I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 37? I'll wait until I've practiced it!

The matter involves the Heart Fiend Sect, and the death of Blood Raven is no small matter. The case directly alarmed the high-ranking members of the Martial Arts Association of Linjiang City, who personally intervened to inquire about the details, especially the whereabouts of the Divine Sword Jade Book.

He Zhongyang insisted that Ye Qingzhou had hidden the items and demanded that he be interrogated thoroughly.

Xu Yunxi naturally defended Ye Qingzhou, retorting at the meeting: "He Zhongyang, what makes you so sure that the Divine Sword Jade Scroll was taken away by Blood Raven? There were quite a few members of the Heart Fiend Clan present at the time. Or is someone secretly colluding with the Heart Fiend Clan? Otherwise, how could the perimeter of the secret realm be infiltrated so silently?"

"Xu Yunxi, don't make false accusations! I'll sue you for defamation! She's defaming me!"

"That's enough, this matter ends here."

Bai Yuanhu, the president of the Linjiang City Martial Arts Association, suddenly pressed down, and the aura of a master martial artist overwhelmed the entire scene, making the captains of the law enforcement team present unable to breathe, which temporarily stopped the argument.

Wherever there are people, there is a martial arts world. When Qi Shengtian brought back the treasure manual from the Mi Luo Cave, he first established the Shen Gang Dao. The martial arts families were founded by the first batch of Shen Gang Dao disciples who accepted the new martial arts.

Later, when the country began to value martial arts, the Martial Arts Association was established and gradually developed into the behemoth it is today.

However, because of this, the influence of martial arts families within the Martial Arts Association is deeply entrenched, and factions are growing stronger day by day.

To prevent martial arts families from becoming too powerful, the Dongji Kingdom, which is well-versed in the art of balance, naturally and consciously supports the rise of commoner martial artists. They even went so far as to spend a huge amount of resources on a martial arts rising star program, which was designed to find and train martial arts geniuses among the common people, thereby counterbalancing the power of martial arts families within the Martial Arts Association.

This is how He Zhongyang and the He family rose to power, and in recent years the two forces have been fighting each other more and more fiercely. Now, in the seven law enforcement teams in Linjiang City, the captains of four teams are all from the background of ordinary martial arts practitioners, which shows the official attitude.

Bai Yuanhu was pleased to see the two major factions below fighting and balancing each other.

But despite the fighting, things still need to be done.

"I've received intelligence that Ghost Sword Sorrow Duan Ming has arrived in our Linjiang City, presumably to pick up the Xin Sha Liu members who successfully broke through. Although Extreme Dao Heavenly Madness Zhang Xinwu has confirmed that he has abandoned the Xin Sha Liu and gone to Kunlun Cave Heaven to cultivate in seclusion, we cannot let our guard down. We cannot allow these lawless martial arts fanatics to endanger the stability and harmony of our Eastern Pole Kingdom. Do you all understand?"

"clear!"

"Then let's get started!"

Soon, the assembled members of the Martial Arts Association blocked the Heart Fiend Clan members at the old dock cargo area in the north of the city.

To demonstrate his loyalty, He Zhongyang took the lead and was the first to attack: "Ghost Sword Sorrow, hand over the Divine Sword Jade Book, or you will die here today!"

After the loud shout, a surging torrent of heat swept across the dock.

Proficient in both fire and forest techniques, with a professional level of five, and having also mastered the fire-attribute martial art, the Beacon Smoke Battle Body, He Zhongyang's strength is beyond doubt.

With a single palm strike, flames shot skyward, a display of power that shook the surrounding area.

However, the raging fire was quickly cleaved in two by a crimson sword aura. Ghost Sword Sorrow's wild figure stood proudly amidst the crimson sea of ​​flames, uttering foul language: "Damn it, you bunch of bastards from the Martial Arts Association are getting more and more outrageous! You actually dare to use me to settle scores? What divine sword jade scroll? I've never even seen one!"

Ghost Sword Sorrow, a half-step master, possessed a surging Blood River Sword Qi that He Zhongyang could not withstand at all. As a result, he was quickly defeated, and the other captains rushed forward to provide support.

Despite being outnumbered, Ghost Sword Sorrow remained arrogant and unrestrained: "Didn't that bald tiger come? You bunch of trash think you can stop me?"

"Hmph, why would Chairman Bai need to personally deal with you?"

In order to capture Ghost Sword Sorrow, six of the seven law enforcement teams arrived, with a total of thirty-three professional martial artists. The two sides quickly engaged in fierce fighting, and the intense battle eventually razed the entire dock to the ground.

Gui Jianchou lived up to his reputation as a former rising star in martial arts, single-handedly leading the members of the Xin Sha Liu to break through the inescapable trap set by the Linjiang City Martial Arts Association.

This battle escalated so much that it made the news, sparking a huge uproar in the local community, with everyone eagerly discussing what had happened.

When Ye Qingzhou returned to school, her classmates were already discussing it.

"Holy crap, Ye, you skipped class all day! What were you doing yesterday?"

Huang Liwen's gossip instincts were burning fiercely: "You wouldn't have gone to Xu Xiaohua's house to propose marriage, would you? It seems she didn't come to school yesterday either."

Ye Qingzhou put away his schoolbag and sword pouch, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, and casually explained, "I killed someone the night before last and was taken back by the Martial Arts Association to assist in the investigation. I was only released last night."

After listening, Huang Liwen gave a thumbs up: "Your reason for asking for leave is really awesome."

At that moment, the homeroom teacher, Zhu Hanwen, appeared at the classroom door looking exhausted. He had clearly not slept well for the past two days, and his dark circles looked as if the Black Mountain Demon had drained his yang energy.

"Ye Qingzhou, come out here for a moment."

In the office, Zhu Hanwen looked at Ye Qingzhou with complicated emotions and instructed him, "What happened the day before yesterday needs to be kept secret. Although you acted in self-defense and deserved credit, you still killed someone with your own hands. I don't want any strange rumors to circulate about this at school."

Ye Qingzhou blinked and calmly replied, "Okay, no problem."

Zhu Hanwen couldn't help but think to himself, "No problem? You killed someone and then came to class like nothing happened. That's a huge problem!"

He never expected that there would be such a ruthless character as Ye Qingzhou in his class, who could cut off a person's head without changing his expression, and even have time to rummage through the corpse afterwards.

In contrast, those mischievous students who were always up to no good and only knew how to tug at the skirts of the girls in the class seemed so well-behaved and harmless to Zhu Hanwen.

Back in the classroom, Ye Qingzhou appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.

The experiences of the past few days have left even a seasoned veteran like him feeling a surge of emotion: "The Divine Sword Jade Scroll, this thing is extraordinary that both the Divine Gang Path and the Heart Fiend Stream are vying for it! Luckily, I didn't forget to loot the corpse after killing the person, otherwise I might have missed it."

As for handing it over, Ye Qingzhou never even considered it.

It wasn't that he was selfish, but this martial arts manual was originally his spoils of war. If he handed it over, at most he would get a banner, and he would probably never be able to look at this divine martial arts manual again in his life.

Even if I were to teach it, I would have to wait until I had practiced it myself.

If a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth.

At the same time, Ye Qingzhou also gained a clear understanding of his situation.

Currently, the martial arts families in Dongji Kingdom can be basically divided into two forces. One of them is the Shen Gang Dao behind the Martial Arts Association, which was founded by Qi Shengtian, the Nine Dragons Fist Saint, and is also the source of the martial arts families.

As for the other force in the martial arts world, it is the Heart Fiend School, founded by Zhang Xinwu, a peerless genius from a commoner background.

The Xin Sha Liu organization initially recruited ordinary martial artists, which led to its rapid growth. However, it later became increasingly erratic and lawless, which resulted in official suppression and even a ban.
