go back?

Jiang Deng curled the corner of his lips slightly. He finally ran away, only a fool would go back!

Just now, she used a move of annihilation to temporarily block the five senses of everyone present, and then she found the perfect opportunity to escape. She immediately put her arms around Jiang Lingyun's waist and fled the yard where Jiang Lingyun was imprisoned at an incredible speed.

Jiang Deng waved without even turning back, "Haha, I'm leaving first. Goodbye, Third Elder!"

Looking at the tiny figure visible in the sky, the Third Elder's eyes flashed with a vicious light, "Hey! Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

Now that Jiang Deng has been found, that mortal is no longer useful.

"Forbidden technique, soul-destroying curse!"

The third elder was rapidly performing hand gestures.

As the third elder chanted his magic spell, a layer of gray mist lingered on Jiang Lingyun's forehead. Under the erosion of the mist, her body softened and she fell into Jiang Deng's arms.

In mid-air.

"Aunt? What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Deng looked at Jiang Lingyun in his arms, who was obviously feeling abnormal, and quickly reached out and placed his hand on Jiang Lingyun's wrist.

She could clearly sense that Jiang Lingyun's pulse had become barely perceptible, and her aura was growing weaker and weaker, as the vitality within her body began to dissipate...

"You actually cast a curse on my aunt a long time ago?"

Jiang Deng gritted his teeth, "As expected of an evil cultivator, such vicious methods! He truly deserves to be killed!"

After saying that, he turned around and struck the Third Elder with another sword.

“…Don’t go.”

Big drops of cold sweat rolled down Jiang Lingyun's forehead. She grabbed Jiang Deng's sleeve and said, "Deng'er, they arrested me just to catch you... Don't let me affect your judgment. Do what you should do."

"Aunt, I won't let you die!"

Jiang Deng originally thought that after experiencing the betrayal of her seven disciples in her previous life, her mood had become cold and hard enough that she would no longer be moved by anyone's life or death.

Unexpectedly, her heart began to beat uncontrollably at this moment.

She doesn't want her aunt to die!

The mother in this life passed away early. At that time, she had not yet recovered her memories of the previous life and was unable to stop it. But this time it was different. She had enough strength and the tragedy could not happen again.

He remembered that when he was in the Eight Gates Secret Realm, he had injected the power of chaos into Chengfeng and saved Chengfeng.

Jiang Deng also tried to infuse a trace of chaotic power into Jiang Lingyun's body.

“Cough cough cough…”

The loss of vitality in Jiang Lingyun's body not only did not slow down, but became even faster. Jiang Deng was so frightened that he dared not act rashly and stopped immediately.

Unexpectedly, while the power of chaos is a tonic for immortal cultivators, it is no different from poison for mortals. Mortals simply cannot withstand the power of chaos, and it will only accelerate the arrival of death, not to mention repairing their bodies...

"Ginger Lantern!"

Jiang Lingyun used all her strength and raised her voice a little, "Stop wasting time! Promise me, or your aunt will die with regret."

Jiang Deng closed his eyes and said, "...Okay."

Seeing that Jiang Deng finally promised her that he would not go back and risk his life for revenge, Jiang Lingyun felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face.

She wanted to say something else, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the vitality in her body completely dissipated and her eyes became empty.

Jiang Deng held Jiang Lingyun's body in his arms in a daze, feeling that something was missing in a corner of his heart.

“Haha, give up!”

The third elder below laughed wildly and said, "This is the unique technique of our Puppet Sect. It is specially used to deal with unruly people. As long as we erase their souls, we can make them into human puppets!"

"Jiang Deng, I advise you to come here immediately. This elder can still give you a chance and make your aunt into a human puppet to accompany you. This is another way of living. Otherwise, if it's too late, she will really die!"

Jiang Deng gritted his teeth, glaring at the Third Elder with red eyes, "...Since being a human puppet is so good, why don't you take it? Go and dream on!"

Without further entanglement with the Third Elder, Jiang Deng took Jiang Lingyun's body and left quickly.

She couldn't believe that her aunt died just like that!

Zhiling, Danqing, Shi Tongling... maybe they have other ways to save my aunt!

"Seal off Lingfeng and capture this person!"

The Third Elder pointed at the fleeing Jiang Deng, his eyes filled with resentment. "She's carrying someone with her. She can't get far. Even if I have to search the entire Lingfeng, I must catch her!"

"yes!"

A group of people responded and immediately started to get busy.

——

Jiang Deng realized that the entire Lingfeng was tightly sealed, and it was impossible to leave without alerting others.

Besides, who said she was planning to leave?

As Jiang Deng returned to his own residence, he also asked Danqing in the Eight Gates World, "Danqing, do you have any way to save my aunt?"

Dan Qing was silent for a moment, "...Jiang Deng, I'm sorry, my strength has not recovered yet. If I were in a state of complete victory, I would still be able to use forbidden techniques to save her."

"I see……"

Jiang Deng forced a smile and stopped pestering Danqing. Instead, he landed at the door of the mansion and said, "Master Tongling, open the door! I'm back!"

The formation was immediately opened from the inside. Jiang Deng stepped into the mansion, and the formation closed again, blocking all outside detection.

"Sister? How is mother?" Jiang Zhiling came forward immediately.

"Zhiling..."

Jiang Deng's eyes dropped. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I couldn't save my aunt."

Looking at Jiang Lingyun in Jiang Deng's arms, Jiang Zhiling immediately understood something.

With tears in her eyes and a smile on her face, she reached out and hugged Jiang Deng, "...Sister, I know you have tried your best."

Taking the person from Jiang Deng's arms, Jiang Zhiling gently stroked Jiang Lingyun's calm face.

"Mother..."

The scenes of living in the Jiang Mansion over the years have been lingering in her mind.

It was because of Jiang Lingyun's existence that she was protected from the storms of the outside world and was able to grow up safely and happily. She was no longer the taciturn person she was in her previous life, but had become a completely different person.

In her heart, Jiang Lingyun is her mother.

"...Since my mother died in this Puppet Cult, there's no need for them to live. Even if I have to destroy my sword bones, I'm going to kill them all!"

Jiang Zhiling stood up and said murderously.

"etc!"

The person who spoke was Shi Tongling. Shi Tongling observed Jiang Lingyun's condition for a moment, stroking his chin and said, "This person is not completely dead yet. What are you doing?"

Jiang Deng looked at Shi Tongling with a last glimmer of hope, "The vitality in my aunt's body has completely dissipated, and her soul has also dissipated with it... Is it possible to save her?"

If it were a monk, there would still be hope.

But my aunt is just a mortal, and her soul is very fragile. Apart from her mortal body, her soul cannot survive anywhere else.

"You have to try it anyway."

Shi Tongling shrugged. "Infuse some vitality into her body. As long as the vitality is strong enough, and then summon her soul back, she will be alive."

"You mean...life?"

Hearing this, Jiang Deng's eyes lit up and a bold idea came into her mind.
