I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 193: Old Dog!
"Elder Yue, I didn't expect you to personally come this time."
Yuwen Kang approached Yue Tiande with a smile and gave a polite bow.
Yue Tiande was of a very high generation, on par with his Yuwen Family's ancestor, Yuwen Xizhen, so Yuwen Kang treated him with respect.
"It is good nephew Kang. How has Brother Yuwen been lately?"
Yuwen Kang chuckled and said, "Our family ancestor is advanced in age and has long since given up on pursuing the Martial Arts. Realizing that there was no hope of entering the Dan Sea Realm in this lifetime, he now contentedly spends his days gardening and fishing at home. Those days are truly pleasant beyond measure."
"Brother Yuwen knows how to enjoy life, unlike this old man who is of such an age and still has to fight for life and death."
As Yue Tiande said this, a cold look flashed across his face, "Smoke Wave Prefecture has had too many incidents recently. If I don't step forward to impose some control, all manner of monsters and demons will emerge!"
With that said, a procession of people made their way directly to the gates of Lishan Sect.
Chen Jiuzhen was not at the Lishan Sect, but had taken some disciples of the Black Water Gang, including a few who had defected to the gang from the Lishan Sect, to wait on the stairs of the mountain gate as if they were deliberately waiting for them to arrive.
Yue Tiande stepped forward and said in a cold voice, "Chen Jiuzhen, do you still remember me?"
A smile appeared on Chen Jiuzhen's face, "How could I possibly forget Elder Yue, the ancestor of the Yue Family?"
"Since you remember, how dare you betray the alliance? Are you looking for death?"
Yue Tiande bellowed angrily, "Your Black Water Gang is nothing but a lowly bandit gang. Back in the day, any power could have easily crushed your Black Water Gang!
It was you, Chen Jiuzhen, who knelt before me, willing to follow the lead of our six families, and only then did I grant your Black Water Gang a chance to live.
I never thought that a random act of kindness in taking in a dog would lead to it turning around and biting its master!"
Chen Jiuzhen's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pot, gloomy as if water could drip from it.
He, too, was a heroic figure who knew when to yield and when to stand tall.
Originally, to allow the Black Water Gang to develop in Smoke Wave Prefecture, he had taken the initiative to seek favor with the Yue Family, which led Yue Tiande to speak up and thus enabled the Black Water Gang to survive and develop to the present.
The price, however, was that from then on, the Black Water Gang had to look up to these Sect clans of Smoke Wave Prefecture, transport goods for them, and so on.
Yue Tiande calling Chen Jiuzhen a dog he had raised was no exaggeration.
"Even raising a dog knows to feed it well; when have you ever cared for the life or death of my Black Water Gang?"
Chen Jiuzhen pointed at Yue Tiande and said coldly, "I've had enough of living like this. Even if I die today, I will splatter your kind with blood!
And you, old dog of the Yue Family! Don't think I don't know. Although you let my Black Water Gang develop along the coasts of Smoke Wave Prefecture, you deliberately told other powers to suppress my Black Water Gang!
When Yin Taiqing of Guiyuan Sword Pavilion struck you with one sword, injuring you like beating a dog, it scared you, and you were afraid to allow other powers to emerge around Smoke Wave Prefecture.
Yue Tiande, you are nothing more than a cowardly old guard dog!"
"You're seeking death!"
Yue Tiande's expression had already become exceedingly gloomy.
Just as he was about to take action, a mocking voice suddenly came from the side.
"Elder Yue, if I may say so, at your age, why bother coming out here to endure such scolding?
Wouldn't it be better to feed fish and plant flowers at home, hoping to live a few more years?"
Han Zheng, leading over eighty members of the Xuanjia Guard from the Demon Cleansing Bureau of Smoke Wave Prefecture, appeared on the other side.
Seeing Han Zheng's arrival, Chen Jiuzhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had cursed bitterly, his heart had always been on edge due to the Yue Family's long-standing authority in Smoke Wave Prefecture.
Now, seeing Han Zheng finally arrive, he felt somewhat emboldened.
"Han Zheng! You do have your methods!"
Yue Qing pointed at Han Zheng and said coldly, "Last time I thought you were a man of principle, but it turns out you only know how to use such sinister tricks to stir up people's hearts!
And how stupid of Chen Jiuzhen to have boarded your pirate ship!
If we really set up for battle, fighting openly with might and main, do you think you stand a chance against us?"
Yue Tiande gestured for Yue Qing to back down.
He looked Han Zheng over carefully and spoke indifferently, "Mr. Han, this is our first meeting, but I feel as if I've known you for a long time already.
"
"I have met with every Demon Sweeping Captain who has garrisoned Smoke Wave Prefecture throughout the generations, except for you. I never personally met with you, and now our first encounter is with weapons drawn against each other.
Mr. Han, have you ever wondered why so many generations of Demon Sweeping Captains never thought to wage war against our Sect Families and forcibly seize the Spiritual Field Mines?
That's because they didn't dare!
In Southern Mountain, with its many State Mansions, each Demon Sweeping Captain can hardly stay in one State Mansion for five years before being transferred to other places or to the headquarters in Kai Ping Prefecture.
Not being able to retrieve the Spiritual Field Mines doesn't hinder their promotion. Once they waged war with us, the consequences would be unimaginable and unbearable for the Demon Sweeping Captains.
Mr. Han, there is still one chance left.
If you leave now with your people and let us level the Black Water Gang, there is still hope for redemption.
Otherwise, once the battle starts, it won't be something you can stop!"
Han Zheng listened and suddenly burst into laughter, then his expression turned icy cold.
"I call you an old predecessor, and you really start acting like one, an old guard dog at home. Do you really think you're someone of importance?
The Demon Cleansing Bureau doesn't want to move against you because they fear wasting energy, not because they don't dare to!
And you still think to give me a chance, what a joke!

I already gave you a chance, and you squandered it last time.
We could have cooperatively prospered, developing those Spiritual Field Mines together, making money and reaping benefits for all. But since you've rejected the opportunity so blatantly, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Yuwen Kang looked at Han Zheng and slightly frowned.
This Han Zheng's display is far too arrogant. Where does such audacity come from?
If you say he has no brains, that's impossible; after all, he could incite Chen Jiuzhen to destroy the Lishan Sect behind the scenes. How could such a person be brainless?
So, what exactly is Han Zheng relying on? Could it be that he brought reinforcements from Kai Ping Prefecture?
Before Yuwen Kang could think any further, Yue Tiande exploded in anger.
Who does he, Yue Tiande, think he is?
An esteemed elder in the Martial World, with the highest seniority in the entire Smoke Wave Prefecture, second only to Yuwen Xizhen of the Yuwen Family in strength and elder status.
On normal days, when the leaders of the big Sects see him, which one of them isn't polite, respectfully addressing him as 'Old Predecessor'?
But today, Chen Jiuzhen and Han Zheng are calling him an old dog left and right; Yue Tiande is already furious.
"Ungrateful fools! Kill them!"
Yue Tiande's body shone with the dazzling Ice Soul Divine Light, and suddenly, a palm strike descended, a giant handprint over thirty feet in size crashing down from the sky, its cold radiance bone-piercing, charging straight towards Han Zheng.
Dark Demonic Qi gathered in front of Han Zheng, and the Beidou Tianxuan True Gang was pushed to its limits. Forming the Great Vajra Ming King Seal with his hands, the shadow of the four-armed Ming King emerged behind him, confronting the incoming palm.
With a burst of Gang Qi, Han Zheng was suddenly forced back three steps, an extremely cold, chilling qi directly penetrating his body, freezing his True Yuan.
The Ice Soul Profound Treasure Book, the Cultivation Technique passed down through the Yue Family, which claims to freeze any Gang Qi, has an extremely strong and overbearing attribute.
The Gang Qi cultivated from the Beidou Tianxuan True Gang was actually affected, starting to freeze and slow down.
The next moment, Han Zheng's Qi Blood Power surged, and the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppressing Power exploded suddenly, directly expelling that force from his body.
Han Zheng looked up, giving Yue Tiande a grim smile.
Yue Tiande's strength was weaker than he had anticipated.
At his peak, he might indeed have been close to reaching the Dan Sea Realm, but now he was already aging, with his Qi Blood on the brink of depletion.
The explosive force of this strike was still powerful, but it was still a great distance from the Dan Sea Realm, proving that Yue Tiande's strength was in decline.
In the last few days, Han Zheng had refined quite a few Elixirs obtained from the Lishan Sect, and his own strength had soared greatly.
Although he still had not reached the Middle Stage of the Xuan Gang Realm, it was only a fine line away.
With this, the pressure Yue Tiande exerted on Han Zheng was much less than he had imagined.
"What are you waiting for? Attack!"
Yue Qing shouted to Tuoba Feng and the others, then led the Yue Family's men to attack Han Zheng as well.
But after Yue Qing shouted, he failed to see the strange looks given by Tuoba Feng and those from the Wen Family from behind.
