"But, that's true..."

Automatically ignoring Jiang Deng's joke, Shi Chen nodded thoughtfully, "At worst, we can just kill him and leave the Ancient Spirit Realm. From then on, we can hide our identities and won't be found by the people from Wanli Academy."

Although she said this, Shi Chen actually thought that as long as she took the responsibility of killing Xue Hong, Jiang Dengtou would not be implicated...

Thinking of this, Shi Chen directly pulled the smelly socks out of Xue Hong's mouth and said coldly: "Xue Hong, do you have any last words to say?"

"You stinky bitch! This young master's father is——"

Xue Hong always swore, so there was really no need for him to continue living.

Shi Chen put away the terrifyingly powerful Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Talisman. Using this talisman to kill him was simply a waste of talent. He then took out a light purple talisman from his storage bag.

"Sword Transformation Talisman, activate!"

As Shi Chen activated the talisman, a purple light flashed and the talisman turned into a long sword shimmering with purple light.

Bang!

Shi Chen raised his sword and chopped off Xue Hong's head.

A humanoid figure emerged from Xue Hong's corpse. He opened his mouth wide and screamed miserably, but no sound came out because his soul's head also fell down...

When Xue Hong finally realized this, the powerful shock stimulated his soul to dissipate faster, and it disappeared in an instant.

The reason why it was so effective immediately was that the power of Shi Chen's talisman was too strong. It not only killed Xue Hong's body, but also wiped out his soul.

Wiping the blood splattered on her face, Shi Chen's expression seemed to be half laughing and half crying. She had never expected that she could avenge herself so easily...

"Jiang Deng, thank you so much." Shi Chen looked at Jiang Deng gratefully.

If Jiang Deng had not appeared, she would have died together with Xue Hong. It was too not worth it to sacrifice her life for such a bad man like Xue Hong.

"Why are you being so polite? We are friends," Jiang Deng reminded with a smile, "By the way, his father, that old bastard, is still waiting for us outside. Let's go back and give him a surprise."

"……good."

Shi Chen put away the chaotic emotions in his heart and picked up Xue Hong's head that had fallen to the ground.

Since we want to give the master a surprise, it’s better to make it an exciting one!

As for whether the master, who was so old, could bear it, this was not within Shi Chen's consideration.

Of course, it would be better if the master couldn't bear this blow, so he could die at the same time as his beloved son... In this way, the two of them would still have a companion in the underworld. I have to say that she is really a filial and good disciple.

When Jiang Deng carried He Jiu, who had been knocked unconscious by him, and returned to the top of Yaoguang Peak with Shi Chen, Ye Su and Xue Chongwen were still in a standoff.

"Look, old man, do you recognize these things?"

Jiang Deng and Shi Chen dropped what they were holding, He Jiu's body fell heavily to the ground, and Xue Hong's head rolled to the ground under Xue Chongwen's feet.

“…My son!”

Xue Chongwen recognized Xue Hong's head at a glance. He hugged Xue Hong's head and cried, "You were fine a quarter of an hour ago. Who killed you? Is it..."

Thinking of this, Xue Chongwen suddenly raised his head. With bloodshot eyes, he looked at Jiang Deng and the others angrily, "You actually killed my only offspring. I want you dead!"

Jiang Deng crossed his arms and said slowly, "Hey, old man, can you please be reasonable? It was clearly your son who was wrong first. We are just clearing the door for you. It's fine if you don't thank us, but how can you repay kindness with hatred?"

"good."

Shi Chen raised her voice loud enough for everyone present to hear, and echoed, "Back then, Xue Hong and I went out on a mission together. He and the demon cultivators colluded, causing me to be captured by the demon cultivators. I killed Xue Hong today simply to avenge a grudge. Those of you here have been my fellow disciples for many years, and you should trust my character."

“…”

Hearing this, everyone below began to discuss. "Yes, Senior Sister Shi Chen has always been kind to us. Her story is indeed a bit strange. Could it really be Young Master Xue's doing?"

"That must be the case. Xue Hong has always been jealous of Senior Sister Shi Chen. I'm sure he was the one who spread the rumors that were unfavorable to Senior Sister Shi Chen."

"How can you be so disloyal? Even if Master Xue is wrong, he is still the Master's biological son. Of course we have to support the Master!"

"That's right! It was clearly Shi Chen who colluded with outsiders to murder Master Xue. We must seek justice for Master Xue!"

"Brothers, seek justice for the tragic death of Master Xue!"

The people at Yaoguang Peak were all excited for a moment, and the more radical voices drowned out the peaceful voices.

Those who originally supported Shi Chen no longer dared to speak for him when they thought that they would have to make a living under Xue Chongwen's command in the future.

Seeing that they couldn't make themselves understood, Jiang Deng and Shi Chen simply stopped talking.

Anyway, whoever has the stronger fist is right. The worst that can happen is a fight with Xue Chongwen later. I believe these fence-sitters will turn against us faster than anyone else.

Seeing that the situation was developing more and more unfavorable to Jiang Deng, Ye Su, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately jumped out and shouted: "Jiang Deng and Shi Chen are both my friends. If you want to touch them, you have to get past me first!"

"...What? Ginger Lantern?"

When they heard Jiang Deng's name, the faces of the disciples of Yaoguang Peak all changed drastically, and there was unspeakable fear in their expressions when they looked at Jiang Deng.

In the past year or so, Jiang Deng has become really famous in the Ten Realms.

Let’s not talk about the fact that she became the leader of the Taichu Sword Sect despite her low strength, won the sword competition and was appreciated by the Sword Master, and was successively robbed by the Human Emperor and the Demon Master. After all, these things only show that she is powerful enough.

But she recently became famous in the Ten Realms for releasing the monsters from the Ten Thousand Demons Gorge. Now people use the story of Jiang Deng releasing monsters to scare disobedient children, which shows how bad Jiang Deng's reputation is.

"Senior Sister Shi Chen, you actually made friends with such a villain. It seems that Senior Sister Shi Chen has changed!"

"Indeed, we still don't know how the Demon King will deal with Jiang Deng at the Demon Subduing Conference, but Senior Sister Shi Chen chose to befriend Jiang Deng at this time. It's clear that she is trying to implicate Qixing Villa and Wanli Academy!"

"Senior Sister Shi Chen is actually on good terms with Jiang Deng, the man who released the monster. It seems that Senior Sister Shi Chen is indeed a spy for the demon cultivator!"

…

The disciples of Yaoguang Peak began to question Shi Chen.

However, no matter how much they questioned it, they didn't dare to take the initiative to attack Jiang Deng and Shi Chen. It can be seen that Jiang Deng's name is really too terrifying...

After all, Jiang Deng can even release the monsters from Wanmo Gorge, which shows that she is even more terrifying than the monsters!

Seeing that no one else was going up, Xue Chongwen simply went up himself.

He solemnly placed Xue Hong's head on the ground, then stepped into the air and came to face Jiang Deng and Shi Chen, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Today, I will kill both of you to commemorate my son!"
