I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 65 Choosing

"You're young, yet you see things so clearly."

Zhang Tianyang looked at Han Zheng with a hint of surprise,

as if he hadn't expected him to say something so philosophical.

"By the way, Your Excellency, let's search for the elixir first. I only shattered the pill furnace, so the elixir, even if it was split in half, should still be usable, right?"

Han Zheng looked at the shattered pieces of the pill furnace and deliberately said this.

Zhang Tianyang shook his head and said, "Don't bother searching. Your strike was like pulling the rug from under Yuan Longshan's feet, cutting off all his hopes.

In alchemy, it is crucial that the spirit pill is not formed and the Dan Fire continues.

Even if the Dan Fire were extinguished, this batch of elixirs would be ruined, let alone your direct shattering of the pill furnace.

Inside that pill furnace was accumulated a tremendous amount of medicinal power and heat, which exploded into dust and ashes with your strike, leaving nothing to be found."

Han Zheng shook his head regretfully, "That was a divine medicine that could change one's fate, all gone to waste."

"Right, what do you plan to do next? You've chopped off Yuan Longshan's head; there has to be an explanation afterward.

Of course, even if you hadn't chopped off his head, being part of and a witness to this event, there must still be an explanation."

Han Zheng was stunned, "Explanation? Yuan Longshan brought this upon himself; do I have a fault for killing him?"

"Of course you are not at fault. If Yuan Longshan had succeeded, my death would have been in vain, and all the brothers he brought would have died in vain."

Zhang Tianyang spoke gravely, "However, you are not to blame, Yuan Longshan was ultimately the Demon Sweeping Captain of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, and his death needs an explanation.

Especially since Yuan Longshan attempted to murder his comrades, such an action is a major taboo within the Demon Cleansing Bureau, akin to betrayal.

However, such disgraceful incidents will not be disclosed by the Demon Cleansing Bureau, so how you handle this is very critical.

At present, only you and I are aware of everything. I am part of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, so explaining the situation clearly will suffice.

But it is different for you; authorities might fear you will speak carelessly in the future.

The Demon Cleansing Bureau is a collective, not ruled by any one individual.

Southern Mountain Garrison Commander Chen Baxian, although domineering, is a reasonable man.

But I fear others may not be reasonable.

Thus, I suggest you join the Demon Cleansing Bureau, becoming one of us, then naturally they won't worry about you speaking recklessly.

Even if some are concerned, they wouldn't dare to act against you.

The rules in the Demon Cleansing Bureau are strict; even superiors cannot deal with subordinates without cause."

Zhang Tianyang sighed and said, "Han Zheng, when I previously called you my junior, it was completely nonsensical, but now I truly wish to recognize you as my junior.

This time, you have indeed saved my life. Without you, once Yuan Longshan had taken the elixir and returned, finding me alive, he would have surely silenced me by cutting me to pieces.

Having you join the Demon Cleansing Bureau is truly the best choice at this point.

I will explain Yuan Longshan's case to Chen Zhenfu, and publicly, it will be announced that County Magistrate Lin Wenzheng conspired with the Smell Fragrance Sect, and Yuan Longshan and all brothers died heroically...

Internally, only you and I know. As long as we don't speak recklessly, this matter will be concluded.

Consider this, if you agree, I will immediately recommend you to the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

I am a Team Leader in the Demon Cleansing Bureau, qualified to recommend three people to join without needing an assessment."

Han Zheng gave a wry smile, "Do I still have a choice now?"

Previously, Han Zheng had not considered joining the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

Firstly, his strength was inadequate, and he hadn't even planned to move out of Black Stone County yet; thinking about these matters seemed too premature.

Secondly, the Demon Cleansing Bureau was even more dangerous than a sect.

In a sect, the primary task is cultivation, while the Demon Cleansing Bureau isn't a place for peaceful cultivation; one must carry out various missions to earn resources for cultivation.

But now, Han Zheng seemed to have no choice.

Joining the Demon Cleansing Bureau, everything would naturally be handled by Zhang Tianyang, making him one of them and putting everyone at ease.

If he did not join the Demon Cleansing Bureau, many under Chen Baxian might seek to protect the face of the Demon Cleansing Bureau by silencing him.

As for how to silence him, that need not be said.

Not everyone in the Demon Cleansing Bureau is good, as seen with Yuan Longshan.

Considering killing Zhang Tianyang to silence him was out of the question.

Zhang Tianyang, alive, could explain this situation.

If he died, it would be equivalent to the total loss of the Demon Cleansing Bureau's power in Black Stone County, and the Bureau would definitely send someone to investigate.

Everyone in Black Stone County knew that Han Zheng worked under Zhang Tianyang.

He could silence Zhang Tianyang, but he couldn't possibly silence the entire populace of Black Stone County.

Moreover, Zhang Tianyang had been decent toward Han Zheng.

He genuinely thought he would die by Feng Jinyuan's hands before he knew of Yuan Longshan's arrangement.

Before he died, he let Han Zheng escape first instead of treating him as a mere pawn.

Zhang Tianyang smiled and patted Han Zheng on the shoulder, "Rest assured, although the Demon Cleansing Bureau has the likes of Yuan Longshan, it isn't as dark as you imagine.

If you had the talent like Lin Qing or Song Tianqing, having you join the Demon Cleansing Bureau would harm you, and delay your cultivation.

But for martial artists with average talent like you and me, it's most suitable to join the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

The Demon Cleansing Bureau can't guarantee absolute fairness, but as long as you can complete the tasks assigned from above, you can use your merits to exchange for any resources you want.

Cultivation techniques, elixirs, spirit crystals, weapons, spiritual treasures, and so on are all available.

The Demon Cleansing Bureau doesn't care about talent or background, only ability and strength.

With your temperament and strength, you'll definitely shine in the Demon Cleansing Bureau."

"I hope so."

Han Zheng glanced at the outside world, "How is Black Stone County being handled now?"

"There's no need to handle it, the Smell Fragrance Sect has already collapsed."

Zhang Tianyang said, "With the death of Feng Jinyuan, the Smell Fragrance Sect is like a dragon without a head, and can't really stir up any storms now.

The most troublesome aspect of the Smell Fragrance Sect was their ability to use secret techniques to quickly cultivate a large number of low-level martial artists.

Though they seem intimidating, their strength is very poor, and they achieve their power by overexploiting their potential.

Such followers might be numerous, but their quality is extremely poor, some even lack real combat experience.

Thus, when the Smell Fragrance Sect attacked cities and territories, they relied mainly on high-level experts like the Scent Masters to lead the charge, and the other followers just took advantage of favorable situations.

When I arrived, I already saw those followers of the Smell Fragrance Sect starting to retreat from Black Stone County, so the county is safe for now."

Han Zheng nodded and suddenly looked towards the Song Family mansion.

"I still have some personal grievances to settle."

Zhang Tianyang instantly reacted, "The Song Family? Didn't you kill Song Xingfeng?"

Han Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Not just Song Xingfeng, but also other direct Innate Martial Artists of the Song Family like Song Kangyuan have been killed by me. However, there are still many from the Song Family outside.

If you don't remove the roots when cutting weeds, endless troubles will follow.

I killed the old ancestor of the Song Family and so many of their core strength, leaving so many alive would only lead them to cause trouble for me later, so it's better to resolve them all at once.

Song Xingfeng publicly attempted to assassinate me while everyone was against the Smell Fragrance Sect, isn't it fair to charge the Song Family with colluding with the Smell Fragrance Sect?"

Zhang Tianyang looked at Han Zheng with a slight speechlessness.

He had just reassured Han Zheng that not everyone in the Demon Cleansing Bureau is bad, and that it wasn't so dark, with mostly good people there.

However, now seeing Han Zheng ready to annihilate the Song Family with such vehemence, he hardly seemed like a good person.

He hasn't even formally joined the Demon Cleansing Bureau yet, and Han Zheng is already so skilled at framing and fabricating charges.

Zhang Tianyang suddenly isn't sure whether bringing Han Zheng into the Demon Cleansing Bureau was the right or wrong decision.

However, Song Xingfeng wasn't any good either, and it was precisely these messy affairs caused by Song Xingfeng's attempts to concoct that Ghost Elixir that led to their doom. The Song Family deserved to be exterminated.

Zhang Tianyang nodded and said, "It's not excessive, but it's best not to use the charge of colluding with the Smell Fragrance Sect.

After all, Song Xingfeng is a direct descendant of the Song Family, and if word gets out that he died at your hands, there might be trouble later.

Just claim that Song Xingfeng and the entire Song Family were destroyed by the Smell Fragrance Sect.

After all, no one witnessed you killing Song Xingfeng and the other Song Family members.

It's better to cover up the killing of other Song Family members and not do it yourself."

"Don't worry, I'm too lazy to handle a bunch of martial artists who haven't even reached the Innate Realm myself, others will clean up the Song Family thoroughly."

Han Zheng hadn't planned to personally kill them one by one.

The Song Family still had dozens of martial artists left, if he killed a few, the others would run away.

He planned to contact Jiang Tai and Qiu Tianying from the Sky Eagle Gang.

With all the Innate Realm martial artists of the Song Family annihilated, the Song Family still had dozens of profitable monopoly businesses in Black Stone County.

Dozens of Postnatal martial artists couldn't defend those shops.

Han Zheng believed that the Sanhe Gang and Sky Eagle Gang would be happy to kill all remaining members of the Song Family and seize their shops and wealth for themselves.

He was leaving Black Stone County, and Han Zheng definitely didn't want those shops, so he would just take part of those profits.

At this point, the shouts and cries of fighting outside had already reduced considerably, and the Smell Fragrance Sect's people should have almost retreated.

Zhang Tianyang handed Han Zheng a small porcelain bottle, which didn't contain elixirs but some medicinal powder.

"This is Qi Condensing Powder, used for rapid recovery of Inner Strength. Restore some energy, and then it's time for us to go out and take control of the situation."

Han Zheng gulped down the Qi Condensing Powder, and instantly, waves of Spiritual Energy enveloped his limbs and torso, restoring his strength.

After a night of fighting, the sky outside was also showing a hint of dawn, shining upon a city filled with corpses and traces of fierce battles in Black Stone County.

No matter how many people died, when it was time for the day to lighten, it still would.
