I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 205 Who is the Murderer

Half a month later, Han Zheng's cultivation had stabilized in the middle stage of the Xuan Gang Realm, and he was even close to approaching the late stage.

During the past half-month, Han Zheng had consumed elixirs as if eating meals, taking another one each time he digested one, sometimes even indulging in throwing a handful directly into his mouth.

Although his cultivation was advancing rapidly, the accumulation of the elixir's potency within his body became somewhat indigestible.

With the foundation of his cultivation, this was the first time Han Zheng had encountered such a situation.

As he stepped out of the house and just opened the door, Zhang Yan happened to be passing by and exclaimed with joy, "Mr. Han, have you come out of seclusion? Just recently, the Family Head of the Wen Family wanted to discuss with you about how to distribute those spiritual land and mineral resources."

After the destruction of the Yue Family, the entire situation in the Martial World of Smoke Wave Prefecture had been reshuffled; it seemed they had finally finished dividing up the Yue family completely.

Han Zheng nodded, "Send them a message, let them come over tomorrow."

The next day, Wen Jingyun and the others arrived early.

"Congratulations, Mr. Han, your cultivation has improved again."

Wen Jingyun greeted him with a beaming smile and bowed.

The Wen family had swallowed most of the resources of the Yue family, their power had skyrocketed several times, and naturally, they wore an air of triumph.

Beside him, Ji Tianhong groveled, "Mr. Han can be said to be the most brilliant and extraordinary individual I've seen in my lifetime. This cultivation isn't just advancing a thousand miles in a day, but clearly ten thousand miles!"

Han Zheng waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, if you keep flattering me, Smoke Wave Prefecture won't be able to contain me anymore. Let's discuss the important matters."

Regarding the distribution of the spiritual lands and minerals in Smoke Wave Prefecture, Han Zheng had already made plans, which were initially prepared for seven families but now only five remained.

And there was no room for negotiation; virtually, it was whatever Han Zheng said, they would do.

After finishing, Han Zheng glanced at the people and said in a deep voice, "With that arrangement, do you all agree?"

Wen Jingyun and the others naturally wouldn't oppose and hurriedly said, "We will follow Mr. Han's decision."

Ji Tianhong even directly said, "The Xuanyuan Cave being able to keep these spiritual land and minerals is all thanks to Mr. Han's grace, where would we have the face to object?"

His sycophantic manner even made Wen Jingyun and others somewhat unable to bear watching.

Ji Tianhong was truly embarrassing them.

Yuwen Kang also nodded expressionlessly.

Now that the momentum was with Han Zheng, what right did he have to object?

"Then it's settled like this. Family Head Wen, Sect Master Tuoba, Gang Leader Chen, stay behind."

Ji Tianhong looked enviously at Wen Jingyun and the other two.

Mr. Han personally keeping them, perhaps there was some good opportunity to discuss with them.

Regrettably, he hadn't been able to ally himself earlier, and now retaining his own foundation would be good enough.

Yuwen Kang, however, had no regrets and directly bowed and took his leave.

After keeping the three of them behind, Han Zheng called for Pei Xiuyuan, Zhang Yan, and several other Xuanjia Guards who first pledged their allegiance to him and had senior qualifications in the Demon Cleansing Bureau of Smoke Wave Prefecture.

Wen Jingyun and Pei Xiuyuan looked at each other, puzzled as to why Han Zheng had called both parties together.

Han Zheng, sitting in the main seat, gently tapped the table and asked, "Gentlemen, do you know what my initial purpose was when I came to the Demon Cleansing Bureau of Smoke Wave Prefecture?"

Wen Jingyun and the others were stunned.

Wasn't it to deal with us, the powers of the Martial World?

But Pei Xiuyuan suddenly realized, "Was it for the death of Officer Liao?"

Han Zheng nodded, "Exactly, Officer Liao's death was mysterious and unexplained, which greatly angered the headquarters in Kai Ping Prefecture, so they specifically sent me here to Smoke Wave Prefecture to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Earlier, I had already ascertained that Officer Liao's death wasn't an accident but a result of someone's scheme behind the scenes.

This person knew Officer Liao very well, initially inciting the Tao Turtle to strike at Officer Liao, and later even drew Li Tianbao of the Red Flag Thieves.

Neither of these could kill Officer Liao, and finally, it is unknown who made the move that ended Officer Liao's life.

At this point, the clues have been cut off here, I called you all to see if you have any thoughts."

"Mr. Pei, you and Mr. Liao had the most contact.

Mr. Wen, your family stands with the forces of the Martial World. Think carefully, within and outside of Smoke Wave Prefecture, who would have a motive to kill Mr. Liao?"

Pei Xiuyuan thought carefully and then bitterly laughed, "If we were to talk about who has the biggest suspicion, it seems I would be the top suspect.

When Mr. Liao first arrived, I did not accept him and provoked him a few times. After being taught a lesson, I did quiet down.

Honestly, even until before Mr. Liao died, I still harbored some resentment towards him, and I even somewhat reveled in his demise."

Seeing Zhang Yan and the others looking towards him, Pei Xiuyuan quickly added, "But I truly had no intention to harm Mr. Liao.

I, Pei, might be narrow-minded and always consider my own interests, but as a member of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, how could I possibly commit the act of killing a colleague?

Moreover, you all know Mr. Liao's strength; I was definitely no match for him."

Han Zheng glanced at Pei Xiuyuan and said indifferently, "It wasn't you, Mr. Pei. I had suspected you before, but ultimately, I eliminated you from suspicion.

If I truly suspected you, I wouldn't have invited you here today."

Pei Xiuyuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Han."

But then, Pei Xiuyuan curiously asked, "Then why did you eliminate my suspicion?

Honestly, looking at it now, even I feel that I am the biggest suspect."

"Because you acted too foolishly, always jumping up and down, as if you were afraid others wouldn't know you want to take charge of the Demon Cleansing Bureau in Smoke Wave Prefecture.

The real culprit is meticulous, every move deliberate; such deeds are definitely not within your capabilities."

Han Zheng gave Pei Xiuyuan a glance, an expression demanding he speak the truth.

Pei Xiuyuan sat down awkwardly.

Now that he thought about it, his past behavior had indeed been foolish.

Tuoba Feng said solemnly, "I've crossed hands with Mr. Liao before. Mr. Liao's strength was extraordinary, even if he were seriously injured, I believe it would be difficult to kill him.

The person who moved against him must be incredibly strong, at least someone in the Late Stage of the Xuan Gang Realm.

But the problem is, none of these Martial World forces, regardless of which family, have a compelling reason to desperately confront Mr. Liao."

Wen Jingyun also nodded, "What Sect Master Tuoba said is right. Mr. Liao had conflicts with us over those spirit fields and mines.

But that conflict was also within a controllable range. Frankly speaking, although Mr. Liao was strong, he posed no threat to us because he was too straightforward in his dealings.

Nowhere near the threat you posed, Mr. Han, when you manipulated Chen Jiuzhen to obliterate the Lishan Sect. After that, Yue Qing immediately contacted us to discuss how to deal with you. Even the Yuwen Family was unusually furious.

But when Mr. Liao first had conflicts with us, no one took it seriously enough to consider a meeting to strategize.

So, I really can't think of who among these Martial World forces would kill Mr. Liao.

The Yue Family have always been flamboyant and arrogant in their actions over the years.

But neither Yue Qing nor Yue Tiande are fools.

They know the consequences of killing a Demon Sweeping Captain.

Thus, unless Mr. Liao posed a threat to their entire family, logically, they should not have resorted to murder."

Chen Jiuzhen added from beside him, "Indeed, Mr. Han, after you led us, the Black Water Gang, to crush the Lishan Sect, it actually hit the core of the entire alliance.

But even so, the Yue Family did not think of killing you first; instead, they gathered forces to obliterate my Black Water Gang first.

What Mr. Liao did back then was nothing compared to what you have done."

After listening to everyone, Han Zheng folded his hands on the table, propping up his head, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "I believe there are no unprovoked affections or hatreds in this world.

Mr. Liao must have done something that made someone feel a threat of life and death to decide to kill him.

But the things I have done since I took charge of Smoke Wave Prefecture have been much more excessive than what Mr. Liao did, yet no one has tried to kill me.

So, what exactly did Mr. Liao do to bring such a deadly disaster upon himself?"
