Little Demon Reversi Chapter 31

The martial force squad leaders glanced at each other.

"Words won't do."

Baekji stood up, ca down from the dais, and placed his foot on the head of the fallen Hu Yeonjo.

"Your subordinates are not listening. This is all your fault. I will smash your head."

Hu Yeonjo was horrified and shouted, "You bastards! Will you not kneel at once?"

At Hu Yeonjo's words, the Great Light Brigade mbers all knelt on one knee.

Then, Baekji placed his foot on Mo Dahou's head this ti.

"Your subordinates' knees are stiff. Let's see how hard your head is."

"We will follow your orders. Please spare the Brigade Leader's life!"

When the White Temple Brigade knelt, the White Mountain Brigade warriors followed suit.

"You should have done that from the beginning."

Baekji said to General Manager Xin as he went up to the dais.

"From now on, be good to the Sect Master. And..."

Baekji made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.

"If you embezzle money one more ti, you will die."

"That will not happen. Hiccup."

General Manager Xin hurriedly prostrated himself.

"You two brats, raise your heads."

Mo Dahou and Hu Yeonjo raised their heads.

"If you bicker again, I will break your limbs."

"I, I understand."

"I will keep that in mind."

Mo Dahou and Hu Yeonjo repeated.

Yang Jongu opened his mouth.

"Hey. Let

have my wife treated."

Mae Yeoncheong's mouth was torn, and she had fainted, and since she was still bleeding, it was dangerous to leave her as she was.

"That bitch deserves to die."

"I'm asking you."

When Yang Jongu pleaded, Yang Soryeong stepped forward.

"Let him do it."

Baekji looked at Yang Soryeong and said, "To be a sect master, you have to be ruthless. That bitch is a bad bitch."

"Still..."

At Yang Soryeong's words, Baekji frowned but nodded.

"Do as you please. You are the sect master now."

Yang Jongu helped Mae Yeoncheong up.

General Manager Xin rubbed his hands and said, "Sect Master... no, what should we do with the forr Sect Master and the White Mountain Brigade Leader?"

"Throw them in prison. They will be beheaded at the Sect Master's inauguration banquet."

Everyone got goosebumps. He treated human lives like insects.

'A demon lord!'

* * *

Yang Soryeong sat on the chair on the dais. Baekji moved the grand master's chair to the right and sat at an angle, dozing. It seed he was sleepy again even after sleeping so much.

General Manager Xin, with a splint on one leg, reported on the financial status of the White Mountain Sect. It was difficult to stand because his shin was broken, but since Baekji was guarding next to him, he endured the pain.

Yang Soryeong did not want to be the sect master, but she had no choice. If she did not sit on the sect master's seat, it seed Baekji would kill all the people of the White Mountain Sect.

General Manager Xin's report ended. Baekji, who had been dozing, opened his eyes narrowly and glanced at Mo Dahou.

"Next!"

Mo Dahou limped forward and stood in front of Yang Soryeong.

Baekji closed his eyes again and dozed.

"Since we have struck the Yang rchant Guild, the ixian Fang will attack."

Yang Soryeong's mind snapped to attention. Mae Yeoncheong's mouth was torn, and she was hovering between life and death. Since the White Mountain Sect had killed the Twin Swords of ixian and struck the Yang rchant Guild, the ixian Fang would naturally attack.

"How large will the scale be? When will they attack?"

"It will take ti to gather their allies. They will attack when they have a clear advantage."

"What if we propose a truce?"

"They are not the kind to listen. Since they were aiming for the White Mountain Sect from the beginning, they will try to see it to the end."

General Manager Xin said in a worried tone.

"To wage a war, we need funds, but as I said earlier, we are absolutely lacking."

Baekji opened his eyes narrowly and glared at General Manager Xin.

"Did you cough up what you embezzled?"

"I did not embezzle it. The situation of the sect was chaotic, so I was just temporarily holding it. I have returned it all, but the expenses for the forr Sect Master's and the Young Sect Master's dicine were so large..."

"There is no need to worry."

Hu Yeonjo interjected.

"We have an absolute master, so it will be useless even if the ixian Fang gathers its forces. It will be a one-sided fight, so what need is there for funds?"

"Wait!"

Baekji raised his hand.

"Was there an absolute master in the White Mountain Sect?"

Hu Yeonjo gave a servile smile and bowed his waist.

"Yes! Isn't the Honored One here?"

"Honored One? Who?"

"..."

"Are you perhaps talking about ?"

"..."

As the atmosphere beca strange, Hu Yeonjo closed his mouth. Baekji beckoned with his finger. It ant to co. Hu Yeonjo hurriedly approached.

"You haven't been beaten enough."

Thwack!

Hu Yeonjo, who was hit hard on the cheek, was sent flying backward.

"Keo-heuk!"

Hu Yeonjo, whose mouth was busted, let out a groan, blood pouring out.

Baekji beckoned with his finger again.

Hu Yeonjo crawled to Baekji.

"Do you know why you were hit?"

"...?"

Since he didn't know the reason, he couldn't answer.

"You need to be beaten more severely to co to your senses."

Baekji, as if bouncing from his chair, ca out and stomped on Hu Yeonjo.

"Ugh! Please spare ."

"How dare you drag

into a dogfight? What? Honored One? Who gave you permission to call

Honored One?"

Only then did Hu Yeonjo realize his mistake, but it was already too late. He fainted from the rciless beating.

"Ba, Baekji. Stop, you'll kill him."

When Yang Soryeong was surprised and pulled him away, he finally let go of Hu Yeonjo.

General Manager Xin and Mo Dahou couldn't even open their mouths and just watched as Hu Yeonjo was beaten to a pulp.

When Hu Yeonjo lost consciousness, Baekji sat down again and said, "Don't push your own fights onto others. It becos a habit. Continue."

Mo Dahou continued his report with a trembling voice. Although he had always prided himself on his great courage, Baekji was a different dinsion.

"At present, we are at an absolute disadvantage. We must bring in reinforcents."

"Were there reinforcents?"

"Since True Man Changshan is in our sect, how about requesting diation from Qingcheng?"

"That is also a good thod."

Yang Soryeong, who wanted to avoid a fight at all costs.

"I will go and see True Man Changshan. Let's end today's eting here."

Yang Soryeong hurriedly ended the eting. If it dragged on any longer, who knew who else would faint.

"You go first."

Baekji sent Yang Soryeong first.

"You two, wake that brat up and have him sit here."

General Manager Xin and Mo Dahou woke up the limp Hu Yeonjo and sat him down.

"Do you know who I am?"

At the out-of-place question, General Manager Xin and the others looked at each other.

"You're not answering?"

"You, you are the Sect Master's disciple."

"And."

"..."

Since all three of them didn't know, they couldn't speak.

'It seems these brats don't know . Well, there's no way third-rate mbers of a backwater sect would know a master like .'

The martial force leaders of the White Mountain Sect, the hegemon of Sichuan, Mo Dahou and Hu Yeonjo, had suddenly beco third-rate martial artists.

"Count the masters in the martial world from the top."

"What?"

Pa-pak!

Hu Yeonjo inadvertently asked back and was hit again. It really felt like he would die. Hu Yeonjo wanted to smash his own mouth.

Baekji threatened, "I really hate being asked back. Just answer the question."

Mo Dahou answered, "The top masters in the martial world are the Martial Alliance Leader and the Demonic Cult Leader. No one knows who is stronger between the two."

"How old are those brats?"

"The Martial Alliance Leader is in his seventies, and the Demonic Cult Leader is known to be over a hundred years old."

"A hundred years old? He's lived for a damn long ti."

Baekji muttered and thought.

'Martial Alliance Leader? Demonic Cult Leader? Judging by their age, it's not them.'

"Besides those two, there are the Ten Great Masters. They are all counted as absolute masters, and the Sword King and the Demonic Saber are vying for the top spot... The Young Demonic Cult Leader is also said to have crossed the threshold of an absolute master, and the number one of the dark path, the Black Demonic Ancestor, is also an absolute master."

Mo Dahou listed the Ten Great Masters and other major masters.

"How old are those brats?"

"Most of them are over sixty."

"Are there no young brats? For example, around my age."

"There are none."

Baekji frowned and asked again, "Are there no absolute masters among the young brats?"

"You are right in front of ."

Hu Yeonjo said, as if flattering. Even after being beaten so much, his light mouth moved first again.

Fortunately, he was not hit this ti.

"Besides ."

"There are none."

"What on earth are the young ones doing these days? Are there no brats known to be strong among the young ones?"

"The young masters belong to the Nine Dragons and the Four Phoenixes."

"Nine Dragons? Four Phoenixes? Their level?"

"They are peak masters. So are even said to have entered the True Realm."

"Their age?"

"They are rising stars, so they are around twenty years old."

Listening to the conversation between Baekji and Mo Dahou, General Manager Xin racked his brains. Baekji would not be asking for no reason.

He cautiously asked, "By any chance, are you thinking of going on a martial tour?"

"A martial tour? Why would I do that?"

"I was curious if you were thinking of visiting them, since you were asking about the masters."

"Why should I go and find those brats?"

"If you are a martial artist, to determine superiority..."

"Shut up. What crazy brat would go around looking for a fight?"

Baekji got angry.

"Are there only this many masters in the martial world? Or do you just not know?"

"Of course, I have not ntioned all the masters. There are forr masters who have retired from the martial world, and there are also masters who have never co out into the world from the beginning. The Nine Great Sects and the Five Great Families will also have hidden masters, and if we expand the scope to the top one hundred masters, there will be absolute masters who have hidden their skills among them."

Mo Dahou quickly answered.

"Why are all the masters old n? Why are there no young brats?"

'What am I supposed to do? It's strange to be a master at a young age.'

General Manager Xin and the others, seeing Baekji get angry, beca anxious without knowing the reason.

They just watched Baekji's expression.

Baekji rolled his eyes, thought, and then said. The ones closest in age were the Nine Dragons.

"Those brats called the Nine Dragons, find out where they are and what they are doing now."

* * *

"You've beco the sect master again?"

"Yes. But Baekji is sohow strange."

Yang Soryeong, who had returned to the Songhua Hall, gathered Ajok and the others.

"Right? He's strange, isn't he?"

Ajok, who had been hit on the back of the head and had lost consciousness after talking to Baekji, said in a dissatisfied tone.

Yang Soryeong told them what had happened at the White Hall Great Light.

Everyone's mouths fell open.

After a mont of silence, Senior Oh said, "You said the master has amnesia, right? Has he co to his senses?"

"How can a person change so much? He's almost at the level of a demon lord."

At Ajok's words, Jang Sam interjected.

"Grand Senior Brother, watch your words. To call the master a demon lord. I like the current master. He's manly, isn't he?"

"Still, it's not right to stomp on people like insects. I wish Baekji would go back to how he was."

When Yang Soryeong sighed, Jang Sam said, "You said he's in his right mind now. He's returned to his original self."

Ajok shook his head.

"It might be better for him to have amnesia. If he goes around trying to kill people like that, he'll soon rise to the ranks of a demon lord. Then he'll beco a public enemy of the martial world, and we'll die together as the disciples of a public enemy of the martial world."

Senior Oh chid in.

"Grand Senior Brother's words have a point. I don't want to be the disciple of a demon lord. I will walk the path of a righteous hero. We have to turn the master back to a blank state."

Ajok clapped his hands.

"True Man Changshan is making a dicine to cure the master's amnesia! Let's ask him to change it to a dicine that maintains the amnesiac state instead!"

"Huh?"

"Is that okay?"

"I'm against it. A man must have the dignity to subdue his enemies."

When Jang Sam objected, Senior Oh said, "The amnesiac master was also violent. You were beaten a lot too. Have you already forgotten?"

"That was a loving rod."

"Do you think it will be a loving rod in the future? Brigade Leader Mo's arm was broken, and General Manager Xin's shin was broken. Don't regret it after you get a part of you broken."

"Is, is that so?"

When Jang Sam thought about it, it seed so. Although Ajok and the others had co to a conclusion, Yang Soryeong hesitated.

Although the current Baekji was frightening, it didn't seem right to turn him back to an amnesiac state.

"Grandmaster, you must decide."

As Ajok urged, the door burst open, and Baekji entered.

"Gasp!"

"Master!"

"Baekji!"

As everyone was surprised, Baekji looked them over with suspicious eyes.

"What were you talking about to be so surprised? It's suspicious."

"We were worried because you seed to have changed a little, Master."

Ajok quickly answered.

"What's changed? Don't talk nonsense, and take the money and follow ."

"What?"

Thwack!

When Ajok asked back, Baekji struck Senior Oh's head.

"Keuk! Why did you hit ?"

"Informal speech?"

Pa-pak!

"Can I at least know the reason why you're hitting ?"

"Don't make

say it twice."

"It wasn't . It was Grand Senior Brother. Why are you hitting ?"

Baekji did not answer. He was too lazy to stretch out his hand, so he just hit the nearby Senior Oh.

"I, Master..."

Jang Sam asked in a subtle voice. When the large Jang Sam asked in a soft voice, it gave the onlookers goosebumps.

"What?"

"Why did you hit this senior brother?"

"I hate brats who don't understand what I say and ask back. I was going to kill him, but since he's a disciple, I let him off once."

"Ah, I see."

Jang Sam thought he should never go near Baekji.

Ajok took out the silver and bank notes that Baekji had hidden.

"Follow ."

As Baekji went out, Ajok followed, and Yang Soryeong approached and whispered, "Stop Baekji from harming people."

"How can I do that?"

"I'm saying this as your grandmaster. You must do it. Otherwise, it's deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors."

"Hee-ing."

Yang Soryeong knew that Ajok and the others feared deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors the most.

Ajok, with a mournful face, followed Baekji.
