Jiang Deng's appearance was completely unexpected to everyone.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke for a long time.

Jiang Deng ignored this and walked straight to the empty seat of the sect leader in the middle and sat down.

"Jiang Deng, when did you come back?" Zhan Ji, who was sitting next to him, asked with shining eyes, "Why didn't you let me know so I could bring someone to greet you in advance?"

Jiang Deng laughed and said, "Haha, I'm planning a surprise attack, right? Otherwise, how would I have known that so many people are dissatisfied with me as the Sect Leader?"

“…Jiang, Jiang Deng!”

Wu Cheng stared at Jiang Deng for a long time before confirming that Jiang Deng's cultivation had broken through to the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm and was even stronger than him. He couldn't help but feel a little insecure. "It's not that we are deliberately looking for trouble. It's just that as the leader of a sect, you act too frivolously and don't consider the future of the sect at all. You actually let the Taichu Sword Sect become the enemy of the entire Ten Realms!"

"What?" Jiang Deng asked, "The entire Ten Realms are coming to attack us? Is that true? How come I didn't know?"

Wu Cheng was furious. "Even if it's not happening now, it will be happening soon after the Demon Subduing Conference is over!"

Jiang Deng waved his hand and said, "Then let's wait until the Demon Subduing Conference is over."

Wu Cheng: "..."

Seeing Wu Cheng defeated, Jiang Roushui immediately followed. He glanced at Jiang Deng with resentment and said dissatisfiedly: "Jiang Deng, if you don't want to be the leader of this Ten Realms' Number One Sword Sect, there will naturally be someone who wants to be the leader!"

Jiang Deng tilted his neck and asked curiously, "Do you want to be one?"

“…This Peak Master is not! This Peak Master does not have it!”

Jiang Roushui was nearly suffocated by Jiang Deng's words. To avoid Jiang Deng throwing mud at him, he had to change the subject: "What happened to my son? Why did his soul lamp go out just because he followed your sister to clean up the Jiang Mansion? As a result, Jiang Zhiling also disappeared... What on earth have you done to this Peak Master's son?"

Zhan Ji quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "How could the Sect Master know about your son's affairs? She's been busy outside the house. How about we talk about this in private? We must find your son's murderer."

"No, Jiang Deng must give this Peak Master an explanation right now!"

Jiang Roushui wiped her tears and complained, "This Peak Master had such a big son. He had extremely rare spiritual roots and was destined to be a child of destiny. He could have become a Sword Master in the future, and anything was possible. And now he suddenly died... How can this Peak Master accept this!"

So it was because of Jiang Zhi's matter?

Although Jiang Deng really wanted to tell Jiang Roushui that Jiang Zhi was not really dead and was more likely to have returned to be the Sword Master, this obviously could not be told to Jiang Roushui, lest he join forces with Jiang Zhi to cause trouble again.

Jiang Deng then let out a pretentious sigh, "Alas, Junior-Martial Nephew Jiang Zhi was killed by the demon cultivators of the Demon Realm. To avenge him, this Sect Master fought his way into the Demon Realm, destroyed the evil Puppet Cult, and even, by some strange coincidence, made friends with the new Lord of the Demon Realm. It's truly hard to put into words!"

Everyone: “…”

Everyone present looked at each other and thought, why does the leader of their Taichu Sword Sect like to worry so much about other people's family affairs?

Why is it that wherever she goes, there is a new domain lord?

The key point is that every time a new domain master comes, she has a very good relationship with him, which makes them unable to find any reason to make trouble!

"How do you explain the incident at the Ten Thousand Demons Gorge?"

Wu Cheng slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "If you hadn't done such evil things that go against us righteous people, our Taichu Sword Sect wouldn't have been implicated and ruined its reputation as the greatest sword sect. Now, let alone keeping that reputation, we might even be liquidated."

Bang!

Zhan Ji slammed the table even harder, cracking it completely. "Everyone, don't forget, our sect's title of Number One Sword Master was earned by our Sect Master at the risk of his life in the Sword Competition! Now you're blaming us for tarnishing this honor. Do you deserve it?"

“But, but…”

Wu Cheng hesitated and couldn't find any words to refute for a while.

Zhan Ji quickly added softly, "Even if the Taichu Sword Sect really can't continue, the worst that can happen is that we can rebuild it with our disciples. As long as the Sect Master is here, our sect will make a comeback sooner or later!"

After a long period of experience as the acting clan leader, Zhan Ji has lost all her former weakness and dullness, and she has mastered the management technique of giving a good reward after a good turn.

Except for Jiang Roushui, who was always dissatisfied with Jiang Deng and was not convinced, the attitudes of the others were obviously more moderate. Even Wu Cheng was thinking about the rationality of what Zhan Ji said.

Seeing this, Jiang Deng couldn't help but take another look at Zhan Ji.

Not bad!

The cultivation of several old guys has never improved much, but Zhan Ji is different. She has already entered the realm of transformation, which is really cause for celebration.

Should we say that he is worthy of being a natural spiritual root?

Once you start practicing, your speed will improve by leaps and bounds. No wonder Zhan Ji has so much say in the Taichu Sword Sect now.

"In that case..."

Wu Cheng reluctantly said to Jiang Deng, "Then let's forget about dismissing you from the position of Sect Leader today. If the Demon King really wants to bring his men to attack the Taichu Sword Sect after the Demon Subduing Conference, don't blame us for having our ancestors expel you from the sect in order to draw a clear line between us and you!"

"snort!"

Jiang Roushui rolled her eyes at Jiang Deng, snorted coldly, and left in a huff.

"Master Jiang, we have some things to do in the peak. We will take our leave now."

Song Bailian and Yan Zhen showed no emotion on their faces. They politely bowed and said goodbye to Jiang Deng, then left.

Looking at the backs of the people leaving, Jiang Deng narrowed his eyes.

For the sake of the stability of the Taichu Sword Sect, it seems these old guys can't stay...

She hadn't forgotten that she had heard them talking about Su Heng when she walked outside the door just now. It was obvious that they were still in contact with Su Heng and wanted him to come back and continue to be the leader of the Taichu Sword Sect.

Since they all want to change the sect leader so much, she might as well give them a chance!

We can make use of this Demon-Subduing Conference...

Thinking of this, Jiang Deng withdrew his thoughts and looked at Zhan Ji, who had not left his side, and asked, "Didn't our Taichu Sword Sect receive an invitation to the Demon Subduing Conference?"

"Well, of course I received it..."

Zhan Ji laughed dryly, her face showing a bit of embarrassment.

Jiang Deng wondered, "Then our Tuxie Spirit Territory is a long way from the Xuantian Demon Territory, why haven't we set off yet?"

"Well," Zhan Ji said, somewhat puzzled, "The Demon King is holding this demon-subduing conference. It's obvious that he wants to use this opportunity to judge our Taichu Sword Sect. If we really go, wouldn't that be courting death?"

Jiang Deng narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Oh, who is looking for death? It's not certain."

Seeing Jiang Deng's confident look, Zhan Ji finally felt relieved and thought, "But even if we want to go to the Demon Realm, it's too late now, right? Domain Lord Si Mian and the others have already set off, and if we take the spirit ship, we won't be able to reach the Demon Realm in three days."
