Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Yuanchu Yaosheng is setting out on an expedition!

This news, once released,

caused quite a disturbance within the Tianjian Continent.

Typically, when a Demon Saint embarks, it is done subtly.

Such formal outings are rare, so Yuanchu Yaosheng's departure naturally caused a stir.

Many Demon Generals who support Yuanchu Yaosheng gathered to serve as his escort.

Particularly the Dragon Clan, which sent several Golden Dragons over to pull the carriage for their Old Ancestor Yuanchu Yaosheng.

When the scale of the entourage was fully assembled, it truly astonished many—especially those fiercely loyal to Ji Meng; they were incredibly shocked.

Yuanchu Yaosheng's expedition features a carriage pulled by nine dragons, crafted from special materials with heavens within, outwardly resembling a Dragon Carriage, supremely domineering in its presence.

Also accompanied by hundreds of escort chariots, each manned by a Demon General.

Following were thousands of Monster Soldiers, making it a massive procession.

In the outskirts, there were also many experts from the various clans of the Demon Race, serving to protect Yuanchu Yaosheng as well.

This represented the greetings from the various clans of the Demon Race to Yuanchu Yaosheng.

In such circumstances,

it made Yuanchu Yaosheng's expedition seem extremely grand.

Those who knew better realized it was the expedition of a Demon Saint.

Those unaware even thought it was the Demon Emperor who was setting out.

...

Ji Meng, who was originally in seclusion in a side hall of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, also received this news.

Upon hearing it,

he couldn't help but frown.

Clearly, he was puzzled as to why Yuanchu would make such a high-profile departure.

But as baffled as he was, he didn't dwell on it.

He had planned to continue his seclusion.

However, the Demon General who had come to give him the news was incessantly speaking.

"Demon Saint! This Yuanchu Yaosheng's arrogance is unforgivable!"

"Moreover, with such an exaggerated scale on Yuanchu Yaosheng's departure, I suspect he harbors thoughts of rebellion. He holds the honor of a Demon Saint, yet his progression matches that only seen by a Demon Emperor!"

"Many people are also discussing this outside, and I believe there is truth to it!"

This Demon General began to say.

As he finished speaking,

he suddenly realized the atmosphere had turned eerily strange.

He looked up

and saw Ji Meng staring intently at him.

Just as the Demon General was about to ask something,

suddenly, Ji Meng extended one hand, and a Trident appeared, killing the Demon General with the swiftness of lightning before he could even react.

Bang!!

The Demon General had no time to respond and was spiked against the wall of the side hall, his soul extinguished.

"Even if the Demon Saint acts inappropriately, it is not your place as a Demon General to spout nonsense," Ji Meng coldly stated.

After speaking, he closed his eyes and resumed his seclusion.

He had no desire to concern himself with Yuanchu's affairs.

After all, he and Yuanchu were both Demon Saints, equal in status.

Moreover, Ji Meng considered Yuanchu's strength to be much greater than his own.

This was apparent during their encounter in the small bamboo forest at the Dragon Clan Ancestral Land.

Just the squeeze of a Golden Halo from Yuanchu posed a threat to his life.

Were they to fight, Yuanchu would surely be victorious.

In light of this situation, Ji Meng preferred not to involve himself with Yuanchu Yaosheng.

His priority was to concentrate on recovering his realm.

...

Meanwhile,

the news of Yuanchu Yaosheng's expedition

also reached Lin Mo, who was slaughtering Demon Tribes on the fringe of the Tianjian Continent.

Upon hearing the name 'Yuanchu,' Lin Mo was truly taken aback for a moment.

He was quite puzzled.

Wasn't 'Yuanchu' the name of his Respected Master?

"Why is there news of my Respected Master?"

"Could it be that Respected Master really isn't dead?"

Lin Mo fell into a state of doubt.

He was just about to call Li Cheng out to talk.

But he had not yet had the chance.

Suddenly, a voice came to his ears.

"Junior brother."

It was indeed Li Cheng's voice.

Lin Mo looked up.

Li Cheng was flying down from the Firmament, his expression very serious.

"Senior brother! Did you hear that news? Yuanchu Yaosheng is on the move! Isn't Yuanchu our Respected Master? Respected Master isn't dead!"

Lin Mo's voice trembled as he spoke.

"No, there is something very wrong about this matter, junior brother. Did you know that, not long ago, someone was watching you?"

Li Cheng did not express joy but spoke with a heavy face.

"Ah? Someone was watching me?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's expression changed dramatically, and he looked around fiercely.

"Don't bother thinking about it, those who were watching you have all been taken care of by me; you can't see them."

Li Cheng shook his head and spoke.

"Who were these people?"

Lin Mo took a deep breath and asked.

Upon hearing this,

Li Cheng walked up to Lin Mo, gently patted his shoulder,

And then, he began to speak slowly.

"I don't know, but if my guess is correct, this has definitely something to do with that Yuanchu Yaosheng. Don't rush to speak, listen to me first. You should know, our Respected Master used to be merely the Dragon Ancestor, not some Demon Saint. But now, he has turned into this Demon Saint, which is very odd..."

"Moreover, if Respected Master was really alive, why would he not come to find us? Why would there be people surveilling us? I think... there's a huge conspiracy involved in this matter!"

Li Cheng laid out all of his speculations, his eyes flashing with insight.

"Conspiracy? Senior brother, what kind of conspiracy do you think it could be?"

Lin Mo simply could not think of any kind of conspiracy.

"Don't rush, junior brother, you don't understand, let me explain it to you slowly,"

Li Cheng said softly.

He began to share his own suspicions with Lin Mo.

He suspected that this Yuanchu Yaosheng was not truly Yuanchu, nor their Respected Master.

Li Cheng had always known that the Demon Master and Ji Meng of the Demon Race did not get along.

And it seemed their Respected Master belonged to the faction of the Demon Master.

Not long ago, news spread that the Demon Master had betrayed them and fled the Tianjian Continent.

Li Cheng speculated that the death of their Respected Master might have been part of a struggle, where Ji Meng wanted to eliminate the Demon Master's influence and thus had someone kill their Respected Master.

This could also explain why Respected Master died at the hands of an obscure junior.

And now, this Yuanchu Yaosheng was probably an impostor.

Someone who wanted to use the name of their Respected Master to rule over the previous Dragon Clan and also to dispel the influence left by the Demon Master.

This was a huge conspiracy!

As for how Li Cheng knew this...

Don't ask; if you ask, it's all conjecture.

When Li Cheng finished sharing all his speculations,

Lin Mo became even more agitated.

The anger in his heart towards the Demon Race intensified wildly.

The Demon Race!

Ji Meng!

All deserve to die!

The intense fury caused Lin Mo's mind to become somewhat dazed.

At the critical moment, it was the Burial Sky Coffin that reopened and steadied Lin Mo's mind.

"Senior brother! I want to start taking action against the Demon Tribe!"

Lin Mo said through gritted teeth, wishing he could immediately go find Ji Meng and end him.

"Sigh, alright, go ahead."

Li Cheng let out a deep sigh, nodded in agreement, feeling it was indeed time to take action...
