Chapter 0343 – Each Mind – The Absolute Return

Three gazes, coincidentally, converged on one spot.

Bi Sian and Qin Xiajun looked at Jian Wuji, who was still looking up at the night sky, his deep eyes reflecting the stars in the sky.

The word “friend”, coming from Jian Wuji’s mouth, was so strange, so unbelievable.

“We, when did we become friends?” Bi Sian’s tone was flat, but it was hard to hide the shocking waves in his heart.

Qin Xiajun didn’t say anything, but what was going through his mind was generally the same as Bi Sian’s.

“I always thought that we were friends.” Jian Wuji withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at the two of them, a cynical smile on his lips.

“Do you really think that it’s possible for us to be friends?” Bithian asked rhetorically.

“Why not?” Jian Wuji was noncommittal.

After a short silence, Bi Sian spoke again, with a bit more gravity in his tone, “What if it’s between friends who will one day turn against each other?”

The jianghu is a dangerous place, and people’s hearts are unpredictable. Today’s friends, tomorrow may be a knife fight. What’s more, the three of them, belonging to the righteous and the devil, carrying their own mission and responsibility, once the conflict of interest, is the situation of life and death struggle.

“Then consider it as if, we have never been friends.” Jian Wuji’s tone was calm, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.

“You are quite open-minded.” Bi Sian sneered, “I’m only afraid that by that time, your sword, would have already pierced through my heart, right?”

His tone was icy cold and his expression was stern, but deep in his eyes, a touch of undetectable despondency flashed through.

Perhaps, he had also fantasized about drinking and laughing with Jian Wu Ji and Qin Xiajun.

However, reality is ultimately cruel.

“If word gets out that I’m calling myself a brother with the Demon Sect’s Young Lord, I’m only afraid that I’ll be dethroned as the Young Alliance Leader and expelled from the division.” Bi Sian laughed at himself.

“I’m even more miserable than you.” Qin Xiajun laughed bitterly, “If my father knew that I was calling myself a brother with the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master and the Sacred Sect’s Young Alliance Master, I’m only afraid that I would be beaten to death alive.”

Upon hearing this, Jian Wuji turned his head to look at Qin Xiajun and said smilingly, “How about we help you take the position of Martial Alliance Master?”

“The position of Martial Alliance Master, is it not something you can sit on just because you say so?” Qin Xiajun said with a straight face, “Only a person with both virtue and talent, and a world-class martial arts skill can convince the public.”

“Looks like you’re still drawing a line with us.” Jian Wuji shook his head in mock disappointment, then walked over to Bi Si’an’s side and said, hooking his shoulders, “Brother Bi, we’re still relatively on speaking terms.”

Bithan pushed him away in disgust and took a step back to distance himself.

“Between you and me, it’s better to keep some distance.”

The three stood again, forming a subtle triangle that separated them from each other.

“What do you hope, the future martial arts forest, will be like?” Qin Xiajun looked at Jian Wuji and asked in a deep voice.

This is the same question that Bithan wanted to ask.

Jian Wuji raised his head to look at the starry sky, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, “I hope that the martial forest of the future will be one where the righteous path, the devil’s path, and the holy path, the three paths coexist and check each other.”

“The three of us, you and I, with our heavenly destiny and our supreme martial arts skills, are not here to start a bloody storm and unify the jianghu. Rather, it is to guard this jianghu and all that we hold dear.”

“Since I was a child, I have had no friends and did not understand what affection is. It wasn’t until I met you guys that I realized how precious friends and family, are.”

Jian Wuji withdrew his gaze and looked at Bi Si An and Qin Xiajun with sincere and eager eyes.

“Unifying the jiangsu means nothing to me. Becoming friends with you guys is what is most valuable.”

“People in the martial arts are best at fighting with swords and killing each other. Instead of living a life of licking blood at the edge of a sword, why don’t we live in a different way. Wouldn’t it be great if we work together to root out the evil, uphold justice in the martial arts, and drink wine and have fun in our spare time?”

“This ……” Bi Sian and Qin Xiajun looked at each other in dismay, they had never imagined that Jian Wuji would have such breadth of mind and ambition.

“Are you dreaming?” Bithian muttered.

“Then let us, together, dream.” Jian Wuji laughed.

As soon as the words fell, a shooting star cut through the night sky, trailing a long tail and disappearing into the sky.

“Make a wish!” Sword Wuji put his hands together, closed his eyes, and made a devout wish, “I hope I can unify the jiangsu!”

Qin Xiajun sniffed and couldn’t help but roll her eyes, while Bi Sian, on the other hand, revealed a faint smile.

The three of them just like this, quietly standing under the starry sky, letting their thoughts drift, I don’t know how long it has been ……

At the Black Fiend Hall’s main helm, Qiu Hong stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window with a gloomy face.

“They, it’s blatantly spying on me.”

Opposite him was the number two person of the Black Fury Hall, Song Chong.

“Hall master, should we ……” Song Chong made a neck wiping motion.

“Do not act rashly.” Qiu Hong waved his hand, “The other party is the Demon Extermination Team, we can’t get tough.”

Although the Black Fiend Hall was infamous in the jianghu, it was still a step behind the Demon Extermination Team.

“Then what should we do about it?” Song Chong asked.

“Wait and see what happens.” Qiu Hong pondered for a moment before saying, “I’d like to see what kind of medicine they’re selling in their gourds.”

“Thirteen, still no news?” Qiu Hong turned his head to look at another of his men.

“Back to the hall master, thirteen has not returned so far, I am afraid …… that the henchman wants to say something.

“It seems that he is in dire straits.” A cold light flashed in Qiu Hong’s eyes, “Demon Extermination Team, bully!”

“Hall Master, why don’t we ask the Sacred Sect for help?” Song Chong proposed.

“Holy Church? Hmph!” Qiu Hong sneered, “They can’t wait for us and the Demon Extermination Team to lose everything so that they can reap the benefits.”

“Then we ……”

“Don’t be anxious, I’ve already sent someone to contact the Sacred Sect’s Young Alliance Master.” A glint flashed in Qiu Hong’s eyes, “I believe that he will be very interested in this matter.”

Just then, a henchman hurriedly came to report, “Hall Master, the Sacred Sect’s young ally sent someone to deliver a letter.”

“Oh?” Qiu Hong took the letter, opened it, and immediately changed his face, “What a big nerve!”

“What’s wrong, Hall Master?” Seeing this, Song Chong hurriedly asked.

“Read it yourself.” Qiu Hong handed the letter to Song Chong.

Song Chong took the letter and read it carefully, and after a few moments, his face also became ugly.

In the letter, the young ally of the Holy Sect, Bi Si’an, spoke arrogantly, and even ordered the head of the Black Fury Hall, Qiu Hong, to go to the designated place to meet with him within three days, or else he would trample down the Black Fury Hall!

“This is clearly bullying people too much!” Song Chong said angrily, “Hall Master, let’s fight them!”

“Spell? With what?” Qiu Hong laughed coldly, “With just these people of ours, it’s not enough for the Demon Extermination Team to stuff their teeth.”

“Then we can’t just sit around and wait for it to happen!”

“Don’t worry, I have my own plans.” A flash of light flashed in Qiu Hong’s eyes, “Someone, go and call Black One to Black Ten, all of them, in addition, call Black Night and Black Dog as well!”

“Hall Master, you are ……” Song Chong was a little surprised.

Black One to Black Ten, were the top ten experts of the Black Fury Hall, each of them was a ruthless character who could take on a hundred. Black Night and Black Dog, on the other hand, were the trump cards of the Black Fiend Hall, with unfathomable strength.

“Against the Demon Extermination Team, it might still be a bit insufficient, but against the Sacred Sect’s Young Alliance Master, it’s enough.” Qiu Hong laughed coldly, “I’d like to see if he has the guts to step on my Black Fiend Hall!”

The place of the appointment was a wild place in the middle of nowhere.

When Jian Wuji and the others arrived, the Black Fury Hall Master, Qiu Hong, had already led a group of his men and waited for a long time.

“Young Alliance Master Bi, how are you doing since you’ve been away?” Qiu Hong said with a leathery smile, his gaze sweeping over Jian Wuji and Qin Xiajun before finally landing on Bi Sian.

“Are you the Black Fury Hall Master, Qiu Hong?” Bi Sian looked at him coldly, without the slightest fear in his eyes.

“Precisely under me.” Qiu Hong smiled faintly and made a gesture of invitation, “Young Alliance Master Bi, please take your seat.”
