The members of the Demon Extermination Alliance's branch assessed Yang Cheng's strength as approaching the Daoist realm of a martial artist, which is already a high evaluation.
Those who reach the Xuanmen realm are already experts who have just begun to understand the meaning of martial arts, while those who enter the Dao realm have formally reached the level of entering the Dao through martial arts.
General Gao Yuanlong of the Liang Kingdom, who dared to openly kill Jin Ding Zhenren, was a being of this level.
As for the Celestial Realm, it is the ultimate martial arts realm. It is about using martial force to break through the barrier between heaven and man, merging the physical body into the world, and freely manipulating the power of heaven and earth. This is no different from those powerful cultivators whose words become law.
When Wu Tianqing heard his subordinate give Yang Cheng such an evaluation, he was slightly taken aback.
"This person's strength is actually this great?"
The subordinate nodded and said, "The four-eyed white ape is a different species, and its strength will naturally be even stronger after it transforms into human form and cultivates."
Moreover, Master Yuyang had some achievements recorded within our Demon Extermination Alliance. Yang Cheng's ability to kill him demonstrates that his strength was definitely not low.
Wu Tianqing stroked his chin and said, "Is this Yang Cheng's first time in Anqing Prefecture?"
"It should be, and it's even possible that this is his first time visiting Liang."
I checked his ghostwriting records, and he had no previous achievements in Liang.
Furthermore, there is no record of this name within the Demon Extermination Alliance.
Wu Tianqing's face revealed a half-smile: "That makes things easier. Go and call Yang Cheng here. Be polite to him."
A moment later, Yang Cheng was brought to Wu Tianqing's main hall. Wu Tianqing stood up and walked up to Yang Cheng with a big laugh, taking his hand and saying, "Brother Yang, how is Elder Zuo?"
When I first joined the Demon Extermination Alliance, it was Elder Zuo who mentored me, imparting a lot of experience to me and saving me several times. He could be considered my half-master.
Now that Elder Zuo thinks so highly of you, in terms of seniority, we can even be considered half-brothers in the same martial arts school.
Wu Tianqing was very enthusiastic and generous.
If Yang Cheng hadn't heard what Han Yu said before, he would have even thought that Han Yu was just like that, since he couldn't see anything wrong or flawed.

"You're too kind, Master. Old Master Zuo is doing well; he's content just guarding Qingyuan Prefecture."
Actually, I only spent a few days with Elder Zuo. It was thanks to Elder Zuo's care that I brought his letter to visit the leader.
As he spoke, Yang Cheng subtly withdrew his hand.
After pulling Yang Cheng to sit down, Wu Tianqing asked, "Brother Yang, are you planning to develop your career in the capital?"
Yang Cheng nodded and said, "I have only recently joined the Demon Extermination Alliance, but I know that the Demon Extermination Alliance branch in the capital is the largest, so naturally I want to develop here."
Wu Tianqing said, "Brother Yang is right to think that way. In the entire Liang Kingdom, Anqing Prefecture, the capital, is naturally the largest prefecture and has the most opportunities."
Besides, since Master Zuo asked me to take care of you, as your senior brother, I naturally have to give you a gift.
You've probably heard of the Protector of the State of Liang, Master Jin Ding. He holds a high position and wields immense power within the state.
Now there's a task personally issued by the Golden Cauldron Immortal that my Demon Extermination Alliance needs to complete, but I haven't had time to find someone to do it yet.
Normally, I would reserve such a "good job" for my own people, but since you are someone that Master Zuo values, you are naturally also my junior brother.
So I'll consider this mission a small gift to you as a token of our meeting!
Wu Tianqing's tone was very generous and magnanimous, as if he had given Yang Cheng something extraordinary.
Yang Cheng lowered his head for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I thank you, Master."
Wu Tianqing shook his head and said, "Hey, calling me 'Sect Leader' sounds too formal. Just call me Senior Brother."
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "The leader is the leader. If the other assistants heard this, they would think that you are showing favoritism."
Wu Tianqing laughed and said, "Alright, call me whatever you want. I'll give you the information about this mission later."
After Yang Cheng left, Wu Tianqing watched Yang Cheng's departing figure, and the smile on his face vanished in an instant. He shook his head regretfully.
"He at least knows how to behave properly, unlike that stubborn old man. What a pity."
Wu Tianqing's confidant asked in surprise, "Master, you sent Yang Cheng to the Corpse-Nourishing Ground. Can he really obtain the Corpse King's inner core?"
Wu Tianqing sneered, "Even if I went there, I wouldn't be 100% sure of getting it. How could he possibly get it?"
If I don't take action now, Jin Ding Zhenren is being so aggressive, and that evil Taoist priest will hold a grudge against me. This Yang Cheng is my way of giving them an explanation.
"Go and summon the people sent by Master Jin Ding."
A moment later, two Taoist priests in black entered, both with arrogant expressions.
One of the taller Taoist priests said calmly, "Master Wu, don't blame us fellow disciples for urging you so hard. It's just that the Grand Preceptor is already somewhat dissatisfied."
The Imperial Preceptor has been more than lenient with your Demon Extermination Alliance. Look around the capital, where are there any other cultivation forces? Only your Demon Extermination Alliance.
And what did you do? We asked you to get the Corpse King's inner core, but you kept dragging your feet.
What? Your Demon Extermination Alliance has tens of thousands of ghostwriters, and you can't even find one who can work for the Grand Preceptor?
"It's still you, Wu Tianqing, who's unwilling to go look!"
