I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 441: Desperate Resistance

Xu Gaoyuan did not reprimand Xu Tianxing, but his gaze showed a hint of disappointment.

He knew that his own life was wasted, but Xu Tianxing still had a bright future ahead.

However, he was ultimately young and impetuous, and didn't fully consider things.

"Gongsun Yuan is a narrow-minded person, with little vision, cautious to the point of cowardice, but his talent in martial arts is still decent.

Such a person is merely to be used, yet you took him seriously?

Today, if you hadn't met him, he would only be anxious and wouldn't dare to harbor any sinister thoughts.

Meeting him, on the contrary, increases the chances of mistakes.

Like today, you were forced to silence Gongsun Yuan in public. Duke Dingyuan's Mansion has been targeted by the Demon Cleansing Bureau, leading to endless future troubles!"

"It was my impatience for quick success,"

Xu Tianxing's face looked extremely grim.

Killing Gongsun Yuan to silence him was simple, but the subsequent troubles piled up.

"Father, the most important thing now is to minimize the impact of me killing Gongsun Yuan.

That Han Zheng wants to capture Gongsun Yuan for interrogation, surely because Gongsun Yuan, that fool, revealed some flaws.

However, he certainly has no evidence, otherwise, it would not be interrogation but direct deployment of a large number of Xuanjia Guards to arrest Gongsun Yuan directly.

Now that Gongsun Yuan is dead, although we are being watched by the Demon Cleansing Bureau, they still have no evidence.

So as long as we minimize the impact of Gongsun Yuan's death, the Demon Cleansing Bureau won't be able to do anything to us."

Xu Gaoyuan softly shook his head and said, "We may temporarily evade their grasp, but that means we have been completely marked by the Demon Cleansing Bureau, rendering us unable to work for that person anymore.

You're aware of his personality. As long as you're willing to work for him, he is certainly not stingy with benefits.

You reached the True Pill Realm at such a young age, due in no small part to that person's support and resources.

But all of this is predicated on Duke Dingyuan's Mansion putting our lives on the line to help him with this extermination of nine generations task.

Now that we've been targeted by the Demon Cleansing Bureau, we've become worthless, serving no purpose anymore. What do you think the consequences will be?"

Xu Tianxing suddenly raised his head, incredulous, "That person wouldn't be so ruthless, would he?"

Xu Gaoyuan sneered coldly, "You really think he's generous and righteous, willing to recruit the wise?

To reach such heights, how could one not be ruthless?

Once Duke Dingyuan's Mansion is marked by the Demon Cleansing Bureau, not only do we become useless for him, but a liability as well. It's even possible that we may become abandoned pawns!"

"Then what should we do?"

Xu Tianxing also became somewhat flustered.

Although his reputation as the Green Blood Divine Sword young marquis in the capital was substantial, he was, after all, just a young man.

The outside world said he propped up Duke Dingyuan's Mansion, but the real controller was still Xu Gaoyuan.

It's just that Xu Gaoyuan never showed up, merely hiding in the shadows to build momentum for his son.

Xu Gaoyuan said in a deep voice, "Go to the Martial World! Once marked by the Demon Cleansing Bureau, the capital is no longer a place for us.

Instead of wasting our time in the capital, it's better to make a name in the Martial World, so we might have some use in the future.

After all, that person's layout is not only in the capital but also in the Martial World."

At this time, there was suddenly a panicked knocking on the secret room door from the Xu Family servants outside.

Xu Tianxing, with a sullen face, opened the secret room door, "Didn't I instruct not to disturb me and the Marquis unless it's something serious?"

That servant appeared extremely panicked, "Young Marquis, it's not good! People from the Demon Cleansing Bureau have surrounded the entire mansion!

The Zhang family brothers who guard the gate tried to stop them but were directly cut down by the people from the Demon Cleansing Bureau!"

Xu Gaoyuan and Xu Tianxing's expressions both changed.

They only expected the Demon Cleansing Bureau to start focusing on them but never guessed they would act directly!

And the Demon Cleansing Bureau started killing people right away; this time it won't be easy to resolve.

"Let's go out and see."

Xu Gaoyuan and Xu Tianxing exchanged a glance, then hurried out of the secret room.

Meanwhile, in Duke Dingyuan's Mansion courtyard, hundreds of Xu Family servants holding weapons were standing in opposition to the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

The strongest among them was a middle-aged man, nominally the protector coach of Duke Dingyuan's Mansion, but in fact, he was an Innate Martial Arts Grandmaster in the True Pill Realm.

Han Zheng looked at those hundreds of ferocious, murderously intent 'servants' and a peculiar smile appeared on his face.

Seeing Xu Tianxing and his father emerge, Han Zheng said with a half-smile, "You have quite the nerve at Duke Dingyuan's Mansion, daring to keep so many private soldiers."

Dukes of the Great Zhou are not allowed to have private soldiers once they relinquish their military power.

Even Great Generals who have military power only bring a dozen personal guards when they return to the capital.

Duke Dingyuan's Mansion was bold, hiding under the guise of servants and daring to keep so many private soldiers, which is tantamount to rebellion when spoken of.

"Han Zheng! You are completely slandering us!"

Xu Tianxing said angrily, "These are all servants of Duke Dingyuan's Mansion, not private soldiers!"

Han Zheng sneered, "Do all your household servants possess such strength? Innate Martial Artists serving tea and True Pill Realm Grandmasters working as instructors in your mansion?

Is it that Duke Dingyuan's Mansion has good food, or are they just cheap?"

Xu Tianxing wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Xu Gaoyuan.

Xu Gaoyuan's gaze was ice-cold as he stared at Han Zheng, "Are you the Grand Steward Han Zheng of the Jing'an Guard? If you breach my Duke Dingyuan's Mansion with your troops today without giving me an explanation, this matter will not end!

I may be useless now, but I once rendered meritorious service for the Great Zhou in the Southern Border, with countless merits to my name!

The ancestors of Duke Dingyuan's line followed the Grand Ancestor in unifying the world. The entire Great Zhou was built by our ancestors with the Grand Ancestor. How dare you insult us like this?"

In terms of strength, the Duke Dingyuan line is indeed not a top meritorious family now.

However, as Xu Gaoyuan mentioned, he was once a garrison Great General; if not for merit, there's at least hard work.

Moreover, the Duke Dingyuan line can be traced back to the founding period of the Great Zhou, too ancient.

In recent years, through intermarriage with other nobles, the connections of Duke Dingyuan's Mansion aren't inferior.

If Han Zheng went against Duke Dingyuan's Mansion today without any evidence, Xu Gaoyuan could report this to the Emperor, and not even Qi Zhangwu could protect Han Zheng!

"Marquis, you know that this Great Zhou was built by your ancestors following the Great Zhou Grand Ancestor.

Given this, why do you wish to rebel?"

"What did you say?!"

The faces of Xu Gaoyuan and Xu Tianxing suddenly changed.

Han Zheng said plainly, "Do not struggle anymore; without absolute evidence, I would not have come to Duke Dingyuan's Mansion.

Daoist Qing Jingzi, come out and show them that you have no chance, and to stop resisting."

From behind the people of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, Daoist Qing Jingzi came out with a complex expression, sighing, "Young Marquis, give up resisting. I've already said everything that needs to be said.

It's not that I wanted to be a traitor, but that my White Cloud Temple, several hundred lives, are in the hands of the Demon Cleansing Bureau. I had no choice but to surrender."

At the sight of Qing Jingzi, Xu Tianxing's vision immediately darkened, and his mind went blank.

He never expected that the White Cloud Temple would be dealt with by the Demon Cleansing Bureau first!

Previously Xu Tianxing wasn't worried about White Cloud Temple at all, firstly because the connection with his family wasn't tight, and secondly because Qing Jingzi, a Yang God Realm Grandmaster, was stationed at White Cloud Temple.

Based on Xu Tianxing's understanding of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, unless Han Zheng had absolute proof of White Cloud Temple's involvement, the Demon Cleansing Bureau would never mobilize a Yang God Realm presence.

Han Zheng wasn't Qi Zhangwu's illegitimate son; Qi Zhangwu wouldn't indulge him in this way.

Yet the place Xu Tianxing thought was least likely to have issues did, and Qing Jingzi, a Yang God Realm grandmaster, even directly turned against him, identifying him.

Xu Gaoyuan was much more composed than Xu Tianxing, his expression unchanged.

"Daoist Qing Jingzi, Duke Dingyuan's Mansion has no animosity with your White Cloud Temple, and my son Tianxing even spent some time cultivating there. Why do you need to slander Duke Dingyuan's Mansion?"

Looking at Han Zheng, Xu Gaoyuan said in a deep voice, "If it's because of Han Zheng's threats forcing you to make false testimony, Daoist Qing Jingzi, you can rest assured.

This is the capital. Although the Demon Cleansing Bureau is powerful, it hasn't yet reached the extent where they can cover the skies with one hand!"
