The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Everyone fell silent for a moment, a silence that lasted for about thirty seconds, before they all uttered a single, remarkably intelligent exclamation: "Ah?"

"What...what did you say? Who is the new Demon Mother?"

Rong Xuanji smiled and nodded: "Chi Miao."

The bigwigs: "Huh?"

"Who?"

"Chi Miao".

"what?"

The few lines were repeated several times in such a vivid way. Please note that this scene is not abstract, nor is it a parody, nor is it edited in post-production. It is just like this in real life!

To break the deadlock, Jin Shengfei stepped forward to say something fair: "Everyone, stop repeating yourselves. Let me do it. Chi Miao isn't here, so I'll take her place!"

He patted his chest, looking very proud.

All eyes were on him, so Jin Shengfei stood up, picked up the megaphone that Chi Miao had placed in Cangtian Pavilion, and began to tell the story vividly.

"At that time... the world changed color, the sun and moon spun, and with a loud bang, we were teleported by the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal to the Demon Tribe. In the blink of an eye, we were attacked by demonic energy and almost suffocated to death!"

"And at that moment, the light of heaven parted, and the goddess descended to earth—"

Jin Shengfei used every word he had ever learned in his life to brag about Chi Miao. With his embellishments, Chi Miao was almost deified to an absurd degree.

What's even more outrageous is that everyone believed it.

Everyone listened with great interest.

Ying Wuhuo pondered for a while before quietly asking the person next to him, "Will saying this really work?"

Yu Wuxin was absolutely certain: "It can work! Why wouldn't it? Just look at the trust on their faces, you can tell this publicity campaign was a great success."

Jingming nodded in agreement: "Old people are easy to fool."

Rong Xuanji: "...Monk, isn't that a bit too direct of you to say it?"

Jingming put it more tactfully: "They're getting senile."

Others: "..."

Amitabha Buddha, the way Buddhists speak is different; it feels like the Buddha is about to knock him on the head any second.

But as much as they were having fun and making a fuss, it really proved the saying that "old people" are easy to fool. Jin Shengfei made all sorts of things sound incredibly amazing, but the big shots still believed him without a doubt.

They were still there, gasping in shock, while the entire audience reacted with stunned disbelief.

"As expected of Chi Miao, Chi Miao can create abstract art no matter where she goes."

"Yes, it's one thing to cause so many earth-shattering incidents within the circle, but to be so successful outside of it, even reaching the Demon Mother level, truly shows that appearances can be deceiving!"

"I've known Chi Miao for a long time that she's capable, and now she's really made something of herself. Not only has she risen to the position of Demon Mother in the Demon Clan, but she's also accomplished so many earth-shattering things. She truly deserves to be our top prodigy; she's got real talent!"

"What a pity. If Chi Miao had started cultivating earlier, maybe we could have gone out and bragged that we even held the Demon Mother when she was a child."

The group of people felt a mix of relief, emotion, and tears welling up in their eyes.

How could they not know how much hard work and sacrifice Chi Miao had to make to achieve all of this?

Chi Miao was an orphan who never had parental love growing up, yet he still grew up to be such a respectable and upright person. Back then, he even foolishly recognized Master Puning as his godfather, and now he has grown up to this extent.

They really will be moved to tears.

Master Puning, standing nearby, trembled for quite a while, then he looked...

"No, Master...you're crying?"

Jin Shengfei was taken aback. Master Puning turned around, his voice choked with emotion: "This old monk didn't!"

Jin Shengfei shuffled over to Master Puning and asked, "Didn't you cry?"

Master Puning covered his eyes with a tissue: "Really, there isn't any!"

Jin Shengfei bent down and looked up at Master Puning's expression: "No, Master, your eyes are all red from crying!"

Master Puning couldn't hold back anymore. He was already struggling to hold back his tears, and now that Jin Shengfei was so close to his face and using such a powerful technique, his tear ducts completely broke down, and tears streamed down his face.

"I... I was just thinking to myself, it's all our old folks' fault for being so useless, forcing you kids to grow up so early. How old are you? The oldest is twenty-five or twenty-six, the youngest isn't even twenty yet!"

"I still vividly remember the days you spent training at Jinfo Temple. How... how have you all grown into such upright and capable people? You were all just children, but what child is expected to be so upright and capable at such a young age? In the blink of an eye... you have all become prominent figures in Miaohua Continent. We still need you."

"It's all our fault, the older generation. We couldn't protect Miaohua Continent, we couldn't protect Nine Swords Mountain, and we couldn't protect the Tantric Sect. Chi Miao even called me godfather. I'm so sorry to her! I'm so sorry to all of you!"

Every word Master Puning spoke came from the bottom of his heart. Even someone who had seen through countless truths in the world could not suppress his emotions at this moment.

The older generation is useless, which is why these children have to take on heavy responsibilities at a young age!

Hearing this, the others couldn't help but feel guilty and remorseful.

The human leaders cried, "We're so sorry!"

The demons cried, "What a touching display of affection! If we had known you humans were so sentimental, we wouldn't have eaten you!"

The Tantric disciples also wept, saying, "This holy maiden has truly understood righteousness from a young age!"

The elite group also cried, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay! We'll protect you from now on!"

Only Ying Wuhuo of the Ruthless Path silently typed a question mark.

No, on such a joyous day for family reunion, why are you crying so bitterly?

What a bizarre scene! It's a good thing Chi Miao wasn't there. Would it have been okay if Chi Miao were here?

She had no choice but to take out the photo stone and record it all.

Jin Shengfei wiped away her tears: "If Chi Miao were here, she would definitely feel it was all worth it."

As soon as he said that, everyone calmed down.

"Don't actually call Chi Miao out."

Jin Shengfei, recalling some of her unique physical characteristics, paused, then said, "Could it be such a coincidence? Isn't she currently receiving the inheritance of Tantric Buddhism?"

And if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is about to happen.

A tremendous surge of spiritual energy suddenly appeared here. This surge was so powerful that it was beyond comprehension, and it even gave people a sense of urgency that a great enemy was approaching.

Everyone looked up at the sky, and something even more outrageous happened.

"No, what does this coffin mean?"

"Coffins falling from the sky, is that some new tactic of the Immortal Alliance?"

The members of the Prodigy Group stared silently at the extraordinary frozen coffin, a strange and peculiar feeling stirring within them.

Oh.

Hey bro, you're here.

It's really not surprising at all.
