I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

Leaving the Great Compassion Temple, Han Zheng went directly to the Jianghai Alliance to meet its Alliance Hierarch, 'Black Prison Mad Dragon' Qiu Tianzhi.

Upon hearing of Han Zheng's arrival, Qiu Tianzhi personally came out to greet him.

"Hahaha! I heard that Lord Han followed Chen Zhenfu to the Capital City, was conferred the Chief of Thirteen Guards, and solved major cases within the Capital. You even used True Pill to slash Yang God and wiped out the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect. That's truly impressive! Now that you're back to support the Southern Mountain, I believe the chaos there will soon be resolved."

As soon as they met, Qiu Tianzhi warmly invited Han Zheng into the Jianghai Alliance hall and recounted Han Zheng's achievements in the Capital City as if they were his own treasured memories.

Qiu Tianzhi also noticed Lian Sheng behind Han Zheng. Although curious why a disciple of Zen Master Pu Du would follow Han Zheng, he didn't ask much.

"How did Alliance Hierarch Qiu learn about my deeds in the Capital City?" Han Zheng asked curiously.

The Demon Cleansing Bureau and Martial World forces operate differently. What Han Zheng did in the Capital would surely be known internally by the Demon Cleansing Bureau, but in the Martial World, it would only reach the vicinity of the Capital at most.

"Lord Han must not forget what business our Jianghai Alliance does—cargo transport!

Southern Mountain produces many minerals, with nearly half being transported to the Capital via our Jianghai Alliance's channels.

Our disciples go to the Capital to gather various news, among which there are quite a few about you, Lord Han."

Han Zheng suddenly understood why Qiu Tianzhi was so enthusiastic toward him.

It seems that Qiu Tianzhi knows even more about Han Zheng's formidable achievements in the Capital than Xu Cunbao does.

"Lord Han must have come today to address the chaos in Southern Mountain, correct? I'm a straightforward person, if there's anything, just say it."

Qiu Tianzhi got straight to the point, not wanting to beat around the bush with Han Zheng.

Han Zheng said in a somber tone, "Indeed, the current situation in Southern Mountain needs to be tidied up. The Smell Fragrance Sect is causing trouble, and some entities among the Five Families and Seven Sects are even expelling the Government and Demon Cleansing Bureau—it's practically rebellion!

This is different from the previous battle against the Black Mountain Demon; those daring to expel the Demon Cleansing Bureau must be eradicated!

I seek Alliance Hierarch Qiu to ask you to stand with the Demon Cleansing Bureau to completely pacify Southern Mountain."

Qiu Tianzhi rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment, saying, "Lord Han, I'm a straightforward person, so I must say even if my words are unpleasant.

Replacing Chen Zhenfu, that Ren Tianying, what a joke! Pretending to be something he's not!

Chen Zhenfu's power is unparalleled in the Yang God Realm, single-handedly suppressing the Black Mountain Demon. Even if he didn't pretend, we respected him.

But can Ren Tianying, with his tricks, pull that off? Does he think because he's from the Capital, he can be arrogant in front of us? Simply preposterous!

He even wants to control our business, and even when accepting disciples, we need his approval? With tens of thousands of brothers in our Jianghai Alliance, does he approve each one?

Those rules he made, I'm too lazy to even mention them—a frog on a log, playing tricks!

To be honest, the chaos in Southern Mountain is significantly his fault!"

Han Zheng could tell that Qiu Tianzhi held deep resentment towards Ren Tianying.

Born from grassroots, Qiu Tianzhi has a stubborn personality.

When the Black Mountain Demon severely injured him, he harbored resentment for decades just to settle scores.

He respected Chen Baxian, accepting whatever he said.

Now with Ren Tianying playing these tricks, he's naturally very upset.

"Alliance Hierarch Qiu, calm down. Even the Demon Cleansing Bureau will not forgive Ren Tianying for messing up Southern Mountain, but right now we need to address the current issues of Southern Mountain."

Qiu Tianzhi took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Lord Han, it's only because you're here, otherwise I wouldn't bother with others.

Ren Tianying is your Demon Cleansing Bureau's person, he's messed up Southern Mountain, yet now you come to me to jointly pacify it. To be honest, I really don't want to participate.

Though I don't get along with the Five Families and Seven Sects, they are all Martial World people, and previously facing Ren Tianying, everyone stood together. If I now side with the Demon Cleansing Bureau, wouldn't I become their lapdog?"

"Not at all, Alliance Hierarch Qiu, you wouldn't be siding with the Demon Cleansing Bureau, but standing alongside the people of Southern Mountain."

Han Zheng suddenly asked, "Alliance Hierarch Qiu should have also obtained that golden cube and magic platform from the ruins, right? But why haven't you stopped your people from worshiping or absorbing its power?"

Qiu Tianzhi frowned and said, "Honestly, I was tempted when I first learned of its effect, but the more I pondered, the more something felt off—it seemed like something a cult might make, similar to the Smell Fragrance Sect's blood-burning technique.

The Smell Fragrance Sect's followers began their blood-burning worship without problems, but later suffered blood deficiencies and exhaustion, ending in death by fragrance.

In the Jianghai Alliance's territory, many people's relatives and descendants are part of the Jianghai Alliance, they're like brothers under me.

If I were to seek fleeting power and cause harm to those who trust and rely on me, wouldn't I be dishonored by them for life?

That's why, despite being tempted by this thing, I dared not truly use it."

Han Zheng originally thought Qiu Tianzhi hadn't established the magic platform due to discovering something amiss like Zen Master Pu Du, but it turned out to be merely out of sheer loyalty.

This Jianghai Alliance Hierarch's actions are indeed less like the Governing heads of the Five Families and Seven Sects, too impulsive.

However, dealing with such a person means there's no concern about being backstabbed anytime.

"Alliance Hierarch Qiu's worries are valid, this thing indeed has problems."

Saying this, Han Zheng explained Wen Tingyun's research results to Qiu Tianzhi.

After listening, Qiu Tianzhi's face suddenly changed: "I knew it was too good to be true! This thing indeed has issues!"

Han Zheng said solemnly, "Alliance Hierarch Qiu, some in the Five Families and Seven Sects are shortsighted, the Smell Fragrance Sect disregards the fate of Southern Mountain. If allowed to continue, Southern Mountain will face constant disasters. Action must be taken to halt this.

After the Black Mountain Demon chaos, Chen Zhenfu handed a tenth of each family's assets to the Jianghai Alliance as compensation for the battle against the Black Mountain Demon.

Since then, Jianghai Alliance has no longer been in line with the Five Families and Seven Sects. So, even if you don't act, Alliance Hierarch Qiu, you will still remain respected.

Chen Zhenfu was right in ensuring fairness; putting the effort in cannot be for nothing, which I completely agree with.

I must eradicate some families from the Five Families and Seven Sects, and as long as Alliance Hierarch Qiu helps me, their freight business will all be managed by Jianghai Alliance.

Moreover, I can guarantee that all prefectures in Southern Mountain will allow Jianghai Alliance to set up branches and recruit disciples."

Different tactics for different people.

For a compassionate master like Zen Master Pu Du, simply revealing the state of Southern Mountain would suffice, and he'd naturally choose to help.

But for Qiu Tianzhi, being straightforward and clear is better.

Clearly lay out the current situation and promise enough benefits, and Qiu Tianzhi naturally would make a choice.

After listening to Han Zheng, Qiu Tianzhi remained silent for a moment and asked, "To establish branches in every prefecture of Kai Ping Prefecture? Lord Han, aren't you worried that the Jianghai Alliance might become unwieldy?"

"It's pointless to worry; the Demon Cleansing Bureau can't suppress the Martial World like three millennia ago, so naturally power will fill this world."

Han Zheng stared at Qiu Tianzhi and said solemnly, "Since anyone can occupy this Martial World, I'd rather have Alliance Hierarch Qiu than anyone else.

Even if Jianghai Alliance will be unwieldy in the future, that's a problem for another time.

After my death, what do I care about floods? My task now is to pacify Southern Mountain; any future risks don't concern me."
