Chapter 159: The Siege of Niankong Villa, No Recognition!

~7 min read 1,392 words

"Red Lotus Demon Venerable..."

Inside Niankong Villa, Liu Moran looked at the intelligence she had just obtained, her eyes slowly beginning to turn serious.

She did not know what kind of person the Red Lotus Demon Venerable was, but watching the actions of the Red Lotus Demon Venerable, watching the Red Lotus Demon Venerable impart copies of the Starfire Technique to ordinary people in the human world, a thought suddenly arose in Liu Moran's heart.

"Is it you..."

"Red Lotus Demon Venerable, is it you, Senior Brother..."

That night, Liu Moran flipped through the intelligence regarding the Red Lotus Demon Venerable in her hands over and over again; after countless times of reading, this thought that simply could not be stopped arose in Liu Moran's heart countless times.

Clearly, the Red Lotus Demon Venerable had nothing in common with the Senior Brother in her memories, yet Liu Moran could not stop that thought in her heart.

Also after this night, Liu Moran began to arrange for the members of Niankong Villa to start tracking the whereabouts of the Red Lotus Demon Venerable.

It was not just Liu Moran who noticed Gu Jiangming after the Red Lotus Demon Venerable became famous; on the other side, Jiu Jiu, who had already returned from overseas, also thought of Gu Jiangming the moment she noticed the Red Lotus Demon Venerable.

Even though in the eyes of countless people in the human world, Gu Jiangming and the Red Lotus Demon Venerable probably had nothing to do with each other, and even the vast majority of people or the Demon Race in the world accepted Gu Jiangming's unscrupulous title of Demon Venerable.

After all, after Gu Jiangming transformed into the Red Lotus Demon Venerable, he killed not only demons and humans, but also those who had once obtained the Starfire Technique.

Not everyone in this world can uphold their original heart; some are bullied to the extreme when they are weak, and after becoming strong, they bully those who come after them even more severely.

Gu Jiangming's Starfire Technique was spread too widely, so widely that anyone and everyone practiced the Starfire Technique.

It was precisely because Gu Jiangming indiscriminately killed all practitioners that people made Gu Jiangming's title of Demon Venerable increasingly well-deserved.

But Jiu Jiu was different; Jiu Jiu had experienced the complete Shushan, and she knew too well what kind of person Gu Jiangming was.

Even though the actions of the Red Lotus Demon Venerable did not have much in common with Gu Jiangming, Jiu Jiu, just like Liu Moran, was convinced that Gu Jiangming was the Red Lotus Demon Venerable!

But man proposes, God disposes; just as Liu Moran had begun to mobilize the members of Niankong Villa to track Gu Jiangming's whereabouts, the situation at Niankong Villa was becoming more perilous with each passing day.

The existence of the Qilin Divine Child destined Niankong Villa to be the focus of attention for countless Demon Race and even Human Race.

Before Gu Jiangming met the Old Man Taicang, Niankong Villa was already suffering from the impact of the Demon Race, but at that time Gu Jiangming's strength was insufficient, and even though he knew Niankong Villa was suffering from the impact of the Demon Race, he could not provide effective assistance.

【Niankong Villa.】

【Villa Master: Liu Moran (Enlightenment Stage)】

【Young Villa Master: Gu Nianmo (Nascent Soul Stage)】

【Other members: Liu Family Four Guards (Purple Quality), Nineteen Sword Disciples (Purple Quality), One Hundred Twenty Halls (Blue Quality).】

【Total population: 7721 people.】

【Current status: Suffering from the frantic impact of the Demon Race, in imminent danger.】

Liu Moran was paying attention to Gu Jiangming, and how could Gu Jiangming not be paying attention to Niankong Villa? Especially when he saw the glaring red on the Seek Immortality Interface and saw the perilous state of Niankong Villa, Gu Jiangming's heart tightened.

【When you learned of the perilous situation Niankong Villa was facing, you did not hesitate much and began to rush toward the location of Niankong Villa without stopping.】

【You did not conceal your existence; your face wore a Bronze Mask, declaring your identity as the Red Lotus Demon Venerable to the world.】

【When you arrived at the location of Niankong Villa, what you saw was a scene of wailing everywhere and utter devastation.】

【Among them were Human Race and Demon Race; regardless of whether they were Human Race or Demon Race, the moment they saw you, they took the initiative to clear a path, believing that you had also come for the Qilin Divine Child.】

【But your actions exceeded everyone's expectations; outside Niankong Villa, you opened a second battlefield.】

【Whether it was the Human Race or the Demon Race, they were either passively or actively drawn into the second battlefield; you began to indiscriminately slaughter every existence you could see before you; your pitch-black pupils, your blood-weeping mask, and your scarlet flames made the world realize the power of the Red Lotus Demon Venerable for the first time.】

【Outside Niankong Villa, you slaughtered 14,911 of the Demon Race and 3,162 of the Human Race; you stood in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood; you are a Demon Venerable worthy of the name!】

On the Seek Immortality panel, lines of text began to refresh continuously; the short text could not describe the cruelty and bloodshed of the second battlefield outside Niankong Villa at all.

For all the enemies Gu Jiangming faced, whether they were Demon Race or Human Race, the only outcome was death.

Their blood fueled the burning of the scarlet flames around the Red Lotus Demon Venerable, and their wails became the embellishment and background for the Demon Venerable standing in the human world.

Inside Niankong Villa, Liu Moran also noticed the scenes on the second battlefield outside Niankong Villa.

She looked at Gu Jiangming standing on the mountain of corpses and sea of blood; there was endless tenderness between her brows, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was a joy that could not be depicted.

If Liu Moran had only suspected that Gu Jiangming was the Red Lotus Demon Venerable before, then after the Red Lotus Demon Venerable appeared in such a way, Liu Moran was completely certain in her heart that Gu Jiangming was the Red Lotus Demon Venerable!

【After the great battle, your unscrupulous partiality ultimately aroused Liu Moran's suspicion.】

【Outside Niankong Villa, Liu Moran stopped you as you were about to leave.】

【Please make your choice!】

【1: Take off your mask, reveal your appearance, and confess everything to Liu Moran.】

【2: Coldly rebuke Liu Moran, tell her to clear the path, and tell her that you just couldn't stand the Demon Race slaughtering the Human Race.】

【3: Take off your mask, change your appearance, and tell her that she has recognized the wrong person, that you are not the person she is looking for.】

On the Seek Immortality interface, three completely different visual images appeared once again.

Gu Jiangming looked at the choices on the panel in front of him, and he couldn't help but wear a wry smile on his face.

He did not expect, did not expect that the appearance of his Red Lotus Demon Venerable would lead to such a big scene; even if he wanted to conceal his figure and wanted to secretly help Niankong Villa, his current identity as the Red Lotus Demon Venerable destined him to be unable to conceal himself.

【You chose the third route; you revealed your altered face, opened your pitch-black pupils, and told the other party without blushing or skipping a beat that she had recognized the wrong person, actually not wanting to involve her in your troubles.】

【Liu Moran looked at that completely unfamiliar face, looked at how her own reflection could not be seen in your pitch-black pupils, and Liu Moran fell silent.】

【Liu Moran could not determine your true identity; she chose to let you be a guest at Niankong Villa, hoping to slowly explore your identity.】

【You refused Liu Moran's invitation and continuously stimulated the demonic Qi on your body, coordinating with your pitch-black pupils, wanting to completely sever yourself from the Gu Jiangming that Liu Moran knew.】

【You successfully shook off Liu Moran, but what you didn't know was that you were targeted by someone else...】
