Chapter 0231 – What’s Worse Than a Wrong Life – Absolute Returns

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

"Don’t worry, I’m here." The Extremely Evil Laughing Demon said confidently.

"I believe you."

While uttering the words, my heart murmured:

Laughing Devil, I believe in you too. No matter what happens, I won’t let you die.

That’s my promise to you, and that’s what I’ll give you in return.

Chief Military Counselor Sima Ming was in the battle command room at this time.

It was said that this place was safer than the Heavenly Demon Hall. At this moment, a top secret combat meeting related to Jian Wu Ji was taking place here.

Ever since Jian Wuji left the Heavenly Demon Sect, Sima Ming had been on edge. He had to keep an eye on the development of the situation so that he could support Jian Wuji in time when necessary, and at the same time, he also had to find ways to stop the situation from worsening and avoid an all-out war between the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Holy Sect. Of course, all of these actions had to be carried out without attracting the attention of the Holy Sect.

So far, Jian Wuji’s performance had far exceeded his expectations.

Whether it was getting rid of Chi Sheng and Wabi Wabi, or forcing Lv to show up, he did it cleanly without revealing the slightest crack. Even the Tongtian Pavilion’s Head Warlord had to admit:

"If I were Yelu Han’s military advisor, I’m afraid I’d be fooled by him as well."

Sima Ming didn’t retort because he himself didn’t dare to guarantee that he would be able to retreat in one piece.

"Gao Yue’s ability is indeed not to be underestimated. The intelligence network she has established in the Central Plains not only doesn’t overlap with our Tongtian Pavilion’s intelligence network, but instead forms a good complementary relationship."

"It seems that he intends to continue reusing High Moon after becoming a Heavenly Demon."

"He has a long term vision and is not just looking out for immediate gain."

Sima Ming had a premonition: If Jian Wuji was creating a brand new demonic path, then Gao Yue would be his most capable assistant, helping him push this demonic path to the peak. By the time Jian Wuji became a Heavenly Demon, Tongtian Pavilion would also see unprecedented changes.

Just then a new piece of intelligence reached him.

The Chief Military Counselor walked into Sima Ming’s office with a grave expression.

"Word has come from the Second Prince’s side that he needs information from us on a man."

"What man?"

The Head Warlord took a deep breath, as if he was calming his agitated feelings. Obviously, what he was about to say next shocked him beyond belief.

"Five Thunder Excalibur."

Sima Ming stood up violently.

"Are you saying that Yelu Han’s men still have the Five Thunder Divine Swords?!"

They had already known about the fact that Blood Wheeljack was one of Yelu Han’s men. However, how did the Five Thunder Divine Sword get mixed up with Yelu Han?

"With the strength of the Second Prince, plus an Extremely Evil Laughing Demon, can we deal with them?"

"I’m afraid it’s difficult."

"What is the success rate of this operation?"

"Without knowing about the existence of the Five Thunder Divine Sword, our original predicted success rate was forty percent."

This was an analysis made by the Tongtian Pavilion based on Jian Wuji’s previous performance and his ability to control the situation. Although they did not know Jian Wuji’s true strength, judging from those missions he had accomplished before, his strength was definitely not to be underestimated.

"But if we count the Five Thunder Excalibur, I’m afraid the success rate is not even 20%. I’ll report back to you later with a more detailed analysis."

"20% ……"

The Tongtian Pavilion’s analysis of the battle situation had always been very accurate, and it was almost never wrong. A 20% success rate could almost be equated to failure.

"If there are other experts involved besides the Five Thunder Divine Swords, then I’m afraid the success rate won’t even be 10%."

This was by no means alarmist. Sima Ming then realized that this mission was far more dangerous than he had imagined.

"Send all the information we have, about the Five Thunder Divine Sword, to the Second Prince."

"Yes!"

Just as the Head Warlord turned around and was about to leave, Sima Ming called out to him.

"What do you personally think is the success rate of this operation?"

"Huh?"

"I’m asking you, what do you think the chances are that the Second Prince and the others will succeed?"

"This ……"

The Head Warlord was the one who understood Jian Wuji the most out of all his subordinates. He hesitated for a moment before finally uttering an unexpected answer.

"Fifty-fifty, I think."

Sima Ming froze for a moment.

"Twenty percent and fifty percent, that’s too big a difference, isn’t it?"

"It’s just my gut feeling."

"Are you saying that there is something wrong with our analyzing ability in the Tongtian Pavilion?"

"Of course not, I’m just ……"

Seeing Sima Ming’s aggressive eyes, the head military counselor hurriedly explained:

"I just think that Second Prince is not the kind of person who can be inferred by common sense. He always manages to create miracles and break all impossibilities."

Before Sima Ming could continue to pursue the question, the Head Warlord left the office as if he had fled.

Sima Ming looked at the report in his hands and fell into deep thought. Yes, Sword Wuji was the type of person that could not be deduced by common sense. Perhaps, this was the biggest thing he had in common with the Sect Leader.

Thinking of this, Sima Ming organized the report in his hands and got up to head to the Heavenly Demon Hall, ready to report the situation to the Sect Leader.
