Chapter 0066 – Either You Gain Everything or Lose Everything – The Absolute Return

His expression, seemingly genuine, was inscrutable.

“Old Ling.”

“Don’t call me old Ling! You’ve done it more than five times today!”

“I understand you.”

“……”

“It is only when there is a give and take that there is a gain. The two of us, you and I, are not the kind of people, who can get something for nothing and sit back and enjoy it. Only someone like Second Prince Li can have this kind of blessing.”

“…… Damn.”

Just then, I finally finished refining the medicinal power of the Blood God Pill.

I opened my eyes with a smile on my face. My eyes, even clearer and brighter, were so deep and profound that it was impossible for anyone to speculate on the depth of my cultivation.

But soon, my eyes, returned to normal. Ling Paisu was secretly surprised when she saw this scene.

“His cultivation level, just how high is it?”

I didn’t deliberately hide my strength in front of him, as if to say:

“I’m already so powerful, why don’t you submit obediently?”

Even though I was powerful, I still maintained a humble attitude. I got up and cupped my fists, thanking Ling Paisu.

“Many thanks to Sect Leader Ling.”

“You’ve got a lot of guts, how dare you steal my elixir and refine the medicinal power in front of me!” Ling Paisu roared.

“What stealing food? It’s what you gave me.” I said with a smile.

“For you? What do you mean?” Ling Paisu asked in confusion.

“Didn’t I tell you before? If you want to remain in the Heavenly Demon God Sect, you must let me swallow this Blood God Pill.” I explained.

“What exactly does this mean?” Ling Paisu became even more puzzled.

“Tomorrow, you go to the Yellow Springs Pavilion and report that your elixir, has been stolen.” I said.

“!”

“This way, you can stay in the Heavenly Demon God Sect in name only.” I explained.

Ling Paisu then realized what I meant.

“But what if, after investigating, it turns out that no one has sneaked into my room?” Ling Paisu asked.

“It is my Yellow Springs Pavilion that is responsible for investigating this matter. I will try to stall for as long as I can until you accomplish your goal.” I said with a smile.

“Ah!”

Ling Paisu suddenly came to a realization and a joyful look appeared on her face.

The inner courtyard of the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect, surprisingly, had a burglary, so he could naturally stay in name only.

Moreover, the one in charge of investigating this matter is again my Yellow Springs Pavilion, so naturally, he will not be allowed to reveal himself or cause unnecessary trouble.

“It is also up to me and my father to decide when you leave the Heavenly Demon God Sect.” I added.

“Ah! So that’s it.”

“I’ll take my leave then, thanks to Sect Leader Ling’s Blood God Pill.”

I turned away.

Ling Paisu looked at my back and asked, “Did you already know?”

“I knew the moment he swallowed the Blood God Pill.” The man said.

His tone, once again, became respectful.

Ling Paisu looked at the empty metal ball and asked, “Do you think, Eldest Prince Li, knew, long ago, that it contained the Blood God Pill?”

“Of course.” The man affirmed.

“He knows?” Ling Paisu asked in surprise.

“Do you think that he chose this metal ball because it was good looking? Do you really think so?” The man asked rhetorically.

“No.”

Ling Paisu suddenly realized that he had indeed had such thoughts. Subconsciously, he thought that it was impossible for Eldest Prince Li to know about his divine weapon.

“How did he know?” Ling Paisu asked.

“Because he’s not a normal person, that’s why you gave him a gift.” The man said.

Ling Paisu nodded his head, his heart was full of mixed feelings. He was glad that by his side, he had such a wise man, yet he resented him for making such a difficult decision.

“…… I still think that the Blood God Pill, it’s too bad.”

He was getting heartburn again. Looks like he’s going to lose sleep again tonight.

“How many times have I told you that he didn’t tell you this way to get your gift.” The man said helplessly.

“If I give so much and end up with nothing, then the two of us, you and I, will be finished together.” Ling Paisu said.

The man gave a small smile from his disheveled hair and said, “If you die, don’t forget to take me with you.”

“Shut up!”

Ling Paisu looked at the empty metal ball, while the man looked at the Sonic Thunder Bell, and both of them fell into deep thought.

The next day, an explosive news spread throughout the entire Heavenly Demon God Sect.

Windy Sky Sect Master Ling Paisu’s residence was unexpectedly patronized by thieves and lost a Divine Artifact!

People were talking, it was unheard of for a theft to occur in the inner courtyard. However, people were even more curious as to which divine artifact had been stolen. However, the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect was, however, tight-lipped about this matter.

Although the people within the sect were in a state of panic, the Heavenly Demon Hall remained calm as usual.

The Chief Military Counselor, Sima Ming, had long since investigated the circumstances of the matter.

“Sect Leader Feng Tian, it seems, is directing himself. According to my Yellow Springs Pavilion’s investigation, no one has sneaked into his room. Furthermore, in order to steal his divine artifacts, one must at least possess the strength of a Demon Elder level. As far as I know, there is currently no Devil Exalted level expert that would hit him.”

Heavenly Demon Sword Wuji was convinced of Sima Ming’s judgment.

“Why did he direct himself?” Sky Devil Sword Wuji asked.

“He should be trying to find an excuse to remain in the Heavenly Demon God Sect. He will definitely use the search for divine artifacts as an excuse to refuse to return to the Seaside.” Sima Ming analyzed.

“Why doesn’t he want to leave? Could it be because of that incident?” Heavenly Demon Sword Wuji asked.

“That’s right, he should be wanting to take this opportunity to discuss with you about the Wind Heaven Sect’s advance into the Central Plains.” Sima Ming replied.

“This matter, it was Second Prince Li who was behind it, right?” Heavenly Demon Sword Wuji asked.

“Yes, Sect Master Feng Tian should have asked Second Prince Li for help in finding a way to stay in the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect. Second Eunuch Li then asked him to falsely claim that the artifact had been stolen and that the Yellow Springs Pavilion would be responsible for investigating it, so that Sect Master Feng Tian would be able to stay in the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect in name only.” Sima Ming explained.

“This kid, he’s quite resourceful.” A smile appeared at the corner of Heavenly Demon Sword Wuji’s mouth.

“What is the relationship between Sect Leader Feng Tian and the Seven Devil Generals?” Sky Devil Sword Wuji asked.

“Not so good. Ever since he came to the Heavenly Demon God Sect, he has only met with the Seven Demon Generals once, and he hasn’t had any contact with them since then. He has only met with the Demon Buddha a few times.” Sima Ming replied.

“What do you think, this matter, how should it be handled?” Heavenly Demon Sword Wuji asked.

Sima Ming pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s just wait and see what happens.”

Heavenly Demon Sword Wuji was deep in thought while Sima Ming quietly waited for his decision.

Sima Ming knew that the reason why Heavenly Devil Sword Wuji was hesitant was because of this matter, which involved the Wind Heavenly Sect. Heavenly Demon Sword Wuji did not wish for the Windsky Sect to march into the Central Plains. However, he was afraid that the reason why he was so hesitant was because Second Prince Li was also involved in this matter.

After a few moments, Heavenly Demon Sword Wuji finally made a decision.

“Just do as you say.”

“Yes.”

Sima Ming respectfully saluted and turned to leave.

As he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and said, “If Sect Leader Feng Tian joins forces with Second Duke Li, the Devil Buddha will definitely not sit idly by. He will most likely pull in Eldest Duke Li and join the fight.”

Sima Ming thought that the reason why Grand Duke Li had been pressing on, besides being afraid of the Heavenly Demon Sword Wuji, was also because he was confident that he would become the successor of the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect.

However, if Jian Wuji joined forces with the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon, the One Flower Sword Venerable, and the Windy Heavenly Sect Leader, then Grand Duke Li would be forced to take action.

Heavenly Demon Sword Wuji silently nodded in understanding.

Sima Ming turned around and left, leaving Heavenly Demon Sword Wuji alone, pondering alone.

His mind was filled with questions.

What exactly would Heavenly Demon Sword Wuji decide? Will he allow Mr. Li to return to the Heavenly Demon Sect and join the fight? Will he prevent the tragedy of sibling rivalry from happening?

It all depended on the will of the Heavenly Demon Sword Wuji.
