The top female cultivator in the cultivation world, Jiang Deng, was imprisoned and killed by her seven disciples after rejecting their confessions of love. A thousand years later, she is reborn and...
What does it mean that the banshee directly reveals the identity of the golden beast?
Could it be...
Thinking of the young divine beasts that were being snatched away in various places in the Ten Realms, Jiang Deng immediately became alert. Could it be that this banshee wanted to snatch them too?
Unexpectedly, the banshee returned Jin Shanshan to Jiang Deng and instructed him, "After leaving this hidden peak, hide it well. It's best not to use it unless necessary. Otherwise, not only will you lose it, but it will also easily bring you into trouble."
Didn’t you grab it?
Jiang Deng blinked in surprise. Why not grab it? How could he not grab it?
Gilgamesh is a divine beast. Is it really okay to not give it any of the dignity of a divine beast?
While Jiang Deng was stunned, Jin Shanshan had already returned to Jiang Deng's hand. It rubbed Jiang Deng's fingers aggrievedly, and then quickly climbed back onto the silver hairpin. It was so shocked that it decided not to come down from here as long as the witch was around.
Seeing that the banshee was really willing to return Gilgamesh, Jiang Deng finally let down his guard and took the initiative to say, "My name is Jiang Deng."
The banshee touched her chin and thought, "Hmm... this name sounds familiar. I seem to have heard Qin Feng mention it often. It seems... you are indeed Qin Feng's good friend."
A drop of sweat rolled down Jiang Deng's forehead. The banshee actually knew Qin Feng. By this calculation, the banshee had lived for at least a thousand years. Her cultivation must be very strong. She might even be the strongest person in the Taichu Sword Sect.
"Are you the demon that was transformed from the golden vines just now?"
The demon girl nodded. "Yes, they all call me Zen Zhen. Actually, I prefer the name Qin Feng gave me, Asu."
"Zenzhen?"
Jiang Deng frowned suddenly, "Dodder? Your true form is Dodder?"
Cuscuta australis, also known as Zenzhen, golden vine, and bean king... is a parasitic plant that can only survive by relying on other plants.
In the past, she had seen at most a single dodder clump, but she had never seen anything like this before. The golden vines all over the mountains were actually just one dodder plant!
Ah Tu nodded, "Is there any problem?"
Jiang Deng said in disbelief, "How could a common weed like dodder become a demon?"
"Why not?" Asu looked puzzled.
In her eyes, those divine beasts and high-level spiritual beasts that were born with intelligence were not much nobler than her, and she would never envy them.
Because she knew that she was just an ordinary dodder and could be removed as a weed at any time, she had no time to complain about why God created her as a dodder instead of a powerful spiritual beast?
All she could do was to seize every moment and try her best to strengthen herself. She had been living very hard all along, so she had grown into such a powerful demon cultivator today.
So, does the fact that she is a dodder have anything to do with whether she is a powerful demon cultivator?
"You... don't seem quite like the Dodder I remember."
When saying this, Jiang Deng looked conflicted. The original owner was a lady from a wealthy family. She never left the house all day and spent most of her time reading. The books she had read were all filling her sea of consciousness.
You are the ivy, and I am the dodder...
In the descriptions of literati and poets, Cuscuta has always been portrayed as a weak and delicate plant, which is completely different from the extremely cruel and murderous Ah Tu in front of us.
"Besides, dodders rely on other plants to survive, so why are you depriving them of their power? Look at all the spiritual herbs on this mountain, you've almost drained them dry!"
Ah Tu said as a matter of course: "How do you know that those spiritual herbs are not willing to be eaten by me? I treat them like this, they might even enjoy it!"
Uh...there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that.
Jiang Deng rubbed his temples with a headache, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Do you know any news about Qin Feng?"
Ah Tu shook her head. "A thousand years ago, when Qin Feng left, he only asked me to take good care of the treasure on the top of Cang Peak. As for other matters, I know nothing at all."
"Ever since Qin Feng left, people from the Taichu Sword Sect have repeatedly tried to break into Cangfeng and steal the treasure. I killed and absorbed the treasure of anyone who held the Cangfeng Peak Master's seal, turning it into nutrients for my growth."
As Ah Tu spoke, a thought came to his mind, and the golden dodder behind him carried the Peak Master's seal and presented it to Jiang Deng.
"When I first saw you take out the Peak Master's Seal, I mistakenly thought you were the new Peak Master of Cangfeng, elected by the Taichu Sword Sect. You wanted to order me to hand over the treasure, so I killed you. I apologize."
Jiang Deng took over the Peak Master's seal and couldn't help but admire Qin Feng's wisdom in his heart. Even if someone was lucky enough to pass through the mountain-protecting sword formation and enter Zang Peak, they would not be able to break through the second line of defense of the banshee named Asu.
"Then if Qin Feng doesn't come back, will you stay here?"
Ah Tu said with certainty: "She promised me that she would come back."
Jiang Deng was slightly moved. Even a demon valued his promises so much, while humans were always breaking them. In this regard, those who talked about morality and justice were not even as good as the wild demons...
Just when Jiang Deng was extremely moved, A Tu's voice rang in his ears again.
"Of course, I'm not that pedantic. At most, I'll keep watch over Qin Feng for another hundred years. After a hundred years, my heavenly tribulation will arrive. By then, I will consume the treasure myself, survive the tribulation, and leave. I will definitely not leave the treasure to the Taichu Sword Sect!"
Jiang Deng: "...As expected of you."
It’s indeed something that A-Tu can do with her personality. I’m so touched... Wait!
Jiang Deng asked in surprise, "Heavenly Tribulation? Are you at the Tribulation Realm now?"
Ah Tu nodded, "Is there any problem?"
Jiang Deng was instantly stunned. She had never expected that when she went out for a walk in the middle of the night, she would actually encounter a top-tier being at the Tribulation Realm. Perhaps he was even one of the top 100 strongest beings in the Ten Realms...
No wonder the people of Taichu Sword Sect could only watch Cangfeng fall into ruin and did not dare to elect another Cangfeng Peak Master.
Moreover, among so many people in the Taichu Sword Sect, only Yun Bozhong committed some petty thefts and secretly fleeced the people of Cang Peak. Even so, he did not dare to come to the top of the peak to cause trouble.
Jiang Deng looked at A Tu with a little respect unconsciously in his eyes.
Ah Tu saw through Jiang Deng at a glance, "You came here to look for treasure, right?"
Jiang Deng scratched his head awkwardly, "Haha, you found out."
Ah Tu snorted proudly, "Since you are Qin Feng's good friend, then you are also indirectly my friend. I can share my treasure with you. Follow me!"
As she spoke, Ah Tu waved her sleeves, and all the dodders on the mountain automatically retreated, making way for a path leading to the top of Zang Peak.
Jiang Deng hurried to follow.
After walking half a mile with A Tu, Jiang Deng discovered that the spiritual herbs on the top of the mountain were growing exceptionally lush and tall, with leaves that were as long as a person!
Brushing aside the spiritual grass, the first thing that comes into view is a spring. The spring is only the size of a palm and is filled with pure white spring water. Wisps of spiritual energy linger around it, which shows how profound the power contained in it is.
"This is……"
Jiang Deng exclaimed in surprise: "Hongmeng Spring!"
