Little Demon Reversion to Youth

Chapter 107

Baekji's mind was also complicated.

The Alliance Leader's disciple and the Young Alliance Leader were worlds apart in status.

Nangong Zhao couldn't have been unaware of this... so what was his scheme?

He glared at Nangong Zhao, who had thrown him an unexpected topic.

If he accepted the position of Young Alliance Leader, the Alliance would be split into three pieces right here.

Nangong Zhao spoke with his eyes.

'No, it's the same even if you refuse. The Alliance is already split into three pieces.'

That was true.

Was there ever a group that gathered with one heart and one mind?

Even in families connected by blood, power struggles arose, so what could be said of the Alliance, where hot-blooded martial artists gathered?

Everyone had seen the Alliance Leader suffer a serious injury. Naturally, a fierce struggle for the position of the next Alliance Leader would ensue.

'He's openly asking me to take sides.'

A group from the Elder's Hall rushed over.

A sturdy old man in front cupped his fists.

"I am the Left Chief Elder of the Elder's Hall, Peng Yu. How about the Alliance Leader's disciple first handles the situation?"

Seeing that he called him the Alliance Leader's disciple, it seemed he did not want to acknowledge him as the Young Alliance Leader.

A Taoist priest in a blue scholar's robe, standing next to him, cleared his throat and said, "This Taoist is the Right Chief Elder, Hyunjin. The Left Chief Elder's words seem reasonable. First, let's catch the strong enemy... It would be best to discuss a suitable status for the Alliance Leader's disciple later."

Baekji looked at the corpse of the dead Haewol and the Blood Fiend.

"That brat is so terrifying... are you telling me to go and die like the Grand Elder?"

"Of course not... The Alliance Leader must have had something he believed in to have passed on the succession to his disciple."

"Yes. That's right... no matter how much I am the Alliance Leader's disciple... isn't it not right to make such a dangerous request to a child like me without giving anything?"

"..."

"I'll grant it. But the calculation has to be accurate."

In any case, he had to deal with the Blood Fiend.

Baekji firmly burdened the elders and walked towards the Blood Fiend.

As Baekji walked towards the Lighting Pit, he waved his hand.

"Everyone, retreat a hundred zhang!"

When the Alliance Leader had made the Alliance members retreat a hundred zhang earlier, it had looked quite cool.

When Baekji shouted loudly, the Alliance members retreated about fifty zhang.

Baekji went in front of the Blood Fiend, leaned on his bamboo staff, and stood.

'Tsk. I said a hundred zhang, so why did they only retreat fifty zhang? Because I'm a disciple, are they only listening to about half of what I say?'

Baekji, who had looked around, grumbled to himself and then spoke to the Blood Fiend.

"Hey, Blood Fiend! Let's talk."

The Blood Fiend, pretending not to hear, only glared at the corpse of Haewol rolling in front of him.

"It's just a bean-sized 'true realm' inner core. Are you that greedy for it?"

The difference between a Transcendent Peak and a True Realm could be distinguished by the presence or absence of an inner core.

The Blood Fiend was fighting the desire to take Haewol's inner core.

Tang Tian'e, who had just entered the 'true realm', had a weak inner core.

Even so, by burning fresh blood, he had entered the Profound Realm in one fell swoop.

It was an achievement that he himself had not expected.

If he took Haewol's inner core...

Although Haewol had not learned the 'Blood Blood Demonic Art', since he had been in the 'true realm' for quite some time, his inner core was also solid.

With that...

He could achieve his long-cherished wish.

'The 'dantian blood prison' is almost open. Just a little more... then I can achieve the 'Blood Demonic God'...'

The Blood Fiend was also walking a path that no one had ever walked before.

If he completely opened the 'blood prison', he would be able to achieve the 'Blood Demonic God'.

That moment was dangerous.

If the cult leader's consciousness entered the moment he achieved the 'Blood Demonic God'...

He would become a 'Blood Demon' who was nothing more than a puppet.

The intense desire to achieve the 'Blood Demonic God' and the instinct that warned of the danger were confronting each other.

"Get a grip! If you do that, you might really be devoured by the Blood Cult Leader this time. I don't have the confidence to handle the Blood Cult Leader. I can't protect you like the Alliance Leader."

A brilliant light flashed in the Blood Fiend's two eyes.

He slowly turned his head and looked at Baekji.

Life gradually deepened in his empty eyes.

The Blood Fiend, whose cognitive ability had returned, first looked around.

Baekji pointed at the distant Alliance members and said, "Don't worry. I won't launch a surprise attack."

The Blood Fiend asked, "Did you see the Blood Cult Leader's consciousness?"

"It was terrifying. It was sucking in souls... is that the Great Soul-Seizing Technique?"

"..."

The Blood Fiend, who had completely recovered his senses, glared at Baekji.

"Who are you! How do you know so much about our cult's great law?"

"You don't know me? We met on the riverbank. I'm Baekji, you're the Blood Fiend. We knew each other."

"..."

"Have you not recovered your senses yet? This is a very dangerous situation. To be spacing out in the middle of the Martial Alliance. Have you decided to die?"

The Blood Fiend just glared at Baekji without a word.

His gaze was meaningful.

He was seeing the cunning old soul inside the brat in front of him.

"Is it not the Great Soul-Seizing Technique... the Soul-Return Technique? Is it the Blood Cult Leader's clone?"

"What? What do you mean?"

The Blood Fiend muttered.

"I see. I should have realized sooner. At that age, with that level of accomplishment... it can only be the Blood Cult Leader's clone..."

"Hey, get a grip. Does it make sense for me to be the Blood Cult Leader's clone?"

"...?"

At Baekji's words, the Blood Fiend came to his senses and tilted his head.

He had killed the 'Blood Corpse Brigade', and had captured Tang Tian'e... it was certainly not something the Blood Cult Leader's clone would do.

No matter how much the Blood Cult Leader toyed with human affairs, it didn't make any sense.

The Blood Fiend rolled his eyes again and then asked Baekji, "Who are you to know the Soul-Return Technique?"

The Blood Fiend was convinced that Baekji was a being who had been reborn through the Soul-Return Technique.

Only the Blood Cult Leader, the Phantom, and he himself knew the Soul-Return Technique.

'Could it be the Phantom? Did the Phantom succeed?'

However, his temperament was completely different from the Phantom.

Even if he took a new body, since his soul was the same, his temperament should also follow the Phantom, but the brat in front of him was completely different.

Baekji held his bamboo staff.

"It seems you haven't come to your senses yet. Let's talk after you've been beaten a little."

"Kehehe. I was thinking of taking you anyway! Seeing you up close, my thoughts were right. You are a perfect body to achieve the 'Blood Demonic God'."

Whether he was a brat who had been subjected to the Soul-Return Technique or whatever, he planned to take his body first.

Kukung!

A sound of ki exploded from the Blood Fiend's entire body's blood vessels.

At the same time, a blood-red ki, shot out about a zhang.

"Wow. That's amazing. Congratulations on entering the Profound Realm. But... do you know that there's still a long way to go above that..."

"Kehehe..."

"You should listen to my words. I know it too. What it feels like to have just broken through a wall. The world seems to be all yours, right? It feels like you can win even if you fight a heavenly god... just wait a little. You'll realize that it's no big deal. At that time, a wall that is higher and thicker... a wall that you can't possibly break through will be in front of you. Well, a brat like you who has come up through human sacrifice in a foolish way might not be able to understand."

"Shut up!"

The Blood Fiend, who had been trying to break through the Profound Realm through enlightenment but had crossed over through human sacrifice at the instigation of the Blood Cult Leader, and had almost become a puppet 'Blood Demon'.

When Baekji pointed out his sore spot, he became enraged and flew.

He was already in a state of having half-achieved the 'Blood Demonic God'.

A whirlwind-like blood ki poured out from both arms and rushed towards Baekji.

It was the 'Blood Strong Ki' that had pierced Haewol's chest.

However, in order to obtain Baekji's body, he had lowered the intensity.

The Blood Fiend's situation was desperate.

Since he had rejected the Blood Cult Leader's consciousness, he was also in a position of being chased.

Even the Blood Fiend himself did not know exactly how much power the restriction of the 'Blood Blood Demonic Art' would exert.

He had to take Baekji's body as soon as possible.

He had already prepared a secret space so that he could perform the Soul-Return Technique at any time.

If he could just subdue this brat and go to that place...

And if he succeeded in the Soul-Return Technique...

He would not be afraid of the Blood Cult Leader.

He would also be able to achieve the path of the 'Blood Demonic God', which he had once stepped on, more easily.

The next steps unfolded in the Blood Fiend's mind.

But he was blocked at the first step.

Boom! Kwa-kwang!

Baekji's bamboo staff struck the two-pronged blood energy.

A foolish technique that seemed to be beating a red blood dragon.

'That brat's internal energy is that strong!'

It was beyond imagination.

The Blood Fiend's chest swelled.

If he could just take that brat's body...

A thought that it was rather fortunate that he had not achieved the 'Blood Demonic God' in this place flashed through his mind.

But Baekji's figure, which had been breaking the blood energy, was not visible in front of him.

"Hey. What kind of miscellaneous thoughts are you having? Are you at the Profound Realm?"

"Gasp!"

The Blood Fiend was surprised, struck back with his right hand, and unfolded the 'Blood Shadow Mysterious Divine Step'.

Papang!

The palm energy and the bamboo staff collided, and fragments of strong ki scattered.

"Is there no more splendid technique? There are many people watching. Think about the audience."

He had no time to think about what Baekji was saying.

A blue bamboo shadow flashed in the air, and strong ki poured down like rain.

'The Heaven-Shattering Demonic Saber!'

To unfold the 'Heaven-Shattering Demonic Saber' with a bamboo staff!

The impatient Blood Fiend unfolded the 'Blood Shadow Mysterious Divine Step' to its extreme, and it turned into a group of blood mist.

The blue bamboo shadow beat the blood mist wildly.

"Wow! The Blood Fiend is being pushed back!"

"He said he was the Alliance Leader's disciple... as expected, he was an absolute master!"

At Baekji's splendid technique, the Alliance members all cheered.

At the audience's cheer, Baekji was pleased.

"There's this too!"

Baekji suddenly shot up, and as he twisted his body, a phantom-like illusion appeared in the air.

As the figure of Baekji holding a bamboo staff in various poses appeared in the air, the Alliance members were enthusiastic.

It was as if a divine general had descended from the sky.

"It's the Shapeshifting Art!"

"No. That's the legendary Clone Technique!"

"Waaah. A heavenly god has descended!"

The Alliance members shouted, foaming at the mouth.

Not only the elders, but also the masters of the Alliance's leadership were dumbfounded.

'That... how much training does it take to reach that realm...'

Thwack!

Peopeok!

Countless clones struck the blood mist with their bamboo staves.

The blood mist, without even having a chance to spew its momentum, was continuously beaten by the bamboo staves.

'Ugh. Ugh...'

The Blood Fiend, who was unfolding his protective ki and chasing Baekji's illusion, was on the verge of death.

The bamboo staff that Baekji struck down did not have strong destructive power.

The Blood Fiend knew the meaning of that.

'You brat... are you making a spectacle of me?'

Baekji shouted excitedly, "Ehehe. This is so refreshing! I don't have to hide my martial arts anymore... why? Because I'm the Alliance Leader's disciple!"

"This bastard!"

Although the Blood Fiend struck with his strong ki, Baekji deflected it all.

"It's okay! Pour it all out. Now I don't have to pretend to be at the 'true realm' or the Transcendent Realm... ehehe."

Since he was known as the Alliance Leader's disciple, he did not have to hide his martial prowess.

No, he was going to show his overwhelming martial prowess for sure.

The Alliance Leader's disciple.

Although it seemed like a great position, to the Rising Stars, it was like a prey that had to be challenged.

If he was challenged by this brat and that brat, his life would become tiring.

Come to think of it, the reason why he had been dragged to the 'Chief Guarding Brigade' and had been in trouble was because he had looked easy.

Since the Alliance Leader had guaranteed his background, he had to instill the perception that he was unapproachable with his overwhelming martial prowess.

"Uahaha! Take this!"

Suddenly, Baekji's figure merged into one, and the bamboo staff stretched and became as thick as an adult's thigh.

It was a phenomenon that came from injecting strong ki, and it looked like Sun Wukong's 'Ruyi Jingu Bang'.

"That's the 'Ruyi Jingu Bang'! He's the incarnation of the 'Great Sage, Heaven's Equal'!"

"That kind of strong ki... is it possible?"

As if they had forgotten when they had been trembling in fear, it was a crucible of enthusiasm.

Boom!

Kwa-kwang!

A series of explosions that shook the earth erupted, and the cliff where the Lighting Pit was showed signs of collapsing.

It was purely because Baekji had struck the ground or had sent fragments of strong ki to strange places to show off his power.

So the Blood Fiend, who was receiving that terrifying attack, also looked amazing.

"The Blood Fiend is also not easy. His protective ki has not been broken yet."

"No. He's not counterattacking at all. It's proof that he's pouring all his internal energy into his protective ki. If he attacks a little more, it will break."

"Doesn't the Young Alliance Leader's attack seem a bit inaccurate? Is it because he's still young? It seems his ability to control his strength is lacking."

"Ahem. Do you see it that way? In my eyes, it seems he is cutting off his escape route..."

"To see such a life-and-death battle in my lifetime!"

Exclamations of admiration poured out from here and there.
