Little Demon Reversion to Youth

Chapter 201

The Cult Leader had not shown himself much since the subjugation of the 'Mingshan Sect'. After the war with the Blood Sect ended, he had entered the 'Heavenly Demon Cave' and had not come out at all.

But there had been no trouble because the Young Lord was there.

So Ya-hu was practically the same as the Cult Leader. Although he did not stay in the sect for many days, since he had led the sect by putting the 'Bright Left Emissary' as his deputy, the sect had run smoothly.

Even after the death of the Young Lord was known, the 'Bright Left Emissary' had been in charge, but the situation had changed when the great elder of the Hyuk-ryeon family had announced the ascension of the Cult Leader a while ago.

According to the sect's rules, the 'Bright Left Emissary' had stepped down, and the Elder Hall had taken charge of the sect.

The Elder Hall was composed of a total of twenty-four elders, of which twelve were from the twelve guardian families, and the remaining twelve were the share of the other families.

The great elder of the Hyuk-ryeon family, the head of that Elder Hall, had been crippled by Baekji a few days ago. Not only had the Elder Hall been turned upside down, but there had been a high demand to punish Baekji for treason, but the elders from the So family and the elders who wanted to check the Hyuk-ryeon family had opposed this, and they were in the middle of a heated debate.

So it meant that there was no unified command system in the sect now. Since the 'Great Successor War' would be held soon and a Young Lord would be elected, no one had thought of this situation as serious.

Hyuk-ryeon Gi had aimed for this blind spot.

So Jeong-hu's face became serious.

It was difficult to expect the Elder Hall, where many people were gathered, to respond properly to a crisis situation. Even the great elder was in a state of 'yugo' (unable to perform his duties).

"Who is giving the orders now?"

No one could answer. Zhong Yue broke the silence.

"Isn't it the Elder Hall? Since the great elder has become like that, they must have elected a deputy."

Since the situation had occurred just a few days ago, it had not yet been announced who the deputy was.

"Summon Elder So. No, I must go."

A vacuum had occurred in the sect's authority. Since there had been no such precedent, So Jeong-hu was also flustered.

"First, send the 'Blood Wind Squad' to support 'Shi Fortress', and the rest of the martial force will guard the estate."

After So Jeong-hu gave the order, he said to Baekji, "So Baek-cheon, go first and find out the situation."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head. Looking at his expression, it seemed he was enjoying ordering So Ya-hu around.

Baekji smiled inwardly. So Jeong-hu had been mischievous since he was young.

'I'll see you when I get back!'

Although Baekji gave a threatening look with his eyes, So Jeong-hu pretended not to see and left the main hall.

Chaeng! Chae-chaeng!

Pung!

Weapons clashed, and 'sharp energy' flew wildly.

The enemies in gray were strong. They had arrived at 'Shi Fortress' in less than half a 'shichen' and had immediately attacked.

Their number was a whopping three thousand.

It would have been overwhelming even if they were ordinary martial artists, but they were all first-class martial artists. Although they had firmly closed the fortress gate and had shot arrows, it was no use. They had deflected the flying arrows and had jumped over the fortress wall.

They had not revealed their identity, nor had they stated their purpose.

They had cut down those who blocked their way and had pushed in. As befitting a well-trained martial force, when a master appeared, three or four would form a team and attack together.

The successors of the twelve guardian families were also immediately caught up in the fight.

Swik!

"Keok!"

Although Wu Wen-sheng, who was fighting with three, barely managed to defeat one, the one who was fighting next to him immediately filled the empty spot.

It was a 'three-talent formation'.

"You damn... what kind of brats are you? Why is your breathing so well-matched?"

Wu Wen-sheng cursed and deflected the flying saber. Although his martial arts were higher, since three first-class martial artists were attacking in unison, it was overwhelming.

Besides, they were also cleverly using hidden weapons.

Ting!

The moment he deflected a flying dagger that was flying towards the back of his head, the sound of metal clashing was heard from the side. It was Zhu Tian-yang, who had run and had deflected a shuriken that was flying, aiming for Wu Wen-sheng's side, with his sword.

"Get a hold of yourself! These brats are not ordinary! We also have to practice."

Zhu Tian-yang stood with his back to Wu Wen-sheng. Zhu Tian-yang's expression was hardened.

"Ugh... where did these brats... they are not from the Central Plains."

Wu Wen-sheng ground his teeth. His side had almost been blown away.

As the two stood with their backs to each other, the four enemies that Zhu Tian-yang had been fighting joined, and the number increased to seven.

Even while fighting, Wu Wen-sheng's mouth did not rest.

"You were fighting with four? You're better than me."

"I was always better than you. Let's change the ranking now."

The Wu Wen family of Wu Wen-sheng was the ninth in the ranking, and the Zhu family of Zhu Tian-yang was the tenth.

"That's not right. You're a little older. I'll acknowledge that I'm the junior, so let's keep the family ranking as it is."

The mouths of the two did not rest.

"Look at these brats. One is missing from the seven, and it's a 'six-harmony formation'. What do you think?"

The three brats who were attacking Wu Wen-sheng had unfolded a 'three-talent formation', and the brats who were attacking Zhu Tian-yang had unfolded a 'four-image formation', but when the two combined, one was missing, and they unfolded a 'six-harmony formation'.

Zhu Tian-yang grumbled, brandishing his sword.

"Damn it, aren't I being completely ignored because of you? When I was alone, it was a 'four-image formation'. When I combined with you, one was missing."

"What are you talking about? These brats can't do a 'seven-star formation'!"

"As if... can't you see that brat glaring from behind? Just be careful of hidden weapons."

As soon as those words were finished, the brat who had fallen behind threw a hidden weapon.

"You have a foul mouth. Just shut up and fight."

Wu Wen-sheng, who had barely blocked it, nagged Zhu Tian-yang.

The fight was extremely unfavorable.

Although the martial force of 'Shi Fortress', as befitting the front line of the sect, formed a formation and fought, the number of enemies was overwhelmingly large. Besides, the individual martial arts also surpassed the martial force of 'Shi Fortress'.

"Keu-euk!"

The number of 'Shi Fortress' martial artists who were screaming and collapsing increased. The men in gray did not even scream, even when they were hit by a sword and collapsed.

Kwa-ak!

The moment Shi Fengsheng struck the shoulder of one of the men in gray with his saber, 'saber energy' stretched out, aiming for his head, side, and leg.

"Hmph!"

Although Shi Fengsheng snorted, his face was grave. The 'saber energy' that was rushing in from three places was to lure him. The moment he blocked it, the brat who had fallen behind would attack, and it might be difficult to block that.

Since it was so urgent, there was no other alternative.

Shi Fengsheng pushed the man in gray who was stuck on his saber and rotated his body to avoid the 'saber energy' of his head and side. But the 'saber energy' that was aiming for his lower body suddenly, 'ssuk', stretched out and grazed his thigh.

Although it did not pierce his 'protective energy', his clothes were torn, and a red line was drawn on his thigh.

"Damn... how embarrassing."

Shi Fengsheng's face contorted. He was dealing with a 'seven-star formation' unfolded by seven people.

"You're all dead!"

'Sharp energy' stretched out from Shi Fengsheng's saber.

Although the 'sharp energy' scattered in all directions, the energy generated from the 'seven-star formation' cleverly deflected it.

Although the clothes of the seven men in gray were torn to rags by the 'sharp energy' of the 'sharp energy', their bodies were fine. Again, three streams of 'saber energy' flew in. They were clearly brats who were specialized in dealing with masters.

Shi Fengsheng keenly felt that this fight would not be easy.

Three had also stuck to Bi Jun-hua. Bi Jun-hua fought, brandishing her soft, supple sword like a whip.

'This is not just a 'three-talent formation'. It's not a 'reverse three-talent formation' either... who devised this?'

Besides martial arts, the Bi family was also knowledgeable in formations and mechanisms. Although Bi Jun-hua had also seen many formation books, it was the first time she had seen the 'three-talent formation' that the three men in gray were silently unfolding.

Of course, it was also difficult to block. Conversely, Bi Jun-hua's soft sword was blocked in the middle and was cut off. Although there were only three, it was difficult to even pull her body out.

That was how much the combination of the three was completely dominating the space.

If this continued, it seemed it would take a lifetime. Bi Jun-hua bit her lower lip and then suddenly soared her body and then, in the empty air, she flipped and poured out flying daggers.

As many as twelve flying daggers flew, and their target was one brat. At the same time, she brandished her soft sword towards the other two brats.

It was a kind of 'flesh-for-bone' tactic.

"Heok!"

The man in gray, whose attack was blocked by four flying daggers turned his body, but two were stuck in his shoulder.

In the meantime, the 'saber energy' that the remaining two men in gray had scattered aimed for Bi Jun-hua, who was in the empty air.

It was difficult to move her body again in the empty air. The men in gray thought they had caught Bi Jun-hua with this one move.

But Bi Jun-hua's figure rolled sideways in the empty air and then landed at a distance of one 'zhang'.

A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the men in gray.

"Are you surprised? This is the 'Cloud Dragon Turning Heaven' of the Kunlun Sect!"

During the 'Righteous-Demonic Great War' in the past, they had fought with the Righteous Path and had also studied each other's martial arts a lot. It was mainly handled by the Bi family, and it was a 'life-saving secret move' that had been created by modifying the 'Cloud Dragon Great Eight Forms' that had been obtained at that time.

As Bi Jun-hua shouted with a triumphant look, she rushed in fiercely and brandished her soft sword.

Since the 'three-talent formation' was broken, she thought she would be able to take them out right away.

The remaining two men in gray gestured to each other, and then they crossed, and one jumped into the empty air, and the remaining one lowered his waist and pushed in from below.

The soft sword was blocked.

"What? A 'heaven and earth formation'?"

As soon as the 'three-talent formation' was broken, they immediately changed to a 'heaven and earth formation' and responded to Bi Jun-hua's attack. He could see the remaining brat pulling out the flying daggers stuck in his shoulder and wrapping his wound by tearing his upper garment.

It was leisure.

"Ah. Damn... what kind of brats are these?"

Bi Jun-hua hastily brandished her soft sword and cursed.

Weizhi Shouchuan was at least at ease. The brats who were rushing at him had unfolded a 'five-element formation'.

The men in gray had grasped the martial prowess of the ones who had been designated as masters and had unfolded a formation that matched them, but Weizhi Shouchuan had cleverly hidden his martial prowess.

Normally, he would have had to deal with a 'seven-star formation' like Shi Fengsheng. But that didn't mean it was simple. The 'five-element formation' or the 'seven-star formation' was not that their power was lacking. However, since he could handle the 'internal energy' that the five were spewing, he had time to look around.

The martial force of 'Shi Fortress' was holding out, forming a square formation, but they looked like a flock of sheep being driven by a pack of wolves.

"Keu-euk!"

"You can't be pierced! Even if you die, die together!"

Although the martial force leaders and the team leaders constantly encouraged them, the ones who were collapsing were the 'Shi Fortress' martial artists.

The real fight was behind the training ground, where the masters were having a fierce battle.

Shi Tal-in, the head of the Shi family, was fighting with two men in gray, and both of them seemed to be above the 'true realm'.

The other masters of the Shi family were also fighting with two or three enemies. The successors of the twelve guardian families were also having a hard time, facing three or four enemies.

What was more bleak was that not all the flocked enemies had participated in the battle.

More than half of the enemies were surrounding the area and were watching. Then, when one person collapsed, someone would pop out and fill the spot.

'They are brats who have experienced war!'

Weizhi Shouchuan's spine chilled.

The number of enemies was overwhelmingly large. But the reason they were not all stepping forward was because the efficiency would drop if a chaotic battle broke out.

'The head! I have to find the head!'

Weizhi Shouchuan, who had avoided the saber that was flying at his head and had deflected the saber that was rushing at his side, saw a strange sight.

A person was sitting on an eight-person palanquin, and in front of him, a middle-aged man in the attire of a scholar in black was visible.

The one who was sitting on the eight-person palanquin was a pale, white-haired old man, and as if he were not interested in the fight that was happening in front of him, he was stroking his own fingernails.

The middle-aged man's eyes met Weizhi Shouchuan's. The middle-aged man smiled and then brandished the folding fan in his hand.

"Heok!"

In the short time he had looked away, 'saber energy' had grazed his back.

Although he did not know who had interfered and when, it was a 'six-harmony formation' with one person added.
