Little Demon Reversion to Youth

Chapter 185

The waiter was startled. He had unconsciously seen the face of the 'Seven Phases Rakshasa' a few days ago. Her appearance was similar... and her way of speaking was exactly the same.

Baekji, with a bitter smile, said to the waiter, "Bring the meal to my residence."

After Baekji entered the separate building, he warned Bi Yun-seol, "You shouldn't gouge out people's eyeballs carelessly."

Bi Yun-seol, who had awakened again... was the original 'Seven Phases Rakshasa'.

Although she had been an unparalleled, affectionate lover to So Ya-hu, Bi Yun-seol was a woman of the Bi family, one of the twelve guardian families of the Demonic Cult.

As her memories had disappeared along with her soul, the unique, brutal energy of the women of the Bi family, which had been passed down for generations, was manifested without filtration.

"Shut up! Who is a little brat like you to lecture?"

Because Baekji had reincarnated too much... on the outside, Bi Yun-seol looked like his older sister.

'Hmm... it's one thing that she doesn't remember me... but in this state, I can't send her back to the Bi family...?'

Although she had no memories, just like when Baekji had woken up under the wall in Shaanxi... instead, her original temperament was left in her spirit and ethereal soul, and she had become a very dangerous woman.

Although Baekji had repeatedly explained the situation so far... she did not believe him. That was also understandable, as she did not have fifty years of time. It was just that she had woken up after a short sleep.

"I don't know what you did... but it would be good to put it back as soon as possible. If I find my memory... and what you did is revealed... you might be a dead man on that day."

Bi Yun-seol, thinking that Baekji had played some trick and that she had lost her memory, was constantly threatening him.

Since Bi Yun-seol had woken up on the peak of the Heavenly Mountains, she knew nothing about the 'Heavenly Demon Flying Cave'.

The 'Heavenly Demon Flying Cave' was a space that only the Cult Leader and the Young Lord, who had learned the 'Heavenly Demon Divine Art', could enter.

It was So Ya-hu who had defied this and had brought Bi Yun-seol's body into the 'Heavenly Demon Flying Cave'.

At that time, everyone had thought that Bi Yun-seol was dead. In fact, her soul had been stolen, and her ethereal soul had scattered.

Although a faint breath was left, it was a desperate situation where the spirit would also scatter the moment it stopped.

Baekji, no, So Ya-hu, had held Bi Yun-seol and had rushed into the 'Heavenly Demon Flying Cave' without a plan.

"No. You cannot bring in someone who has not learned the 'Heavenly Demon Qi'."

Although his father had opposed it, So Ya-hu had been stubborn, and in the end, his father had enveloped the two with 'Heavenly Demon Qi' and had brought them into the 'Heavenly Demon Flying Cave'.

If he had not allowed it, the compromise that the Cult Leader had made, backing down a step at Baekji's threat that he would leave the Demonic Cult, whether he was the Young Lord or not... was that Bi Yun-seol should not know about the 'Heavenly Demon Flying Cave'.

Baekji, of course, had So Ya-hu's memories, so he had kept that promise.

At this, after coming out of the 'Heavenly Demon Flying Cave', he had woken Bi Yun-seol on the peak of the Heavenly Mountains.

However, from Bi Yun-seol's point of view, it was a dumbfounding situation.

When she woke up, it was the peak of the Heavenly Mountains, so cold that she thought she would freeze to death. Besides, a thunderbolt had suddenly struck, and she had been scared out of her wits.

As if it were aiming for her, a thunderbolt had struck three times, but it had fortunately disappeared in the middle.

In fact, Baekji had blocked it for her... but Bi Yun-seol, who was not in her right mind, did not know that fact.

When she had barely come to her senses, she had no memory of who she was.

A young brat had told her a story that didn't make sense...

'You want me to believe that? You crazy brat.'

Although she had no memory, since her spirit and ethereal soul were left... she had the awareness that she was of a noble status, having grown up in a very precious family.

'This brat was aiming for that.'

He had been her fiancé fifty years ago, and he had reincarnated.

But he couldn't reveal that fact, so he was pretending to be dead and was acting as his grandson.

In a word... he was a brat with a strong swindler's temperament.

But since she did not know who she was or where this was... she had followed him for now.

"Let's eat first..."

The waiters came in and brought food. As it was food that the grandson of the Young Lord would eat, the best dishes came out.

Bi Yun-seol was also satisfied with this.

After eating, Baekji said to Bi Yun-seol, "I have a place to go for a while, so rest."

Baekji left the inn.

Although it seemed like a short time that he had entered the 'Heavenly Demon Cave', several days had passed in the meantime.

Those who had been waiting for the grandson of the Young Lord in front of the inn had all scattered.

The street, where darkness had fallen, was very quiet.

That was also understandable, as the ascension of the Cult Leader had been declared, and the 'Great Successor War' had intensified. Since the winner of the 'Great Successor War' could immediately inherit the position of Cult Leader, the twelve guardian families were putting all their efforts into it.

Since there was no Cult Leader to be mindful of, it was a situation where they were openly killing each other. As a blood wind blew, the sect fell into a chaos where one could not see an inch ahead.

Hwik―.

Baekji soared into the dark, empty air.

A moment later, the place where Baekji appeared was the residence of the Western Divine General, in the west of the inner fortress.

The cozy residence, with a main building, a side building, and a rear garden, was on the simple side for the residence of the Western Divine General, who was a top brass of the sect. Through the open window of the main building, the figure of Jian Yi, who was sitting at a desk and reading a book, was visible.

As Baekji approached the main building and made his presence known, Jian Yi raised his head and stood up.

"Young Lord!"

Baekji and Jian Yi had last seen each other in the village in front of the Martial Alliance. After that, Jian Yi had gone to find the Southern Divine General, Hu Gu-ling, and then had followed the tracks of the 'Divine Doctor of Life and Death' through Dongting Lake and had come to Zhaojia County.

When Jian Yi and Hu Gu-ling had arrived in Zhaojia County, Baekji had already left for the Heavenly Mountains.

"It's been a while."

Although it was the first time he had seen him after knowing that his identity before reincarnation was the Young Lord, because he had So Ya-hu's memories, he did not feel so unfamiliar.

Baekji very naturally sat in the seat of honor. Jian Yi slowly looked Baekji up and down as if he were seeing his face for the first time.

"You certainly have the appearance of your childhood... why didn't I recognize you?"

"When I took you in before, I was a few years older than now... so that could be it."

Baekji said as if it were nothing. Although his face was young, the 'qi' that emanated from his entire body was extremely serious.

A peculiar light flowed from Jian Yi's face. He had felt the energy of the Young Lord before his reincarnation.

"The 'qi' is completely different from when I saw you at the Martial Alliance. Now I can tell at a glance that you are the Young Lord. As expected... a person's impression seems to be determined not by their external appearance but by the energy that comes from within. The Young Lord's unique temperament is..."

As Jian Yi's chatter was about to drag on, Baekji waved his hand.

"There is no time. Summarize and report what you have found out about the sect's situation and Hyuk-ryeonhu."

"Ah, I understand. I have already organized it, knowing this would happen."

Jian Yi went to the drawer next to him and then took out a thick booklet.

"I heard that the Young Lord has lost his memory... I have briefly written down what happened in the past, the current situation of the sect, the movements of the Hyuk-ryeon family, and the path the sect should take in the future. Then I will read it to you."

As Jian Yi opened the booklet and cleared his throat, the booklet, 'hwik', was sucked into Baekji's hand.

"That's good. You don't have to go to the trouble. I can just read it."

Baekji opened the booklet.

―The time I, your servant Jian Yi, met the Young Lord was when I was fifteen and had left home...

How Jian Yi had met So Ya-hu, and how he had helped him to ascend to the position of Young Lord... and after that, the process of him becoming the Western Divine General after serving as the butler of the Young Lord's hall and training day and night was written in detail.

"What is this? Is this Jian Yi's biography?"

"Ah... I thought that if I wrote it vividly, it would help the Young Lord to find his memory, so I wrote it briefly."

"Is this brief?"

Jian Yi shamelessly nodded his head as if to say so.

Baekji skipped Jian Yi's biography and read the part about the 'Jade Spirit Mountain' bloody battle. It was the content he had heard from the Demonic Advisor and Tie Yantai. The gist was the same, only that Jian Yi had used his literary talent to describe it more splendidly and stimulatingly.

Besides.

「...Following the Young Lord, who was cutting through a sea of blood and mountains of corpses... I, your servant Jian Yi, finally fought a close battle with the top brass of the Blood Sect... and fought a lonely battle against the 'Four Demonic Generals' and the 'Eight Demonic Legions' of the Blood Sect...」

Whenever he had a chance, he had exaggerated his own achievements, so it was just long.

Baekji suddenly felt his fists itch. As expected... the one he had beaten the most was Jian Yi. Although Tie Yantai had claimed that he had been beaten more, Baekji's fists said that was not so.

'Absolutely... let's not hit him.'

This was a decision as Baekji, not as So Ya-hu.

As he clenched his teeth and turned the next page, the current situation of the sect was finally written.

"So... the Hyuk-ryeon family, the Weizhi family, and the Shi family are competing?"

"That is correct. The So family has suddenly declared their non-participation. Many were disappointed."

Baekji nodded his head. Wu Ha must have refused the competition for the successor. For a disciple of the 'Three Immortals of Kunlun' to succeed to the great lineage of the Demonic Cult was absurd in itself.

"But... there is a person who has appeared like a dark horse. That is..."

Jian Yi dragged out his words and then, 'tak', hit the desk and said, "It is the Young Lord!"

"Me?"

"After the Young Lord revealed that he was the grandson of the Young Lord, a supporting force has been forming within the sect. There are even movements from some of the twelve guardian families to make a connection with the Young Lord."

"From the twelve guardian families?"

"Since the So family is neither affirming nor denying, the interest in the person called So Baek-cheon is growing day by day."

"..."

"In my opinion, it would be good for you to just take over the sect with the identity of So Baek-cheon..."

Baekji, without answering, continued to ask questions.

"Why is there so little about what you found out from Hyuk-ryeonhu?"

"He's not in his right mind, so what is there to find out?"

Baekji frowned.

"He's not in his right mind?"

"The effect of the truth-telling pill was very good. He has gone completely crazy."

"...You're saying you fed him a truth-telling pill?"

"Yes. Hongyeon, half a pill... and I, half a pill..."

"Ha..."

If he had fed him a whole pill from the beginning and had asked questions, he would have at least confessed... but half a pill was on the borderline between will and the effect of the medicine... so Hyuk-ryeonhu had been coming and going, crossing the state of cultivation deviation.

If he had used another half a pill after that... it would have given a decisive blow.

In the end, he had not even gotten a confession and had just made him go crazy.

And he had wasted a precious truth-telling pill.

"Where on earth did you get the truth-telling pill?"

"Hongyeon gave it to me."

Jian Yi, who did not know the inside story, answered as if it were nothing.

"Ugh..."

I want to beat him...

Jian Yi, who saw Baekji's gaze, stealthily stepped back. He remembered being hit at times like this.

But Baekji just trembled his fists.

'If I start hitting him once...'

It becomes a habit.

In the newly obtained memories of So Ya-hu, there was no memory of hitting his subordinates. It meant that a personality breakdown had not yet occurred.

Perhaps after Bi Yun-seol died... he had become aggressive. Then Jian Yi must have gotten on his nerves... and he had hit him once, and had hit him twice... and as it was repeated, the intensity must have gradually increased.

Then it had become a habit, and he had beaten this brat and that brat... and he had even gotten the perverted notoriety of the 'Young Lord's rod'.

'Let's endure... I can't repeat the same thing.'

He had even reached the realm of the Heavenly Demon...

He used his head instead of his hands. Although it was a short record, he looked at it again.

「...After the Hyuk-ryeonjong incident, the 'soul weaving art' has made a quantum leap, and it is proud that it will be on par with the 'soul spirit art' of the So family...」

Baekji frowned.

"What does this mean? The 'soul weaving art' has improved?"

"I don't know the details... but it seems the Hyuk-ryeon family has been intensively researching after the Blood Cult Leader took away the 'soul weaving art' in the past. It is my guess... but it seems they thought there was something they didn't know, to the extent that the Blood Cult Leader would aim for it."

"Not what you don't know, and take out the guesses, and just what you know! Just tell me the confirmed facts!"

Jian Yi hesitated and then said, "So, according to Hyuk-ryeonhu's words... it seems the 'soul weaving art' of the Hyuk-ryeon family has improved compared to the past..."

As Baekji glared, Jian Yi stopped talking.

"It seems to have improved? Did you see? Did you see that it has improved?"

"..."

"Just the facts!"

"On the way... when Hyuk-ryeonhu had briefly come to his senses, he said that he could suppress the 'soul spirit art' of the So family with the 'soul weaving art'."

"Report like that in the future. Just the facts, accurately!"

"...Yes."
