I am a demon

"You have all checked his body, what do you think?"

The third elder asked his colleagues.

The burly sect master, William Eagle, asked with a frown on his face:

"Are you sure that you recognized the right person? Is this person not just a look alike?"

The second elder, a thin old man, stroked his beard while appearing to be lost in thought.

The fourth elder shook his bald head, took Jeff's hand, and started probing again for the fourth time, as he commented.

"There are no signs of him ever being injured.."

"No dark injuries, no scars…"

"Even if he has eaten a miraculous elixir, can his bones become so smooth and perfectly aligned?"

"There is practically no sign of them being even slightly fractured."

"That is not logical!"

"Every single martial artist has been injured at some point, and no matter how well one heals, there will always be signs of injury."

"Yet for some reason, it looks like this kid has never been injured!"

The third elder shook his head.

"I wouldn't make a mistake about this kind of thing, I am ninety percent sure about his identity."

During this whole time, Jeff just stood there like a statue, unable to move or speak.

When he tried to communicate with these old men, they actually pressed a point on his throat and he could not speak ever since then.

The room was quiet for a while before the second elder spoke.

"Didn't you guys notice?"

"There was no stretch marks or tears in his meridians!"

"Logically speaking, since we are forcefully inserting our various true energies into his body, we should be causing harm to his meridians, and yet every time we insert our true energy into his body, we find that his meridians are good as new!"

Hearing this, the other people in the room came to their senses and had shocked expressions.

"This means that…"

"His body is actively healing even as we speak!"

The second elder finished the sect master's sentence.

After some discussion, the fourth elder rubbed his bald head, looked at the elders in the room and asked with some hesitation:

"Should we unlock his mute point and ask him directly?"

The sect master frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Ok, let us hear what he has to say."

"Even if he has been taken over by a ghost, he can't do anything to us with his little strength."

He said in in a joking manner.

'Ghost?!'

Jacob who was listening at the side, looked towards Jeff with some apprehension.

Although he had never seen a ghost, he had heard stories about them from folklore as a kid, and he still found the idea of them chilling to this day.

In his opinion, this kind of incomprehensible thing should be eradicated as soon as possible.

Unfortunately he was only allowed here to listen on the account that he would be the sect leader one day, he didn't have the right to speak on such important matters yet.

The third elder unlocked Jeff's mute point, and the four elders focused their eyes on Jeff.

"What is your name?"

The sect leader took the lead and asked while using his martial arts aura to exert pressure on Jeff.

Even though he was secretly intimidated, Jeff pretended to be unfazed as he wore a polite smile.

"If I told you my name, you wouldn't be able to understand, heck, I can't even pronounce it using this mortal body."

Such a statement was very shocking to the people in the room, but it only managed to solicit a response from Jacob, who subconsciously took a step back and vaguely hid behind his father.

As for the adults, having lived for such a long time, what kind of fraudsters hadn't they seen?

They simply didn't take his words seriously.

These elders didn't even fully believe that Coby's body had changed owner's, and they were more concerned about the means he used to heal his body.

After a moment of silence, the second elder asked:

"Then how should we refer to you?"

"You can just use the name of this body, call me Coby."

The second elder nodded slightly and decided to humor Jeff for a bit.

"Ok, Mr. Coby, can you tell us who, or what exactly you are?"

"Have you ever heard of extraterrestrial demons?"

The four men looked at Jeff with a hint of mockery in their eyes, and they shook their heads.

"No, never before."

Jeff could tell that these people didn't believe him, but he still bit the bullet and continued to make up a story, after all, it was an indisputable fact that he was not from this world.

"I guess that make sense, after all, we come from a distant and different plane of existence than yours."

"We?"

Asked the sect leader.

"Yes, we, around ten thousand demons should have made it through the space-time crack this time."

The second elder frowned as he thought to himself:

'Is he just adding numbers to make his statement more shocking?'

'But by saying such a thing, is he afraid that we won't be able to prove that he is lying? Such a thing can be debunked by sending out a few disciples to search for these 'extraterrestrial demons'!"

It wasn't just the second elder who thought so, the moment Jeff said so, the credibility of his words was increased by a small percentage in their hearts.

"I know that you guys are more interested in the means I used to heal my injuries, unfortunately for you, this is due to my innate ability as a demon."

"As long as I act in line with my unique demonic nature, not only will all my injuries be healed, but my strength will also steadily increase."

The elders kept silent as If trying to distinguish the truth and lies of his words.

Their skepticism was within Jeff's expectations, so he moved out his trump card.

"I understand how you would not believe me, but I have a two step plan to let you know whether or not I am telling lies."

The sect leader was intrigued.

"Then please guide us."

"For the first step of the plan, there is another extraterrestrial demon in this sect, and he is still injured, a simple demonstration of him acting in line with his unique demonic nature will show the truth of this matter."

The moment he finished speaking, he felt the familiar feeling of warmth in his body.

'Is this brought by the second keyword? Backstabbing?'

Before he could fully explore, he was brought back to reality by an exclamation from the fourth elder.

"There's another demon in the sect?"

The other elders also had looks of surprise, and the authenticity of Jeff's words in their hearts increased by another part.

"What is the second step of the plan?"

"Like I said before, almost ten thousand demons came to this world, as long as you send some of your disciples to go and search for news, you will know whether I am lying or not."

Hearing this, the sect leader nodded in agreement.

"It is indeed a good 2 step plan."

Although the elders already believed some of what Jeff said, they did not fully believe it, and they wouldn't take what he said at face value.

What they believed so far, was the fact that there was a number of beings with some weird abilities who have taken control of some people's bodies.

They still wanted more information, but the sect leader decided to first confirm some of what Jeff had said.

"Then where is this second demon you talked about?"

"The people we possessed share a room, and he is in that room right now."

"If you want a better experiment, it is better you let me lead you there, in this way, you can catch him in action while his guard is down."

Seeing the skepticism in their eyes, Jeff asked:

"You don't suspect that I will run away, do you?"

"I came to you guys on my own initiative, and the third elder was able to easily suppress me, now that they are four of you here, I have absolutely no way of escaping."

"I am very weak right now!"

The sect leader hesitated for a bit, glanced at the third elder, and when he saw him nod, he agreed to set him free.

"Ok, you are now free, lead the way."

"Wait, I need some food first."

Seeing the deepening frown and displeasure in the sect leader's face, Jeff hurriedly explained:

"The food is not for me."

"The unique demonic nature of the demon we are going to is related to gluttony."

"Only by giving him food will you be able to see his demonic powers in action."

After exposing Tony's keyword, Jeff felt another injection of XP in his body, which made him feel very comfortable.

"Jacob, go get a plate of food. You will catch us on the way, Mr. Coby, please lead the way."

Jeff didn't delay any longer, he led the crowd towards the outer sect, the servants' residential area.

Some minutes later, the group of people arrived at the door of the room where Jeff spawned.

He glanced at them and whispered:

"You guys wait outside for a few seconds."

"I will go inside, give him the food, and open the door wide while he is eating…"
