I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

A single name had terrified Du Songquan to such a state, and Han Zheng was truly curious about who Liu Rufen was.

"Stop beating around the bush, what exactly is going on?"

Yan Xuankong chuckled in Han Zheng's mind, "This Du Songquan may look serious, but he's actually a thief and a debauchee.

He once had a sworn brother named Liu Rufen, known in the Martial World as the Gentle Breeze Swordsman, a man of great fame. Liu was very kind to Du Songquan, often guiding his martial arts, providing him with resources to cultivate, and introducing him to many significant figures in the Martial World.

Even Du Songquan's entry into the Washing Sword Pavilion was made possible because Liu Rufen had a good relationship with a transmission Elder there.

Later, when Liu Rufen was killed by Demons, his wife was taken in by Du Songquan.

This guy had a decent appearance when he was young, so behind the scenes, he seduced Liu Rufen's wife, gaining access to many resources that Liu once had.

It was with these resources that Du Songquan quickly rose within the Washing Sword Pavilion, and at the same time, he always downplayed his relationship with Liu Rufen in the Martial World.

Now, so many years have passed, who would still remember what relationship a dead man had with Du Songquan? Thus, no one talks about it anymore.

However, Du Songquan cares most about his reputation, and if this matter were to spread, he would be utterly disgraced.

Just after his sworn brother had died, he seduced the widow—this is outright beastly behavior.

Moreover, as far as I know, back then Liu Rufen had many friends and brothers. Although most of them weren't very successful, a few have reached the Dan Sea Realm and might even have solidified their pills.

What do you think, would they cause trouble for Du Songquan if they knew about his actions?"

Han Zheng was speechless after hearing this. Was it really to 'nurture your brother's wife'?

"How did you come to know such a confidential matter?"

Yan Xuankong chuckled again, "The Supreme Elder of the Washing Sword Pavilion, Wei Danqing, told me. I have a good relationship with that old fellow; although he looks like a sage, his biggest hobby is peeping and prying into others' secrets.

It's been over sixty years now, not sure whether that old guy is dead or not."

At that moment, Han Zheng realized the true value of Yan Xuankong.

His experience was too deep, and he once dominated the Southern Mountain, knowing many secrets about the major forces there.

Seeing Han Zheng silent, Du Songquan became even more anxious.

Even amidst the roaring echo of the Sword Array's Gang Qi eruption, Du Songquan didn't dare to raise his voice and could only harshly whisper with a fierce face, "Speak up! What do you mean by bringing up Liu Rufen?"

Han Zheng also lowered his voice and chuckled, "The Elder of Washing Sword Pavilion, 'Heavenly Bathe Sword' Du Songquan, I never expected you to be a shameless rogue who betrays your brother and seduces his widow.

Liu Rufen was like a real brother to you, he taught you martial arts, gave you resources, even helped you enter the Washing Sword Pavilion.

And the moment he died, you took his wife to your bed and seized all the resources he left behind.

Du Songquan, you might look human, but your actions are far from humane.

Though this all happened decades ago, and most people in the Martial World don't even know who Liu Rufen was, Elder Du's reputation is not small.

If I were to spread this piece of gossip, don't you think many would find it interesting?

Moreover, Liu Rufen had many friends and brothers back then, and I heard that a few of them have become Grandmaster-level figures now.

What do you think their reaction would be if they knew about the past?"

Upon hearing Han Zheng's words, Du Songquan trembled.

How did Han Zheng know about something that happened so long ago?

He had been cautious enough over the years, keeping Liu Rufen's wife secluded and always disguising himself when visiting, being extremely careful.

And over the years, he had always been downplaying his relationship with Liu Rufen, except for a few of Liu's brothers back then, nobody knew about their past.

How could a junior like Han Zheng possibly know so much?

"What do you want to do?"

Han Zheng calmly stated, "Elder Du, it's not about what I want to do, but what you want to do.

Yue Jingtong and I fought a fair duel, resolving our grudges, whether he dies or I die, it was a clear resolution, no one else to blame.

But now, you come aggressively with people from Washing Sword Pavilion seeking explanations from me, what does that mean?

Or does it mean that the Washing Sword Pavilion, as a significant sect of the Southern Mountain, simply doesn't abide by the rules?"

Du Songquan gritted his teeth, "Rest assured, once I return, I will explain the situation to the higher-ups."

Yue Jingtong's biggest supporter inside the Washing Sword Pavilion is me. If I decide to keep the peace, no one else will pursue this matter.

However, Han Zheng, you must swear a Primordial Spirit oath that you will absolutely not speak of this matter!"

Han Zheng showed Du Songquan a chilling smile and said, "Elder Du, what are you thinking? Such an old man and still so naive?

You think merely keeping the peace would make me keep your secret? Impossible!

I'll hold onto this secret for a lifetime!"

Yan Xuankong sneered in Han Zheng's mind, "Kid, you said I was too hasty and greedy, but aren't you the same now?"

Han Zheng replied indifferently, "Of course it's not the same. The one who found out your secret could easily control you, but Du Songquan doesn't have that ability."

Back then, Yan Xuankong threatened people without any real leverage, but Han Zheng's greatest advantage was that he had leverage.

"Han Zheng! You're going too far!"

Du Songquan shouted angrily, "Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

Han Zheng responded lightly, "Elder Du, be realistic. Are you capable of killing me?

In terms of strength, although I am at the Xuan Gang Realm, I can still hold my own against you in a fight.

In terms of position, I am the Demon Sweeping Colonel in charge of Smoke Wave Prefecture. If you use the power of the Washing Sword Pavilion to start a war with the Demon Cleansing Bureau, first see if the senior leaders of the Washing Sword Pavilion would agree.

What's done is done. If you don't want others to know, don't do it.

I won't make you do anything now, but when I truly need you, I hope, Elder Du, you can make the right choice."

Du Songquan trembled all over and looked at Han Zheng as if he were looking at a demon.

At this moment, he regretted it immensely.

If he had known earlier that Han Zheng somehow knew his secret, he would never have sought trouble with Han Zheng!

Du Songquan fiercely withdrew the Sword Array and shouted to the people of the Washing Sword Pavilion, "Stop!"

The people of the Washing Sword Pavilion looked at Du Songquan, utterly confused.

Han Zheng hadn't been defeated yet, and they were currently at an advantage, about to capture Chen Jiuzhen and the others. Why stop now?

"Elder, we..."

One of the Xuan Gang Realm deacons had not finished speaking when Du Songquan interrupted him.

"I have already investigated everything. Yue Jingtong and Mr. Han had a fair fight and settled their feud. This matter is now resolved, let's go back."

Those Xuan Gang Realm deacons were all utterly baffled.

Earlier it was you shouting for a fight, and now just after a few exchanges, the grudge is settled?

However, since Du Songquan was the Elder and Yue Jingtong's biggest backer inside the Washing Sword Pavilion,

and he said the grudge was settled, what could they do?

Du Songquan took one deep look at Han Zheng, waved his hand, and led the people away.

Pei Xiuyuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

If the fight had continued, they would have truly been unable to hold on.

Ji Tianhong was even more relieved that he had stood firm and not turned against them; otherwise, things would have been disastrous now.

Now, he was utterly convinced about Han Zheng.

It seemed as if Han Zheng had fortunes on his side, capable of smoothly resolving any danger.

Yuwen Xizhen tried his hardest and couldn't kill him; the Washing Sword Pavilion even sent a Dan Sea Realm Quasi-Master, but they couldn't defeat him.

Ji Tianhong even made a decision that as long as Han Zheng was alive, he would stand firmly on Mr. Han's side!

"Mr. Han, why did the people from the Washing Sword Pavilion just inexplicably withdraw?" Pei Xiuyuan asked in surprise.

Han Zheng smiled and said, "Perhaps Elder Du recognized the righteousness and the veracity of right and wrong, knowing he shouldn't have troubled us."

Recognized the veracity of right and wrong?

Did that have anything to do with the tyrannical and domineering behavior Du Songquan displayed earlier?

But Pei Xiuyuan didn't ask further, as since Du Songquan had declared the feud resolved, that meant the matter was indeed resolved.
