I have the face of a great demon.

Meiying'er dared not move an inch, for fear of alerting the great demon and bringing harm upon herself.

She only hoped that the great demon would ignore her as an ant and give her a chance to escape.

Then she saw the great demon point at the spirit in his hand and beckon with his finger.

Is this some kind of spirit that I have?

Although spirits are extremely rare, they can help people cultivate, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

This spirit is only at the Golden Core stage, which is very useful to the two of them, but it should be of little use to a great cultivator like the Great Demon.

Why would the great demon want a spirit ghost?

But then again, the great demon acts strangely; he's capable of even stealing candy from mortal children, so it's not surprising that he might steal from a spirit or something.

Meiying looked at the spirit in her hand, feeling a little reluctant.

This was the spirit she had pursued for over half a year and fought tooth and nail with Liu Qingfeng for more than ten days before finally managing to snatch it.

Seeing that she was actually reluctant to part with a spirit at this critical moment of life and death, Liu Qingfeng hurriedly transmitted his voice:

"Phantom, don't be reluctant to part with the spirit ghost you have. The great demon wants the spirit ghost, but he can get it by killing you."

Meiying'er was startled. Yes, she had been bewitched and had actually become attached to material possessions.

Without life, even the finest treasures belong to someone else.

She dared not hesitate any longer, and with a swift movement, the spirit in her hands floated toward the great demon in the stone coffin.

As Liu Xingchen watched the light spots in the green-clad woman's hand fly towards him, he secretly marveled at how well-made the prop was; it could not only emit light but also fly.

Moreover, the flight trajectory was well controlled, and it flew right in front of him, so he could reach out and grab it.

The moment he touched this strange prop, he felt a cool, refreshing sensation that was very comfortable.

I don't know what this prop is made of. It's shaped like a green glowing sphere, and there seems to be a figure moving inside.

It must be some kind of electronic imaging technology; it looks quite sophisticated.

Liu Xingchen was so excited that his hand wobbled, and the ball was about to fall. He quickly reached out his other hand to catch it.

Unexpectedly, when his finger brushed against a sharp point on the edge of the ancient coffin, it left a bloody mark.

Before he could recover from the stinging pain in his fingers, the stone coffin suddenly changed, emitting a bright light.

The light was so intense it almost pierced one's pupils, causing Liu Xingchen to involuntarily close his eyes.

It's now!

When Meiying'er saw the great demon begin casting a spell to make the spirits recognize him as their master, ignoring the two of them, she immediately realized that her opportunity had come.

If you don't run now, when will you run?

She immediately leaped away, turned, and fled through the passageway leading outside.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qingfeng also pushed off with his foot, rushing into the tunnel almost simultaneously with her, and they fled for their lives together.

As they fled, the two did not forget to attack each other.

Flying swords, spells, fists and feet—they use everything, not to harm the enemy, but only to delay them for a moment.

I don't need to run faster than the big devil, I just need to run faster than him.

Meiying'er and Liu Qingfeng, just like when they chased the ghost in, fought and killed their way out.

Finally, as the two figures disappeared into the cave entrance, a deafening roar came from behind them.

The stone coffin exploded with a loud bang, scattering fragments everywhere.

Liu Xingchen and the spirit inside the stone coffin vanished like phantoms, leaving only a pile of dust.

Half a day later, the unassuming little cave was packed with people.

The once quiet little cave was now bustling with activity and filled with the sounds of people.

Experts from the Ten Great Immortal Sects and the Five Great Demonic Sects flocked to the scene. This was because the news of Liu Qingfeng and Meiying'er's urgent message had spread, and they rushed here upon hearing the news.

"Sect Master, the Great Demon is in the cave inside."

Liu Qingfeng bowed deeply to an elderly man with a dignified and otherworldly air.

"Qingfeng, it is truly remarkable that you were able to escape unscathed from such a perilous situation."

"Please wait here for a moment, I will take some men in to investigate."

The old man patted Liu Qingfeng on the shoulder kindly, his words full of care and encouragement.

He then led a group of immortal sect experts onto the dark path leading to the cave.

Master Yu Chen led the experts from various immortal sects toward the cave entrance. A group of people also walked toward them from the opposite side, namely a group of powerful demonic cultivators led by Demon Lord Gui Ming.

The righteous and the demonic paths are irreconcilable, no matter where they are.

But at this moment, they were all surprisingly calm, showing no intention of starting a fight.

Faced with the most terrifying demon in the world, the righteous and the demonic paths actually put aside their grudges and united against the enemy.

Both remained silent and on guard as they entered the cave together.

Soon they arrived at the end of the cave and saw the broken stone coffin.

After investigating, experts from both the righteous and demonic paths confirmed that the great demon was no longer present.

"We arrived too late; that great demon escaped."

Master Yu Chen stared at the broken stone coffin, his brows furrowed, his tone filled with resentment.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord of the Underworld smirked coldly.

"Hehe, Master Yu Chen, you know that great demon's habits. When have you ever seen him obediently stay in one place and wait for someone to come and catch him? Every time he shows up, kills someone, and then immediately flees thousands of miles away?"

"Oh, is it so?"

Upon hearing this, a master from a celestial sect deliberately drew out his words, his eyes full of mockery.

"I do remember one time when the great demon not only didn't run away, but leisurely stayed where he was, and as a result, didn't your demonic sect lose several of its best fighters?"

"You..." The Demon Lord of the Underworld was so angry that his face twisted in anger.

That big devil never does things the way they should. You think he's escaped, but he's left behind to set a trap for you.

That loss is a wound that will never heal in the hearts of the Demonic Sect. The Immortal Sect is now publicly reopening that wound.

"Alright, there's no need for this pointless argument."

Master Yuchen quickly stopped the two from arguing, saying that it was more important to get down to business.

The great demon Liu Zhantian poses an immense threat to the cultivation world.

Upon receiving news of the great demon, they spared no expense, spending a large amount of spirit stones to travel from all over the country using teleportation arrays to investigate the matter, not to argue here.

Judging from the scene, the big villain used the teleportation array to leave, and even destroyed it completely, making it impossible to trace his whereabouts.

This great demon has appeared, and his whereabouts are unpredictable. He is waiting for an opportunity to harm people, so everyone in the cultivation world is in danger.

Master Yu Chen was also in a dilemma, but due to the circumstances, he had no choice but to temporarily set aside his pride and extend an olive branch to the Demonic Sect.

After all, with a formidable enemy at hand, uniting against them is the only viable strategy.

Before they could even come up with a plan for their alliance, the Ghostly Demon Lord added:

"However, it is still unknown whether the person just now was the great demon Liu Zhantian. Who knows if the two juniors mistook him for someone else?"

"After all, it's quite a rare sight to see a great demon appear without harming anyone!"

The room fell silent for a few seconds after those words were spoken.

Everyone was having second thoughts. Both the righteous and the demonic factions were making a big show of things, sending out all their experts. If it turned out that he wasn't the real demon, it would be a huge joke.

Logically speaking, it's unlikely that two elite disciples at the Golden Core stage would mistake one another for the other.

The problem is that the great demon Liu Zhantou may have already died in the joint attack by the righteous and the demonic forces a thousand years ago.

A thousand years ago, when the great demon was undergoing his tribulation, he was discovered. The righteous and demonic factions quickly organized experts to intercept and kill him while he was weakened after the tribulation.

After that great battle, the great demon never appeared again.

Both experts involved in the ambush believed the Great Demon was dead, but without his body, they couldn't prove it.

What if the person is only seriously injured but not dead?

There had been no news of the Great Demon for a thousand years, and everyone assumed that the Great Demon must be dead.

Unexpectedly, today we heard the news that the great demon has reappeared in the world. Neither the ten immortal sects nor the five demonic sects could remain calm.

Whether the great demon is dead or not must be found out.

"Bring Liu Qingfeng and Meiying in. I need to get to the bottom of this."
