I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 266: The Jade-Faced Gentleman

Being able to root himself in such a large State Mansion like Taishan Prefecture for so many years, and managing it without any trouble, Lord Liu is not someone simple.

But this is good, much better than those idiots who can’t figure things out.

Although Lord Liu has agreed to cooperate with us, in the end, this is still our own mission, and we must rely on ourselves.

The local Xuanjia Guards of Taishan Prefecture should primarily investigate the news from various Martial World forces; they are familiar with Taishan Prefecture and can do it more smoothly than us.

The people we brought this time should focus on dealing with demons and, while exterminating them, investigate news about Daoist Luo.

This time Daoist Luo hasn’t just stirred up the Martial World forces; he has also recruited quite a few scattered demons and ghosts from the Three Mountains and Five Mountains to work for the Black Mountain Demon.

Tracking these demons will be easier, and perhaps we will find some clues."

Su Wuming and Ye Liuyun nodded in agreement, and the next morning, Han Zheng went to discuss his plan with Liu Xunqi, who also agreed and was very satisfied with Han Zheng’s approach.

Although he had agreed to cooperate with Han Zheng the previous day, the manner of cooperation was another matter.

If Han Zheng had been commanding and expected them to venture into deep forests and mountains to investigate demons, even though Liu Xunqi wouldn’t say anything, he would be dissatisfied in his heart.

But now, Han Zheng was only asking them to assist in checking the local Martial World forces, while he and his group tackled the demons, which was much easier.

The Taishan Prefecture Demon Cleansing Bureau wielded considerable deterrence over the local Martial World forces. Aside from the Washing Sword Pavilion, when the Taishan Prefecture Demon Cleansing Bureau wished to investigate, the other Martial World forces had to comply obediently, so this was not a difficult task.

Moreover, Han Zheng and his people exterminating demons was also helping to resolve some potential troubles for Taishan Prefecture, and naturally, Liu Xunqi was more than happy.

After getting a rough distribution map of the demons in Taishan Prefecture from Liu Xunqi, Han Zheng took Su Wuming and the others to take action.

There weren’t many overt demons in Taishan Prefecture; Liu Xunqi’s capabilities were quite impressive.

As soon as there was any demon raising trouble, Liu Xunqi would definitely be the first to lead a team to eradicate it.

However, this was only on the surface. The Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department lacked strength, just as the forces in various State Mansions did.

The Taishan Prefecture Demon Cleansing government office had over three hundred Xuanjia Guards, more than double what Han Zheng had commanded in Smoke Wave Prefecture.

Yet, this number could only barely suppress the Martial World forces in Taishan Prefecture, leaving Liu Xunqi no time to deal with those demons hidden deep in the forest or lurking in dark corners.

Therefore, he could only ensure that there were no demons openly causing mischief in Taishan Prefecture; he was unable to completely resolve all the demon issues in Taishan Prefecture.

The following morning, Liu Xunqi dispatched over fifty Xuanjia Guards to help Han Zheng and his team gather information.

There were many tasks requiring attention from the Taishan Prefecture Demon Cleansing Bureau, so naturally, Liu Xunqi could not dedicate all his resources to assist Han Zheng.

Squeezing out a group of over fifty people was already giving Han Zheng quite a bit of face.

After expressing his thanks, Han Zheng headed straight for the Dragon Ridge on the border of Taishan Prefecture, following the map given to him by Liu Xunqi.

This Dragon Ridge was a branch of the Tiancang Mountain Range, within which resided a Xuan Gang Realm Great Demon that reigned over Moon Waves Cave as the king of the mountain, known as the Jade-Faced Gentleman. Oddly enough, no one knew what kind of demon he was.

The strength of the Jade-Faced Gentleman was not weak; he even commanded four Great Demons and over a hundred lesser demons, his power domineering and tyrannical.

To eradicate such a powerful demon required Liu Xunqi to lead nearly half the strength of the entire Demon Cleansing Bureau of Taishan Prefecture.

However, since the demon only operated within the vicinity of Dragon Ridge, at most capturing merchant caravans that sought shortcuts through Dragon Ridge without blatantly attacking county towns or the State Mansion, Liu Xunqi had always let it be.

Han Zheng chose this Jade-Faced Gentleman because from the map Liu Xunqi gave him, he was the one with the most comprehensive strength.

Five Great Demons and a cave mansion filled with over a hundred lesser demons—such a force Luo Daoren had no reason not to recruit, especially since he had even gone to Jingzhou Prefecture to enlist the Great King of Tearing Winds.

Therefore, Han Zheng was eighty percent sure that the Jade-Faced Gentleman had definitely had contact with Luo Daoren.

Dragon Ridge was all forest paths, with rugged terrain that was difficult to traverse and demons that lurked, yet the merchant caravans that passed through here were not few.

This massive Dragon Ridge lay between two prefectures, and taking a detour would add an extra two hundred or more miles, consuming countless resources for man and horse alike, leaving little profit.

Consequently, some less financially endowed merchants would risk the perilous journey through Dragon Ridge, unbeknownst to how many would end up in the belly of demons.

The location of Moon Waves Cave, where the Jade-Faced Gentleman resided, was at the highest peak of Dragon Ridge.

As Han Zheng and his group had just stepped onto the peak, over ten lesser demons suddenly emerged from the mountain, brandishing siege crossbows of the Great Zhou military, firing at Han Zheng and his people while shouting loudly.

"Enemy attack! Report to the Great King, the Demon Cleansing Bureau has come knocking!"

Han Zheng frowned and from his Autumn Water Surprised Swallow Saber, a dazzling Sword Gang sliced out, tearing apart those crossbow bolts.

If bandits had siege crossbows it was one thing, but how could demons have such military weapons too?

Ye Liuyun took out the Cloud Piercing Sky Shattering Bow and with five arrows shot at once, he rapidly drew and nocked arrows, almost instantly shooting down those lesser demons.

At that moment, an angry roar came from Moon Waves Cave.

"For years, I, this Young Master, have stayed out of the way of your Demon Cleansing Bureau, and now you dare provoke me by coming to my doorstep, you truly have some nerve!"

From within the cave mansion surged out over a hundred lesser demons, and eight robust pig demons carried out a luxurious palanquin from Moon Waves Cave.

Atop the palanquin sat a young nobleman dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, handsome in appearance, wearing a White Jade Crown, his ears adorned with two green snake shaped jade pendants.

At the same time, the young nobleman had his arm around a mature and beautiful Snake Demon on his left, with only her belly-band for cover and her serpentine lower half coiled around the Jade-Faced Gentleman’s waist.

To his right, he held a captivating Fox Demon, her snowy white fox tail being playfully twirled in the Jade-Faced Gentleman’s hand.

Behind him, two pretty and sultry female demons gently massaged his shoulders, presenting a scene straight out of every man’s fantasy.

Even Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but envy, silently exclaiming that this demon sure knew how to enjoy life.

The information given by Liu Xunqi only mentioned that the Jade-Faced Gentleman commanded four Great Demons, but it never specified that all four were enchantingly bewitching female demons!

So even demons judged by appearance? Was this pretty boy really so popular?

However, when Ye Liuyun turned to look at Su Wuming and Han Zheng, their expressions remained unchanged, both wearing a stern look of deadly intent.

To Su Wuming, whether it was a male or female demon, they were all the same—a stab with his spear would make two holes.

To Han Zheng, whether male or female, all demons were walking vessels of Demon Essence.

Seeing their demeanor made Ye Liuyun’s mouth twitch.

He now seemed to understand why he couldn’t keep up with the cultivation level of Han Zheng and Su Wuming.
