Demon Lord Mo Yuan?

What a familiar name.

When Gu Qingcheng first came here, she witnessed a battle between immortals and demons.

Above the clouds, nine immortal kings fought against the demon king wearing black armor.

And that demon king seemed to be called "Mo Yuan".

After the war, Gu Qingcheng saved the souls of many immortals and demons in the battlefield between immortals and demons.

However, apart from a slightly "weird" white shadow, Gu Qingcheng did not find any residual soul related to Demon Lord Mo Yuan.

Of course, it is possible that Demon Lord Mo Yuan was sealed. He did not die, but just lost his freedom.

But Gu Qingcheng always felt something was wrong.

Demon Lord Mo Yuan is a demon, and demons are cunning. He will definitely leave a trick for himself!

Demon seed!

It's the backup plan he left for himself.

The demon seed in Lu Ming's body should be a move made by the Demon Lord Mo Yuan.

As for the shopkeeper's talk about the demon species resurrection—

Gu Qingcheng felt a little guilty, but she had not forgotten that she had once entered a cave in order to get the "reward" promised by the senior in white.

Perhaps, the moment Gu Qingcheng took away the pile of spirit stones, the demon seed was awakened.

And Lu Ming's destined fate of becoming a demon has also begun!

"...Uh, this must be destiny. Even if I hadn't been there, someone else would have strayed into the cave and accidentally triggered the formation."

“What’s more, the awakening of the demon seed in Lu Ming’s body has nothing to do with the white-robed shadow.”

All of this was just Gu Qingcheng's fantasy.

After all, until now, Gu Qingcheng still didn't know whether the white shadow was a fairy or a demon.

Gu Qingcheng tried hard to comfort herself, but she still felt guilty deep down.

Pei Yan had been paying close attention to his own Ah Qing's every move, every frown and smile. When he saw a hint of evasion in her beautiful cat eyes, he knew that Lu Ming's affairs might have something to do with her.

So what?

Even if Aqing was wrong, it was unintentional.

Not to mention, it’s not necessarily wrong!

Everything in the world of immortal cultivation has certain cause and effect.

Perhaps this is the will of heaven, and Aqing is just "going with the flow."

Pei Yan is definitely a biased poop scooper who only helps his relatives and not others. He will subconsciously make excuses for his own Ah Qing.

"No one in the world knows how Lu Ming awakened the demon, but his possession is a fact known to everyone."

"The great war between immortals and demons over two thousand years ago was so brutal that the nine great immortal sects suffered heavy losses. Their teachers and fellow disciples all perished. The surviving immortal sect masters will not allow another demon to appear on the Five Continents!"

The shopkeeper didn't know what Gu Qingcheng, Pei Yan and the others were thinking, so he continued to tell the story:

"Lu Ming has become a demon, and is not tolerated by the nine major immortal sects of the Five Continents."

"Lu Ming was surrounded and attacked by the nine major immortal sects, and Xihai City was also overthrown."

"Lu Ming was seriously injured and was rescued in a critical moment by his own demon pet, the ancient mythical beast, the white tiger."

"Since then, Lu Ming's whereabouts have been unknown!"

"Some people say that Lu Ming went to the Demon Realm and really became the Demon Lord."

"Some also say that Lu Ming was hidden by Lingxiao Sect's Yaoguang Patriarch and is hiding in a corner to recuperate."

"Some say—"

The shopkeeper kept on talking, telling all the rumors about Lu Ming in the martial arts world.

Gu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow, "It's just a rumor? You guys at the Treasure Pavilion shouldn't just follow the crowd, right?"

The shopkeeper was not angry after hearing Gu Qingcheng's slightly provocative words.

He curled the corners of his lips slightly, "Of course not!"

He was full of pride, "Our Treasure Pavilion is spread across the five continents, so we are naturally well-informed."

"As for the rumors circulating in the market, the Treasure Pavilion will distinguish the truth from the false and follow the clues to get to the bottom of it..."

After some investigation, the Treasure Pavilion actually found some traces of Lu Ming.

"Battleground of Immortals and Demons!"

The shopkeeper raised his head and looked at the little cat intently. "The Treasure Pavilion heard that someone once saw a person and a cat in the fairy city near the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons—"

"One person and one cat? Haha, one person and one cat means it's Lu Ming? Doesn't that also apply to me and little Pei Yan?"

Gu Qingcheng just chuckled twice and directly interrupted him.

Shopkeeper: ...

The owner of the Treasure Pavilion, who was always confident and talkative, was now choked by Gu Qingcheng and was speechless.

Well, okay, Gu Qingcheng was not wrong. This pair of their main pets really looked a bit like that devil Lu Ming.

If a cultivator has never seen Lu Ming, he will definitely make a mistake just by looking at the combination of "one man and one cat".

Wrong person?

Gu Qingcheng and Pei Yan thought at the same time, and the cat and the person looked at each other again——

Gu Qingcheng: ...So, the "top-notch" female cultivator at the city gate is not just mentally ill, but she recognized the wrong person?

Pei Yan: ...Aqing is right!

etc!

The female cultivator admitted her mistake once, and there will probably be a second time.

If she were free, would she "call for someone"?
