The Return of the Greatest Sect Leader
Chapter 34 ~ Back Visit

Li Yao had already changed his disguise, not as an old geezer he was now disguised as a mysterious 30-year-old swordsman.

His disguise remained impeccable, Li Yao was sure that no one would recognize him. After looking for trouble with the man in white uniform, Li Yao was confident that his disguised old grandfather figure would be set to become a fugitive.

Now was not a good time to look for trouble with the Heavenly Alliance. Li Yao was still very weak, very weak. He needed to train himself more vigorously in order to take revenge on them.

His encounter with the mysterious young man still disturbed Li Yao's mind. Was the young man really able to see his disguise? If it were true, then it would be very annoying.

At this moment Li Yao decided to ignore him. He hoped that the young man would have no relationship with the Heavenly Alliance.

It could be dire if the young man reported Li Yao's appearance.

On the outskirts of Blue Cloud City, Li Yao looked at the small tavern and entered it. It was the tavern that Li Yao had visited when he first arrived in the Blue Cloud City.

The burly and large man with a bushy mustache, that was the owner of the small shop on the edge of town that Li Yao was visiting. Deng Xue did not change, he still looked fierce and intimidating.

His ruthless appearance is not very suitable to serve customers, maybe that's why customers rarely visit his small shop.

Didn't the burly man notice it? Li Yao wondered inwardly. If this situation continued, Deng Xue's small tavern business would definitely go bankrupt. Li Yao sighed, aware that it was none of his business.

"Do you want to go out of town now?" Deng Xue started a conversation with Li Yao. The burly man was bored and saturated, especially that time Li Yao was the only customer inside his small tavern.

The food on Li Yao's table was already depleted, now he was enjoying wine without thinking about the age of his body. Li Yao knew drinking wine was not good for a child's body. After today, Li Yao promised not to drink wine until his body entered adulthood.

"How did you know?" Li Yao asked back with a smile, his disguise was as successful as ever. Of course Li Yao really did not want to go out of the city. He went to the edge of town just to stop by this shop.

Li Yao was tired of the food served by his sect.

"I saw you coming out of the city center," Deng Xue replied as he was, Li Yao listened carefully.

"Tonight you better undo your brother's intention to go out of town!" deng Xue continued, his voice sounded serious.

"Why?" li Yao asked curiously.

"Did Little Brother never hear about those rumors?" said Deng Xue slowly.

"What rumors?"

"Surely the sister of a new person in this city." Deng Xue sighed then continued her explanation.

"Last three months, there has been a monster that has attacked and killed people. The monster was very bloodthirsty. After killing people, the monster would instantly eat the person. Little boy, woman, old man, everything he kills indiscriminately."

The rumor surprised Li Yao a little, the reason the forest in the Blue Cloud City area had been cleared of dangerous beasts let alone demons.

"The monster? Is he a very powerful demon?" Li Yao interrogated.

"Maybe." Deng Xue replied.

"The monster had a humanoid figure like a human. So no one knew if the monster was a demon, a beast, or even a human."

"Did the city guards or soldiers not take care of this matter?"

"They have asked for help from the Heavenly Alliance, the Eastern Government, the Thousand Sword Sect, and the White Sea Monastery. A month has passed but no response has been made. After which, the City Manager ignored the matter of this monster. After all, the monster only attacked the outskirts of the southern part of the city."

"Why ask for help far away, isn't anyone closer?" Li Yao smiled faintly.

"You mean brother?" deng Xue asked in confusion.

"Sect the Mountainous Road."

***

The City Administrators and Residents already had no confidence in the Mountain Road Sect. Li Yao was aware of that, which was why they did not have to bother asking the nearby sects for help.

The Mountain Road Sect was extremely weak, even if the sect sent warriors to hunt down the monsters, it was almost certain that the warriors they sent would die in vain.

Li Yao was not at all enraged by the Blue Cloud City's decision. In fact the Mountainous Road Sect was indeed very helpless, there was nothing to expect from such a sect.

The 8-year-old was just upset. Now was a good time to restore the confidence of the townspeople towards the Mountainous Road Sect. That was the reason Li Yao had told Deng Xue to believe in his sect.

As with the promise (threat) uttered by Tao Yuhan to Li Yao, the boy immediately went to visit the back of the sect to meet the girl.

Right after Li Yao climbed the mountain and entered his sect back.

Tao Yuhan was very strange and powerful. Despite fighting him, Li Yao felt that the little girl was still hiding something. Whatever he was hiding, Li Yao's premonition said that it was something bad.

Li Yao finally arrived in front of the small pond, where he had first met Tao Yuhan. Near the pool, stood a simple house that became a residence for the sweet little girl.

The figure of Tao Yuhan was completely invisible up ahead. As Li Yao turned around, he suddenly flinched when he saw Tao Yuhan already standing behind him.

"Are you looking for me?" tao Yuhan asked in a flat voice, as flat as his facial expression as usual.

"I thought you weren't coming, I almost reported you."

"Who are you reporting me to?" challenge Li Yao, somewhat annoyed by the appearance of the girl.

"To my father," answered Tao Yuhan.

"Who's your father?" liang Yao.

"My father is my father."

Li Yao shook his head, giving up interrogating the sweet little girl. There was another reason why Li Yao visited him. Tao Yuhan was a very powerful swordsman, considering his young age.

Tao Yuhan was well suited to accompany Li Yao to practice sparring. To be honest until now Li Yao had not gotten used to fighting using his small body. On this occasion, Li Yao had to practice getting used to it.

"What's your name?" tao Yuhan asked as he mounted his sword horses, ready to attack the person before him.

And Li Yao as well.

"My name is Li Yao!"
