I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 143 Fox Demon
Within Yunhe Manor, aside from those engaged in combat, everyone was stunned.
At first, when Han Zheng had insisted they stay for three days to drive out the Demons, most had taken it as a joke.
If no Demons were driven out after three days, they definitely planned to give Han Zheng a piece of their minds at the Demon Cleansing Bureau headquarters.
Who could have guessed that Yao Zijing, with his volatile temperament, would suddenly take action — and that his fiancee, Ling Xian'er, was the Demon!
Han Zheng had been right after all; the Demon had been hiding among them all along!
With so many Martial Artists present, including Tang Youde, who had been in the Martial World his entire life, no one had realized that Ling Xian'er was a transformed Demon, which was truly terrifying.
The power of Demons differed from that of Human Warriors, and she had managed to hide her Demon Energy so perfectly. If she had harbored ill intentions and attacked suddenly, who could have reacted in time?
Moreover, there were many who envied Yao Zijing, such as Pang Wanchun.

Despite the Pang Family of Xiling being stronger than the Guiyuan Sword Sect, he faced immense pressure within his family.
Yao Zijing was the only direct disciple of the Sect Leader of the Guiyuan Sword Pavilion, Yin Taiqing, his status second only to the Sect Leader himself.
And his fiancee, Ling Xian'er, with her stunning, captivating appearance, looked at Yao Zijing with eyes full of adoration, almost melting with love.
Who wouldn't want a wife so beautiful and adoring, who looked at one with such admiration all the time? This was not like the courtesans at the brothels, who only played their parts well.
But now, Pang Wanchun was no longer envious.
The thought of holding a man-eating Demon made Pang Wanchun shudder.
At that moment, in the midst of the boundless Demon Energy forming a Sword Array, Han Zheng and the others, though caught off guard, had jointly torn a crack in the array.
However, Ling Xian'er had not intended to engage Han Zheng in a prolonged fight.
Her three fox tails wrapped around Yao Zijing, her surrounding Demon Energy formed into swords, and she darted toward the outside with incredible speed.
Her speed was even faster than the Blood Demon Escape Shadow Technique previously used by Chou Jingxiao.
Seeing this, Han Zheng struck down another Avici Path Shura Slash, and Ye Liuyun also drew his bow and shot at Ling Xian'er.
But behind Ling Xian'er, the shadowy images of her six fox tails turned into six white fox phantoms, blocking the attack with a powerful burst of Demon Energy, stopping both Han Zheng's and Ye Liuyun's strikes.
Ling Xian'er's body wavered but then suddenly burst forth at a tremendous speed, disappearing almost instantly.
Han Zheng did not pursue.
Her speed was too great; she must have used some secret technique.
Even if Han Zheng were to fully activate the Wind and Thunder Nine Transitions without regard for the drain, he would still not catch up.
But it did not matter. The monk may flee, but the temple will not!
The fact that the heir of the Guiyuan Sword Pavilion had almost married a Great Demon demanded an explanation from the Sect.
Now Han Zheng and the others understood why the Demon Cleansing Bureau warrior who had died before was killed by a single sword strike to the throat.
It was because Ling Xian'er was extracting his Qi and blood when discovered by a patrol of the Xuanjia Guard from the Demon Cleansing Bureau, and Yao Zijing had slain him with a single sword strike.
Han Zheng sheathed his long blade and looked towards Tang Youde with a smile.
"Old Master Tang, now can we confirm that I did not intend to disrupt your birthday celebration?
A Great Demon of Xuan Gang Realm appeared so openly in Yunhe Manor. Who knows what she intended to do or how many people she could have harmed."
Tang Youde sighed deeply and said solemnly, "I truly am old, not having noticed a Great Demon so close.
Thankfully, Mister Han's keen eyes exposed the Demon. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened at this birthday celebration?
Although Sect Leader Yin Taiqing of the Guiyuan Sword Pavilion is my good friend, his disciple associating with a Demon is utterly unreasonable!
I, Tang Youde, enjoy making friends in the Martial World, but I cannot tolerate those who consort with Demons!
If Yin Taiqing does not provide an explanation to the Demon Cleansing Bureau and to the Martial World of Southern Mountain, I shall have no choice but to sever ties with him!"
The Demon had appeared at the Tang Family event, nominally accompanying Yao Zijing to celebrate the birthday.
Old and cunning, Tang Youde was eager to distance himself from the Guiyuan Sword Pavilion to avoid trouble with the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
In reality, did Yin Taiqing need to provide any explanation to Tang Youde? He would not bother with Tang Youde's threat of severing ties.
However, Tang Youde was right about one thing — Yin Taiqing must give an explanation to the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
Ling Xian'er possessed some unknown secret technique, and her Demon Energy had been hidden so perfectly that not even the Demon Hunting Disk of the Demon Cleansing Bureau could detect her.
Tang Youde's life span was exhausted, and he had already entered the stage of vital energy decline. It was normal that he had not noticed it.
But Yin Taiqing was different.
He was a peak Martial Arts Grandmaster in the prime of his life; how could he not detect the demon energy on Ling Xian'er?
As Yao Zijing's fiancée, Ling Xian'er usually lived in Guiyuan Sword Pavilion!
This involved a Dan Sea Realm peak Martial Arts Grandmaster and a sect as prestigious as the Guiyuan Sword Pavilion; it wasn't something Han Zheng and his group could decide on their own. They needed to go back and report to Wen Tingyun and Xu Cunbao before making a decision.
"Mr. Tang, now that the demon has been found, we will not impose any further."
Han Zheng spoke to take his leave.
Tang Youde hurriedly said, "Gentlemen, you are all busy with official duties; I had hoped to offer you a drink from the Demon Cleansing Bureau, but now it would not be appropriate to keep you any longer."
With the chaos of the birthday banquet, Tang Youde was no longer concerned about being annoyed by the matter, only hoping that it would not implicate himself.
Just then, Tang Jingyan suddenly said, "Lords of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, may I also join the Demon Cleansing Bureau?"
Tang Heyan glared fiercely at his daughter, "What nonsense are you talking about! Is the Demon Cleansing Bureau a place you can go to? Get back!"
Han Zheng looked at Tang Heyan with a faint smile, "Family Head Tang, what do you mean by that? Is my Demon Cleansing Bureau some dragon's den or tiger's cave? Why can't one go there? Or do you look down on my Demon Cleansing Bureau?"
Tang Heyan was choked by Han Zheng and turned pale, while Tang Youde coldly snorted, "Shut up!"
Then Tang Youde smiled at Han Zheng, "Sir Han, no offense, he didn't mean that. He just knows that the Demon Cleansing Bureau needs to fight demons for the safety of the Southern Mountain people and he is just worried about his own daughter."
Compared to Tang Heyan, Tang Youde was much more eloquent.
"Why do you want to join the Demon Cleansing Bureau?"
Han Zheng ignored Tang Youde and just looked at Tang Jingyan.
Tang Jingyan raised her head and said, "I reported Uncle Fu's death to the Demon Cleansing Bureau on my own. After you leave, my father will certainly not spare me."
Hearing this, Tang Heyan wanted to scold her but, seeing Han Zheng's gaze turn towards him, he had no choice but to swallow his words and just glared fiercely at Tang Jingyan.
Tang Jingyan, seemingly unaware, said determinedly, "That demon killed Uncle Fu. Although I cannot kill her, I still want to kill other demons to avenge Uncle Fu!"
Han Zheng looked at Tang Jingyan with slight admiration.
This girl had a clear way of thinking.
What she did today was indeed too excessive and the Tang family would definitely punish her severely after the fact. So, it was better to just join the Demon Cleansing Bureau directly.
And her desire for vengeance for Uncle Fu was genuine; Han Zheng could feel the hatred in her eyes.
"But the Demon Cleansing Bureau is not something you can join just because you want to; you haven't reached the Innate Realm yet, and your strength is too weak."
Han Zheng spoke the truth.
The Innate Realm was considered entry-level in the Demon Cleansing Bureau, and the Reserve Camp contained only martial artists above the Innate Realm.
"I am weak because I have never practiced for an extended period. My father said I would eventually marry and did not allow me to use the family resources for cultivation, so, in my practice of Martial Arts so far, I have not even used a single medicine bath."
Han Zheng looked at Tang Jingyan somewhat surprised.
He knew that even martial artists from common backgrounds would save money to buy medicine baths to improve their cultivation once they had a bit of cultivation.
Yet Tang Jingyan, coming from a Martial Arts family, had never used a medicine bath and still had a Postnatal peak cultivation, which was truly a remarkable talent.
Han Zheng thought for a moment and said, "You can join the Demon Cleansing Bureau, but only if you can pass the Reserve Camp's assessment will you be officially part of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
However, once you join the Demon Cleansing Bureau, it means you will constantly be fighting life and death battles against demons and criminals; the dangers are beyond your imagination.
Not long ago, the Demon Cleansing Bureau exterminated the Blood Wolf Thieves and lost more than ten elite members. You should think it over carefully before deciding."
"I'm not afraid!"
Tang Jingyan's expression was resolute.
Han Zheng looked at Tang Youde with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Mr. Tang, would you allow it?"
Tang Youde smiled, "Children have their own blessings, if this girl wants to enter the Demon Cleansing Bureau, of course, I will not stop her, just be careful."
"Then let's go."
Han Zheng gestured, took Tang Jingyan with him, and left Yunhe Manor with a group of Xuanjia Guards to return to Kai Ping Prefecture.
Seeing that the people from the Demon Cleansing Bureau had finally left, Tang Youde could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
