I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 215 Zhao Rongye (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Mr. Yao’s Reward)

"Sir, are you alright?"

Zhang Yan was supported by a Xuanjia Guard as he came over.

The Xuanjia Guard who was supporting him also had a pale face, showing signs of excessive burning of qi and blood, displaying a weak state.

"What happened to you?"

Zhang Yan gave a wry smile and said, "I'm incompetent. That Yue Jingtong came at us fiercely, and I couldn't even block a single move of his, causing a brother to be killed in the process."

Han Zheng fell silent for a moment, then patted his shoulder and said, "After all, the opponent was at the Middle Stage of the Xuan Gang Realm, and he came from a major sect like the Washing Sword Pavilion. It's normal for you not to be able to block his strike.

That fellow has been slain by me, so consider it avenging that brother."

Chen Jiuzhen spoke from behind Han Zheng, "It was this young brother who desperately burned his qi and blood to reach our Black Water Gang and informed Mr. Han that you were surrounded, allowing us to arrive so quickly."

Han Zheng looked at the Xuanjia Guard and nodded slightly, asking, "What's your name?"

The Xuanjia Guard, trembling with excitement, hurriedly said, "I am Li Xun."

"Decisive actions, well done. Later, go and take some elixirs to recover your qi and blood. Here's an Intermediate Elixir for you to take as well.

As long as you reach the Peak of Innate, you should be able to quickly get promoted to Team Leader."

"Thank you, Sir! Thank you, Sir!"

Li Xun took the elixir, so excited that he was almost at a loss for words.

The preciousness of an Intermediate Elixir was beyond what he had ever dared to imagine.

Even Zhang Yan, who was one of Mr. Han's close confidants, was only awarded three Intermediate Elixirs.

"Mr. Han certainly handles things generously."

Wen Jingyun at the side admired.

Even for a martial artist in the Xuan Gang Realm, Intermediate Elixirs are extremely valuable.

Someone like Wen Jingyun, a Family Head of his level, wouldn't use Intermediate Elixirs for cultivation on a regular basis, only consuming one or two when breaking through a realm.

"My brothers are willing to fight and die for me; if I just fob them off with trifles, who will truly work for me in the long run?

Everyone is not a fool; they all have a scale in their hearts."

Chen Jiuzhen thoughtfully nodded.

What Han Zheng said was simple, but in reality, most people found it difficult to achieve this.

Chen Jiuzhen had been good to his brothers in the gang before, and that's why they were willing to die for him.

However, Chen Jiuzhen had done this subconsciously and hadn't articulated it as clearly as Han Zheng.

At this time, in the government office of the Demon Cleansing Bureau in Smoke Wave Prefecture, Zhao Rongye, who would usually be napping at this hour, was now pacing back and forth in the room, looking very anxious.

"Why can't he just honestly and stably do what he's supposed to do?

You've already controlled the situation in the entire Smoke Wave Prefecture and accomplished feats that no Demon Sweeping Captain has achieved for decades; just quietly wait for your promotion.

Why must you investigate those old and stale issues! Damn it, truly damn it!"

Zhao Rongye's normally calm face was now a picture of ferocity.

He really didn't want to act against Han Zheng; he truly didn't.

This young man was far more dreadful in both tactics and thought than Liao Hongsheng; his strength was not inferior to Liao's, and perhaps even stronger.

Thus, from the beginning, Zhao Rongye had been very cooperative, as long as Han Zheng didn't touch upon those past issues. Zhao Rongye was even willing to shamelessly praise Han Zheng.

He was old and only wanted to live out the rest of his days in peace and contentment.

But one after another, they didn't want to let him live easily!

At this moment, a Xuanjia Guard rushed in hurriedly.

He was one of Zhao Rongye's trusted subordinates, Yu Fang.

But to outsiders, this old man Zhao Rongye didn't appear to have any confidants.

Those few who were close to him were only seeking a patron, after all, he was at least a Colonel of Demon Sweeping in the Xuan Gang Realm.

So, after Han Zheng took control of the Smoke Wave Prefecture's situation, all the Xuanjia Guards promptly switched allegiance to Han Zheng, willingly working for him. Yu Fang was no exception.

However, in reality, Yu Fang was still one of Zhao Rongye's insiders, always just concealing it before.

Because Yu Fang was raised by Zhao Rongye from a young age and was essentially Zhao Rongye's foster son.

He was originally an orphan, raised and taught martial arts by Zhao Rongye outside, and it only made sense that he joined the Demon Cleansing Bureau of Smoke Wave Prefecture when he came of age.

Although he appeared very close to Zhao Rongye on normal days, his intimacy was just like other confidants who flocked to Zhao Rongye—measured with precision.

"Is there any news from outside?"

Zhao Rongye quickly looked towards Yu Fang.

Yu Fang said solemnly, "Mr. Han, something seems off."

Even in private, Yu Fang had always referred to him as Mr. Han for years, fearing that calling him foster father would cause trouble if overheard by others.

"Han Zheng isn't dead?"

"Not only is Han Zheng not dead, but Yue Jingtong has also been killed by Han Zheng in return.

One of Zhang Yan's Xuanjia Guards burned his qi and blood to inform Chen Jiuzhen and the others at the fastest speed to come for support.

Wei Wenruo and his group did not act and have already left; by now, Han Zheng and his followers have returned to Smoke Wave Prefecture!"

Zhao Rongye's face was filled with disbelief, "Didn't Han Zheng just kill General Black Toad? How could he still have the energy to kill Yue Jingtong?

Furthermore, there were Wei Wenruo and Zuo Xinglie. Both disciples from top-tier sects—are they all trash? Three of them couldn't even kill Han Zheng?"

Yu Fang responded with a bitter smile, "They didn't make a move at all, only Yue Jingtong acted against Han Zheng and ended up being killed in return.

Plus, Chen Jiuzhen and the rest arrived too quickly; Wei Wenruo and the others chose to reconcile and didn't even conflict with Han Zheng."

Zhao Rongye's body swayed slightly, and he took a deep breath.

The strength of Han Zheng was somewhat beyond his expectations; the strategies he used against Liao Hongsheng were utterly useless against Han Zheng.

What's more, Han Zheng had started to investigate that incident. If he stayed any longer, he might be exposed at any time!

He could no longer stay in the Demon Cleansing Bureau of Smoke Wave Prefecture!

"Let's leave Smoke Wave Prefecture before Han Zheng returns. You continue to stay in the government office of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, always watching Han Zheng's movements.

Although you have followed me, no one outside knows our relationship. There are many in the Demon Cleansing Bureau of Smoke Wave Prefecture who have followed me; Han Zheng won't care about this."

After instructing Yu Fang, Zhao Rongye immediately headed towards the exit.

But before he could leave the main gate of the Demon Cleansing Bureau's government office, Pei Xiuyuan blocked the entrance, looking at Zhao Rongye with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Mr. Zhao, where are you off to?"

Zhao Rongye coughed a few times and sighed, "I'm getting old, feeling a bit sore in the throat, going to the pharmacy to buy some cough medicine. Do you not have official duties today, Mr. Pei?"

Pei Xiuyuan said indifferently, "How could I not have official duties? I'm very busy indeed, personally tasked by Mr. Han before he left."

"Oh? What matter?"

Zhao Rongye asked casually, actually just wanting to exchange a few polite words before sending Pei Xiuyuan away.

"It's to keep an eye on you, Mr. Zhao!"

Pei Xiuyuan enunciated each word, his gaze fixed on Zhao Rongye, his hand already resting on the hilt of his sword.

A chill surged in Zhao Rongye's heart, and he forced a smile, "What do you mean, Mr. Pei? Why are you watching me?"

"If you want no one to know, don't do it yourself."

Pei Xiuyuan's smile was ambiguous, "Mr. Zhao, do you really think nobody knows about the things you've done?

Mr. Han instructed me to keep a close eye on you before he left, in short, you're not going to leave the Demon Cleansing Bureau even half a step."

The smile vanished from Zhao Rongye's face, and a shade of darkness crossed his elderly visage.

"Pei Xiuyuan, are you really willing to die for Han Zheng? What has he given you?

As far as I know, a team leader like Zhang Yan gets more than you, and you're a Demon Sweeping Captain, aren't you ashamed?

Plus, don't forget, without Han Zheng, the person who should be in charge of Smoke Wave Prefecture is you!"

Pei Xiuyuan replied coolly, "I am a person of limited magnanimity and narrow-mindedness.

Up to this moment, I'm still dissatisfied with those above, why don't they look up to me, Pei Xiuyuan? Why haven't I been in charge of Smoke Wave Prefecture after all these years?

To put it unpleasantly, if the person in charge of Smoke Wave Prefecture now wasn't Mr. Han, I would still be dissatisfied.

But Mr. Han is stronger and more capable than I am, and he even saved my life last time without holding a grudge. If I still opposed him, would I even be human?

I may not respect others, but I do respect Mr. Han!"

As his words fell, Pei Xiuyuan drew his long sword and pointed it at Zhao Rongye.

"Mr. Zhao, just stay rightfully within the Demon Cleansing Bureau's government office and wait for Mr. Han's return.

After all these years of acquaintance, I don't wish for us to come to blows with swords."
