I have the face of a great demon.

Qian Duoduo thought he had found a weakness in Tiezhu, so he started questioning Tiezhu by the nose.

"You said you two went up the mountain to take the entrance exam, went around in the great formation, and came back because you didn't pass?"

"correct."

"What about the great demon?"

"I didn't see him. But I heard later that a big demon was causing trouble on the mountain."

"The great demon attacked, and so many people from the Twin Extremes Sect died. How come you two survived and came down the mountain? You must be lying."

Qian Duoduo raised his voice eight octaves, feeling that he had exposed Tiezhu's lie.

“But none of the people on the mountain died.” Tie Zhu’s answer surprised Qian Duo.

"Not dead?" This time, everyone's questioning gaze fell on Qian Duoduo.

"How could he not be dead? Wasn't the Twin Gates reduced to ruins?"

Iron Pillar Road:

"Yes, the Twin Gates were destroyed, but the people on the mountain didn't die."

"After I came down the mountain that day, I waited at the foot of the mountain. Later, the people who came up the mountain with us to participate in the assessment also came down. Everyone was fine. They said they were saved by the immortals who came to rescue them. No one in the sect died, but the sect was destroyed by the great formation."

"There were too many people at that time, and Xingchen and I got separated there. Later, I met my master."

That's what happened.

Only then did everyone realize that the tragedy at Shuangji Sect that day did not result in many deaths as Qian Duoduo had claimed, but the sect was indeed destroyed.

Liu Xingchen remained silent, listening carefully to everyone's words, and finally understood.

The great demon people were referring to was definitely himself. Although he didn't know exactly how he had caused this disaster at the Twin Sects, he felt that he was definitely involved.

He inexplicably became a public enemy, which made him even more cautious. If others mistook him for a great demon, he would have to flee everywhere.

Sigh, those who transmigrate have cheat codes and enjoy endless glory.

He time-traveled himself but had to take the blame for someone else.

This is really frustrating.

After things were clarified, no one believed the "too much money" excuse anymore, and their awe of the big devil diminished considerably.

Although the commotion was quite loud, no one died, so what's there to be afraid of?

Even the two newly recruited disciples of Master Hua returned unharmed; the great demon was nothing more than that.

With this in mind, the conversation became much more relaxed, and people spoke less about the big villain.

He was so angry about having too much money that his fat jiggled, and he shouted:

"If you don't believe me, one day you'll encounter a great demon and die a horrible death."

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Fellow Daoists, Qian Duo is right. Don't underestimate this great demon. Otherwise, you might not even know how you died."

Qian Duo was so happy to see that someone was supporting him that he turned around and exclaimed in surprise.

"Know-it-all! You've come at the right time. Have a good talk with them."

This cultivator named Bai Shitong was known for his excellent information network; people didn't call him by his name, but simply called him "the know-it-all."

As soon as he arrived at the auction, he heard people's disdainful remarks about the Great Demon King. He immediately spoke up to warn them, fearing that their ignorance and recklessness might offend the Great Demon King and bring about their own demise.

"Know-it-all, you're exaggerating. No matter how powerful this great demon is, he's still just one person. How could he possibly be more powerful than the Ten Great Immortal Sects?"

The cultivators unanimously agreed, clearly not believing how powerful the great demon was.

"Alas!" Bai Shitong sighed. "The Great Demon has been gone for too long, and the world has long forgotten his power. When he roamed the world, neither you nor I were born yet, so how could we know how terrifying the Great Demon was?"

Bai Shitong's words aroused everyone's curiosity, so they asked him to sit down and explain in detail.

"That great demon was named Liu Zhantian. His origins are unknown. The earliest legend about him dates back 2500 years."

"At that time, the Ziyang Sect, the top of the ten immortal sects, was recruiting new disciples. Liu Zhantian successfully made it into the sect and became a menial disciple."

"The Great Demon King was exceptionally talented. After joining the sect, he gradually showed his talent, rising from a menial disciple to an inner disciple, becoming a rising star of the Ziyang Sect."

"But his good fortune didn't last long. He had a conflict with the grandson of an elder, which changed his life."

"That great demon was treacherous and cunning. He devised a scheme to kill his opponent and then framed another disciple."

“He did it flawlessly; all the evidence points to this disciple as the murderer, leaving himself completely uninvolved.”

"But what he didn't expect was that the treasure of the Ziyang Sect could actually know everything about the sect."

"Sect Master Ziyang brought out the sect's most treasured artifact, exposed the great demon's conspiracy, and sentenced him to death."

"But that great demon actually managed to escape during the execution, leaping off a cliff while severely wounded and disappearing without a trace. He has been missing ever since."

At this point, someone scoffed.

"What? So he's a disgraced disciple of the Ziyang Sect. How powerful could he be?"

"I reckon that the great demon is not dead. Even if he is, having offended the Ziyang Sect, he can only remain a rogue cultivator."

"Exactly, having severed his path of cultivation at such a young age, what can he possibly achieve?"

Upon hearing these words, Bai Shitong sneered: "If it were really as simple as you say, then he wouldn't be the Great Demon King."

"The great demon is indeed not dead. After recovering from his injuries, he has reappeared in the martial world."

"Without the support of the Ziyang Sect, he can only become a rogue cultivator, like us, searching for those scarce resources."

"But the great demon is treacherous and despicable, so why would he go looking for resources himself? So he set his sights on the rogue cultivators."

"He either plots to frame others or kills them directly, constantly seizing resources from rogue cultivators to fund his own cultivation."

"That was the darkest era for us independent cultivators. Just think about it, the resources you worked so hard to obtain could be plundered at any time, and you might not even be able to save your life."

"At that time, the rogue cultivators were all in danger, and many died, which finally attracted the attention of the ten major immortal sects."

"After an investigation, the ten major immortal sects discovered that it was a traitor from the Ziyang Sect who was causing trouble, and issued a kill order."

"But the great demon not only did not surrender during the pursuit, he also repeatedly led his pursuers into his traps, killing and robbing them."

"During the thousand-year-long pursuit, the great demon displayed his astonishing talent, his cultivation level rising again and again, gradually surpassing the disciples of the sects that were chasing him."

"When the ten great immortal sects realized something was wrong, they were already powerless against him. Even if they sent out elder-level experts, the great demon could still fight him."

"At this time, the most delighted were the Demonic Sect. They took the opportunity to send people to win over the Great Demon, hoping to bring him into the Demonic Sect and fight against the Ten Great Immortal Sects together."

"But somehow, the great demon lord clashed with the demonic sect again, causing even the demonic sect to join the hunt for him."

"This great demon is quite eccentric. He doesn't distinguish between good and evil, or between the strong and the weak, and has offended everyone in the cultivation world."

"He simply killed anyone he saw. As long as they were cultivators, whether they were righteous cultivators, members of the demonic sects, or even ghost cultivators and demon cultivators, he would not spare them."

"The entire cultivation world was his hunting ground, a place for him to hunt. And back then, the great demon was at the Integration stage."

That sounds terrifying.

The entire cultivation world is a hunting ground for a powerful demon in the Nascent Soul stage, so aren't we his prey?

Fortunately, the great demon was a figure from a thousand years ago and has nothing to do with us.
