Phoenix Feather gave Nie Li a penetrating gaze.

She was somewhat puzzled. Since the sect master was perennially in sealed-up cultivation, even figures at the elder rank seldom met her. Furthermore, the sect master would conceal her figure whenever she appeared.

Only her closest aides had seen her in person.

Outsiders always believed the sect master to be male but that was far from the truth. However, this matter was unknown by many elders in the Demon God’s Sect, including Xu Hu and Xu Long.

How did Nie Li know?

Anyone that had seen the sect master in person was her bosom confidant.

Could it be…

Phoenix Feather felt perplexed. Could her sect master and Nie Li have some secret relationship?

“Sect Master Nie, how did you guess that our sect master is female without seeing her?” asked Phoenix Feather with a smile.

“I’m an old flame with your sect master,” said Nie Li with a grin. “Not only am I aware that your sect master is female, I also know many secrets about her.”

“Hahaha, Sect Master Nie, you must be joking. But you have piqued my interest. Tell me more about what you know,” said Phoenix Feather nonchalantly.

“Haha, there’s tons I know,” said Nie Li with a grin. “For example, your sect master enjoys the pastry made by you. She would often praise you for being most caring.”

Upon hearing Nie Li’s words, Phoenix Feather furrowed her brows slightly. Why did the sect master tell such a private and intimate matter to Nie Li?

“Don’t tell me you are capable of reading minds?” Phoenix Feather shuddered slightly as she stared intently at Nie Li.

“Haha, Elder Phoenix Feather, that’s funny. If I really could read minds, how can you not sense it at all considering your cultivation level?” laughed Nie Li loudly. “Not only do I know things you are aware of, I also know things you aren’t aware of.”

“What are they?” Phoenix Feather frowned slightly.

“Elder Phoenix Feather, shall we speak in private?” Nie Li looked at Xu Hu and Xu Long as he asked hesitantly.

Phoenix Feather clearly had a hesitant look.

Xu Hu and Xu Long hurriedly looked at Phoenix Feather and said, “Elder Phoenix Feather, don’t fall for this guy’s words. He’s cunning and scheming.”

“Elder Phoenix Feather, I’ll leave it to you to decide,” said Nie Li with a light smile as he headed outside.

Phoenix Feather waved her hand and said, “I’m well aware. There’s no need for you to speak further.”

Phoenix Feather flew across the sky and landed beside Nie Li. With a wave of her right hand, a mark gradually enveloped them within. She glanced at Nie Li and said, “Speak. This is a sound isolation array.”

“Do not be alarmed by what I have to say,” said Nie Li as he looked at her with a deep, meaningful look.

“Alarmed? What’s there to be alarmed about? Don’t keep me guessing and cut to the chase.” Phoenix Feather frowned as she had a hunch that what Nie Li wanted to talk about had to do with the sect master. Furthermore, it was something by no means insignificant. Her curiosity had been greatly piqued.

“In fact, I’m your sect master’s Dao partner,” said Nie Li as he deliberately looked at her with a deep, meaningful look.

“How is that possible? You must be lying. How dare you insult our sect master? I’ll kill you!” A sharp sword suddenly appeared in Phoenix Feather’s hand as she held it by Nie Li’s neck. She was extremely peeved.

Nie Li only looked at her calmly and said, “Elder Phoenix Feather, why don’t you hear what I have to say in full?”

“I do want to hear what nonsense you can spout!” Phoenix Feather snorted coldly. The sect master was pure and reigned supreme among the demons. How could it be possible for her to fool around with a human?

Nie Li had determined that Phoenix Feather would not kill him. As for the Demon God’s Sect’s sect master, Mu Yue, he did not mind tarnishing her reputation. For that, Nie Li would definitely not go easy on her.

In his previous life, the Demon God’s Sect had killed countless disciples from the orthodox sects. In the final battle with Sage Emperor, Nie Li might have defeated him if not for the Demon God’s Sect’s hindrance.

The six Deity ranked beasts subordinated to Sage Emperor were Mu Yue’s ancestors! If not for them surrounding him in battle, Nie Li would not have ended up so tragically.

Unfortunately, they were only pawns of Sage Emperor, a bunch of people used by him. They were unaware of the truth even at death’s doorstep. Sage Emperor wanted to refine the Draconic Ruins Realm. With the Draconic Ruins Realm gone, there was nowhere for the demons to exist!

The demons were always the most loyal followers of Sage Emperor. To kill Sage Emperor, the demons had to be eradicated. Nie Li was bent on that happening!

“Elder Phoenix Feather, are you aware of a dragon pattern seal the size of a thumb on Mu Yue’s wrist?” asked Nie Li with a slight smile.

“What does that prove? Even if you have seen the dragon pattern seal on her wrist, that does not prove that you are her Dao partner!” Phoenix Feather said with a snort.

“Elder Phoenix Feather, you are one of the closest people to Mu Yue. You naturally know that the dragon pattern seal I mentioned is not the only one. She has six of them all over her body. Two of them are at her legs, one at her shoulder blade, and the remaining two are…” Nie Li appeared as though he had more to say.

In the fateful battle with Mu Yue in his past life, Mu Yue had activated the dragon pattern seals while her life was on the line. They were so blinding that Nie Li could see the locations of the dragon pattern seals through her clothes!

Mu Yue would not activate the dragon pattern seals under ordinary circumstances. Therefore, the average person would not know where the dragon pattern seals were on Mu Yue!

“Enough.” Phoenix Feather waved her hand to cut him off. She was feeling extremely stifled by the shocking truth.

As the closest person to the Demon God’s Sect sect master, Mu Yue, she had helped her bathe before. She naturally knew where the six dragon pattern seals were. Nie Li was right!

The thought of a terrifying fact filled her head.

Could the sect master really have hooked up with the human in front of her? Demons and humans could not marry. If the sect master had really done such a thing, what sort of shocks would it send to the demons?

“Elder Phoenix Feather, you appear to have some doubts. In fact, there’s no need to be worried. You will understand as long as I give you a full explanation. Actually, I’m a demon!” Nie Li said in all sincerity and seriousness.

“You are a demon? That’s impossible. You clearly have a body of a human!” Phoenix Feather frowned as she sized Nie Li up with a suspicious gaze.

“Elder Phoenix Feather, you might not be aware of a mystic art among demons. It’s called Sky Theft Sun Changing!” said Nie Li in a seemingly earnest manner. “It can possess souls. I used the mystic art and possessed a human. In fact, my true body is that of a demon.”

“The reason why I used the Sky Theft Sun Changing is to accomplish a very ambitious project!” Nie Li said with a smile suffusing the corner of his lips.

“So that’s the case.” Phoenix Feather felt enlightened.

If Nie Li was truly a demon, his possession of a human’s body explained everything.

Only two or three people in the Demon God’s Sect knew about the spots of the dragon pattern seals on her sect master’s body. Since Nie Li knew of it, he had to be extremely intimate with her.

There had to be a reason for Nie Li to be such a well-kept secret. Perhaps, he was planted by the sect master for some special plan.
