"Master, it's me!"

Jiang Deng nimbly dodged Murong Feiran's attack, landed on the ground, and bowed.

Damn it, I thought Murong Feiran always saluted her in the past, but today it was her turn to salute Murong Feiran. It really is a matter of time, the master and the apprentice take turns...

"Gu Chen?"

Looking at Jiang Deng, who bore Ye Guchen's appearance, Murong Feiran's eyes were still alert. "Why were you hiding there without making a sound?"

Jiang Deng said seriously, "Master, I saw that you and Palace Master Ying were discussing important matters, so I naturally didn't dare to disturb you."

Hearing this, Murong Feiran's frown gradually relaxed, but his expression remained unruffled. "You caused quite a stir in the Eight Gates Secret Realm a few days ago. I heard you even got the key to the secret realm. Where is the key?"

Jiang Deng: “…”

Wow, this is Zhou Paopi!

Even if your apprentice really picked up a treasure, it would not be appropriate for you as their master to ask for it directly, right?

Regardless of whether or not this would offend Murong Feiran, Jiang Deng would not hand over the key to the secret realm. She lied calmly, "Master, you misunderstood. In fact, the person who got the key to the secret realm is not me."

"What?"

Murong Feiran looked at Jiang Deng with a scrutinizing gaze, unwilling to miss any detail on Jiang Deng's face. "My good disciple, do you know what the consequences are for deceiving me?"

The low voice was chilling, like a wild beast ready to devour anyone at any time.

At the same time, the aura around Murong Feiran became even more terrifying!

Under the pressure of such powerful coercion, even Ying Fuming, whose cultivation had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, could not help but tremble.

Jiang Deng's chaotic body was automatically activated, offsetting most of the pressure, but in order to deal with Murong Feiran, she had to pretend to be unable to bear it.

"Master, I didn't lie. In the secret realm, I had no choice but to admit that he was my three corpse clones. But in fact, his true identity is, is..."

As she spoke, Jiang Deng glanced at Ying Fuming beside her, and it was obvious that she didn't want others to be present and hear what she was going to say next.

Murong Feiran raised the corner of his eye with interest. Humph, he wanted to hear what nonsense his good disciple could come up with!

"Ying Fuming, please step back."

"Yes," Ying Fuming immediately bowed and saluted, "Master, please give me some time. I will gather another thousand wronged souls..."

"No."

Murong Feiran interrupted decisively.

Nine thousand human souls are not much different from ten thousand. It’s just that he killed a few more people with his own hands. Mortals are not easy to find in the world of immortal cultivation, but aren’t there a lot of cultivators?

"Uh... yes."

Although Ying Fuming didn't understand why the leader was so easy to talk to this time, he still bowed and took his leave obediently, but a sense of unease inexplicably welled up in his heart.

Only Jiang Deng and Murong Feiran were left in the courtyard.

The loose purple robe hung on Murong Feiran, revealing most of his fair chest. However, he showed no intention of straightening his clothes. He just said casually, "Explain."

Jiang Deng forced his gaze away from Murong Feiran's pectoral muscles. He didn't rub his eyes, which were about to get stye. Instead, he put on a serious face and said, "Master, to be honest, that man's true identity is the demon cultivator Li Lailai!"

Murong Feiran had a look on his face that said, "You're kidding me!" "I've never heard of a demon cultivator with this name. Do you think I'm so easy to fool?"

Jiang Deng continued to lie calmly, "Master, the reason you haven't heard of him is because he was secretly trained by the Demon Lord just to..."

Murong Feiran curled his lips and smiled, "Hmm? For what? Tell me!"

"In order to..." Jiang Deng suddenly had an idea and said decisively: "In order to find the reincarnation of the master!"

Since I can't think of a good excuse, I might as well just put the blame on her!

She doesn't understand other people's affairs, so how can she understand her own affairs?

Jiang Deng was making up his mind.

Murong Feiran was genuinely shocked by Jiang Deng's words, and was stunned for a moment. "Grandmaster? Are you talking about... my master? Venerable Jiang Deng?"

"good!"

Seeing that Murong Feiran was truly moved, Jiang Deng spoke eloquently, "When the Demon Lord learned that the Grandmaster had been reincarnated, he sent several of his demon cultivators to search various regions, and the one responsible for searching Feiran's spiritual region was the demon cultivator Li Lailai."

"By coincidence, I ran into him in the Eight Gates Secret Realm. To get information, I could only pretend to be friendly with him, describing him as my Three Corpses clone. As for how he later stole the key to the secret realm, I was truly unaware of this."

Murong Feiran didn't care about the subsequent matters concerning the secret realm key. His attention was completely focused on the news of Jiang Deng's reincarnation. He couldn't wait to ask, "Did you find out anything? For example... where is my master's reincarnation?"

Jiang Deng shook his head. "Disciple, I don't know. Li Lai said he didn't find it. However, if the demon cultivators they sent out find anything, they will inform the Demon Lord immediately."

"Oh, what a bullshit Demon Lord, he's just a brat!"

Murong Feiran sneered, "Does he think he'll be the first to find Master's reincarnation? He can dream on! The first person to find Master's reincarnation will definitely be this Sect Leader!"

It would have been fine if he had said this in a bad tone, but it was also full of murderous intent. Looking at Murong Feiran's expression, he seemed to want to go and fight the Demon Lord Fan Wuyin right away.

Jiang Deng shouted in his heart: Don’t be afraid, go quickly!

It would be best if both sides were injured, and then she would get the advantage!

Murong Feiran completely lost his patience when he thought of his mortal enemy, the Demon Lord. He was too lazy to ask about the key to the secret realm anymore. He waved his hand at Jiang Deng and said, "Go down."

"yes."

Jiang Deng breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to leave impatiently.

I didn't expect that I could really handle it...

But she wasn't completely talking nonsense just now. It was mainly because she remembered that in her previous life, the fourth disciple and the fifth disciple who became the Demon Lord had the worst relationship. The two quarreled almost every day and would fight at the slightest disagreement.

Just now, in order to get away with it, she had no choice but to bring out her fifth apprentice. Unexpectedly, it worked!

Murong Feiran's strength is at its peak now. Even if ten of her join forces, they are no match for her. It is better to go back to Wangxian Tower first and then find an opportunity to take action.

"etc."

Just after taking two steps, Murong Feiran's voice sounded behind him again.

Jiang Deng's heart tightened.

No way! What's Murong Feiran up to next?

Although he was very reluctant, the difference in strength between the two men made Jiang Deng stop and turn around to ask, "Master, is there anything else you want?"
