Little Demon Reversion to Youth

Chapter 167

On the thirtieth day of his promise with Baekji.

The Blood Demon wandered around the Yang-Bai Merchant Sect estate.

There was no sign of Baekji coming out.

"Are you saying he deceived me?"

The Blood Demon ground his teeth and infiltrated the estate. Although it was a dragon's den and a tiger's lair where masters, including Tie Yantai, were hiding, he had no choice.

But.

No matter how much he searched the estate, he could not find Baekji.

"This brat... to break his promise. I will make you pay the price."

The Blood Demon awakened his own residual soul that he had planted in Senior Oh's body.

"......?"

Something was strange. The scene he saw with the consciousness of his residual soul... was a darkness where nothing could be seen.

"What happened?"

Although it had been over half a month since Senior Oh had left for the Martial Alliance with the Alliance Leader, the Blood Demon did not know that fact.

When the Blood Demon went to find his residual soul, it was the Yang-Bai Merchant Sect's prison.

"Surely... he didn't notice and lock his disciple in the prison?"

The Blood Demon hid and waited all day, and in the middle of the night, he infiltrated the prison. The person he met there was Seomun So, who had lost his intellect.

"Why is my residual soul in your body?"

Although the Blood Demon asked, dumbfounded, Seomun So just let out a strange sound of 'keu-reu-reu'. Although his madness had stopped after the Blood Demon's residual soul had entered, it was Seomun So, who still had not regained his senses.

The Blood Demon had not thought that Baekji would know the 'Reincarnation Art'. So he could not know what had happened. However, the fact that he had been deceived by Baekji was certain.

"A-a-ak! This brat... just you wait. I will kill your masters one by one, one a day!"

As the Blood Demon was grinding his teeth, someone appeared from the darkness.

"Hmm. As expected, it is as Honored One said."

The Demonic Advisor said, gently fanning himself with a fan.

"Who are you?"

As the Blood Demon stretched out his hand towards the Demonic Advisor who had suddenly appeared, the Demonic Advisor hastily stepped back and shouted, "Ahem. What's the hurry? I came to tell you the way to achieve the 'Blood Demon God' on behalf of the Honored One!"

"What? You are..."

When he realized that he was the strategist that Baekji used, the Blood Demon lowered his hand.

"The Honored One has left because he has urgent business, and he said you would come today. Then he told me to tell you this."

"..."

The Blood Demon glared at the Demonic Advisor.

The Demonic Advisor pointed to Seomun So and said, "He said that if you save that person's intellect, you will be able to achieve the 'Blood Demon God'."

The Blood Demon looked at Seomun So. His hollow eyes, which had lost their intellect, were constantly looking around.

"Are you mocking me right now?"

"That's not it. That person fell into cultivation deviation while learning the 'Blood Demon Sword Sea'."

The Demonic Advisor threw a fake copy of the 'Blood Demon Sword Sea' to the Blood Demon.

"This is the 'Blood Demon Sword Sea' that that person learned. He said you would be able to know what went wrong. At the same time, that part will be what you need to achieve the complete 'Blood Demon'."

The Blood Demon unfolded the fake 'Blood Demon Sword Sea'.

Since the Blood Demon had learned the 'Blood Blood Demonic Art', he could know the strengths and weaknesses of the fake 'Blood Demon Sword Sea'.

"Is that true?"

When the Blood Demon spoke with a face that had not shed its suspicion, the Demonic Advisor, 'chwa-ak', unfolded his fan, put his hands behind his back, and took a step forward.

"If suspicion is too deep, it becomes a disease. According to this scholar's sharp reasoning, the 'Blood Blood Demonic Art' that you have learned will also be incomplete. The incomplete 'Blood Blood Demonic Art' and the fake 'Blood Blood Demonic Art'... if you find the common points of the two demonic arts, you will be able to deduce which part has been tampered with. And then..."

As the Demonic Advisor's words dragged on, the Blood Demon waved his hand to stop him.

"I know that much. But if there is still no answer..."

"The Honored One said that the answer will come out, but you will not be able to solve it!"

"What did you say!"

The Demonic Advisor, 'chak', folded his fan and muttered, "As expected... the Honored One's insight is truly amazing... the competition is proceeding exactly as he said."

"What are you talking about? Can't you speak clearly?"

The Demonic Advisor raised his finger and said, waving it, "There are many things in the world that you can't do anything about even if you know the answer. For example, isn't it also a sin to love someone you shouldn't love? It is a person who falls into the pit of sin on their own, even though they know they shouldn't."

"What on earth are you talking nonsense about?"

Although the Blood Demon, got angry, the Demonic Advisor calmly continued, "Listen carefully. This is all what the Honored One told me to convey. You will regret it if you don't listen carefully."

"..."

"He said that love is not a sin... but that you commit a sin by acting without discretion."

"This brat..."

The Blood Demon thought the Demonic Advisor was mocking him. As the Blood Demon got excited, a blood energy formed around his entire body. The Demonic Advisor took a step back and waved his hand.

"I'm telling you, this is all what the Honored One said! And he told me to ask you what sin it is to take a person's fresh blood... to ask yourself. He said that only when you get that answer will you be able to obtain the complete 'Blood Demon God'."

The Blood Demon lowered his hand again. Although it was a cryptic statement, it seemed to contain some meaning.

"And he said that because your head is bad... this is not my word, but the Honored One's word... it might be difficult to find a solution... and then he told you to come to the Heavenly Mountains. You have to take that person."

"The Heavenly Mountains? You mean the hundred thousand mountains of the Demonic Cult?"

"That is so."

"Hehe... are you telling me to come to a place where I will die? Do you think I will obediently walk into a trap?"

The Demonic Advisor, gently fanning himself with a fan, said, "He said you will die even if you stay here. The Honored One said... if you do not achieve the complete 'Blood Demon God'... someday, your blood energy will flow backward, your entire body will become a 'blood jiangshi', and your soul will scatter."

The Blood Demon was very surprised and asked back, "Is that true?"

"And he told me to ask you this. Aren't your fingertips numb and your senses weak right now..."

The Blood Demon stealthily put his hands behind his back and then touched his fingers together. It seemed his senses had become dull.

"Starting from the ends of your limbs, you will stiffen and eventually become a complete 'blood jiangshi'."

The Blood Demon became anxious.

"It would be better to leave quickly. If you hang around here and get caught by the masters of the Yang-Bai Merchant Sect, it will be difficult to preserve your physical body, let alone the 'Blood Demon God'."

"Hmph! Who dares to harm me?"

"Hmm. You are not grasping the situation properly. Right now, in this estate, there are two of the four divine generals of the Demonic Cult. Besides, there are also two descendants of the 'Four Heavenly Veins'... what do you think will happen if they find out you have come?"

The Blood Demon frowned.

"The 'Four Heavenly Veins'..."

It was the Blood Demon who had been at the forefront when the 'Four Heavenly Veins' had suffered a blood calamity in the past. He was uneasy.

But he could not show a weak side. The Blood Demon let out a strange laugh.

"Hehe... do you think some 'flower realm' weaklings can do anything to me?"

"One of them is at the profound realm, and the other is also at the beginning of the profound realm..."

"Keukeukeu... if only you die, no one will know. Thank you for telling me the news, but you will have to die."

The Demonic Advisor, 'chak', folded his fan and muttered, "As expected... the Honored One's insight is truly amazing..."

The Demonic Advisor, 'sseuk', went into the iron cage next to him, took out a key, and locked himself in.

"This iron cage is quite sturdy. Hurry and take that person and go."

A loud drum sound was heard from outside.

"That is the drum sound that indicates an intruder has entered the prison."

The Blood Demon was in a hurry. He, pulled the iron cage where Seomun So was locked, but it was surprisingly sturdy.

U-deu-deuk.

The Blood Demon used his strength to bend the iron cage and then snatched Seomun So... but he was not dragged. When he looked closely, his hands and ankles were tied with iron chains and were stuck in the wall.

"These vicious brats... to bind a person who is not even in his right mind so tightly..."

The Blood Demon, without saying it to anyone in particular, cursed, cut the iron chains, and then disappeared, grabbing the back of Seomun So's neck.

* * *

All the people in the inn stopped moving.

'Hmm... as expected, it's important to meet a good senior who has gone before.'

Baekji looked around the inn and was satisfied. He had knocked everyone down with a cleaner technique than before.

The Alliance Leader had passed on the insights of the 'natural realm' that he had obtained to Baekji. Although he had entered the 'natural realm' later than Baekji, the Alliance Leader, who had gone through the profound realm for a long time and had directly broken through the 'life and death realm', had a much higher understanding of the 'natural realm'.

Thanks to that, Baekji's martial prowess had risen a level.

Although Baekji did not remember the martial arts techniques, since he had reached the 'natural realm', his movements themselves were like techniques. Moreover, he had the tremendous internal energy that had been generated after taking the 'reincarnation pill'. He would probably be able to win even if he fought with the Alliance Leader.

"Alright, calm down. Let's talk. What is this in a sacred restaurant? Look at that blood! The whole place is a sea of blood. How can you have an appetite like this?"

"Who are you?"

Fortress Lord Yue asked. Although Baekji looked young, since he knew he was an absolute master, he could not treat him carelessly.

"I, I... hmm. What should I say... it's a bit complicated..."

As Baekji was thinking of an answer, the two who had disguised themselves as Qinghai martial artists and had been the first to attack Wu Ha made eye contact and shouted, "Let's die together!"

And they stretched out their palms and fists towards Wu Ha at the same time. It was so sudden that even the Kunlun Taoists could not block it.

But Baekji also seemed to have no intention of blocking it.

Wu Ha looked at Baekji and then... stretched out both his hands. A golden light flashed from his hands, and a golden dragon shadow shimmered and met the two's palms and fists.

Kwa-ang!

Surprisingly, the two who had attacked were pushed back three or four steps. Wu Ha was also pushed back four or five steps and staggered, but he did not seem to be seriously injured.

"Hmm. As expected, he was in the 'true realm'. He has also learned the secret techniques of Kunlun well..."

Baekji nodded his head as if he had known it would happen and then went behind the two who had attacked and stood.

"Die together?"

Peo-peok!

"How dare you think of doing that! From now on, you have to get my permission to die!"

The two simultaneously collapsed and lay face down, not moving.

"Don't play possum. I didn't even hit you hard enough to knock you out."

Although Baekji spoke, the two did not move.

"It seems you need to be hit more to come to your senses."

At that, the two, flinched and then hesitantly stood up.

"Kill me."

Although they shouted tragically, Baekji pretended not to hear.

"I told you. From now on, living and dying are all my business."

Baekji shook the chair leg, and then, as if it didn't look good, he threw it away and brought his hand to his waist.

But there was no sword.

"My sword! Ah..."

He remembered that he had thrown his sword to save Pa Yeongwa. He went to the place where Pa Yeongwa had collapsed and kicked the fallen assassins with his foot. The sword that was under the assassin's stomach came into view.

Baekji picked up the sword and checked if it was damaged, but it was fine.

Hwik! Hwik!

He swung the sword a couple of times and then, held it up and said, "The situation is too chaotic right now. Let's get things straight and then fight. First, the small fry, get out."

No one moved. They were afraid that if they moved, they would be hit by Baekji's sword.

"I told you, you can move now."

Also, no one wanted to be a small fry.

"Alright. I'll get things straight. First, the brats who came in later... you go out first. Take the fallen brats with you as you go."

The martial force and the assassins who had rushed into the inn late gathered their comrades and went out.

The two who had disguised themselves as Qinghai martial artists and had attacked Wu Ha also stealthily tried to follow, but Baekji called them to a halt.

"Wait! You two are the leaders. Why are you trying to act like small fry? You stay."
