Chapter 0099 – When the Journey Returns – Absolute Returns

After leaving the Valley of Evil, I headed straight to the Southern Dao Sect, where the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon resided.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I saw that Xi Dalong was practicing diligently there. When he saw the white mask hanging around my waist, he immediately turned pale with fear and exclaimed, “Sect master, you …… you didn’t kill the extremely evil evil demon as well, did you?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xidalong realized that he had slipped up and hastily covered his mouth with his hand.

“What do you say? How could I possibly keep an evil demon like him alive?” I deliberately made a stern face and said in a cold voice.

“That’s good, that’s …… good,” Xi Dalong sniffed, took a long breath, put down the hand covering his mouth, and his face showed a relieved expression.

“But I’ve killed him, by my own admission!” I said again in an aggravated tone.

“You speak evil, Sect Master,” Xi Da Long shook his head evilly, “How could you do such a stupid thing? To kill someone to silence them, and to carry the murder weapon on your person, isn’t this not throwing yourself into the net?”

“Why are you asking more questions when you know I won’t do that?” I asked back with a smile.

“My subordinate was just in a moment of haste and spoke out of turn, please forgive me, Sect Master.” Xi Da Long hurriedly bowed and apologized.

“Well, get up,” I said as I waved my hand and pointed to the mask at my waist, “This mask, a gift from the Very Evil Evil Demon.”

“What? A gift from the Extremely Evil Evil Demon to you?” When Xi Daolong heard this, his eyes widened with incredulity.

“That’s right, he personally bought this mask in the Demon Family Village and gave it to me.” I said with a smile.

“This …… this is too unbelievable, right?” Xi Da Long muttered, “How would a person like the Extremely Evil Evil Demon carry silver with him? If he wants something, wouldn’t it be better to just do it and snatch it? Sect Master, you must be careful, in this, there might be some conspiracy!”

“Lord West, have you forgotten? Things are unpredictable, people’s hearts are unpredictable,” I patted his shoulder and said in a serious tone, “Thinking about when we first met, did you and I ever think that we would be in this situation today?”

“Yes, when I think about it, my subordinate was tricked into the Yellow Springs Pavilion by you, Sect Master, in just a few words, and since then I have been living a life of cultivation in the darkness of the world …… ” Xidalong said here, and couldn’t help but sigh, and his face was filled with bitterness.

“Hahaha, don’t worry, Nishi-sama, one day you’ll thank me for the harsh training I gave you today.” I said with a smile.

“I hope so.” Cidaurus shook his head with a bitter smile, clearly not believing me on this.

I looked at Xidalong’s sad face and secretly felt good and evil in my heart.

Things are unpredictable, and who can say what will happen in the future?

Perhaps, as I said, someday he will thank me for the harsh training I gave him today.

I bid farewell to Xi Da Long and walked into the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon’s room.

Only the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon was standing in front of the bookshelf, organizing the books.

“You kid, can’t you stop for a while? Be careful of pissing off those old monsters one day and getting your head chopped off!” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon said without turning his head back, a hint of anger in his tone.

“Elder said evil, haven’t I come to bid you farewell?” I said with a smile, then took off the white mask on my head.

“You kid, what are you up to again?” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon turned around and looked at the mask in my hand, his brows furrowing slightly.

“It’s a gift from the Very Evil Evil to me.” I explained.

“What did he give you the mask for?” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon asked in disbelief.

“I’m not sure,” I shrugged, “Maybe, he wanted me to wear this mask to scare the righteous people.”

“Hmph, can’t I see his little mind?” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon snorted coldly, “He’s just trying to use you to root out dissidents for your brother.”

“I know,” I nodded, “but I’ve promised him that I’ll help him remove the ban, so I have to keep my word.”

“You, you just trust others too easily.” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon sighed, a hint of helplessness in his tone.

“Elder, I came here this time to ask you to do me a favor.” I said.

“What favor?” Blood Heavenly Dao Demon asked.

“I will be leaving the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect tomorrow with the Extremely Evil Evil Demon, so please take care of the affairs within the sect during this time.” I said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon nodded and agreed to my request.

“Also, please give my regards to Senior Sword Venerable, and tell him that I’m too busy to visit him this time.” I said.

“You kid, you’re really good at making things happen.” Although the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon said this on his lips, he still agreed to my request.

“Then thank you, senior.” I said with a smile before turning around and leaving the room.

The reason why I asked the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon to send my regards to the One Flower Sword Venerable on my behalf was because I hoped that the two of them could take this opportunity to resolve their grudges against each other.

I know that both of them, in fact, are knife mouth and bean curd heart, just in the way of face, only refused to take the initiative to the other side to show good.

I’m sure that if we give them a leg up, they’ll put the ice on their relationship and get back together.

“Wait!” Just as I was about to walk out of the room, the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon suddenly called out to me.

“Senpai, is there anything else?” I turned around and asked.

“Do you really intend, to bring the Extremely Evil Evil Demon to our side?” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon asked, a hint of worry in his tone.

“I can’t promise that it will work,” I shook my head, “but I’ll do my best to try.”

“Why are you doing this?” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon asked in disbelief, “He’s a ruthless devil, aren’t you afraid that, he’ll bite you back?”

“I know that he is dangerous,” I nodded, “but I also know that he is a very capable person. If he can be brought together, it will be a great help to the Heavenly Demon God Sect.”

“You’re too naive,” the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon shook his head, “Do you think that he would really help you sincerely? He is merely trying to use you to root out dissidents for your brother.”

“I know that he has another agenda,” I nodded, “but I’m sure that as long as I can keep him under control, he won’t be a threat to me.”

“You are too confident.” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon sighed, “I hope, you won’t regret your decision today.”

“Don’t worry senior, I have it in mind.” I said with a smile before turning around and leaving the room.

The reason why I took the risk of pulling in the Extremely Evil Evil Demon was because I knew that he was an unrivaled talent.

His strength, his intelligence, his tactics, are all I need.

I believe that as long as I can harness him, he will be in my hands, the sharpest of blades.

“Wait!” Just as I was about to walk out of the room, the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon called out to me once again.

“Senpai, is there anything else?” I turned around and asked.

“This, you take it.” The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon said, taking down a book from the shelf and handing it to me.
