However, such thoughts only surfaced for a very short time before being suppressed.
How could that be? Even if the Demon Lord is truly infatuated with him, would the other demon cultivators in the Demon Realm allow him to indulge a righteous cultivator who tramples on demon cultivators and acts arrogantly?
The rumors that were previously detrimental to him were simply because some people wanted to drag him down into the mire, so they spared no effort to smear him and make him look bad.
In reality, most people knew perfectly well that if Ji Mofan truly harbored rebellious intentions, he would not have gone to such lengths to return to the cultivation world at such an awkward moment.
Obeying the Demon Lord and becoming his Demon Queen would be no easier than what we are doing now.
The premise for daring to speak recklessly was that no one expected the Demon Lord to personally show up and support him.
Who would dare to accuse him of betraying the cultivation world now?
He should be a hero for all time, capable of making even the Demon Lord bow down to him.
"My little friend from Jimo."
Just when all was quiet, Qu Jin, who had been left standing there by Xiao Wangyan, suddenly spoke up.
Ji Mo Fan looked up at the figure standing in the air against the light.
"You just said that the Demon Lord's appearance here today was at your invitation?" Qu Jin asked him, "But why?"
His tone was calm and even, but every stroke of his pen was sharp as a flame.
"Naturally, it's to clarify the rumors." Ji Mofan didn't mince words and spoke frankly, "The Supreme Venerable has always lived a secluded life in the Xiaoling Sect, and he probably hasn't heard how much my reputation has been slandered in the cultivation world recently."
Qu Jin looked completely ignorant as he turned his gaze to the crowd on the viewing platform behind him.
"Elder Qian, what's going on?" he asked.
Elder Qian, who originally planned to quietly move his position away from the Yun Cang Sword Sect: ...
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..." He hurriedly wiped his sweat.
“Your Excellency is indeed well-informed,” Ji Mofan suddenly said again. “You recognized Elder Qian as an elder of the Yun Cang Sword Sect at a glance.”
“After all, the seats on the viewing platform are fixed.” Qu Jin’s face was expressionless, as if Ji Mo Fan had asked a trivial question.
It was clear to both of them that the key point in Ji Mo Fan's words was not about the Yun Cang Sword Sect's seat at all.
Yun Cang Sword Sect was a humble sect. Previously, few people knew the sect leader's name, let alone the elders.
Now, only Shen Yun is famous; the others are still unknown.
Qu Jin had just established himself as someone who was naive and knew nothing about Ji Mofan's recent situation, but he easily learned that the elder sitting in the Yun Cang Sword Sect was surnamed Qian.
It's almost as if they're wearing the words "I'm faking it" on their foreheads.
“Since Elder Qian says it’s a misunderstanding, then I think we don’t need to pursue it further, right?” Xiao Wangyan suddenly interjected at this moment.
"I've already said I'm not here to cause trouble today, but to see what kind of people the new generation of cultivators in your world are."
Having heard Xiao Wangyan's words, Qu Jin knew he couldn't say anything more.
After all, the Demon Lord is not like other ordinary demon cultivators.
If an unknown nobody gets into a conflict, he can be killed without anyone backing him up or using it as an excuse to cause trouble.
But Xiao Wangyan is the eye of the demon realm; if their eye is poked out, things will definitely not end well.
Having no other choice, Qu Jin could only exchange a few perfunctory pleasantries before turning back to the viewing platform.
On the viewing platform, Sect Leader Xiaoling had already arranged another seat above his own for Qu Jin to take his seat.
He was still wondering what to do if the Demon Lord also wanted to sit down here.
The viewing platform offers the best view of the entire venue, and given the Demon Lord's personality, he might very well want to sit there.
But after all, this is the territory of the various immortal sects, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to place anyone next to him.
Fortunately, before he could figure things out, the Demon Lord had already very considerately found a place to sit down.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the rules, in addition to the contestants, only one non-official disciple can accompany them as a mentor in the contestant's seat of the Dao Asking Tournament. Even the sect leaders can only go to the more remote audience seats.
The Demon Lord was not in the right and lacked confidence in the past, but even so, no one dared to stop him.
Nonsense! Not only did he not go on a killing spree and draw blood on the spot, but he was even willing to take the flying artifact that was floating in mid-air. They should already be grateful for that!
What more preferential treatment do you want? That's the Demon Lord!
However, the Demon Lord, whom they feared, upon descending from mid-air after putting away his magical artifacts, spoke the first words to Ji Mofan:
“I have done as you said,” he said. “Little Righteous Path, shouldn’t you also keep your promise and fulfill the vow you made to me?”
Ji Mofan didn't hesitate to talk back.
He sheathed the Snow Embracing Sword, and the icy sword intent slowly dissipated. He moved slightly closer, using the scattered spiritual light to conceal his mouth movements.
"Master, are you satisfied now?"
Because they were so close, Ji Mofan's breath almost touched Xiao Wangyan's neck as he spoke, making Xiao Wangyan almost subconsciously want to raise his hand to rub it.
By the time Xiao Wangyan had figured out what position to use to rub his neck, Ji Mofan had already walked past him and gone quite a distance.
...No, this little puppet really doesn't take me seriously!
He rubbed his ears.
But Jimo Fan was fearless and had nothing to fear.
Even though Xiao Wangyan retrieved his remnant soul, allowing him to maintain the illusion of being at the Mahayana stage, he could only truly unleash the power of the Void Refinement stage.
