Chapter 0224 – The Killing Chance Under the Night – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

The night is falling and the stars are shining.

The Extremely Evil Laughing Demon was lying alone on the roof, looking at the vast night sky and thinking.

He always stayed in the secret room on weekdays and seldom came out to move around, not to mention lying on the roof and looking at the stars, as he was doing now.

"Even if you look at the stars, you would only look at the white ones, right?" A familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears.

When the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon heard this, his eyes under the mask suddenly curved into the shape of a crescent moon.

"How did it go?"

"Thanks to you, all is well."

The person who spoke was none other than Jian Wuji.

The Extremely Evil Laughing Demon sat up and looked at Jian Wuji and the Poison King who walked in from outside the courtyard, a pleased smile on his face.

The Poison King was as gentle as ever, always with a warm smile on his face, making people feel like spring breeze.

However, Jian Wuji had seen how powerful the Poison King was this time. His antidote to poison could simply be described as out of this world, even the poison of the Evil Dao’s number one Poison Kung Fu expert, True Poison Jushi, could not help him.

The Poison King walked into the courtyard and saw that Sword Wuji and the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon were looking at him, so he smiled and opened his folding fan, gently shaking it.

The Extremely Evil Laughing Demon stood up and bowed towards the Poison King, "Tough job."

"No, no, no, I’m just following the plan, it’s mainly because your plan is brilliant." The Poison King said modestly.

"This time, thanks to the Poison King, otherwise, it would have been impossible for us to succeed." Jian Wuji said from the bottom of his heart.

He now finally understood why his master had placed so much importance on the Poison King, and why the people in the Jianghu would be so afraid of the Poison King.

The Poison King smiled and glanced at Jian Wuji as he asked, "Do you say that to everyone?"

Jian Wuji knew that the Poison King was deliberately teasing himself, but he still replied seriously, "Of course, I will keep talking until I meet Master."

When the Poison King heard this, undisguised joy flowed from the corners of his eyes.

He closed his folding fan and turned to walk into the room.

"Ah, after spending so much time in the dungeon, I can finally take a good look at the sky." Jian Wuji stretched his back and said with emotion.

He walked over to the extremely evil laughing demon and sat down next to him, and together they looked up at the night sky.

"I’m back."

Just then, Xu Dalong’s voice came from outside the courtyard.

He had returned from his trip to the city to buy groceries, carrying a large bag of ingredients in his hand and his arms full of a variety of fresh vegetables and meats.

"I’ll go prepare dinner, you guys wait for a moment." Xu Dalong said while walking towards the kitchen with his head lowered.

He held a long onion in his hand that covered his face, but he still didn’t dare to look up at the demon of extreme evil laughter.

"I bought quite a few fresh ingredients today, and I’ve specially learned a new dish from the restaurant’s cooks, so I guarantee you’ll be satisfied." Xu Dalong said as he quickened his pace.

Jian Wuji couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at Xu Dalong’s flustered appearance.

Xu Dalong apparently hadn’t noticed he was back yet.

"Tough luck." The Extremely Evil Laughing Demon said indifferently.

"This is what I should do." Xu Dalong hurriedly said, "By the way, I had a dream last night that the Sect Leader had returned. Sect Leader, he ah, just has this ability to make people unable to resist missing him."

"It would be better if he waited until you guys were going crazy thinking about him and then came back." Jian Wuji said with a smile.

When Xu Dalong heard this, he raised his head violently and looked at Jian Wuji in surprise.

"Godfather!"

The ingredients in his hands fell to the ground.

Jian Wuji was quick and performed the "picking up things in the air" technique, catching all the falling ingredients.

The key in the dungeon can be spaced out; the onions, ginger and garlic in the kitchen can naturally be spaced out.

Xu Dalong picked up those ingredients with his hands and feet, his face full of surprise.

If it wasn’t for the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon being present, he was afraid that he would have already pounced on Jian Wuji and given him a big hug.

"You go and tell that kid that we have avenged his death and let him live a good life." Jian Wuji said to Xu Dalong.

When Xu Dalong heard this, his nose turned sour and he almost shed a tear.

All this time he had been worried about the boy.

"Yes, I will definitely convey these words of yours to him, and tell him that this is the next Heavenly Demon’s demonic path!" Xu Dalong said excitedly.

"I’ll be in deep shit if that gets to my brother’s ears." Jian Wuji said with a smile.

Xu Dalong hurriedly changed his words, "Yes, I will definitely convey these words of yours to him, and tell him that this is the Second Duke’s demonic path!"

Jian Wuji jumped down from the roof.

"Come on, let’s eat, I’m hungry. Are you crying?"

"No, it’s just that my eyes were spiced up by the onions." Xu Dalong said, holding those ingredients and walked into the kitchen.

Before Jian Wuji walked into the room, he looked up at the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon standing on the roof.

Their gazes met in mid-air and they nodded slightly to each other.

Although the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon always ate alone, Sword Wuji would always greet the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon before every meal, just like this.

That way, he’ll feel like he’s eating with the devil of extreme evil laughter.

After dinner, High Moon and Sect Leader Windy Sky also arrived.

"Duke!"

"Second Prince!"

They were as enthusiastic as ever.

"Now, those harmful poisons shouldn’t be circulating anymore, right?" Sect Master Windsky asked.

"Thanks to the Poison King, we were able to complete our mission successfully." Jian Wuji said.

"Poison King, hard work." Sect Leader Windsky bowed his hand towards the Poison King and saluted.

"This is just a small attempt." The Poison King said modestly.

"It must be fun, right?" Sect Leader Windsky said with a smile, a hint of envy in his tone.

Jian Wuji knew that Sect Leader Feng Tian had always wanted to fight side by side with himself, and he decided that when he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely bring Sect Leader Feng Tian along with him.

After the pleasantries were exchanged, the people sat around and began to discuss their next steps.

While Sword Wuji and the Poison King were resolving Mourning Wabbit and True Poison Dweller, Gao Yue had already finished investigating his next target.

"The next target, is Lv Changsha." Gao Yue said.

"With two consecutive deaths, won’t Yelu Han get suspicious?" Jian Wuji asked.

"He’ll definitely get suspicious, but so what? So many people have witnessed Mourning Wabi and True Poison Jushi killing each other, moreover, Mourning Wabi still has the ‘Berserk’ poison left in his body, what else can he do other than believing that it was an accident?" Takayuki said confidently.

"He won’t recall the remaining two?" Jian Wuji asked.

"No, Yelu Han’s character is very strong, he definitely won’t change his plans because of outside pressure." Gao Yue said.

"What’s more, things have already happened, and he will only be thinking about finding a suitable candidate to fill the vacancy as soon as possible, rather than pursuing responsibility." Jian Wuji added.

"There are plenty of people who want to flatter him, the second-in-command of the Evil Dao Alliance isn’t something that anyone can climb up to." The Poison King said with a smile.

"By the time Lv Chang’an is also dead, Yelu Han won’t think that way anymore." Sect Leader Windsky said, "He won’t believe that this kind of coincidence will happen one after another."

"So, we must get rid of Yelu Han before he learns of Lv Chang’s death." Gao Yue said.

"Of the four great masters, what about the remaining one?" Jian Wuji asked.

"He’s been following Yelu Han, we have to get rid of them at the same time." Takayuki said.

In other words, they have to get rid of three people at the same time: Lv Bugei, Yelu Han, and the last of Yelu Han’s inner circle.

"Alright, let’s do it!" Jian Wuji agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you for your trust, I will make a detailed plan as soon as possible." Gao Yue said.

"Once Yelu Han dies, the Evil Dao Alliance will definitely suspect us." The Poison King suddenly said.
