Still Refusing to Admit It?!

Hint: You have discovered a fragmented Two-Dimensional World!

"You have sensed the presence of the mythical tree ' Ruo Tree (2D version)'..."

Nuoluo and Bai Qianqian slowly walked into the reception area of Immortal Abode.

Roger walked steadily and remained composed.

But that didn't stop him from using his senses to frantically search for items that touched his heartstrings.

Very soon.

He sensed a strong signal at the bottom of the pond in the waterside pavilion east of Immortal Abode!

The aura of the seed of the Mythical Creature that I had previously sensed.

That's where it comes from.

"The West Tallen is indeed quite different from ordinary Historical World!"

"There's even a fragmented Two-Dimensional World hidden inside?"

"But what exactly is this Ruo Tree? Is it related to Mythical Creature?"

Thinking and thinking.

Roger was itching to get his hands on it.

Fortunately, he had a strong will.

At that moment, he simply threw a spell mark towards the bottom of the pool in a very discreet manner.

He then wholeheartedly embraced the Nuoluo's enthusiastic introduction.

Nuoluo first led Bai Qianqian and Roger to a quaint courtyard for a short rest.

She herself went to inform the city lord, Jia Daoren.

Roger had thought this segment would last a long time.

To everyone's surprise Nuoluo returned in less than a minute, beaming as she told Lord Roger that he was willing to see him.

As for the Nine Provinces Treasure Ship...

The Nuoluo never mentioned it.

Roger knew perfectly well what was going on, so he decided to cooperate with them and continue the charade.

The three of them then walked through a dense bamboo forest.

We arrived at a hill on a higher elevation in Immortal Abode.

Here are several rather elegant bamboo rooms.

Its appearance and structure are quite similar to the bamboo house Roger had encountered in the Jade Phoenix Nest.

The group entered the bamboo room in the very center.

Jia Daoren sat upright in the center of the room.

There was a small coffee table in front of him.

Several prayer cushions were scattered elsewhere.

"Please sit down."

Jia Daoren forced a smile.

After being threatened by that starship representative.

He also found it difficult to maintain a peaceful state of mind.

A hint of surprise flashed in Nuoluo's eyes.

However, she still tried her best to smile and smooth things over.

The three of them took their seats one after another.

Bai Qianqian and this Jia Daoren clearly knew each other.

After saying hello, they stopped talking.

Instead, he nervously glanced at Roger out of the corner of his eye.

The Nuoluo is in better condition.

But his furrowed brows clearly indicated that he had sensed something was amiss.

Jia Daoren was in the worst condition.

He seemed somewhat distracted.

Aside from initially avoiding focusing too much on Roger to avoid suspicion,

After that, he practically stared intently at Roger.

That gaze.

It looked as if they wanted to peel Roger apart and eat him!

In a short time.

The atmosphere inside the bamboo room was extremely awkward.

"Lord City Lord..."

Nuoluo coughed and continued her warm-up, "This Mister Ji is Bai Ermei's friend. He's here to ask about the Nine Provinces Treasure Ship. What do you think...?"

Jia Daoren suddenly realized what was happening.

He smiled and shook his head at the three of them, "I've had a lot of troubles these past few days, I'm sorry to have made you all laugh."

"To be honest, many people have asked me about the ship. All the major powers in the city are concerned about when the service can be resumed... but this is not something that our Cloud Gathering City alone can decide."

"As far as I know, Yu Lang Mountain has been destroyed due to the demonic calamity, and Heavenly Emperor Mountain has also suffered heavy damage. If we go there now, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of everyone on and off the ship."

Roger nodded:

"This is perfectly reasonable."

Jia Daoren tapped the tea table lightly with his index finger. "Since you are Bai Ermei's friend, then you are my friend. How about this, I was just about to investigate the situation of Yu Lang Mountain again, so why don't we go together?"

As he spoke.

He slowly took out a round, bulging object from his pocket.

You can tell from the outline of the cloth that wraps it.

It was a mirror.

After completing this action.

Jia Daoren also subconsciously glanced at Roger.

Seeing that he didn't react extremely, she placed the covered mirror on the coffee table.

Hint: You have discovered the ' Revealing Mirror (Magic Weapon)'.

"The Revealing Mirror: It can be used to detect the affiliation and race of demons, spirits, mortals, ascended beings, and celestial demons..."

Roger found it somewhat amusing.

This Jia Daoren was quite tactful in his dealings.

In order not to arouse one's own disgust and wariness.

Bringing out a magical artifact was practically a setup.

Faced with Jia Daoren's good intentions.

Roger certainly had no choice but to agree.

So he boldly moved closer.

This move was clearly a bit too much in the not-so-spacious bamboo room.

Jia Daoren was fine.

The other two women were startled.

Especially Bai Qianqian.

Her fine bangs were plastered to her forehead.

This is because you've been sweating too much.

Seeing this scene.

Nuoluo quickly and quietly grabbed Bai Qianqian.

He then gestured angrily towards the direction of Jia Daoren.

This is a subtle hint to her not to panic.

There is a city lord here.

Bai Qianqian let out a soft breath.

Too.

Jia Daoren is a renowned master in Yunhai.

It ranks among the top ten among the Ascended.

Despite the poor image.

But the saying "you can't judge a book by its cover" is best exemplified in his case.

Whatever happens in this bamboo room tonight.

Everything should be within his control.

That's what I've been thinking about.

Bai Qianqian finally relaxed.

He also pulled Nuoluo over there.

"It takes some time for my ' Sky Peering Mirror ' to take effect. Hehe, don't be fooled by its slow speed. As long as it has previously shone on a place, a little True Qi is enough to see what that place looks like now..."

Jia Daoren explained with a smile.

The outer casing of the mirror was slowly removed.

I also adjusted the angle of the mirror.

The dark blue cloth slipped silently off.

Suddenly, a handsome face appeared in the mirror! But the next second...

Roger in the mirror suddenly shed his human skin.

It turned into a dark, ominous mass!

"Heavenly Demon!"

"You really are a demon!"

The Nuoluo screamed.

He immediately took three steps back!

Bai Qianqian was also stunned.

She was the first person to question Roger's origins.

But deep down in her heart...

There's still a sliver of hope that I've misunderstood!

But now that dream has come true.

However, she didn't experience much joy from having her judgment affirmed.

Instead.

It was a profound sense of loss.

In an instant.

She gritted her teeth.

He silently gripped his Celestial Sword tightly.

Then it stood between the Nuoluo and Roger.

Roger himself was stunned.

What's the meaning of this mirror?

So you're just going to slander me? I'm clearly a pure human being! This is framing me! So he pointed at the mirror and said to Jia Daoren, "There's something wrong with this mirror."

Upon hearing this...

Jia Daoren was completely stunned.

He had never seen such a shameless demon! His true form was completely exposed.

Still being stubborn?! Shouldn't this be the moment when the demon cackles and then reveals his true colors?...

"This demon has extremely strong willpower; he's no ordinary opponent. I must completely break through his defenses and make him submit willingly!"

He recalled the methods of fighting against the Heavenly Demon recorded in ancient books.

Jia Daoren calmed himself down.

He spoke coldly:

"Then I'll stand up and take a look at your whole body."

Roger frowned and said, "Take pictures anywhere."

"But I still have to say, there's something wrong with this mirror!"

Jia Daoren a forced, insincere laugh and chuckled twice:

"This magic weapon was passed down from my master's master's master. It has been used for nearly a thousand years without any problems. What could possibly be wrong with it?"

"You'd better confess sooner rather than later!"

As he spoke.

He got up and took a few steps back.

Then the light was shone on Roger.

Roger's upper body was reflected in the mirror.

Same as before.

His head and upper body instantly turned into terrifying black mist.

Just as Jia Daoren was about to deliver a sharp rebuke.

Who knows what will happen next?

A wisp of cyan-gold light was actually emanating from the black mist!

The color of the light was very pure.

It has a very ethereal, otherworldly quality.

He's clearly not an ordinary person.

Jia Daoren was greatly surprised.

He quickly leaned closer to take a closer look.

However, it was found on Roger's right arm, left palm, chest, and ribs.

Each of them flashed with four beams of divine light!

"Notification: Your Formless Sword Bone, Wind Riding Sword Bone, White Ape Heart Bone, and Azure Emperor Longevity Bone have been discovered..."

"Immortal Bone!"

"These are the Immortal Bone that only immortals or those who Heaven Path Ascension have!"

"Huh?"

"If he has Immortal Bone, then he can't possibly be a celestial demon..."

Jia Daoren on with a face full of doubt.

"But what about that black mist?"

The Nuoluo quickly interjected:

"It looks rather frightening to me. If it's not a celestial demon, where did the black aura come from?"

Jia Daoren pondered for a moment and said:

"Can you let me take another look?"

Roger waved his hand casually:

"Like I said, feel free to take pictures!"

So Jia Daoren retreated several steps.

It almost reached the edge of the bamboo room.

This time.

The mirror reflected Roger's entire body! The moment Roger's image appeared on the mirror.

The four men's gazes were immediately fixed on him! Whoosh! His flesh and blood transformed into a thick black mist.

Clang! His Immortal Bone reflected a bluish-gold hue.

A strange croak followed.

A strangely shaped frog actually fell out of the black mist!

It wasn't as detailed as Jia Daoren had observed.

More and more things were being shaken off from the black mist—

Gray Dwarf.

Johnny Turtle.

Thunder Dragon.

Titan Ant.

Necromancer.

Aether Dragon Eater.

Almost in the blink of an eye.

Dozens of demonic creatures then emerged from the black mist.

Indistinctly.

There were even many shadows of real dragons!

"You, you..."

What exactly are you?

Jia Daoren was horrified.

on the one hand.

He had never seen such a diverse group of people! It was practically a monster hodgepodge!

Calling him a celestial demon is not unreasonable.

On the other hand...

He had never seen such a dense 'demonic energy' before! This level of demonic energy.

How many people must have been killed to gather this? Normally speaking...

Even a demon would have gone mad by now if they were this kind of person.

How come they still look perfectly fine? And...

What about that righteous and awe-inspiring Immortal Bone?

Jia Daoren was completely dumbfounded.

He really couldn't figure out Roger's identity.

The latter, however, saw such a detailed analysis in the mirror.

They couldn't help but marvel at it secretly.

This Revealing Mirror looks ordinary.

I didn't expect them to be so powerful.

They actually dissected the source of their power completely.

This made him somewhat curious about the origin of this magical artifact.

"Your mirror is pretty amazing."

"Can I borrow it to take a look?"

Roger couldn't help but ask.

Jia Daoren didn't know how to answer.

He could only bite the bullet and change the subject. "There might be something wrong with this mirror..."

Roger shrugged and said, "Anyway, I'm not a demon."

"I admit I do come from beyond the realm, but the beyond the realm isn't all demons..."

Upon hearing this...

The three people inside the bamboo room were all invigorated.

Jia Daoren hurriedly asked:

"Then this demonic energy..."

Roger answered simply:

"I killed a lot of things that deserved to be killed."

"Besides, have you ever seen a demon as upright as me?"

"Are there any Heavenly Immortal Bone who can cultivate to the point of achieving immortality?"

"See for yourselves!"

"These four Immortal Bone were all cultivated by me through hard work!"

As he spoke.

He simply displayed the four Immortal Bone.

The three of them went over to take a look.

Then his face was full of envy.

How can I not be envious! Immortal Bone are essentially the most exquisite 'equipment' for Qi Refiner! In the knowledge system of the Cloud Sea World.

Only those with great perseverance and enlightenment can cultivate Immortal Bone! Roger's identity.

Indeed, as he said.

It should lean towards being more upright.

Inside the bamboo room.

The atmosphere eased somewhat.

Roger watched with slight interest.

Without making a sound, Jia Daoren put the mirror away.

He then cupped his hands in apology to Roger: "I apologize, Your background is indeed extraordinary. We can only verify it cautiously. I hope you can understand... The Heavenly Demon is far too terrifying for us people within this domain..."

Roger was quite open-minded:

"It doesn't matter!"

"As long as it's not something too outrageous, I'm willing to cooperate with you. After all, I'm really not a demon."

Jia Daoren took a breath:

"I see."

"We trust you too, but just in case, we need to do one last verification."

Roger nodded casually:

"How so?"

Jia Daoren said sincerely:...

"The reason we're so tense is because we recently witnessed a strange phenomenon where our sacred mountain, ' Peach Blossom Mountain,' was possessed by a Demonic Possession!"

"That Demonic Possession was on a massive scale; almost every named spirit in Peach Blossom Mountain was possessed by a demon of unknown origin!"

"Since you are from beyond this realm, you must not have witnessed that terrifying scene!"

"To be honest, my reaction after watching the whole thing was exactly the same as everyone else's—it was absolutely terrifying!"

"Unfortunately, the strange phenomenon dissipated too quickly, and we didn't get to see the final outcome. We also don't know what happened to that demon in the end!"

"It is precisely because of this matter that the ascendants of Yunhai are so wary of the Heavenly Demon. I hope you will not blame Bai Ermei for this, as she did indeed witness some of the strange phenomena!"

Jia Daoren spoke at length.

Roger's expression gradually turned awkward.

So what I did in Peach Blossom Mountain was recorded by the strange phenomenon of West Tallen! The key is that it wasn't even recorded completely! Could they think that I possessed all the spirits in Peach Blossom Mountain?

"... The specifics are as follows: During the Heavenly Demon incident, a Loose Immortal from Peach Blossom Mountain Eternal Joy Village Blossom Mountain and happened to stop over in our Cloud Gathering City. According to him, he was the first eyewitness to the Heavenly Demon incident, and I have checked his background; he is absolutely innocent..."

Jia Daoren looked at Roger with a relaxed expression:

"I would like to invite him to meet with you."

"That Loose Immortal experienced the Heavenly Demon incident, so he must be extremely sensitive to Heavenly Demons. As long as he thinks you are alright, then there is no problem. What do you say?"

"It's just a formality."

He said with a smile.

The city lord smiled.

Bai Qianqian and Nuoluo smiled in relief.

Especially Bai Qianqian.

His face was full of embarrassment.

They were practically burying their heads in his open and honest chest...

The Nuoluo looked at Roger with great interest.

They seem particularly curious about the identity of "outsiders".

All three of them felt that way.

Roger wasn't even afraid of Revealing Mirror.

Naturally, he wouldn't be afraid to confront a Loose Immortal.

The process for this matter has been completed.

This misunderstanding about the Heavenly Demon was thus resolved.

Bai Qianqian even started to think about how to make amends to Roger.

But the next second.

But Roger firmly refused, saying, "That's not appropriate."

All three of them were taken aback.

Jia Daoren asked in surprise:

Why is it inappropriate?

Roger racked his brains but couldn't come up with a suitable excuse.

He coughed and laid his cards on the table, saying, "Because that 'Heavenly Demon' of Peach Blossom Mountain... is indeed me."

Jia Daoren was confused:

"Then are you a Heavenly Demon or not?"

Roger replied decisively, "Of course not!"

He then added, "But sometimes it is."

"These kinds of times don't happen very often..."

"In fact, that's not the case most of the time!"

Inside the bamboo room.

Everyone fell silent.

They wore expressions of deep contemplation about life.

Roger sighed softly.

He hadn't even figured out how to explain his unstable demonic state yet.

Outside the Immortal Abode.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle blared!...

"Warning: You have encountered the ' Heaven-Tier Starship: 002 (Sky Walker)'"

"You've sensed the presence of Vortex Creature..."

"You have discovered the Vortex Creature Lord: Iloz (LV151/Hero/Rank: Swordsman, Phoenix, Ashes...)"

"Oh..."

"There were still some who slipped through the net!"

A low laugh echoed in Immortal Abode.

"Give me your name."

"Then become my crew."

"Obedient."

"Don't resist."

"Promise me you won't cause yourself unnecessary suffering, okay?"
