I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 451 Suspicion

In the room, Xiang Yuangong and Liu Yuan both understood what Han Zheng meant.

Only Bao Chong stupidly asked, "Lord Han, are we going to sleep together tonight? Surely, Lord Zhou can't be that stingy, can he? Just arranging one room for the four of us?"

Xiang Yuangong looked at Bao Chong as if he were an idiot: "Shut up, will you? Have you been training only your body but not your brain all these years?"

"I can headbutt you until your muscles and bones break. You tell me if I've been training my brain!"

Han Zheng waved his hand: "Alright, stop arguing. Regarding what Lord Zhou said, what do you think?

I didn't know Lord Zhou well before, but everything he said and did today felt somewhat strange to me."

Xiang Yuangong scratched his head: "Honestly, I also felt a bit awkward, but I'm not familiar with Lord Zhou either, just heard of him.

Lord Zhou once fought blood-soaked battles at Demon Suppression Pass, and even though he could have gone to the Elder Court to enjoy life, he chose to keep working, so his character should be trustworthy.

He sent all his people to the headquarters in the Capital City, maybe truly for the development of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

He's willing to stay here fighting the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect without reporting to headquarters, possibly genuinely worried about troubling the Grand Commander.

Old people tend to be stubborn and awkward; although they think they're acting for the Demon Cleansing Bureau's benefit, it actually harms the bigger picture.

As for why Lord Zhou married such a young woman, matters of the heart are unpredictable.

He never married in his life, so it's understandable he'd find new love in his old age."

Liu Yuan said gloomily, "I trust Lord Zhou, but not that woman.

It's too suspicious that the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect appear in Heaven Net City just as that woman shows up by Lord Zhou's side. We have to be cautious.

Don't forget Tan Fang's wife, Pan Qiaoniang. We couldn't see through her, even in front of her."

Liu Yuan practiced the Profound Yin Ghost Technique, making his character somewhat gloomy and suspicious of everything.

Xiang Yuangong frowned: "That's because our cultivation is not strong enough.

Lord Zhou was at the Yang God Realm; even if his realm has dropped now, his Yang God was tempered. There's no reason he couldn't see through that woman's disguise."

Han Zheng waved his hand: "Alright, stop arguing for now.

I also feel something's wrong with that woman, so we must investigate her.

Liu Yuan, use your Profound Yin Ghost Technique to inform Taoist Qing Jingzi to come. Let him quietly enter the city and observe from afar if Liu Lingyun is using the Blood Exchange Technique to disguise their identity.

If Liu Lingyun is confirmed not to be a problem, we will follow Lord Zhou's advice and investigate if Heaven Net Martial Sect and the Ning Family have colluded with the Blood Demon Sect remnants."

Everyone nodded.

The Blood Exchange Technique is too sinister, with no other way to see through it unless a martial artist of the Yang God Realm comes.

Luckily, not everyone within the Blood Demon Sect can cultivate the Blood Exchange Technique.

Only the most authentic direct descendants can cultivate the Blood Exchange Technique.

Liu Yuan formed a seal technique with his hands, and an array emerged on the ground.

A strange and hideous, three-eyed human head emerged from the ground.

Liu Yuan wrote down the message Han Zheng wanted to send to Taoist Qing Jingzi and stuffed it into the mouth of the human head.

The next moment, that human head flew out of the window at an incredible speed.

Bao Chong disdainfully said, "That flying head is really disgusting. I bet Taoist Qing Jingzi doesn't want to take the message from that human head's mouth."

"As long as it works, why do you care if it's disgusting?

Besides, nowadays, people are more disgusting than ghosts.

There are things even ghosts wouldn't do, but humans can."

Han Zheng ignored their bickering, quietly waiting for news.

Now that Zhou Qiaonian is no longer a martial artist of the Yang God Realm, Qing Jingzi's ability should allow him to investigate Liu Lingyun without alerting Zhou Qiaonian.

Two hours later, the flying head returned.

Liu Yuan took out a note from the flying head's mouth, saying, "Taoist Qing Jingzi said Liu Lingyun is just an ordinary woman, absolutely showing no signs of using the Blood Exchange Technique.

She has some cultivation, equivalent to the Innate Realm, but it's very superficial. It should be Lord Zhou who used medicine baths and spiritual medicine, along with his own power, to help her align her body's meridians, forcibly elevating her to the Innate Realm, merely to extend her lifespan."

Han Zheng nodded, saying solemnly: "Since that's the case, we will act tomorrow to begin our investigation in Heaven Net City.

The Blood Demon Sect members are inherently skilled at escape techniques and have honed their concealment over the years as we pursued them.

So, don't move unless we're sure; don't alert the quarry.

Once we do, we must completely nail down the Blood Demon Sect, not giving them a chance to escape."

Everyone nodded.

After Xiang Yuangong and the others left, Han Zheng called out Yan Xuankong.

"Old Yan, you should know Lord Zhou, right? What did you think when you saw him today?"

Yan Xuankong laughed sardonically: "That old guy used to be very rigid and boring, only concerned with cleansing demons, and his work was stiff and awkward.

Now he seems more open-minded, even marrying a charming young wife, the old tree blossoming anew.

Who knows if he's still got it, if he can satisfy her."

After a joking remark, Yan Xuankong continued: "But seriously, Zhou Qiaonian's character is genuinely unquestionable.

He served as Patrol Envoy and Garrison Commander, but honestly, he wasn't suited for those positions. Although he wasn't corrupt and had skill, he lacked flexibility and his ability was mediocre.

As a Garrison Commander, he was always busy, managing things just so-so, and as a Patrol Envoy, he was often fooled by the cunning.

It wasn't until he went to Demon Suppression Pass that he truly made a name for himself, bravely battling for a century, tirelessly cleansing demons, never complaining.

Heaven Net City in its current state is definitely something Zhou Qiaonian could create.

This old guy is just stubbornly awkward, sometimes with good intentions, but often causing trouble.

For people like him, the higher-ups don't know what to say or how to teach, so they just stationed him at Demon Suppression Pass.

Seeing him now, even after all these years, this old guy hasn't changed."

Han Zheng nodded understandingly.

If Zhou Qiaonian has always been like this, it makes sense.

"Old Yan, since you know so much about the Blood Demon Sect, do you have any suggestions for catching them quickly?"

Yan Xuankong protested: "What do you mean I know so much about the Blood Demon Sect? When did I know much about them? I'm just interested in their cultivation techniques.

To be precise, I'm interested in the techniques from the early days of the Blood Demon Sect, not the nonsense evil techniques they developed later."

Despite his dissatisfaction, Yan Xuankong thought carefully and said: "If the habits of the Blood Demon Sect haven't changed, I might have a way.

The early techniques of the Blood Demon Sect focused on studying their Qi Blood, but later they twisted and altered to focus on plundering others' Qi Blood.

But the Blood Demon Sect doesn't just plunder anyone's Qi Blood Power.

For the Blood Demon Sect, the most exquisite Qi Blood is Pure Yang Qi Blood and Pure Yin Qi Blood.

Some people are born on yang days at yang times, with inherently robust Qi Blood carrying Innate Yang Qi, warding off evil spirits.

Others are born on yin days at yin times, with weak yet concentrated Qi Blood, most easily attracting evil spirits and ghosts.

You have someone practicing the Profound Yin Ghost Technique; they can sense who's blazing with Yang Qi or heavily laden with Yin Energy.

Have them mark these individuals and keep watch, ensuring you catch the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect.

I suspect the Blood Demon Sect developed in Heaven Net City for one reason: because it's so close to the Capital City, no one would think they'd dare be that bold.

Another reason is Heaven Net City is one of the passes into the Capital, with a constant flow of traders, increasing the chance of encountering those with Pure Yang or Pure Yin Qi Blood.

The Blood Demon Sect targets only these two types, not causing much slaughter and avoiding drawing too much attention.

If the Blood Demon Sect really slaughtered thousands or hundreds of people at once, even that stubborn old Zhou would have to request aid from headquarters by now."
