"I am the world's ninth Heavenly Demon." The young man stood with his hands behind his back, his voice not loud but firm and clear.
The entire hall fell silent. This was the Outer Heavenly Chasm of the Righteous Immortal Alliance, the Xuansi Pass that had held back the Heavenly Demons for thousands of years. One man here claimed to be the master of the Ninth Heavenly Demon Hall, and everyone who had been raising their cups and chatting froze on the spot.
At the seat of honor, the Little Sword Immortal spat out a mouthful of tea and thumped his chest to cover up his embarrassment.
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?" A beautiful girl with her hair tied up and dressed in fine clothes swung her round jade weapon and punched the young man.
"Just kidding. I am An Qingsheng, the Little Immortal Doctor of the Medicine Immortal Valley." The young man clasped his hands in greeting. An aura of righteousness filled the surroundings, making everyone believe him without question.
Was it a joke? Or had the Heavenly Demon blown his cover before his infiltration was complete? Or did this Ninth Heavenly Demon have some other agenda?
Truth and lies, reality and illusion. At this moment, wind rose and rain fell over the pass that had stood unbroken for a thousand years!
