I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 554: Si Tianli’s Scheme
Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Si Tianli’s Scheme
After a martial artist enters the Yang God Realm, they definitely need some time to get accustomed to their power.
However, now there is not much time, and Han Zheng’s foundation laid in the True Pill Realm is incredibly deep, even his experience in fighting with Great Grandmasters of the Yang God Realm is extremely rich, so he doesn’t really need to get too familiar with the power of the Yang God Realm.
Wen Tingyun also found the location of the last King of Youxin Ancient Country in the ancient texts of Youxin Ancient Country, and everyone hurriedly headed there.
At this moment, on an altar to the south of the ruins.
The entire altar was constructed of crystal-clear white jade, and yet inside it was a murky yellow color, emanating a strong aura of Netherworld springs, much like the legendary Yellow Spring Water.
Right now, Ren Tianying was sitting cross-legged in that Yellow Spring Water, restoring his power.
He had stayed in these ruins of Youxin Ancient Country for a long time, almost understanding everything about these ruins.
He knew well which altars were safe and where there was danger.
The King sealed within this altar had long dissipated with time, leaving only this pool of Yellow Spring Water.
At this moment, a jet-black demon eye suddenly emerged on his forehead, the demon eye emitted strands of mysterious black attraction, like an abyss, continuously absorbing the power of the surrounding Yellow Spring Water.
The greatest fortune Ren Tianying got in Youxin Ancient Country was this Devouring Origin Demon Eye.
It can absorb various types of True Yuan Gang Qi and exotic powers, some of which can be integrated into oneself, while some can be stored within the demon eye, releasing a storm of extremely powerful force before.
This pool of Yellow Spring Water, although its power attribute is extremely sinister, would cause the True Yuan Gang Qi of ordinary martial artists to be corroded, and their flesh to rot if they soaked in it.
But for Ren Tianying, who possesses the Devouring Origin Eye, this is the fountain of his life.
No matter how exhausted his strength is or how severely he is injured, as long as he enters this Yellow Spring Water, he can recover to his original state within a few hours.
"Han Zheng!"
Ren Tianying’s power gradually returned to its peak, and he suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of coldness.
A junior could actually force him to such an extent, making him both astonished and unwilling.
Moreover, being so troubled by Han Zheng, Ren Tianying now found himself in an extremely awkward position.
He knew he had messed up the situation in Southern Mountain, so originally Ren Tianying planned to leverage various opportunities within Youxin Ancient Country to enter the Dharma Manifestation Realm.
With the strength of the Dharma Manifestation Realm at his side, even the Grand Commander couldn’t punish him heavily.
After all, a strong figure of the Dharma Manifestation Realm is a top-notch existence in the Martial World, a major character who occupies a command post in the Court.
To think he was intercepted by Han Zheng midway, and from Xu Cunbao’s words, he also roughly figured out how bad the current situation in Southern Mountain is.
After the Five Families and Seven Sects left Youxin Ancient Country, they actually used the Incense Fire Divine Seal to set up a Magic Platform, driving out the Demon Cleansing Bureau, and the Smell Fragrance Sect even made a big fuss, all these responsibilities are bound to fall on him.
Moreover, judging by Xu Cunbao and the others’ attitude, they also despise him and certainly won’t say anything good about him in the future.
Thinking of this, Ren Tianying deeply furrowed his brow.
He is from the Thirteen Guards, which are the confidants of the Grand Commander.
In spite of the Grand Commander’s usual lazy appearance and constant smiles when meeting people, he knew very well how ruthless and unforgiving the Grand Commander is.
If you don’t touch the Grand Commander’s bottom line, he is a genial superior, allowing you even to speak ill of him.
But once you touch the Grand Commander’s bottom line, not even the Great King behind you can protect you.
Regardless of the merit you’ve accomplished before or your connections with the Grand Commander, he can turn against you immediately and choose from nine different ways to end your life, nine!
At the thought of the Grand Commander’s methods, Ren Tianying felt a chill in his heart.
So he was contemplating how to resolve this predicament.
Otherwise, he’d have to stay in these ruins all along, never to go out?
But as a Yang God Realm Garrison Commander, a leader garrisoning one area, yet he had to stay aggrieved in this godforsaken place, how could he endure this?
At this moment, a wave of Gang Qi suddenly surged.
Ren Tianying swiftly turned, his entire body transformed into an infinite abyss, frantically devouring the surrounding power.
"Garrison Ren, don’t be nervous, I haven’t come here to make trouble with you."
Si Tianli landed softly, spreading his palms, concealing his aura, indicating that he meant no hostility.
"Si Tianli? What are you doing here?"
Ren Tianying slightly furrowed his brow, somewhat puzzled.
Although both were high-ranking officials of the Court, and they naturally knew each other, there wasn’t much rapport between them.
The relationship between the Demon Cleansing Bureau and the military was neither good nor bad, collaborating more in local areas, but barely crossing paths in the Capital City.
So Ren Tianying and Si Tianli only had a nodding acquaintance.
Initially, he thought only the headquarters personnel from the Demon Cleansing Bureau were coming to support Southern Mountain, but didn’t expect the military to send someone as well.
"Officially, it’s to support Southern Mountain, but in actuality, it’s to seek certain items."
Si Tianli looked at Ren Tianying with a slight smirk, "Garrison Ren, you haven’t been doing well in Southern Mountain, the situation over there has become a mess and has reached the throne, making the Grand Commander furious, and His Majesty equally infuriated.
If you had died, it would have been the end of it; after all, no matter how big the issue, it can’t compete with ’a man dies and all debts are wiped clean.’
But the fact you survived makes your situation more dire; when you return to the Capital City, the Demon Cleansing Bureau will not spare you."
Ren Tianying’s face darkened, saying, "So, General Si, are you here to mock me?"
"No, quite the contrary, I come to save you."
Si Tianli said calmly, "I saw what happened when you fought with Han Zheng and others earlier; they, being from the Demon Cleansing Bureau, had no thought of letting you live.
Your Demon Cleansing Bureau’s Grand Commander Qi Zhangwu is indeed a smiling tiger, showing ruthless and decisive techniques.
The consequence of what you’ve done in Southern Mountain, needless for me to elaborate, you know well it would be disastrous if Grand Commander found out."
"I am aware, but what can you do to save me? With those of the military dead or aged, none can protect me from the Grand Commander."
The current Great Zhou Military is quite strong, but lacks top-notch combat power.
At his peak, Grand Commander Qi Zhangwu even had hopes of stepping into the Heavenly Position, becoming the ultimate peak powerhouse.
Some people suspected that Qi Zhangwu had once entered the Heavenly Position, but fell in rank after being seriously injured in the battle of Demon Suppression Pass.
However, even injured, Qi Zhangwu’s power was enough to crush almost all Dharma Manifestation Realm experts.
And there’s no one in the military who can match Qi Zhangwu.
The abilities of those central Great Generals, while formidable, only reach the ordinary Dharma Manifestation level, with only three in their prime, and the rest rather old.
Such high-end combat strength is far inferior to the Demon Cleansing Bureau, which is why the military’s influence in the court is significantly less than that of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
"Who told you the one backing me is from the military?"
Si Tianli, with a faint smile, said, "The one who supports me is His Majesty’s Imperial Uncle, the former Deputy Governor of the Dragon Martial Bureau, Prince Liang Ji Yuanfang!
You should recognize the strength and influence of Prince Liang.
If anyone in Great Zhou can truly protect you, it would only be Prince Liang!"
Ren Tianying’s heart stirred slightly.
Of course, he knew how great Ji Yuanfang’s influence was.
Ji Yuanfang is the Imperial Uncle of His Majesty, and once was the Deputy Governor of the Dragon Martial Bureau.
The former Grand Commander of the Dragon Martial Bureau was an elderly royal elder, no longer managing affairs, making Ji Yuanfang the actual controller of the Dragon Martial Bureau.
Among the nobility of Great Zhou, many were on good terms with Ji Yuanfang.
The nobility and the military are closely linked, leading to many connections for Ji Yuanfang within the military, some high-ranking generals were even raised by Ji Yuanfang.
Hence, considering this, the one likely able to save him would indeed be Ji Yuanfang.
Taking a deep breath, Ren Tianying solemnly said, "Tell me, what does Prince Liang require of me?"
