I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 366 Fang Henge
The other party suddenly greeted him, catching Han Zheng by surprise.
He didn't seem to recognize the other party.
The young Demon Sweeping Captain opposite him seemed excited, walking over with a smile and saying, "After parting that day, I didn't expect to meet again today.
I have yet to thank you, Brother Han, for saving my life last time, and I didn't expect you would help us kill a Great Demon today.
Brother Han, your Cultivation has broken through after several months.
Killing a Great Demon in the Xuan Gang Realm with a single strike, Brother Han, you must have stepped into the Dan Sea Realm?
Being so young and entering the Dan Sea Realm, even within the entire Demon Cleansing Bureau, Brother Han, you are considered a rare and talented genius."
The other party chattered on, and Han Zheng finally realized who he was.
After he had left Thousand Buddha Village, he had casually saved a few Xuanjia Guards; it seemed the person was a subordinate of the Patrol Envoy from the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
This young man in front of him was one of those with a more significant identity, named Chu Xinghe.
It had been so long since that incident, Han Zheng only remembered that he had to hand over Wu Yunfei's criminal evidence to the Patrol Envoy, almost forgetting about Chu Xinghe.
After a slight pause, Han Zheng responded with a smile and a hand-clasped greeting, "We are both colleagues in the Demon Cleansing Bureau, it's right to lend a hand. You don't need to be polite, Brother Chu. Are you also here to deliver messages locally this time?"
Chu Xinghe showed an awkward smile and said, "Brother Han, I must confess, I hid my identity last time.
Although I am from the Capital Demon Suppression Department, I am not just a message-carrying Xuanjia Guard, but belong to the Patrol Guard under Mr. Fang Henge, the seventh Patrol Envoy.
Last time, we were investigating some matters on West River Road, and it was not appropriate to reveal our identities. I hope Brother Han understands."
Chu Xinghe wasn't very cunning, he was an honest man.
Though his strength wasn't weak, having reached the Xuan Gang Realm, his experience in the Martial World was evidently scarce, and he wasn't thick-skinned, even appearing somewhat naive at this moment.
Han Zheng laughed and replied, "No worries, I understand a Patrol Envoy's identity is special, and it's wise to keep it secret when abroad.
So, Brother Chu, have you finished your official duties on West River Road?"
Chu Xinghe nodded and said, "The matters on West River Road are finished, next we are scheduled to perform routine inspections in your Southern Mountain.
Most of the brothers and I are from the headquarters of the Capital Demon Suppression Department. Normally, we cultivate within the Department and rarely go out to undertake missions.
So, Mr. Fang also wants us to go out and gain some experience in demon hunting.
Although we serve under Mr. Fang as Patrol Guards, we can't just do inspections our whole lives; we also need to undertake missions."
Han Zheng glanced at a few young Demon Sweeping Captains behind Chu Xinghe, most of whom hadn't reached thirty yet.
Such an age would also be considered part of the promising young generation within the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department.
Even Cui Zeyuan who always aimed high had also built his reputation through numerous missions.
And yet here they were, seemingly fresh out of training, indicating how good the treatment in the Capital Demon Suppression Department must be.
"To think that young Fang Henge has made it to the position of Patrol Envoy, wow, times have really changed.
Kid, later you can hand Wu Yunfei's criminal evidence to Fang Henge. He detests evil, and with a strong background, he's fearless even if Wu Yunfei has connections in the headquarters of the Demon Cleansing Bureau."
Yan Xuankong suddenly made a remark.
"Are you familiar with that Fang Henge Patrol Envoy?"
Yan Xuankong replied, "Not very, but I had some interactions when I went to the Capital Headquarters to exchange Merit for further training.
Sixty years ago, he was a promising talent of the young generation in the Capital Demon Suppression Department, and a direct disciple of a reclusive great master of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
That guy was a hot-headed youth, daring to take on anyone, with a character you could call sharp and visible."
At that time, I guessed that he would definitely join the Patrol Department in the future instead of garrisoning locally, and now it seems I was right indeed.
Sixty years have passed, and given Fang Henge's strength, he must have reached the Solidifying Pill stage by now, and perhaps even progressed further.
"You previously mentioned that the position of the Patrol Envoy is above the Garrison Commander, and Garrison Commanders are Great Grandmasters of the Yang God Realm, so how can a Patrol Envoy who hasn't reached the Yang God Realm hold the position?"
Yan Xuankong replied irritably, "Do you think a Great Grandmaster of the Yang God Realm is as common as cabbage? You can't just find a few wherever you like.
Great Zhou needs Yang God Realm Garrison Commanders to garrison all nineteen roads, and the core forces at Demon Suppression Pass are also of the Yang God Realm.
Furthermore, the headquarters in the Capital City has several guard units, like the Divine Guard, and their commanders are also of the Yang God Realm.
The presence of Yang God Realm Garrison Commanders within the Demon Cleansing Bureau is always scarce, and the higher-ups almost never waste Garrison Commanders on supervising their own people.
When I say the position of Patrol Envoy is above the Garrison Commander, I mean only nominally higher.
Once a Patrol Envoy enters the Yang God Realm, he will no longer be eligible for the role and will definitely be appointed elsewhere.
Besides, even if Fang Henge is extremely talented, it's impossible for him to step into the Yang God Realm within just sixty years."
At that moment, a large black ship approached the group, and Chu Xinghe hurriedly said, "This is Mr. Fang's ship. Brother Han, it seems something must have happened to your ships? It's just as well; join us on this vessel. We are also heading to Southern Mountain."
Han Zheng happened to have no chance to initiate contact with Fang Henge, but upon hearing Chu Xinghe's invitation, he directly accepted.
"Thank you, Brother Chu. This will save us some effort."
As the black ship approached, Han Zheng followed Chu Xinghe and others aboard.
There were about a hundred Xuanjia Guards on the ship. These guards, unlike the greenhorns like Chu Xinghe, whether from the Innate Realm or the Xuan Gang Realm, all exuded a fierce evil Qi, clearly indicating they were battle-hardened elites.
A middle-aged man around forty, with a scholarly and upright appearance, dressed in dark golden Qilin armor, came over and said,
"I sent you to kill Demons to hone your actual combat skills. Who told you to surround and kill so many at once?
You're all too reckless, not knowing your own limits. What if something happened to you? How would I explain it when we return?"
Chu Xinghe hastily replied, "Mr. Fang, please calm down. We saw those Demons gathered together and decided to eliminate them all at once. We didn't expect their combat power to soar so drastically after they went berserk.
By the way, this is Han Zheng from Smoke Wave Prefecture in Southern Mountain, the Demon Sweeping Captain who saved my life last time.
Since we're heading to Southern Mountain, we thought we'd bring Brother Han along too."
Han Zheng bowed to Fang Henge, "I've met Mr. Fang."
Su Wuming also bowed.
Fang Henge scanned them both, frowning slightly, "Such strong Qi Blood Power! You must have entered the Dan Sea Realm by now, right? Still a Demon Sweeping Captain in the Dan Sea Realm?"
Han Zheng smiled and replied, "Mr. Fang, you have a keen eye. I've just made a breakthrough, but I haven't yet gone to the headquarters in Southern Mountain to exchange for my Xuan Armor and promote my rank, so strictly speaking, I am still a Demon Sweeping Captain."
"Your Southern Mountain really does produce unparalleled talents. Chen Zhenfu was an extraordinary figure from the start, and young friend Han, being so young and already stepping into the Dan Sea Realm, even within the entire Great Zhou's Demon Cleansing Bureau, you are a rare find."
Fang Henge remarked admiringly.
At that moment, Yan Xuankong voiced his dissatisfaction in Han Zheng's mind, "What does this kid mean? Why mention only Chen Baxian and not me? Am I not talented? Am I not extraordinary?"
Han Zheng ignored Yan Xuankong and modestly said, "Mr. Fang, you flatter me too much. I dare not compare myself to Garrison Commander Chen."
"Right, I also need to thank you for saving Chu Xinghe's life last time. His identity is special, and if something had happened to him outside, it would have been difficult to explain once I returned to the Capital City."
Fang Henge spoke frankly, not concealing Chu Xinghe's identity.
He believed that as long as Han Zheng wasn't blind, he would naturally realize that Chu Xinghe was no ordinary Xuanjia Guard.
"Mr. Fang, you're too kind. As fellow Xuanjia Guards of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, it was only right for me to help a colleague in need."
Fang Henge scrutinized Han Zheng carefully, his mouth curling into a smile that was not quite a smile.
"I'm just about to conduct an inspection in Southern Mountain. Since you are from Southern Mountain, could you perhaps tell me more about the situation there?"
