Chapter 0309 – Fury – Absolute Return

When I arrived at the residence of the One Flower Sword Venerable, she was still veiled and concentrating on her sword training.

I know that the reason why she is so obsessed with cultivation is because for a Demon Zun level expert, it is very difficult to make a breakthrough in martial arts. As for the One Flower Sword Zun, once she seizes an opportunity, she will go all out and never give up.

She flew up and waved her long sword in the air a few times before turning to look at me with a provocative look in her eyes.

Come on!

Since she wanted to spar, I naturally accompanied her. Without hesitation, I rose up in the air and charged towards her.

The Black Demon Sword and the One Flower Sword, clashed fiercely in the air. Her sword technique, even more refined than last time, even if I go all out, I won’t be able to win easily.

I had to boost my feats and speed.

The clash of swords and swords became faster and faster, more and more intense, and the originally crisp sound of metal clashing turned into a piercing buzzing sound.

Countless sword qi, crisscrossing through the air, formed a beautiful scroll. Onlookers, who were unable to see our movements at all, could only see a blur of light and shadow.

We’re going faster and faster.

This is not a battle between me and the One Flower Sword Venerable, but a battle between instinct and instinct. The slightest miscalculation and you’ll be dead. This is more dangerous than a real battle, even more so.

As our speed, reached its maximum, suddenly, there was a strange noise.

Dang!

We landed at the same time.

Psst!

A fancy sword, stuck in the ground.

She missed again.

One Flower Sword Honored One’s face was not the slightest bit frustrated or ashamed, instead it was filled with joy. Although she had lost, she had struck her best sword, and she felt satisfied.

She looked at me and asked, “How far do you want to push me?”

She knows that I purposely pushed her to her limits in order to get her to break through, so that she wouldn’t be satisfied with the status quo.

“I’m going to take you to the end.” I said.

That’s right, I’m going to be with these Demon Princes, to the end.

“Why?” One Flower Sword Honored One asked.

“As I said before, only you, can give me this kind of pressure, and can make me make a breakthrough, in terms of my swordsmanship. Other than you and father, no one else can make me perform my swordsmanship to my heart’s content like this, but father and I, we can’t spar very often, and besides, the battles between us are different from ordinary sparring. So, you are important to me.” I said.

I looked at Sword Honored One Flower and said seriously, “I hope that we can keep going like this until we put down the swords in our hands.”

A look of excitement appeared on the face of the One Flower Sword Venerable.

She looked at her empty hands and asked, “Do you remember, when we first cut?”

“Of course I remember.” I said.

The One Flower Sword Venerable said, “At that time, I was thinking that in another ten years, I would pass on the Demon Venerable position, to my successor, and then, live a leisurely and comfortable retirement.”

She raised her head, looked at me, and said, “At that time, I saw the end, I saw the end of my life, where it was full of flowers and applause, and all I had to do was to follow this road, all the way, and I would get there. But you pulled me back to the beginning, and I now, feel like I’m back at the beginning.”

I looked at the One Flower Sword Venerable and said, “If you do reach the end, you may feel happy, but this happiness, will only last for a month, and after a month, you will be bored, you will regret it, and you will think to yourself, if only I had worked a little harder when I was younger. You will feel that your life, is too bland and boring.”

At the corner of One Flower Sword Exalt’s mouth, a smile appeared.

“You haven’t experienced it, how do you know?” One Flower Sword Venerable asked.

“I have an imagination, a great one.” I said with a smile.

She shouldn’t be used by a villain like Situ Zong, nor should she be mesmerized by power, she should have a more exciting life.

Sword Honored One Flower extended her hand, and the longsword that was stuck on the ground, flew back into her hand. She held the sword and said firmly, “I have returned to the starting point, and I will not put down the sword in my hand again.”

I can feel that she is not the same as before. A person’s destiny can change because they meet different people.

“What is it you came to see me about today?” One Flower Sword Honored One asked.

“Situ Zong is dead, he died at the hands of the Soul Regenerating Demon.” I said.

One Flower Sword Venerable froze when he heard my words.

“What’s going on?” One Flower Sword Honored One asked.

I told the One Flower Sword Venerable what happened, but I hid the matter of the Phantom Lu, so, in her eyes, Situ Zong died because of a love killing.

“Situ Zong threatened and insulted the Demon Venerable, he deserves to die. But he is, after all, a member of the Northern Heavenly Sword Family, and his death may affect the reputation of you and the Northern Heavenly Sword Family.” I said.

One Flower Sword Venerable was silent for a moment and asked, “What do you want me to do?”

“I hope that you will not pursue this matter for the sake of the Soul Regenerating Demon Sovereign. She has just taken over the position of Demon Sovereign, her foundation is unstable, if this matter becomes a big deal, the impact on her, will be great.” I said.

Swordsman Ichika agreed to my request.

“I’ll handle this matter in a low-key manner.” One Flower Sword Venerable said.

“Thank you, Swordfather senior.” I said.

“Tell me where he’s buried, I’ll go and offer him incense, after all, he used to be my right hand man.” One Flower Sword Venerable said.

As soon as the One Flower Sword Honored One finished speaking, he began to practice with his sword.

I bowed to the One Flower Sword Venerable before turning to leave.

Before I left, I glanced back at Swordsman Ichika.

She put down the sword in her hand and looked up at the sky with complicated eyes. I don’t know, between her and Situ Zong, what exactly is the relationship between them, nor do I know, what weaknesses Situ Zong has grasped about her.

But this incident, I hope, will be a turning point in her life, so that she can re-examine her life, so that she can be able to take a step forward, in the way of the sword.

I walked out of the Northern Heavenly Sword’s house and Xu Dalong greeted me.

“The people who monitor the flower garden, sent word that for the past two days, no new flower seedlings have been delivered.” Xu Dalong said.

This means that

“She’s leaving.” I said.

I can’t let her leave like this, I have to stop her. What if Sect Leader Windsky is unable to undo Green Fairy’s Soul Regeneration Technique or needs her help? Moreover, I have to learn the whereabouts of the Illusory King from her.

“What are you going to do?” Xu Dalong asked.

As I walked towards the gate of the Heavenly Demon Sect, I said, “What else can we do? Stop her from leaving, of course. Have all the law enforcement warriors, gather here with me.”

Phantom Luu is packing his bags and getting ready to leave.

She had received the news of Situ Zong’s death, which meant that the Yin Yang Reverse Soul Technique had succeeded. What she had to do now was to leave this place and wait for a year before checking on Qing Xian.

Against an ordinary person, she could use a single move to defeat the enemy and turn them into her puppets. But against the Soul Regenerating Demon, she couldn’t be too hasty. She had to slowly plant the “Red Soul” in the depths of Qing Xian’s soul, let it slowly take root, and when it blossomed and bore fruit, she would be able to completely control Qing Xian.

Right at this moment, a group of people, rushed into the flower garden, and at the head of the group, was surprisingly Jian Wuji. Not only did he bring his guards, he also brought the Yellow Springs Pavilion’s law enforcement warriors.

“It’s so fluffy to have your guest here again.” Phantom Lü said with a smile.

“That day, you seemed to recognize me right away… I think we met for the first time, right? How did you recognize me?” Jian Wuji asked.

“Who doesn’t recognize you, Young Preceptor, among those who do business in Ma Jia Village? It is truly an honor to meet you again.” Mirage Lü said.
