Chapter 0032 – Need a few snacks – Absolute Returns

“Good!” Zhang Hu nodded with satisfaction and said, “Now, everyone go rest for half an hour, and after half an hour, we will officially start training!”

“Yes!” The crowd led the way.

“Protector Zhang, this time, I’m going to trouble you again.” Jian Wuji said to Zhang Hu.

“Pavilion Master is polite, it is an honor for my subordinate to serve Pavilion Master.” Zhang Hu said.

“During this period of time, on the Demon Lord’s side, how is the situation?” Jian Wuji asked.

“Ever since the Demon Monarch was killed, the Demon Monarch lineage has been leaderless and people are on edge.” Zhang Hu said, “Now, everyone is waiting for the new Demon Ruler to take office so as to stabilize people’s hearts.”

Jian Wuji also knew that the candidate for the new Demon Ruler had been hanging in the balance, and both the Sect Leader and Sima Ming, were hurting their brains over it. And the eight Devil Sovereigns, were all secretly active, wanting to push their own people, to the position of Devil Sovereign.

“During this period of time, the Demon Monarch’s lineage, I’m counting on you to take care of it.” Jian Wuji said.

“Don’t worry, Pavilion Master, my subordinate will do my best.” Zhang Hu said.

“Good.” Jian Wuji nodded and turned to leave.

“Mr. Li, do you think that you can really control everything?” A voice suddenly sounded behind Jian Wuji.

Jian Wuji turned his head to look, only to see the Blood Sky Blade Demon, standing on the courtyard wall, looking at him with a smile.

“Senior Blade Demon, you are truly divine.” Jian Wuji said indifferently.

“A demonic father, naturally, has to have some special skills.” Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said, “How about it? Have you considered it? Do you want to join my camp?”

“Senior, you are really persistent.” Jian Wuji said, “Didn’t I already tell you yesterday? I need time to think about it.”

“Consider? How much longer do you need to consider?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said with some impatience, “I, the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, have personally come out to invite you to join my camp, this is a blessing that you’ve cultivated over several lifetimes, and you even have to consider it?”

“Senior, you are right, your invitation is indeed an honor for senior.” Jian Wuji said, “However, senior is now burdened with a heavy responsibility and cannot make a decision easily.”

“Heavy duty? What heavy responsibility?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said disdainfully, “What kind of heavy responsibility do you think a mere Yellow Springs Pavilion Master can have?”

“Senior, you are wrong.” Jian Wuji shook his head and said, “Senior wants to rectify the Yellow Springs Pavilion and make it an organization that truly upholds justice, isn’t this a heavy responsibility?”

“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.”

“Human hearts? Hahaha, how ridiculous!” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon laughed out loud, “The hearts of people are the most unreliable things! Do you think that you can use hearts and minds to change the Demon Sect?”

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

“Good, very good.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon took a deep breath, forced down the anger in his heart, and said, “Elder Li, remember for me today, this matter, I won’t just let it go!”

After saying that, the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon leapt forward and disappeared into the night.

“Blade Demon Senior, you are really in a hurry.” Sword Wuji looked at the direction the Blood Sky Blade Demon had left, the corner of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a cold smile, “I haven’t had enough fun yet, why are you leaving?”

“You wait for me, one day, I will make you kneel in front of me and beg me to spare your life!”

The next day, Jian Wuji came to the martial arts field to watch the training of the executive martial artists.

Zhang Hu’s training was, indeed, very cruel, and those executing martial artists, one by one, were so tired that they were sweating and panting, but not a single one of them was screaming out in pain, all of them were gritting their teeth and persisting.

“Hang in there! Men, be tough on yourself!” Zhang Hu yelled, “Every drop of sweat you shed now will become your armor in the future, protecting you and defeating the enemy!”

“Protector Zhang, you’re really something, one word and you can make them fight so hard.” Jian Wuji said with a smile.

“Pavilion Master is overpraising, I’m just saying a few words of truth.” Zhang Hu said, “These boys, they are all good seedlings, as long as they are trained properly, in the future, they will all become pillars of the Devil Sect.”

“I trust you.” Jian Wuji said, “You train them well, I won’t treat you poorly.”

“Many thanks, Pavilion Master!” Zhang Hu said gratefully.

“By the way, Protector Zhang, have you ever thought of becoming a Demon Lord?” Jian Wuji suddenly asked.

“Demon Lord?” When Zhang Hu heard this, he froze, “Pavilion Master, what do you …… mean by this?”

“My meaning is simple, I want you, to become the new Demon Lord.” Jian Wuji said bluntly.

“Pavilion Master, you …… are joking, right?” Zhang Hu looked at Jian Wuji incredulously.

“I never joke.” Jian Wuji said, “I think that you are very suitable to be a Demon Lord.”

“But, Pavilion Master, I …… I ……” Zhang Hu stammered, not knowing what to say.

“You don’t have to worry, I will support you.” Jian Wuji said, “I will help you and ascend to the position of Demon Lord!”

“Pavilion Master, why do you …… you want to help me?” Zhang Hu asked.

“Because, I believe in you.” Jian Wuji said, “I believe that you can be a good Demon Lord.”

“Pavilion Master ……,” Zhang Hu was moved to tears.

“Alright, you don’t need to say much.” Jian Wuji patted Zhang Hu’s shoulder and said, “You train them well, and leave the rest to me.”

“Yes, Pavilion Master!” Zhang Hu said firmly.

“Li An, let’s go.” Jian Wuji said, turning to leave.

“Yes, Your Excellency.” Li An hurriedly followed.

“Blood Sky Blade Demon, do you think that you can really control me?” Jian Wuji looked at the distant mountain peaks, the corner of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a cold smile, “You’re wrong, I, Jian Wuji, have never been at the mercy of anyone!”

“My destiny is mine and not God’s!”

On the third day, the Blood Sky Blade Demon arrived as promised.

He was still standing in the same place he was in the beginning, holding the Sky Destroying Blade and coldly looking at Jian Wuji.

“Have you considered it, Mr. Li?” Blood Sky Blade Demon asked.

“Think about it.” Jian Wuji nodded and said, “I promise you to become your ‘water’.”

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon was overjoyed at his words.

“Good! Very good!” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon laughed out loud, “Mr. Li, you really haven’t let me down!”

“However, I have one condition.” Jian Wuji said.

“What conditions?” Blood Sky Blade Demon asked.

“I want the Demon Lord position.” Jian Wuji said word for word.

“What?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon froze at the words, “What …… did you say?”

“I want you, to give me the Demon Lord position, to me.” Jian Wuji repeated.
