I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 578 General Guardian

Working at the Demon Suppression Pass is very simple, with only two choices: life or death.

Chen Baxian summarized the two things Han Zheng needed to do in just two words.

Either kill demons or be killed by demons.

After saying all this, Chen Baxian arranged a place for Han Zheng to stay, told him to rest assured, recover his strength that he lost from being pursued by Dugu Guicang, and then left directly.

After Chen Baxian left, Yan Xuankong finally exhaled lightly.

Han Zheng said in surprise, "Old Yan, why do you seem to be a bit afraid of Chen Zhenfu? Logically, you should be his former superior.

And Chen Zhenfu said he remembers your past kindness and won’t reveal your identity."

Yan Xuankong glared at Han Zheng and said irritably, "What do you know? It’s a bit complicated.

The mess I left back then was solved by Chen Baxian, and even with a big heart, I still feel a little guilty.

Also, a junior now has reached a realm I didn’t even dare to imagine before. Although I don’t feel jealous, I’m still envious and feeling complicated."

Han Zheng lightly patted his shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, I will definitely reach that step in the future, and you’ll get used to it sooner or later."

Yan Xuankong: "..."

"By the way, Old Yan, you’ve been to the Demon Suppression Pass once. What’s the background of the General Guardian of the Demon Suppression Pass?"

Just now, Chen Baxian introduced the general situation of the Demon Suppression Pass to Han Zheng, but he didn’t mention the General Guardian.

Yan Xuankong said in a low voice, "Big background, the General Guardian should be a top-tier expert at the Heavenly Position level, standing at the peak of Martial Arts.

Above the Dharma Manifestation Realm is the Heavenly Position. What is the Heavenly Position? It’s equal to the heavens!

The current peak of Martial Arts is the Heavenly Position, and Martial Saint Master Yu Jiucang took half a step beyond the Heavenly Position, almost reaching the level of a Divine.

But after Master Yu Jiucang, no one else has been able to take that half step, although the Heavenly Position remains the strongest existence in this world.

Currently, the known Heavenly Position experts do not exceed five people in the world. In the Martial World, there are three people: Temple Master of the Heavenly Net Cave Temple Jiu Xiao Real Person, Longshu Zen Master of Xuankong Temple, and Palace Master of Seven Killings Demon Palace Han Tianxing.

These three happen to represent the Taoist, Buddhist, and Demonic sects, respectively.

The Court has two people openly. One has an unknown identity, said to only appear when Great Zhou faces a life-and-death crisis.

The other is the General Guardian of the Demon Suppression Pass, Zhuge Qingshan.

However, the Court is suspected to have another figure, who is our Grand Commander Qi Zhangwu.

But the Grand Commander is only suspected to have entered the Heavenly Position without showing its realm, so let’s leave him out for now.

The situation at the Demon Suppression Pass is complex, with military, imperial family members, and people from the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

Occasionally, people from the Observatory come here, so whoever becomes the General Guardian must balance these forces well.

Zhuge Qingshan’s identity is the most complicated. He almost doesn’t need to balance because he has connections with these different factions.

Zhuge Qingshan reportedly started as a scholar who didn’t know Martial Arts. After the imperial examination, he served as a military advisor and after the army was defeated during a frontier rebellion, he fell into a secret realm by accident and gained an opportunity, joining the Demon Cleansing Bureau afterward.

Later, due to his excellent performance at the local Demon Cleansing Bureau, he joined the Capital Demon Cleansing Department, accidentally met the Princess, and the two fell in love, leading to him becoming a Prince Consort and thus part of the imperial family.

After becoming part of the imperial family, he couldn’t continue staying at the Demon Cleansing Bureau, so he left, during which he befriended an Elder from the Observatory and learned arrays by becoming his disciple.

Later Zhuge Qingshan’s cultivation advanced rapidly, entering the Dharma Manifestation Realm. When Great Zhou’s strength was waning, and demons attacked the Demon Suppression Pass.

With no one available on Great Zhou’s side, he led the Demon Cleansing Bureau, Military, and Dragon Martial Bureau to support the Demon Suppression Pass, repelled the demon attack, and himself stepped into the Heavenly Position during the fierce battle.

Since then, Zhuge Qingshan has remained at the Demon Suppression Pass, serving as the General Guardian to protect it peacefully for three hundred years.

However, Zhuge Qingshan is already quite old, Heavenly Position beings have a life span of five hundred years, and Zhuge Qingshan should be over five hundred and ten years old now, even exceeding the limit of his life span.

Last time, when demons attacked the Demon Suppression Pass, Zhuge Qingshan barely managed to block a Demon Saint from the Demon Clan, but it was the Grand Commander who fought desperately to ultimately kill two Demon Saints and stop the demon army.

So, although Zhuge Qingshan is named General Guardian now, in reality, he doesn’t manage things much anymore, only serving as a mascot to balance various powers."

Han Zheng nodded slightly, having heard about that battle.

Qi Zhangwu used himself as bait, setting up the Dutian Blood Slaughter Array to kill two Demon Saints, severely injure two Demon Saints, preventing large-scale demon attacks on the Demon Suppression Pass for decades.

"This General Guardian Zhuge Qingshan, his life really seems smooth, like there were no waves at all."

Han Zheng couldn’t help but sigh.

A common scholar’s origin inadvertently gains a chance, gets power, is valued and trained after joining the Demon Cleansing Bureau, and later marries the Princess to become a Prince Consort, and during Great Zhou’s crisis becomes Great Zhou’s pillar.

However, this smooth life also indicates he possesses extremely amazing talent and overwhelming ability.

Han Zheng roughly figured out the situation at the Demon Suppression Pass. Mixing here is much simpler than at the Capital Demon Cleansing Department.

Zhuge Qingshan, the General Guardian, is a mascot balancing the forces here. Chen Baxian, his old superior, holds one of the largest official positions, making Han Zheng’s backing strong.

With no current affairs, Han Zheng and Yan Xuankong started to restore their strength.

While being chased by Dugu Guicang, Han Zheng used Blood Prison Burning Sky, and Yan Xuankong also exhausted his Incense Fire Divine Power, all requiring several days to recover.

Five days later, Chen Baxian sent a soldier to inform Han Zheng to attend a meeting.

The outer area of the Demon Suppression Pass is an array, while the inner center is hollowed out, built into large halls and houses where martial artists stationed at the Demon Suppression Pass reside internally.

Han Zheng and Yan Xuankong followed the soldier into a large hall.

Around the hall, Everlasting Lamps powered by flood dragon oil were lit, illuminating the entire hall brightly.

Han Zheng curiously observed. The whole hall was constructed of metal and inscribed with a large number of arrays for reinforcement, evidently to prevent destruction when external demons attack the Demon Suppression Pass.

At this time, Chen Baxian sat at the main seat with over two hundred martial artists below.

Among these over two hundred martial artists, eleven had Yang God Realm strength, all were Demon Hunting Guard Commanders. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

In the outside world, Yang God Realm experts can command a military force, oversee a region, but here, a dozen gather together; such a scene is rare outside the Demon Suppression Pass.

Seeing Han Zheng and Yan Xuankong enter, those Demon Hunting Guard Commanders sized up Han Zheng with various looks.

Curious, investigative, disdainful, and indifferent.

It’s common for newcomers at the Demon Suppression Pass, although generally those who come are martial artists below True Pill Realm, who fight here to condense Martial Arts True Pill, and ultimately advance to Yang God. So, everyone is somewhat familiar.

Those who have already attained Yang God and still come to the Demon Suppression Pass to fight are few, previously there was Chen Baxian, and now there’s another one, Han Zheng.

Chen Baxian pointed to Han Zheng and said calmly, "This is Han Zheng, previously serving as Grand Steward of Jing’an Guard among the thirteen guards of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, now serving as Commander of the Demon Hunting Guard, Commander of the Twelfth Guard in my Eighth Pass."

Those Demon Hunting Guard Commanders present cupped their hands in greeting to Han Zheng.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, at least they kept up appearances.

But at this moment, a tall and robust one-eyed middle-aged man in blood-colored armor said in a muffled voice, "Chen Guardian, this Lord Han previously held the position of Grand Steward of Jing’an Guard, currently as Demon Hunting Guard Commander, he is certainly qualified, and we have no objection.

But this place at the Demon Suppression Pass doesn’t have many young people, last year less than a hundred came to our Eighth Pass, and this year, fewer than ten have died.

Currently, everyone’s short of people under their command, and you’ve added another one, where will people be transferred from into the Twelfth Guard now?"
