Chapter 0047 – You Fill the Gap – Absolute Returns

A moment later, Ling Portable walked in.

“My subordinate pays his respects to the Demon Lord, I wonder what his orders are?”

Our eyes fell on his waist, where it was empty of the ghost fan that exorcists often wear.

“Where’s your ghost fan?”

“Reporting back to the Demon Lord, I accidentally lost it yesterday.”

The Dementor threw the ghostly fan in his hand at him.

“This is my stuff, why do you have it?”

Ling Portable didn’t dare to look directly at the Soul Regenerating Demonfather and turned his head to me, “Dare I ask Swordfather, where did you find this fan?”

“Several bodies were found yesterday, and this fan was at the scene.”

Hearing my answer, Ling Portable visibly froze. It wasn’t the unusual surprise of a lost item being found at the scene of the crime, but another kind of unspeakable shock.

Moreover, Ling Portable did not pursue where the body was found or inquire about the cause of death.

“It seems that the person who disposed of those corpses was Ling Portable!”

Just then, I sensed that the Soul Regenerating Demon was casting the Soul Regeneration Technique.

“There’s a lot at stake, and you’ll have to come with us and be investigated.”

Ling Portable doesn’t fear me, and he turns his gaze to the only person who scares him, as if waiting for the other person’s verdict.

The Soul Regenerating Demon didn’t say a word, just gazing at him silently. I could feel that he was using a special way to transmit his voice to Ling Portable.

Soon after, Ling Portable said to me, “My subordinate understands, and will follow you here.”

He neither defended himself nor resisted, but just tied his hands.

I made a solemn salute towards the Soul Regenerating Demon, “Thank you for your assistance, Sword, I take my leave.”

The Demon Regulator nodded slightly, his face still had the same unperturbed expression that made people unable to grasp his mind.

Back at Department Six, I immediately ordered Ling Portable to begin his interrogation.

Several experienced interrogators took turns, yet Ling Portable always had only one sentence, “My subordinate just lost the ghost fan.”

“It seems like it’s not easy to pry his mouth open.” Xu Dalong said.

I nodded, Ling Portable’s eyes already said it all. His loyalty and fear of the Soul Regenerating Demon has gone deep into his bones, and no amount of coercion could make him talk.

“We can’t keep him in custody without proof that he’s the killer.”

“He’s just a pawn, if you want to arrest someone, you should arrest the Soul Regenerating Demon.”

Xu Dalong seemed to see the killing intent in my eyes and said in a worried tone, “Sir, think twice, the other party is a Soul Regenerating Demon Lord!”

“Do you remember what I said when I first came to Department Six? Even if my father made a mistake, I would still bring him to justice.”

“The subordinate remembers.”

“In that case, he should be the one to watch out for. You go and tell him to be on his best behavior.”

“How could my subordinate have the guts to say such a thing ……”

That day, an unexpected person came to my study.

Xu Dalong ran in with a panicked expression, even stuttering a bit as he spoke, “Teacher, Teacher Master arrives!”

I was also taken aback, never dreaming that my father would come in person.

“And please!”

Shortly after Xu Dalong left, his father walked into the study.

“Father, what brings you here?”

“Passed by and stopped by to see you.”

How is this possible? Father clearly has something to say to me.

“My son has prepared tea and wine, please wait a moment father.”

“What are you drinking in broad daylight? Drink tea.”

I personally made a pot of tea and brought it to my father. All this time, my father had been standing by the window, gazing into the distance.

“Tea, please.”

My father picked up his teacup, but he still looked out the window and slowly said, “Do not mess with the Soul Regenerating Devil until you have no choice.”

I realized that my father had taken the trouble to come here just to say that.

He knew that I had gone to the Western Fantasy Town, and he also knew that I had captured Ling Portable, and he also knew that I wouldn’t let it go.

“Why?”

“Because he’s not an opponent you can deal with.”

“I can take advantage of his defenses and kill him with a single slash. Even if I can’t beat him in a head-on fight, I can sneak attack from behind and there’s always a chance to kill him!”

“It’s easy to kill him, but it’s hard as hell to surpass him and stand behind him.”

“Could it be that the Soul Regenerating Demon Sovereign is really so powerful?”

“He is both the weakest and the strongest.”

I understand what my father means.

If one could surpass his Soul Regeneration Technique, that is to say, practicing martial arts that were not under his control, or reach a realm that he could not control, then the Soul Regeneration Demon Sovereign would turn out to be the easiest person to deal with. After all, putting aside the Soul Regeneration Technique, his martial arts were nothing more than that.

From this perspective, to Father, the Soul Regenerating Demon might be the weakest Demon, as the Soul Regeneration Technique was simply ineffective against him.

“Father, can you help me?”

“There’s nothing I can do about it for a short time.”

“You’ve seen my child’s talent, as long as you’re willing to teach me, I’ll definitely be able to learn quickly!”

My father didn’t seem to hear my plea and said to himself, “There are only two ways to break the Soul Regeneration Technique. The first is to cultivate the Nine Specters Demonic Technique, depending on the qualifications of the cultivator, the effect of resisting the Soul Regeneration Technique varies, but with your talent, as long as you reach fifty percent of the fire, you will be immune to the effects of the Soul Regeneration Technique.”

“I don’t want to hear about the second way, you might as well teach me the first.”

I suggested that I wanted to inherit the Demon Lord’s position, but my father avoided it and instead talked about the second method.

“Secondly, cultivate the Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Technique to the Grand Completion Realm. However, both of these methods cannot be done with your current strength, so you can only choose to back off.”

Hearing this, I suddenly remembered something, something I didn’t know until after I was reborn.

“Father, there is actually a third method.” And it’s a hundred times easier than the first two methods.

But the question now is ……

“Could it be that the Soul Regenerating Demon is an indispensable existence to this Sect?”

Father should have been able to hear the murderous intent hidden in my calm tone.

“Among the eight Devil Dharma, the one that people of the righteous world are most afraid of is the Soul Regenerator.”
