I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 270 Asking Sword Manor

Han Zheng suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, since you can read fortunes, what do you see about my fate chart?"

Yan Xuankong curled his lip and critiqued, "To be honest, it's nothing remarkable—just a common man's fate chart. Your life will be ordinary, neither good nor bad.

Plus, there's an indication of misfortune between your brows, even suggesting a premature demise.

Honestly, reaching this point in life is quite an achievement for you.

But you shouldn't mind it.

That old charlatan did say that although fate is predetermined, man can conquer heaven. How far a person can go in life isn't determined by fate but by themselves.

If everything depended on fate charts, even those with an emperor's fate chart who indulges day in and out would eventually meet their downfall."

At this point, Han Zheng was slightly astonished—Yan Xuankong was quite accurate.

Before he transmigrated, he came from an average background with average talents, fitting the description of a common man's fate chart.

Also, being tricked into becoming Blood Food for the Demons halfway through aligns with the premature demise.

It's fair to say that it was his transmigration that altered his fate chart.

Without dwelling further on issues of fate, Han Zheng had the Xuanjia Guards clean up the battlefield, then headed straight back to the Demon Cleansing Bureau's government office in Taishan Prefecture.

When he returned to the government office of Taishan Prefecture, Liu Xunqi was not there.

Hearing that the old lair of the rogue Taoist was in Taishan Prefecture and to prevent any mischief from him, Liu Xunqi had taken people to patrol the towns below.

Compared to Qiao Xuan, who could barely leave the State Mansion once a year, Liu Xunqi was undoubtedly much more responsible.

It wasn't until late at night that Liu Xunqi returned; as soon as he entered the main hall, he burst out laughing, "Han, my friend, you truly are extraordinary!

With this single sweep, you vanquished the Jade-faced Young Lord and his troop of demons; Dragon Ridge will finally know peace, and passing merchants no longer need to live in fear.

On behalf of the entire Taishan Prefecture, I thank you, Han, for eliminating such a major threat!"

Han Zheng replied respectfully, "You flatter me, Mr. Liu. We are all part of the Demon Cleansing Bureau. We do not distinguish one State Mansion from another; eliminating demons is our inherent duty."

Liu Xunqi sighed, "If only everyone thought like you, Han.

When I first arrived in Taishan Prefecture, our Demon Cleansing Bureau was understaffed. I sought help from the neighboring State Mansions, but none even bothered to respond.

Everyone is only concerned with their own doorstep, who has time for others' troubles?"

Han Zheng laughed softly without responding; this was a delicate topic.

Most governors are sure to secure their own territories first before intervening in others' affairs.

"Mr. Liu, after we eliminated that 'Jade-faced Gentleman' today, we learned some information about the Taoist Luo.

It seems that Taoist Luo is colluding with the people from Asking Sword Manor. According to the Jade-faced gentleman, if we go to Asking Sword Manor, we will find Taoist Luo.

I suspect that Asking Sword Manor must have already sought refuge with Taoist Luo, or it has some key figures infiltrated by him.

Mr. Liu, do you know the details of Asking Sword Manor? I am planning to take some people there to investigate."

Upon hearing the name Asking Sword Manor, Liu Xunqi's countenance turned somewhat solemn.

"Mr. Han, are you sure it's Asking Sword Manor?"

"Of course, I'm sure."

"What I mean is, Mr. Han, do you have enough evidence to prove that Asking Sword Manor is really colluding with demons?

The fact that Asking Sword Manor is colluding with Taoist Luo is, after all, claimed by a demon. Is there a possibility that the Jade-faced gentleman was spouting nonsense before his death, just to deliberately stir up conflicts in the Martial World?"

Han Zheng slightly furrowed his brow. "Of course, there is no evidence, but the Jade-faced gentleman spoke the truth before his death, doesn't that count as evidence?

Mr. Liu, is Asking Sword Manor some incredibly powerful force in the Martial World that cannot be touched?"

From Liu Xunqi's attitude, it was evident that he was quite wary of Asking Sword Manor.

However, Han Zheng had indeed not heard of Asking Sword Manor before.

In the entire Southern Mountain, the only forces worthy of a Garrison Captain's great caution were the Five Families and Seven Sects, and Asking Sword Manor was not among them.

Liu Xunqi pondered for a moment and then spoke, "Asking Sword Manor is indeed not a top sect. Its manor master, Mo Gaowen, is only at the Xuan Gang Realm, and his strength is inflated, completely bolstered by elixirs.

But, Asking Sword Manor has deep entanglements with the Washing Sword Pavilion, so it's somewhat tricky to deal with.

It can be said that if you, Han, decide to investigate Asking Sword Manor, Washing Sword Pavilion will inevitably intervene."

Han Zheng frowned and asked, "Is Asking Sword Manor a subordinate sect to Washing Sword Pavilion?"

Liu Xunqi gave a wry smile and said, "On the contrary, strictly speaking, the founder of Washing Sword Pavilion was once a subordinate of Asking Sword Manor.

About eight hundred years ago, Asking Sword Manor was actually the leading force in the Southern Mountain, not as a sect but as a family heritage.

However, in later stages, the capable members of the Mo family dwindled, and few direct disciples were successful.

The contemporary manor master of Asking Sword Manor, in order to maintain its strength, had to adopt many foster sons and taught them part of the Mo family's Taiyi Sword Control Technique.

These foster sons of the Mo family later supported the power of Asking Sword Manor, allowing the Mo family to sustain itself for another century.

But a hundred years later, when that manor master died, the succeeding family head of the Mo family was far less powerful than these foster sons.

Everyone was a martial artist; how could they accept taking orders from someone less capable than themselves?

Especially since the succeeding Mo family manor master was narrow-minded. He did not treat the former manor master's foster sons as his own foster brothers but rather treated them like guest warriors, with less regard than for other Mo family disciples.

Over time, naturally, these foster sons nurtured by the previous manor master harbored deep resentments.

So, these foster sons banded together, forcefully usurped the complete Taiyi Sword Control Technique from the Mo family, and jointly established the Washing Sword Pavilion, turning the family into a sect.

But their foster father, the previous manor master of Asking Sword Manor, really treated them well, as if they were his own sons, even better than his biological son.

Except for not teaching them the complete Taiyi Sword Control Technique, he did not withhold anything else.

Thus, their coup against the Mo family and establishment of the Washing Sword Pavilion was considered rather disgraceful in the Martial World at that time.

Perhaps out of guilt, or for their own reputation, although they forced out the cultivation technique, they did not mistreat the people of Asking Sword Manor. Instead, they continued to protect Asking Sword Manor and even provided them with cultivation resources every year.

Regrettably, over the years, the Mo family has been ineffective; not a single Martial Arts Grandmaster has emerged in hundreds of years.

So, strictly speaking, Asking Sword Manor and Washing Sword Pavilion should be considered one entity, both practicing the Taiyi Sword Control Technique.

Asking Sword Manor serves as the face of Washing Sword Pavilion, proving their ancestors were not ungrateful beasts.

Whoever targets Asking Sword Manor, the consequences will be even more severe than targeting Washing Sword Pavilion itself."
