Devil's cave.

The Demon Lord's residence is also the base camp for a group of demon cultivators led by him.

There are endless mountains here, and most of the mountains have been hollowed out into caves. The demon cultivators live in them in three layers, and the main hall is in the center. As long as the Demon Lord gives an order, they will gather here.

It was noon, and Fan Wuyin was sitting on a high seat, his head resting on his arms on the armrests, looking drowsy.

"Report!"

A male cultivator named Tian Xiaole trotted into the main hall, knelt on one knee, and announced, "Master, we just received a message from the Ancient Spiritual Realm, saying that the Lord of Baili Territory wants to visit you in the Demonic Realm. He has already set off and will arrive soon."

"……What?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Wuyin's sleepiness immediately disappeared and his expression became slightly ugly.

He and Baili Chengfeng have never had a good relationship.

I don't understand why this person suddenly came to see him?

Could it be... that the other party asked him about his master in the Human Emperor Palace, and didn't give up because he didn't get an answer, so he came to ask him again relentlessly?

What a hassle!

Although he thought so in his heart, considering that this was a major event involving two domains, Fan Wuyin still had to put on a good show and said to his subordinates, "Give orders to prepare for the ceremony and welcome the arrival of Lord Baili."

"yes!"

Tian Xiaole responded and was about to leave when Fan Wuyin called him back.

"Wait," Fan Wuyin suddenly remembered something, "What's the situation inside the Heavenly Demon Ruins? Has the Left Protector sent any news that she has obtained the Life Mud?"

This matter is extremely important to Fan Wuyin.

Because this vitality mud is not what he wants to use, but what the statue of the demon enshrined in the demon cave wants.

This demon statue is different from the ordinary demon statues of the three major sects. It is the incarnation of Taohua Demon King, one of the six demon kings.

Taohua Demon King is not only the source of his original demonic energy, but also an important tool for him to determine the reincarnation of his master. He has to take this request seriously.

"Uh..." Tian Xiaole shook his head, "No news."

Fan Wuyin frowned. "It's almost seven days, and the Heavenly Demon Ruins are almost closed. Logically, the Left Protector should have obtained the Life Mud. Could it be...she didn't get it?"

Thinking of this, Fan Wuyin quickly shook his head.

No, Protector Zuo has always been prudent in his work. Whatever he orders will be done very properly. There is no reason for him to fail so suddenly this time.

Tian Xiaole looked up fearfully at Fan Wuyin's expression. "Master, do you have any other instructions?"

“No more…”

Fan Wuyin was about to raise his hand to let his subordinates leave when suddenly the space above his head became turbulent.

Wow——

A ripple appeared in the space, and then a humanoid creature appeared out of thin air!

This person was none other than Jiang Deng, who had activated the Thousand Mile Talisman not long ago.

Jiang Deng felt dizzy for a moment, and then his body fell uncontrollably.

A strong feeling of weightlessness came over him, but fortunately Jiang Deng was a physical cultivator, and his control over his body was extremely strong.

She quickly looked down and saw a pitch-black sphere below, just the right size for her to land on.

So, Jiang Deng turned over swiftly, raised the toes of one foot slightly, and stood on top of Fan Wuyin's head with the graceful posture of a golden rooster standing on one leg.

Fan Wuyin below: "..."

Jiang Deng above: "..."

Tian Xiaole in the palace: "...Hurry up and protect the emperor, there's an assassin!"

Just as Tian Xiaole was about to send someone to protect him, he was glared at by Fan Wuyin from above.

"Shut up!"

"oh……"

Tian Xiaole quickly shut up and huddled in the corner trembling.

Why is it so hard to guess what the master is thinking?

The master who always regards majesty and pomp as the most important thing is now being stepped on by someone. Why doesn't he get angry but blames him instead?

"Hahaha, what a coincidence."

When Jiang Deng heard that the black sphere he stepped on could actually speak, and the voice was so familiar, he immediately realized what he had stepped on.

This was already her second time using the Thousand Mile Talisman. Jiang Deng had obviously adapted to this sudden situation. She jumped off Fan Wuyin's head swiftly and stood opposite him.

“…”

Fan Wuyin quickly raised his hand and wiped off the dust on his head.

He was already unhappy about being stepped on the head, and when he saw Jiang Deng looking dusty and covered in mud, his face looked even uglier.

Although he didn't have a mysophobia, it was really annoying to see Jiang Deng coming to him without cleaning up...

It is said that people dress up to please themselves. Does Jiang Deng’s dressing like this mean that she doesn’t care about him at all?

"What do you want to see me for?"

Fan Wuyin said unhappily.

Jiang Deng cleared his mind of the awkwardness, put on a smile, and said pretentiously, "Haven't I come to seek refuge with you?"

Fan Wuyin snorted coldly, "If you really have me in your heart, why would you stand me up?"

"What?"

Jiang Deng was stunned. "When did I stand you up?"

"How dare you say that!" Hearing this, Fan Wuyin became even angrier. "That night, you clearly asked me to meet you at Third Senior Brother's residence, but when I arrived, I didn't see you. You even caused me to be misunderstood by Senior Senior Brother."

That night, he finally defeated his third senior brother in the Human Emperor Palace and excitedly went to his third senior brother's residence to find Jiang Deng. However, he was surrounded by his eldest senior brother and his men and was interrogated like a criminal.

When Fan Wuyin thought of what happened that night, he became very dissatisfied and even lost the enthusiasm to look for Jiang Deng.

These days, apart from asking the left protector to spread some portraits of Jiang Deng so that people from the Demon Realm could capture Jiang Deng when they saw them, he did not make any other efforts. It can be said that this is completely inconsistent with his style of taking the initiative.

This woman named Jiang Deng, who he didn't even know was the reincarnation of his master, had dared to treat him like this. He was going to remember this deeply in his heart!

"Oh, you're talking about this."

Jiang Deng thought hard and recalled that in order to kill his third disciple, he first made them both lose, and then sent his fifth disciple away.

"Hey, you misunderstood me. I also wanted to stay in the palace and wait for you. But I found out that the Emperor had evil intentions towards me and wanted to capture me for some kind of ceremony to crown me Queen. So I ran away without even having time to inform you. You should be okay, right?"

After listening to Jiang Deng's explanation, Fan Wuyin's expression really improved a lot. He sneered and said nonchalantly, "Oh, he's just a mere Human Emperor. What can I do to him?"

Jiang Deng quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, it seems that this matter has finally been resolved.

"However," Fan Wuyin looked at Jiang Deng again and said unhappily, "It's been nearly a month since we parted at the Human Emperor Palace. Why are you only now coming to see me?"
