Chapter 0276 – Beyond Victory and Loss – Absolute Return

"Two seniors, please sit down."</p>

Jian Wuji greeted the two seniors and sat down before personally pouring wine for them.</p>

"Thank you, Young Lord."</p>

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon and the Fist Demon were not polite, and they picked up their wine cups and drank it all in one go.</p>

"Two seniors, it’s thanks to you guys that things went so smoothly this time." Jian Wuji said with a smile.</p>

"Young Lord is polite, this is all what we should do." The Blood Sky Blade Demon said.</p>

"Yes, Young Lord, if you have any orders, just ask." Fist Demon also said.</p>

Jian Wuji was touched in his heart, he knew that these two seniors, were sincerely trying to help themselves.</p>

"Two seniors, I’ll toast you."</p>

Jian Wuji raised his wine cup and drank it down once again.</p>

"Young Lord, what are you going to do next?"</p>

After putting down the wine cup, the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon asked.</p>

"I’m going to make a trip to the Jiangxi Branch Rudder." Jian Wuji said.</p>

This time out, his goal, is to patrol the two major rudiments of Hunan and Jiangxi, now that the matter of Hunan rudiments has been dealt with, the next step, naturally, is to go to Jiangxi rudiments.</p>

"Jiangxi Branch Rudder Master, you must be fidgeting right now." The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said with a smile.</p>

The Hunan Sect Master was killed, as was the Thousand Flowers Sect Master, and it was natural for the Jiangxi Sect Master to be scared when he heard the news.</p>

"If he hasn’t done anything wrong, naturally he doesn’t need to be afraid." Jian Wuji said indifferently.</p>

"Even if he hasn’t done anything wrong, he would still be afraid." The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said, "After all, you, Young Lord, are known to be a resolute killer."</p>

"Senior, please don’t make fun of me." Jian Wuji said helplessly.</p>

Although he was decisive in killing, he was not a person who killed innocents indiscriminately.</p>

"Young Lord, there’s one more thing we need to take care of before we go to the Jiangxi Branch Rudder."</p>

Jian Wuji suddenly said.</p>

"What is it?"</p>

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon and the Fist Demon both looked at Jian Wuji curiously.</p>

"I’m going to find that black hand behind the scenes." Jian Wuji said.</p>

He was referring to the person who had secretly helped Xu Bai Chong and contacted the Martial Arts Alliance.</p>

"That intermediary between the Thousand Flower Sect Master and Qin Xiajun?" The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon asked.</p>

"That’s right." Jian Wu Ji nodded, "I suspect that he doesn’t just want to help Xu Bai Chong, he has a bigger plot."</p>

"Young Lord, how do you plan to find him?" Fist Demon asked.</p>

"I already have a plan." Jian Wuji smiled mysteriously and said.</p>

After Qin Xiajun returned to the division, he went straight to Master Bo Qianjing’s residence.</p>

"Master, disciple is back."</p>

Bo Qianjing was carving puppets, and when he heard Qin Xiajun’s voice, he said without lifting his head, "Back?"</p>

"Yes, Master."</p>

Qin Xiajun stood aside, quietly waiting for his master’s instructions.</p>

"How did it go?" Burqian Mirror asked.</p>

"Disciple is incompetent and failed to fulfill Master’s mandate." Qin Xiajun said in shame.</p>

"Oh? What’s going on?" Bo Qianjing finally put down the carving knife in his hand, raised his head, looked at Qin Xiajun, and asked.</p>

Qin Xiajun recounted what had happened in detail to Bo Qianjing.</p>

"So, you’ve given up on the Thousand Flower Sect?" Bo Qianjing asked.</p>

"Yes, Master." Qin Xiajun nodded, "Disciple realizes that I have made a mistake."</p>

"What mistake?"</p>

"Disciple was too hasty, only thinking of annexing the Thousand Flower Sect and growing the strength of the Martial Alliance, but ignoring the importance of the hearts of the people." Qin Xiajun said, "Disciple now understands that in order to become a Martial Alliance Master, one must not only have strength, but also a benevolent heart."</p>

"It’s good that you can understand this." Bo Qianjing nodded and said, "You didn’t complete the mission this time, but it wasn’t for nothing. You have learned a lesson from this failure, which is more important than anything else."</p>

"Many thanks for Master’s teachings." Qin Xiajun said respectfully.</p>

"Alright, go down and rest." Burqian Mirror said.</p>

"Yes, Master."</p>

Qin Xiajun turned to leave, but his mind was still filled with doubts.</p>

He always felt that Master didn’t seem to be surprised by this matter, and was even a bit happy about it.</p>

"Master, what are you thinking?"</p>

Qin Xiajun thought darkly in his heart.</p>

"Young Lord, they took the bait."</p>

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said with a smile.</p>

"Very well." Jian Wuji nodded, "Let’s go and meet them."</p>

After Jian Wuji and the others left the Hunan Rudder, they went straight to a teahouse called "Listening to Rain".</p>

Listening to the Rain Garden, is a famous intelligence center in the jianghu, as long as you are willing to pay money, there is no news that they can’t find out.</p>

The purpose of Jian Wuji’s trip was precisely to spy on a person.</p>

The man’s name was "Bakchikyo".</p>

Bo Qianjing, was the former head of the Martial Arts Alliance, Qin Xiajun’s grandfather.</p>

Jian Wuji wanted to know what exactly Bo Qianjing was planning.</p>

He had a premonition that there was a huge conspiracy hidden behind Bo Qianjing!
