I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

"So I painstakingly eliminated all the hidden dangers in the Smoke Wave Prefecture, finally steering it onto the right path, only to become the bridal dressmaker for others, to sit and watch them pluck the fruits of my labor?"

Han Zheng sneered coldly.

Even a clay figure has some anger, let alone Han Zheng.

If there were some trouble on Kai Ping Prefecture's side that required his urgent attention, which meant he could not continue to oversee Kai Ping Prefecture, Han Zheng could understand that.

But the fact was that someone coveted the juicy piece he held in his hands and wanted to pick the fruit for themselves—how could Han Zheng tolerate this?

Wen Tingyun said with some guilt, "It's also due to my and Elder Xu's incompetence.

Although I used to be the steward of the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department in name, in reality, I was only Chen Zhenfu's assistant, and my power came from Chen Zhenfu.

Therefore, although I have now condensed a Martial Arts True Pill and been promoted to Garrison Captain, my experience is still insufficient.

Although Elder Xu has the deepest experience, he is, after all, old and has long been in a semi-retired state. He does not contend or compete on ordinary days; his influence doesn't compare to the other three.

Wu Yunfei forcibly wanted his disciple to take over Smoke Wave Prefecture, and the other two Garrison Captains had their own demands. They supported Wu Yunfei, and naturally, Wu Yunfei would reciprocate on other matters.

So in these past few days during internal meetings at headquarters, Elder Xu and I, two against three, have argued with them many times but to no avail. In the end, we had to agree to let Cui Zeyuan take charge of Smoke Wave Prefecture."

Han Zheng shook his head, "Lord Wen, you don't need to blame yourself. You and Elder Xu are willing to speak up for me, and for that, I'm already deeply grateful.

But if Wu Yunfei and the others are doing this, is it with Chen Zhenfu's tacit consent?"

Han Zheng didn't really hold much resentment towards Wen Tingyun and Xu Cunbao.

He was new to the Demon Cleansing Bureau, and Wen Tingyun and Xu Cunbao had promoted him exceptionally, treating him quite well already.

Facing the other three Garrison Captains, they could have completely sold him out; it wasn't necessary to fall out with the others over him.

Yet, they still chose to speak a fair word for him. For the inexperienced Wen Tingyun and the about-to-retire Xu Cunbao, this was already the best they could do.

So now, Han Zheng just wanted to ask whether Chen Baxian was aware of this matter or not.

Having been at the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department for some time, Han Zheng had only heard of Chen Baxian's various deeds, mostly praise, of course.

But if Chen Baxian was also so unclear in reward and punishment, Han Zheng might have to consider his future development.

Wen Tingyun said, "It can be considered tacit consent from Chen Zhenfu. After all, Chen Zhenfu's initial preparation to support Huainan Road was a personal act, but Wu Yunfei and the others contributed as well, and they fought bravely in Huainan Road, achieving much merit.

Chen Zhenfu has always rewarded contributions; with the achievements Wu Yunfei and the others have made, now that they want a Smoke Wave Prefecture for their disciple, Chen Zhenfu couldn't directly refuse.

However, I did report your matter to Chen Zhenfu, and he immediately responded, acknowledging that although you Han Zheng didn't go against the Smell Fragrance Sect, you stabilized Southern Mountain and your accomplishments are no less than those of Cui Zeyuan and the others.

Thus, Chen Zhenfu gave you two options.

If you're really unwilling to let someone pluck your fruit, then Chen Zhenfu won't forcibly take away Smoke Wave Prefecture; he'll find other ways to compensate Wu Yunfei more, to preserve your position.

If you're willing to yield Smoke Wave Prefecture to Cui Zeyuan, Chen Zhenfu won't let you suffer grievances.

Now that the forces of the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department have returned and personnel changes are beginning, there were only the Yu Character Camp and Kui Character Camp at headquarters before, but now there are as many as twelve camps.

The Kui Character Camp will not disband. If you're willing to give up Smoke Wave Prefecture, then the Kui Character Camp will be handed over to you directly.

Currently, the Kui Character Camp has over two hundred elite Xuan Armor soldiers, including Su Wuming and Ye Liuyun who have stepped into the Xuan Gang Realm, all under your command."

Han Zheng was stunned; he hadn't expected Chen Baxian to be so generous.

Without the position of Demon Sweeping Captain at Smoke Wave Prefecture, he was given charge of a stronger Kui Character Camp.

Moreover, the Kui Character Camp had already consisted of the elite left behind in Southern Mountain; now, it included Su Wuming and Ye Liuyun, two Xuan Gang Realm individuals.

One could say that as soon as Han Zheng took over the Kui Character Camp, it would almost immediately become the strongest camp in the entire Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department.

And Han Zheng wouldn't have to worry about experiencing the same cold reception he faced when he first arrived at Smoke Wave Prefecture.

Han Zheng himself originated from the Kui Character Camp, and Su Wuming and Ye Liuyun were his close friends. Other Demon Sweeping Captains might be unwilling to serve under someone else if they were in charge of the Kui Character Camp, but there was no issue with Han Zheng.

He had also led many Xuanjia Guards from the Kui Character Camp on missions while at headquarters before, and each time he was invincible, his reputation and power had long been established, so taking over the Kui Character Camp was no pressure at all.

Without much hesitation, Han Zheng said in a deep voice, "No need to choose anymore, I am willing to give up Smoke Wave Prefecture and take over the Kui Character Camp."

The bigwigs had extended an olive branch, and Han Zheng had to grab hold of it.

If he stubbornly clung to Smoke Wave Prefecture, it would be as good as rejecting Chen Baxian's kindness, making things awkward for Xu Cunbao and Wen Tingyun, and also completely offending Wu Yunfei.

Besides, if Han Zheng continued to stay here, at most he would quietly cultivate and accumulate experience, and wouldn't be able to get any more benefits.

With the Yuwen Family and Yue Family eliminated, what was left were his own people, and Han Zheng could not take action against them.

By giving up Smoke Wave Prefecture to take over the Kui Character Camp, not only would Han Zheng's power greatly increase, but he would also have the experience of commanding a camp.

In this way, his record within the Demon Cleansing Department would almost be considered perfect.

He had carried out missions at headquarters, garrisoned a territory externally, and now he was taking command of a camp, which could be said to be an all-rounded talent.

Similarly, his 'suffering in silence' in Chen Baxian's eyes meant that this young man was sensible, feeling that he had been wronged by such actions.

Wen Tingyun and Xu Cunbao would also feel more guilty for not being able to keep Han Zheng.

Indeed, upon hearing Han Zheng say this, the look of guilt on Wen Tingyun's face deepened a bit.

"Han Zheng, you've been wronged this time. Wu Yunfei and his group are taking advantage of their merits to behave outrageously, and even Chen Zhenfu is very dissatisfied.

They have just returned from pacifying the Smell Fragrance Sect and can't be touched for now.

But this matter is not over, and if there's a chance in the future, I will certainly retrieve this loss for you!"

A sharp look flashed in Wen Tingyun's eyes.

This woman had always been impulsive and reckless in her actions. This time, she had bowed her head unwillingly due to the situation, which made her very angry.

Now seeing Han Zheng being so 'understanding', she felt even more indignant.

In the eyes of others, Han Zheng was her man, and now that Han Zheng had been wronged, it was as if she, Wen Tingyun, had bowed and submitted.

In short, this matter was not over!

At this moment, Han Zheng curiously asked, "Elder Wen, they have gone too far, and even drawn Chen Zhenfu's dissatisfaction, how dare they do such a thing? Does Chen Zhenfu not have the means to suppress them?"

Chen Baxian was very powerful, and because of expelling the Black Mountain Demon, his reputation in Smoke Wave Prefecture was also very great.

But now, Wu Yunfei and his group dared to be so outrageous; this made Han Zheng feel a bit surprised.

It was as if Pei Xiuyuan, were he to make some merits now, would dare to ask Han Zheng for a reward directly, even disregarding Han Zheng's feelings; Han Zheng would directly slap his face.

To be meritorious is to receive a reward, but this reward I give you is yours.

If I don't give it to you, you can't come asking for it!

Wen Tingyun sighed and said, "Speaking of which, these are also some old issues.

The previous Garrison Commander Yan Xuankong was eager for quick success and insatiable. His own power was indeed strong, but he left Southern Mountain entirely eroded.

Before I condensed the Martial Arts True Pill, the four major Garrison Commandants of Southern Mountain were all Grandmasters who had condensed Martial Arts True Pills, and there were also thirteen ordinary Garrison Commandants in the Dan Sea Realm. Such a force in other territories could only be considered mediocre.

But actually, these forces only came into being after Chen Zhenfu took office. When Yan Xuankong served as the Southern Mountain Garrison Commander, not even a single Grandmaster who had condensed a Martial Arts True Pill existed in the entire Southern Mountain, and there were only five Garrison Commandants in the Dan Sea Realm, including Elder Xu.

So after Chen Zhenfu expelled the Black Mountain Demon, and the rebellions around Capital City were quelled, he sent some people to fill the vacuum of Southern Mountain authority.

Wu Yunfei and the other two are originally from the headquarters of the Capital Demon Suppression Department and were sent to support Southern Mountain. Even when they came to Southern Mountain, they brought along a batch of their own subordinates.

They were not cultivated by Chen Zhenfu, and they had their own backers in the Capital City.

Although they would definitely obey Chen Zhenfu's orders on the surface, in reality, they each had their own scheming, vying for power and profits in secret.

Chen Zhenfu was hindered by their status and could not deal with them severely.

Moreover, if he did deal with them, Southern Mountain's strength would be halved in an instant.

So in the end, this disaster all started with Yan Xuankong; that man was truly a calamity!"
