Little Demon Reversion to Youth

Chapter 30

"What are you doing? Why did you hit Ajok?"

Senior Oh and Jang Sam were surprised and looked this way.

-Grumble.

His stomach, which had been empty for two days, cried out for food.

'I'll see you brats later.'

Baekji glared at them and then went up to the Songhua Hall.

"Bring me food."

Zhong Jia hurriedly brought out food.

"I was just waiting for Master Bai to wake up."

Zhong Jia had heard that Baekji ate a lot when he woke up, so he had prepared in advance. In no time, a feast of delicacies was served.

"Umm. It's edible."

He sat alone at the wide dining table and ate.

Suddenly, he felt empty.

He remembered eating with several people sitting around when he was Baekji.

'What is this feeling?'

Emotions quickly get used to the environment.

Although he had no memory, he had a feeling that he had originally eaten alone, but the short time he had eaten with several people while being Baekji felt more familiar.

"Soryeong... no, where is the master?"

He asked Bangbang, who was passing by.

"The White Mountain Sect Master summoned her, so she went with Guard Shang."

"Guard Shang? Shang Yiqing?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I don't know. But the atmosphere was very grim."

"...!"

For some reason, it was ominous.

If that brat Shang Yiqing, unable to distinguish heaven and earth, were to say 'Yang Soryeong is mine' in front of Bai Renguang, both of them might die.

'Do I have to care about such things?'

But he was concerned.

The warm gaze of Yang Soryeong, who had handed him the dumpling, was clear in his mind.

'She's kind. She shouldn't die.'

It seemed he had to save Yang Soryeong if she was in trouble.

'I'll just do one good deed. I can think of it as paying for the dumplings.'

He could not forget the taste of the dumplings he had eaten after being reborn as Baekji.

As Baekji was leaving the main gate of the Songhua Hall, a guard on duty stretched out his hand and blocked him.

"You can't go out."

"Yang Soryeong, no, where did Master Yang go?"

"Who?"

"The Acting Sect Master."

"Ah! She went to the White Hall Great Light... but the servant brat's words..."

Thwack!

The guard's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed.

Baekji was nowhere to be seen.

The guard on the other side was surprised and shouted, "Escape!"

The White Mountain Brigade members who were on guard around rushed over.

The squad leader also ran up, panting.

"Escape? Who escaped?"

"A servant brat escaped."

The squad leader tilted his head. The expression 'escape' was somehow strange.

Although he had received orders to control access, the Songhua Hall was not a prison.

"For a servant brat to go out..."

"He killed Zao Qi."

The squad leader went to the fallen guard and put his finger to his nose.

"He's just fainted. Can't you even distinguish between dead and fainted? But... a servant brat did this?"

"Yes."

"That's suspicious. Go and catch him at once."

* * *

White Hall Great Light.

The gaze of Bai Renguang, who was sitting on the head seat of the dais, was murderous.

"Are you two making a fool of me?"

The White Temple Brigade Leader, Mo Dahou, the Great Light Brigade Leader, Hu Yeonjo, the White Mountain Brigade Leader, Yu Mungwang, and General Manager Ximen stood on the left and right, while Yang Jongu, Mae Yeoncheong, Yang Soryeong, and Shang Yiqing knelt in the middle.

Yang Jongu and Mae Yeoncheong were a mess.

Mo Dahou and Hu Yeonjo had gone to strike the Meixian Fang, but it had not been easy. But since they couldn't just return, they came up with a plan.

Instead of the Meixian Fang, they attacked the Yang Merchant Guild and captured Yang Jongu and Mae Yeoncheong. And they confessed to Bai Renguang that Yang Soryeong was not the daughter of the official wife but the child of a concubine.

Bai Renguang was furious.

"So these bastards of the Meixian Fang were planning this from the beginning!"

Bai Renguang, who had the ambition to build the number one sect in Sichuan and further spread the fame of the White Mountain Sect in the Central Plains.

As a first step, he had pursued a political marriage with the easy-to-handle Yang Merchant Guild to establish a foothold in Shaanxi, but the other party had deceived him and sent the offspring of a concubine, causing him to lose face.

Since Mae Yeoncheong was from the Meixian Fang, he was certain that there had been other intentions from the beginning.

"Guild Master Yang. Was I that ridiculous?"

Yang Jongu, befitting the head of a merchant guild, said with dignity, "Soryeong is my beloved daughter. Frankly, I was reluctant to give her to the White Mountain Sect."

Yang Jongu was prepared for death.

Mae Yeoncheong screamed as if having a seizure.

"Beloved daughter? I knew it. You were sneaking in and out of that bitch's house behind my back, weren't you?"

"Wife, watch your words."

Although Yang Jongu warned her, Mae Yeoncheong was not in her right mind.

Enemies had suddenly rushed into the Yang Merchant Guild and captured her. She had no way of knowing the life or death of her precious daughter, Yang Zhaoling.

She was furious at what her family, the Meixian Fang, was doing.

"Bai Renguang, you crazy bastard! Are you not afraid of the Meixian Fang?"

"Tear that bitch's mouth."

When Mae Yeoncheong cursed, Bai Renguang got angry and shouted. Hu Yeonjo suddenly came out, put a dagger in Mae Yeoncheong's mouth, and stirred it.

"Kaaak!"

Mae Yeoncheong vomited blood from her mouth and fainted.

"Honey!"

Although Yang Jongu shouted, Mae Yeoncheong had already lost consciousness. Her face was covered in blood. Yang Jongu was enraged and shouted, "Are you crazy?"

Bai Renguang gave a strange laugh.

He had almost died after being hit by the Blood Hand Grand Seal, but it had been a blessing in disguise, and his internal energy had actually increased.

There was nothing in the world he was afraid of.

"Is a mere merchant guild daring to threaten me? Do you want your mouth torn too?"

Yang Soryeong was startled and shouted, "I will serve the Young Sect Master well. Please let my father go."

Bai Renguang glared at Yang Soryeong.

"Shut up. A betrothed bitch dares to bring in a man? Does the Bai family look so ridiculous? You bitch, you will be paraded through the streets in broad daylight and then killed."

Shang Yiqing shot up.

"Bai Renguang! I knew long ago that you were a group of heretics wearing the mask of a righteous sect. Do you have the confidence to have a life-and-death duel with me?"

Bai Renguang couldn't believe it. He asked General Manager Ximen, "Why didn't you kill that brat and bring him here?"

General Manager Ximen stepped forward.

"He is a secular disciple of Qingcheng. He is attending to True Man Changshan."

"Grrr."

Bai Renguang scratched his head.

To kill Shang Yiqing in this place, the wall of Qingcheng was too high. Moreover, True Man Changshan was making medicine for his son.

But the justification was on his side.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Those two brats had an affair. Drag those two brats out, kill them, and then report to Qingcheng that they were executed according to the law."

Hu Yeonjo came out, grabbed the back of Yang Soryeong's and Shang Yiqing's necks, and dragged them away. Even as Shang Yiqing was being dragged, he shouted, "Bai Renguang, you coward! A man who is one of the top one hundred masters is avoiding me?"

"You crazy brat. If my son were fine, you wouldn't have been able to handle him for even a second. Go quietly."

Just then, the main hall door burst open.

"What?"

"Baekji?"

Yang Soryeong was surprised to see Baekji standing in front of the main hall door and shouted, "Baekji, run away quickly!"

"What are you talking about? How dare you tell me to run away? No matter how kind you are, if you say such things, you'll be scolded."

Baekji said a word to Yang Soryeong and then strode across the main hall to the head seat.

"Who is that brat? How dare he be here..."

As Bai Renguang was shouting, dumbfounded, Baekji's figure disappeared.

He instinctively jumped up from his chair, but with a 'boom', a shock, his consciousness was cut off.

Bai Renguang flew to the wall, hit it, and then went limp.

"This bastard, I have arrived, yet you dare to sit in your seat and flap your mouth?"

Baekji sent Bai Renguang flying with one blow and sat on the head seat.

Everyone in the main hall froze like stone statues.

Baekji had walked a few steps and then, in an instant, had thrown himself and struck Bai Renguang, but no one had seen properly what kind of technique he had used.

Their mouths fell open at the unrealistic situation.

A warning bell rang in the minds of Mo Dahou, Hu Yeonjo, and General Manager Ximen.

'Bai Renguang was defeated in a single move!'

'As expected, he was the head of the Blood Sect's demons!'

'Who is that brat? I've heard that voice somewhere.'

Yu Mungwang came to his senses, drew his sword, and charged at Baekji.

"Die!"

Baekji stretched out his left foot.

Thwack!

Yu Mungwang, bent like a shrimp, flew and then also hit the main hall wall and fell.

"Brigade Leader Yu!"

General Manager Ximen shouted out of courtesy, but Hu Yeonjo pulled his sleeve.

"He's dead."

"He's not dead. Drag them both here and make them kneel."

Although Baekji spoke, no one moved. The situation was so absurd that they couldn't even think of obeying.

"These brats?"

Baekji's figure disappeared again.

Thwack!

"Ack!"

Mo Dahou and Hu Yeonjo jumped into the air in an instant and avoided it, but General Manager Ximen's left shin was broken, and with a 'keuk', he slumped down on the spot.

"Oh? You dodged? This is fun."

When Baekji grinned, it was rather frightening.

Baekji's figure disappeared again and then brushed past Mo Dahou and Hu Yeonjo.

Pa-pa-pak!

This time, neither of them could avoid it.

"Keo-heok!"

Mo Dahou's arm was broken while trying to block a fist, and Hu Yeonjo was caught by the scruff of his neck while trying to run away and then was hit hard in the abdomen. Hu Yeonjo's stomach was turned upside down, and his eyes almost popped out.

Baekji then kicked Mo Dahou's thigh.

"Ugh!"

It was a speed that was impossible to block.

The two of them fell to the floor and struggled.

'Shifting form? An absolute master!'

Shang Yiqing's mouth fell open.

"What are you doing? Do you want to be beaten too? Drag them all here and make them kneel."

The warriors who were dragging Shang Yiqing looked mournful. They could not dare to lay a hand on the bodies of the Sect Master and the brigade leaders.

"I'll do it."

Shang Yiqing pushed away the warrior who was dragging him and then dragged the unconscious Bai Renguang, Yu Mungwang, and the others and placed them in front of Baekji.

Mo Dahou and Hu Yeonjo were groaning and struggling, but Shang Yiqing couldn't approach, just in case.

"If you don't want to die, come and kneel."

Mo Dahou and Hu Yeonjo could not get up. They rolled their bodies and went next to Bai Renguang.

Baekji asked Yang Soryeong, "What were you talking about?"

"Uh, that's..."

Yang Soryeong could not speak. He did not seem to be the Baekji she knew. He was clearly the same person, but his expression was fierce.

Shang Yiqing answered instead.

"Sect Master Bai was trying to kill us all."

"He was?"

"No, he was."

Shang Yiqing quickly corrected his words. For some reason, it felt like he had to.

"Why?"

"He framed the Yang Merchant Guild for colluding with the Meixian Fang to aim for the White Mountain Sect."

"You shouldn't frame an innocent person."

Baekji frowned and then said to General Manager Ximen, "Gather all the martial force."

General Manager Ximen shot up and limped out, but there was no need.

The White Mountain Brigade had rushed over, chasing Baekji, and to check them, the White Temple Brigade and the Great Light Brigade had also gathered. Although Bai Renguang had woken up, the rivalry between the martial force brigades was still there.

"What is it?"

The senior squad leader of the White Temple Brigade asked the senior squad leader of the White Mountain Brigade.

"I came chasing a servant. Don't mind it."

"You crazy brat, where do you think this is, to come chasing a servant? Make some sense."

Then the senior squad leader of the Great Light Brigade mediated.

"The Sect Master is inside the main hall. Do not act rashly."

"Why did you come?"

"Because you brats are suspiciously gathering."

The three martial force brigades, who did not know the situation inside the White Hall Great Light, confronted each other, pointing fingers.

Baekji clicked his tongue.

"Pathetic. A complete dysfunctional family. Open the main hall doors!"

The doors of the main hall were thrown wide open.

When the situation inside the main hall was revealed, the martial force squad leaders were surprised.

The Sect Master, as well as the general manager and the brigade leaders, were all lying on the floor.

"Everyone, listen! From now on, the White Mountain Sect Master is Master Yang, no, Yang Soryeong."

When Baekji shouted, the martial force squad leaders stepped forward.

"Who are you? What are you doing?"

Baekji raised his right hand. A whitish energy gathered on his palm.

"Strong energy? Hiccup."

When a mass of strong energy formed, General Manager Ximen was surprised and hiccuped.

Baekji threw the mass of strong energy.

"Get away!"

The martial force squad leaders had never seen strong energy before. Ordinary martial artists had no chance to see strong energy. Although they didn't know what it was, they thought it was extremely dangerous and all retreated.

Boom!

The strong energy exploded in front of the White Hall Great Light.

"Keo-heok!"

"Aack!"

As the fragments of the strong energy scattered, not only the squad leaders but also the martial force members were thrown in all directions.

"The next one who talks back, I'll strike him down on the spot."

Baekji threatened, but no one answered.

"You have to answer. Should I pull out your tongues?"
