I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 434 White Cloud Temple

"This Xu Tianxing really is quite a character, his moves are truly ruthless."

Xiang Yuangong sighed and asked Liu Yuan, "I remember you have the ability to summon the three souls and seven spirits of the deceased? Can you summon the ghost of Gongsun Hong for some questioning?"

Liu Yuan checked Gongsun Yuan's corpse, shook his head slightly, and said, "Gongsun Yuan died too suddenly, combined with that sword qi being too sharp and powerful, even his three souls and seven spirits were directly annihilated.

Don't assume that everyone transforms into ghosts after death; only those with intense grievances or who die in places filled with Yin energy can become ghost entities.

Moreover, martial artists have strong vitality; the power of true essence gang qi naturally suppresses evil and ghostly entities. If you die at the hands of a martial artist, your three souls and seven spirits can be destroyed as well.

Unless you reach the Yang God Realm and harness the power of heaven and earth to forge a Yang God, only then can your soul remain intact even if the body perishes."

Han Zheng said solemnly, "Don't bother. Although Xu Tianxing obviously killed him to silence him, there's nothing we can do against him.

He's willing to bear the accusation of unjustly killing a South City Garrison General rather than letting us get leverage over him. Just imagine the weight of his connections."

The Arsenal case can range in its severity, primarily depending on who the weapons end up with.

If they end up in the hands of some merchants, disassembled into scattered armor and weapons and sold to the martial world, the impact is the smallest.

Merchants focus on profit, so such actions at most would nibble away at the foundation of Great Zhou.

It becomes more serious if they fall into the hands of cults like the Smell Fragrance Sect. Should they start causing trouble, their strength will surely increase. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Even more serious... well, it's hard to say."

"Sir, what should we do now? Keep a close watch on Xu Tianxing?"

Xiang Yuangong and the others all looked at Han Zheng.

The trail ended with Gongsun Yuan, but fortunately, they knew Xu Tianxing was definitely involved in this matter.

So their only lead was Xu Tianxing himself.

But due to Xu Tianxing's status, they couldn't take direct action, so they could only keep a close watch and wait for him to slip up.

Han Zheng shook his head and said, "Keeping a close watch on Xu Tianxing is useless. After today, Xu Tianxing will only become more cautious.

And since the Grand Commander has handed this case to us, while we aren't given a strict deadline to solve it, it's not good for us to drag it out for months, is it?

There's no gain with Xu Tianxing, but that doesn't mean there won't be gains elsewhere.

Were those Taoists just now men of the White Cloud Temple? How strong is the White Cloud Temple, and what connection do they have with Xu Tianxing?"

Xiang Yuangong said, "Fuyun Mountain is just thirty miles outside the Capital. There's a temple and a temple complex on the mountain, namely Luofu Temple and White Cloud Temple.

The strength of these two places is considered strong, as both their abbot and temple master have Yang God Realm cultivation, and they have numerous Martial Arts Grandmasters in the True Pill Realm under them.

Such cultivation is decent in the martial world, but considering this is the Capital, this strength is somewhat overshadowed.

So neither Luofu Temple nor White Cloud Temple is famous for martial arts.

Some high-ranking officials in the Capital often visit these two places for worship and Taoism, and both have a strong incense presence, leading to some competition.

As for the connection between White Cloud Temple and Xu Tianxing, on the surface, it seems there's no relation.

White Cloud Temple thrives on the support of high-ranking officials in the Capital, maintaining good relations with many noble families.

Xu Tianxing once stayed at White Cloud Temple when he was young and practiced some common Taoist skills.

So having Taoists from White Cloud Temple around him isn't that strange, as many high figures in the Capital invite Taoists from White Cloud Temple for teachings."

Han Zheng squinted and said, "It's not strange for Taoists from White Cloud Temple to be around Xu Tianxing, but it is strange that those three Taoists stood against my Demon Cleansing Bureau for Xu Tianxing.

As you said, White Cloud Temple mingles with high-ranking officials in the Capital and should naturally be slick and savvy. Why would they now openly stand by Xu Tianxing?

Is the deterrence of our Demon Cleansing Bureau even weaker than the Duke Dingyuan's influence?

Also, remember, when we entered the private room, Xu Tianxing's men were all outside, but those three Taoists were closely guarding Xu Tianxing.

What Gongsun Yuan discussed with Xu Tianxing before our arrival is unknown.

But based solely on Xu Tianxing's risky move to kill Gongsun Yuan, their conversation was not ordinary!

Such secretive matters are known to the Taoists of White Cloud Temple, can their relationship be trivial?

We may not be able to act against Xu Tianxing for now, but we can move against a martial world sect like White Cloud Temple.

Right now, Xu Tianxing has just killed Gongsun Yuan. The first thing he'll do is probably cover up the matter of killing Gongsun Yuan, then check for any other loopholes in his actions.

We can take this time to seize White Cloud Temple and force out about Xu Tianxing's involvement."

Hearing Han Zheng's words, the group immediately realized that something was indeed off about those three Taoists from White Cloud Temple, very suspicious!

However, Xiang Yuangong hesitated and said, "But Sir, the Temple Master Qing Jingzi of White Cloud Temple is a Yang God Realm Great Grandmaster. Even if we join forces, we can't rival him.

To act against White Cloud Temple, relying on our Jing'an Guard alone is insufficient. We might need to request the Grand Commander to send Yang God Realm experts as support."

Han Zheng's strength is undeniably strong, Xiang Yuangong acknowledged that.

But no matter how strong Han Zheng is, he's still nowhere near the threshold of the Yang God Realm; his strength compared to the Yang God Realm's existence is vastly different.

So to move against White Cloud Temple, a Yang God Realm Great Grandmaster must be involved.

But the problem is there's a lot of work and just one person in the Capital Demon Suppression Department. If a Yang God Realm Garrison Commander could handle this case, it wouldn't have fallen on Han Zheng's shoulders.

Requesting support from the Grand Commander now is no different than admitting incompetence.

"No need to trouble the Grand Commander. Isn't there more than one Yang God Realm presence on Fuyun Mountain?"

Xiang Yuangong was taken aback, "Are you referring to Luofu Temple?"

Han Zheng smirked, "I quite enjoy dealing with monks, and I believe those monks would be keen on having just one power on Fuyun Mountain."

After finishing, Han Zheng told Chu Xinghe, "Brother Chu, take my token and immediately return to Jing'an Guard to gather manpower.

The entire Jing'an Guard is to mobilize and await orders at the foot of Fuyun Mountain.

You three come with me as we head to Fuyun Mountain first."

Xiang Yuangong saw Han Zheng had made up his mind and did not try to dissuade further.

But he still doubted whether the monks of Luofu Temple would actually side with Han Zheng.

Those capable of establishing sects around the Capital are no ordinary characters.

They're adept at maneuvering and adaptation, why would they let Han Zheng use the knife to kill people?

Fuyun Mountain isn't far from the Capital, and the four of them quickly unleashed their full speed, reaching the foot of Fuyun Mountain within fifteen minutes.

Due to the climate, a thin layer of mist shrouds the mountaintop of Fuyun Mountain year-round, giving it the appearance of reaching straight into the clouds from afar, akin to a celestial paradise on clouds.

Though Fuyun Mountain isn't grand, its scenery is enchanting, and being so close to the Capital, it's no wonder the incense is flourishing.

Fuyun Mountain's south side is White Cloud Temple, which gets more sunlight and has better scenery. The north side is Luofu Mountain, with separate paths leading up each side, though White Cloud Temple enjoys better location, attracting more visitors.

At the entrance of Luofu Temple, as Han Zheng and his companions approached, two young gatekeeping monks hurried over to ask, "May I ask if the lords from the Demon Cleansing Bureau are here for incense or official duties at our Luofu Temple?"

Luofu Temple is frequented by capital's high officials, and these novice monks could even gauge a person's general status through their words.

Though many dukes and nobles have visited Luofu Temple, the Demon Cleansing Bureau had never before, which made them slightly nervous.

The presence of the Demon Cleansing Bureau surely doesn't bode well.

Han Zheng chuckled, displaying a set of white, orderly teeth, exuding a sunny and gentle demeanor.

"Don't be alarmed, we're not here to trouble your Luofu Temple.

Kindly inform your Abbott that Han Zheng, the Grand Steward of Jing'an Guard and Demon Cleansing Bureau, seeks an audience with your Abbott, Zen Master Huihai."
