I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 39 - - Song Family

Li Jingzhong was a good teacher, but he couldn't teach what he had never reached himself.

For Han Zheng, however, this was already sufficient.

He had consulted with Li Jingzhong on further aspects of his cultivation, including common knowledge beyond the Innate Transcendence Realm, and seeing that it was almost the end of classes at the martial arts hall, Han Zheng also bid his farewell and left.

Just as he exited the inner hall, Han Zheng caught a glimpse of Li Sancheng leaving after his early class.

"It's been a while, come on, let me treat you to a meal."

Li Sancheng clicked his tongue and said, "I told you before that breaking into the Innate Realm was only a matter of time for you, but I didn't expect this rate of progression. It's a bit scary.

A few days apart, and you have become an Innate master. In this Black Stone County, you can now be considered a top figure.

I never thought I, Li Sancheng, would have a friend who's an Innate master, haha!"

Although Li Sancheng was still smiling, Han Zheng could clearly feel that he had become somewhat restrained.

Previously, everyone was in the Postnatal Realm, and however strong and excellent Han Zheng was, he was still in the same class of martial artists as them.

It was like everyone was classmates, and Han Zheng was just the honor student. Although they might have envied and been jealous, they were still classmates.

But within a few days, the classmate had transformed into a teacher, no longer on the same level as them.

They were Postnatal martial artists who, even if they graduated, could only serve as protectors, escort masters, or take risks fighting for gangs, at most mixing into the middle ranks.

But an Innate martial artist like Han Zheng could become a guest in the large clans, treated with utmost respect.

If Han Zheng wanted to get involved with a gang, he could directly gather a group of subordinates and dominate a region.

The disparity in the levels among martial artists was so large that it made Li Sancheng, who had grown up with Han Zheng, subconsciously act restrained.

Han Zheng couldn't say much about this situation.

He could only pretend not to notice and naturally dragged Li Sancheng to a small restaurant they had gone to before and had a lavish meal.

Having come into a windfall from Gao Kaiyuan, Han Zheng was more generous than usual, ordering a table full of meat dishes.

"I was focused on breaking through in seclusion for a while, haven't been to the martial arts hall these days. Has anything happened there recently?"

As Li Sancheng stuffed meat into his mouth, he mumbled unclearly, "It's been quite chaotic in the county, but there's nothing much happening at the martial arts hall.

It's just that Chen Zhao, because of his good performance, has been used by the head as a coach to help teach some of the slower disciples.

Chen Zhao is a decent person. After Song Tianqing and the others left, aside from you, Chen Zhao is the strongest disciple in the hall.

But he doesn't act arrogantly towards everyone; instead, he is very dedicated to helping those with less talent."

At this point, Li Sancheng suddenly said, "I heard some gossip recently, it's about Song Tianqing."

"Oh? What gossip?"

Ever since learning that Gao Kaiyuan was backed by the Song Family, Han Zheng's attention to the Song Family had skyrocketed.

"Yesterday, there was an assessment among the younger generation of the Song Family to select the ones to be focused on for the next generation.

Although they didn't explicitly say it was to choose the Young Master, it was definitely aimed at preparing for the position of the Song Family Young Master.

Song Tianqing, although he lost to you in the martial arts hall competition, he defeated all the young disciples of the Song Family in the clan competition.

Even in the final battle, he disabled the tendons in the hand of the eldest young master of the Song family.

That was the direct descendant of Song Kangyuan and his legal wife, whom Song Kangyuan had always been grooming as his successor.

But now he was crippled by Song Tianqing, and Song Kangyuan was livid at the time, calling Song Tianqing ruthlessly venomous and more, wanting to punish him, but he was stopped by the old patriarch, Song Xingfeng.

Song Xingfeng said that since a successor had already been crippled, they must choose the most outstanding family disciple to inherit, since they were all his sons anyway.

Your generation is incompetent, but at least the next generation has produced someone formidable and decisive.

With the old patriarch speaking out, Song Kangyuan, despite his dissatisfaction, had to accept it.

So this time, Song Tianqing turned his situation around and jumped from an overlooked illegitimate son to the third-generation heir of the Song Family."

Li Sancheng curled his lip: "Now I know who Song Tianqing inherited his personality from—he's exactly like the old patriarch of the Song family.

Being so ruthless and still becoming the heir of the Song family, who's going to reason with that?"

The disciples of Zhenwei Martial Arts Academy generally didn't like Song Tianqing.

Among the disciples with backgrounds at the academy, Lin Qing, though arrogant, was impeccable in conduct, never showing contempt for these common-born martial artists, at most being somewhat indifferent.

Guo Mingyuan was just a fool, incredibly arrogant, and after his family became the richest in the county due to a surge in grain prices, he became even more inflated.

On ordinary days, he looked down on everyone, even not sparing Lin Qing a glance.

Song Tianqing was both arrogant and venomous, which made the other disciples of the martial arts hall despise him even more.

He was not born into a good family, yet he disdained those disciples in the martial arts hall who came from even humbler backgrounds.

He was ostracized in his childhood at the Song Family, developing this ruthless and venomous character—it was understandable.

But if you had grievances, why not direct them at the Song Family members? The disciples of the martial arts hall did nothing to provoke or offend you, so why be so brutally aggressive towards them?

Li Sancheng had nearly been injured by Song Tianqing's hands and naturally harbored not a slight bit of goodwill towards him.

"How do you know about this so clearly? It's as if you saw it with your own eyes."

Li Sancheng stuffed meat into his mouth while mumbling indistinctly, "It's the people from the Song Family who spread these stories.

They're also dissatisfied with Song Tianqing becoming the heir to the Song Family, so they spread these things hoping to ruin Song Tianqing's reputation and make the Song Family elder change his mind."

Han Zheng shook his head.

This generation of the Song Family truly was incompetent, resorting to such childish methods to try to change the elder's mind.

From what Li Sancheng said, Han Zheng could imagine what sort of person the Song Family elder was.

He must be someone who prioritized profit above all else, utterly cold-hearted.

A person with such a character having chosen Song Tianqing as the heir to the Song Family, how could he possibly change his mind over some minor reputational issues?

However, Han Zheng felt a hint of caution rising in his heart.

This type of person, like the Song Family elder, was the most difficult to deal with.

When dealing with the Song Family in the future, the person to be most cautious about would undoubtedly be this Song Family elder, Song Xingfeng!

After they had their fill of food and drink, Han Zheng and Li Sancheng headed home.

Meanwhile, at the Song Family mansion in East City, in the council hall, seven Song Family disciples sat on both sides, with an elderly man in golden luxurious clothes seated on the central chair.

The elder had a full head of white hair, a haggard and weathered face, but his eyes were as sharp and cold as an eagle's.

This was Song Xingfeng, the elder of the Song Family in East City, perfectly cultivated in the Innate Transcendent Realm, and a great master who had refined the Water and Fire Immortal Clothes.

Among the seven Song Family disciples below, six were in the Innate Realm, all high-ranking members of the Song Family.

Only one, Song Tianqing, was in the Postnatal Realm.

He had earned the right to sit here and participate in the discussions of the Song Family by defeating all the younger generation of Song Family disciples.

At this moment, a dignified and scholarly middle-aged man spoke, "Elder, I saw Gao Kaiyuan's body today. He appears to have been defeated and beheaded, then dumped in the river beyond recognition.

So, for now, we do not know who killed Gao Kaiyuan; however, passersby did see him being chased out of the city by someone wearing a monkey-faced mask.

That person might have been someone Jiang Tai hired, or possibly from the Black Tiger Gang or the Sky Eagle Gang.

Elder, now that Gao Kaiyuan is dead, there's no one to deal with the trade with Lord Tearing Winds.

Should we look to cooperate with Jiang Tai, or should we continue the trade with Lord Tearing Winds ourselves?"

This middle-aged man was Song Kangyuan, the family head of this generation of the Song Family and Song Tianqing's actual father.

Although Song Kangyuan was the family head, he had only barely reached the late stages of the Innate Realm, and his talents were mediocre; his cultivation was entirely built up through resource baths and medicine.

His only virtue was obedience. Although he hadn't achieved much as the family head over these years, he also hadn't caused any troubles.

Song Xingfeng narrowed his eyes, his voice hoarse with age, "Gao Kaiyuan could help us because he had ambitions, he desired to dominate the Sanhe Gang.

Now that Jiang Tai has received what he wanted as the leader of the Sanhe Gang, why would he risk so much to deal with demons for us?

As for sending the Song Family disciples to handle the transactions personally, forget about it.

If the Demon Cleansing Bureau learns of this, it would mean the main line of the Song Family would know as well.

All these years, I've kept a low profile; those people from the main line might even think I'm dead.

Once they find out about this, I will die, and you too, bearing my blood, will all have to die!"

Feeling Song Xingfeng's piercing gaze, like that of a hawk, sweeping over him, Song Kangyuan hastily said, "Please calm down, elder. Rest assured, the Song Family disciples will absolutely not get involved in this matter. If necessary, I'll look to the other gangs, as there will surely be someone willing to work for us."

Song Xingfeng said sternly, "There's no need for such trouble anymore. It's good that Gao Kaiyuan is dead; his death spares me the effort of handling him myself.

Since we have nearly collected enough Heavenly Demon Red Fruits to refine into the Heavenly Demon Blood Pill,

once the Dan is formed and our family disciples' strength accumulates a bit more, we can lure out Lord Tearing Winds, steal the Heavenly Demon Treasure Tree, and extract that treasure from the Heavenly Demon Blood Pill!

Remember this period; no one is to cause any trouble for me.

Haven't we, the Song Family, endured for so many years just for this day?

If this plan succeeds, I will reclaim everything that belongs to me, and you will not have to spend your lives confined to this small county town!"

"Yes, elder!"

Song Kangyuan and the others all stood up in response, faintly excited.
