Chapter 0038 – You’ll Be Blackmailed – Absolute Returns

When Zhaolian Lang heard this, he raised his head, gave me a deep look, and said, “What do you want, kid?”

“I would like to ask you, one more time, to help me.” I said bluntly.

“Help you? Help you with what?” Zhaolian Lang looked at me with a smirk.

“Help me and become the Demon Cult Master!” I said word for word.

Zhaolian Lang’s face grimaced at his words.

“You kid, what a nerve!” She snorted coldly and said, “Who do you think, you are? How dare you hit the Demon Sect Master?”

“I know that my current strength is not enough to fight against the Sect Leader.” I said calmly, “But I believe that as long as you are willing to help me, I can definitely succeed.”

“What makes you think that I will help you?” Zhaolian Lang asked coldly.

“Just by you, you don’t want to see the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon dominate, do you?” I looked straight into her eyes and said word for word.

When Zhaolian Lang heard this, his pupils shrunk violently and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

“You boy, are you threatening me?” She asked coldly.

“I’m just stating a fact.” I said calmly, “You should be well aware of the ambition of the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, he definitely won’t be willing to be subservient. Once he is allowed to gain the support of the Demon Sovereign, then the entire Demon Sect, will fall under his control.”

“Do you think that I would believe your bullshit?” Zhaolian Lang snorted coldly and said, “You kid, don’t stir up trouble here.”

“Believe it or not, I just don’t want to see, the Demon Sect fall into the hands of a traitor.” I said indifferently, “You are the patriarch of the Demon Sect, you should know better than me what kind of consequences will be brought about once you let that fellow, the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, take control of the Demon Sect.”

Zhaolian Lang didn’t say anything, but just looked at me quietly with an inexplicable glint in his eyes.

I knew that my words had planted a seed of doubt in her mind.

“Think about it, I’ll wait for your reply.” After I finished, I turned around and left.

I know that she must be very torn right now.

On the one hand, she didn’t want to see the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon dominate.

On the other hand, she didn’t want to work with me because she knew very well that I was a very dangerous person.

“Take your time to think about it, time, will tell.” I said in my heart.

……

After I left Zhaolian Lang’s residence, I didn’t immediately return to my own residence, but instead wandered around the Demon Sect’s main altar.

As I walked, I pondered how I could convince Zhaolian Lang to help me willingly.

“There!”

Suddenly, a bright idea came to my mind.

I turned around in a hurry and headed in the direction of the cache.

……

“You kid, why are you here again?”

I came to the hidden scripture pavilion, and after explaining my intention to the guardian elder, the guardian elder said with an impatient face.

“Elder, I came here this time because I want to borrow some tomes about the history of the Demon Sect.” I said with a smile.

“History of the Devil Cult?” The Pavilion Guard Elder froze when he heard this, “You brat, if you don’t cultivate properly, what are you looking at those things for?”

“Elder, I’m not trying to learn more about the history of the Demon Sect so that I can serve the Demon Sect.” I said with a smile.

“You brat, don’t come with me on this.” The Pavilion Guardian Elder said without a trace of anger, “You think I don’t know what’s in your brat’s heart? You brat, it’s nothing more than wanting to find some clues about the Demon Sect’s treasures from those canonical books, isn’t it?”

“Elder, you’re really skillful, nothing can be hidden from you.” I said with a smile.

“Hmph! You kid, don’t give me a high hat.” The Pavilion Guard Elder snorted coldly and said, “I’m telling you, those legends about the Demon Sect’s treasure are all false, so just die.”

“Elder, of course I believe your words.” I smiled and said, “However, I still want to borrow some canonical books about the history of the Demon Sect, so please fulfill your request.”

“Alright, alright, who let the old man be soft-hearted.” The Pavilion Guard Elder shook his head helplessly and said, “Follow me.”

I followed the elder guarding the pavilion and came to a bookshelf.

“These are all tomes about the history of the Demon Sect, take your time to read them yourself.” The Pavilion Guardian Elder said.

“Thanks, Elder!” I said with a smile.

After the Pavilion Guardian Elder left, I started flipping through the tomes.

These canonical books contained some secret stories about the history of the Demon Sect, and there was no shortage of shocking secrets.

I watched it with great interest and was completely engrossed.

I don’t know how long it had been, but I suddenly found a passage in one of the books about the One Flower Sword Venerable.

The account, which is only a short sentence:

“The One Flower Sword Venerable, who fell in love with the former Demon Sect Master, but ended up begging for more.”

I saw the words and my heart fluttered.

“So it is!”

I mumbled.

I finally understood why the One Flower Sword Venerable had so rejected the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon.

Because, she had once deeply loved the former Demon Sect Master, while the Blood Sky Blade Demon, was the former Demon Sect Master’s mortal enemy.

“It seems that in order to convince her, we still have to start with the former Demon Sect Master.” I said in my heart.
