My junior sister pretends to be good and deceives people every day

There was a knock on the door, but no one responded. Jiang Ciyuan thought that Yan Zhiqiao had entered a state of meditation and could not hear the sound outside.

Helplessly, he could only lower his arms.

Even though he had many emotions in his heart, he did not want to disturb Yan Zhiqiao's practice.

Jiang Ciyuan caught a glimpse of the four demon guards still following him, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

After a moment's thought, he turned to face them.

"I want to see the Demon Lord."

Since he couldn't meet Yan Zhiqiao, he would go to the Demon Lord to find out.

Upon hearing this, the four of them immediately stood on both sides respectfully to make way for him.

"Mr. Jiang, please."

Jiang Ciyuan was bored these days, so he memorized the layout of the entire Demon Palace.

Now he can find the palace where the Demon Lord is without anyone leading the way.

After stating the purpose of the visit, the demon guard on duty quickly went in to pass on the message.

Coming out again, the demon guard made an inviting gesture.

"Mr. Jiang, please come in."

"Thank you."

The longer Jiang Ciyuan stayed in the Demon Palace, the more he felt that the demons he had encountered, apart from having a completely opposite schedule to humans, their living and daily routines did not seem to be much different from those of ordinary people in the human world.

However, his impression of the demons' bloodthirsty nature did not change easily, and he was also very clear that the reason they were polite to him was all because of Yan Zhiqiao.

Without her protection, any demon guard would have been able to attack him.

Suppressing his thoughts, Jiang Ciyuan entered the hall alone.

Zhan Ying was sitting at the table with a pot of wine in front of him.

Seeing Jiang Ciyuan coming, he casually hooked his finger.

"Come and sit."

Jiang Ciyuan paused slightly, then quickly continued forward and sat down opposite Zhan Ying.

"have a drink?"

Zhan Ying raised his glass to him and asked.

Jiang Ciyuan didn't like drinking, but he felt a little depressed because Yan Zhiqiao didn't want to see him. He also wanted to get more information from Zhan Ying, so he didn't refuse.

"Okay, thank you, Demon Lord."

Seeing that he had no intention of pouring wine, Zhan Ying smiled nonchalantly, casually produced another wine glass, poured some wine into it, and then handed it to him.

Jiang Ciyuan took the wine glass, politely invited Zhan Ying to drink, and then drank the liquor in the glass.

The overly spicy and stimulating taste caught him off guard.

Fortunately, he didn't choke and quickly swallowed the drink with a frown.

The cup quickly emptied, but Zhan Ying did not continue to refill Jiang Ciyuan's glass. He just looked at him with a look of appreciation.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Jiang Ciyuan put down his wine glass and took a deep breath before speaking.

"Qiao Qiao has been in seclusion these days, and I'm really bored, so I came to you to verify some things. I hope I won't disturb your rest."

Zhan Ying found it interesting, so he supported his forehead with one hand and raised his chin slightly towards him.

"You want to verify something? Tell me."

"That great war between the three realms a thousand years ago was instigated by Qiao Qiao?"

Although Yan Zhiqiao said it himself, Jiang Ciyuan still felt shocked and unbelievable every time he thought about it.

After all, in that war, the immortals, the human-demon race, and the demon race all paid a heavy price.

The fact that Jiang Ciyuan asked this question meant that his master had revealed the relevant information to him, so Zhan Ying didn't need to hide it.

"Yes."

He readily admitted it and added leisurely.

"Master has been planning for a hundred years, hoping to use me to destroy everything. Unfortunately, I am not very useful and failed to help her achieve her goal."

Although he said it was useless, his expression did not show any remorse or shame. Instead, there was an ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Ciyuan looked straight at Zhan Ying.

Such a reaction made him inexplicably have a subtle guess in his mind.

"Did you... lose on purpose?"

After these words were spoken, Zhan Ying's expression did not change. He just stared at Jiang Ciyuan for two breaths, then lowered his eyes and picked up his wine glass again.

"Young man, don't talk nonsense. If Master finds out, I will be punished."

The slightly teasing words made Jiang Ciyuan's heart sink.

Although Zhan Ying was denying it, his attitude...

If what he guessed was true, then his strength was so terrifying that it was unimaginable.

Suddenly, Jiang Ciyuan remembered the records of his strength in history books.

——Almost becoming a god.

In the Dharma Ending Age, gods have long become legendary figures, and the closest to the human and demon races are the immortals.

The Immortal Clan is very powerful, and any one of them is enough to crush the top seniors in the world of cultivation.

For example, the leaders of the five major sects.

Although Jiang Ciyuan had not personally witnessed the prosperity of the immortal race a thousand years ago, the records in relevant historical books gave him a certain understanding.

At that time, the immortals were so powerful that the entire demon clan was afraid of them.

And that period was also the time when the demons were most peaceful.

This situation was not broken until the Demon Lord Zhan Ying appeared out of nowhere.

He unified the demon world with his strength and led the demons to fight against the suppression of the immortals.

From the beginning when the strength of both sides was equal, to later when the immortals were almost crushed by the demons, Zhan Ying played an indispensable role in this.

By the time the final battle, a matter of life and death, came, the righteous side had actually prepared themselves for the possibility of no return and possible genocide.

Jiang Ciyuan remembered that when the book mentioned the war, it also recorded that at that time the creatures in the three realms could no longer see any hope of survival and could only live in despair every day with death approaching at any time.

——The demons have become almost everyone’s nightmare.

But what no one expected was that in the middle and late stages of the war, the situation quietly reversed.

On the day of the decisive battle, the Demon Lord Zhan Ying was sealed by everyone's combined efforts. Without its strongest force and backbone, the demon clan quickly fell into decline...

At that time, while celebrating their victory, everyone who survived the disaster felt a sense of disbelief and unreality.

And this feeling lasted for decades.

The more Jiang Ciyuan recalled the contents of the book, the more he felt a chill down his spine.

He used to be very proud, believing that it was the joint efforts and unity of all living beings that successfully sealed the Demon Lord Zhan Ying.

But at this moment, he felt that his cognition was completely overturned.

Yan Zhiqiao was able to destroy the race of gods, so one can imagine how terrifying her strength is.

The Demon Lord was her disciple trained personally, and with her commanding behind the scenes, the outcome of that battle had actually already been determined!

There is only one possibility for it to be reversed.

The Demon Lord Zhan Ying suddenly changed his mind and volunteered to be sealed.

——Judging from the attitude expressed by Yan Zhiqiao, it is impossible that she suddenly became soft-hearted.

But this is also where the contradiction lies. Obviously, no one knows of her existence, and she clearly has the opportunity to destroy all living beings, so why didn't she continue to do it?

Wait, Heaven's Way!

In such a tragic and critical situation, the only way to stop Yan Zhiqiao was probably God.

At this moment, Jiang Ciyuan suddenly had a concrete understanding of what Yan Zhiqiao said, that the way of heaven has actually always been protecting the people.

Without Him, the world would probably be a completely different place.
