Chapter 0205 – The Way Back – The Absolute Return

These two men with very different personalities have become best friends, venturing out into the world and weathering the storm together.

They are fearless and unbeatable.

They were like Sword Wuji and the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon, trusting and relying on each other.

At night, they sat around the campfire, drinking, eating and talking.

Perhaps, Demon Kwon is now reminiscing about those days, too?

“Master, I still have wine here.” Sword Wuji said, taking out a jug of wine from his parcel and pouring a cup for Quan Demon.

The two men raised their glasses and shared a drink.

“When traveling, the return is more important than the departure.” Jian Wuji suddenly said.

“Why?” Demon of Power asked in disbelief.

“Master, do you know where the journey ends?” Jian Wu Ji asked with a smile, “It’s at the moment when you open the door to your room, return home, lie down on your bed, and say ‘I’m finally back’. So, we are now running towards the end, which is even more important than when we set out.”

Devil Quan looked at Jian Wuji, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

“Why do you know this?”

Jian Wuji’s life was one long journey, but he didn’t have a home to go back to.

His former home was the courtyard of the Ghost Spirit. When he returned to Ghost Spirit’s courtyard with the materials for refining the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, he had a brief moment of peace in his heart.

“Master, I’m really happy to be traveling with you this time.” Jian Wuji said sincerely.

He liked to get along with people like Quan Demon who were quiet and had a calm personality. Although he had now become lively and cheerful and could speak well, in his bones, he was actually very similar to Quan Demon.

“Master, after you go back, you should participate less in the Iron Fist Hall’s training.” Jian Wuji suggested.

Devil Quan seemed to have the exact same intention and asked, “How about attending the training of only one hall per day? For example, today go to the Hundred Fist Hall, and tomorrow go to the Green Fist Hall.”

“No, this way you will have to go to the Iron Fist Hall every day.” Jian Wuji shook his head, “How about this, you will still patrol the four halls every day as usual, but you will only attend training once every five days.”

“Five days?”

“For the remaining four days, you do what you want to do and keep the time to yourself.”

“What about late night practice parties?”

“That you feel free to go if you want to, or rest if you don’t.”

The power demon nodded, the trip had given him a new perspective on life.

……

Early in the morning of the next day, the two of them set off again and sped along, finally returning to the Heavenly Devil Sect.

……

After Jian Wuji returned to the Heavenly Demon Sect, he went to pay his respects to the Heavenly Demon Sect Master.

At this time, the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader was inspecting the work at the blacksmith workshop.

The Heavenly Demon Sect’s blacksmith workshop was the largest blacksmith workshop in the Jianghu.

Hundreds of bare-chested men, sweating profusely, forged all sorts of weapons by the blazing furnace fire.

“The clanking of the iron is a constant sound.

Jian Wuji liked this kind of sound, which contained the cruelty and fierceness of swords, life and death combat.

Seeing Jian Wuji, the hans who were working stopped what they were doing and saluted him.

Jian Wuji nodded slightly and returned their greeting before walking straight towards the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader.

The Heavenly Demon Sect Master was discussing the drawings of the new style of weapons with Master Guo, the head of the blacksmith workshop.

Master Guo was the chief blacksmith of the Heavenly Devil Sect, and the weapons he created, which were incredibly sharp and indestructible, had a great reputation in the Jianghu.

Whenever Master Guo created a new weapon, he would first take it to the Heavenly Demon Sect Master for his opinion.

Jian Wuji did not disturb them, but stood quietly on the side, waiting for their conversation to end.

The weapons of the Heavenly Devil Sect would be renewed and replaced every few years, and every time they were renewed and replaced, they would cause a sensation in the Jianghu.

All disciples of the Heavenly Devil Sect could receive the new style of weapons for free, and, they could also choose to use other weapons according to their own preferences.

However, most of the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples, preferred to use the Heavenly Demon Sect’s own crafted weapons, as these weapons, were of superior quality and powerful.

“Wuji, you’re back.” When the Heavenly Demon Sect Master saw Jian Wuji, he said with a smile.

“Child has returned.” Jian Wuji bowed respectfully.

“Where’s the power demon?”

“He’ll be here later.”

“You didn’t come back together?”

“Master said he wanted to compete with me in lightness.”

Jian Wuji paused and said, “Child has already worshipped the Devil of Power as his master.”

When the Heavenly Demon Sect Master heard this, his footsteps slightly lurched and he turned his head to look at Jian Wuji.

Jian Wuji was a little nervous in his heart, he didn’t know how the Heavenly Demon Sect Master would react.

Is it anger? Or happy?

The mind of the Heavenly Demon Sect Master was unfathomable, and Jian Wuji was never able to completely see through him.

“What fist technique have you learned?” The Heavenly Demon Sect Leader asked.

“Child has learned the first six stances of the ‘Thunderbolt Shura Fist’.”

“Devil Quan is really generous, to the extent that he even imparted the ‘Thunderbolt Shura Fist’ to you.” The Heavenly Demon Sect Master said with a smirk, “It seems that he doesn’t know your nature yet. He should have looked at your performance before deciding whether or not to impart the next two styles to you.”

“Father, Master, his old man also has good intentions, so don’t make fun of him.” Jian Wuji said with a smile.

The two of them talked as they walked towards the Heavenly Demon Hall.

“Father, my child has a request.” Jian Wuji suddenly said.

“What is it?”

“My child wants to kill the second-in-command of the Evil Dao Alliance, Yelu Han.”

When the Heavenly Demon Sect Master heard this, his face sank and he said angrily, “Nonsense!”

“Father, child ……”

“Don’t mention this matter again!” The Heavenly Demon Sect Master said in a resolute tone, “If you dare to bring up this matter again, don’t blame my father for not remembering the love between father and son!”

Jian Wuji wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the Heavenly Demon Sect Master.

“Well, that’s the end of the matter, don’t say any more.”

After the Heavenly Demon Sect Master finished speaking, he turned around and left, no longer paying attention to Jian Wuji.

Jian Wuji looked at the departing back of the Heavenly Demon Sect Master, his heart filled with helplessness and disappointment.

He knew that it would never be easy to convince the Heavenly Demon Sect Master.

Perhaps, it’s harder than killing Jehan.

……

“Gongzi, what should we do now?” Gao Yue asked.

“Let’s wait for now.” Jian Wuji said, “I believe that there will always be a way.”

……

A few days later, the power demon returned.

“Sect Leader, I have already found out clearly that the mastermind behind the ‘Golden Pig’ is surprisingly …… ” Quan Demon said.

“Who is it?” The Heavenly Demon Sect Leader asked.

“It’s ……” Quan Demon took a deep breath and slowly uttered a name.
