Little Demon Reversion to Youth

Chapter 70

Tang Qianhui regained his composure.

The person in front of him was no longer his son. As the family head, he could not be shaken in the face of a family crisis.

"Hehehe. I just borrowed it for a while. Isn't my place right here, the Tang family? I just came to find my place."

"Nonsense! The day you left the family, you were no longer a person of the Tang family."

When Tang Qianhui dismissed him, Tang Tian'e chuckled.

"That's not for you to decide. There may be cases where I abandon the Tang family, but the Tang family cannot abandon me."

"Do you think the Tang family will accept you?"

In the narrow passage, the two faced each other, a zhang apart.

Tang Tian'e caressed his face and said, "When the family head dies, it is only natural that the young family head succeeds him. This brat was quite trusted in the Tang family."

"Don't be ridiculous! Your identity has already been exposed."

"Kehehe. You mean Yunseol, that bitch? By now, she'll be waiting for you in the afterlife."

"...!"

Tang Tian'e let out a triumphant laugh.

"You're as quick-witted as ever. When did you find out that I had borrowed Yunlong's body?"

A painful light flashed in Tang Qianhui's eyes.

He did not know what the end of the 'soul exchange grand law' would be. In the past, all those who had been possessed by the 'soul exchange grand law' had died.

Tang Qianhui gritted his teeth and resolved that he had lost his son. As a father, it felt as if his heart was breaking, but as the family head, he had to do what he had to do.

"I just assumed it as one of several situations."

Tang Qianhui pushed out the poison that had seeped into his palm, but the poison qi fiercely dug into his blood vessels instead.

This was the first time he had encountered such a poison.

His heart sank.

'Blood poison? I was careless.'

He had acted naturally to test Tang Yunlong and had been hit by the blood poison. He had been able to do so because his body had already achieved 'hundred poisons immunity', but the blood poison was not just any poison.

He had not known that Tang Tian'e would even possess the blood poison. It was known that the blood poison was difficult to manufacture, and that only a very small number in the Blood Sect used it.

"Hehe. Don't bother. No matter how much of a poison king you are, you can't handle the blood poison. If you push it out with your internal energy, the poison qi will run wild instead."

Since Tang Tian'e's words were true, Tang Qianhui's face hardened gravely.

In the past, numerous masters had been defeated by the blood poison.

The blood poison gnawed at his internal energy and had already reached his wrist.

Tang Qianhui's moniker was 'Poison King'. If he were given time, there was no poison he could not detoxify. Moreover, he had even found out the detoxification method for the 'life and death grass', which was presumed to be the main ingredient of the blood poison.

But there was too little time for that.

Tang Tian'e sneered.

"It was unexpected that a brat who knew the detoxification method for the 'life and death grass' would appear. Thanks to that, I had to hurry a bit, you know? Tang Yunlong, this brat's body was so weak that I was planning to take it over after raising his internal energy a bit."

Tang Qianhui glared at Tang Tian'e.

"Don't look at me with those eyes. The one who is wronged is me. You've been occupying my place and have been eating and living well, so why don't you just follow your daughter?"

"You're mistaken."

"What?"

"You saw me wrong then and now."

Tang Qianhui raised his right hand and struck his left elbow with the side of his hand.

As a sharp 'hand blade' passed by, his arm fell off.

The severed cross-section was smooth, and no blood flowed.

Tang Tian'e was slightly surprised and took a step back.

"You're vicious. Can you really handle me with one arm? Have you forgotten that my martial arts were originally higher?"

"That's not something a person who has made a surprise attack should say, is it? Why did you do it? Isn't it because you couldn't perfectly unfold your martial arts with Yunlong's body that you made a surprise attack?"

Tang Qianhui raised his right hand. A strong qi gathered in his hand.

Tang Tian'e retreated again.

Tang Qianhui's words were true. If it had been Tang Tian'e's own body, he would have had nothing to fear, but with Tang Yunlong's body, he could not handle Tang Qianhui.

Although he had burned fresh blood every night to raise his internal energy in a short period of time, he was not yet confident that he could handle Tang Qianhui.

Tang Qianhui struck with his right hand. A bluish 'thousand poisons hand blade' rushed towards Tang Tian'e.

A blood-red strong qi gathered in Tang Tian'e's hands.

'Blood Hand Grand Seal?'

In the past, it was said that only the Blood Sect leader and the left and right honored ones could use the 'Blood Hand Grand Seal'.

Tang Qianhui's face hardened gravely.

Boom!

When the strong qi collided in the underground passage, the ground shook with an explosion.

In that moment, Tang Qianhui broke the secret passage door of Tang Yunseol and rushed out, shouting, "Four Shadows!"

When Tang Qianhui shouted with his internal energy, it echoed throughout the Tang family's estate.

* * *

Shik!

Seogeok!

A Blood Sect member, whose chest had been cut long, collapsed, spewing blood.

Nangong Zhao, following the sword he had raised, turned his body, held it upside down, and stabbed behind him.

Thump!

A Blood Sect member who had been striking down with a sword from behind hurriedly retreated and swung his sword.

The Blood Sect members were concentrating their attacks on Nangong Zhao.

The Martial Alliance's secret safe house.

In a big city like Chengdu, it was fitting for a Martial Alliance branch to be established, but they were only operating one secret safe house.

It was a move conscious of the hegemon of Chengdu, the Tang family.

Only two warriors in charge of communication were stationed at the safe house.

In the dead of night, Blood Sect members had rushed in.

There were over thirty of them. On this side, there were Nangong Zhao, the Tang siblings, and the two Martial Alliance communication team members.

Although they were outnumbered, since Nangong Zhao had stepped forward and had been running wild like a madman, they had been engaged in a tight close battle for a while.

But that was also for a moment.

"Keuk!"

One of the safe house communication team members was hit by the joint attack of two Blood Sect members and collapsed.

Shik!

Tang Yunseol's dagger lodged in the neck of the Blood Sect member who had killed the communication team member.

It was fortunate that the Blood Sect members were reluctant to get close, wary of Tang Yunqing's poison.

Nangong Zhao, while striking down the rushing Blood Sect members, did not miss the two people standing and watching from behind.

The moment those two moved, a real crisis would come.

Although the two both looked like ordinary merchants, unlike their appearance, their contained auras were very stable.

The fact that they were watching calmly even as their subordinates were dying seemed to be with the intention of grasping Nangong Zhao's martial arts level.

Nangong Zhao instinctively felt that it would be difficult for him to handle if the two attacked at the same time.

Chae-chaeng!

The Blood Sect members in front of him were also not to be trifled with. Because they were rushing in, risking their lives, there were also dangerous moments when his sword was tied up.

"Eok!"

Another communication team member collapsed.

Then, the Tang siblings and Nangong Zhao were surrounded, with their backs to each other.

In that moment, the tall, thin one of the two who had been in the back stepped forward and said, "Quite good. You've lasted a long time."

* * *

The Tang family's medicine hall was large in scale.

Around the three-story medicine hall were large and small buildings, and Baekji was staying at the guest house with Wu Qingshu.

A few doctors who had come with the 'using poison to counteract poison' assignment were staying together at the guest house. Wu Qingshu had gone to discuss medicine with them and had no intention of coming back.

Although he had almost been hit by an assassin during the day, it seemed that he could not miss the medical discussion.

Baekji, who was left alone, went to bed, but he could not sleep.

The fact that Tang Qianhui had recognized the secret of his rejuvenation and his realm was truly unexpected.

'I have to be careful.'

It would be troublesome if the rumor spread when he himself was not sure if the rejuvenation was true. Moreover, if his martial arts level became known, that would also cause a stir.

Baekji now knew what kind of existence a master of the 'transformation realm' was. Since it was a matter of the ranking of the top ten masters changing, it would attract the attention of the world, and troublesome things would surely happen.

Although he was an existence that could reign as the hegemon of the martial world, the future that Baekji was thinking of was simple.

'Find out my identity, raise the Yang-Bai Merchant Sect, and show the master the sea.'

He had not forgotten that he had told Yang Soryeong that he would make her rich and show her the sea.

'Ah, I have to beat up the Blood Sect brats too.'

Brats who played with people's souls had to disappear. Although he had become a person who could not even kill a single ant at will, he could at least beat the Blood Sect members to the brink of death.

'But how do I hide my martial arts? The old man in the lower building is also quite high-level. Should I match him to Bai Renguang's level? Then I'd be too weak...'

As Baekji was pondering his martial arts level, a sudden, urgent shout erupted.

"Four Shadows!"

Baekji shot up from his bed.

"Tang Qianhui?"

His voice was filled with the urgency of someone on the brink of life and death.

Baekji, who had sprung from the bed like a spring, broke the window and flew in the direction where the voice had come from.

* * *

Tang Tian'e thought, 'Oh no'.

He had thought that Tang Qianhui would try to kill him, but unexpectedly, he had chosen to flee.

Tang Tian'e did not know how scary the blood poison he had personally administered was. The Poison King, Tang Qianhui, had to draw out all his internal energy to stop the poison qi from spreading.

The 'hand blade' that had attacked Tang Tian'e was Tang Qianhui's final blow, into which he had poured even his vital energy.

One of the four shadows who had been in Tang Qianhui's residence, upon hearing the family head's urgent shout, immediately flew and ran over.

The other three shadows who had been in their respective residences also immediately flew over.

"You fox-like brat! To have tricked me. But it's no use!"

Tang Tian'e rushed to kill Tang Qianhui before the guards arrived.

But he felt a tremendous energy shooting towards him rapidly. At the same time, a powerful energy rushed out from the inner courtyard.

He saw Tang Qianhui stagger and then collapse.

He only needed to deliver one blow, but the approaching energy was too fast.

He might not be able to escape.

'Damn it!'

As Tang Tian'e gave up and was about to retreat and close the secret passage, the wall of Tang Yunseol's room exploded and the window shattered.

Boom!

The one who had broken through the wall was Baekji.

Then, the one who had broken through the window was a middle-aged woman in a monk's robe.

"Tang family head!"

"Aack!"

The middle-aged woman, upon seeing the fallen Tang Qianhui and Baekji, screamed and extended her twin palms. A powerful palm energy poured towards Baekji.

"This ajumma?"

Baekji extended his left hand and blocked the palm energy.

Boom!

The middle-aged woman was pushed back three steps.

"Ajumma! Get a grip! Someone's about to die!"

Baekji spread his hands to show that he had no intention of fighting.

At the same time, the four shadows arrived.

"Family head!"

Then, the other three shadows arrived, and the entire Tang family was in an uproar. Baekji spread his ki.

Since the entire Tang family was in an uproar, he could not find out the young family head's ki.

"The secret passage! Where is the secret passage?"

Baekji shouted at the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman unknowingly looked to one side.

As the first and second shadows were about to go to the secret passage, Tang Qianhui, who had seemed to have fainted, forced his eyes open, coughed up blood, and said, "No... blood, blood poison..."

Then, he completely lost consciousness.

The moment the first shadow was about to grab the mechanism handle, a bamboo staff flew and stuck in the wall.

The first shadow hurriedly retreated and became wary of Baekji.

"Didn't you just hear? He said there's blood poison."

Baekji came and struck a blow towards the area around the mechanism handle.

Boom!

The entire wall was torn down, and a staircase leading down appeared.

"Go and catch him."

The four shadows had heard from Tang Qianhui that Baekji was the Honored One of the Yang-Bai Merchant Sect and a master of the 'transformation realm', and had been warned not to treat him as an enemy.

Although Baekji spoke as if giving an order, they did not talk back.

"Thank you."

The first and second shadows entered the secret passage.

Baekji went to Tang Qianhui's side and examined his condition. He was unconscious.

"One arm is gone?"

The middle-aged woman, seeing that Tang Qianhui's left arm had been cut off at the elbow, poured out a murderous aura from her entire body.

"Wh-what brat dared... the family head..."

Then, she glared at the third and fourth shadows.

"What are you brats doing?"

"We're sorry. We didn't know he had come to Miss Yunseol's residence through the secret passage."

The four shadows took turns secretly guarding Tang Qianhui. Today was the fourth shadow's day to guard, but coincidentally, because he had moved through the secret passage, they had lost track of him.

"If the family head is harmed, I will not leave you brats alone."

At the middle-aged woman's sharp words, the four shadows could not say anything.

'She has a temper.'

The middle-aged woman resembled Yunseol, and it was immediately clear that they were mother and daughter.

However, her height and build were larger than those of an ordinary man.

In a word, she was a beautiful woman with a magnificent physique.

'She's not a monk, so why is she wearing a monk's robe?'

He could not pry into another family's affairs. Above all, the Tang family head's condition was not good.

"Ajumma. This is not the time to be assigning blame. Hurry and call a doctor."

The middle-aged woman glared at Baekji.

"Who are you? Why is an outsider here?"

"Me?"
