Little Demon Reversion to Youth

Chapter 133

Baekji said to Jin Tiansuo, "There is no feast that does not end! Does the Heaven Lord intend to become an emperor?"

"What are you talking about?"

Jin Tiansuo was dumbfounded, as if he had heard something absurd.

"If you want to become an emperor, you have to fight the army. If you defeat the army that is coming now, more armies will come, and if you defeat that army, the emperor himself will send an army, and if you win that war, you become the emperor. It's very simple."

"I have no such intention. I have something I must do. It is more important than becoming an emperor."

"Then it's even simpler. Disband the Four Shrines Heaven and go back to being the original Black Path of Guangxi."

"...!"

Those who were shocked by Baekji's sudden words looked at each other.

The silence that had flowed for a moment was broken by someone's roar.

"To disband the Four Shrines Heaven! You are a spy sent by the enemy!"

"How dare you, do not insult the blood of the brothers that has been shed until now!"

There was even someone who drew his sword in excitement.

Even Jin Tianxiang and Scholar Bing glared at Baekji.

Baekji shouted, "Calm down! Calm down!"

Baekji pointed at each of the people gathered in the main hall and raised his voice.

"What is the reason you all gathered under the banner of the Four Shrines Heaven?"

"..."

"Scholar Bing, tell me."

Scholar Bing could not answer and looked at Jin Tiansuo.

Jin Tiansuo slowly opened his mouth.

"Although we are in the Black Path, the great cause of helping the weak, eradicating injustice, and taking care of the people who suffer from the local tyrants! We, the Four Shrines Heaven, have lived like that!"

A strangely solemn tone that stirred the heart.

"Although we do the work of darkness that is pointed at, we have not violated the principles of the martial world, we have not deceived others, and we have not exploited the weak. Furthermore, we have helped those in need, we have taken in orphans, and we have punished the local tyrants who tormented the common people. That is our Four Shrines Heaven."

"Hah..."

Baekji, in the middle of listening, asked Scholar Bing, "Why on earth are you called the Black Path? If it's as he says, there is no White Path like this White Path..."

"You know, don't you? Once a stigma is attached to one's origin in the martial world, it is difficult to change."

As if to receive Jin Tiansuo's words, someone shouted, "When we were wandering in the darkness, Heaven Lord Jin showed us the way! That's why we were able to have the pride of living like human beings. So the Heaven Lord must live. There are many ignorant people like me. Please enlighten them. I will block the enemy with my single life!"

My hands and feet are curling up.

These brats are completely immersed in playing heroes.

Baekji raised both his hands again and shouted, "Calm down! I'm telling you, no one has to die! The way for both heroes and the ignorant to live is the best!"

"There is no need to listen to the absurd statement to disband the Four Shrines Heaven!"

The Heavenly Machine Sect Master said.

"It's not disbandment... it's going undercover. Undercover! Why do you think the Four Shrines Heaven is being attacked like this! It's because it has become a great tree. They are afraid that the unification of the Black Path of Guangxi will lead to the unification of the Black Path of the Central Plains. If a single force becomes too powerful, it will unconditionally become a public enemy! Look at the Demonic Cult!"

"No, to compare us to the evil Demonic Cult!"

As the Black Path members belittled the Demonic Cult, Baekji was indignant.

Although it was before his reincarnation, as someone who had been the Young Lord of the Demonic Cult, he could not just let it pass.

"Do you know the Demonic Cult? What Demonic Cult are you talking about! Have you even seen their faces in the last hundred years?"

As Baekji argued with foam in his mouth, Scholar Bing looked at him with strange eyes.

"It was the White Path that called them the Demonic Cult! Why? Because they are too strong! If the Four Shrines Heaven also increases its power like this, it will become an evil Black Path and a public enemy of the martial world! Look at the reality right in front of you! If you fight the army, you will immediately become a group of rebels."

"..."

"You don't know, but it was the Demonic Cult that saved the Central Plains in the last calamity of the Blood Sect. They drove out the Blood Sect, risking all kinds of sacrifices, and they didn't even show off like the White Path brats."

Jin Tiansuo patted Baekji's shoulder.

"Calm down."

Then he said to the group in the main hall, "Yang Honored One's words also have a point. If we become a group of rebels, the army will come in and the lives of the common people will also be ruined. Let's leave Half-Moon Fortress for a while. Each sect, return to your own territory and live as you have been. The army... I will take care of it."

"No! We know well that the Heaven Lord is an absolute master. But the army is different..."

Baekji stepped forward again.

"What's so different! Even if there are ten thousand, no, a million troops, an absolute master can escape without a single hair being harmed!"

Jin Tiansuo whispered with a troubled expression, "Younger brother. The word 'escape' is a bit much..."

I'm not your younger brother!

Is this brat trying to stealthily solidify his position as the older brother?

As Baekji glared, Jin Tiansuo pretended not to notice, turned his gaze, and said to the Black Path members in the main hall, "I will do as my younger brother Baekji suggests! The reason we are retreating today is not because we are afraid of death. We cannot cause a war and let the common people of Guangxi suffer! It is not shameful to bow for a moment for the sake of others. Isn't that what a 'Black Chivalrous Hero' is?"

"Oh!"

The simple Black Path members were swayed by the words 'Black Chivalrous Hero'.

"I will go and negotiate with the army! So, brothers, build up your strength and wait. The enemy we must fight is the Blood Sect!"

"That's right."

"We will follow your orders!"

At Jin Tiansuo's tragic shout, the Four Great Sect Masters, the Division Leaders, and the Brigade Leaders all knelt down.

"Bring the wine!"

Wine again? After drinking all night?

Isn't this brat a 'wine ghost'?

"Although we are temporarily abandoning the name of the Four Shrines Heaven today, let us remember with a glass of wine that it is burning hotly in our hearts!"

"Good!"

The Black Path members poured each other a drink and then looked at Jin Tiansuo.

Jin Tiansuo raised his glass and shouted, "We are the Black Path that aims for the light from the shade!"

"To the day we meet again!"

The Black Path members all shouted in unison and, drank.

Jin Tiansuo threw his wine bowl to the floor and shattered it, then silently turned his body and left the main hall.

A tragic atmosphere as if he were going to face an army of ten million hung in the air.

"Ah! Heaven Lord!"

"Sob, sob! Heaven Lord!"

The Black Path members who saw this shed tears.

From breaking the wine glass to his exit... it was like watching a play.

Ah. The real actor was here!

His nature is gloomy, but he lives as a hero, and whenever he opens his mouth, he puts people in a crucible of emotion and boils them.

What's more surprising is... that that action looks genuine.

As Baekji was gaping in admiration.

Cheol-keok!

"...?"

Feeling something being fastened on his wrist, he looked down to see Jin Tianxiang fastening a shackle, connecting her arm to his.

"What is this?"

"You were trying to run away, right? You can't go anywhere until you've finished talking with my brother."

Scholar Bing also approached.

"What on earth were you thinking, telling us to disband the Four Shrines Heaven?"

It was a gaze demanding an explanation.

* * *

The speeding carriage came to a halt.

A group of warriors stood in front, blocking the road.

Shangguan Ming's eyes narrowed.

Shangguan Ming, who had sent the masters of the Wind and Cloud Pavilion as bait, had escaped the forest and had obtained a carriage.

He was thinking of taking a detour to the north to go to the Tang family.

But to be exposed already.

"Zhang Li. Are you blocking the way?"

It was Zhang Li, who had been promoted to the leader of the 'Whirlwind Unit', and his subordinates.

Zhang Li knelt on one knee and cupped his fists.

"From here on, we will escort you."

"..."

"I am no longer the leader of the Martial Alliance's 'Whirlwind Unit'. On the day the Alliance Leader was dismissed, I also submitted my resignation. It's not just me. From here to Sichuan, brothers who share the same will are guarding the road."

"...!"

Shangguan Ming was choked up. He was not the only one who wanted to protect the Alliance Leader.

'Alliance Leader, it seems you did not live in vain.'

When Zhang Li raised his hand, his subordinates opened the way.

"Please go ahead. We will follow."

The carriage sped up again.

* * *

Baekji was led by Jin Tianxiang to Jin Tiansuo's residence.

"Brother. This brat says he won't marry me."

Jin Tiansuo asked Baekji, "Are you married?"

"No. I'm going to live alone."

"I think Tianxiang, not just because she's my sister, but also as a woman, has no flaws."

"So I'll find you a good marriage partner."

Jin Tianxiang immediately refuted, "No! I can't get married while hiding the fact that you... that."

"Hmm. Then... I'll reveal the truth... and find someone who still likes you."

At Baekji's words, Jin Tiansuo said, "There is still time, so think about it slowly."

Jin Tianxiang shook her head.

"No. Since this brat doesn't want to, I don't want to either. But I have to have a child."

Jin Tiansuo looked at his sister with a surprised expression.

"Are you saying you will have a child even though he is not of the 'Four Great Heavenly Veins'?"

"At that level of realm, he must be of a 'Heavenly Vein'."

Baekji, who was listening to the two, asked, "What is a 'Heavenly Vein'?"

Jin Tiansuo, after thinking for a moment, let out a light sigh and said, "As you have guessed, my sister and I are of the 'Profound Moon Gate' clan. We, as well as the people of the No Martial Sect, the Extreme Middle Path, and the Silver Moon Sect, are called the 'Four Great Heavenly Veins'."

"Hmm. Is it something like an ethnic minority?"

"According to the story that has been passed down in our family like a legend, there was a time long ago when the divine realm and the human realm coexisted. At that time, gods and humans would also marry, and our family is of that bloodline."

"So you're a descendant of a god. Tsk. In a word, you're saying you're special, right?"

Jin Tiansuo nodded his head.

"You could say we're special. There's a reason why I thought you were from the No Martial Sect or the Extreme Middle Path because your martial arts are so strangely outstanding. The 'Heavenly Vein' is a constitution that can form an inner core from birth."

"An inner core from birth?"

Baekji was slightly surprised. To form an inner core meant that one could immediately enter the 'true realm'.

In the martial world, a person with outstanding talent had to train in internal energy for about thirty years to form a bean-sized inner core and enter the 'true realm'.

"In our family, we don't call it the 'true realm', but 'dan refinement'. It is believed that if one masters 'dan refinement', one goes through the process of 'soul refinement' and 'spirit refinement' to reach the stage of wall-breaking."

"Then is the 'flower realm' the stage of 'soul refinement', and the profound realm the stage of 'spirit refinement'?"

Jin Tiansuo nodded his head.

"If you learn internal energy, an inner core is formed immediately... so there must be many masters in your family? The No Martial Sect and the Extreme Middle Path too? But why haven't they been known in the martial world until now?"

"There are places where they have been active depending on the family. But now, the 'Heavenly Vein' is almost cut off."

"...?"

"After the divine realm and the human realm were completely separated, a long time passed, and they changed into ordinary humans."

"So the pure 'Heavenly Vein' has disappeared."

Jin Tiansuo nodded his head.

"The 'Heavenly Vein' can only continue its constitution if they marry among themselves and have children. If they marry an ordinary human, the probability of having a 'Heavenly Vein' constitution is less than one in ten."

"Ah. Is that so?"

"Wouldn't there have been a limit to the tribes with the blood of the 'Heavenly Vein' marrying among themselves? As time passed, they gradually mixed with humans and were neutralized. However, they say that even among ordinary humans, there are rare cases of those with a 'Heavenly Vein' constitution. If you look at those who became absolute masters at an early age, they will be of the 'Heavenly Vein'. Weren't you also like that? Weren't you able to form an inner core immediately after learning internal energy?"

'No, I reincarnated.'

Jin Tiansuo said, looking at Baekji intently.

Baekji felt as if he were a cow that had come out to the cattle market.

'So that's why Jin Tianxiang wants to have my child.'

No matter what the circumstances, he could never grant it.

"If the 'Heavenly Vein' is so outstanding, why do the No Martial Sect and the Extreme Middle Path live in hiding?"

"It's because of the Blood Cult Leader."

"The Blood Cult Leader? Do you have a bad relationship with that brat? His martial arts are strong, but if a few profound realm masters attack him, they should be able to kill him."

"You... don't know."

Jin Tiansuo said in a grave tone.

"The Blood Cult Leader, to be precise, can be said to be an old soul. His physical bodies are not one or two."

"What? The Blood Cult Leader is not just one?"

"The one who founded the Blood Sect thirty years ago is a branch of an old soul. But they say there will be more besides that."
