Chapter 0286 – The Truth Comes Out – The Absolute Return

"This is it, this is where Miss Qin and I parted ways." Li An pointed at the end of the path and said.</p>

"Then, Miss Qin headed that way."</p>

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon and the Fist Demon listened quietly, and in order to avoid being recognized, they both wore bucket hats to hide their faces, and even the Heavenly Exterminating Sword was wrapped tightly in white cloth. Fortunately, this area was sparsely populated, and they did not encounter anyone else.</p>

After listening to Li An’s narration, the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon’s first words were:</p>

"Let him work it out alone, we’d be doing a disservice by interfering."</p>

This was what he had said about Jian Wuji, but his actions were diametrically opposed to his words.</p>

"It shouldn’t be much help, but let’s go check it out in case there’s anything we can do to help."</p>

The Fist Demon was silent as always, just silently following behind the Blood Sky Blade Demon.</p>

The Fist Demon began to carefully search the surrounding area for clues, while the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon quietly observed from the sidelines. Li An Xin was puzzled as to why the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon didn’t search himself, but let the Fist Demon do it.</p>

"This should be where she was taken." Fist Demon said, pointing to a trace on the ground.</p>

"How do you know?" Liam asked.</p>

If it were normal, she wouldn’t have dared to speak to the fist demon at all, but since attending the late-night practice party together, her fear of the fist demon had lessened quite a bit.</p>

Truly the world was unpredictable, and of the eight great demons, the one she was least afraid of was actually the most ferocious-looking Fist Demon!</p>

"Look at the footprints on the ground." Fist Demon said, pointing to a mark on the ground.</p>

Li An looked closely and realized that there were indeed some faint footprints on the ground, which she wouldn’t have noticed if not for the Fist Demon’s reminder.</p>

"How do you notice these details?" Liam asked.</p>

"When I was young, I used to be quite interested in the art of tracking." Fist Demon said.</p>

"If he hadn’t become a Demon Sovereign, he might have become the number one tracking expert in the world." The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon added from the side.</p>

Li An looked at the lanky Boxing Demon and couldn’t associate him with the term "tracking master".</p>

"It seems that the position of Demon Dignitary is not something that can be obtained easily." Li An Xin secretly said.</p>

The eight Devil Elders, under the Heavenly Devil, were the highest ranking existences in the Devil Cult, and each of them possessed strength that was enough to shake the martial arts world. Although Sword Wuji had outstanding talent, if he were to face any of the Devil Elders alone, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to win.</p>

"The person who took her seems to be very confident and didn’t deliberately hide his tracks." Fist Demon said, "Follow me."</p>

"Lead the way in front." The Blood Sky Blade Demon said.</p>

The three of them tracked their way along the direction that the Fist Demon had guided them.</p>

As the tracking went deeper, the Fist Demon’s speed became slower and slower, after all, he hadn’t used the tracking technique for a long time, and it wasn’t easy to return to the level of that year.</p>

Just as they were about to give up, Fist Demon suddenly stopped.</p>

He found a sign of vandalism, obviously someone had crossed it.</p>

"It’s Wuji." The Blood Sky Blade Demon said.</p>

Those were the traces left by Jian Wuji on purpose.</p>

"This brat, he’s really good at making things happen." Although the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon grumbled on his lips, a pleased smile appeared on his face.</p>

Li An knew that although the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said on his lips that he would let Jian Wuji go alone to solve the problem, in his heart, he was still very worried about Jian Wuji’s safety.</p>

Even the Fist Demon, who had always been quiet, was willing to perform the tracking technique he had practiced when he was young in order to find Jian Wuji.</p>

Li An Xin was both touched and envious, and she hoped that one day, she would also have a friend like Jian Wu Ji, who was trustworthy and worth relying on.</p>

Jian Wu Ji not only taught her martial arts, but also how to get along with people and how to build trust.</p>

"Let’s go after him." Liam said with a smile.</p>

The three of them picked up speed and headed deeper into the forest.</p>

"How did you find this place?" Burqian Mirror asked with a feigned calmness, but in his heart, waves of shock were set off.</p>

Jian Wuji’s appearance was completely unexpected, this was a secret stronghold that he had carefully chosen and had never been discovered. Of course, over the years, there had been some woodcutters who had mistakenly entered this place, but they had all ended up dying here, and no one had been able to leave alive.</p>

"I threw the shoe into the air and asked it to point me in the right direction, and as a result, it pointed here." Jian Wuji said with a smile.</p>

"A bunch of nonsense!" Bo Qianjing snorted coldly, "Don’t you dare play God here!"</p>

Jian Wuji’s gaze, tightly fixed on Bo Qianjing, asked, "Who exactly are you? Why did you take Miss Qin captive?"</p>

"I’ve already said that I’ll do whatever it takes to achieve my goal." Bo Qianjing said.</p>

The surrounding wooden sculptures began to emit an increasingly powerful aura, and it was clear that Bo Qianjing’s emotions were gradually spiraling out of control.</p>

"Where is Miss Qin now?" Jian Wuji asked.</p>

"Charing she’s fine." Burqian Mirror said.</p>

"You are not qualified to call her by her name!" Jian Wuji said angrily.</p>

"Qualified? I’ve seen too many people who claim to have qualifications, but I’ve never seen many who actually have them, have you? What qualifications do you have to question me?" Bo Qianjing asked rhetorically.</p>

"Of course I am qualified." Jian Wuji said, "I’m the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master who came to save the granddaughter of the Martial Union Lord, have you seen him? What qualifications does someone like me not have?"</p>

When Bo Qianjing heard this, he let out a cold laugh and said, "Do you think that you are still the same brat that you could play around with at will back then? Do you think, you can still use flowery words like last time, to fool the Alliance Master and escape?"</p>

Jian Wuji had expected that Bo Qianjing would not be easily fooled, after all, he was the one who had allowed himself to advance his plans.</p>

"Why on earth would you do that? Now, can you tell me?" Jian Wuji asked.</p>

"Since you mentioned qualifications, let me see if you are qualified to know the truth." Bo Qianjing said.</p>

As soon as his words fell, the ten wooden sculptures around Jian Wuji suddenly changed.</p>

"Swish Swish Swish ……"</p>

Those ten wooden carvings, surprisingly, began to expand and grow larger, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into ten giants that were about ten feet tall.</p>

They were holding weapons, lifelike and creepy as if they were real people.</p>

Their weapons, too, were made of wood, but the blade portion, however, shone with a cold light, sharper than any sharp edge.</p>

This is the legendary "Wooden Thousand Souls Technique"!</p>

Although Jian Wuji had prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked to see this scene with his own eyes.</p>

When Bo Qianjing saw Jian Wuji’s expression, his heart was both surprised and pleased.</p>

"You’re surprisingly not afraid?" Burqian Mirror asked.</p>

A wooden sculpture that could become life-size and move freely, this was beyond the knowledge of normal people, and Jian Wuji was still so calm? Could it be because he had been exposed to all sorts of demonic techniques since he was a child, so he was not surprised?</p>
