Chapter 0053 – The Variable is the Messenger – Absolute Return

I closed my eyes and released a trace of true qi. The true qi stretched forward along the passageway, rounded a few corners, and eventually came to the entrance of the secret passage.

I had never thought before that true qi could be used for pathfinding, and it was my father who taught me that.

True Qi drilled through the cracks of the secret passage.

Right at the moment my true qi entered the treasure trove, I felt a powerful aura.

“It’s Sect Leader Windy Sky!”

Worthy of being the Windy Sky Sect Leader, his aura was incredibly powerful. I hastily transferred my true qi to the other side.

I found the master sniffer.

He was indeed next to the Nether Thunder Clock.

After confirming their location, I withdrew my true qi. I’ve already been here once, there’s no need to take any chances.

I completed my reconnaissance mission without incident and returned to the cave.

I ate some jerky, then meditated and practiced the Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Technique.

For the next five days, I will stay in the cave without moving an inch so as not to cause any trouble.

Being careful is the respect I deserve for my efforts.

On the day of the Blood God Festival, the weather was sunny.

I looked up at the sky and prayed for a good day.

When my father first told me the two ways to break the Dementor, I had thought that there might be an easier way.

I hope my guesses are correct and that I’ll be able to pull it off.

After I descended the mountain, I headed in the direction of the Wind and Sky Sect.

The road leading to the Windy Sky Sect was crowded with people who had come to participate in the Blood God Sacrifice.

They came from all over the world, from the heads of large sects, disciples of small sects, and traders who came to do business.

On the day of the Blood God Sacrifice, no matter how high or low their status was, all people had to walk to the Windy Sky Sect, such was the majesty of the Blood God Sacrifice.

I watched from a distance for a moment, then headed toward the wasteland.

My heart is filled with unease.

What if the secret passage won’t open? What if the Blood God Sacrifice is suddenly canceled? What if Sect Leader Feng Tian himself rings the bell? What if the information I got is wrong?

All sorts of worries came to mind like a tidal wave.

I can only choose to believe in myself, that nothing unexpected will happen, and even if it does, I will be able to fix it. The best weapon to overcome fear is confidence.

I passed through the secret passage to the room near the throne of the Windy Sky Sect Leader, and then quietly waited for the time to come. I had already applied the kind of drug that could mask the odor on my face, hands, and body.

I knew that I had to wait until the Nether Thunder Bell had been rung thirty-six times before I could act.

I waited in the darkness as the minutes ticked by.

Finally, I heard the bells. I counted the bells as I waited.

When the clock struck the thirty-third time, I started to move to the entrance of the secret passage.

When the clock struck the thirty-fifth time, I opened the secret passage and stepped out.

That expert who was chained up was ringing the last bell. Sect Master Windsky did not allow anyone to enter the treasure vault, so he was the only one here.

When the last bell rang, I moved.

I executed the Wind God Steps, and like a ghost, I arrived behind that expert, and at the same time nailed his numbness point and sleep point. Before he could react, he fainted on the ground.

It all happened in the blink of an eye, and my movements were lightning fast and precise.

After I subdued him, I came to the Blood Buddha behind the Nether Thunder Bell.

Now, I only have a tea break, and Sect Leader Windy Sky may return at any time.

I pressed Blood Buddha’s eyes, which suddenly opened.

The eyes of the Blood Buddha looked terrifying.

I pressed again, and Blood Buddha’s eyes suddenly bulged out.

The eyes were filled with a third of a white liquid.

That’s what I came all the way out here for.

The Soul Regeneration Technique practiced by the Soul Regeneration Devil originated from the Blood Demon Sect’s Demonic Technique.

The Wind and Sky Cult, on the other hand, is a descendant of the Blood Demon Cult.

My father knew all this, but what he didn’t know was that the Wind and Sky Sect had a secret treasure called “Blood Eye Pure Water”.

It was said that by dropping the Blood Eye Pure Water into one’s eyes, one would be able to see through the Blood Demon Sect’s demonic skills and gain insight into the essence of the demonic skills.

It is said that this is a secret treasure passed down to prevent rebellion within the sect, and only the sect master and the successor know of its existence; outsiders have no way of knowing. The only reason I know of its existence is because Ling Bai County, the son of Sect Master Feng Tian, told me about it.

Last time I came here, I was so focused on stealing the Yin Thunder Bell that I didn’t have time to take the Blood Eye Pure Water.

Now I finally have a chance to get it.

I took out the eyeball of the Blood Buddha.

“Tick!”

I put a drop of Blood Eye Cleanse in my right eye.

“Tick!”

I added another drop of Blood Eye Cleanse from the bead of my left eye.

After the Blood Eye Pure Water entered my eyes, my eyes were instantly on fire, as if they were about to burn. Although it hurt, my vision was not affected.

I put my eyes back in place, and Blood Buddha’s eyes closed again.

There was still some Blood Eye Pure Water left in the eyeballs, enough for the next Sect Leader, and moreover, they wouldn’t even notice that the Blood Eye Pure Water was missing.

I stepped into the secret passage and blew two breaths toward the master before closing the door to it.

“Phew ……”

That master woke up.

He froze for a moment and realized that there was nothing unusual around him, so he continued to ring the bell. If it wasn’t for my profound power, it would have been impossible to do this.

I was curious as to what he had done wrong to get locked up here, but I had no intention of saving him because he was none of my business.

I quietly left the secret passage.

I had originally planned to wait until the time was ripe and then slowly collect the materials for the “Return to Heaven Technique”, but because of the matter of the Soul Regenerating Demon, I had to act earlier and take away the Blood Eye Pure Water.

No matter what, it was always worth being happy to be able to accomplish a mission, especially when it was like this one, where an unprecedented ability had been acquired, a joy that was hard to describe in words.

Not only will I be able to deal with the Soul Regenerating Demon, but also, this ability will definitely help me in my search for Flower Wrecker.

I could have stayed and enjoyed the Blood God Sacrifice, but instead of staying, I hoofed it back to the Demon Sect’s main altar.

I have to get back as soon as possible so I don’t have a long night.
