I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World
Chapter 510 - 510: The Choice of 5 Families and 7 Sects

The Smell Fragrance Sect has revived in the Southern Mountain, and from the beginning, there was a hint of something strange about the matter.

Back then, Chen Baxian had completely suppressed the Smell Fragrance Sect in Huainan Road. Even if some of its forces were hidden underground, it shouldn't have been able to revive so quickly.

Moreover, the reason the Smell Fragrance Sect caused chaos in Huainan was that it had been established there for decades.

The Smell Fragrance Sect had no roots in the Southern Mountain, yet it suddenly blossomed everywhere. Han Zheng absolutely did not believe there wasn't something fishy involved.

Xu Cunbao could also see the strangeness in this, so he immediately judged that the Smell Fragrance Sect was brought in by the Martial World forces.

The Five Families and Seven Sects of the Southern Mountain couldn't all be colluding with the Smell Fragrance Sect, but there was definitely one or two that were.

After listening, Han Zheng's eyes flashed with coldness.

Ren Tianying and those Martial World forces in the Southern Mountain were purely like dogs biting dogs, none of them were any good.

Ren Tianying was narrow-minded and arrogant, acting recklessly for his own power and fame, causing heavy casualties in the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department.

If those Martial World forces in the Southern Mountain had joined hands to fight Ren Tianying, Han Zheng would have thought more highly of them.

Moreover, afterward, the Demon Cleansing Bureau wouldn't punish them, only transfer Ren Tianying because Ren Tianying's reckless actions were the initial cause, and the Demon Cleansing Bureau shouldn't punish without education, making them unjust in this matter.

In the end, they didn't dare to openly target Ren Tianying, but secretly brought in the Smell Fragrance Sect, causing chaos in the Southern Mountain, forcing Ren Tianying to stop to deal with the Smell Fragrance Sect.

Han Zheng did not believe they didn't know what kind of scum the Smell Fragrance Sect was.

Because of the conflict between Ren Tianying and the Southern Mountain Martial World forces, leading to the Smell Fragrance Sect's chaos in the Southern Mountain, in less than two months, the entire Southern Mountain has suffered heavy losses, and probably tens of thousands of commoners have started smelling the fragrance.

With methods like those of the Smell Fragrance Sect, once commoners start burning blood and smelling the fragrance, the cost is their life span!

Xu Cunbao sighed, "I have experienced the chaos of the Smell Fragrance Sect and know how serious it is, but Ren Tianying does not and is still contending with those Martial World forces.

Originally, with Ren Tianying there, at least we had a powerful Great Grandmaster of the Yang God Realm holding the fort, able to maintain the situation.

Until a month ago, Ren Tianying discovered a set of ruins where Yang God Realm experts from major factions in the Martial World and two Divine Venerables from the Smell Fragrance Sect followed him exploring and contending.

But the problem was that while everyone else came out, Ren Tianying did not. It is said that he went too deep in the ruins and lost his way.

After coming out of the ruins, both the Smell Fragrance Sect and the major factions drastically changed their previous behavior, starting to seize land and set up magic platforms, not knowing what they were doing.

Before, the Smell Fragrance Sect was only making commoners burn blood and smell fragrance to develop followers, but now they have even started to attack the State Mansion.

The Five Families and Seven Sects did the same, with some Martial World forces even sweeping across the government within their territories, directly taking over county cities and State Mansions to set up magic platforms.

Some neighboring forces even clashed multiple times over some county cities and State Mansions.

Our Demon Cleansing Bureau was completely driven out of the major State Mansions by the Smell Fragrance Sect and the Five Families and Seven Sects, to a pitiful degree that could almost compare to the chaos caused by the Black Mountain Demon back then.

The Five Families and Seven Sects are even more cautious; they don't dare to openly rebel, just expel the Demon Cleansing Bureau from the State Mansions to set up magic platforms.

However, the Smell Fragrance Sect, probably due to its deep hatred for Chen Zhenfu, is bent on exterminating us.

Han Zheng sneered upon hearing this, "Not daring to openly rebel? They dare remove the government and drive our Demon Cleansing Bureau out of the State Mansion, how is that different from rebellion?"

Xu Cunbao smiled bitterly, "The difference is that if they really rebel, our Demon Cleansing Bureau will have to face the double pressure from the Smell Fragrance Sect and the Five Families and Seven Sects, which is practically a dead end."

"So, in other words, the situation worsened after they entered that set of ruins. What on earth did they find in those ruins to dare take actions so akin to rebellion?"

Han Zheng's eyes showed a hint of contemplation.

Southern Mountain's Five Families and Seven Sects, aside from the Great Compassion Temple and the Xiao Family of the Divine Spear, are almost all no good.

Each is very short-sighted, only concerned with their own interests, specializing in stabbing people in the back.

They wouldn't openly join hands to deal with Ren Tianying but would secretly introduce the Smell Fragrance Sect into the Southern Mountain, showing their modus operandi from this point.

However, after coming out from the ruins, they dared to expel the Demon Cleansing Bureau and established some magic platforms in various places, suggesting a hint of the strange, as if they suddenly were not afraid of the court's aftermath retaliation?

The only explanation could be that they could gain benefits from this matter that are difficult to measure, benefits so significant that they offset the court's retaliation afterward, making them willing to risk their heads to do it!

"Have all Five Families and Seven Sects set up magic platforms?"

Xu Cunbao shook his head and said, "The Great Compassion Temple, the Xiao Family of the Divine Spear, and the Jianghai Alliance have not."

Han Zheng could understand why the Great Compassion Temple didn't do this.

The Abbot of the Great Compassion Temple, Zen Master Pu Du, is indeed a high monk, compassionate, incapable of doing such things.

Han Zheng could also understand the Divine Spear Xiao Family.

The ancestors of the Xiao family followed the Grand Ancestor of the Great Zhou in establishing the empire. It was only in later years when they fell out with the Grand Ancestor that they returned to the Martial World.

Otherwise, now the Xiao family should also be one of the top nobles of the Capital City.

Although in recent years, the Xiao family has maintained a very poor relationship with the court, their actions are still quite upright, always eliminating demons and some ferocious criminals and evil-doers within their territory.

The reason the Xiao family acts this way is simple.

In their view, the Great Zhou is not only the court's Great Zhou, it's also the Grand Ancestor's Great Zhou, established through the hardships of their Xiao family ancestors, so, of course, they wouldn't harm the common people, otherwise, wouldn't it be a shame to their ancestors?

It's a pity that this kind of awareness is only found in the Xiao Family, a Martial World family that has long been detaching from the court's central hub for thousands of years.

Yet the nobles in the Capital City are each greedy and brutal, treating common people like pigs, dogs, and slaves.

These two families not getting involved in these matters Han Zheng understood, but the Jianghai Alliance came as a bit of a surprise to Han Zheng.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Tianzhi, a martial artist of humble origin, became quite clear-headed and broad-minded in a critical moment.

Xu Cunbao, seeing what Han Zheng was thinking, chuckled and said, "The reason why Qiu Gang Leader of Jianghai Alliance didn't act like other forces is not because he has broad vision, but because Qiu Tianzhi values loyalty more.

According to Qiu Tianzhi, in his life, he respects no one but Chen Zhenfu.

Particularly after the chaos of the Black Mountain Demon, when Chen Zhenfu forced the handing over of a tenth of assets from the Five Families and Seven Sects to the Jianghai Alliance, he respected Chen Zhenfu even more.

According to him, having received Chen Zhenfu's rewards, he couldn't bring himself to commit such treacherous acts."

"Chivalrous deeds often emerge from humble origins, and those self-proclaimed prestigious major factions of the Five Families and Seven Sects with hundreds, even thousands, of years of legacy still act no better than Qiu Tianzhi, someone from humble beginnings."

Han Zheng gently shook his head and said, "We'll talk about the Five Families and Seven Sects and the Smell Fragrance Sect later. The most important thing now is to retake Kai Ping Prefecture.

It doesn't make sense for the capital of the Southern Mountain to be occupied by the Smell Fragrance Sect now.

Are you clear on the specific strength of the Smell Fragrance Sect in Kai Ping Prefecture, Elder Xu?"

"A bit clear, and their strength is not weak at all."

Xu Cunbao said solemnly, "The Night Sky God Venerable, one of the Nine Heavens Guardian Divine Venerables of the Smell Fragrance Sect, is currently stationed in Kai Ping Prefecture, with still over a thousand of the Smell Fragrance Sect's elites under him."

Even though the lower-level martial artists of the Smell Fragrance Sect are generally weak, once reaching the Yang God Realm level, there are no mediocrities.

In other words, those who can enter the Yang God Realm level are almost never too mediocre.

Even if Qing Jingzi of White Cloud Temple is somewhat lacking in combat strength, he is not weak in other aspects.

However, with Han Zheng's current strength, he is fully qualified to confront someone of the Yang God Realm, not to mention he still has Bu Tiange and Wen Tingyun assisting him.

"Time waits for no one, so let's head back to Kai Ping Prefecture now and catch the Smell Fragrance Sect off guard."

At this moment, Han Zheng suddenly recalled something: "Where is Su Wuming? Where did he go?"
