I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 570 Temporary Retreat
Chapter 570: Chapter 570 Temporary Retreat
Chu Tianyuan could see that Han Zheng was somewhat unwilling, and indeed, Han Zheng was somewhat unwilling.
Having pacified the Southern Mountain and achieved such great merit, he had just returned to the Capital City only to have to flee in disgrace—what was this supposed to mean?
However, Han Zheng was not someone who couldn’t see reality.
When under the eaves, one must bow.
Now, Ji Xuanjing is the Regent and Ji Yuanfang stands in for the Prince; this is their domain.
Today, He Tianxiong can come to trouble him, and if he doesn’t leave, some great trouble might be awaiting him.
So Han Zheng simply nodded and said, "Elder Chu, rest assured, I will go to Demon Suppression Pass to temporarily avoid the limelight, and everything can be discussed when the Grand Commander returns.
By the way, what about Jing’an Guard? Should they also accompany me to Demon Suppression Pass?"
Chu Tianyuan shook his head and said, "The situation at Demon Suppression Pass is complex and requires a few seasoned elites trained at the edge of life and death.
Though Jing’an Guard counts as elite, they still fall short, and there’s no need to temper them in life and death at Demon Suppression Pass, so Jing’an Guard will remain in the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
Moreover, Ji Yuanfang and He Tianxiong’s target is only you; once you leave the Capital City, they won’t trouble Jing’an Guard.
For now, the Jing’an Guard will not have a new Grand Steward appointed and I will personally take control."
Wei Tianqi, standing at the side, said, "Little Wen doesn’t need to go to that place, Demon Suppression Pass. How about letting Little Wen follow me for a while? I have quite a few things here that need Little Wen’s help with research."
Chu Tianyuan also lightly nodded at Wen Tingyun and said, "The Observatory holds a special status, being there is far safer than within the Demon Cleansing Bureau."
Wen Tingyun sighed and said to Han Zheng, "Be careful on your journey."
The nearby Bu Tiange lightly shook his head: "If you ask me, your Court is indeed complicated enough. Isn’t everyone exhausted by these intrigues?"
"Isn’t the Martial World the same? When people are involved, conflicts, intrigue, and scheming are inevitable."
Han Zheng said to Bu Tiange, "Next, you also best not stay in the Capital City, it’s not very safe here."
Bu Tiange was not part of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, so it was not convenient for him to directly follow Han Zheng to Demon Suppression Pass.
Of course, if people from the Martial World wish to go to Demon Suppression Pass, they can.
Demon Suppression Pass does not reject those from the Martial World who slay demons; the more they kill, the more the Court rejoices.
However, for ease of management and to avoid unexpected incidents, those from the Martial World can only enter Demon Suppression Pass through a small side entrance to slay demons, and not through the main path designated by the Court, nor are they allowed within the Court’s garrison areas.
Also, on the way, Bu Tiange had mentioned that after a rest in the Capital City, he was planning another tour of the Martial World.
Previously, he had just taken down many masters from Qingming Sword Pavilion, which had been pursuing him throughout the Martial World.
Now, after such a long time, the threat has dissipated and Qingming Sword Pavilion cannot continue to send people to trail him indefinitely, so Bu Tiange can roam again.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Han Zheng was about to leave, when Chu Tianyuan looked towards Yan Xuankong, somewhat puzzled: "Who is this person? Why is he wearing the Profound Armor of my Demon Cleansing Bureau?"
Yan Xuankong was wearing the Red Gold Flying Bear Armor from the Demon Cleansing Bureau, a set he had previously found in a corner of the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Bureau.
He often spoke highly of the Demon Cleansing Bureau but cared about his identity as the Garrison Commander of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
With Chu Tianyuan speaking, Yan Xuankong had to bring out Xiahou Xuan’s name as an excuse.
After all, those are figures from five hundred years ago; everyone who knew Xiahou Xuan has long since passed.
Moreover, all materials and appearances of Xiahou Xuan had been sealed, and Yan Xuankong knew more than anyone, and even under true scrutiny, he’d bluff through.
Indeed, after a few questions, Chu Tianyuan stopped suspecting and only exclaimed: "Unexpectedly, Senior Xiahou still has such opportunities, which is a fortunate thing. In this case, Senior Xiahou might as well stay at the headquarters and we will arrange a position for you when the Grand Commander returns."
Chu Tianyuan was a straightforward and upright person, and most admired people like Xiahou Xuan who fought persistently all their life for the Demon Cleansing Bureau without any stain on their name.
Yan Xuankong chuckled, "Better not, I met Han Zheng by fate, and given my current state unable to continue cultivation in Martial Arts, I plan to pass on my Martial Arts to him, thus I will accompany him to Demon Suppression Pass." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"That works too, then I must trouble Senior Xiahou to take care of Han Zheng on the road."
Chu Tianyuan nodded and said to Han Zheng, "Delay invites change; I can’t guarantee they won’t concoct other excuses to trouble you. You should hasten to Demon Suppression Pass.
After you leave, I will use a Secret Technique to send a message to Chen Baxian regarding the situation here in the Capital City, so he can assist you."
"As the Grand Commander is not in the Capital City now, Elder Chu, you take care as well."
Han Zheng didn’t hesitate; he bid farewell to Chu Tianyuan and immediately turned to leave the city.
Xiang Yuangong and others also cupped their hands in salute towards the direction Han Zheng left.
Although they hadn’t spent much time with Han Zheng, they genuinely admired this superior who was less experienced and younger than they were.
Following Han Zheng, Jing’an Guard had never been thwarted, no matter what mission they undertook, it was always thrilling.
After departing from the Capital City, Han Zheng glanced at the pitch-black, towering, majestic city walls.
This time leaving the Capital City was humiliating, as if being forced out.
But when he returns to the Capital City, he certainly won’t be so accommodating!
At this time Han Zheng considered himself to be accommodating, not realizing that Ji Yuanfang was even more enraged.
After He Tianxiong retreated, he immediately went to Prince Liang Mansion, to inform Ji Yuanfang about his inability to hold Han Zheng.
"He Tianxiong! You are one of the Six Commanders; without Qi Zhangwu, you couldn’t even hold Han Zheng?
How old is the old fellow Chu Tianyuan? That aged man nearing the grave scared you off? Simply..."
As he was about to utter the word useless, Ji Yuanfang stifled it back.
But looking at He Tianxiong, he really wanted to curse him with those two words.
Ji Yuanfang had always been mindful of his intentions, rarely displaying emotions in front of others, but now he could not help but be furious.
That Han Zheng repeatedly thwarted his plans; his beloved concubine had suppressed her hatred for the grand plan without acting.
While the treasures bestowed upon Si Tianli had also perished at Han Zheng’s hands, he would have to deal with this person sooner or later.
Now, with Qi Zhangwu absent and He Tianxiong siding with him, it was the perfect opportunity.
Without himself taking action, the Demon Cleansing Bureau could settle Han Zheng, wouldn’t it be perfect?
Who would have thought He Tianxiong, a Commander in Dharma Manifestation Realm, appeared and retreated in disgrace, isn’t that pathetic?
"Prince, what is the meaning of this? You criticize from comfort!
Even Wei Tianqi, the elder from the Observatory, made a move. Would you say you don’t fear those mysterious guys from the Observatory?
I braved Wei Tianqi to move against Han Zheng, but Chu Tianyuan is not an ordinary elder; he is the Guardian Elder of the Elder Court!
Furthermore, Chu Tianyuan enjoys Qi Zhangwu’s deep trust and holds Qi Zhangwu’s directives; what can I do? Should I turn against them in fire and battle?"
He Tianxiong was also quite indignant.
While he had sided with Ji Yuanfang, he didn’t think himself a subordinate to Ji Yuanfang, viewing their relationship more as cooperation.
But now Ji Yuanfang was reprimanding him like one of his other subordinates, leaving He Tianxiong dissatisfied.
"Commander He implies that I am unreasonable?"
Ji Yuanfang suddenly stood up, gazing at He Tianxiong coldly, and said, "Commander He, don’t forget your status, your demands, and whose domain this Great Zhou truly is!"
Upon saying this, Ji Yuanfang’s body suddenly exuded a terrifyingly powerful aura, causing He Tianxiong’s expression to change!
At that moment, Ji Yuanfang’s aura was indeed of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, and one powerful enough to alarm even He Tianxiong, who was also of the Dharma Manifestation Realm!
