I have the face of a great demon.

Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu flew away on their swords, escaping from the Zixiao Sect.

However, they were too anxious and hurriedly took to the air on their swords before they had gone too far from the Zixiao Sect. The elders of the Zixiao Sect quickly noticed the abnormality and, after discovering Liu Xingchen and Tiezhu's movements, immediately organized a manpower to pursue them.

These elders were extremely fast and quickly caught up.

"Where do you think you're going, you thief!" The pursuers shouted from behind, their voices filled with anger and urgency.

Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu could clearly hear their shouts, and they couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.

They knew that if they were caught, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Brother Xingchen, hurry up, we can't let them catch up!" Tiezhu shouted loudly.

However, Liu Xingchen's sword speed had reached its limit, while the pursuers were moving even faster, and the distance was gradually closing. They could already see the backs of Liu Xingchen and Tiezhu.

After escaping, Liu Xingchen did not expend his power to transform into Liu Qingfeng's appearance again, but instead reverted to his original appearance.

This caught the attention of the pursuers, who immediately shouted.

"It's Liu Xingchen!"

"Yes, it's definitely him. He's definitely up to something, otherwise why would he run away?"

"He must have killed the sect leader! Catch him quickly!"

Although the elders did not believe that Liu Xingchen had the ability to kill the sect leader, since the sect leader was attacked from behind, they regarded Liu Xingchen as this treacherous and cunning villain and vowed not to give up until he was taken down.

"Damn it, how come these pursuers are so fast!" Liu Xingchen cursed inwardly. If this continued, they would be caught up.

Just then, Liu Xingchen suddenly felt a powerful force surging within his body.

Overjoyed, he immediately shouted, "Scholar, you're awake!"

The voice of the spirit scholar echoed in his mind: "Master, I'm awake! The power of this Soul Pearl is too great; it took me quite a while to absorb it all. I, the scholar, am back!"

Liu Xingchen was overjoyed. He immediately said, "Great! Spirit Ghost, hurry and help! We need to act fast!"

what's the situation?

The scholar was taken aback. He had been asleep for a long time, and as soon as he woke up, his master was on the run again.

He looked back and saw several powerful cultivators chasing after him on their swords.

Although his strength has greatly increased, when facing so many cultivators at the Integration stage, this spirit ghost can only run for his life.

"Damn it, damn it! I thought attracting the Soul Pearl would make me invincible, but I never expected that I would still only be able to run for my life."

Without the slightest hesitation, the spirit immediately poured its powerful spiritual energy into Liu Xingchen's flying sword.

In an instant, the speed of the flying sword suddenly increased, as if a bolt of lightning had ripped through the sky.

Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu only felt a blur before their eyes, and their bodies were instantly propelled by a powerful force, increasing their speed several times over.

"What kind of speed is this!" Tie Zhu exclaimed in surprise, his eyes could barely see the scenery around him.

The shouts of the pursuers gradually faded until they were completely gone. They had been left far behind and were no longer even visible.

Liu Xingchen felt relieved. He looked back and a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Ling Gui, you are truly my savior!"

The spirit's voice carried a hint of smugness: "Master, the power of this Soul Pearl is indeed formidable. I've absorbed quite a bit, and my strength has increased significantly!"

Tie Zhu also breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Liu Xingchen with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Brother Xingchen, thanks to the spirit ghost, otherwise we would have been in danger!"

Liu Xingchen nodded and smiled slightly: "Yes, the scholar has made a great contribution this time."

The pursuers were furious in the distance, watching Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu's figures disappear into the horizon, their hearts filled with resentment.

An elder gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, they got away!"

Another elder was furious: "Chase them! We must bring them back!"

However, they could no longer increase their speed and could only watch helplessly as Liu Xingchen and Tiezhu disappeared into the distance.

The news that the Zixiao Sect had been attacked, its leader, Master Yu Chen, had been ambushed and killed by a great demon, and that countless disciples had died or been injured, spread like a bombshell throughout the entire cultivation world.

Immediately, cultivators across the land were abuzz with discussion, shocked but also filled with fear and unease about the future.

As the mainstay of the cultivation world, the ten major immortal sects reacted immediately.

They united and vowed to avenge Master Yu Chen and maintain peace in the cultivation world.

The elders of the Zixiao Sect were furious and declared that they would spare no effort to tear the great demon to pieces.

Many small and medium-sized sects were terrified.

"How could Master Yu Chen be dead? He was the sect leader of the number one immortal sect in the world! This great demon is too powerful!"

"Yes, even the Zixiao Sect suffered such a huge loss, what are we small sects supposed to do?"

"Let's save our own lives first. This big devil is not someone we can afford to mess with."

"But didn't the Ten Great Immortal Sects ask us to help hunt down the Great Demon?"

"You think you can just go after them just because I tell you to? It's best if we don't get involved in the affairs of the Ten Great Immortal Sects. Otherwise, our sect might get dragged into it too."

"That's right. The great demon is so powerful that even the ten great immortal sects would suffer countless casualties if they offended him. If we offend this demon, our entire sect will be wiped out."

"What if we actually catch up with the great demon?"

"What to do? Run, of course!"

These news spread to every corner of the cultivation world, and cultivators were discussing the matter.

They were shocked by the death of Master Yu Chen, and also terrified by the power of the Great Demon.

One by one, the sects closed their doors and refused to come out. They outwardly complied with the request from the ten immortal sects to jointly hunt down the great demon, but inwardly resisted, going through the motions and avoiding the task whenever possible.

……

Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu flew on their swords, aimlessly running around, only hoping to shake off their pursuers.

On this day, we arrived at a small town.

The town was small, but bustling with activity, its streets teeming with people and filled with the lively atmosphere of everyday life. The two breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to temporarily escape the threat of their pursuers.

"It should be safe here now. Let's find a place to stay first," Liu Xingchen said in a low voice, a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

Tie Zhu nodded and said, "Okay, I'm starving. Let's find a place to eat something first."

Liu Xingchen used the black robe's power to alter the appearance and aura of both of them.

He transformed himself into an ordinary cultivator, while Tie Zhu, though exceptionally tall and stronger than an average person, was not particularly noticeable.

The two changed into ordinary monk robes, looking like ordinary passersby.

"No one should be able to recognize us now," Liu Xingchen said in a low voice, a hint of confidence in his eyes.

Tie Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, as long as we are careful, we should be fine."

The two entered the town and soon discovered that things were not as simple as they had imagined.

At the entrance to the town, several monks stood guard, stopping every passing monk and questioning them carefully.

"Stop! State your name and sect!" A cultivator stopped Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu.

Liu Xingchen felt a pang of anxiety, but quickly regained his composure.

He smiled slightly and said, "My name is Liu Xing, and this is my junior brother, Zhao Tie. We come from the Azure Dragon Sect."

The cultivator nodded, took out a jade slip from his robes, and began searching. Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu watched him nervously, silently praying, "Hopefully he won't find anything."

The cultivator searched for a while, then nodded without saying anything, allowing them to enter.

Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked into the town, finding a tavern to sit down.

"That really scared me to death. I never expected there would be people here checking past cultivators," Tie Zhu said in a low voice, his voice tinged with lingering fear.

Liu Xingchen nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that the pursuit by the Ten Great Immortal Sects has expanded to these small towns. We need to be even more careful."

The two ordered food and were about to enjoy a meal when suddenly, the tavern door was pushed open, and a group of cultivators rushed in.

The leading cultivator shouted, "The identities of those two don't match! The Azure Dragon Sect doesn't have any records of these two people in the jade slip!"
