Little Demon Reversion to Youth Chapter 42

"Oh, right. nghua!"

Baekji, who was about to leave, called nghua, who was standing in a corner of the main hall.

nghua was being held hostage at the White Mountain Sect until Hongyan ca.

"Yes!"

"Apply it."

nghua took out a powder puff and applied sothing to the necks of those in the main hall.

"What is this?"

When Bai Renguang refused, Baekji said, "Stay still."

nghua applied the powder from the powder puff to the necks of those in the main hall and said, "It's Thousand Li Tracking Incense. Once it's applied, it lasts for a hundred days, so bathing is useless."

Baekji said, "It would be more certain if I fed them poison... what a sha. If those brats run away, nghua, you... will be hit."

Since Baekji couldn't kill people, he had changed his threat to 'will be hit'.

nghua looked mournful.

"I can only chase them."

"That's enough. How far can they run in a hundred days?"

Baekji glared.

"If you're caught running away, I'll break your limbs and shatter your dantian."

"...!"

"I can do that much."

Zheng Qing was worried about her daughter, who had beco the sect master of the White Mountain Sect.

"Let's just go ho."

"No. It's irreversible now."

Yang Soryeong held Zheng Qing's hand.

"From now on, no matter what anyone says, I won't be separated from you, mother."

Zheng Qing held her daughter's hand back.

"Yes. Let's die together if we have to."

Yang Soryeong buried her head in her mother's chest.

Zheng Qing stroked Yang Soryeong's back and said, "I'm worried about Old Man Ma."

She had been captured, and only Old Man Ma was left.

"I've sent people, so they will bring him."

Yang Soryeong had sent people as soon as she had heard Yang Jongu's words. Although their paths had crossed because Zheng Qing had been captured by the ixian Fang, they would bring Old Man Ma.

"Then that's a relief."

Just then, Bangbang ca and reported, "Guard Shang has co."

Shang Yiqing entered.

As soon as Shang Yiqing saw Zheng Qing, he prostrated himself. Since she would be his future mother-in-law, he had bowed deeply, but Zheng Qing felt burdened.

"Then you two talk."

When Zheng Qing left, Shang Yiqing said, "Grand Martial Uncle is going to the main mountain."

Since Bai Renguang had recovered on his own and Bai Yandu had also co to his senses, there was no reason for True Man Changshan to stay any longer.

"I have to escort Grand Martial Uncle to the main mountain."

"I'll see you off."

As Yang Soryeong was about to stand up, Shang Yiqing waved his hand.

"No. Grand Martial Uncle dislikes troubleso things and said he would go quietly. He said not to co out."

"Still..."

"He told to give you this."

Shang Yiqing held out a bundle in his hand.

When Yang Soryeong opened it, there were pine needle dumplings and a black pill.

"The pill is Baekji's dicine."

"Baekji's dicine?"

True Man Changshan had said he would make a dicine to cure Baekji's amnesia.

'If Baekji regains his mory, won't he beco even more fierce?'

She had seen with her own two eyes Baekji rcilessly beating the battered Mo Dahou and Hu Yeonjo with his bamboo staff.

'Still, I should give it to him, right?'

Yang Soryeong took the pill and placed it on the side table by the window.

Shang Yiqing hesitated and then said, "Soryeong. I will learn more martial arts at the main mountain. I will beco a master that no one can ignore and propose to you."

"..."

"You can wait until then, right? You can't marry the Young Sect Master."

"I have no intention of marrying anyone."

"Don't say that."

"It's true. I... will make money."

"What?"

"I am the daughter of a rchant. I will lead a rchant guild and travel to every corner of the world."

Shang Yiqing thought to himself.

'Soryeong is still young. Let's wait.'

Shang Yiqing said with a lighthearted expression, "Alright. As long as you don't marry the Young Sect Master."

A small estate a little away from the Hongng Brothel.

In a secret room deep in the inner garden, Hongyan was prostrating herself.

A man with a huge build was sitting on the head seat.

Hongyan couldn't even raise her head.

"A master who recognized the Nine-Tailed Jade Shattering has captured nghua? Is that what you're saying?"

"Yes."

Although she had reported the situation of the Hongng Brothel to the main sect, she had not expected such a high-ranking official to co so quickly.

'The rumor that all the Divine Generals have co out must be true.'

Considering the distance from the Heavenly Mountain where the sect was located, the Eastern Divine General must have been in the Central Plains.

The Eastern Divine General, Tie Yantai.

If the Cult Leader was the sky, the Four Divine Generals were the four pillars that supported the sky.

It was also surprising that Tie Yantai, who was in charge of the eastern sky, had appeared in Sichuan.

Hongyan was anxious, wondering if she would be punished for the cri of exposing a demonic art.

"But that master is a child of about fifteen?"

"That is correct."

"You don't know his origin sect?"

"No. That is what is strange. He calls a girl of the sa age 'master'. If he is the master of such a master, he must be an absolute master."

"There is an absolute master in the White Mountain Sect? Are you telling to believe that?"

Tie Yantai muttered to himself.

Even in the sect, which was full of masters, there were only two absolute masters.

The Cult Leader and the Young Cult Leader.

But an absolute master was crouching in a mid-sized sect in Sichuan?

Was that possible?

'It might be related to the appearance of the Blood Hand Grand Seal. Could he be a disciple of the Blood Sect Leader? No!'

At the thought that suddenly crossed his mind, Tie Yantai shot up.

'What if the Blood Sect Leader has obtained a new body through the Soul Exchange Grand Technique?'

Tie Yantai knew well that the Blood Sect used all sorts of demonic arts.

'I must find out for sure.'

"Are there any other movents around the White Mountain Sect?"

"After the Qingcheng Sect left, suspicious brats appeared. I am watching them, as they seem to be remnants of the Blood Sect. And a few days ago, the ixian Fang Master ca and went from the White Mountain Sect."

Hongyan reported on the movents of the White Mountain Sect and its surroundings.

Tie Yantai was not interested in the likes of the ixian Fang.

"Remnants of the Blood Sect? There was no such report."

"It is not yet certain..."

"I believe I ordered you to report any matter related to the Blood Sect, no matter how trivial, imdiately."

"I'm sorry."

After the report was finished, Tie Yantai said, "I told you not to use the martial arts of our sect carelessly, and you have violated that, so originally, I should punish you. However, since you have found out that the Blood Hand Grand Seal has appeared, I will offset your rits and derits."

Hongyan let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

A rumor had spread that the body of a warrior with the Blood Hand Grand Seal imprinted on it was at the front of the White Mountain Sect estate. When everyone said it wasn't true, Hongyan had approached Hu Yeonjo and had found out that Bai Renguang had been hit by the Blood Hand Grand Seal.

In the process, she had been caught by Baekji, and her demonic art had been revealed.

'That incident saved and killed .'

"You have a job to do. Spread the rumor about the Blood Hand Grand Seal."

"What?"

"I'm telling you to spread the rumor that Bai Renguang almost died after being hit by the Blood Hand Grand Seal. Also spread the rumor that there is a secret to his survival."

In the past, nurous masters had died from the Blood Hand Grand Seal. If it beca known that there was a way to survive, the whole world would be interested.

Tie Yantai decided to raise the stakes.

"I understand."

The orders of a superior must be carried out without question.

"But nghua..."

"I will take care of nghua. You may leave."

"Thank you."

After Hongyan left the secret room, the lone Tie Yantai muttered, "The rumor that the Blood Hand Grand Seal has appeared must reach the Young Cult Leader's ears..."

The Young Cult Leader gritted his teeth at the ntion of the Blood Sect.

The only ones who had learned the Blood Hand Grand Seal in the Blood Sect were the Blood Sect Leader and the left and right Honored Ones.

When they had smashed the Blood Sect, they had missed those three brats. Because of that, the Divine Generals had almost been killed by the Young Cult Leader.

But now, after more than ten years, the Blood Hand Grand Seal had appeared again.

It ant that one of the three brats had been at the White Mountain Sect.

If the Young Cult Leader heard this news, he would co running imdiately.

"But it's strange. To have lived in hiding all this ti and then to appear as soon as the Young Cult Leader went missing."

He was worried that the Young Cult Leader's disappearance might be a trick of the Blood Sect.

'First, I have to et that so-called master of the White Mountain Sect.'

While he was at it, he had to capture and interrogate Bai Renguang.

Tie Yantai was cautious. If that young master was one of the Blood Sect Leader or the left and right Honored Ones who had changed their body, it would be difficult to handle him alone. Moreover, there was also the girl who was his master.

'Grrr. Should I call that Western Divine ssenger brat?'

* * *

"What? Where did my dicinal herbs go?"

Baekji jumped up when he saw that his hidden dicinal herbs were gone.

Ajok said, "True Man Changshan took them."

"That old thief? I knew it!"

Baekji slung his bamboo staff over his shoulder.

"Where are you going?"

"I have to get my dicinal herbs back."

"True Man Changshan has left."

"What? Left? Where to?"

"I don't know. The Grandmaster would know."

"I'll chase him to the ends of hell!"

Baekji went to the Songhua Hall.

Yang Soryeong's heart sank at Baekji's fierce gaze.

"What's wrong now?"

"True Man Changshan, he went to Mount Qingcheng, right?"

"Why do you ask?"

Since the atmosphere was not ordinary, she couldn't just tell him.

"That old Taoist stole my dicinal herbs."

"No. The dicinal herbs were the paynt for your dicine."

"My dicine?"

Yang Soryeong explained the situation and brought the pill she had placed on the side table.

"Hmm. This is the dicine that will bring back my mory?"

"You don't need it now, do you? Your mory has returned."

Yang Soryeong said cautiously.

Even with half his mory returned, he was quick to say he would kill people. What would happen if it returned completely?

She was worried.

"It would be better if you didn't take it."

"No. My mory is not complete."

Baekji picked up the pill with an expectant look and sniffed it.

It had a bitter sll.

Baekji was one to eat any dicine he saw first. But for so reason, he felt a sense of unease.

'I don't know what tricks that old Taoist Changshan might have played. Could it be poison?'

He gently scraped the surface of the pill, made a powder, and tasted a little.

It was not poison.

'That old Taoist is good at making dicine. He's a so-called elder of a righteous sect, isn't he? It wouldn't be poison.'

Baekji put the pill in his mouth.

"How is it? Are you okay?"

Yang Soryeong asked.

Baekji's blinking eyes slowly closed.

"I'm sleepy."

Baekji collapsed, and Yang Soryeong caught him.

"Kids. Baekji is sleeping."

Bangbang and the others ca, carried Baekji, and laid him on the bed.

On the road to Mount Qingcheng, a cart pulled by two mules rolled along.

True Man Changshan, sitting on the cart loaded with bundles of dried dicinal herbs, was making pine needle dumplings and then picked his ear.

Shang Yiqing, who was leading the mules, saw him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I think I hear a buzzing sound in my ear."

"Could a bug have gotten in? Shall I take a look?"

"No. Hehehe. It happens sotis when you get old."

After going in silence, now that he had started talking, he wanted to ask what he was curious about.

"But, how did Baekji beco such a master?"

"You too can beco like that if you devote yourself to training for fifty or sixty years. Though you'll have to eat so good dicine sotis."

"Baekji is young, but he's a master."

"No. That brat is an old imugi."

'Imugi?'

Shang Yiqing, who knew that True Man Changshan sotis said strange things, just let it go.

Shang Yiqing licked his lips as he looked at the bundles of dicinal herbs.

"If I eat good dicine, will my internal energy increase rapidly?"

"To beco like Baekji, this kind of dicine is not enough. You have to eat things like a dragon's core or a thousand-year-old stalactite."

"Do such things really exist? Could Baekji have eaten sothing like that?"

"I don't know. It seems they exist, but I'm not sure. How would I know when that brat himself doesn't know what he ate?"

True Man Changshan had seen with his own two eyes Baekji send i Zhongjun and Wu Tai flying with one blow.

And he had solidified his suspicion that he was an absolute master who had undergone 'reversal of aging' after eating a legendary spiritual dicine like a dragon's core or a thousand-year-old stalactite.

'Who on earth has undergone reversal of aging?'

The reason he was hurrying back to Qingcheng was to find out about the movents of the absolute masters.

Reversal of aging was a story that only appeared in legends, like a dragon's core or a thousand-year-old stalactite.

He had occasionally seen cases where one's appearance beca younger when their martial arts reached the extre. But he had never seen a case where one's body completely transford into that of a child like Baekji.

Even True Man Changshan himself was half-convinced, half-skeptical.

"If Baekji's mory returns, we can ask him."

"I don't know. Will his mory return?"

"Since you gave him the dicine, Grand Martial Uncle, it will return."

"Hehehe."

True Man Changshan let out an unreadable laugh.

* * *

He opened his eyes.

A lazy sense of happiness washed over him.

"A-eum. I slept well."

He got up and stretched.

"Master Bai? You're up early this ti."

Zhongi, who was guarding the bedside,'s face lit up.

When Baekji had fallen asleep, the Seven Plums had taken turns guarding the bed.

They had said he would sleep for a few days, but he had woken up in just one day.

"I'll bring you sothing to drink."

Zhongi went out.

Baekji felt like he could fly.

An unknown sense of fulfillnt made him smile broadly.

"Why do I feel so good?"
