I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 214 The Same Tactics (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Mr. Yao’s Reward)

Looking at the witless woman, well-built teammates, and his own crumbling self,

Wei Wenruo took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He could clearly see a flicker of killing intent in Han Zheng's eyes; if they didn't handle the situation well this time, Han Zheng would truly kill them!

Although Wei Wenruo had confidence in his own strength, he was far from reassured facing Han Zheng and so many martial artists from the Xuan Gang Realm.

Even adding Zuo Xinglie to the mix wouldn't help, let alone having Bai Ru Xue as a deadweight.

Bai Ru Xue was under his charge, and he had to bring her back safely, or he wouldn't be able to explain himself to the Bai Family.

The Wei Family and Bai Family had been on good terms for generations, and a dispute could arise over Bai Ru Xue's situation.

Wei Wenruo turned his gaze to Han Zheng and took a deep breath, "Mr. Han, Yue Jingtong can barely be considered a good friend of ours, but all the time we've known him put together doesn't even exceed a month.

You had agreed before this battle to settle the scores, divide life and death, and resolve grudges.

Even if Yue Jingtong is dead, none of us will seek revenge for him; that would be against the rules.

The Wei Family from Yanshan and the Great Yi Archery School both abide by the rules, naturally, we won't break them.

As for Bai Ru Xue, I'll apologize to you on her behalf.

She has been spoiled since childhood and sometimes acts without thinking.

Her words can't represent us, nor can they represent the Bai Family; I hope Mr. Han won't take offense at the words of a young lady."

Han Zheng looked at Wei Wenruo with slight surprise.

This youth seemed remarkably clear-headed, making these statements to suppress his own killing intent.

First, he mentioned that his ties with Yue Jingtong weren't deep—that his death was just that, no one was intent on seeking vengeance.

Then he pointed out that the battle was a personal feud between Han Zheng and Yue Jingtong, and had nothing to do with them; the Wei Family from Yanshan and the Great Yi Archery School wouldn't get involved.

And finally, although Bai Ru Xue rashly acted out earlier, she was thoughtless, and as a man, Han Zheng wouldn't take it to heart against a young girl, right?

In fact, being able to say all this was enough proof that Wei Wenruo and his companions truly weren't on the same side as Yue Jingtong.

Moreover, Han Zheng was slightly curious as to how someone with Wei Wenruo's disposition ended up in the company of Yue Jingtong.

After a moment's thought, Han Zheng gestured towards Wen Jingyun and the others, "Everyone calm down, what's with all this tension?"

Wen Jingyun and the others, hearing Han Zheng's words, quickly withdrew their Gang Qi but still watched Wei Wenruo and his two companions with vigilance.

Zuo Xinglie gave a cold huff, also putting away his bow and arrow.

"Master Wei, I have no intention of being enemies with you.

I had just gone to eradicate a Great Demon, and when I returned, I found you lying in ambush here.

While Yue Jingtong is dead, this Miss Bai seems to hate me enough to gnash her teeth, so it's not surprising that I'm suspicious.

All of you come from great factions if you truly wanted to deal with me, there would have been plenty of opportunities in the future."

Hearing Han Zheng speak this way, Wei Wenruo immediately breathed a sigh of relief, gently shaking his head, "Mr. Han, please don't take the powers backing us for fools.

Without a serious life-and-death vendetta, who would want to engage in a fight to the death with the Demon Cleansing Department?

The matter with Yue Jingtong is his own; it has nothing to do with us. We were simply dragged along by him."

Han Zheng nodded, "Since that's the case, you are all free to leave at any time.

Of course, if you wish to visit Smoke Wave Prefecture, I would be most welcoming, as long as you abide by the law.

However, there is one more thing I'd like to ask Master Wei."

"What is it?"

Han Zheng narrowed his eyes, "How did Yue Jingtong, so far away at the Washing Sword Pavilion, come to know the news of the Yue Family's annihilation so quickly?"

First, it was the Black Toad General of East Liang Mountain, and after that, Yue Jingtong, who bore a grudge against him.

These tactics were all too familiar.

In fact, if it weren't for Wei Wenruo being so alert, Han Zheng might even have had to face three of the younger generation's top talents from the Southern Mountain.

Wei Wenruo said, "Bai Ru Xue and I were traveling down the mountain and encountered Yue Jingtong; initially, it was the three of us traveling together.

So, Yue Jingtong did not know about the destruction of the Yue Family at first, and our intended destination was not Smoke Wave Prefecture."

But at this time, someone who claimed to be a distant relative of the Yue Family came to inform Yue Jingtong about these matters, and Yue Jingtong immediately fell into a rage, wanting to come to Smoke Wave Prefecture to seek revenge on you, Mr. Han."

Suddenly, Wen Jingyun beside him said, "Absolutely impossible!

The Yue Family only had so many people. When the Yue Family was destroyed, I personally checked each name off a list.

I've sealed all the Yue Family members' cultivations and thrown them into the mines to labor, and I make sure to count them every day—there hasn't been a single person missing these days.

This person claims to be a distant relation of the Yue Family, unless he is someone's illegitimate child and thus unrecorded in the family registry."

Han Zheng sneered, "The same old tricks. I should know who it is now.

Since you all have come, there's no need to leave. Follow me to the Demon Cleansing Bureau's government office to watch a good show.

If all goes well, today I might be able to unearth the murderer who plotted against Lord Liao."

Wei Wenruo couldn't understand what Han Zheng and the others were talking about, but it seemed to be related to the current situation in Smoke Wave Prefecture.

"Mr. Han, may we leave now?"

Han Zheng replied indifferently, "Please, feel free. I certainly won't stop you."

After saying this, Han Zheng directly led Wen Jingyun and their group back to Smoke Wave Prefecture.

Wei Wenruo watched their departing figures disappear, and he let out a sigh of relief.

Only now did they truly feel safe.

Zuo Xinglie curled his lips and said, "Brother Wei, why do I get the feeling that you are afraid of that Han Zheng?

Although Han Zheng's strength is indeed formidable, we won't know the outcome of victory or defeat until we fight."

Wei Wenruo looked at Zuo Xinglie, speechless, "So what if you win? Can you get out of Smoke Wave Prefecture?

This is someone else's territory. If Han Zheng really wanted to act on his killing intent, both you and I would have to answer for it here today."

What truly alarmed Wei Wenruo about Han Zheng was not his strength, but rather the decisive aura he displayed while slaying Yue Jing.

Han Zheng didn't care about the Washing Sword Pavilion behind Yue Jingtong and killed him; he certainly wouldn't be afraid of the Wei Family of Yanshan or the Great Yi Archery Faction.

It wasn't that Wei Wenruo was afraid of Han Zheng; he simply didn't want to throw away his life over such pointless matters.

Zuo Xinglie glanced at Yue Jingtong's corpse and asked, "How should we deal with Brother Yue's body?"

Wei Wenruo's eyes showed a hint of disgust, "Just bury it anywhere. Informing the people from the Washing Sword Pavilion will suffice."

Previously, Yue Jingtong's petty schemes to showcase his heroic spirit and boost his reputation, Wei Wenruo hadn't taken to heart.

He even secretly contributed to the momentum, trying to push Bai Ru Xue forward.

But today, Yue Jingtong actually wanted to use them, dragging them into a conflict with Han Zheng, which was quite revolting.

"Is that really okay? After all, we knew each other for a time."

Zuo Xinglie was still hesitant.

"Brother Zuo, you think we knew each other, but some merely wanted to use us."

Wei Wenruo sighed and explained Yue Jingtong's thoughts and actions during their journey in detail to Zuo Xinglie.

Zuo Xinglie was actually a decent person, just a little too arrogant, not the sharpest tool in the shed, and somewhat impulsive.

That's why Wei Wenruo was willing to speak to him about these things.

"To think this guy had such intentions! And I even treated him like a brother!

If you ask me, we don't even need to bury him, just throw him into the wasteland to feed the wild dogs!"

Zuo Xinglie spat vehemently.

Wei Wenruo looked at him, somewhat speechless.

You've only known Yue Jingtong for a few days and you're already calling him brother? You certainly have too many 'brothers'.

"Let's bury him still. After all, Yue Jingtong has the Washing Sword Pavilion behind him. Since we are here, it would be somewhat improper to ignore this."

Wei Wenruo was cautious by nature, not wanting to offend anyone.

After dealing with Yue Jingtong's corpse, Wei Wenruo looked in the direction of Smoke Wave Prefecture, his eyes revealing an unusual gleam.

The Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department actually had such an outstanding talent emerge; once this person grows up, I'm afraid that Southern Mountain will be troubled again.

With Han Zheng's way of doing things, decisive and sharp, like a sharp knife, those who face him either have to break this knife or be shattered by it; there are no other options.
