Chapter 0037 – What’s Outside the Door – Absolute Returns

“That’s enough training for today.”

Upon hearing Zhang Hu’s words, those Law Enforcement Team martial artists who should have been feeling elated, however, all of them had a look of unfulfillment on their faces.

This period of training was like hell for them, not only was it incredibly hard, but it was also accompanied by endless scoldings. However, they had all benefited greatly from it.

Although his cultivation did not advance by leaps and bounds, his mind, which was originally somewhat lax, was all tightened up.

For them, the experts of the Law Enforcement Team, the strength of their mind was directly related to their performance in actual combat.

On top of that, Zhang Hu would personally instruct them on their martial arts and correct their wrong postures and habits outside of training. As a result, quite a few of them had gotten a real boost in their strength.

At this moment, Zhang Hu was explaining to them one by one how to improve their moves and how they should cultivate in the future.

Who would have thought that these Law Enforcement Team martial artists, who had once screamed in agony, would say something like this:

“Commander, can we practice a little longer?”

Seeing this, I smiled and walked out, saying, “I’m afraid I can’t, Commander Zhang will soon be going to take up the post of Demon Monarch, where will he find the time to care about you guys?”

“Demon Monarch?!” The crowd was stunned at the words.

They had been busy training all this time and knew nothing about what was going on outside, thus they didn’t realize that Zhang Hu had become a Demon Monarch.

“Congratulations Commander!” I don’t know who took the lead and shouted, and the crowd reacted instantly, clapping and cheering.

Zhang Hu smiled and arched his hand towards the crowd, saying, ”During this period of time, thanks to the cooperation of all the brothers, I, Zhang Hu, will never forget the days of training with you all! Alright, brothers, farewell to this! No, it’s better not to see each other, I don’t want to meet you guys on the battlefield in the future!”

After saying that, he turned around and left the martial arts arena.

I walked to the high platform where he stood before, looked at the familiar faces below the stage, and said with a smile, “Everyone, you are the first, and the last, batch of martial artists who have been trained by the Demon Sovereign himself, ever in the history of the Demon Sect!”

The crowd burst into laughter.

“What? Are you all, now, afraid to go and arrest my father?” I asked, half-jokingly, half-seriously.

The crowd laughed again.

I waited for them to have laughed enough before I collected my smile and said with a straight face, ”Being strong in martial arts is certainly important, but the most important thing for you law enforcement team martial artists is the pride in your hearts! It is the pride of maintaining the order of the Devil Sect and guarding the dignity of the Devil Sect! We in the Devil’s Way also have our own morals and persistence!”

“Yes!” The crowd responded in unison, their tones filled with determination and confidence.

“Alright, everyone has worked hard during this period of time, I have prepared a banquet for all of you, so everyone will not get drunk tonight!” I said with a smile.

“Oh!” The crowd burst into cheers, more excited than when they answered my words earlier.

……

The Blood Sky Blade Demon, as always, was waiting for me on that boulder.

“The way you’re standing here, you really look like a guardian spirit, silently watching over me.” I said with a smile.

“Are you turning the corner and scolding me for having a one-track mind?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said without a trace of anger.

“How?” I denied in a huff.

I originally thought that he would be furious because of the fact that I had pulled in the One Flower Sword Venerable, but I didn’t expect him to be so calm today, as if nothing had happened.

“Congratulations on Zhang Hu becoming a Demon Monarch.” He said indifferently.

“Thank you seniors.” I said in a hurry.

I was secretly wary in my mind, wondering what kind of drugs this old guy was selling.

However, today’s Blood Heavenly Blade Demon was uncharacteristically calm, as if he had changed into a different person.

The more he did, the less I had in mind.

It’s hard to paint a tiger’s skin and bone.

I have to admit, I haven’t really seen through this old guy until now.

“How did you convince Sword Exalt?” Blood Heavenly Sword Demon asked.

“I dare you to say it only if you promise not to be angry.” I said.

“I promise not to get angry.” The Blood Sky Blade Demon said.

“I told her that the reason why you chose Zhang Hu was because you are a true giant of the Devil’s Way, and that you only have the interests of the Devil’s Sect in your heart, not out of selfishness, and even less for the sake of ganging up.” I said.

When the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon heard this, the corner of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a cold smile.

“If she believes your bullshit, then this One Flower Sword Venerable of hers will have been for nothing.” He let out a cold snort and said, “That old demoness is no light.”

Although he said so on his lips, I knew that in his heart, he was actually quite scornful of the One Flower Sword Venerable.

“That old hag, she’s going to do everything she can to prevent us from seeing each other, to keep you out of my way. What are you going to do?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon asked.

“You have known me well, so I naturally look up to you.” I said without hesitation.

“What if she uses helping you support Zhang Hu as an excuse?” Blood Heavenly Blade Demon asked.

“You’re the elder, you started it, I’m just going along for the ride.” I said.

“Then what if she makes an offer you can’t refuse?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said, pulling out a small, delicate box from his pocket and handing it to me.

“A gentleman’s word is his bond.” I took the box but didn’t open it, instead I looked him in the eyes and said seriously.

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon didn’t say anything, but just looked at me quietly, an inexplicable light flickering in his eyes.

I took a deep breath and slowly opened the box.

Only inside the box, there was an elixir lying quietly.

The elixir was light blue in color, emitting a faint fragrance, and it was not a mortal product at first glance.

“This is ……” My heart moved, vaguely guessing the origin of this elixir.

“This is the Heavenly Divine Pill.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said in a calm tone, but a hint of flesh pain flashed in his eyes.

I froze, never expecting that he would give me such a precious elixir.

The Heavenly Divine Pill, that was a legendary divine object, even if one looked at the entire cultivation world, it was an extremely rare treasure.

It is said that this Dan is the ancient immortal refined, with the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life, even if you are seriously injured, as long as there is still a breath of air in the, take this Dan, can instantly restored as before.

Moreover, this Dan could also help cultivators break through bottlenecks and raise their cultivation level, making it a treasure that all cultivators could only dream of.

I had only casually mentioned earlier that I needed some elixir to raise my cultivation, but I didn’t expect that he would actually give me the Heavenly Divine Elixir.

“This …… this is too precious, I can’t take it.” I said in a hurry.

“What? You don’t want it?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon looked at me with a smirk.

“This ……” I hesitated.

Of course I want it. It’s a heavenly elixir!

“Don’t worry, this elixir, which I unintentionally obtained many years ago, has been kept until now and has never been taken.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said, “Since I gave it to you, I won’t ask for it back.”

“This ……” I had a celestial battle in my heart, and in the end, I couldn’t resist the temptation of the Heavenly Divine Pill and put it away.
