"Hmph, if you don't let go, then don't let go."

Although the little girl was hanging upside down, she remained calm and folded her arms, demanding with all her might, "Do you know that anyone who trespasses into my Lighting Sect will be killed without mercy?"

"Kill you!"

Jiang Deng bent his finger and tapped the little girl on the forehead, making a crisp sound.

The little girl immediately covered her forehead with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes as she said, "You adults, bullying a child is too unfair! If you dare, let's fight one-on-one, but... I want to fight the kid next to you!"

At this time, Shi Tongling had also dealt with all the flying bats, and everyone's eyes followed the little girl's gaze and fell on Chongguang.

Jiang Deng couldn't help but laugh, "Are you serious?"

"Of course!"

The little girl said with certainty.

She just didn't believe that she couldn't beat these adults, let alone a child!

What's more, she is very confident in her own strength. A cultivator like her who has entered the late stage of Qi Refining at such a young age can be considered a genius.

It doesn't make sense that two geniuses would suddenly emerge from this small place, right?

"Then Guangguang, you should practice fighting with her. Be careful not to kill anyone." While Jiang Deng dropped the little girl, he did not forget to remind Chongguang.

"Okay, Master," Chongguang nodded, "Guangguang will know what to do."

After a while, the little girl covered her arm that was scratched by the sword energy and returned to her original place dejectedly, with her little hands and feet curled up together, looking so pitiful.

She was very discouraged. How could she not beat those adults and even a child about her age?

"Tell me the truth, who are you from the Diandeng Sect here?" Shi Tongling walked over and asked.

The little girl stiffened her neck and said stubbornly, "Why should I tell you? Even if you kill me, I won't betray my sect!"

"Because I am also a member of the Lamp Lighting Sect."

As he spoke, Shi Tongling took out his token from the Lighting Sect. On the pitch-black token were written five large characters: Light Bearer No. 8.

"The Lantern Bearer? You are the Lord Lantern Bearer!"

The little girl was startled, then hugged Shi Tongling's thigh and burst into tears, "Wuwuwu... Master Lantern Bearer, why did you come just now? They, they are all dead!"

With Shi Tongling's token, the little girl finally told the truth.

The little girl was an orphan without a surname. She was raised by the Lighting Sect and everyone called her Qimei.

Because Qi Mei had lived in the Demon Realm since she was a child, she knew everything about the Demon Realm. So with Qi Mei's explanation, Jiang Deng and the others also understood the general division of power in the Huntian Demon Realm.

First of all, the ruler of the Demon Realm is undoubtedly the Demon Lord Fan Wuyin, who lives in the Demon Cave where the demonic energy is the most concentrated.

Secondly, the rest of the Demon Realm was divided into three parts, with three major sects in charge of these three areas respectively, namely the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Dragon Roar Sect, and the Puppet Sect.

Every sect will enshrine a golem to develop its own followers.

The Lighting Sect is located in the area controlled by the Puppet Cult. The Puppet Cult believes in the Puppet Demon and will force the monks in the area under its jurisdiction to join the Puppet Cult. If they refuse to join, they will be made into puppets for manipulation.

Last year, the Diandeng Sect was attacked by the Puppet Cult. All the disciples who surrendered did so, while those who did not were turned into puppets.

As for why Qi Mei was able to survive?

Her strength was so low that she didn't even need to be a puppet, so she escaped this disaster...

After listening to Qi Mei's story, Jiang Deng touched his chin.

Tsk, I didn’t expect the competition among these evil cultivators to be so fierce.

I used to think that only righteous people would call for the destruction of evil cultivators, but I never expected that evil cultivators would be truly ruthless when dealing with evil cultivators...

"Boss, what should we do next?"

Shi Tongling asked Jiang Deng, waiting for her decision.

Jiang Deng's eyes rolled, "Since the Puppet Cult is so powerful, then of course we choose to join!"

"Um?"

Hearing this, everyone was a little confused.

Since the Puppet Cult is so powerful, shouldn't we avoid it? Why are we doing the opposite?

Jiang Deng poked Qi Mei and said, "Kid, do you know where the Puppet Cult is?"

Qi Mei nodded. "I know, but why are you asking? You don't really want to go to their house, do you? Do you know that without the introduction of an important figure, outsiders who want to join the Puppet Cult have to go through a very strict assessment?"

"Oh, that's easy, because I'm that big shot!"

Jiang Deng remembered the storage bag he picked up from Patriarch Xiahou. Inside it was a guest token of the Puppet Cult, which could come in handy.

Qi Mei: “…”

Do adults’ brains not work very well?

With Qi Mei leading the way, the following things will be much easier.

Considering that apart from her, no one else had many enemies with others, Jiang Deng put on a concealment cloak and a ghost mask, slightly changed her appearance, and then led a group of people to the Puppet Cult in a swagger.

She did not disguise herself as Ancestor Xiahou. After all, Ancestor Xiahou himself was already dead, and the guest token only had the word "Xiahou" written on it. Obviously, Ancestor Xiahou had also concealed his identity when he joined the Puppet Cult.

Soon, everyone arrived at the Puppet Cult.

From a distance, I could see an ancient city standing in front of me. On the top of the city wall were written three big characters "Puppet Cult". Even the buildings in the city exuded a bit of demonic aura, making it worthy of being the base camp of demonic cultivators.

"stop!"

Jiang Deng had just led his men to the city gate when they were stopped by two Jindan-level cultivators who were guarding the city. "What are you doing here?"
