Chapter 0035 – Rather Not Forget – The Absolute Return

“Alright, you guys go down and rest first.” I waved towards the door, and a few maids walked in and brought the three girls down. I had already instructed them to take good care of these three girls, so they didn’t have to worry about anything anymore.

I believe that this matter will soon spread throughout the entire Devil Sect, and those who want to hit on the maid will have to weigh their options in the future. Those in the Devil’s Way are not born to be like this, much less take bullying the weak for granted. I have to change all of this, from the root to prevent this kind of thing from happening again.

Li An, who witnessed the entire interrogation process, is now shaking his head with a face of fear, and said with palpitations, “Seeing his sworn look before, I really thought he was wrongly accused. It’s true that we know people’s faces and hearts, the human heart is too scary!”

“Yes, there is nothing more frightening in this world than the human heart.” I said with deep empathy.

“However, he is after all a member of the Northern Heavenly Sword Family, will the One Flower Sword Venerable One take it kindly?” Li An asked with some concern.

“If he dares to trouble me over such a matter, then he’ll be a One Flower Sword Venerable to the end of his days!” I snorted coldly, my tone filled with disdain.

“Aren’t you afraid that he will really come after you?” Li An asked with some surprise.

“Afraid? Why should I be afraid? I’m not even afraid of death, would I still be afraid of him, a mere One Flower Sword Exalt?” I asked rhetorically, my tone filled with confidence and dominance.

“You are really becoming more and more like a member of the Devil’s Way!” Li An said with a smile.

“What? I didn’t used to look like that?” I asked rhetorically, raising an eyebrow.

“Although you used to be a young lord of the Devil Dao, you acted more like a righteous gentleman. But ever since you became the Yellow Springs Pavilion Master, you’ve become more and more murderous and decisive, and more and more like a giant of the Devil Dao.” Li An explained with a smile.

“Could it be that what I’m doing isn’t what people of the righteous path should do? Are those so-called righteous people the only ones who can punish evil and protect the weak?” I asked rhetorically, with a hint of mockery in my tone.

“This ……” Liam was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to answer.

“No more bullying of maidservants, isn’t this a natural thing? We in the Devil’s Way, do we not even have this most basic conscience?” I continued, my tone filled with hatred.

“You’re right, we were wrong.” Li An lowered his head and said in a guilty tone.

“We were, before, all wrong.” I shook my head, my tone heavy.

Just then, Xu Dalong went and returned, asking with a puzzled expression, “Pavilion Master, why did you kill him? According to your habits, you should have locked him up in the dungeon and let him enjoy himself, right?”

The dungeon of the Yellow Springs Pavilion, that’s a place more terrifying than hell.

“Yeah, I did think that before.” I admitted with a nod.

“Then why are you ……” Xu Dalong was even more puzzled.

“Because that’s the only way I’ll have a reason to meet Swordsman Ichika.” I explained.

When Xu Dalong heard this, he suddenly came to a realization. I deliberately interfered in this matter and killed Pei Zongzhuo in front of those maids in order to provoke the One Flower Sword Venerable so that I could give myself a reason to pay a visit to the door openly and honestly.

“You are trying to ……” Xu Dalong seemed to have guessed my intentions, and a shocked look appeared on his face.

“I need a second tiger.” I nodded, speaking in a calm tone.

“What?” Xu Dalong was confused, not understanding what I meant at all.

I looked at the bewildered Xu DaLong and instructed, “You immediately go and notify the One Flower Sword Venerable, and tell him that there were some accidents during the interrogation process, and that I need to explain it to him face to face.”

……

An hour later, I brought Xu Dalong to the Northern Heavenly Sword Family.

“Must you bring me along?” Xu Dalong asked in a small voice while walking.

“If I’m going to visit the One Flower Sword Venerable, can I still go alone? It’s only natural to bring you, my right-hand man, along.” I said rightfully.

“When did I become your right hand man?” Xu Dalong said in tears and laughter.

“Aren’t you qualified enough? You’re the most capable general under my command, with a good mind, strong martial arts skills, and you’re also loyal to me, can’t you still not be my right-hand man?” I said with a smile.

“I ……” Xu Dalong was a little embarrassed by my praise, for a moment actually do not know what to say.

“What? Not happy with my assessment?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.

“No no, subordinate is just ……” Xu Dalong hurriedly waved his hand and explained.

“Well, don’t be modest, I know very well in my heart what kind of person you are.” I patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

As we spoke, we had already arrived in front of the North Heavenly Sword Family’s main gate.

If the Blood Heavenly Sword Demon’s South Sword Sect occupied the south side of the Demon Sect, then One Flower Sword Venerable’s North Heavenly Sword Family occupied the north side of the Demon Sect. These two forces, one south and one north, echoed each other and together supported half of the sky of the entire Demon Sect.

“I’ve never been to the Northern Heavenly Sword Family before, and the area I’m in charge of has never had a case related to the Northern Heavenly Sword Family. It is said that the One Flower Sword Venerable has a good way of ruling his family and disciplining his subordinates extremely strictly, and the disciples of the Northern Heavenly Sword Family are all people who are extremely honorable.” Xu Dalong walked while introducing me.

“Yeah?” I responded absently, not seeming very interested in what he had to say.

“You don’t believe it?” Xu Dalong asked with some curiosity when he saw my lack of interest.

“What do you think? Those so-called righteous people, each and every one of them is moralistic and full of benevolence and morality, but behind their backs, they are thieves and prostitutes, doing nothing evil. Could it be that those in the Devil’s Path are really much more noble than them?” I asked rhetorically, my tone filled with mockery.

“This ……” Xu Dalong was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to retort.

“Look at those disciples guarding the gate, all of them are fierce and fierce-eyed, where is there any semblance of a prestigious sect?” I pointed at those disciples guarding the gate in front of me and said.

Those disciples had obviously gotten the news and knew the purpose of my trip, and the gazes they looked at me were filled with hostility. However, due to my might, they didn’t dare to say anything more and could only obediently lower their heads and salute me.

Xu Dalong followed my gaze and instantly understood what I meant. The eyes of those disciples were clearly saying, “What gives you the right to kill our Northern Heavenly Sword Family?”

“I’ve been seeing that look a lot lately, especially when following you around.” Xu Da Long muttered in a small voice.

“What? You want to emulate them too?” I asked with a sidelong glance at him, smirking.

“No …… dare ……” Xu Dalong quickly shook his head and smiled sarcastically.

Right at this moment, a man wearing a long green shirt with a long sword hanging from his waist walked over, arched his hand towards me, and said aloud, “Pavilion Master has traveled a long way to meet me, so please forgive me! I, Sha You Zhong, have been waiting here for a long time by order of my family master.”

This person was none other than Sha You Zhong, the chief disciple of the One Flower Sword Venerable, and the leader of the younger generation of the Northern Heavenly Sword Family, with unfathomable strength.

I’m no stranger to him, not because of any friendship with him, but because of the way he ended up, which left a lasting impression on me.

“Brother Sha is polite.” I arched my hand at him and said with a smile.

“Pavilion Master, please follow me.” Sha Youzhong made a gesture of invitation before turning around to lead the way in front.

We walked through the heavy courtyards and finally arrived at a secluded courtyard. In the center of the compound, there was a delicate little thatched hut that looked ancient and elegant, with a unique flavor.

This was the residence of the One Flower Sword Venerable.

“My master is waiting inside, please wait for a moment, Pavilion Master.” After Sha You Zhong finished speaking, he walked to the front of the hut, gently knocked on the door, and said aloud, “Master, the Yellow Springs Pavilion Master has arrived.”

“Come in.” A cool female voice came out from the hut.

Sha You Zhong pushed open the door to the room and made a sideways gesture of invitation.

I nodded at him before stepping inside.

I saw that the hut was very simply furnished, with only a bed and couch, a table, and a few chairs, in addition to which there were no other furnishings.

A woman dressed in white with a clear face was sitting at the table, holding a cup of fragrant tea in her hand and sipping it with an elegant posture.

She, the One Flower Sword Honored One – Zhaolian Lang.
