Chapter 0213 – Because We Are Mine – Absolute Returns

“Regarding this matter, this pavilion will present a detailed investigation report to the Sect Leader, and if there are any new developments, we will report back to you at the first opportunity.” Sima Ming said.

Without a word, I turned around and left the Heavenly Demon Hall.

This should be the first time I met with my father and Sima Ming, but did not even say a joke. I buried my anger towards the Fairy Herb, and my anger towards Berserk in the bottom of my heart.

Father and Sima Ming watched me leave without a word.

I took my father’s teachings to heart.

My world, in the eyes of some, is also a closed world.

That’s right, I admit that it’s only my own delusion to establish a new devil’s way and destroy all the evils in the world.

That night, I went alone to the top of the Power Devil Cliff.

I followed the example of the power demon and looked up at the looming cliff face.

I clenched my fists and poured my inner strength into them.

“Hoo-“

A powerful air current surrounded my fist, as if even the clouds in the sky were attracted to me.

I was about to swing and blast the cliff face, but stopped at the last moment.

I know that I am not in a position to destroy it now. There is only one chance in my life that will allow me to blast it to pieces without a care in the world.

At that moment, a familiar voice came from behind me.

“You couldn’t hurt it even if you broke your fist right now.”

I turned around and saw the power demon walking towards me.

“Master!”

I excitedly greeted them. After seeing the Poison King’s boyish face, and then seeing the unruffled face and stout body of the Devil of Power, I truly felt that this was the Devil’s Cult.

The power demon’s gaze fell on my clenched fists.

He saw through my anger and intoned, “Apprentice.”

“Master, I am.”

“When you’re angry, try this, open your fist first.”

The demon of power said, opening his large bushy hands, his palms bigger than my face.

“And then what?” I asked.

“Pop!”

The power demon clapped hard.

“Clap your hands together and clench your fists again, and you’ll realize that your fists are more powerful.”

“I don’t think I need to clench my fists anymore. If the enemy is standing between my palms, what’s the difference between slapping and hitting with my fists?”

Even the Devil of Power told me to open my fists, so it was clear that my anger was already hard to contain. I took his teachings to heart.

I poured out all those complaints that I couldn’t say out to my father and Sima Ming to the Power Demon.

“I used to think that you stood here to destroy this cliff face.”

“Isn’t it?”

“You only come here to stand when you’re angry, right?”

The Power Demon couldn’t help but laugh out loud when I said what was on his mind.

After I bid farewell to the Power Demon, I turned around and left the Power Demon Cliff. As I walked along, my arms were open as if I wanted to embrace the entire world.

The next day, I went to the Forest of a Thousand Poisons as usual.

The Poison King was carrying a bamboo basket and gathering poison in the woods near the house.

“About that incident …… that happened yesterday,” the Poison King snaps, just as I open my mouth.

“It’s ‘Berserk’, isn’t it?”

The Poison King even knew about the drug “Berserk”, and also knew that the Yang Hua House tragedy was caused by “Berserk”.

“You already knew?” I asked in surprise.

“Of course, those poisoner disciples of mine are spread all over the world, specializing in collecting various poisonous herbs and poisons for me. Those people from the Evil Dao Alliance also have to go around collecting herbs in order to refine poisons, so we know their movements like the back of our hands.”

The Poison King frowned and said:

“I warned them before not to refine that kind of harmful stuff.”

“Do you know who is making ‘Berserk’?”

“Of course I know, it’s a dumbass named True Poison Junkie.”

True Poison Jushi was a renowned expert in using poison in the jianghu, and had a certain status in the evil path. It seemed that the Poison King was very disdainful of this True Poison Jushi.

“People who use poison should also have their own bottom line, and for him to do so is simply self-defeating!”

“It was because of his self-indulgence that he killed so many innocent people. I saw with my own eyes that a mother held her child tightly until her death. In the investigation report of this faction, only cold numbers will be recorded, no one will care about the death of this mother and daughter at all. If their souls could see all this, that child would have asked her mother, ‘Why does no one care about our deaths?'”

The Poison King ignored my words and stared intently at a poisonous insect on the trunk of a tree. I was no longer angry; I realized that he was just living his life in his own way, just like I was.

“What’s the name of that junkie?” I asked.

I tried to step into his world and he pulled me back into mine.

“What will you change by avenging them?”

“I remember, that poisonous insect is called the White Dot Insect, it’s a material for refining the Five Poisonous Incense, not for refining the Clear Heart Poison.”

“Revenge is nothing but self-delusion.”

We each spoke our own words, neither of us listening to the other.

“I think I’ve seen this poisonous insect somewhere, let me think ……”

“The dead are dead, and those who are alive, will continue to live.”

The Poison King raised his head and looked at me, and I looked at him, and we stared at each other in silence. This was the first time since I met him that he had gazed at me so seriously.

Then we each went back to our own worlds.

“That child is called Xiu’er, the child that mother was carrying in her arms.”

“That poisonous insect is called the White Dot Insect, it’s a material for refining the Five Poison Incense, not for refining the Clear Heart Poison.”

The Poison King suddenly put away his cynical attitude and asked me seriously, “Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?”

“If I tell you, you will call me pedantic and a righteous hypocrite. However, watching those defenseless women and children die horribly, can we really be indifferent? Can we turn a blind eye to these things just because we are members of a devilish sect? Then what difference is there between us and those moralistic hypocrites?”

The Poison King was silent.

I stopped pushing him, but clapped my hands together, got up and said, “Let’s go, we’ve got a lot of poisonous insects to catch.”

However, the Poison King didn’t move and instead sat on his butt.

I shook my head helplessly and took a seat beside him as well.

The Poison King looked at the ants coming and going on the ground and seemed to be in deep thought. I decided to continue, he was used to my chatter anyway.

“That boy has an older brother who was outside the tavern and witnessed it all. I want to tell him that I have avenged him and killed all my enemies. Those people were originally lofty and unrivaled existences, but we’re different, we’re from the Demon Sect, we can do whatever we want.”

With his head still lowered, the Poison King looked at the ants on the ground and said faintly, “You’re really a strange person.”

“You must not support me, or I will be the next Heavenly Devil.”

“I won’t support you even if I die.”

However, the truly strange person was the Poison King, for he added next:

“Do I have to learn five barks before you’ll stop?”
