I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

Chen Baxian stood at the highest point of a beacon tower in the Demon Suppression Pass, standing with his hands behind his back, facing the direction of the Country of Demons with his eyes closed.

Unlike Zhuge Qingshan, who was rarely seen during his tenure as the General Guardian, Chen Baxian spent most of his time stationed here after becoming the General Guardian.

The martial artists of the Demon Suppression Pass who ventured into the Country of Demons to sweep through it felt an inexplicable peace of mind when they saw Chen Baxian always guarding this place.

This is also the reason why Chen Baxian's prestige was established so quickly.

Just then, Gongyang Qi, the Demon Hunting Guard Commander under Chen Baxian, ascended the beacon tower and said in a deep voice, "Sir, someone from the Capital City has arrived. I'm afraid they're not here with good intentions."

After Chen Baxian became the General Guardian, no new Dharma Manifestation Realm martial artist took over the Eighth Pass; it was managed by Gongyang Qi and other Demon Hunting Guard Commanders on their own.

Gongyang Qi had initially been somewhat distrustful and resistant to Chen Baxian, but after enduring battle after battle, he had now become a die-hard loyalist, utterly devoted to him.

"Not with good intentions? The Demon Suppression Pass is the last line of defense for the Human Clan. It's one thing for Ji Yuanfang to stir things up in the Capital City, but daring to come to the Demon Suppression Pass to stir things up is courting death!"

A coldness flashed in Chen Baxian's eyes as he said in a grave tone, "Summon the Twelve Passes Guardians and the Demon Hunting Guard Commanders to gather and see what exactly they want to do."

Outside the Demon Suppression Pass, a contingent of the Imperial Family's personal guards, the Yulin Guards, escorted a carriage to the base of the Demon Suppression Pass.

Strangely, in addition to the Yulin Guards, there were over twenty Taoists accompanying them.

Furthermore, these Taoists were extremely powerful, all having cultivation of the Yang God Realm.

At this moment, a eunuch with a pale face and no beard stepped forward and shrieked, "The acting General Guardian of the Demon Suppression Pass, come forth to receive the decree!"

From the Demon Suppression Pass, powerful figures descended from the sky one after another, landing with muffled thumps.

This momentum instantly made the eunuch's face change, revealing a hint of anger.

He was an angel!

These rough fellows from the Demon Suppression Pass had no manners, making no offer to let him in for tea before announcing the decree, and instead setting such an imposing scene right at the pass.

Chen Baxian said expressionlessly, "What decree does the Capital have?"

The eunuch was just about to accuse Chen Baxian of audacity for such an attitude upon seeing the imperial decree.

But under Chen Baxian's aura, he forcibly swallowed his reprimand, merely snorting.

"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:

Since the sacrifice of Zhuge Qingshan, the former General Guardian, the Demon Suppression Pass has been without a Heavenly Position strongman guarding it, which may lead to changes.

Therefore, a State Preceptor is dispatched to garrison the Demon Suppression Pass, to prevent a Demon Clan invasion, and hopes that the Demon Suppression Pass will cooperate."

After reading the decree, Chen Baxian's expression remained unchanged, but the other Twelve Passes Guardians and Demon Hunting Guard Commanders present were visibly angry.

What was the Capital thinking? Did they even understand the rules?

Did they really think sending any cat or dog to be the General Guardian was a joke?

Even if that so-called State Preceptor was indeed a Heavenly Position, he had no qualification to command them at the Demon Suppression Pass!

The Demon Suppression Pass doesn't solely depend on strength but also on achievements.

Zhuge Qingshan became the General Guardian because he turned the tide when he was younger, blocking the Demon Clan army at the critical moment, which is how he became the General Guardian.

Chen Baxian became the General Guardian because he took the initiative to strike, changing the mindset of the Demon Suppression Pass's people, and even at the risk of confronting the Demon Saint, infiltrated the Moon Howling Demon Saint's cave, assisting Zhuge Qingshan in slaying the Moon Howling Demon Saint, an achievement admired by everyone.

Now the Capital just issues a decree, expecting someone to become the General Guardian, understandably, the sentiment was negative.

"Cooperate? If we don't cooperate, what can you do?"

One guardian said sarcastically.

The Fifth Pass Guardian Pu Yang Yuan Zheng also sneered, "For so many years, the position of General Guardian of the Demon Suppression Pass has been earned by strength. The palpable disregard by the Capital City, sending anyone over like this to be the General Guardian, what were those people in the Imperial Palace thinking?"

Other guardians present also joined in with the sarcasm.

Chen Baxian waved his hand to stop them, then said in a grave tone, "State Preceptor? I've never heard before that our Great Zhou has any State Preceptor."

"Previous lack doesn't mean there is none now."

The beaded curtain on the carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged Taoist, holding a horsetail whisk, stepped out.

The middle-aged Taoist had a lean and fairy-like appearance, wearing a luxurious Star Daoist Robe, and a Purple Jade Daoist Crown on his head. With a flick of his horsetail whisk, a mysterious and powerful aura emanated from him.

"I am the Temple Master of the Heavenly Net Cave Temple, Dao name Jiu Xiao.

The Regent King, out of concern for the Demon Suppression Pass lacking a Heavenly Position expert to guard it, fearing an invasion by the Demon Clan, especially requested that I be granted the position of State Preceptor to come and take charge of the Demon Suppression Pass."

Upon sensing the mysterious and powerful aura emanating from Jiu Xiao, everyone present had their expressions change.

They had assumed the intruders were just some senseless folks from the Capital; unexpectedly, it turned out to be a seasoned Heavenly Position strongman!

The Daoist number one great sect in the Martial World, the Temple Master of the Heavenly Net Cave Temple, Jiu Xiao!

This person had stepped into the Heavenly Position decades ago, and in both strength and seniority, he overwhelmed everyone present.

However, the Martial World and the court had always been antagonistic, and no one expected Ji Yuanfang to be able to enlist Jiu Xiao himself.

Chen Baxian said calmly, "So it's you, the Real Master Jiu Xiao of the Heavenly Net Cave Temple.

As a senior of the Taoist school, instead of enlightening your Dao within the Heavenly Net Cave Temple, why bother to wade into this mortal world of turmoil?"

"There's merit in the Dao, and beauty in the mortal world; this poor Daoist merely follows the mandate of Heaven."

Jiu Xiao said gently, "Guardian Chen, if there are no other matters, please prepare to hand over the affairs of the Demon Suppression Pass."

"Who consented to your taking charge?"

With a flick of Chen Baxian's finger, the decree in the eunuch's hand was instantly shattered.

"By mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees.

Ji Yuanfang isn't the Emperor yet; Your Majesty is still gravely ill and in a coma. Who gave him the right, who gave him the audacity to issue an imperial decree?"

Chen Baxian pointed to the Demon Suppression Pass behind him and said coldly, "The Demon Suppression Pass is not a place for him to wield power wantonly, and he has no qualifications to interfere here!"

Jiu Xiao's eyes narrowed, revealing a cold glint.

"It seems Guardian Chen intends to defy the decree—so don't blame me for taking action."

As he finished speaking, Jiu Xiao took a step forward, formed a Dao Seal with his hand, and in an instant, Yin and Yang reversed, the world flipped, and endless power twisted around, tearing and annihilating the origin power within, attempting to pull Chen Baxian into the void!

Reverse Yin Yang Heaven Net Seal!

Jiu Xiao had promised Ji Yuanfang that he would settle the Demon Suppression Pass, and he would surely fulfill it.

If it could be done without fighting, it would be best, but since Chen Baxian decided to stand firm, he wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless.

Once a Heavenly Position expert takes action, they manipulate the origin directly, shaking the heavens.

This strike, if ordinary Dharma Manifestation Realm martial artists were slightly weaker, would be torn apart by this reversal of origin power!

But Chen Baxian threw out a punch, the astonishingly powerful fist intent was unstoppable, even punching a hole through the heavens.

Jiu Xiao exclaimed softly, surprised that Chen Baxian was this strong.

With a flick of his horsetail whisk, it extended a thousand zhang in an instant, transforming into a silver giant dragon filled with endless sharpness, roaring and crashing towards Chen Baxian.

The ultimate power gathered around Chen Baxian, gathering heaven and earth primordial qi and origin power into his punch.

His fist shattered mountains and rivers, unstoppable!

The silver dragon shattered inch by inch, causing a fierce storm of power to manifest in the surrounding heavens.

Back then, Chen Baxian was one who dared to confront the Moon Howling Demon Saint directly, not an ordinary Dharma Manifestation.

After the battle at the Moon-picking Cave, Chen Baxian reaped significant rewards, inheriting all that Zhuge Qingshan left behind.

At this moment, although Chen Baxian hadn't stepped into the Heavenly Position, he already had the qualifications to challenge a Heavenly Position expert.

Having failed to take down Chen Baxian with two moves, Jiu Xiao's expression grew serious.

This Chen Baxian seemed different from normal Dharma Manifestation Realm martial artists.

No wonder Ji Yuanfang spared no expense just to have him deal with Chen Baxian at the Demon Suppression Pass.

Upon truly exchanging blows, Jiu Xiao realized just how strong Chen Baxian was.
