Chapter 0161 – Undercurrents – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

I distinctly felt two very different temperaments.

If his father’s pressure was like falling into a bottomless abyss, chilling the entire body and stagnating the true qi, as if he was going to suffocate and die in the next moment; then at this moment, the martial arts alliance master – the strong man that everyone in the jianghu feared, the aura that he exuded was like a raging storm that suddenly descended on a pitch-black sea.

Faced with this pressure that seemed to devour me, I clenched my teeth and tried my best to resist. The wind was howling furiously, and the waves were so huge that I was like a flat boat in the storm, being thrown up to the tip of the waves, and then being mercilessly slapped into the deep sea.

My body instinctively wanted to resist, and all the supreme martial arts cultivated within my body seemed to feel threatened and stirred at this moment.

"Battle with one! Tear apart this mighty pressure! Punch through this furious wave!" In my mind, it was as if I heard the hissing of The Wind God Steps as it egged me on, tempting me.

However, I knew deep down that this moment was not the time to tear my face off with the Martial Arts Alliance. I resisted the urge to strike and did my best to resist this suffocating pressure. Just like that match with my father back at the inn, simply enduring this pressure was enough to benefit me.

My persistence also seemed to be out of the Martial Alliance’s expectations, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he looked at me.

At the same time, that pressure became even more violent. The sea, which was originally stormy, was now filled with thunder and lightning, with channels of thick lightning tearing through the night sky, stirring the already rough sea into even more frenzy. The martial arts alliance master’s aura was like the might of the heavens, causing fear in the heart.

So, this is the strength of a martial arts ally? So domineering, so strong! Perhaps, father’s insistence on unifying the jiangsu was because of his existence? With such a powerful opponent, father could never rest on his laurels.

My consciousness began to blur, and my resistance gradually became too weak. If this continued, I only had two choices: either give up resisting and let this pressure crush me, or turn around and flee, ending this meeting in the most humiliating way possible.

That’s when I saw it.

A pair of eyes.

A pair of huge, unimaginable eyes were looking down on me from above.

It was a huge demonic creature, and even though I couldn’t see the whole thing, I was certain that it was the one I had seen in the scrolls – the Heavenly Demon Soul!

I obviously haven’t started practicing the Nine Wonders Magic Skills yet, so why did I see the visions of the Heavenly Demon Soul?

The huge Heavenly Demon Soul stood on the stormy sea, it was like an invisible wall, blocking the suffocating pressure for me. It looked down at me, its eyes complex and indistinguishable, with contempt, nostalgia, and pity, yet as if there was nothing.

Gradually, the illusion of the Heavenly Demon Soul dissipated.

And the pressure that was almost devouring me disappeared without a trace. Not far away, the Martial Alliance Master was looking at me with a stunned expression, obviously, my persistence was also out of his expectation.

I was in a terrible state at the moment, if it wasn’t for the appearance of the Heavenly Demon Soul’s illusion, which blocked that last fatal blow for me, I’m afraid that I would have already fainted to death. Although reason told me that it was just an illusion created when I was at the end of my strength, but that real feeling made me feel as if the Heavenly Demon Soul had really come.

I took a deep breath, forcing down the chi and blood that was churning in my body, and repeated what I had said before to the Martial Alliance Master.

"Only I can save your granddaughter."

This time, in the face of my words, Qin Batian did not show anger. After all, I have already proved myself with my strength.

"What do you mean by that?" He asked in a deep voice.

I decided to come clean with him about who I was.

It was something I hadn’t planned for, but I ended up making that choice because I had two powerful weapons.

The first weapon is my experience. Whether it’s from my past life or my experience of fighting against successive generations of Demon Sovereigns, it has given me enough self-confidence.

But experience alone was not enough for me to make such a risky decision. What really made my mind up was the second weapon.

My second weapon is his granddaughter, Chun Ha Ling.

Since she is inextricably linked to this matter, I believe that the Martial Alliance Master will ultimately choose to help me. Although this is a bit of a sorry for her, I have decided that I will make good use of her as a pawn. Of course, everything I do is ultimately for her good, so I believe she will understand me.

"Have you ever heard of the ‘Order of Heaven’?" I asked.

Qin Batian nodded slightly. Recently, this organization that was going around committing evil under the banner of the Demon Sect had long drawn the attention of the martial arts world, and it was naturally impossible for the Martial Arts Alliance to know nothing about it.

"By order of my father, I have been tracking down their whereabouts. Not long ago, I received news that they seem to be plotting to cause mischief at this ‘Subterranean Dragon Battle’." I said in a calm tone.

"Is the source reliable?"

"Master of the Valley of the Wicked."

Hearing this name, Qin Batian did not show too much surprise. He thought that he had also gotten the news of the Evil Man Valley Master’s death. It was just that he didn’t know what the connection was between the two events yet.

"I heard that the Valley of the Wicked changed owners."

"In order to stay alive, he revealed quite a bit of information, including this matter. That’s why I sent my men to participate in the ‘Subterranean Dragon Battle’, wanting to wipe them out."

"If that’s true, you should have informed us earlier."

"Things happen for a reason."

"What’s the reason?"

"Killing the Heaven’s Destiny Society Master is my mission for this trip down the mountain."

Hearing my reply, Qin Batian’s eyes suddenly became stern, and an invisible pressure once again came at me. Unlike the violent aura from before, this time, the pressure he released was like a warm spring breeze, wrapping me up in it, as if he wanted to see through all my disguises and judge the truth of my words.

"?? , you tell it." He turned his head to the side.

"I believe that the Order of Heaven is indeed hitting on Ms. Qin." I jumped the gun and said.

"What makes you so sure?"

"When I got the news, I only knew that the Heaven’s Destiny Society wanted to mess around with the ‘Subterranean Dragon Battle’, and I didn’t know their specific target. But after coming here, I discovered that not only did Miss Qin participate in the ‘Subterranean Dragon Battle’, but she was also the favorite to win the title. Do you think this is just a coincidence? No, they’re clearly after Ms. Qin! Perhaps, from the very beginning, they had already planned everything!"

"Even if what you say is true, I can still take care of it myself, so why should I fake it?"

"Because any intervention by anyone but me would put Ms. Qin in danger!"

As soon as my words fell, the originally warm spring breeze instantly turned into a bitter cold winter. Simply hearing that his granddaughter was in danger was enough to make this powerful man who had been in a high position for a long time angry.

"The forces of the Heaven’s Destiny Society are far more massive and terrifying than we imagined. Perhaps, even among the top echelons of our three forces, there are their minions hidden. This is also the reason why we had to utilize the Sound Transmission Technique."

I told the matter of the Evil Man Valley Lord and the Four Hundred Evil Demons of Extreme Evil defecting to the Heavenly Fate Society. The fact that even this kind of person could be bribed by them was enough to prove that their strength was not to be underestimated.

"Go check! I want to see if what you say is true or not!"

Qin Batian didn’t say anything, just looked at me quietly. In normal times, he might have dismissed my words as the devils’ plotting and scheming, but at this moment, it was about his granddaughter, so he had to be cautious.

"Right now, no one can save your granddaughter but me." I emphasized again.

I flashed my strongest weapon.

"I believe that you should have investigated my background. I don’t know what information you have gotten, but I can assure you that what I want to establish is a different demonic sect from the past. At the very least, I won’t be so despicable as to use a little girl for my own purposes."

The Demon Cult, the Martial Arts Alliance, and the Apostolic Alliance The three forces have planted countless spies on each other, and wanting to know each other’s intelligence is not a difficult task. I believe that what I did before as Yellow Springs? s actions, they would have more or less heard about it.

"Why did you save my granddaughter?"

"Because, she is your granddaughter, a wondrous woman who has gone to great lengths to protect the lives of her attendants by announcing her engagement in public. You have taught her well."

There was a bit of sincerity in these words, and a bit of deliberate flattery.

Hearing my reply, Qin Batian was silent for a moment before he suddenly took a step towards me.

"Clank!"

In a flash of cold light, a sharp long sword, was already against my neck.

"Go back and wait for news, I’ll get back to you."

"Yes, I await your reply."

I bowed respectfully to him and turned away.

I could feel that sharp gaze behind me, as if it was trying to pierce me through.

I can totally understand his skepticism. I just hope that he will make a wise choice.

Back at the inn, I found that Xu Dalong had already packed his bag and seemed ready to run at any time.

"Ah! You’re back!" Seeing me enter, he rushed to welcome me.

"What are you doing?" Looking at the pile of packages in front of me, I cried a little.

"What else can I do? Prepare to run away, of course!"

"What about me?"

"Don’t worry, I have your bags packed as well."
