I am a living immortal.

"In exchange, I can wait with you until the reinforcements arrive. That's a good deal, isn't it?" The Mirage Dragon smiled and fiddled with the golden light in front of him, not taking it seriously at all.

"Oh, actually, this isn't a deal, it's a threat."

The headmaster had not expected that the demon before him would be so straightforward.

After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke. The person before him was powerful and uncontrollable, so exchanging some information for him wouldn't be a problem.

So he spoke: "The Great Demon is the Great Demon. We call the monsters that crawl out of the abyss a demon, and those that are different from ordinary demons and have strong strength we call the Great Demon."

"Yuan Valley." Shenlong remembered that Su Mu had mentioned this place before.

"Then how do you know I'm a demon? I didn't crawl out of the abyss. Those who crawl out of the abyss are called demons, but I came from heaven, so why don't you call me a god?"

After saying this, Shenlong looked back and saw the other person's grim expression. He added, "Why, is this question so difficult to answer? Or, what is a demon, what is a great demon, are all defined by you yourselves?"

The headmaster sitting in front of the Mirage Dragon broke out in a cold sweat. It wasn't because the Mirage Dragon guessed something, but because of the word the great demon said - God!

Yes, why must the creatures that crawled out of the abyss be demons, and not gods? Then he thought about the beings that had crawled out before. They were intelligent and powerful, and apart from their tyranny, they really looked like gods, gods infected by demons.

No, get rid of that thought in your head. Looking up at the mirage dragon, he was actually quite lost in thought.

But inexplicably, he felt that the person before him was a god. He must be crazy.

“You haven’t answered my question yet.”

"That's not our definition. Regardless of whether or not those who crawl out of the abyss are intelligent, their actions are all extremely brutal. This is the result of thousands of years of blood and flesh. Without any divinity, how can they be gods?"

“I speak from experience.”

Mirage Dragon said calmly, "Perhaps the first one was a tyrannical god, and the rest are your own fault. Is there a possibility that you made them tyrannical? Gods also have dignity. They just came out of the abyss and were attacked fiercely. They can't fight back. Would fighting back be considered tyranny?"

"If you were to fight right away, would you fight back or..."

Faced with the Mirage Dragon's aggressiveness, the Sect Leader didn't want to reason with him. "Perhaps you are right. But those who are not of our race must have different hearts. I think everyone understands this. Right and wrong are not important."

"Hahahaha!" The mirage dragon laughed. It was interesting, really very interesting.

He had originally thought that the creatures captive within the cave world were all little sheep. But now he realized he was wrong. A dragon is a dragon, whether in shallow water or in the vast ocean, its essence remains unchanged. The only thing that may change is its strength.

"That's enough."

This was enough for the test. Mirage Dragon truly didn't care about the title, whether it was a demon or a god. He simply wanted to test the Dao heart of this so-called master. If he could be shaken by a few words, then no matter how powerful he was, he would be nothing more than a larger ant.

On the contrary, the sky is high and the birds can fly freely, and they will become dragons when they encounter wind and clouds.

“Do you want to go out?”

The mirage dragon unleashed a thunderbolt. After several previous shocks, he thought his ability to withstand them had improved. But now, he was truly shocked by what the mirage dragon said and froze in his tracks.

"What are you talking about?" The headmaster tried to confuse him.

However, the Mirage Dragon didn't care about the cave native's deception and continued leisurely, "You keep cultivating demons, isn't it just to let a great demon who can break the shackles of the world be born in the so-called Abyss?"

"Do you want me to make it more obvious?"

"Defining cultivators as demons, forcing them to accept demonic energy and feed back to Yuangu, isn't that what you did?"

The Mirage Dragon looked at the headmaster with a half-smile: "Would you like to make a deal with me, a real deal? If you reach this deal, I will take you away from this world and even allow you the opportunity to wield a knife against your creator..."

His voice wasn't hoarse, nor was it distinctive, but it carried an irresistible allure as it reached his ears. Every word the mirage dragon spoke struck at his heart, making him dizzy and his breathing heavier. Only then did he feel like he was facing a great demon. This bewitching power, striking at the deepest depths of his soul, was truly unbearable.

He didn't know how this great demon knew so much, but at a time like this, he couldn't be deceived.

The best way to avoid the question is to ask it in return. So the headmaster immediately asked, "Why should I trust you? How can you do it? Even if you can do it, what do you want from us?"

"You don't have to believe me, and I can't prove why I can do it. After I beat all of you down, you will naturally believe what I say. As for now, you can't give me what I want. But after you get out, it may not be the same. The wider world will show you a broader path. But the price is yourselves. No matter how much I say now, it will be in vain."

"I'll make a deal with you then. Whether you agree or not is up to you."

“Am I very human, haha.”

Listening to Mirage Dragon's boasting, the headmaster's expression shifted again and again. He didn't know how much truth there was in what he was saying. But if there was a chance to escape, he would do it at all costs.

And now he said to the person in front of him: "Then wait and see."

The dialogue between the two sides came to an end.

For a long time afterwards, things seemed to return to their previous state, with both sides ignoring each other. The headmaster of Shangjing Sect knew what the other party was waiting for.

And he is the same.

The other party's proposal kept coming to his mind. Could he really get out? Was there really a wider world out there? He had no idea.

Although the two sides are currently at peace, both sides clearly understand that this is only temporary. A few words will not lead to compromise or reconciliation. A war is inevitable.

The so-called transaction after that will depend on the outcome of this battle.

A deal is only possible when one side is unequal. Even though he knew this demon was unique and powerful, they, at this level, didn't believe they could lose. A strong heart brought strong self-confidence. Even when faced with this world, they still launched their own counterattack.
