Chapter 0039 – In Moments Like These, This Is What You Do-Absolute Returns

“Boss, another jar of good wine!” I shouted.

“Alright, you wait a moment.” The boss answered and turned around to fetch the wine.

As I drank, I pondered how I could convince Sword Honored One Flower to help me willingly.

“There!”

Suddenly, a bright idea came to my mind.

……

One Flower Sword Venerable’s residence.

“Swordfather, Jian Wuji is currently drinking with the Blood Sky Blade Demon.” A man wearing a green colored long shirt respectfully reported to Zhaolian Lang.

This person was none other than Zhaolian Lang’s chief disciple, Sha You Zhong.

Zhaolian Lang turned his back to him and stood in front of the window, looking out of it without saying a word.

“That arrogant fellow!” Sha You Zhong gritted his teeth, “He dared to ignore your warning and continue to associate with that old piker, the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon!”

Zhaolian Lang slowly turned around and gave him a cold look.

Sha You Zhong was instantly silenced and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to speak again.

“Are you accusing me?” Zhaolian Lang asked coldly.

“Subordinate wouldn’t dare.” Sha You Zhong said in a hurry.

“Hmph!” Zhaolian Lang snorted coldly and said, “You go down.”

“Yes.” Sha You Zhong bowed and retreated.

He left, but his mind was filled with doubt.

He really couldn’t figure out why Sword Exalted would be so indulgent towards that fellow, Sword Wuji.

One must know that Sword Wuji was the person of the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, who, in turn, was Sword Exalt’s mortal enemy.

“Could it be that Swordfather really has his eyes on that fellow?” Sha You Zhong said in his heart.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Otherwise, how could Swordfather be so perverse?

“No, I must stop them!” Sha You Zhong secretly said in his heart.

He would never allow, Sword Dignity to fall into the clutches of that fellow, Jian Wuji!

……

Zhaoren Lang looked at Sha You Zhong’s back as he left, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

She knew that Sha You Zhong was full of hostility towards Jian Wuji.

But she didn’t stop him.

Because, she, herself, was also curious about Jian Wuji.

That fellow, what kind of magic power does he have that he can make that old pipsqueak, the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, hold him in such high regard?

“I’d like to see just what you’re capable of.” Zhaolian Lang secretly said in his heart.

She turned and walked over to her dresser, sat down, and looked at herself in the mirror.

She was still beautiful and magnificent in the mirror.

But her eyes were full of vicissitudes and despondency.

“Can you, really, help me and fulfill my wish?” She murmured.

……

After the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon left, I didn’t immediately return to my own place, but instead came to Li An’s practice room.

“You’re here?” Liam said with a smile when he saw me.

“You’ve been practicing hard lately.” I looked at her and said with a smile.

“Aren’t you talking nonsense?” Li An gave me a blank look and said, “I’m not doing this to cure me earlier so I can help you out.”

“You’ll be cured, soon enough.” I said with a smile.

“Really?” Li An sniffed and was pleasantly surprised, “You found a cure for my disease?”

“Hmm.” I nodded and said, “I found a secret technique called ‘Body Poison Purification Technique’ that can completely remove the toxins from your body.”

“Body Poison Purification Technique?” Li An froze at the words, “What kind of secret art is this? How come I’ve never heard of it before?”

“This is a very ancient secret art that I also obtained by chance.” I said with a smile, “Don’t worry, this secret art is very safe and won’t cause you any harm.”

“That’s good.” Li An breathed a sigh of relief and said, “So when are you going to help me heal?”

“When my cultivation improves some more, I’ll be able to heal you.” I said.

“And when will that be?” Liam asked, somewhat anxiously.

“Soon.” I said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll cure you of your illness as soon as possible.”

“Uh-huh.” Liam nodded and said, “I trust you.”

“By the way, is there anywhere you’d like to go?” I asked.

“Want to go somewhere?” Liam sniffed and froze, “I never thought about that.”

She had been imprisoned in the Demon Sect’s main altar since she was a child, and had never left this place, so naturally, she had never thought about where she was going.

“When you’re cured, I’ll take you to the Central Plains for some traveling.” I said with a smile.

“Really?” Li An was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, “You’re really going to take me to the Central Plains?”

“Uh-huh.” I nodded and said, “Let’s go together and see what it’s like, out there.”

“Great!” Li An said excitedly, “I’ve long wanted to visit the Central Plains.”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely take you to see all the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Central Plains and taste all the delicious food of the Central Plains.” I said with a smile.

“It’s a deal!” Liam said as he held out his pinky.

“It’s a deal!” I said with a smile, hooking her pinky.

……

After I left Liam’s practice room, I went back to my place.

I lay in bed, my mind going back and forth, to the events of the day.

“Blood Sky Blade Demon, One Flower Sword Venerable, Zhang Hu, Li An ……”

I mumbled.

All of these people will become pawns in my hands to help me ascend to the position of Demon Sect Master!

“I will succeed!” I said in my heart, with confidence and ambition in my eyes.
