I have the face of a great demon.

"Be careful, this is an illusion!" Xingchen hurriedly warned Tiezhu, but Tiezhu was no longer by her side.

"Illusion? What illusion?" Tie Zhu asked in confusion upon hearing Liu Xingchen's voice.

He found nothing unusual.

But when he turned around, he was shocked: "Where's Xingchen? Where did you go?"

Liu Xingchen vanished into thin air in the open space behind him.

Hua Laodao's voice came from afar: "Tiezhu, come quickly to your master."

Tie Zhu rushed over, shouting anxiously as he ran, "Master, Brother Xingchen is missing!"

"No, he's not your Star Brother, he's the Great Demon."

"Master, what's wrong with you? He's clearly Brother Xingchen." Tiezhu looked incredulous.

"Tiezhu, look." Old Hua waved his hand lightly, and a light screen appeared in front of them. Who else could the figure in the light screen be but Liu Xingchen?

"Brother Xingchen! Master, where is Brother Xingchen? Is he trapped in the secret realm? We need to rescue him quickly!"

"I've already said it, he's a great demon." Old Hua's voice carried an undeniable air of authority.

"Master, look closely! This is clearly Brother Xingchen!" Tiezhu stamped his feet anxiously.

"No, he is a great demon. Tiezhu, open your eyes wide and watch, your master will expose his true colors."

Liu Xingchen realized he was trapped in an illusion. He quickly assumed a defensive stance, observing his surroundings, and did not move around easily for fear of triggering an attack from the secret realm.

He believed that his master could control the secret realm and would soon rescue him.

At that moment, a faint, ethereal voice came from the sky.

"You great demon, you've finally met your match. Back then, the secret realm of the Wuhua Sect couldn't hold you, and you escaped. Now, let's see what skills you have left to escape!"

That voice is clearly my master's.

Liu Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, even Master now sees me as a great demon.

He quickly protested, "Master, it's me, I'm Xingchen, not the great demon."

"You still dare to argue? Do you really think I know nothing?"

"If you're not a great demon, why did you steal his valuables from Qian Duoduo?"

"His behavior after having too much money shows that he has really run into a big devil, and that devil is you!"

Liu Xingchen hurriedly explained, "No, Master, this is a misunderstanding."

Tie Zhu also shouted anxiously from the side, "Master, this is really a misunderstanding."

"No, this is not a misunderstanding. You didn't expect this, did you? Among the wealth of money were more than a dozen jade slips. I broke the seals on them while I was in seclusion. Do you know what's inside?"

Liu Xingchen had a bad feeling after hearing this.

Could it be?

"That's right, it's the portrait of the great demon." His master's voice was like a heavy stone pressing down on Liu Xingchen's heart.

"I know Qian Duoduo too well. He will definitely take advantage of the panic caused by this big devil to make money. He's doing this to make money by selling portraits of the big devil."

"I've already seen the portrait of the great demon. Do you think you can hide it from me now?"

Liu Xingchen was in despair. This money was really a curse, as it contained a portrait of a major villain, which had pulled this stunt at a crucial moment.

He had no choice but to continue explaining, "Master, please let me explain."

"I don't know why, but people always treat me like a big demon. But I'm really not a big demon, it's just that I look a bit like him, which leads to misunderstandings." Liu Xingchen's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"Master, think about it, what I've done is exactly like what a great demon would do?"

Hua Laodao snorted and said coldly, "To me, you look like a great demon."

"The big devil's recent deeds have all been spread, and every single one of them is related to you."

"Outside Lingzhou City, the Great Demon King killed a disciple of the Heavenly River Sect. I've already questioned Tie Zhu about this; you were the one who killed him. How do you explain that?"

“Master, I did kill that Tianhe Sect disciple, not the Great Demon. It's just that others mistakenly thought it was the Great Demon who did it.”

"If you weren't a great demon, how could a mere martial artist like you possibly kill a cultivator?"

"Don't tell me it's thanks to some divine sword. Everyone knows that even if you get a cultivator's sword, without the support of magic power, it's just an ordinary sword."

"This..." Liu Xingchen was speechless. This was indeed inexplicable because it involved spirits and ghosts.

Should we talk about the ghost to clear up the misunderstanding?

As he hesitated, Old Master Hua spoke again:

"Furthermore, at the Twin Peaks Sect, the sect leader and elders present all claimed that the Great Demon disguised himself as a newcomer participating in the assessment and infiltrated the sect, and you were one of those newcomers. You still say you're not the Great Demon?"

"They really made a mistake. There's nothing I can do about it because I look like a big demon."

"Fine, even if they admit they were wrong. If you're not a great demon, how could you have knocked so many cultivators from the Twin Extremes Sect to the ground?"

"Master, I really didn't do this. I don't know what happened. The formation seems to have malfunctioned, and everyone has been attacked by it."

"Even if it's a problem with the formation, so many people have collapsed and are unable to get up within it, so why are you unharmed?"

"This..." Under Hua Laodao's persistent questioning, Liu Xingchen was speechless again.

This involves the matter of the black robe, so it's even more impossible to discuss.

Liu Xingchen vaguely sensed that this black robe was not simple, and might even be related to the Great Demon. If the black robe was also exposed, it would confirm that he was the Great Demon.

Tie Zhu listened from the side, recalling these events, and found them all unbelievable. Each and every one of them was related to the Great Demon, making one unable to help but suspect that Liu Xingchen was the Great Demon.

But he still firmly believed that Liu Xingchen was not a great demon.

“Master, I, Tiezhu, swear to heaven that Brother Xingchen is not a great demon. I have been with him for so long, I know him better than anyone, he is a good person.”

Hua Laodao said with a heavy heart, "Tiezhu, you've been deceived. That big devil is a treacherous villain; he's a master of deception. He's just pretending to be a good person."

Seeing that this explanation was ineffective, Liu Xingchen could only try a different approach to persuade his master.

“Master, think about it again. Legend has it that the Great Demon Lord was at the Integration Stage, and may even have successfully transcended the tribulation and become a Great Ascension Stage cultivator.”

"My master should know very well what level of cultivation I am; I could never be a great demon."

"That's right, that's right." Upon hearing this, Tie Zhu immediately perked up and chimed in, "Master, Brother Xingchen's cultivation level is so low, he couldn't possibly be a great demon."

Hua Laodao raised his hand: "Your cultivation is low, is that it? Fine, I'll see just how low your cultivation really is."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a fireball fell from the sky, crashing down on Liu Xingchen like a meteorite.
