I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 146: The Disciple Becomes a Son

Liao Hongsheng was responsible for garrisoning Smoke Wave Prefecture, and Guiyuan Sword Pavilion was located in the vicinity of Smoke Wave Prefecture.

Thus, Liao Hongsheng's assessment of Guiyuan Sword Pavilion's strength should be the most accurate.

Han Zheng hadn't expected the reputation of Guiyuan Sword Pavilion in Liao Hongsheng's words to be so high.

Yin Taiqing truly had significant abilities.

His own strength was naturally strong, as he was considered an innate prodigy.

But the strength of the disciples under him mostly depended on accumulations over generations.

Just like the Cang Mountain Sword Sect, they gathered disciples with good talents from all over Southern Mountain.

Guiyuan Sword Pavilion, having been established for only a decade or so, had disciples capable of rivaling those from the Five Families and Seven Sects, either because Guiyuan Sword Pavilion was lucky, attracting disciples each with excellent talents and innate abilities.

Or perhaps Yin Taiqing excelled in training disciples.

Liao Hongsheng was a rugged man, and besides telling everyone to be cautious, there wasn't much else to say.

At this moment, however, he turned his gaze to Han Zheng and said with a chuckle, "I've heard about you, you're one of the Demon Cleansing Bureau's Twin Devils, right? Not bad, not bad, during the incident where you wiped out the Feng Family, you and Su Wuming truly made our Demon Cleansing Bureau's prestige shine.

Were you recommended to join the Demon Cleansing Bureau by Zhang Tianyang? It looks like that boy Zhang finally showed some good judgment this time."

Hearing the nickname "Twin Devils" from the Demon Cleansing Bureau, Han Zheng was momentarily speechless.

How did such a nickname become so widely known?

"Liao sir, do you also know Lord Zhang Tianyang?"

Liao Hongsheng chuckled and replied, "Know him? Of course, we've known each other for over a decade.

Back in the military, we were good friends and later joined the Demon Cleansing Bureau together.

However, that young man didn't have much luck; not only was his talent limited, but he also suffered a severe injury later on that hindered his cultivation.

Apart from anything else, Zhang's willingness to take risks and act decisively allowed him to accumulate merit rapidly. If not for that incident, he should have also been able to gather enough resources to enter the Xuan Gang Realm and become a Demon Sweeping Captain."

Patting Han Zheng's shoulder lightly, Liao Hongsheng smiled and said, "I heard it was Zhang Tianyang who recommended you to the Demon Cleansing Bureau. I started keeping an eye on you as soon as you made a name for yourself.

In terms of being daring and decisive, you are certainly not inferior to Zhang Tianyang. What is rare about you is that you have much more wits than that young man.

He might act tough all day as if he's something special, but in reality, he's just feigning depth, mimicking Chen Zhenfu's manner.

Be cautious later when attacking Guiyuan Sword Pavilion, as there is something nefarious about them. Although they haven't been established for long, each disciple possesses astonishing strength, so don't let your guard down."

Han Zheng nodded and asked, "Lord Liao, since you've been garrisoned at Smoke Wave Prefecture, have you had conflicts with Guiyuan Sword Pavilion?"

Liao Hongsheng looked somewhat displeased and answered, "I haven't been stationed here at Smoke Wave Prefecture for long, just over a year.

Given Guiyuan Sword Pavilion's significant reputation around here, it's natural for us at the Demon Cleansing Bureau to have conflicts with them.

Anyway, I never had an advantage, but this time Guiyuan Sword Pavilion really brought disaster upon themselves as their direct disciples colluded with demons, and they are certainly not going to end well."

While they were talking, the gates of Guiyuan Sword Pavilion suddenly opened, and about five hundred disciples of Guiyuan Sword Pavilion walked out under the lead of Yin Taiqing.

Yao Zijing and his fiancée Ling Xian'er followed just behind Yin Taiqing, clearly visible without any concealment.

Though Han Zheng was on the eastern side, he could still see the situation at the gate.

Yin Taiqing, who was over sixty years old this year, didn't look old due to his early fame, appearing to be in his early forties.

Dressed in green with a sword on his back, he had a handsome and scholarly appearance, with a long beard and a tall, upright figure, exuding the demeanor of an ethereal swordsman.

Xu Cunbao, looking at Yin Taiqing, sighed and said, "Yin Taiqing, it's been a long time. I didn't expect that upon meeting today, we would have to confront each other with weapons."

Yin Taiqing also felt somewhat nostalgic, "Yes, it's been over a decade since we last met, and I didn't think that when we met again, it would be a matter of life or death.

Elder Xu, does the Demon Cleansing Bureau really need to eradicate my Guiyuan Sword Pavilion with no possibility of reconciliation?"

Xu Cunbao's white hair fluttered in the wind, his eyes wide like those of an enraged lion.

"Eliminate completely? Haven't I given you a chance? Wasn't three days enough time for you to make a decision?

It's not that I didn't give Guiyuan Sword Pavilion any leeway; it's not that I want to eliminate them completely, you just didn't leave any room for yourself!"

Yin Taiqing sneered coldly, "The 'opportunity' Elder Xu speaks of, is asking me to hand over Zijing and Xian'er, making Guiyuan Sword Pavilion branded as colluding with demons and utterly unable to raise our heads in the Martial World of Southern Mountain, to eventually fall into despair? I'd rather not accept such an opportunity!"

"These are all your own doing, aren't you aware that your Direct Disciple colluded with demons!?

The young swordsman who once aspired to support the distressed and eliminate demons, why has he changed into what he is now?"

Suddenly, Yin Taiqing laughed out loud, then his expression instantly turned cold, "I've never changed!

Elder Xu, you should know what it was like around Smoke Wave Prefecture more than a decade ago, before Guiyuan Sword Pavilion was established here.

Situated at the border, backed by Smoke Wave Lake, thieves and demons abound, Sect families fought incessantly, it was a land of chaos.

I, Yin Taiqing, established Guiyuan Sword Pavilion and executed more than a dozen gangs of robbers and thieves, ensuring safe passage for caravans.

I, Yin Taiqing, built alliances and set orders, stopping nearby Sect families from wanton killings, preventing innocent casualties.

I, Yin Taiqing, along with my disciples, entered Smoke Wave Lake, slaughtered those so-called river gods and sprites, and large scale bandits, allowing the locals to fish in the lake without fearing becoming a meal in the bellies of lake demons!

All these years, I, Yin Taiqing, have saved countless lives; how many people have set up life-long tablets for me at their homes?

The aspirations of my youth, I've not only achieved them but exceeded what I initially imagined!"

Xu Cunbao looked calmly at Yin Taiqing, "But your disciple's fiancée killed over five hundred civilians in Kai Ping Prefecture!"

"Just a mere five hundred people! Over these many years, I, Yin Taiqing, have saved not just five hundred but five thousand people!

Because of Guiyuan Sword Pavilion's establishment in Smoke Wave Prefecture, even more than fifty thousand lives were saved!

Just because of these mere five hundred people, should the Demon Cleansing Bureau wipe out Guiyuan Sword Pavilion?"

Yin Taiqing's face was full of fierce anger, he truly felt the Demon Cleansing Bureau was being unjust.

"Good deeds do not offset the bad; even if you've saved five hundred thousand, it does not justify willfully killing five hundred people."

Xu Cunbao calmly looked at Yin Taiqing, "A disciple, a demon, I don't understand why you protect them so.

You know the consequences of colluding with demons; for just these two individuals, is it worth gambling the entire Guiyuan Sword Pavilion?

Look at those disciples behind you, see the fear on their faces.

You want to die, but do your disciples want to die with you? Gambling the lives of over five hundred disciples for one, is that fair to them?"

Behind Yin Taiqing, the disciples of Guiyuan Sword Pavilion were not like their Sect Leader; rather than fearless, their faces were full of terror.

They clearly understood the criminal charges of colluding with demons and the consequences of opposing the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

They were not the madmen of Smell Fragrance Sect or the desperate outlaws of the Blood Wolf Thieves.

But strangely, not one of them ran away; although frightened, they stood their ground resolutely.

"For one disciple, one demon, of course it's not worth it."

Yin Taiqing turned to look at Yao Zijing and Ling Xian'er, his gaze carrying a hint of tenderness.

"But for my son, my daughter-in-law, it is worth it.

As for my disciples, without me, they would spend their lives as low-level martial artists, with no hope of reaching Innate.

I allowed them to enter the Guiyuan Sword Pond to cleanse their bodies; only then could they have their current cultivation and status.

Now that the Sect is in jeopardy, it's natural for them to fight to the death for the Sect."

As soon as Yin Taiqing spoke, both Xu Cunbao and Wen Tingyun's expressions suddenly changed.

Who could have anticipated that Yao Zijing was not Yin Taiqing's disciple, but his biological son! His own son!
