“So, this is exactly where Uncle Junior’s brilliance lies! As I said, pretending to have the strength of a grandmaster—an eighteen-year-old grandmaster… In all of Great Yan Prefecture, that would definitely be number one, and even across the entire Qianyuan Continent, he’d rank in the top five! With such fame, countless experts would surely come to challenge him…”

Elder William Grant explained, “You can hide once, twice, three times, but what about many times? Lies will always be exposed one day!”

Everyone nodded.

While bearing great fame, you must also bear even greater pressure.

“By pretending to be an ordinary person, advancing by retreating, doing the opposite, hiding his true cultivation so that no one can see through him… This is even more intimidating, making people even more wary! It’s far more clever than simply pretending to be a master.”

Elder William Grant sighed, “Uncle Junior may be only eighteen, but he manipulates people’s hearts with ease. Such shrewdness, such wisdom—we can’t compare!”

“If you say he’s strong, no one believes it; if you say he’s weak, they don’t believe that either. Since that’s the case, it’s better to be mysterious, act as if he has no strength, making people suspicious and wary! The effect is even better than pretending to be a master!”

Everyone suddenly understood. Thinking back on the youth’s actions, the more they thought about it, the more perfect and flawless it seemed.

“Uncle Junior’s disguise has already begun. We can’t hold him back. From today on, we must all be serious and never mention anything about his cultivation!”

Elder William Grant instructed, “Also, keep his whereabouts absolutely secret. Let everyone know there is such a person, but not where he is! The more mysterious, the better!”

“Yes!”

Everyone cupped their fists.

This is true disguise!

Every casual action is full of deeper meaning, astonishing everyone—truly worthy of being Uncle Junior…

We are convinced!

Chapter 5: Hidden Immortal Abode

Biluohai, one of the ten most dangerous places on Qianyuan Continent.

At this moment, spiritual energy was boiling, wild power swept through like a typhoon, and the chaotic forces sliced space into countless fragments—extremely perilous.

However, where there is danger, there are also treasures. Because of this, when the seal outside was recently opened, the sect master of Zhenxian Sect and others risked coming here, and as a result… all perished.

“Jie jie, I, the Great Demon King of Supreme Bliss, have finally escaped!”

Outside the seal, a sharp voice rang out. The air rippled, and suddenly a childlike figure appeared, demonic energy surging all over him, almost becoming tangible.

“He’s over there…”

“Don’t let him escape, or no one on the entire Qianyuan Continent will be spared!”

“Attack together!”

…

With a series of urgent shouts, hundreds of cultivators flew in on their swords, each hovering in the air, magical power surging within, ready to set up an inescapable net.

“A bunch of fools, did you really think an immortal artifact appeared in Biluohai? It was just an illusion I created. If I didn’t lure you here, how could I break the seal?”

The child sneered.

He had been suppressed in Biluohai for who knows how many years. Not long ago, he deliberately damaged the seal and released some aura, making people think there was a peerless treasure here.

As a result, countless experts from Great Yan Prefecture came.

Using the power released as they fought and competed, he broke the seal in one fell swoop!

“My cultivation hasn’t fully recovered, so I’ll spare your lives today. But I’ve remembered each of your faces. Next time we meet, it will be your death!”

With a cold laugh, the child’s body gradually faded.

“He’s escaping, attack quickly!”

An old man shouted.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hundreds of experts attacked at once, countless spells raining down, tearing rifts through the sky.

When the power subsided, all around was emptiness—there was no sign of the demon king, not even a trace of demonic energy.

“He got away…”

Everyone’s faces turned pale at the same time.

“Master, who exactly is this demon king?” After a moment of silence, a young man couldn’t help but ask.

They knew a demon had appeared in Biluohai, but not who it was!

With a grave expression and worry in his eyes, the old man said, “It should be 【极乐童子】George Wright, the super demon king from eight thousand years ago! When he was young, he was poisoned and became a dwarf, never able to grow tall again. For revenge, he bitterly cultivated demonic arts, and after a hundred years, reached the peak of Void Immortal, shaking the world.”

“He once single-handedly wiped out seven top sects in Daqian Prefecture, Dayuan Prefecture, and other places, as well as more than thirty second-rate sects. Experts above the Mortal Realm were slaughtered by the tens of thousands. For the entire continent, he was a true catastrophe.”

“To eliminate him, thirty-eight Void Immortal experts from across the Nine Provinces gathered and chased him for three whole months before finally capturing him here. But no matter what methods they used, they couldn’t kill him. In the end, they had no choice but to seal him here!”

“We thought he had long since been refined away, his soul scattered, but unexpectedly, he’s still alive…”

Everyone was shocked. Many young people turned pale with fright, trembling.

Just what kind of being had escaped?

“He’s a true demon king. Now that he’s escaped, the whole continent may face disaster again!”

“Which direction did he escape to?”

“Northwest.”

“Are there any sects there?”

“It seems… Zhenxian Sect!”
