Chapter 0006 – If I Become a Heavenly Demon – Absolute Return

He could have killed me without hesitation, just like he did back then, when he killed his brother.

“Looks like I’ll just have to drink more poisonous wine to paralyze myself.” I said with a bitter smile.

My father looked at me with complicated eyes.

……

That night, I was alone, practicing the secret technique of “Extension of Qi” that my father had taught me.

“That was so much fun!”

I have been able to skillfully incorporate my true qi into the wind and extend it over great distances.

With my true qi, I traveled through the darkness, exploring everything around me.

“It’s a tree with a rock under it ……”

I could even feel a small bug that was crawling on the ground.

I extended my true qi farther and farther, and as I continued to practice, the speed of my true qi, too, grew faster and faster.

Suddenly, my true qi, touched something.

“What’s that?”

Puzzled in my mind, I withdrew my true qi and then released it again.

The strange feeling, however, disappeared.

I opened my eyes and looked in that direction, but couldn’t see anything.

“Could it be an illusion?”

Just then, I realized that my father was looking at me.

“You’re still awake?” I asked.

“What are you looking at?”

“I just felt something over there, but now it’s gone again.”

My father looked at me in surprise, then turned his back on me.

“Go to sleep.”

“Oh.”

I lay across from my father, my mind filled with doubt.

“What the hell was that?”

Judging by his father’s reaction, he seems to know something ……

“!!!”

Suddenly, I understood.

“It’s Uncle Fai!”

What I just felt was the aura of my father’s personal guard, Fai!

When I tried to double-check, he’d already ducked out of the way.

I was thrilled in my mind.

Just two days ago, I couldn’t detect his presence, and now, I can actually feel his aura!

Although he didn’t hide it on purpose, it was a huge step up for me.

If I can continue to cultivate and release dozens of true qi at the same time like my father, then any concealment techniques will be ineffective against me.

Instead of having to go through the trouble of finding my targets, I will be able to sense their presence directly.

Maybe it was because I had been drinking, but that night I tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep.

During those years of searching for retrospective Dhamma materials, whenever I felt tired and desperate, I would look up at the starry sky, and those twinkling stars accompanied me through countless lonely nights.

And now, those stars, still shining in the night sky, as if they were telling the unchanging truth of the ages.

I knew that my father was still awake, too.

Perhaps, he was thinking the same thing.

“Father, which demonic father do you trust the most?” I asked.

“What are you asking for?”

The day the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect was exterminated, Hua Wuji attacked the Heavenly Demon Temple.

The Heavenly Demon Hall, a forbidden place of the Heavenly Demon God Sect, where there were threefold formations, sixfold organs, and countless experts guarding it.

Not only that, the Eight Devil Sovereigns also led their respective forces and stationed themselves around the Heavenly Demon Hall, arching over the Heavenly Demon’s safety.

In the north, there was the North Heavenly Sword Family led by the One Flower Sword Venerable, and they were all experts in using swords, their swordsmanship was severe and murderous.

In the south, it was the Southern Blade Sect led by the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, and they were all experts in using blades, with overbearing, vicious and brutal blade techniques.

In the east, it was the East Fist Sect under the command of the Undefeated Fist Demon, all of them were boxing experts with fierce and unstoppable punches.

In the west, it was the Western Illusion City under the command of the Dementor Demons, all of whom were masters of illusion, skilled in all kinds of illusions and curses that were bizarre and unpredictable.

To the northeast, are the followers of the extremely evil Laughing Devil, the Faceless Guests, all of them killers, cold and ruthless, coming and going without a trace.

To the southeast, are the followers of the Great Drunken Devil, the Drinkers, who are drunkards, addicted to alcohol and drunkenness.

To the southwest, were the followers of the Poison King, the Tooths, who were all poisoners, skilled in all kinds of poisons and antidotes that killed people invisibly.

To the northwest, are the followers of the Devil Buddha, the Mad Monks, who are all madmen, fanatical and paranoid, with strong beliefs.

I originally thought that it was the enemy that had breached the Heavenly Devil Temple from the outside.

But then I realized that the external defenses of the Heavenly Devil Temple were not breached at all that night.

In other words, it must be one of the Eight Demon Venerables who had released the Hua Martial Technique into the Heavenly Demon Hall.

Maybe it’s one person, maybe it’s a couple.

But whoever it was, it didn’t matter anymore.

Because, in my heart, they are all traitors!

After their father’s death, they didn’t choose to take revenge, but instead chose to seal the mountain and close the door to live.

None of them, stood up and avenged their father’s death!

If one of them, among them, would have stepped forward, I wouldn’t have been so chilled.

I know that they are afraid of Hua Wuji, his power, and his revenge.

I understand them, they are human and they have their own fears.

So, I hope, too, that they will understand me.

If one day I use them, or even treat them as outcasts, I hope, too, that they will understand me.

That, that’s only fair, isn’t it?

“If I become the Sect Master, I will definitely fix the Eight Devil Sovereigns and make them behave.” I looked at my father and said.

“What did you say?!”

Father sat up violently, a powerful aura, erupted from him, the grass and trees around him, were all bent over.

I sat up in a hurry too and looked at my father.

“Why?” Father asked, his tone stern.

Because, they are more unreliable than you think.

You are able to perceive a tiger a hundred feet away, but you are unable to see into the heart of the person in front of you.

I couldn’t say that, of course, so I said it differently.

“Relying on your authority, they have acted recklessly within the Sect; not only are they themselves corrupt, but their disciples, too, follow them in their fishiness and oppression of the good and the good.”

As a matter of fact, during that time, the Eight Devils did cause a lot of trouble.

“It’s time to, well, straighten out the culture within the Church.”

Father was silent, not sure what he was thinking.

I know, and he knows it in his heart, that the problem of the Eight Devils has reached a point where it has to be solved.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let me criticize them.

“Don’t be overly ambitious, and be careful of propping yourself up.” Father warned.

“Haha, I’m still young, the road is still long, I’ll walk slowly and eat slowly.”

I deliberately used the word “over-ambitious” to imply to my father that I had no intention of replacing him immediately.

I could sense that what was in my father’s mind was the same as mine.

He also wanted to fix the Eight Devil Sovereigns, he just hadn’t found the right opportunity yet.

“Don’t worry, Father, I know them, like the back of my hand.”

In order to obtain the Secret Demon Soul, after I returned to the Heavenly Demon God Sect, I lurked within the sect for a long time.

I know each of their pasts and I know each of their futures.

“I’ll make them, pay.”

The night is deep and starry, and my thoughts, like the stars in the sky, are wandering.
