Chapter 0069 – Killing Means Effective – Absolute Returns

I stepped into the mountain gate of the Northern Heavenly Sword Family.

As usual, Situ Zhong guided me to the residence of the One Flower Sword Venerable.

“Pavilion Master, you’re here.”

“Mr. Szeto, goodbye.”

“Thanks to the Lord of the Court, I’m all right.”

He looked as normal, not mentioning in the slightest the matter of using the Soul Regenerating Demon before and trying to ostracize me.

Today, I’m going to utilize the Green Fairy to lure him into revealing his ambitions and bring him into my camp.

“Mr. Li, you’re here!”

Sword Honored One Flower greeted me warmly. She looked, even more radiant than before.

“Swordfather, you look even younger.” I said with a smile.

The One Flower Sword Honored One brought me to the garden, pointed to a new bud, and said:

“Look, the seed you sent me, sprouted.”

“Oh! Growing up so fast.”

“Yes, life is marvelous.”

The breath of Situ Zhong, who was standing behind us, became even more somber. I had been secretly observing him from the moment I entered the door.

My cultivation, compared to when I first learned this technique from my father, has skyrocketed. Not only can I sense the presence and appearance of the other person, but I can also feel their emotional changes.

I secretly transmitted my voice to the One Flower Sword Venerable:

“Swordfather, can you ask Mr. Situ, to prepare some wine and food for us? I have some things that I want to tell him on the side. The reason, I’ll tell you later.”

“Okay.”

The One Flower Sword Venerable instructed Situ Zhong to go prepare the wine and food. Situ Zhong respectfully agreed and turned to leave, his emotions, however, became even more violent.

Sword Honored One Flower never used to drink before, but now she has started to drink, and moreover, she is only speaking to me alone, in a tone of voice of her peers.

Judging from the change in his mood, he should have thought that the One Flower Sword Honored One had been snatched away by me.

My guess is that his relationship with the Green Fairy wasn’t normal, either. The way he ended up, it already says it all.

A few moments later, Situ Zhong carried the wine and food and walked over. I took the opportunity to say something that appeared to be addressed to One Flower Sword Venerable, but in reality, it was addressed to Situ Zhong.

“Nowadays, the ones most likely to inherit the mantle of the Soul Regenerating Demon Sovereign are the eldest disciple, Liang Guide, and the third disciple, Qing Xian.”

Hearing the name “Green Fairy”, Situ Zhong’s body obviously trembled a little.

“I’ve heard that it’s more likely that Guide Liang will become the heir of the Soul Regenerating Demon God.” One Flower Sword Venerable said.

“True, but it’s not like the Green Fairy doesn’t have a chance.” I said.

Sword Honored One Flower looked at me suspiciously, not understanding why I was saying these words in front of Situ Zhong. However, she didn’t show it and instead followed my words and asked:

“What does she have to offer?”

“Isn’t Sect Leader Windsky here? The demonic skills practiced by Sect Master Windsky and Soul Regenerating Demon are from the same source. If Qing Xian can get guidance from Sect Leader Windy Sky, he might be able to defeat Liang Guan.” I explained.

“Will Sect Leader Feng Tian accept her as his disciple?” One Flower Sword Venerable asked.

“It will be, Sect Master Feng Tian has always wanted to march into the Central Plains, if he can take Qing Xian as his disciple, he will be able to stay in the Central Plains in name only. I’m afraid, Qing Xian is still not willing to worship him.” I said.

“Why?” One Flower Sword Honored One asked.

“During his lifetime, the Soul Regenerating Demon must have often taught his disciples to beware of the Windsky Sect Master. He definitely didn’t say a lot of bad things about Sect Master Windsky.” I explained.

“Also.” One Flower Sword Venerable nodded.

“If this continues, Guide Liang will become the new Soul Regenerating Demon Sovereign. Qing Xian would have missed the chance to become a Demon Sovereign.” I said.

Situ Zhong set out the wine and food and turned to leave. I purposely sped up my speech, while he purposely slowed down his pace, wanting to hear more of the content.

That information, it was enough. He should have heard, everything he wanted to know.

I’m sure he’ll find a way to convince Qing Xian to worship Sect Leader Feng Tian. He would never stand by and watch, his beloved, lose the chance to become a Demon Sovereign.

Only after Situ Zhong left did One Flower Sword Venerable ask, “Why do you want me to do all this?”

“Did you know that Mr. Szeto and Green Fairy were lovers?” I asked.

“Stuart Bell? I don’t know.” One Flower Sword Honored One said in surprise.

“You may not know that, according to my Yellow Springs Pavilion investigation, Mr. Situ, is an ambitious man who may want to control you.” I warned.

I didn’t tell her that Stuart Bell liked her.

“I probably know.” Swordsman Ichika said.

“I was worried that he would turn against you, so I’ve been secretly observing him, which led me to realize that he and Qing Xian are lovers. I happen to need to capitalize on this matter, which is why I asked for your help.” I explained.

“I see, thanks for telling me.” One Flower Sword Venerable said.

“I should be the one to thank you. Please don’t show any abnormality for now, and continue to treat Mr. Szeto as usual.” I said.

“Okay.” One Flower Sword Venerable agreed.

To repay her for her help this time, I decided, to fulfill her greatest wish.

“In a few days, let’s cut a deal.” I said.

“I’m looking forward to it.” Swordsman Ichika said with a smile.

To be honest, I was the one who was really looking forward to it. I want to see how useful my “God’s Eye Technique” will be in a real battle.

Right now, however, I have more important things to do.

I turned around to leave, and when I reached the door, I looked back. One Flower Sword Venerable was standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.

At this moment, her humble abode no longer seemed hypocritical to me.

That night, Stuart Bell worked extra hard.

Qing Xian also felt it, a joy like no other.

The two men were sweating profusely, lying side by side on the bed.

“What’s wrong with you today?” Green Fairy asked.

“Nothing, what’s wrong?” Situ Zhong asked.

“You’re different than usual today.” Green Fairy said.

“What’s different?” Stuart Bell asked.

“I’m happy.” Green Fairy said with a smile.

Situ Zhong was indeed different from usual. He took the initiative to embrace Qing Xian in his arms and asked, “Have you been busy lately?”

“Many people hope that I can become the next Soul Regent Demon Lord.” Qing Xian said.

“What about you? Do you want to become a Soul Regenerating Demon?” Situ Zhong asked.

“Who doesn’t want to become a Demon Lord? It’s just that I’m not sure I can defeat my senior brother.” Qing Xian said.

“You must become a Soul Regenerating Demon.” Situ Zhong said in a firm tone.

“Why?” Green Fairy asked in disbelief.

“If your senior brother becomes a Soul Regenerating Demon, he won’t let you go.” Situ Zhong said.

“……”

“You just hesitated, and you know why? Because you know that your senior brother is that kind of person.” Situ Zhong said.
