Chapter 0304 – The Evil One – Absolute Returns

Green Fairy and I strolled through the gardens of the inner courtyard.</p>

"As I said before, I was able to become a Demon Sovereign thanks to your promotion, Young Sect Master." Qing Xian said.</p>

"Of course I’m glad you said that, but the position of Soul Regent Demon Lord is one that you earned with your strength." I said.</p>

"That’s why I’ve come to you, because I’m sure that you will help me." Qing Xian said.</p>

We came to a secluded spot and I asked, "What the hell happened?"</p>

Qing Xian wanted to speak, and seemed to have difficulty in doing so. It was hard for her to gather the courage to come to me, but she didn’t know how to speak.</p>

Is it because of a problem with the practice?</p>

Although Sect Leader Feng Tian had once instructed her, now that Sect Leader Feng Tian was not in the Heavenly Demon Sect, there was no one she could ask for advice when she encountered a difficult problem.</p>

Or ……</p>

I suddenly thought of someone – Szeto Zong.</p>

Qing Xian was silent for a long time before she finally spoke, "Before I became a Demon Sovereign, I once dated a man who was Situ Zong of the Northern Heavenly Sword Family."</p>

I know they used to date, and I used to use this incident to get her to ask the Windy Sky Sect Leader for help.</p>

In my past life, Situ Zong was controlled by a soul regeneration technique and tried to kill Swordsman Ichika, but he was killed by Swordsman Ichika instead. Later, it was discovered that Situ Zong had been secretly in love with One Flower Sword Venerable, but no one knew who used the Soul Regeneration Technique on him. Now, I realized that that person, was Qing Xian.</p>

"After I became a Demon Sovereign, I severed my relationship with him, but he kept pestering me. I originally thought that he would forget about me after a long time, but I didn’t expect that he suddenly came to me a few days ago and threatened me, saying that if I didn’t get back together with him, he would make what happened between us, public." Qing Xian said.</p>

Situ Zong, what a despicable villain, without any skills of his own, he would only use such underhanded tactics.</p>

"That was all before you became a Demon Lord, even if he told, what could he do?" I asked.</p>

Qing Xian shook her head and said, "Not only did he threaten me, but he also said he would expose the wrongdoings I had done in the past."</p>

It turned out that Qing Xian had once been instructed by Situ Zong to steal her senior brother’s fan.</p>

At that time, in order to practice the "Soul Devouring Technique", the Soul Regenerating Demon would suck the heart of a living person every once in a while.</p>

This matter, was told to me by Situ Zong, of course, he didn’t do it out of good intentions, but he wanted to use the Soul Regenerating Demon, to deal with me.</p>

Later, someone found the corpse whose heart had been sucked out by the Soul Devouring Technique, and next to the corpse, the fan of a disciple of the Soul Regenerating Demon Sovereign was found. That fan was stolen by Qing Xian at the behest of Situ Zong.</p>

Although Situ Zong’s purpose was to utilize me, he had, unintentionally, helped me stop the evil deeds of the Soul Regenerating Demon. I only wanted to utilize the Soul Regenerating Demon at that time, which is why I didn’t kill him, but I didn’t expect that he would reappear and use this matter to threaten Qing Xian.</p>

"If this matter is revealed, my reputation will be ruined." Qing Xian said worriedly.</p>

If she had already taken full control of the Soul Regenerating Demon Palace, she wouldn’t be so worried. But she was, right now, still in the stage of consolidating her power, and that was why she attached such importance to this matter.</p>

"Tell the Truth ……"</p>

In Qing Xian’s eyes, a hint of killing intent flashed. She did not hide her desire to kill Situ Zong.</p>

"I once thought about killing him." Green Fairy said.</p>

"Why didn’t you do it?" I asked.</p>

Although Situ Zong’s sword skills were good, he was definitely not a match for Qing Xian. Qing Xian could completely find an opportunity to kill him without God realizing it.</p>

"I have two concerns. First, I doubt it, why would he do this? He has always been cautious and careful, so why would he suddenly do such a risky thing? Isn’t he afraid that I will kill him to silence him?" Qing Xian said.</p>

Indeed, Situ Zong had always been cautious, how could he suddenly become so reckless? He must have his reasons for doing so.</p>

"Second, he once unintentionally said, ‘Everyone has a weakness, even Sword Venerable.’ After I heard this, I realized that he must have grasped Sword Exalt Yi Hua’s weakness. He had followed Sword Exalt Yi Hua for many years, so it wasn’t surprising that he knew her weakness. I suddenly felt that this matter, I can’t take matters into my own hands, I must tell you." Qing Xian said.</p>

I looked at Qing Xian with an appreciative smile. She did well, she didn’t let her anger go to her head and chose to tell me about it. The two concerns she mentioned were actually reminding her to be calm and think twice before acting.</p>

Her intuition also told her that by doing so, she could bring us closer together. Her intuition, it was spot on.</p>

"You’ve done a good job, and in this case, leave it to me." I said.</p>

Hearing my words, Qing Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that as long as I stepped in, I would definitely be able to solve the problem.</p>

I looked at Qing Xian and said, "The most feared Demon Lords in both the righteous and evil worlds are the Soul Regenerating Demon Lord and the Poison King, and I hope that you can carry on this fear, all the way through."</p>

Qing Xian nodded and bowed to me before turning to leave. I’m sure she’ll work harder and become a Demon Venerable who scares the hell out of both the righteous and evil worlds.</p>

I watched Green Fairy leave, but my mind was filled with doubt.</p>

Situ Zong, was he simply trying to threaten Qing Xian, or did he really grasp the weakness of the One Flower Sword Venerable? If he really grasped the weakness of the One Flower Sword Venerable, what would it be?</p>

I suddenly felt a chill. Those who capitalize on the weaknesses of others to achieve their own ends are the most detestable.</p>

I turned around and walked towards the North Heavenly Sword’s house.</p>

"Swordfather has not been seeing guests lately."</p>

I arrived at the Northern Heavenly Sword Family, and the devil sword guarding the door, respectfully said. It seems that the Blood Heavenly Sword Demon was right, the One Flower Sword Venerable is cultivating in seclusion.</p>

"You go and announce it, tell them I’m here." I said.</p>

"Yes, please wait." Magic Sword said.</p>

I stood still and waited.</p>

At this moment, Situ Zong walked over from the martial arts arena.</p>

When he saw me, he hurriedly bowed to me, "Congratulations to the Young Sect Master on his honorary ascension to the position of Young Sect Master."</p>

"It’s been a long time, Mr. Stuart." I said.</p>

He looked as usual, without any abnormalities. He used to be in charge of receiving visiting guests, but now, he had lost the trust of the Sword Exalted and had become an ordinary magic sword.</p>

He saluted me once again and then turned to leave. Who would have thought that this person who was courteous on the surface would be threatening the Soul Regenerating Demon behind his back? Last time, I let him off the hook, but this time, I won’t be merciful.</p>

At that moment, the Magic Sword who had gone to inform returned.</p>

"Swordfather invites you in." Devil Sword said.</p>

To know how hard a person works, look at how he utilizes his fragmented time. People who really work hard don’t waste any time.</p>

Just like me, whenever I have a spare moment, I cultivate the Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Technique. The same goes for One Flower Sword Honored One.</p>

She was practicing her sword in the front yard. She knew I was coming, but she still seized the time to practice and refused to relax for a moment.</p>

Her swordsmanship, it was even more powerful than before.</p>

"It seems that everyone has gotten stronger." I said in my heart.</p>

But what really surprised me was not her swordsmanship, but her appearance.</p>

She doesn’t wear makeup. The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon had once said that she had been in closed-door cultivation lately and didn’t wear any makeup, but I didn’t expect that she would show herself with a plain face.</p>

She looks, like, a completely different person. I’m not saying she doesn’t look good without makeup, but her demeanor, completely changed.</p>

She seemed to sense my surprise, and a shy expression appeared on her face.</p>

"This is the first time, I’ve ever shown myself with a veiled face." One Flower Sword Honored One said.</p>

I knew that she wasn’t showing off her veiled face, but she was showing me her determination. She was no longer the former Sword Zun who was obsessed with her beauty, she wanted to change, she wanted to become stronger.</p>

"It’s truly an honor for me to be able to catch a glimpse of Sword Sovereign Senior’s plain face." I deliberately said in an exaggerated tone.</p>

One Flower Sword Honored One revealed a faint smile when he heard my words.</p>
