I have the face of a great demon.

Chapter 265 The Phantom's Investigation

In the mountains and forests, mist swirls and trees sway, with the occasional cawing of crows adding to the eerie atmosphere.

The two demons knelt on the ground, trembling all over, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads onto the withered leaves with a soft "drip-drip" sound.

Before them stood a tall figure—the legendary great demon.

The great demon was dressed in a long black robe, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, and he exuded a suffocating aura of power.

His eyes were as cold as knives, as if they could see through everything.

He simply stood there, like an invisible mountain, pressing down on the two demonic cultivators, making it hard for them to breathe.

"Demon...Demon Lord, spare us!" one of the demon cultivators said in a trembling voice, his voice trembling with sobs. "We will never dare to do evil again, please spare us!"

Another demonic cultivator prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "Demon Lord, I am willing to repent and reform, please give me a way out!"

The great demon sneered, his voice low and icy: "Repent and reform? You think you can do it?"

The two demonic cultivators trembled with fear and nearly fainted.

Just then, the monk Zhizhang slowly stepped forward, put his hands together, and smiled compassionately: "Amitabha, since you two are willing to do good, why don't you allow this humble monk to guide you?"

The two demonic cultivators, as if grasping at a straw, nodded hastily: "We're willing! We're willing!"

Monk Zhizhang smiled slightly and began to chant scriptures. His voice was peaceful and solemn, as if it could cleanse people's hearts.

The two demonic cultivators knelt on the ground, their eyes closed, and the fear on their faces gradually gave way to peace.

Liu Qingfeng stood to the side, arms crossed, watching with deep emotion.

He glanced at the great demon and thought to himself, "That kid Liu Xingchen is too good at pretending! If I hadn't known beforehand, I would have believed it too. No wonder these two demonic cultivators were so scared that they were willing to be converted."

He turned to look at Tie Zhu and Ye Sisi, who were standing to the side, watching with great interest.

Tie Zhu muttered under his breath, "Xingchen's appearance is even scarier than a real demon! Look at those two demonic cultivators, they're almost wetting their pants!"

Ye Sisi covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's right, even the Ghost Nether Demon Lord was scared away by him, what are these two little minions?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Indeed, even the Ghost Nether Demon Lord was scared away, so what are these two demonic cultivators? However, Liu Xingchen's acting skills are truly superb! If he ever stopped cultivating immortality and went to a theatrical troupe to play a great demon, he would definitely become famous throughout the world!"

Just as the monk Zhizhang was converting the demonic cultivator, a pair of bright eyes were fixed on them from the depths of the distant mountains. The owner of those eyes was none other than Meiying'er.

Today she changed into a grass-green dress with a few pale yellow flowers embroidered on the hem, which blended perfectly into the mountain forest background.

She carefully lay prone in the grass, holding her breath, not daring to move a single finger, her eyes fixed on the group of people in the distance, her mind churning with shock, almost letting out a scream.

"The great demon... he's actually here!" Mei Ying'er thought in surprise, her eyes wide open.

She followed Liu Xingchen and his group all the way, but unexpectedly, she actually encountered the legendary great demon.

What shocked her even more was that the scene before her completely overturned her understanding.

The great demon stood in the center of the arena, clad in a long black robe, radiating a suffocating aura of power.

The two demonic cultivators knelt before him, trembling as if they would be crushed by his oppressive aura at any moment.

Meanwhile, a senior monk stood to the side, his hands clasped together, chanting incantations, trying to convert the two demonic cultivators.

"What...what exactly is going on?" Mei Ying'er was in a state of confusion. "The great demon is actually helping a monk convert demonic cultivators? Shouldn't he be a ruthless killer who destroys the world? How did he suddenly become a benevolent person who saves all living beings?"

As she was thinking, her gaze shifted and she saw Liu Qingfeng standing to the side.

He crossed his arms, a faint smile on his face, seemingly quite satisfied with the scene before him.

"Liu Qingfeng?!" Mei Ying'er nearly bit her tongue. "What's he doing here? And standing with the Great Demon Lord? Could it be... he's already sided with the Great Demon Lord?"

A surge of anger welled up in Mei Ying'er's heart, and she cursed inwardly, "You, Liu Qingfeng! You always pretend to be a righteous gentleman, but I never expected you to be colluding with the great demon behind his back! You can never judge a book by its cover! I thought you were an upright cultivator, but it turns out you're just a hypocrite!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, wishing she could jump out immediately and expose Liu Qingfeng's true colors.

But reason told her that now was not the time to act impulsively. The great demon was no joke; if she rashly revealed herself, she would probably be reduced to ashes.

Phantom waited patiently, stealing glances as she observed everything.

Under the guidance of the monk Zhizhang, the fear on the faces of the two demonic cultivators gradually disappeared, replaced by a peaceful expression.

They stood up, bowed deeply to the great demon and the monk Zhizhang, and then turned and left.

Meiying'er hid in the bushes, her eyes fixed on the Great Demon and Liu Qingfeng, her thoughts surging like waves.

She watched as the two demonic cultivators gradually calmed down under the Buddhist light of Monk Zhizhang, their eyes regaining clarity, as if they had truly been converted.

But Meiying'er didn't believe in that at all.

"Hmph, conversion? This is clearly the work of a great demon!" Mei Ying'er sneered inwardly, a hint of disdain in her eyes. "So this is how demonic cultivators are 'converted.' On the surface, it looks like they've converted to Buddhism, but who knows what kind of tricks are hidden behind it?"

Her gaze fell on Liu Qingfeng, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: "That's right, Liu Qingfeng! Was he also converted by the same method?"

The more Mei Ying'er thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

She bit her lip, a hint of wariness in her eyes: "Although Liu Qingfeng is not a demonic cultivator, there's definitely something fishy about this great demon's attempt to convert him. What 'wholeheartedly devoted to Buddhism'? That's clearly a lie!"

She began to wildly imagine the scene of Liu Qingfeng being converted: "Perhaps Liu Qingfeng resisted at first, but the great demon's methods were too powerful, and he had no way to resist. In the end, he could only be forced to accept this so-called 'conversion' and become the great demon's accomplice."

The more Mei Ying'er thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and she even felt a little sorry for Liu Qingfeng: "Liu Qingfeng usually seems quite serious, but I never expected that he would be tricked by the great demon. Hmph, he must be unwilling, but he has no way to resist. Maybe he regrets in his heart that he shouldn't have been captured by the great demon in the first place."

"I also need to be careful not to get discovered by the big devil, otherwise I will become his accomplice."
