I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 144 Ling Xian’er

"My apologies to everyone here. I never expected such an incident to occur during the birthday banquet. Please forgive the lack of hospitality,"

Han Zheng bowed in apology to the Martial World guests present.

With such an incident, the banquet could obviously not continue.

The others no longer had the appetite for the feast, all eager to return to their respective forces as quickly as possible to report the incident.

A Direct Disciple of the Guiyuan Sword Sect colluding with Demons—this was no small matter. It touched upon the bottom line of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, and the Martial World of Southern Mountain was likely to experience another shockwave.

Among them, those who had cooperated with the Guiyuan Sword Sect might need to reconsider their future relationship with the sect and whether to sever ties immediately.

"Family Head Tang is being too polite. No one would wish for this kind of thing to happen,"

While exchanging these pleasantries, everyone hastily departed from Yunhe Manor.

In moments, the once bustling Yunhe Manor suddenly became eerily quiet.

After everyone had left, Tang Heyan expressed his grievances somewhat: "Elder ancestor, that wretched woman is clearly slapping the Tang Family's face by going to the Demon Cleansing Bureau at this time. Why didn't you stop her?"

Tang Youde snorted coldly, "Stop her? How? If I had stopped her from going to the Demon Cleansing Bureau, I would have been slapping the Bureau in the face!

Today is just the Tang Family's misfortune, to have encountered such a situation. It's already good enough that we haven't been implicated by the Demon Cleansing Bureau. Why provoke them unnecessarily?

And stop calling her that; the girl is, after all, your daughter.

Her joining the Demon Cleansing Bureau has its advantages. If the Bureau has any news in the future, we might be able to learn of it in time through her."

Living for so many years, if nothing else, Tang Youde was adept at changing with the wind and preserving himself wisely.

A Direct Disciple of the Guiyuan Sword Sect, Yin Taiqing, was now revealed to have colluded with Demons—an event far from trivial. The whole Martial World of Southern Mountain would tremble.

At such a time, having a Tang Family member inside the Demon Cleansing Bureau provided a flexible channel for information.

Tang Youde gazed coldly at Tang Heyan: "Don't think that just because you've become the Family Head, you can truly make decisions for the family.

If we truly let you decide everything, the Tang Family would have been ruined a hundred times over!"

"Elder ancestor, please calm your anger. I didn't mean it that way!"

Tang Heyan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The Tang Family's current status relied on the reputation and relationships Tang Youde had built over the years.

As the Family Head, he truly did not have as much authority as the elder ancestor Tang Youde.

At that moment, on a desolate mountain, Ling Xian'er gently laid down Yao Zijing with her fox tail.

"Husband, are you alright?"

Ling Xian'er gently cradled Yao Zijing's face, full of concern.

Yao Zijing's complexion was pale as he shook his head, "I'm fine. The burning of Qi and blood was just a bit excessive."

"It's all my fault! If I hadn't been unable to resist absorbing that Tang family servant's Qi and blood, it wouldn't have led to this."

Ling Xian'er's face was filled with guilt as she tenderly rubbed Yao Zijing's head.

Yao Zijing sighed and held Ling Xian'er's hand tight.

"Xian'er, what are you saying? If anyone is to blame, it's me. After being discovered in Kai Ping Prefecture, I should not have gone to the Tang Family but should have taken you straight back to Guiyuan Sword Pavilion.

Master has long been fed up with that decrepit Tang Youde. He couldn't be bothered to celebrate his birthday purely out of concern for reputation. There wouldn't have been a problem if I hadn't gone.

If you don't absorb Qi and blood, how can you suppress the Nine-tailed Demon Pill within you? I can't bear to see you in pain from the backlash of the Nine-tailed Demon Pill.

If you hurt even slightly, it breaks my heart."

"Husband!"

Ling Xian'er looked deeply moved, clinging tightly to Yao Zijing.

At that moment, Ling Xian'er's brow suddenly furrowed, and Yao Zijing asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Is the Nine-tailed Demon Pill acting up again? Didn't you just absorb some Qi and blood?"

Ling Xian'er nodded gently: "I was a bit hasty when absorbing Qi and blood earlier, which was insufficient to completely suppress the Nine-tailed Demon Pill.

It was my greed. I shouldn't have been in such a rush to merge with the Nine-tailed Demon Pill. I should have waited until I formed my own Demon Pill before attempting to merge with it.

Now it's even caused trouble for you, my husband."

"Don't talk like that. There are only a few Nine-tailed Demon Pills within Qingqiu. What if you don't fuse with it now, and someone else takes it after you condense your own Demon Core? An opportunity like this comes only once, how can I bear to see you miss such a good chance?"

At this time, a woodcutter was struggling to climb up a barren hill with a pile of firewood several times his size on his back, looking for suitable deadwood to chop more before descending the mountain.

Forty pounds is a load, and fifty pounds is also a load. Although it's a bit heavier, selling it for a few more coins means the kids at home can have an extra rye bun for dinner.

The woodcutter also noticed Yao Zijing and Ling Xian'er at this moment.

Although he was curious as to why these two well-dressed affluent individuals were appearing on such a desolate hill where not even birds would defecate, he merely glanced over and continued his search for suitable deadwood.

The burdens of life didn't allow him the luxury of too much curiosity; cutting an extra pound of firewood was what mattered most.

At that moment, Ling Xian'er casually waved her hand and her Demon Energy instantly transformed into a fox tail, rolling the woodcutter up.

Before the man could utter a scream, a wisp of Demon Energy pierced through his carotid artery, and a copious amount of his lifeblood was drawn out.

Ling Xian'er opened her cherry-red lips, and the threadlike lifeblood continuously flowed into her mouth.

Ordinary demons would eat humans by directly biting them, but not her.

Her body belonged only to her husband. How could she touch other filthy men? Even if these people were merely food to her.

In just a moment, the woodcutter's body quickly withered, turning into a dry corpse that was nothing but skin and bones.

Ling Xian'er gently wiped away the trace of fresh blood from the corner of her mouth. Her lips were seductively red, tinged with a hint of blood.

"The lifeblood of this person was a bit lacking and rather smelly. However, it is just enough to suppress the Nine-tailed Demon Pill."

Yao Zijing gently embraced Ling Xian'er, "My Xian'er has suffered. When we return to the Guiyuan Sword Pavilion, I'll slay an Innate Martial Artist. Their lifeblood is abundant and strong, which could suppress the Nine-tailed Demon Pill for a few more days. It's a pity about that Xuanjia Guard we killed earlier. If we had more time, consuming his lifeblood would have definitely helped us endure for a few additional days."

"Husband, I have now become a burden to you. The Demon Cleansing Department will certainly not let this go easily. What should we do?"

Yao Zijing spoke coldly, "Damn Demon Cleansing Department! Those black-skinned dogs have noses like True Spirits! Let's return to the Guiyuan Sword Pavilion first, and see what the Master has to say!"

Ling Xian'er nodded, her powerful Demonic power enveloping Yao Zijing. She directly took to the sky, rushing toward the Guiyuan Sword Pavilion at high speed.

At the same time, Han Zheng and his group had returned to Kai Ping Prefecture and reported in great detail to Wen Tingyun about the Tang Family's situation.

Wen Tingyun was visibly shocked after hearing what Han Zheng had to say.

It wasn't uncommon for forces in the Martial World to conspire with demons.

Most people sought power, such as the Feng Family that had been destroyed by Han Zheng.

But someone like Yao Zijing who was actually in love with a demon, that certainly was a novel occurrence.

"That Ling Xian'er is a Great Demon of the Xuan Gang Realm, and her Innate Divine Ability of speed is astounding. We were unable to intercept her and could only watch as she escaped; we failed to subdue her."

Han Zheng felt a touch of regret.

A Great Demon of the Xuan Gang Realm was not an insurmountable opponent for him and Su Wuming. Hadn't the Scorpion Charm Lady also perished at the hands of their Demon Cleansing Bureau duo?

However, Ling Xian'er's Innate Divine Ability was clearly much stronger than the Scorpion Charm Lady's, and her speed even surpassed the Wind and Thunder Nine Transitions, leaving no way to detain her.

Wen Tingyun shook his head, "You've done well enough. Given that so many people from the Martial World were present, managing to force out this demon without causing conflict with them is already perfect. Moreover, this matter involves the Guiyuan Sword Sect and must be handled with caution."

Wen Tingyun knew all too well what kind of man Tang Youde, that old fellow, was – always playing the seniority card to pressure others.

Han Zheng, employing both soft and hard tactics, managed to force the demon out without directly clashing with Tang Youde, which was as much as Wen Tingyun could have accomplished had he been there.

Then, Wen Tingyun immediately ordered an investigation to determine if Yao Zijing had been to Kai Ping Prefecture recently.

It might be difficult for the Demon Cleansing Department to investigate whether ordinary people had come to Kai Ping Prefecture on a daily basis.

However, a direct disciple from a major Sect like Yao Zijing would frequent bustling venues such as large restaurants and was accompanied by a stunning fiancée, making it hard to not attract attention.

After a thorough investigation, it turned out that in the recent three months, Yao Zijing and Ling Xian'er had come to Kai Ping Prefecture every few days.

Their visits to Kai Ping Prefecture coincided with the spike in the number of people going missing.

The Demon Cleansing Department could now be certain that the other half of the missing people were likely victims of Yao Zijing and Ling Xian'er.

Wen Tingyun spoke gravely, "This matter involves the Guiyuan Sword Sect, and Yin Taiqing is a Martial Arts Grandmaster who has condensed a Martial Arts True Pill. This issue is bound to be troublesome. I will go to Xu Cunbao, the great elder. With Chen Zhenfu not present, our Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department only has Elder Xu, a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and we must discuss this at length."

The timing of Yao Zijing's exposure was quite unfortunate, just when the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department was short on strength.

Dealing with a Sect that had a Martial Arts Grandmaster was not as simple as the last time when they exterminated the Feng Family.
