Chapter 0181 – This Is Not a Climbing Cliff – Absolute Returns

“These guys’ mouths are really not tight, it seems like we need to fix them in the future.”

“Be careful, don’t steal the chicken when the time comes.”

“There’s no harm, even if they do leak out, the big deal is that I’ll just recapture them again. Anyway, there are only a few Devil Elders in total, it won’t take much effort to capture them again.”

“Who told you that there are only seven Demon Lords?”

When I heard that, I looked at her with a wry smile and asked rhetorically, “Could it be that you, Witch-sama, have decided to support me?”

The Blood Heavenly Demoness couldn’t help but laugh after hearing this. It seemed that even she herself felt that these words were somewhat contradictory.

“I won’t hide it from you, I came to you this time because of the matter of Quan Demon. Witch-sama, what do you think of this person, Quan Demon?”

“Most of those guys who only use brute force are simple-minded fools. But Quan Demon is different, he’s a smart guy, a very smart guy.”

Smart? It seems that this is the reason why the Drunken Demon told me that the Devil of Power is not easy to deal with, as well as why my father said that the two of them are not on par in terms of strength.

“Smart people can be very scary when they get serious.”

“Do you regret it? Regret that you didn’t pull him in first, but came to my old bones first?”

“How could it be? I’ve said long ago that it’s a great honor for me to have the support of the Witch-sama. Even if I were given another chance, I would choose you without hesitation!”

I know that in order to please the Blood Heavenly Demoness, sweet words are essential. Moreover, my “flattery” towards her was not false.

The reason I chose the Blood Heavenly Demoness as my right-hand man was indeed initially because of her strength and status. But as time passed, my feelings towards her gradually changed. Nowadays, I have long regarded her as my mentor and friend, and even if she wasn’t a Demon Sovereign, even if she was just an ordinary Demon Sect disciple, I wouldn’t change my opinion of her.

“Do you know why the Sect Leader honors the Power Demon so much?”

“Father, does he value the Power Demon?” I asked in mock surprise.

“Although he doesn’t say it on his lips, I’m sure that out of all the Demon Dignitaries, the one he holds in the highest regard is Demon Quan.”

“Why is that?”

“Because he’s a martial arts nerd, a total martial arts nerd.”

Hearing this, I suddenly realized. For someone like my father, who regards martial arts as his life, a pure “martial arts nerd” like Quan Demon is undoubtedly the most to his liking.

“Also, he’s a very pure martial arts nerd.”

“It’s pure and smart at the same time, and it’s quite a powerful character.”

“You boys have met your match this time.”

“Don’t worry, with you, Witch-sama, I’ll definitely be able to defeat him!”

“What do you need to say? Without my mother backing you up, your brat would have been chewed to the bone long ago!” Although her mouth said something that disliked me, I knew that she was actually worried about me.

“Witch-sama is right, without your help, I’m afraid I would have died a long time ago. Just don’t worry, I will definitely try my best!”

“Alright, alright, don’t be a smooth talker here. If you really want to thank me, hurry up and take down the Power Demon and stop bothering me.”

“Obey! When I come back to visit you next time, I will definitely bring the Power Demon along!”

“Get outta here, get outta here!”

I smiled and left the Blood Sky Demoness’s residence.

The next day, I once again came to the East Fist Sect, only to find that Quan Demon weder in the big martial arts arena, nor in the small martial arts arena. I searched the entire East Fist Sect and finally found him at a cliff edge. I surprisingly didn’t know before that there were such treacherous cliffs within the East Fist Sect.

“Good morning, Lord Power Demon!”

However, he continued to turn a deaf ear to my greetings. However, I didn’t care. The fact that he was able to allow me to freely come and go from the East Fist Sect already showed that he hadn’t completely rejected me.

I walked over to him and stood alongside him, looking up at the towering cliff face in front of me.

“I think I already know why you are being so cold to me. However, before I give my answer, can you grant me one request? That is, no matter what I say, you should not get angry. Or rather, you can be angry, but please don’t hit me with your fist.”

The Power Demon slowly turned his head and stared at me with a burning gaze. Though he didn’t speak, I saw his commitment in his eyes.

“The reason why you are so cold to me is neither to build up your prestige in front of your subordinates nor to show your support for your elder brother, but because you simply don’t want to be involved in this battle for the successor, right?”

My words seemed to have struck a chord in Quan Demon’s heart. This time, he didn’t shun me like before, but instead redirected his gaze to the distant cliff face.

When I saw this, I stopped obsessing about the right or wrong answer and looked away.

“I surprisingly didn’t know before that there was such a spectacular cliff face within the sect. If I were able to climb this cliff, I think the entire Demon Sect would be in full view, right?”

“The reason for the existence of this cliff is not for people to climb.” Demon Quan suddenly spoke.

“So what does it mean?” I asked curiously.

“It’s meant for me to use these fists and destroy it completely! One blow, just one blow!”

The tone of the Power Demon was firm and unshakable, obviously serious.

“You’re kidding, right?” I asked in surprise.

In my opinion, trying to destroy this cliff face with a single punch is simply a pie in the sky, even Quan Demon couldn’t have done it, and even father might not be able to do it.

“No, I wasn’t joking. I’ve been thinking about why my goals in life are so vague, while you have such clear goals.”

I never thought that I would be the target of a power demon.

“I’d like to join your program, if that’s okay.”

“You want to use your sword and split this cliff in half?”

“No, I want to use my fists and destroy it completely!”

This time, it was Quan Demon’s turn to be surprised. How could he not have expected that I would say such a thing?

I, on the other hand, am serious. If I can do this, then I will be able to defeat Fire Dancer Hime, and I will become a truly strong person! No, it’s not just about defeating Fire Dancer Hime, I want to challenge myself and push the limits!

I looked at the grim-faced man in front of me and said in a firm tone, “Please teach me boxing!”
