I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 424: Display of Power

On the surface, this arsenal case seems very simple, even appearing to be closed already.

The Weapons Department's Director, Tan Fang, committed suicide out of guilt, claiming that these weapons and armor were stolen and sent to the Smell Fragrance Sect, but even a fool can see there's a problem here!

Holding the dossier, Han Zheng sneered, "Are they trying to fool idiots? The arsenal of Great Zhou is an extremely secure place, could Tan Fang alone, a mere director, manage to steal so many weapons and armors to send to the Smell Fragrance Sect?

At most, he might manipulate the records, but getting so many weapons and armor out of the arsenal without a complete plan — how could that succeed?

Suicide due to guilt? I think he had no choice but to die, just a scapegoat thrown out randomly."

Speaking of which, the Smell Fragrance Sect is somewhat innocent as well.

Although the Smell Fragrance Sect is indeed a heinous cult, over here in Great Zhou, it's as if every trouble is blamed on them.

This matter clearly indicates there's a bigger internal problem. To dare to meddle with the Great Zhou's arsenal, it's almost a towering crime.

That's why the Six Commanders don't want to investigate further, they just want to close the case like this.

Sometimes it's said that it's wise to play dumb; investigating too clearly isn't always a good thing.

Chu Xinghe said in a deep voice, "The Grand Commander says the same thing, especially since Chen Zhenfu came to the Capital City and brought news about the Smell Fragrance Sect.

When the Smell Fragrance Sect caused chaos in the Huainan Road, it was true that many of the sect members wielded standard court weapons, but those were seized after attacking Huainan Road, and no armor from the Capital City was found among them.

The armor and weapons from the Capital Weapons Department have special marks, making them easy to identify.

They intentionally framed the Smell Fragrance Sect. Now that the Smell Fragrance Sect has been severely hit by the court and hidden, it's impossible to investigate."

Han Zheng put away the dossier, saying in a deep voice, "The investigation still requires mobilizing the Jing'an Guard's forces; let's first head to the Jing'an Guard.

Chu, you lead the way."

Chu Xinghe nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Han, you should be mentally prepared before going to the Jing'an Guard.

I have a childhood friend in the Thirteen Guards; he's not with the Jing'an Guard but has heard that the three Deputy Directors of the Jing'an Guard are somewhat dissatisfied with you taking over the Jing'an Guard, and might have some opinions."

Han Zheng nodded; he was already prepared for this.

While he was renowned in the Southern Mountain for his Demon Sweeping Bureau achievements, in the Capital Demon Suppression Department, he was nothing more than an unknown figure.

Moreover, the people of the Capital Demon Suppression Department tend to look down on those from the local Demon Sweeping Bureaus. Now that an unknown figure from a local bureau is coming to take over the Jing'an Guard, it's strange if they can accept it.

On the way, Han Zheng also inquired about the general strength and personnel situation of the Jing'an Guard from Chu Xinghe.

Among the Thirteen Guards, the Jing'an Guard's strength is average, but as elite members of the Demon Sweeping Bureau, they're never weak, even if they're the weakest.

The entire Jing'an Guard consists of about two hundred people; the weakest are Demon Sweeping Captains. There are twenty per team, with a total of ten teams, each led by a Capital Commandant of the Dan Sea Realm.

Additionally, the Jing'an Guard has three Deputy Directors, all Martial Arts Grandmasters who've stepped into the True Pill Realm.

This power configuration is almost comparable to the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department in its prime.

The camp of the Thirteen Guards is near the center of the Demon Suppression Department, not far from the Grand Commander's hall, as the Thirteen Guards are indeed the Grand Commander's trusted force.

Each guard's camp is enormous, with residences, a separate dining hall, a huge martial arts training ground, and quiet training rooms, and the treatment is very generous.

As Han Zheng pushed the door open and entered the camp of the Jing'an Guard, scattered Xuanjia Guards were everywhere.

Some were cultivating, others were dazed, and some were sparring on the martial arts field, while others were drinking and watching the commotion.

Seeing this, Chu Xinghe immediately frowned.

He had only heard that the three Deputy Directors of the Jing'an Guard had issues with Han Zheng taking over the Jing'an Guard, but now it seems this is more than just an issue — it's practically a public confrontation with Han Zheng.

The news of Han Zheng taking charge of the Jing'an Guard in the Council Hall has already been finalized, and the Six Commanders and the other thirteen guards know this, so how could the Jing'an Guard itself be unaware?

Reasonably, today they should be neatly lined up in the camp to welcome Han Zheng.

However, the Jing'an Guard today still seems casual, clearly intending to give Han Zheng a hard time.

Even some Jing'an Guard members, upon seeing Han Zheng wearing the Profound Gold Swallowing Lion Armor with Red Crystal Lion Eyes, pretended not to see it, their attitude conspicuous.

Han Zheng did not show anger; he merely stepped forward strongly.

The enormous Heavenly Demon True Pill suddenly rotated in the golden vast Dan Sea, the True Yuan it stirred surging like ocean waves, churning within Han Zheng.

When this power manifested externally, it was extremely terrifying. An overwhelming force erupted, the ground beneath him trembled, and a shocking aura spread out immediately.

"Boom!"

The massive footstep sounded like a grand bell, echoing in everyone's hearts.

With another step down, the aura ascended and condensed again; the massive footstep seemed to press on everyone's chest, causing the nearby Xuanjia Guards to surge with vitality, their faces flushed.

In fact, Han Zheng learned this move from He Tianxiong.

Back then, when He Tianxiong came to trouble Han Zheng, he integrated his strength into his aura, stepping forward and making the force spread down, as if stepping on the opponent's chest, dealing a strong impact.

Now that Han Zheng's Heavenly Demon Pill Method has reached Great Success, his strength is nearly unmatched in the True Pill Realm.

Moreover, in Han Zheng's process of opening up the Dan Sea, his control over power became extremely detailed, allowing him to mimic He Tianxiong and use such a method.

Han Zheng stomped forward seven continuous steps; each step seemed earth-shaking. Some weaker martial artists of the Xuan Gang Realm could no longer endure.

These people's faces were pale, quickly standing up and respectfully cupping their hands in salute, "Greetings, Lord Han!"

Not only they, but even some Dan Sea Realm captains now have pale faces, unable to withstand it.

This new Lord Han, though young and not yet in the Yang God Realm, is undoubtedly fierce with his methods.

Han Zheng merely nodded slightly, not showing them any friendliness.

Mutual benefit and deterrence is correct, but in reality, deterrence should precede benefit.

This group wanted to intimidate him, so what friendliness should he show them in return?

Han Zheng paid them no attention, only staring at a great hall in the camp, the atmosphere suddenly solidifying.

Everyone around from the Jing'an Guard stood obediently on both sides, carefully observing Han Zheng, secretly thinking that those Deputy Directors seem to have kicked an iron plate this time.

Originally intending to give someone a hard time, they ended up being given a hard time themselves.

Moreover, this Lord Han, although young, has formidable strength; it seems he didn't advance through nepotism as a mere decorative item.

After a moment, the people inside the hall could no longer endure the strange atmosphere and finally came out.

The three men were all clad in Profound Gold Swallowing Lion Armor, but it was the standard version, without Han Zheng's Red Crystal Lion Eyes on the chest.

One of them was tall, with a fierce and sinister appearance, having only one eye, the other covered with an eyepatch, and was the Deputy Director of the Jing'an Guard, Bao Chong.

Behind him, a slender, white-haired man, with a complexion pale like a ghost, was the Deputy Director of the Jing'an Guard, Liu Yuan.

The last one appeared to be in his thirties, with a handsome and dignified appearance, the Deputy Director of the Jing'an Guard, Xiang Yuangong.

These three were Grandmaster-level beings who had condensed Martial Arts True Pills, each with decades of experience in the Demon Department.

The youngest among them, Xiang Yuangong, was actually over forty, but he reached the True Pill Realm in his thirties, making him a prominent talent of the younger generation in the Demon Department.

At this moment, the three of them exchanged glances and showed a hint of seriousness.

This Han Zheng seemed somewhat different from what they had imagined.
