In the room, I suddenly opened my eyes, and a faint talisman shone between my eyebrows.

"It turns out to be him!"

The black mist before was caused by me using paper puppetry to fuse the Nine Nether Demonic Qi in the magic crystal in order to create chaos within the Maoshan Sect.

As Taoist Yun Chen said, if you want to catch big fish, you must first muddy the water.

Now it seems that Taoist Xuanyin is most likely the Demon Lord hidden in Maoshan Sect.

The next step is to use the remaining few days to find out as many of the demonic beasts dormant in the dark as possible.

Because only a real ghost would deliberately conceal the truth of the matter.

Taoist Xuanyin chose to chase him personally because he naturally did not want Taoist Guyan to notice.

The fact is as I said, after returning, Taoist Xuanyin lied that the other party was a demon from Xieyue Sect.

The opponent was proficient in the art of concealment, and he finally escaped.

Since these devils want to cause trouble on Taiyuan Taoist's birthday, they naturally will not choose to expose themselves in advance.

Suddenly I realized that I seemed to be facing the same choice as Taoist Yunchen.

First of all, the Maoshan Sect and I have already been fighting to the death, so I have absolutely no reason to save them.

If old man Cang Xuan discovers my true identity, I'm afraid he will probably cut me into pieces.

But now the ghost demon is raging, and the Maoshan Sect is in danger.

If I don't save them, Maoshan will inevitably fall into chaos, and even the entire spiritual world will be implicated.

Do you want me to stand by and watch the human race's heavenly masters being slaughtered and corroded by ghost demons?

At this time, it seems that no matter what I do, I won’t feel very happy.

In the blink of an eye, the tenth day is approaching.

Maoshan Sect closed its gates and went out of business.

The nine peaks and twelve palaces are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it very lively.

Outside the Demon Zhen Cave, a thatched cottage stands on the mountain wall.

Taoist Cangxuan stood outside the Demon Suppressing Cave and bowed with the head of the Nine Peaks and Twelve Palaces.

"Today is Master Taiyuan's birthday. Cang Xuan led all the brothers here to welcome him out of seclusion.

All the disciples have gathered outside Jiuxiao Palace, waiting to wish Uncle Master a birthday."

As Taoist Cangxuan finished speaking, an old voice came from the hut.

"It's rare that you still remember me as an old guy, but now this Demon Suppressing Cave can't do without me.

I appreciate your filial piety and go back home."

Taoist Xuanyin rolled his eyes, as if he had expected Taiyuan to be so evasive, and quickly interrupted.

"Uncle Taiyuan, you have been in retreat during this period.

One thing you may not know is that Uncle Yunchen returned to Maoshan not long ago and brought back a young junior brother.

This demon cave has seals set by the ancestors of Maoshan in the past dynasties, so it is absolutely foolproof.

Why don't you let me guard it for you for a day, so that you can catch up with Master Yunchen when you are old?"

There was silence in the hut for a moment, and the door slowly opened.

An old man with a gray beard wearing a dark gray Taoist robe stood with his hands behind his back, floated down from the cliff, and landed in front of everyone.

This old man with a gray beard should obviously be Taiyuan Taoist.

This Taiyuan Taoist has a restrained aura, a purple complexion, and a faint scorching energy emanating from his body.

In terms of cultivation alone, this person may not be weaker than the current leader of Maoshan, Cang Xuan.

"Yun Chen is back, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Taoist Taiyuan's eyes were full of excitement. He and Yun Chen were the only two people of his generation in the Maoshan Sect.

Although the two have some differences on Maoshan Sect affairs, they are brothers who grew up together in the past.

Seeing this, Taoist Cangxuan quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and explained.

"Master Taiyuan, it was Master Yunchen who specifically asked us not to tell you about his return."

Taiyuan Taoist sighed softly, a look of complaint flashed in his eyes.

"Is this old guy still brooding about what happened back then? Where is he now?"

"Because Ziyun Palace has been rebuilt, Master Yunchen moved into the ancestor's ancestral hall in the back mountain after returning to the mountain."

Taoist Cangxuan replied sarcastically.

Ancestral Hall?

"This old guy will find a place to hide and be quiet."

Taoist Taiyuan's face darkened slightly, with a mocking look on his face.

"Master Taiyuan, this is Master Yunchen's direct disciple, Junior Brother Li Changqing."

At this time, Taoist Gu Yuan on the side suddenly pushed me out of the crowd and took the initiative to introduce me.

Taoist Taiyuan's face froze slightly, and his eyes glanced at me like a blade.

I couldn't help but sweat in my heart. This old guy has lived for more than a hundred years. Who knows if he will see through my disguise.

"Changqing, meet Uncle Taiyuan."

I frowned and quickly saluted Master Taiyuan.

Taoist Taiyuan's eyes wandered over me for a long time before he finally showed a faint smile.

"This old guy was buried up to his neck in soil before he even thought of accepting a disciple, but it looks like a good seedling.

Our Maoshan Sect has a successor!"

I was relieved. It seemed that Taoist Taiyuan had not seen through my identity.

Perhaps Taoist Yunchen's ability to see through me has nothing to do with my own cultivation.

At this time, there was a sound of breaking wind in the distance, and a Maoshan Heavenly Master fell next to Taoist Cangxuan and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Taoist Cangxuan frowned slightly and waved his hand towards the other party.

"Invite them into the temple first and tell them I will be there later."

After pondering for a moment, Taoist Cangxuan nodded slightly towards Taoist Taiyuan.

"Uncle Taiyuan, a disciple just reported.

Luo Chengfeng, the master of Xihua Palace, and Situ Jing, the head of the Fantasy Sect, came to pay homage to the mountain and said they wanted to wish Uncle Taiyuan his birthday."

Taoist Guyan frowned when he heard the sound and looked towards Taoist Cangxuan.

"Senior brother, are you the one who posted them?"

Taoist Cangxuan shook his head.

"I don't know about this matter, but everyone who comes here is a guest, so naturally we, the Maoshan Sect, cannot lose our etiquette."

After saying that, Taoist Cangxuan couldn't help but look towards Taoist Taiyuan.

"Uncle Taiyuan, look at this..."

"Fantasy Gate and Xihua Palace have always been in the same spirit as our Maoshan Sect.

Since people are going up the mountain to pay their birthdays, it would be a bit rude for me to stay closed.

It’s just that the Demon Suppression Cave is of great importance, and we need to send someone with a steady temperament and extraordinary moral conduct to guard it.”

Taiyuan Taoist glanced in the direction of the Demon Suppression Cave, showing a worried expression.

"Uncle Taiyuan, you can go with peace of mind, I will guard this place for you."

Seeing this, Taoist Xuanyin quickly recommended himself again.

Taoist Taiyuan glanced at Xuanyin, but finally his eyes fell on Taoist Guyan.

"Gu Yan, I'll leave this Demon Suppressing Cave to you for the time being. Don't take it lightly."

Taoist Guyan heard this and nodded heavily.

"Uncle Taiyuan, don't worry.

As long as I am here, I guarantee that not a single mosquito will fly out of the Demon Suppressing Cave."

Taoist Taiyuan nodded, trusting Gu Yan very much.

At this moment, Gu Yuanzhen suddenly took a step forward and offered to stay.

"Master, I just have some questions about Taoist swordsmanship that I would like to ask Uncle Guyan for advice. I would like to stay with Uncle Guyan to guard the Demon Suppression Cave."
