Chapter 0271 – Stupidity – The Absolute Return

The sun was setting in the west, and the golden afterglow sprinkled down on Thousand Flowers Sect, gilding the green bricks and tiles with a layer of warm color. Thousand Flowers Sect Master Xu Baichong stood in front of the window with his hands in the air, his eyes gazing into the distance.</p>

On the martial arts field, the disciples were sparring with each other, and bright laughter came from time to time, a peaceful scene.</p>

Some time had passed since his son was rescued, but there was no movement on the side of the Demon Cult, which made Xu Bai Chong secretly sigh in his heart, "It’s really powerful!"</p>

The figure of the bucket-hatted guest that day surfaced in his mind. Although he was convinced that the other party was able to save his son in the first place, it was still out of his expectation to settle the matter so cleanly.</p>

Now, Xu Bai Chong understood that the days of wavering between the righteous and evil paths were over. Since he had taken on the love of the righteous path, then next, it was time to join hands with them. Of course, how he could maximize the benefits of the Thousand Flower Sect in this cooperation was something he needed to think carefully about.</p>

In the middle of his thoughts, his beloved Liu Meng walked in quickly.</p>

"Sect Master, you’re looking for me?"</p>

Xu Bai Chong turned to look at Liu Meng, a flash of light flashed in his eyes as he commanded, "You will send this invitation to the Demon Exterminating Squad Leader, and in addition, notify all the sects that are dependent on our side, and just say ……"</p>

He’s planning to hold a party in secret.</p>

Xu Baizhong knew that the fact that he had joined forces with the righteous path would definitely cause those sects that were dependent on the Thousand Flowers Sect to be dissatisfied. In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating, he must appease these sects as soon as possible. It takes more than a day to gather people’s hearts and minds, but it only takes a split second for them to fall apart.</p>

I’m afraid that it would be difficult to convince the crowd with his personal power alone. The only way to calm those foolish hearts was to ask the Demon Destroying Squad Leader, the future Martial Arts Alliance Master Qin Xiajun, to personally intervene.</p>

"Alright, I’ll gather the people, next, it’s up to you." Xu Bai Chong secretly said in his heart.</p>

In the Hunan territory, inside the Small Sword Gang’s main helm, the gang leader Zong Dye was pacing back and forth, agitated.</p>

As the head of one of the top ten sects in Hunan, Zong Dye had never been as nervous as he was today. He drank water for a while, sipped tea for a while, sat down for a while, got up for a while, went in and out of the room, and even walked around the courtyard a few times, but he was never able to calm down.</p>

Looking at his father’s such abnormal behavior, Young Gang Master Zongtai’s heart was filled with doubts. The usually majestic father would be so nervous today, even to the point of soaking his lapel with sweat.</p>

"Father, what kind of honored guest has arrived today that has caused you to make such a fuss?"</p>

Zong Dye had long ago ordered people to send away the disciples of the gang for various reasons, and now only a few of his inner circle remained in the general helm. Obviously, he wanted to receive this honored guest in secret.</p>

"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t, knowing too much won’t do you any good. Anyway, remember, no matter what people you see later, don’t show any differences, just follow my orders."</p>

As soon as the words left his mouth, the sound of his beloved’s report came from outside the door, "Reporting to the gang master, the honored guest has arrived!"</p>

The door to the room opened and a young man came striding in.</p>

Seeing the visitor, Zongtai froze in place. He only saw that the young man had a hideous and gruesome scar on his face, and his body exuded a chilling aura of fury.</p>

"It’s a Demon Cult expert!" Zongtai said in his heart.</p>

This person was none other than the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master Bi Siyuan, and the thirteen black-robed men following him were the Demon Sect’s renowned Thirteen Demon Guards.</p>

The thirteen devil guards were scattered around the hall, their powerful auras instantly blocking off the entire space.</p>

These thirteen people alone were enough to make Zongtai feel suffocated, however, it was the last two people who walked in that truly emboldened him.</p>

The strength of these two people’s aura was so strong that it was practically hard to breathe, and even Zong Tai couldn’t help but feel weak in his legs. They were none other than the second of the Demon Sect’s seven great experts.</p>

Strange Evil, known for practicing the physical art of "Chopping Iron Man", is said to be able to crush steel swords into crumbs with his bare hands. This person’s violent character, cruel means, in the jianghu notorious, it is said that the target of his eyes, will be subjected to unimaginable torture, and ultimately in the pain of death, therefore, the jianghu people are all scared of fear.</p>

Lightning, the first fast sword master of the Magic Sect, his famous skill "Chasing Thunder Three Swords", claimed to be the fastest sword among all the fast swords of the Magic Sect. This person is quiet and no one knows what is in his heart. Rumor has it that although Lightning Flash is very fast with his sword, he is very cautious and is a rare person in the Magic Sect who is both wise and brave.</p>

It seemed that Bi Siyuan had listened to Jian Wuji’s advice and purposely invited these two terrifyingly powerful Demon Cult experts to back him up.</p>

"I, Zong Dye, Master of the Little Sword Gang, have met the Young Sect Master." Zong Dye hurriedly got up and bowed.</p>

"You’re welcome, Zong Gang Master, I’ve heard a lot about you." Bi Siyuan nodded slightly as a return greeting.</p>

He then turned and introduced them, "These two are ……"</p>

Upon hearing the names of the two, Zong Dye and Zong Tai immediately turned pale and hurriedly gave a deep salute. Strange Evil and Light Flash, these two supreme experts of the Devil Cult, had actually appeared alive in front of them!</p>

Zongtai then realized why his father was so nervous today. If he had known in advance that it was these people who had come, I’m afraid he would have been trembling in fear.</p>

"This is my canine son, Zongtai." Zong Dye pointed at Zong Tai beside him and introduced him.</p>

Zongtai forced down the fear in his heart and respectfully cupped his fists and saluted. Although his heart was apprehensive, he understood that being able to sit at the same table with these top Jianghu masters was such a rare opportunity for martial arts practitioners.</p>

"Your son is a talented and honorable man." Bi Si Yuan appreciated.</p>

"My canine son is unruly, so I hope the Young Sect Master will forgive me. Tai’er, why don’t you go serve tea?" Zong Yan commanded.</p>

Zongtai carried the tea tray and walked towards Bi Si Yuan and the others step by step.</p>

His hands trembled slightly, and even the teacup in his hands shook with him. Both Bi Siyuan and Zong Dye noticed his abnormality, but no one opened their mouths to speak. After all, in the face of the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master, as well as the two Furies, Strange Evil and Lightning Flash, how many people would be able to keep their faces unchanged?</p>

After serving the tea one by one, Zongtai silently retreated to the side and waited to see what would happen.</p>

"Please take the seat." Zongye pointed to the main seat and said respectfully.</p>

However, Bi Siyuan did not take the main seat, but instead smiled faintly and said, "Zong Gang Master, please take the seat."</p>

Although his tone was flat, it was characterized by an unquestionable majesty, as if to say, I am not here to take your position.</p>

Seeing how polite Bi Siyuan was, Zong Yan also stopped excusing himself and sat straight on the main seat.</p>

Seeing this, Bi Siyuan opened the door and said, "This time I came here, I think that Zong Gangmaster has already guessed a few things. On the matter of the Thousand Flower Sect joining forces with the Martial Arts Alliance, I wonder what the Zong Gang Master has to say about it?"</p>

Without waiting for Zong Dye to speak, Bi Siyuan continued, "These two seniors have come here not to threaten Master Zong, but to make it clear to Master Zong that from now on, the Little Sword Gang will be sheltered by my Demon Sect!"</p>

Odd Evil and Lightning Flash sniffed and just nodded slightly, not releasing any of their auras.</p>

Seeing this scene, Zong Dye sighed in his heart: worthy of being the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master, he was able to make these two fiends so obedient.</p>

"I don’t know if Master Zong intends to continue to follow the righteous path, or ……" Bi Si Yuan stared at Zong Dye with a burning gaze, waiting for his answer.</p>

"Truth be told, I don’t have any favorable feelings towards the righteous path, and it can even be said that the moment I hear the word ‘righteous path’, I feel uncomfortable. The reason why I chose to attach myself to the Thousand Flower Sect before was nothing more than to utilize their power to avoid the sharp edges of the Demon Sect." Zong Dye thought for a moment and slowly said.</p>

"The Hunan realm has been a place where the forces of the Devil Cult have been entrenched since ancient times. My Little Sword Gang chose to attach to the Thousand Flowers Sect, also to avoid becoming a thorn in the side of the Devil Sect."</p>

Hearing this, a flash of light flashed in Bi Siyuan’s eyes, and he said in a firm tone, "Don’t worry, Master Zong, from now on, my Demon Cult will be the strongest backing for your gang, and any force that dares to enter, my Demon Cult will definitely make it pay a painful price!"</p>

"But …… if the Thousand Blossoms Sect is angry at us, what should we do?" Zong Dye’s face showed a worried expression.</p>

"If the Thousand Flower Sect doesn’t know what’s good for them, my Demon Sect will naturally not stand by and watch!" Bi Siyuan’s tone was stern and his eyes showed his killing intent.</p>

Zong Dye looked up at Bi Si Yuan, secretly admiring his son’s vision in his heart. This Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master was indeed a character!</p>

"Is the Young Preceptor serious about this?"</p>
