Chapter 0057 – Hopefully No Other Monsters Will Appear – The Absolute Return

The next day, the news of Dementor Demonfather’s death spread throughout the entire Demon Sect.

Although a lot of people had died recently, the death of the Demon Venerable was not a small matter. The Devil Cult’s main altar was heavily guarded, and an investigation into the death of the Soul Regenerating Devil Venerable had officially kicked off.

The one responsible for investigating this case is none other than our Yellow Springs Pavilion. The matter is of great importance, so I led all the special investigation officers and twenty elite execution warriors to the Western Fantasy Town.

Outside the Soul Regent Demonfather’s mansion, his disciples and ghost exorcists stood at attention.

“You can’t go in there!”

They refused to let us enter the mansion, and they panicked, not knowing how to deal with the matter. They could only prevent us from entering until the other Demon Dignitaries made a decision.

I didn’t have a run-in with them.

“Alright then, let’s invite the Demon Doctor in. The body needs to be properly stored, and also, we need to find out the cause of death.”

Demon doctors have a supreme status in the demonic cult and are highly skilled in healing, and are trusted and respected by all demonists, so they didn’t reject my offer.

The Demon Doctor carefully examined the corpse, then said to me and the disciples of the Soul Regenerating Demon, “From the looks of it, he died because he over-exerted his internal energy, causing damage to his heart and meridians. There are no traces of fighting around him, and there are no signs of poisoning, so he should have died from going off the deep end.”

Hearing this conclusion, the disciples of the Soul Regent Demonfather couldn’t help but sigh, while I, on the other hand, was secretly delighted.

Since the Demon Doctor has already concluded that the Soul Regenerating Demon was killed by a fire, we don’t need to bother looking for the murderer.

On the way back to the Heavenly Demon Hall, Xu Dalong carefully asked, “…… It wasn’t you, was it?”

“What?”

“That’s the thing.”

Xu Dalong didn’t dare to say it explicitly, so he used a voice transmission to ask, “You didn’t kill the Soul Regenerating Demon, did you?”

“What? You think I killed him?”

“But …… you gave me the boy yesterday, saying that he had almost become a sacrifice for the Dementor’s spell.”

Not only that, two months ago, when I left Western Fantasy Town, he had said that I had the same look in my eyes as when I decided to challenge those impossible tasks. Now, that impossible task had become a reality.

“Do you really want to know?”

“No, I don’t want to know! I don’t know anything! I’ll go back first.”

After Xu Dalong finished speaking, he turned around and walked in the direction of the Yellow Springs Pavilion.

I saw the Temple of Heavenly Demons from afar.

I wonder how my father will react?

With heavy steps, I walked into the Heavenly Demon Hall.

Father was still sitting in the eunuch’s chair, and today, Chief Military Counselor Sima Ming was also there.

I saluted them, and Sima Ming asked, “Jian Wu Ji, did you get anything out of this trip?”

“I’m just out for a walk, not much to show for it.”

“You’re looking good.”

“Lord Armsmaster should also go out more often and relax, not always burying his head in his work.”

“I don’t dare relax, what if the enemy comes to attack while I’m resting?”

Sima Ming joked and we all laughed.

After exchanging pleasantries, I reported the news of the Dementor’s death to my father.

“Lord Demon Doctor has confirmed that the Soul Regenerating Demon has gone off the deep end and died.”

Father and Sima Ming didn’t say anything, and I knew that they didn’t believe this conclusion. How could a hallowed Demon Sovereign suddenly go off the deep end and die?

I took the initiative and said, “I also find it very strange, how could the Soul Regenerating Demon go off the deep end? Could he have been killed by someone else?”

“Don’t rule it out.”

“I suggest that the Yellow Springs Court investigate this case.”

“This matter will be investigated by the other Demon Elders.”

“Don’t we have to intervene?”

“Historically, the Heavenly Demon Hall will not intervene in the death of a Demon Dignitary, we can only watch from the sidelines.”

“Well, in that case, it’s just as well we don’t have to worry about it, just so we can relax.”

We chatted for a while longer, and Sima Ming had the good sense to leave.

After Sima Ming left, his father opened the door and asked, “How did you kill it?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I’m asking you, how did you kill the Soul Regenerating Demon?”

There was no anger in my father’s tone, only curiosity. He wasn’t one to waste time over a dead man, he just wanted to know how I did it.

“I really wanted to make up a story to trick you and tell you how I killed the Soul Regenerating Demon Lord. But you have overestimated me, I don’t have that ability yet, to be able to make the Soul Regenerating Demon Demon Demon go off the deep end and die.”

In fact, I wanted to tell my father the truth.

But I can’t explain how I got the Blood Eye Pure Water. Luckily, the Soul Regenerating Demon was killed by a fire, if he was killed by me, then my father will surely trace him to the end, and at that time, I will have no choice but to destroy his body and destroy the traces.

“I drank all night with Elder Blood Heavenly Blade Demon last night, he can testify for me.”

Father let out a cold laugh and said, “The two of you went together to kill the Soul Regenerating Demon?”

“No, absolutely not! Father, this is the wrath of heaven, the Soul Regent Demon is a demon who will not hesitate to live and take people’s hearts in order to increase his strength!”

I know that father has decided that I killed the Dementor.

But I couldn’t tell him the truth because I didn’t want to embarrass him; I didn’t want him to go against his principles in order to harbor me.

Father was silent for a moment and said, “With the death of the Soul Regenerating Demon Lord, the other Demon Lords definitely won’t stand idly by.”

The Eight Devils, one for all, one for all. They must suspect me, just as my father suspected me.

I looked at my father and said, “I just hope that there won’t be a second Soul Regenerating Demon.”

After I left the Heavenly Demon Hall, I came to the Northern Heavenly Sword Villa.

Sha Woo Jong came out to greet me.

“Jian Wuji, welcome.”

He was more enthusiastic than ever.

“Sha You Zhong, ah, Sha You Zhong, do you know? The death of the Soul Regenerating Demon is actually related to you as well.”

If he hadn’t lured the Soul Regenerator to me, I wouldn’t have known about the Soul Regeneration Technique at all.

By now, he should be shocked and scared, right? After all, I’m the one who should be dead.

He dropped me off in front of the cabin and turned away.

“You guys take your time.”

I know, he’s not a good person, but I can’t punish him for this.

I decided to watch him for a while and then utilize him if I had the opportunity later.

“Jian Wuji, come in.”

In the past, Sword Honored One Flower always treated me with love and disdain, but now, she actually took the initiative to invite me into the house.

“Senior, goodbye.”

“I heard you were out of town, how was it? Did you have a good time?”
