but Pang Wanchun was skilled with the sword.
Still, his swordmanship was certainly not as sharp as the Cang Mountain Sword Sect's Sword Dao Thirteen Character True Technique; almost as soon as they crossed swords, his sword force was suppressed by Han Zheng.
The resounding clang of the swords colliding echoed as Pang Wanchun's figure staggered back step by step, becoming increasingly alarmed.
Why did he feel that Han Zheng's sword skill had the aura of the Song Family's Heavenly Sword?
That seemingly simple slash contained a myriad of changes—one slash to break a myriad of techniques. No matter how his sword force changed, he had to switch his sword force and resist with all his might when Han Zheng's slash fell.
But the Song Family's Heavenly Sword was a secret technique; how could outsiders learn it? Especially the essence of the Heavenly Sword, without the personal transmission of the Song Family elders, none of the Song Family disciples could comprehend it.
The Hanhai Star Technique of the Xiling Pang Family achieved fame in the Martial World for its strong and substantial power, so even if the Pang Family was somewhat lacking in martial skills, they could completely rely on strength to overpower others.
Yet today, Pang Wanchun encountered Han Zheng, whose strength was far greater than his.
The advantages of the Hanhai Star Technique were completely suppressed; after a dozen exchanges, he had not gained the slightest upper hand!
Pang Wanchun felt his heart sink; he couldn't keep fighting like this!
He had wanted to kick Han Zheng out of the running before, to prevent Han Zheng from reaping the benefits.
If the fight continued like this, it would be Guan Hongtu who would reap the benefits — although he felt that Guan Hongtu didn't have the brains for it.
"Guan Hongtu! If you don't join in now, this treasure will truly belong to the Demon Cleansing Department!"
Guan Hongtu snorted coldly, looking at Han Zheng, a formidable fighting spirit flaring up within him.
He was a martial addict, who would always fight with his peers in the sect.
Whereas Pang Wanchun was worried about his position as the successor, Guan Hongtu was not afraid.
Because amongst his peers in the sect, all those who had sparred with him were thoroughly beaten and dared not utter a word of dissent.
"You get out of the way, I will fight him!
I, Guan Hongtu, do not have the habit of ganging up on someone!"
