I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 272: Idiot, Courting Death!

Zhang Jiangbei's suggestion was indeed comprehensive, but regretfully, it was of little use.

Han Zheng knew that a covert investigation was certainly the safer approach, but the problem was they didn't have that much time.

This place was Taishan Prefecture, and they were Xuanjia Guards of the Kui Character Camp, unable to stay here long-term.

Moreover, if Tang Jue and his team completed their mission first, it would make Han Zheng and his team appear to be dallying uselessly.

"An undercover investigation definitely won't work, we don't have the energy, nor the time.

Rather than waiting for the opponent to slip up, it's more reliable to investigate personally.

Zhang brother, please write me a visiting card. I need to go to Asking Sword Manor and see for myself."

With Han Zheng so persistent, Zhang Jiangbei did not offer much persuasion and immediately wrote a visiting card.

However, Ye Liuyun frowned as he looked at the nearly cautious and humble tone of the visiting card.

"Zhang brother, we are after all from the Demon Cleansing Bureau. While the visiting card need not be overbearing, a normal tone would suffice. Is there a need to be so servile?"

Zhang Jiangbei gave a wry smile and said, "Ye brother, you don't understand. The people of Asking Sword Manor are sensitive and easily feel inferior; the more aggressive you are, the more they think you're looking down on them, and they go crazy.

So, when dealing with them, being careful is always right. This is the experience we've accumulated over the years."

Han Zheng nodded and said, "Brother Zhang is experienced, let's follow his advice."

Professional tasks should be left to the professionals, and it was best for Han Zheng and the other outsiders not to interject in such matters.

Only Han Zheng and three others were heading to Asking Sword Manor; they did not bring along any other Xuanjia Guards from the Kui Character Camp.

Given the special situation of Asking Sword Manor, there was no need to start with a tense atmosphere.

Zhang Jiangbei led Han Zheng and the others out of Taishan Prefecture, heading south for about fifty li, entering a valley with beautiful and pleasant scenery.

Here, exotic flowers and herbs were everywhere, and spiritual fields and medicinal herbs were flourishing—it truly was a Feng Shui treasure land.

Even Han Zheng could distinctly feel that the valley's nature's spiritual energy was denser than in other places.

It was normal for Asking Sword Manor, once a top sect in Southern Mountain, to occupy such a precious land.

As Zhang Jiangbei approached the gate of Asking Sword Manor, the servant guarding the door was also displaying a lazy and haughty demeanor.

Not until Zhang Jiangbei presented the visiting card did the servant lift an eyelid to glance at him, but he said nothing.

Zhang Jiangbei cordially handed over the visiting card, his demeanor calm, "Would you be so kind as to inform the manor that Han Zheng, Commander of the Demon Cleansing Bureau's Kui Character Camp, would like to see Manor Master Mo."

As he spoke, Zhang Jiangbei subtly slipped a piece of beautiful jade to the gatekeeper without leaving a trace.

It wasn't gold or silver but a piece of jade that obviously was of considerable value.

"Wait here."

After pocketing the jade and the visiting card, the servant lazily walked into the manor.

Han Zheng remained composed, Su Wuming was indifferent, while Ye Liuyun's brow was deeply furrowed, as if he could squeeze a fly to death.

He too came from a noble family. Although the Ye Family of Fuyun Valley didn't have ancestors as illustrious as Asking Sword Manor, they weren't too shabby either.

If their Ye Family servants dared to be so presumptuous, they would have been beaten to death by the Family Head long ago!

Especially since this servant knew they were from the Demon Cleansing Bureau and still dared to behave so insolently. This was simply outrageous!

"Zhang brother, has Asking Sword Manor always been this overbearing? And you actually gave that servant a gift?"

Ye Liuyun couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Jiangbei gave a bitter smile and spoke softly, "This is actually not too bad; at least they haven't given us a dirty look yet.

Do you know what it's like when the people from the Washing Sword Pavilion come to deliver supplies? Those servants from Asking Sword Manor even pick and choose, saying what Washing Sword Pavilion brought is trash.

This group is used to being arrogant; this is them being tolerable towards us already. Towards the Washing Sword Pavilion? Now that's an appalling attitude."

As for giving gifts, my trinkets might not even catch their fancy.

Asking Sword Manor is guarding such a feng shui treasure land—just casually scattering some Spiritual Medicine seeds without much attention, the annual yield of Spiritual Medicine is extremely astonishing.

Besides, Washing Sword Pavilion sends all kinds of supplies every month. Even their servants are filthy rich, so the things I bring are mainly a gesture of goodwill."

Ye Liuyun's face turned dark.

He had never seen such an absurd thing happen.

Han Zheng just calmly uttered two words: "Idiot. Courting death."

Asking Sword Manor behaves this way partly because they are confident and fearless, knowing they have become the face of Washing Sword Pavilion, which must protect them, and thus they behave arrogantly and tyrannically without restraint.

They also resent Washing Sword Pavilion for seizing their Cultivation Techniques and foundations, deliberately humiliating and troubling Washing Sword Pavilion like petulant children throwing tantrums.

But the problem is, all their actions are predicated on the notion that Washing Sword Pavilion cares about reputation and face, which allows them to live and even requires them to live well.

However, if one day Washing Sword Pavilion no longer cares about face or reputation, why would it tolerate the likes of Asking Sword Manor?

The entire Asking Sword Manor, the Mo Family, appears arrogant and prosperous, but in reality, their life and death are firmly grasped in the hands of others.

Moments later, a Mo Family servant walked out slowly, snorted lightly, and said, "Come in. The Family Head is in a good mood today and is waiting for you in the living room."

After entering Asking Sword Manor, Han Zheng's first impression was that the place did not seem to be a Martial Arts family estate.

The scenery outside the villa was picturesque with overwhelming Spiritual Energy, yet the inside was extravagantly luxurious, even to the point of wastefulness.

The floor tiles within the villa were all made of fine cyan and white jade slabs, materials that, by weight, are pricier than Copper Coins.

Moreover, the Mo Family Disciples seen coming and going were all reveling in amusement, with hardly anyone cultivating, yet they all possessed the foundation of their realms.

Clearly, these Mo Family Disciples' Cultivation was all built upon elixirs, making it unsubstantial and flimsy.

Stepping into a spacious reception room, a middle-aged man dressed in a light blue brocaded robe with a slightly corpulent figure glanced at them and said indifferently, "People from the Demon Cleansing Bureau rarely visit Asking Sword Manor. What is the matter?"

On the way here, Zhang Jiangbei had already briefed Han Zheng on some key figures of the Mo Family, and this middle-aged man was the current Manor Master of Asking Sword Manor, Mo Gaowen.

As for what kind of person he was, according to Zhang Jiangbei, he was difficult to assess but was a typical disciple of Asking Sword Manor.

Arrogant and loud-mouthed, senseless in action, weak in strength and ability, and full of resentment towards Washing Sword Pavilion.

Not a single person in the Martial World of Taishan Prefecture wanted to deal with him. He didn't need to interact with other forces, always hiding inside Asking Sword Manor, living a carefree life.

Han Zheng bowed slightly and said, "I am Han Zheng, Commander of the Kui Character Camp of the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department. Due to the recent resurfacing of the Demons under the Black Mountain Demon, I am ordered to subdue the Demon Chaos and, incidentally, investigate the source of this chaos."

Mo Gaowen frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I ask you, what exactly do you want to do at Asking Sword Manor!"

His tone was rather offensive, quite impolite. Su Wuming instantly narrowed his eyes at Mo Gaowen, a trace of Evil Qi appearing in his gaze.

Ye Liuyun, too, had a dark expression, suppressing his anger.

Han Zheng, however, remained expressionless, his emotions not displayed on his face. He had roughly anticipated what he would encounter before arriving.

Given the character of Mo Gaowen, he probably didn't even know what the Kui Character Camp means within the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department.

"Then let me be brief. Yesterday, as we were exterminating the Jade-faced Gentleman in the Moon Waves Cave at Dragon Ridge, he claimed that Asking Sword Manor has ties with Luo Daoren, a confidant of the Black Mountain Demon.

Hence we are here to investigate this matter. If Asking Sword Manor has no issues, this will also clear your name."

As Han Zheng finished speaking, Zhang Jiangbei beside him jumped in fright, his complexion changing instantly.

Goodness, wasn't it agreed that the wording should be more euphemistic before coming? Now with Han Zheng speaking like this, it was as if he had come to accuse and question.

In fact, for Han Zheng, this was already quite euphemistic.

Ever since Han Zheng joined the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department, when had he ever been so courteous to these Martial World forces?

When Han Zheng wasn't being euphemistic, his typical response was just two words: "Annihilate!"
