The Return of the Crazy Demon

Chapter 205: Well, There Are A Lot Of Crazy People In This World.



Never in my life have I done cultivation with such peaceful mind like now. However, the third day, my internal qi wasn’t the same. Sometimes it felt cold, and at times I shivered and there were times when I thought I would freeze to death.

Concentrating the mind sometimes resembles dreaming and sometimes presents me with hallucinations which are more vivid than the dreams.

Like now.

To say that hallucinations were felt vivid made no sense, when one learns martial arts there are times when we enter into another realm which Is difficult to explain in words. I wish this was just a feeling of mind but, I was actually feeling cold.

It was as if I was being pushed into hell of ice before being harassed further.

In my hallucinations, my feet froze first. Then pushing back the snow which was till my waist, I headed for the top of the snowy mountain.

How long was it?

I don’t know.

I wasn’t sure iin such situations. I got caught in the blizzard, and walked with my eyes, nose and mouth all stiff.

In such cases, there is a chance that if I rushed with the help of martial arts, I can find an easy way to climb, or could fall off the cliff or freeze and not wake up from the dream.

So I choose to take the hard way.

The cold, lonely and sorrowful ways, but sometimes I climbed with smiles.

I climbed up a snow mountain with nothing but a snowstorm for half day or more and arrived at a snowy plateau. The air felt thin and difficult to breath, and the win was dying down.

I sighed out as I expected that the level of ice qi has risen with each step.

I thought I had arrived at the end of the realm of the ice.

‘That is enough for today.’

I never dreamed of a full moon. Although the realm wasn’t divided in detail. It was clear to me that it would be as vast as the combination many stages of land.

After lying on my back on the snowy land, I closed my eyes with a sense of comfort and at the same time, after opening my eyes to reality, I let out a long exhale.

“Phew….”

Cold breath flowed along my exhale and I tried to open my eyes and felt the tearing sensation of eyes. Actually, I felt the body was entirely damp, as if the aftermath of ice qi had spread all over the body. When I finally opened my eyes, the Four Great Evils were looking me.

“Ahhh, fuck. You shocked me.”

“…”

I was upset.

It was because I had been surrounded by Pervert Demon, Ghost Demon and Sword Demon and my sense of reality I was hoping for, hadn’t even returned fully yet. While I barely came to senses, Ghost Demon sighed and said,

“Sect leader, are you alright? I thought you fell into a state of sleep.”

“No. I am fine.”

I experienced enough of it in my past life as a crazy man. It was an experience I never thought I would head into again. And Pervert Demon glared at me for a moment and then turned around without saying anything. After Sword Demon nodded, he said.

“You worked so hard.”

I checked the expressions of three people. It seemed like they were watching to see what happened.

It was evident that the cultivation was begun when it got dark but now the sun was in the middle of the sky and it was clear around.

“How long did the cultivation last?”

Ghost demon answered.

“You took about a day and a half. Time continued to increase.”

I nodded.

“Nice. I was about to freeze. The cultivation should also be done in a limit. One cannot be as ignorant as me.”

The Ghost Demon smiled.

“Now head up and wash yourself. The cultivation is done for the time being then?”

“Recover. Wash up and come.”

I couldn’t stand it because there was this wet feeling around the body. I was going to wash up behind the guesthouse but I heard a clatter from the kitchen and checked in. while Sam Bok was cooking, he looked shocked

“Sect leader, you are awake? Ah, you weren’t sleeping right. lunch is being pepared.”

“I confirm.”

I went out the back door and took my clothes off as I headed for the well. When I touched the water, it wasn’t that warm.

After connecting the two tables, Pervert Demon, Ghost Demon, Sword Demon, the third young lord sat around and looked at te chopsticks. Looking at the table prepared by Sam Bok, I thought.

“If it wasn’t for Sam Bok, we would have all starved to death.”

Pervert Demon responded.

“You are going till death?”

I said in a confident manner.

“Die of hunger. Everyone must have been holding on here because it is annoying to go buy food outside. Or while eating the food I made, it felt bad.”

Ghost Demon laughed.

“Is your cooking skills that bad?”

I answered while holding the chopsticks.

“I once made noodles for a customer, and after eating one pair of chopsticks, he threw the bowl at me.”

Ghost Demon asked with an absurd expression.

“So what about it?”

“What do you mean, what? After kicking off, I grabbed him by the hair and fought.”

“Hahahaha….”

When Sam Bok burst into laughter alone, everyone looked at Sam Bok blankly and spoke with a puzzled expression.

“Why am I the only one laughing?”

“…”

“Sorry.”

Actually, I was holding back my laughter, but I held it back.

“Let’s eat.”

“yes.”

Sword Demon whow as eating with a dull expression asked if he was curious.

“Who won?”

“There is a saying in our neighbourhood that we scared each other off. If you hit together, the fight will stop right there. We fought over a bowl of noodles but it was his fault for throwing the bowl and it was my fault for making it tasteless. Noodles cannot be the reason to murder even if one was enraged. Not far there. So, should it be a draw? That is how it ended.”

Sword Demon nodded.

“There are fights which ended with draw.”

While eating, I asked Sword Demon.

“What about you? the time has come for the sword to be taken away.”

Sword Demon said,

“Retrieving the sword. This is probably an order with no idea. The meaning must be to kill the former left guardian.”

Pervert Demon frowned,

“Is that so?”

Sword Demon nodded.

“There must be those who know that it is a trap by cult leader. There will be those who come knowing that. in the end, because they are hunans they want to look good. Some will want head on fight and the other with come in groups. There wll be those who come late too steal the sword. There will be those who came from the allied families of the cult and want to take this chance for their family to be known in the cult. So, this is no different from cleaning all of that, and the cult leader entrusted that to me.”

Ghost Demon asked looking curious.

“Why clean up?”

To which Sword Demon answered.

“The left guardian needs to be appointed by the cult leader.”

The third young lord who was listening to the story nodded.

“Right. well, everything that happens iin the cult is upto the hands of the cult leader. One day, if we bring a man unseen before and introduces them as the left guardian from then, who will even go against his decision?”

After hearing this far, I asked Sword Demon.

“if the cult leader so bored?”

Sword Demon looked at me like I asked a strange question.

“What do you mean?”

“I am asking about there being any possibility that the cult leader will come watch a fight like this. Will third young lord know it better?”

Third young lord explained the character of his father.

“He will not come if there are many people. Don’t expect many people to come and he will be here. It is something I don’t know or can predict.”

I looked at Sword Demon.

“What does Senior think?”

Sword Demon answered.

“I don’t think he will come.”

“Why.”

Sword Demon looked around and said,

“he doesn’t have the heart to kill us all yet. These results are just curious. What is clear is that when sect leader comes here, it is better for everyone not to act out and just scatter in all directions. He probably wont come, but make sure to listen to my words.”

If Sword Demon recommended running away, it would be right to run.

I answered simply.

“I get it.”

As I was about to finish my eating, Sword Demon put his chopsticks down and said,

“We have guests.”

“Already?”

Like people who hate washing dishes would speak, we got up and left leaving Sam Bok behind.

Three carriages arrived at the empty lot on the left side, a little far from the guesthouse, and people got off and bowed their heads toward us. A man in the group looked at me and said,

“Low Down Sect leader, we aren’t here to fight. We will just set up tempoerary barracks for a while.”

From the carriage in the back, the tools needed to build the barracks and wooden frames were taken out, people clung to them and began too build the barracks.

Some of them set up pillars ahead and installed sun shades, there were tables and chairs placed under, and even put four staff to work.

I asked Sword Demon.

“A referee-like person from Demonic Cult?”

“None.”

“Then do they want to record or observe it?”

“As far as I know, none.”

“Looks like an ally.”

I looked at the Four Evils at the entrance of the guest house and then walked alone with hands behind the back to the men at barracks.

“… you all are working hard.”

Those who were setting the barracks up, stopped moving at the same time.

“Low Down Sect leader.”

I shook my hand in limit and rejected their bows.

“I see.”

Looking at the faces and color of he skin, they were dark which meant they were farmers or workers. What is more is that all of them seemed pretty skilled that they were setting up the barracks at a high pace.

I said to the man in the 30s.

“Where did you hear the news about the fight and come about like ghosts?”

The man answered.

“We only took the orders. We didn’t expect to arrive here first. Sect leader.”

“Which sect?”

The man answered lowering the head.

“Forgive us for not being able to answer that.”

“I see, you did a good job.”

“Yes.”

“Can I look inside the barracks?”

The guy said pointing to the barracks being put.

“Ah, you can look at them whenever you want to.”

I went around the barracks and checked to see if there were any flags or symbols of sect around. However, the shape of the carriage and the sword on the waist of the workers were closely examined but nothing was sure. So, there was no evidence to guess.

But it is fine.

Like a young man from a remote village, I looked around at the movements and expressions of the workers. I held my breath to listen to their breathing, and told the guy in charge.

“… didn’t master Baek Wi come to watch?”

I saw the guy in the back, who was working, go a little shocked. I confirmed the other guy who looked at me but avoided my gaze. No one answered my question.

Such a question…

If no one responded in an instant, the silence answered.

And I asked the head.

“He wants to come and see? Or fight? I want to confirm one thing, I cannot kill all of you without a reason.”

Only then did the man stand up.

“Sect leader, of course, we aren’t here to fight. We received a call from the cult and when we found out the situations, and the party of the left guardian…”

One of the workers interrupted in low tone.

“So noisy.”

“Yes.”

The man who had his back turned and tied the rope connecting barracks to something like a stake, answered.

“Since we are here to watch, there is no need to kill us. Sect leader. If we talk too much, our tongues will be cut, so be kind to us.”

I nodded.

“I understand. Your tongues are precious. There is fun in living with a tongue. Taste and talk. If the tongues are pulled… ugh, that is terrible.”

I giggled and laughed alone in the gap between the workers and kept snooping around on purpose. Everyime I went closer, they were sweat out, probably because of the heat or nervousness.

In the first place, they knew that I am one who sided with evil once. Of course, I had no idea that they were allies of Demonic Sect. if I think about it, it shouldn’t be strange.

Anyway, after looking around for a while, I went back to the guest house and told them.

“Senior, it seems like they are onlookers who claim to hold a neutral ground.”

Sword Demon nodded.

“Who is that?”

“It has to be the teacher Baek Wei we talked about. So creepy.”

I rubbed my forearms in an instant, while they looked at me, I said.

“Come to think of it, even master Baek Wei has some share in our guest house. Well, the last owner Butcher, I took it from him. He cannot think I stole the guesthouse, right?”

Even after saying that, I felt that my ideas were a little off.

Seeing the people setting up the barracks, pervert Demon asked.

“Master, wouldn’t it be better to just kill them all?”

Sword Demon shook his head.

“Leave it alone. If we had masters like that as workers, it would be correct to say that they just came to watch. There is no need to make enemies in here.”

“Yes.”

We each digested the meal we had just then and workers continued to set the place feeling confused.

I brushed my teeth and said,

“Anyway, there are a lot of crazy bastards in the world. Ugh, crazy bastards. Tsk tsk.”
