I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 168 Five Elders Mountain

On the small boat, Han Zheng had used his powerful True Essence to push the boat ten miles away.

"Finally shook off those black-skinned dogs from the Demon Cleansing Bureau, it really wasn’t easy."

Turning to look at the two Red Flag Thieves, a fierce smile appeared on Han Zheng’s face, "I’m sorry, gentlemen, since you’ve seen me, I can only send you on your way. Otherwise, I’d get tangled up again by those black-skinned dogs from the Demon Cleansing Bureau. As for this boat, I’ll have to requisition it."

The two Red Flag Thieves originally thought they had been rescued, only to realize that they had boarded the boat of a devil!

They then remembered that the Demon Cleansing Bureau had been shouting about a flower-picking thief, and this ’Su Liu Yun’ seemed to be the culprit who had caused trouble in Kai Ping Prefecture, harming thousands of women and was wanted by the Demon Cleansing Bureau!

Seeing that Han Zheng was about to draw his knife, the third of the Red Flag Thieves hurriedly said, "Senior, spare our lives! We won’t reveal your whereabouts!"

Han Zheng sneered, "Just because you say you won’t doesn’t mean you won’t. Swearings are not something I believe in.

Moreover, even if you really won’t tell, once the Demon Cleansing Bureau catches you, they have ways to make you talk.

Only dead men can keep secrets."

Seeing Han Zheng raising the knife in his hand, the two were immediately trembling with fear.

At this critical moment, as if inspired, the third suddenly shouted, "We are the Red Flag Thieves from Five Elders Mountain! The people from the Demon Cleansing Bureau can’t catch us!

Senior, you are also wanted by the Demon Cleansing Bureau, why not come back with us to Five Elders Mountain? The Great Master respects the talented. With your strength, you could even become the second in command of our Five Elders Mountain!"

Han Zheng put down the knife in his hand and frowned, "Red Flag Thieves from Five Elders Mountain? What is that? I roam the Southern Mountain and have never heard of such a band of thieves."

The third one awkwardly smiled, "Our Red Flag Thieves only operate around Smoke Wave Lake, so our reputation isn’t great, but our strength is not weak.

Moreover, our Five Elders Mountain is easy to defend and hard to attack, the Smoke Wave Prefecture Demon Cleansing Bureau has tried many times to take Five Elders Mountain and always failed.

If you come to our Five Elder Mountain, I can guarantee your absolute safety."

Seeing the ’Su Liu Yun’ in front of him showing a thoughtful expression, the third hurriedly added, "Senior, you are being wanted by the Demon Cleansing Bureau. Even if you kill us and leave by boat, it won’t change the fact that you are wanted.

Even if you leave Smoke Wave Prefecture, other State Mansions will still hunt you.

Of course, with your strength, you definitely aren’t afraid of those black-skinned dogs from the Demon Cleansing Bureau, but being chased all the time isn’t pleasant, right?

Even if you ultimately decide against joining our Five Elders Mountain, it’s still good to take refuge there for a while.

When the attention dies down and a new wanted notice comes out, the Demon Cleansing Bureau’s focus will naturally shift away from you."

Han Zheng thought for a moment, then said pensively, "Fine, I’ll trust you two this time and visit your Five Elders Mountain.

However, let me make it clear beforehand, I have no intention of turning bandit, I’m just taking a look. If I’m not satisfied, I’ll leave immediately."

The third hurriedly said, "Senior, rest assured, our Red Flag Thieves never force anyone. Once there, you can leave whenever you wish."

The two exchanged looks, each revealing a trace of joy.

Not only had they saved their own lives, but they had also brought a Xuan Gang Realm grandmaster to Five Elders Mountain. Regardless of whether this Su Liu Yun would stay, they had achieved a great feat.

On the way there, Han Zheng chatted with the two casually, pretending to be unfamiliar and inquiring about the situation of Five Elders Mountain.

These two, one named Chen Laosan and the other Fang Dahai, were veterans who had joined the Red Flag Thieves for over a decade, possessing the cultivation of the Innate Transcendence Late Stage and were trusted aides of the Red Flag Thieves’ leader, Li Tianbao.

They were sent out with substantial money to purchase supplies and also knew many secrets of the Red Flag Thieves, so they had to be absolutely trusted by Li Tianbao.

Powered by Han Zheng’s strong True Essence, the small boat reached Five Elders Mountain in less than three hours.

Five Elders Mountain was an isolated island located on the lake surface, with barely any flat terrain, all ridges and hillocks, and the topmost part resembled five old men sitting together, which was why it was called Five Elders Mountain.

The underwater terrain of Smoke Wave Lake was complex, and it was said that Five Elders Mountain was hollow underneath, so the undercurrents were turbulent.

The surrounding waters were pitch black, as if giant waves lurked beneath, harboring immense power.

Innate Martial Artists could use their True Qi to forcibly withstand these currents, but it greatly drained their Inner Strength.

The only path around Five Elders Mountain that lacked undercurrents was the one the small boat leisurely sailed into. Chen Lao San put his fingers to his lips and blew a few whistles, seemingly a kind of secret code.

"Senior Su, look, there is only this one channel leading into the heart of Five Elders Mountain. Below it are arrays; only those who know the secret code can smoothly enter."

"Brothers on the shore constantly observe the situation using telescopes, and once foreign boats enter, the array will cease immediately, and the undercurrent will immediately shred any passing vessels."

The boat sailed through the channel and eventually reached the shore, where Han Zheng finally took in the entire scene of Five Elders Mountain.

It was still a desolate mountain, but on the mountain’s strategic passes, there were fortresses with holes revealing large crossbow bolts, resembling lances; these were specifically designed for siege warfare.

Chen Lao San and Fang Dahai held some positions within the Red Flag Thieves.

Strangely, no one stopped them from bringing Han Zheng, a stranger, into the heart of Five Elders Mountain.

Chen Lao San walked alongside Han Zheng, leading the way, while Fang Dahai went ahead to report to Li Tianbao.

The five peaks of Five Elders Mountain seemed like five old men sitting opposite each other, and the fortress of the Red Flag Thieves was built in the middle of these peaks, perilously situated without any roads, only flimsy wooden planks inserted into the mountain wall served as a simple pathway.

The fortress looked extremely rudimentary, constructed mainly from rough stones and wooden planks to cover the gaps.

Upon entering the fort, the interior was brightly lit.

In contrast to the simplicity outside, the fortress of the Red Flag Thieves could almost be considered luxurious.

The furniture was made of high-quality mahogany, intricately carved.

The large bowls the bandits used for drinking were beautifully glazed and looked quite valuable.

Inside the entire fortress, gold and jade ornaments were everywhere, even the central pillars were gilded.

The Red Flag Thieves pillaged passing merchant ships and were exceedingly wealthy.

At the very center sat a Dragon Chair made entirely of gold, and a man in his fifties, with a bald head and bare upper body, approached Han Zheng.

"I am Li Tianbao, the leader of the Red Flag Thieves, and I welcome Brother Su to Five Elders Mountain."

Li Tianbao laughed heartily and greeted him warmly, his demeanor bold and generous.

Han Zheng also clasped his hands and said, "Great Master is too kind."

Li Tianbao, smiling, said, "I am naturally overjoyed by Brother Su’s visit to Five Elders Mountain, but I do have a few questions for you.

You are so young yet possess such strength, but why have I never heard of you before?

And, did you cause some trouble in Kai Ping Prefecture? But in Kai Ping Prefecture, there is a Martial Arts Grandmaster from the Demon Cleansing Bureau stationed there. How did you manage to escape from a Martial Arts Grandmaster?

And after you were added to the wanted list of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, why did you come to Smoke Wave Prefecture? Logically, you should have first sought a secluded mountain forest to lay low."

Li Tianbao had been a water bandit his whole life, developing the Red Flag Thieves from just a few small-time bandits to now occupying Five Elders Mountain, even the Demon Cleansing Bureau could not touch him; obviously, he was no simple character.

After Fang Dahai’s report, he instinctively felt suspicious of the man before him.

It was all too coincidental; the agents of the Demon Department were onto him, and he just happened to escape to Fang Dahai’s ship.

Li Tianbao was always cautious, and his first reaction to the arrival of a Xuan Gang Realm Martial Artist was not elation but vigilance.

Upon hearing this, Han Zheng’s expression instantly darkened.

"Great Master, are you interrogating me?"
