I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 210: Today We Avenge the Annihilation of the Clan
With a single sword strike heavily wounding Zhang Yan, the young swordsman saw that Zhang Yan was not dead and actually had a killing intent to go up and finish him off.
At this moment, the scholar-dressed youth behind him suddenly grabbed his arm and said in a deep voice, "Brother Yue, after all, they are from the Demon Cleansing Bureau. Killing too many of the Bureau's people might be hard to explain.
Every debt has its debtor; you can seek vengeance with Han Zheng, but killing too many from the Bureau would be seen as provoking them."
The young swordsman snorted coldly, "Then let's spare his dog life for now! I'll wait outside for that Han Zheng!"
The four of them left the city gates directly and waited for Han Zheng on the main road entering the city.
At this moment, another Xuanjia Guard seemed to have just reacted and rushed over to lift Zhang Yan up.
"Boss, how are you? I'm going to find Lord Pei and the others right away!"
At this time, Zhang Yan, while spitting blood, fiercely grabbed his arm.
"Don't go! Pei Xiuyuan has other matters to attend to, and even if he came, he's no match for these people!
Immediately scale the wall from the side, bypass these people, and go find Mr. Han. Tell him not to come back under any circumstances, warn him of an ambush, and tell him to quickly seek reinforcements from Chen Jiuzhen and the others!"
Zhang Yan knew Pei Xiuyuan was still watching Zhao Rongye and couldn't leave at the moment.
Moreover, even if Pei Xiuyuan came, it wouldn't be of any use, as his strength was far inferior to these people.
Owning a great debt of gratitude to Mr. Han, the best he could do now was not to be a burden to him.
The Xuanjia Guard clenched his teeth and stuffed a healing elixir into Zhang Yan's mouth and said, "Hang in there, boss! I'm on my way!"
Watching the Xuanjia Guard disappear, Zhang Yan finally took a deep breath and just hoped he could act quickly and contact Han Zheng sooner.
At this time, on the main road near the city gate, the handsome young man holding a long sword watched coldly ahead, waiting for Han Zheng to appear.
Although he had never seen Han Zheng, he was sure he could recognize him as soon as he appeared!
"Brother Yue, coming to seek vengeance against Han Zheng might have been a bit hasty. It would be better to plan for the long term," said the scholar-dressed youth.
"I know, but I can't wait! How can a revenge for the annihilation of my family allow me to plan for the long term?" the young swordsman said with hatred in his voice, almost wishing he could tear Han Zheng to pieces.
This young swordsman was none other than Yue Jingtong, the son of Yue Qing who had entered the Inner Door of the Washing Sword Pavilion.
Years ago, Yue Jingtong had seized Wen Yanqing's opportunity to enter the Inner Door of the Washing Sword Pavilion, which had since given him special attention in grooming.
Every now and then, Yue Qing would visit his son at the pavilion, secretly providing part of the family's resources to aid in his son's advancement.
Therefore, Yue Jingtong's cultivation had drastically improved, far faster than other young disciples who entered the pavilion the same year, and naturally, he received special training from the higher-ups of the pavilion.
Given these circumstances, Yue Jingtong was not just the best among the younger generation in the pavilion but surely ranked in the top three.
Yue Jingtong was traveling and had coincidentally met several young disciples from major sects, and they had joined him to travel through the Martial World.
The scholar-dressed youth was Wei Wenruo, the legitimate heir of the Yan Mountain Wei Family in the middle stage of the Xuan Gang Realm.
The young woman in the pink silk dress was Bai Ru Xue, the young lady of the Cold Water Bai Family, the youngest and somewhat weaker in cultivation, but still she had reached the Peak of the Innate Realm.
The young man carrying the exaggeratedly large bow was Zuo Xinglie, a disciple of the Great Yi Archery Sect, which was the premier school of archery in the world.
The Great Yi Archery Sect was not located on Southern Mountain but on West River Road, known throughout the Martial World for its bow and arrow secret techniques; its ancestors were said to have once killed three Golden Crows with a single arrow in ancient times, and their strength was much stronger than that of the Five Families and Seven Sects of Southern Mountain.
Zuo Xinglie was also traveling through the Martial World, and happening to meet Yue Jingtong and the others.
Upon learning that the other party was from the Great Yi Archery Sect, Yue Jingtong had intended to make friends, and the four of them got along well on their journey.
Yue Jingtong even mentioned inviting them to visit the Yue Family to enjoy the scenery of Smoke Wave Lake, but little did he expect to receive the shocking news that the Yue Family had been annihilated halfway through their journey!
Yue Jingtong was at the height of his vigor when, suddenly, he turned around to find his hometown had been annihilated. How could he possibly bear this?
So without a second thought, Yue Jingtong set out to kill Han Zheng in revenge.
Moreover, besides Han Zheng, there were the Wen Family, the Black Water Gang, and the Breaking Extreme Sect—he was not going to let any of them go!
Especially the Wen Family, he had heard that it was Wen Yanqing, that crippled thief, who had ambushed his family's elder, leading to their tragic defeat.
Initially, he should not have been lenient and allowed the Wen Family a way to survive; he should have wiped out the Wen Family when he had the chance!
Wei Wenruo looked at Yue Jingtong, who was seething with killing intent, and couldn't help but frown.
All along the way, Yue Jingtong had behaved appropriately and was quite magnanimous—a rarely seen crazed demeanor in him.
"Brother Yue, I understand your desire to avenge your family's annihilation, but you are now not only a member of the Yue Family but also of the Washing Sword Pavilion.
I advise that it's best to first investigate the cause of the annihilation of the Yue Family, report it to the Sect, and then make a decision.
If you kill Han Zheng here and now, even if you manage to kill him, I fear the consequences could be troublesome."
Wei Wenruo meant well and was not stopping Yue Jingtong from seeking revenge but wanted him to think long-term.
Yue Jingtong was a core disciple of the Washing Sword Pavilion, even one of the future candidates to take over leadership.
Wei Wenruo had also vaguely heard of Han Zheng's name, who seemed to be a rising figure among the younger generation in the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department.
This battle, whether Yue Jingtong killed Han Zheng or Han Zheng killed Yue Jingtong, would actually be very troublesome.
"Brother Wei, no need to say more. Their Demon Department annihilated a family without cause, executing without teaching—is there really no law anymore? Others may fear the Demon Department, but I, Yue Jingtong, do not!"
"Brother Yue, what a spirit!"
At this moment, Zuo Xinglie exclaimed, "Those Imperial hounds in the Demon Department have always looked down on us from the Martial World Sects, and might seize any excuse to trouble us.
When I was on West River Road, I already disliked them, and it seems this Southern Mountain Demon Department is of the same nature."
Zuo Xinglie and Yue Jingtong had a very good relationship.
Although Wei Wenruo appeared to have a mild personality, he was actually somewhat aloof, maintaining some distance in his relations and was quite measured in his actions.
Yue Jingtong intentionally tried to befriend him, and always spoke highly of Zuo Xinglie, which led Zuo Xinglie to consider him a confidant, and in just a few days, their relationship had grown incredibly close, starting to refer to each other as brothers.
Bai Ru Xue also chimed in from the side, "Brother Yue is doing the right thing! A true hero should indulge in deep emotions and grudges. If those Imperial lackeys killed Brother Yue's family and he doesn't seek revenge, how could he be considered a hero?"
Wei Wenruo looked at Bai Ru Xue, who gazed at Yue Jingtong with admiring eyes, and his mouth twitched involuntarily, his face full of helplessness.
Initially, it was Wei Wenruo who took Bai Ru Xue to travel across the Martial World.
Wei Wenruo, not even thirty years old, stepped into the Xuan Gang Realm, outclassing all his family peers, having been long established by the Wei Family elder as the Family Head successor.
The Wei Family of Yan Mountain and the Cold Water Bai Family were not far from each other, and their relationship had always been good; the elders of both families even harbored ideas of a marriage alliance.
Thus, the Bai Family elders let Wei Wenruo take Bai Ru Xue, their young heiress, to travel the Martial World to gain experience, but the actual intent was for the two of them to cultivate a deeper relationship.
As a major clan disciple, Wei Wenruo knew that he could not decide his own romantic life, so he was not resistant to the arranged marriage.
But having met Bai Ru Xue for just one day, Wei Wenruo already wanted to flee.
For the young heiress of the Bai Family lacked some intelligence.
Bai Ru Xue, the legitimate daughter of the Bai Family Head, was exceptionally talented from a young age and had an adorable appearance. Having been pampered by the Bai Family elder since childhood, she grew up overly indulged and had not experienced the outside world, resulting in her bratty and willful nature without considering the consequences of her actions.

Sometimes when Wei Wenruo advised her, she would not appreciate his goodwill and retorted that Wei Wenruo was hesitant, overly cautious, and lacked the guts of a man, which frustrated Wei Wenruo so much that he eventually stopped bothering with her.
Nevertheless, Wei Wenruo had already made up his mind to tell his family elder upon returning, stating he would rather die than marry Bai Ru Xue!
Future wives can lack emotions towards him, can be less capable, or even of a lower status.
But they absolutely must not lack intelligence!
