Little Demon Reversion to Youth

Chapter 180

As Baekji got down, the man tried to get on Oh-ryong's back.

Hee-hee-hing!

It was Oh-ryong, who would not let anyone else ride unless it was Baekji's order. It raised its front legs high and pushed the man away so that he could not get on.

The man soared up and tried to squeeze Oh-ryong's back by injecting internal energy into both his legs.

Ttakkeum.

It felt as if his waist had been pricked by a needle, and the strength in his legs, 'jjuk', drained.

"Eoi-ku."

The man rolled off Oh-ryong's back.

"Hahaha."

The gathered people laughed.

"See. You can't even get on a horse..."

As Baekji sneered, the man's face contorted. His hand went to the saber tied to his waist.

"This brat! Don't you know who I am?"

"Who are you?"

"I am the 'Eight Wind Mad Saber' of the 'Heavenly Demon Squad'!"

"Alright. 'Eight Wind Mad Saber'. You should practice riding a horse too. Don't just use a sword."

Baekji answered indifferently and then tied the fainted hawk to the horse railing where Oh-ryong was tied.

"This brat!"

Although the 'Eight Wind Mad Saber' just shouted, he could not draw his sword.

The area where the main headquarters was located was a forbidden area of the Demonic Cult. If one fought or caused a disturbance here, one would be dragged to the 'Law Enforcement Hall' and would have their neck cut.

Even a serious criminal, if they entered the main headquarters area, would be caught by requesting the 'Law Enforcement Hall', and their crime would be judged through a trial.

That was why the village outside the fortress was so peaceful.

Baekji untied the bundle of luggage from Oh-ryong's back, put it on his shoulder, and then hit its neck.

"You shouldn't follow just anyone."

Hee-hee-hing!

Oh-ryong snorted as if to answer.

Anyone could see that he was the owner of the horse. The man ground his teeth.

"Just you wait. Just go outside the gate. Then you're a dead man."

Then he pushed through the crowd and disappeared.

The waiter whispered, "That person is nothing... but the people of the 'Heavenly Demon Squad' are known to be rough, so you should be careful."

"Alright. I understand."

"But where are you from?"

The waiter, who had recognized that Baekji was an outsider, asked.

"Yes. I came to offer incense at the Young Lord's memorial tablet."

"Ah. I see. You're a little late."

"I came from far away. Give me something to eat. The most delicious food in this house and good tea!"

Baekji ordered food and sat at a good seat by the window. It was a seat where he could see Oh-ryong and the hawk.

In the meantime, the hawk came to its senses and tried to fly up.

Pa-da-dak! Pa-da-dak!

As the hawk caused a disturbance, people gathered again.

"Who tied up the hawk?"

"It's an untrained hawk. It's quite big."

At that moment, a little girl approached the hawk and tried to cut the string with a knife.

The hawk, when the child approached, flapped its wings fiercely and tried to peck, so she could not approach easily.

"No!"

Baekji ran over, jumping over the window.

"This is my hawk. You can't let it go."

The little girl looked back and forth between Baekji and the hawk and then said, "What are you going to do, holding on to a hawk? If you're not going to tame it, let it go."

"I'll let it go later."

"Let it go now. It's trying so hard to fly away."

Baekji hit the back of the hawk's head. The hawk collapsed.

"There."

"Did you kill it?"

The little girl's eyes widened, and soon, tears welled up.

Baekji was flustered.

"It's not dead. It's fainted."

But the little girl finally, 'wa-ang', burst into tears.

"Sister. A bad brat killed the hawk!"

At that, a sharp voice was heard from the direction of the cloth shop.

"Who is bothering Ye-a?"

A woman of about twenty, wearing green clothes, came out and ran straight. Her slender face was of a rare beauty, but her eyes looked a bit fierce.

The gathered people recognized her and hastily turned their bodies and went on their way.

The waiter, who was looking out the door, also went in.

The woman instantly stood in front of Baekji and the girl called Ye-a.

"Sister..."

Ye-a leaned against the woman's bosom as if she were collapsing and sobbed. If someone had seen it, it would have looked as if her parents had died.

"Brat, your acting skills are also excellent..."

As he was muttering quietly, Ye-a pointed at Baekji and said, "That bad brat killed the hawk. I was trying to let it go..."

"I told you it's not dead! Look, it's alive."

Although Baekji shook the hawk's head to wake it up, it did not open its eyes.

"Is this thing pretending to be dead?"

Who would know the hawk's mind?

Baekji changed his stance.

"And this is a hawk I caught. Whether I kill it or let it live, it's mine, so it's my business."

"So?"

The woman who had appeared late asked in a cold voice.

"Huh?"

"So are you babbling in front of this 'Xianzi' (immortal lady) that you did well?"

"Babbling...? Huh... the Demonic Cult members live with the word 'babbling' in their mouths."

"Demonic Cult member?"

Acha, Baekji closed his mouth.

Here, he should have said 'New Sect'...

The gazes of the people who were still left and were glancing also became sharp.

"This brat is suspicious."

"Is that hawk by any chance a messenger hawk? Isn't that brat a spy?"

Baekji waved his hand.

"No. It's not. I am the grandson of the Young Lord! I came to offer incense at my grandfather's memorial tablet!"

Then he took out the monkey divine object and showed it.

"This is the divine object of my grandfather, the Young Lord! The character 'hou' is engraved here. 'Hou'! Do you see?"

There was no way the gathered people would recognize the Young Lord's divine object. In fact, most of them did not even know that the Young Lord's name was So Ya-hu.

As Baekji insisted, they, 'umjjil', flinched, wondering if it was really true.

The woman called 'Xianzi' snorted.

"The 'hou' in the Young Lord's name is not the 'hou' for monkey. This brat is clearly lying. Let's take him."

Those who thought they had been deceived by the 'Xianzi's' words burst into anger.

"How dare this brat impersonate the Young Lord's grandson!"

"Cut off his limbs!"

"Gouge out his eyeballs first!"

They cursed and pointed at Baekji. As befitting Demonic Cult members, their curses were also brutal.

They even threw stones.

At that moment...

"Get out of the way!"

With a cold voice, a group of martial artists appeared.

"It's the 'Heavenly Demon Squad'!"

A brutal, sharp energy flowed from the martial artists who were dressed in black martial arts uniforms.

The one standing at the front was the 'Eight Wind Mad Saber' who had disappeared earlier.

"What? You brought your gang?"

Baekji clicked his tongue at the 'Eight Wind Mad Saber's' childish behavior. The 'Eight Wind Mad Saber' pointed at Baekji and said, "It's that brat. He's a suspicious brat, I don't know where he's from... but he's a master."

.

.

.

The 'Eight Wind Mad Saber', after trying to get on Oh-ryong's back and being hit on a blood point on his waist and rolling off, had noticed that Baekji was a master.

To hit a blood point by throwing a finger wind, one had to be at least a master of the 'true realm'.

Since he lacked strength, he had retreated and had returned to the 'Heavenly Demon Squad', and had been caught by the deputy leader.

"Mad Saber! What happened to the matter you went on? Why is there no report yet?"

The 'Heavenly Demon Squad's' deputy leader, Chi Gang, had heard the intelligence that the twelve guardian families were moving secretly and had dispatched the members of the 'Heavenly Demon Squad', including the 'Eight Wind Mad Saber', to the entrance of the Heavenly Mountains.

The 'Eight Wind Mad Saber' had fled when Lei Mo and the 'Soul Demon' had appeared and a chaotic battle had suddenly broken out.

In the meantime, he had been separated from the other members of the 'Heavenly Demon Squad', and he had chased after Oh-ryong, who was running towards the village outside the fortress.

"Why didn't the other brats come?"

The 'Eight Wind Mad Saber', as his nickname suggested... lived with a slightly loose screw.

When he met the deputy leader, he remembered the order he had received. Since there was no way he would know that the other members were watching the fight between Lei Mo and the 'Soul Demon', he gave a strange report.

"There was a suspicious brat, and I was chasing him, and I got separated from the members of my group."

"A suspicious brat?"

"He's a young brat, but he's a master of the 'true realm'. I confirmed that he had infiltrated the village outside the fortress and ran to report."

Chi Gang, who had heard the 'Eight Wind Mad Saber's' report, frowned when he heard the story about the hawk.

"He's carrying a hawk? By any chance, wasn't it the 'Red Eagle Young Master'?"

"No. Why wouldn't I know the 'Red Eagle Young Master'? It wasn't a red hawk either."

The 'Red Eagle Young Master' was the great young master of the Weizhi family and was a strong candidate for the Young Lord.

Although the 'Heavenly Demon Squad' was a martial force directly under the Cult Leader's hall and did not take sides with any of the twelve guardian families, since it was a place where people lived, there were likes and dislikes.

The Weizhi family had the strongest family power after the Hyuk-ryeon family, and Weizhi Shouchuan was also excellent in martial arts and had a great personality, so he had many followers.

"It could be a subordinate of the 'Red Eagle Young Master'. By any chance, did you not commit any rudeness?"

"..."

The 'Eight Wind Mad Saber' could not answer right away because he remembered that he had tried to steal the horse.

Chi Gang's complexion contorted.

"Take the lead. I must confirm."

.

.

.

Chi Gang, who saw Baekji and the collapsed hawk, was relieved for now. Seeing his attire, he was not a person of the Weizhi family.

At that, the 'Eight Wind Mad Saber's' words that his behavior was suspicious came to mind.

"Who are you?"

At that, a sharp woman's voice was heard from the side.

"Hmph! Chi Gang. Do I not even come into your eyes?"

Chi Gang was surprised to see the woman.

"I did not know that the 'Seven Phases... Lotus Fairy' was here."

He had almost called her the 'Seven Phases Fairy'.

People called Bi Jun-hua the 'Seven Phases Fairy' because her personality changed frequently, but she herself disliked it very much.

"What is the 'Fairy's' business in the main headquarters?"

Since she was the direct line of the twelve guardian families' Bi family, Bi Jun-hua, he could not treat her carelessly.

"Why should I report to you where I come and go?"

Bi Jun-hua glared as if she were displeased.

Chi Gang's spine turned cold. This crazy woman was an eccentric who could even ignore the fact that the main headquarters was a forbidden area.

"Ahem, ahem. I did not think the 'Fairy' would be in the main street... I was rude. I am sorry."

Then he glared at Baekji.

He intended to quickly take him away before Bi Jun-hua started a fight.

"You... follow me."

"Wait!"

Bi Jun-hua blocked his way.

"This brat is being taken by the Bi family."

"What does that mean?"

Chi Gang frowned. Showing respect to the Bi family and his duty as a martial force guarding the outer fortress of the main headquarters were separate matters.

If there was a justification, he could even draw his saber against Bi Jun-hua.

"This brat was rude to me, so I intend to take him and punish him. What's wrong with that?"

"I have received a report that he is a suspicious person. I must take him to the 'Heavenly Demon Squad' and investigate."

"This person has not even entered the outer fortress yet. I will take him to the Bi family first, investigate, and then send him."

"That is not possible."

Chi Gang cut him off. This was a matter related to his duties.

Even if the head of the Bi family, not Bi Jun-hua, came, he could not back down.

"Not possible? Are you saying 'no' in front of this 'Xianzi'?"

"This is a matter of the 'Heavenly Demon Squad'."

As the two were confronting each other strongly, Baekji looked at the inn and then went in. He had seen the waiter place food at his seat.

"Stop there!"

Although Bi Jun-hua shouted, Baekji glanced and then disappeared inside without even answering.

"Is that brat crazy?"

Bi Jun-hua's anger rose to the top of her head. Baekji, regardless, went to a seat by the window and ate the food that had been served.

Baekji's seat was by the window, so it was clearly visible from the outside.

Chi Gang looked at Baekji with a peculiar gaze. He had said he was a master of the 'true realm'... it seemed he had something to believe in.

Baekji picked up a piece of meat, mumbled, and said, "I'll follow you wherever... but let's eat first. When I went to the So family, they didn't even give me food."

"The So family?"

"Yes. The old family head of the So family said his bloodline had come, and he didn't even look at me."

Baekji said, continuously putting food in his mouth.

"What does that mean?"

Bi Jun-hua asked, curious.

"The son of the deceased head of the So family, So Seong-hwi, has returned. I brought him. But I am the grandson of the Young Lord. In fact, if you think about it, aren't I the legitimate line? If you look at the succession of the first son, it's the Cult Leader, then the Young Lord, and then... my father...? And then me. So they were giving me the cold shoulder because they were afraid the So family would be taken away."

The head of the twelve guardian families, the So family.

The matter that was taking place in the family that had produced the Cult Leader and the Young Lord was a matter of interest to everyone.

Both Bi Jun-hua and Chi Gang's ears perked up.

They had known that the So family, whose line had been cut off after the death of the Young Lord, was moving secretly... but to bring a bloodline from the outside.

Baekji was blabbering in the main street about a top-secret fact that only the top brass of the sect and the twelve guardian families knew.

Besides... surprisingly... to mention the Cult Leader.

Everyone held their breath and waited for Baekji's next words.

"I almost died on the way. Did you say the twelve guardian families? They were rushing at me like a swarm of flies. Besides, a terrifying old man called Lei Mo also appeared. The thunderous 'lightness skill' was really impressive."

"Elder Lei Mo appeared? Is that true?"

Chi Gang's eyes widened.
