I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 431 Young Marquis Xu Tianxing

Han Zheng could feel the envious gaze of the young Xuanjia Guard.

He was reminded of Yang Tianqi from the Southern Mountain.

But Han Zheng hadn't thought about promoting him in any way.

Joining the Demon Cleansing Bureau means always being ready to fight demons with one's life, and joining the Thirteen Guards means facing even greater dangers.

Though it is impressive, it's all earned through risking one's life.

So, everything depends on fortune; if the young man truly has such fortune in the future, Han Zheng might see him in the Thirteen Guards.

At this moment, Han Zheng, Xiang Yuangong, and the other two were heading straight for the Crane Tower.

On the way, Xiang Yuangong asked Han Zheng if he wanted to gather more Jing'an Guards to surround Crane Tower, but Han Zheng directly refused.

Currently, Gongsun Yuan was only a suspect, and there was no definite evidence of his guilt; making too much noise would be inappropriate.

A serious clash between the Demon Cleansing Bureau and the military would also be hard to resolve.

Moreover, he came alone to the banquet, not needing so many people to act.

A quarter of an hour later, Han Zheng and his group arrived outside Crane Tower.

Crane Tower, located in the center of the Capital City, is an elegant and luxurious tavern with a few rare cranes kept on its rooftop, thus named Crane Tower.

At this moment, inside a private room on the top floor of Crane Tower, a young man in luxurious attire and a middle-aged soldier in golden armor were drinking together.

These two were none other than Xu Tianxing, the princely heir of Duke Dingyuan, and Gongsun Yuan, the garrison general of South City.

Behind Xu Tianxing stood three Taoists, each with a profound and mysterious aura, and exceptionally deep foundations.

"Little Marquis, this matter has been delayed for so many days, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Xu Tianxing, with a masculine and handsome appearance, though young, exuded a sense of calmness.

As he poured wine for Gongsun Yuan, he said indifferently, "Explanation? What kind of explanation does General Gongsun want?"

Gongsun Yuan instinctively glanced around, speaking coldly, "Little Marquis, what I'm doing for you is a matter of life and death!

Now the job is halfway done, but where are the things you promised me? You can't just give me half, right?"

Xu Tianxing handed the wine cup to Gongsun Yuan, saying calmly, "General Gongsun, we've known each other for some time, and one should rely on their conscience when speaking and acting.

You've been helping us, have we ever mistreated you?

Over these years, the military personnel have been changing; being a garrison general in the Capital City's four towns is a prime position that many people covet.

Without us, do you think you could have held this position for so long? You'd probably have been sent to the Demon Suppression Pass to fight demons long ago!

Your Xuan True Perfection Body requires a lot of Elixir and Secret Treasure to refine your flesh to Great Success; how much Spiritual Medicine and Elixir have we given you over the years?

Yet, General Gongsun, you demand more and more, and your work is becoming more careless.

The previous few times you transported weapons out of the city, you almost got caught!

And this time, who told you to meet Pan Qiaoniang? Don't you know that if anyone discovered your actions, all our arrangements would be in vain!"

The last sentence was shouted by Xu Tianxing, and the wine cup in his hand exploded with a bang.

Gongsun Yuan shouted angrily, "The Arsenal caught fire, and the weapons were lost! With such a big case exposed, how could I not be anxious?

I passed the information to you guys, but no one paid attention to me; the only one I could find was that woman!

You can make Tan Fang a scapegoat; how do I know that one day you won't make me a scapegoat too?"

Behind Xu Tianxing, the eyes of the three Taoists showed a hint of killing intent towards Gongsun Yuan, but Xu Tianxing waved his hand.

Even if they wanted to kill Gongsun Yuan, they couldn't do it in broad daylight.

"You also know that the Arsenal case is a massive one, and if we don't settle all the loose ends, do you know how many people it would entangle?

The time is pressing; how could we have the time to arrange for you?

On this line, General Gongsun, you are at the center; as long as the ends don't fall apart, you definitely won't be found out.

Instead, your frantic behavior is more likely to reveal flaws!

Know this, my visit today is taking a huge risk!"

Xu Tianxing was almost angered to death by this fool.

Everything had been arranged well, yet this guy, constantly on edge, had to find him to fulfill his promises; clearly, he didn't use his head!

Taking a deep breath, Xu Tianxing reassured, "General Gongsun, rest assured, the things promised to you won't be missing.

It's just that right now, we truly don't have time to deal with them; once the situation cools down, we can give you everything you want!"

What Gongsun Yuan wanted was this promise.

His face beamed with a smile as he poured Xu Tianxing another cup of wine, handing it over, "Little Marquis, calm down; I'm just anxious.

With your words, Little Marquis, I am now at ease."

As Xu Tianxing was about to say more, the guard outside suddenly shouted sternly, "My Little Marquis is hosting guests inside; unauthorized persons are prohibited from entering!"

What Xu Tianxing and his associates were discussing were matters of life and death, and not a word could be heard by outsiders.

So from the moment they entered this private room, they set up an array to isolate sound and also had people guarding outside.

Han Zheng and his party, wearing the armor of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, were even barred by them; Xiang Yuangong and the others showed a hint of darkness on their faces.

The Capital City is the place where the Demon Cleansing Bureau's authority is strongest; except for those from the Dragon Martial Bureau who are of royal blood and cannot be touched, and the crazies from the Observatory who cannot be touched, what else can't they handle?

Han Zheng signaled Bao Chong with a glance, and Bao Chong, grinning, stepped forward.

"Unauthorized persons can't enter? In this Capital City, besides the Imperial Palace, there's no place where Grandpa can't enter!"

Bao Chong, like a fierce beast, charged forward directly.

The two guards at the door were both elite soldiers with the Xuan Gang Realm cultivation.

But under Bao Chong's charge, they didn't even have the slightest resistance and were knocked away, like two bouncing balls, and the private room's door shattered into pieces.

A Taoist behind Xu Tianxing waved his hand, and vast True Essence Gang Qi flowed mightily from his wide sleeve, catching the two men.

But looking closely, these two men were shattered by Bao Chong, already turned into blood gourds.

Xu Tianxing slammed the table, shouting angrily, "Your Demon Cleansing Bureau is too arrogant! Acting in broad daylight, is there no law? No order?"

"Little Marquis, calm down. We are not targeting you today, but we need to take General Gongsun Yuan, the garrison general of South City, for questioning.

He is involved in the major case of the Arsenal theft, and the Grand Commander regards it with utmost importance; we truly cannot afford any delay.

Are those two men outside your subordinates, Little Marquis? Pardon me, but they were too clueless.

The Demon Cleansing Bureau has the authority to act expediently for investigations, taking precedence over everything except the Dragon Martial Bureau and the Observatory, and everyone must cooperate.

If they just went in to notify, it would be fine, but to blatantly prohibit entry in front of us, to be blunt, is asking for trouble!"

Han Zheng smiled as he looked at Xu Tianxing, but his words were exceedingly arrogant.

Coming to the Capital City's Demon Cleansing Bureau, Han Zheng immediately took a liking to this place.

Only in the Capital City's Demon Cleansing Bureau is the bureau's power and authority the strongest.

The local Demon Cleansing Bureaus often had to compromise with this sect or yield to that family, sometimes even having to sit back and let demons run rampant.

But within the Capital City, aside from the Dragon Martial Bureau and the Observatory, the authority of the Demon Cleansing Bureau is the strongest.

When the Demon Cleansing Bureau wants to investigate, anyone, regardless of their identity, even if they are kin to the emperor, must cooperate with the investigation.

Of course, this is only nominal.

In reality, most of the upper levels of the Demon Cleansing Bureau act with discretion, since they all have to operate in the Capital City and won't offend too many people unnecessarily.

However, Han Zheng had no such concerns.

The Grand Commander used him precisely because Han Zheng had no connections in the Capital City and wouldn't hesitate or be indecisive.

He was like a sharp blade, able to cut through the intricate web of relationships in the Capital City.
