I have the face of a great demon.

Liu Xingchen stood still, a cold wind howling past, whipping his black robes and making them flutter.

The calm yet profound words of Master Zhizhang still echoed in his ears: "You are not the real great demon."

Liu Xingchen's feelings were extremely complicated, like a tangled mess that he couldn't untangle or cut.

There was a time when he desperately wished someone could see through his disguise and know that he wasn't the fearsome villain he was known for.

He was tired of being feared, tired of those eyes filled with fear and hatred.

He longed for someone to see at a glance that he wasn't the Great Demon King, but just someone who looked like him.

Only in this way can he live a stable life.

However, one day, without him needing to explain, someone realized that he was not the great demon, but he did not want to be exposed.

"I'm not a great demon..." he murmured softly, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

These words should have brought him relief, but now they feel like a heavy stone weighing on his heart.

He knew perfectly well that his identity as the Great Demon King had long since become his shield.

"How ironic..." He chuckled self-deprecatingly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He once thought he could get rid of this identity, but now he finds that he can no longer live without it.

Without this talisman, he would be unable to move an inch in the territory of the demonic path.

Even if he returns to the righteous path, his situation won't be much better.

Those who mistook him for a great demon and got involved in a series of events, such as the people from the Shuangji Sect and the Tianhe Sect, will probably not let him go.

Fortunately, the person who recognized his identity was only Master Zhizhang, not someone from the demonic path, otherwise he would have been in trouble.

Liu Xingchen stood before Master Zhizhang, sighed softly, and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"Master, my name is Liu Xingchen. Actually, I am not a great demon, I just look like one. Many people mistake me for someone else, and I am quite helpless about it."

Master Zhizhang smiled slightly: "The world is full of wonders. Who would have thought that someone would look so much like the great demon?"

Liu Xingchen nodded and said with a wry smile, "Yes, I didn't expect that everyone would mistake me for a great demon, which has brought me a lot of trouble."

"However, I cannot reveal my identity yet, so please keep this a secret for me, Master. Without the identity of the Great Demon Lord, I won't be able to control those demonic cultivators, and then we will be in danger."

The senior monk nodded and said, "I understand. You are being hunted by the demonic cultivators. If you can't control these demonic cultivators, you will indeed be in great danger."

Then he slapped his forehead: "So that's why they all said the three of you were the big devil's accomplices. It turns out you weren't the big devil's accomplices at all. They just mistook you for the big devil, which caused the misunderstanding."

The three nodded in agreement: "The master is right, that's exactly it."

Monk Zhizhang suddenly thought of something and said with a bitter face, "I thought I could convert the great demon, but it turns out it was a lie. Could it be that the great demon didn't try to kill me?"

"I used to think that even the greatest demons could be converted, and I was full of confidence that converting all the demonic cultivators in the world would be no problem. But now, I have no confidence at all."

Liu Xingchen comforted him, "Master, don't be discouraged. Didn't you convert a demonic cultivator last time?"

"Indeed, I have converted several demonic cultivators, but it was quite troublesome. Those demonic cultivators were too stubborn, and it took me a lot of effort."

Tie Zhu laughed when he heard this: "Great monk, you're trying to convert me? I thought you were going to persuade me with your fists."

The monk, however, didn't take it to heart: "First use your fists, then your words. As long as you can convert them, that's fine. I'm not that particular."

These words made all three of them burst out laughing.

"Oh, right," Monk Zhizhang had another idea, "I'll follow you from now on."

"What are you doing following us? Do you also want to become an accomplice of the great demon?"

"I followed you to convert the demonic cultivators."

Liu Xingchen and the other two: "???"

Seeing the three men's puzzled expressions, the head monk explained, "I saw those demonic cultivators trembling and panicking when facing the Great Demon Lord, which made it convenient for me to convert them. So, next time we capture a demonic cultivator, Brother Xingchen, you can use your identity as the Great Demon Lord to subdue him, and I can take the opportunity to convert him. This will definitely be twice as effective."

Liu Xingchen and his companions were quite interested in Monk Zhizhang's wildly imaginative idea.

Since they also had the idea of ​​eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path, they decided to cooperate with the senior monk to deal with these demonic cultivators.

So the four of them set off together and quickly left the area.

Master Yu Chen sat cross-legged in the quiet room, holding a communication jade talisman that shimmered with a faint light in his hand.

Liu Qingfeng's voice came from the jade talisman, his tone tinged with solemnity: "Master, the great demon has reappeared, and the demon cultivators have suffered heavy casualties and are now in complete disarray."

After hearing the message, Master Yu Chen slowly opened his eyes, a complex expression flashing in them.

He gently put down the jade talisman, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"The great demon... has indeed made his move." He muttered to himself, his voice carrying a hint of emotion and a hidden sense of satisfaction.

He stood up, walked to the window, pushed open the window frame, and looked at the distant, rolling mountains.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled across the mountains, dyeing half the sky red, like a blood-red curtain.

Master Yu Chen's gaze was deep and far-reaching, as if he could see through time and space and witness the chaotic scene on the demonic territory.

"Demon Lord of the Underworld, Demon Lord of the Underworld, you refused our righteous cultivators' intervention, do you regret it now?"

He spoke softly, his tone tinged with sarcasm.

"You think you can defeat the great demon with your demonic power? How laughable."

Recalling the negotiations with the Ghost Nether Demon Lord, he had proposed organizing righteous cultivators to enter the demonic territory to deal with the great demon, but the Ghost Nether Demon Lord flatly refused.

Master Yu Chen didn't say much at the time, but just smiled faintly, having already anticipated this situation.

Now, the great demon is causing havoc in the demonic territory, slaughtering the demonic cultivators and leaving them in a state of utter defeat. Let the Ghost Nether Demon Lord have his headache.

He turned around, sat back on the futon, and tapped his knees lightly with his fingers, as if he were thinking about something.

After a moment, he spoke again, his voice low and calm.

"The great demon and the demonic cultivators are fighting each other, which is a good thing."

“When the Demon Lord of the Underworld can no longer hold on, he will naturally ask me for help.”

At this point, he suddenly laughed, a laugh tinged with coldness and confidence.

"At that time, I'll see if you can still be as arrogant as you were back then."

Master Yu Chen stood up, waved his hand, and the jade slip in his hand transformed into a stream of light, flying into the distance.

"Qingfeng, continue to monitor the movements of the demonic path. Report back immediately if there are any unusual developments."

He spoke in a low voice, as if giving instructions to his disciples in the distance.

The quiet room returned to silence. Master Yu Chen stood by the window, gazing at the darkening sky, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

The appearance of the great demon in the territory of the demonic path is a great thing for him, as it will completely change the balance between the righteous and the demonic paths.

He must seize this opportunity to gain the greatest benefit for the righteous path.
