Chapter 0031 – You’re a Madman – Absolute Returns

The glass that had been brought to his lips stopped violently in mid-air.

To be his “water”? What does that mean?

“Senior, what do you mean by that?” Jian Wuji asked.

“It’s simple, I want you to be mine.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said bluntly.

These words from the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon caused Jian Wu Di to be surprised. It was known that the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon had always supported his elder brother, but now he suddenly wanted to turn to support himself? This was just too incredible.

“Mr. Li,” Blood Heavenly Blade Demon asked as he stared at Jian Wuji with a burning gaze, “Do you want to become a Heavenly Demon?”

“Think.” Jian Wuji replied without hesitation.

“Good! Then drink this cup of wine, and from now on, I will be your backing!” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said, handing the wine cup in his hand to Jian Wuji.

“But senior, haven’t you always supported my elder brother?” Jian Wuji asked.

“That’s because I didn’t know you were crazy.” The Blood Sky Blade Demon sneered, “Now, I’ve changed my mind.”

“I’m a dragon one moment and a lunatic the next, it’s really overwhelming.” Jian Wuji secretly said in his heart, “The real crazy person is you, right?”

Sword Wuji had killed Blood Heavenly Blade Demon’s brother, wasted his disciple, and captured his men, yet he still wanted to support himself? This old man, for his own ambitions, he really did not stop at anything!

“Senior, I have killed your brother.” Jian Wuji reminded.

“Blood is thicker than water? That’s bullshit to fool children!” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon sneered disdainfully, “All people are selfish, and their own interests, are the most important. A thorn in the palm of one’s hand is all the more heartbreaking than the death of a loved one.”

This old guy, he’s still horribly honest.

“What’s more, your elder brother and I, we are not formally allied, even if we are allied, we can still back out at any time.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon continued, “As long as you agree to my conditions, I guarantee that you will get everything you want.”

“If we can get senior’s support, it would naturally be like a tiger adding wings, just ……” said Jian Wuji after deliberately hesitating for a moment.

“Just what?” Blood Heavenly Blade Demon asked.

“It’s just that, the late generation doesn’t know if it’s possible to trust senior.” Jian Wuji said, “You can betray my elder brother now, and in the future, you may also betray me.”

“Betrayal? That’s something only the weak would do.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon laughed coldly, “I, the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, have acted honorably and openly throughout my life, and have never betrayed my word!”

“Then why did senior choose me?” Jian Wuji asked.

“Because, I like this crazy spirit of yours!” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon laughed out loud, “This reckless, courageous spirit of yours gives me hope!”

“So, you chose me because of my madness?” Jian Wuji asked.

“That’s right!” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said, “I want you to use your madness to clear all obstacles and help me ascend to the Heavenly Demon throne!”

If Jian Wuji was still the same young and reckless teenager he was back then, he might have really been mesmerized by these words of the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, thinking that he had really gained his appreciation.

However, today’s Jian Wuji was long since not that ignorant teenager back then. He knew deep down that what these old guys, were best at, was utilizing young people for their own benefit.

“Do you want to become a Heavenly Demon?”

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon had asked this question earlier to give Jian Wuji the illusion that he could become a Heavenly Demon as long as he had his support.

And he was asking the question now for the same purpose.

“What would you do if you became a Heavenly Demon?”

This question from the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon appeared to be inquiring about Jian Wuji’s ideal ambitions, but in reality, it was testing his bottom line to see if he would give up his principles for the sake of power.

“If I become a Heavenly Demon, I will definitely make the Demon Sect a fair and just organization, there will be no more Demons oppressing the weak and no more Yellow Springs Pavilion being subjected to outside interference.” Jian Wuji said righteously.

“Hahaha, I really wasn’t wrong about you!” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon laughed out loud, “You really do have the potential to become a Heavenly Demon!”

Blood Heavenly Blade Demon’s words appeared to be praising Jian Wuji, but in reality, they were mocking him for being naive and childish, not knowing the heights of heaven.

“Sir Li, you’re still too young to understand the game of power.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon secretly said in his heart, “Do you think that the position of Heavenly Demon is that good?”

Jian Wuji naturally understood what the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon had in mind, but he didn’t point it out, instead, he intentionally put on a naïve appearance and said, “Senior, you flatter me, there are still a lot of things that my junior has to learn from you.”

“Good, very good.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon nodded in satisfaction and said, “Don’t worry, as long as you follow me, I guarantee that you will become the greatest Heavenly Demon in the history of the Demon Sect!”

“Many thanks to senior for cultivating me!” Jian Wuji said respectfully.

“Alright, I still have things to do, so I’ll take my leave.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said, standing up and preparing to leave.

“Senior, please stay.” Jian Wuji suddenly said.

“What? Do you have anything else?” Blood Heavenly Blade Demon asked.

“Senior, your proposal, senior still needs to consider it.” Jian Wuji said, “After all, this matter is of great importance, and senior does not dare to make a decision easily.”

“Consider? What else do you need to consider?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said with some displeasure, “I, the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, personally came out to invite you to join my camp, this is a blessing that you’ve cultivated over several lifetimes, and you still want to consider it?”

“Elder, senior is not unaware of this, it’s just that …… ” Jian Wuji said, deliberately pausing for a moment before continuing, “It’s just that, senior is now burdened with a heavy responsibility, and can’t easily leave the Yellow Springs Pavilion. “

“Yellow Springs Court? What is that?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said disdainfully, “Do you think that a mere Yellow Spring Pavilion can compare to the Heavenly Demon Seat?”

“Senior, you are right, the Yellow Springs Pavilion is naturally no match for the Heavenly Devil’s position.” Jian Wuji said, “However, senior is now the Lord of the Yellow Springs Pavilion, and with his duties, he cannot easily leave.”

“Duty calls? I think you’re just greedy for power!” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon laughed coldly, “Do you think that, just because you’ve become the Yellow Springs Pavilion Master, you can cover the sky with one hand?”

“Senior, you misunderstand, senior is not greedy for power, it’s just ……” Jian Wuji said, pausing once again before continuing, “It’s just that, senior wants to straighten out the Yellow Spring Pavilion, so that it can become a true organization that upholds justice.”

“Rectify the Yellow Springs Pavilion? Hahaha, how ridiculous!” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon laughed, “Do you think that you can change the current state of the Demon Sect?”

“Senior, senior doesn’t dare to guarantee that we will definitely be able to change the current situation of the Demon Sect, but senior will definitely do his best.” Jian Wuji said, “Senior believes that as long as we uphold justice and enforce the law impartially, we will definitely be able to change the current situation of the Devil Sect.”

“Justice? Enforcing the law with justice? Hahaha, how naive!” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon laughed out loud, “What do you think, what kind of place is the Demon Sect? This is a place where the weak eat the strong and the fittest survive! Here, only the strong, can survive!”

“Senior, you are right, the Devil Sect is indeed a place where the weak are the strong.” Jian Wuji said, “However, senior believes that even in the Demon Sect, there should be justice.”

“Justice? What is that?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said disdainfully, “Let me tell you, in the Demon Sect, strength, is justice!”

“Senior, you are wrong.” Jian Wuji shook his head and said, “Strength, is just power, while justice, is the heart.”
