Seeing Jiang Deng's actions, Shi Chen understood, and she quickly followed suit, pretending to be blind.

"I don't know either. Should we go the right way?"

"I don't think it's right. I must have taken the wrong path!"

Jiang Deng decisively pulled Shi Chen and turned back, complaining, "How many times have I told you? Don't lead the way blindly after you're blind. Look where we've gone? Let's go back quickly."

"Hmmmm."

Shi Chen nodded repeatedly.

Just as the two were about to leave, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"etc!"

Bai Sitang stopped them in time. He walked over and said, "Are you two blind? Why do I refuse to believe you?"

"Alas! My sister and I were born blind and abandoned outside the Dragon Roar Sect. Thanks to the kindness of Sect Leader Niu, we sisters were given something to eat, which is why we are still alive today."

As she spoke, Jiang Deng wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, thinking that it was a good thing she didn't remove the disguise on her face. As long as she used some sweet words, Bai Sitang would not be able to discover her true identity.

"Yeah?"

Bai Sitang had already walked in front of Jiang Deng. He stared at Jiang Deng's earless head and Shi Chen's head with two cat ears, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "But how come one of you sisters is human and the other is a cat demon?"

"Well……"

Jiang Deng's mouth twitched, and he was about to continue to defend himself when Bai Sitang interrupted him.

"You said that Master Niu is kind? That stinky cow is the leader of the demonic cultivators. Does he look like someone who would be kind? And..."

Bai Sitang's eyes flashed dangerously. "You two are living under someone else's roof, barely able to eat a single bite. How can you still have the resources to cultivate to the Spiritual Transformation Realm?"

Jiang Deng: “…”

I haven't seen him for many days. How come this guy named Bai is not so easy to deceive?

"explain!"

Bai Sitang pressed him, "Who the hell are you? Why are you hiding your true identity in front of me? What's your intention?"

When Jiang Deng heard that he was exposed, he simply stopped pretending.

"Since you know that I am a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, how dare you come before me!"

Jiang Deng instantly took the initiative. Her physical cultivation speed far exceeded that of other types of cultivators, so before Bai Sitang could react, she grabbed Bai Sitang.

With his index and middle fingers slightly bent, Jiang Deng pinched Bai Sitang's fragile throat with one hand. He held Bai Sitang hostage in front of him and took him as a hostage.

In just a moment, the situation was reversed.

Bai Sitang: “…”

After being stunned for a moment, he fell into deep speechlessness. He was clearly feeling smug about having caught the tails of the two female cultivators just now, but now he fell into the hands of the other party.

Even though he was also a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, the other party was holding his vital points directly, and his neck was squeezed so hard that it hurt. Let alone resisting, he didn't even dare to speak.

"Master!" Reading

Yin Feng, who was standing by, shouted worriedly, "Let my master go!"

"Okay," Jiang Deng smiled, "pay the ransom first."

"W-what?"

Bai Sitang and Yin Feng were both stunned.

It’s good enough that they promised not to kill to silence the witnesses, so how dare the other party ask for a ransom?

Jiang Deng said as if it was a matter of course, "I'm tired of doing this, okay? The ransom is what I deserve. Hurry up and hand over the money. Hand over the person in return."

“I, I, I…”

Yin Feng hesitated for a while. Although he was stronger than Jiang Deng and Shi Chen, his master was in the hands of the other party, so he had no choice but to bow his head.

"……good!"

After thinking for a moment, Yin Feng gritted his teeth and simply took out his storage bag and handed it to Jiang Deng, "Here you go, all my wealth is here."

Jiang Deng did not reach out to take it, but winked at Shi Chen beside him. Shi Chen immediately understood, reached out to take Yin Feng's storage bag, immersed his spiritual sense into it, and began to check it.

"Hmm... only three thousand high-grade spirit stones, and a few worthless spirit tools and pills."

"So poor."

Jiang Deng sneered, "With just this little bit of stuff, you still want to buy your master's precious life? I think you can only buy a corpse."

As he spoke, Jiang Deng exerted a little force with one hand and was about to break Bai Sitang's neck.

"Wait a minute!"

Yin Feng hurriedly shouted, "This is really all my wealth, but, but the master still has more spirit stones!"

“…”

Upon hearing this, Bai Sitang's face turned extremely dark.

It was already embarrassing enough that he was kidnapped by this strange female cultivator, and now they were searching his personal belongings. It was so embarrassing that he might as well just die.

"Shi Chen, check it out."

"Um."

Shi Chen nodded, reached out and touched the storage bag hanging on Bai Sitang's waist, and immersed his consciousness into it. "One thousand top-grade spirit stones, many high-grade medicinal pills, and... a bead?"

As he spoke, Shi Chen took out a crimson bead from his storage bag and pinched it between his fingertips. A faint shadow of mysterious wind was floating inside the bead.

"Huh? Black Phoenix Spirit?"

Jiang Deng recognized this thing.

The Black Phoenix Spirit is a heavenly treasure that can only be used to summon the souls of the dead. It is really useless to her, but for Bai Sitang...

Jiang Deng gave Bai Sitang a strange look and said speechlessly, "Don't tell me you haven't given up on resurrecting your mother."

Bai Sitang glanced aside and said impatiently, "I resurrected my mother, what does it have to do with you? Wait..."

He realized something.

This was the first time he had met this female cultivator. How could she possibly know that he had been working hard to revive his mother? Unless she was...

Thinking about the astonishing level of greed for money of this female cultivator, Bai Sitang immediately understood.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Deng and said through gritted teeth: "You are... Jiang Deng!"

"Hey, I'm your mother here."

"you!"

Bai Sitang was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes.

Seeing that he was recognized by Bai Sitang, Jiang Deng did not panic. He gave Shi Chen a share of the ransom he had received, which was Yin Feng's storage bag.

She put Bai Sitang's storage bag into her pocket. Seeing that Jiang Deng was even going to collect the Black Phoenix Essence, Bai Sitang became completely anxious.

"stop!"

Bai Sitang ignored Jiang Deng's fingers still pinching his throat and struggled frantically, his voice hoarse, "No! I can't give you the bead. If you insist on taking it, just kill me!"

As he spoke, Bai Sitang's eyes turned red and he cried bitterly, which made him look pitiful for no reason.

"Tsk, everything."

Jiang Deng looked at Bai Sitang with the appearance of her previous life and such an expression, which she felt was very strange, so she simply returned the Xuanfeng Essence to Bai Sitang. There was no use for her to keep it anyway.

Bai Sitang immediately burst into laughter and held his precious beads tightly.

Seeing this, Yin Feng hurriedly said, "The ransom has been paid, so you can finally let the master go now, right?"
