Although he was confused about this, Jiang Deng continued to walk deeper into the cave.

Not long after, when Jiang Deng arrived at the end of the cave, he saw Xuan Lao leaning against the wall, with only half of his breath left.

I saw that Xuan Lao had been stabbed in the chest with a sword, and the blood had dried on his clothes and the ground. His blind eyes were cloudy and his face was as pale as paper.

Hearing someone approaching, Mr. Xuan looked a little nervous.

However, after using his spiritual sense to detect the other party's identity, the worry on his face instantly receded like a tide, and his voice was hoarse: "Are you... Jiang Deng?"

"Uh, it's me."

Jiang Deng responded while sighing in his heart.

My goodness, looking at the wound on Mr. Xuan’s chest, it must have been Su Heng who stabbed him with a sword. It turns out that Su Heng really wanted to kill Mr. Xuan. He really didn’t wrong him at all.

"Huh," Hearing Jiang Deng's agreement, Xuan Lao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't waste your energy. I'm already nearing the end of my life, and I was seriously injured by Su Heng's attack this time. No matter how good the elixir is, it can't save my life."

Jiang Deng touched his nose and said, "Did you misunderstand something? I didn't mean to save you."

Xuan Lao: “…”

Having been met with such disapproval from Jiang Deng, Xuan Lao decided not to engage in any more nonsense with Jiang Deng and instead asked, "Where is Su Heng?"

"I killed him."

Jiang Deng didn't hide anything and admitted it directly.

A hint of sadness crossed Xuan Lao's face, then faded away. "...This is better. It prevents him from showing up again and competing with you for the position of leader of the Taichu Sword Sect."

Seeing that Elder Xuan supported him so much, Jiang Deng couldn't help but twitch his lips, "Don't tell me, he stabbed you because you didn't agree to make Su Heng the sect leader."

Xuan Lao nodded, "That's right."

"Well……"

Hearing this, Jiang Deng became even more puzzled. "I don't think our relationship is that good? Why does this sect leader have to be me?"

The gradual loss of vitality made Elder Xuan no longer want to hide the truth, and he spoke frankly, "Because I had calculated that the Savior God would descend in the area where the Jiang Mansion is located. I originally mistakenly believed that Lin Jun was that person, but I never thought that the reincarnation of the God was actually you. The reason why I appointed you as the leader of the Taichu Sword Sect is because only under your leadership can the Taichu Sword Sect prosper forever."

“Hehehe…”

Jiang Deng couldn't help laughing.

This old man Xuan really never does business at a loss.

At first, she thought Lin Jun was the person he was looking for, so she did not hesitate to instigate Lin Jun and asked him to kill her to prove his truth.

Later, he realized that Lin Jun was not the person he was looking for, so he simply abandoned Lin Jun and supported her instead.

She said, why did Master Xuan suddenly repent and let her be the leader?

It seems that he had already calculated that her future was bright, and wanted to put the burden of the Taichu Sword Sect on her to take advantage of her?

It's really a waste of talent for Master Xuan to be a cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation. People like him should go to the mortal world to do business.

Realizing that she had been tricked, Jiang Deng's good mood instantly vanished. When she was unhappy, she wanted to make the person who made her unhappy unhappy as well.

So Jiang Deng asked Xuan Lao a question, "Oh? Did you predict something else?"

Xuan Lao had a bad feeling in his heart. He frowned and asked in confusion, "What?"

Jiang Deng admitted straightforwardly, "Among the people you identified as saviors, I killed not only Murong Feiran, but also Duan Chuan and Fan Wuyin. I even captured Leng Chaosheng and planned to kill him on an auspicious day."

"You, you're crazy!"

Xuan Lao's eyes suddenly widened, his face filled with disbelief. "As the reincarnation of the Lord of Savior, it's one thing for you not to lead the other saviors to save the world, but how could you turn around and kill the saviors? How can you save the world if you do this?"

Jiang Deng shrugged. "Then don't save them. I've always believed that the power of one or a few people alone cannot save the entire Ten Realms. If we want to keep the Ten Realms peaceful, everyone in the Ten Realms must save themselves."

No matter how strong a person is, Jiang Deng does not believe that he can save the entire Ten Realms by himself.

In her opinion, the endings of the Savior God and her companions were not very good, and because of this, everyone's expectations were placed on them.

However, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

A monk's desires are like water in a bucket; once it's full, it overflows. Never satisfied, he's doomed to destruction...

How to rescue?

"...You are clearly making far-fetched arguments!"

Realizing that Jiang Deng was completely different from what he had imagined, Elder Xuan immediately regretted his decision, "No, I must immediately deprive you of your position as Sect Leader. Otherwise, under your leadership, the Taichu Sword Sect will only face destruction!"

After saying this, Master Xuan hurriedly mobilized his spiritual sense to transmit a message to the people of Taichu Sword Sect outside the cave.

Bang!

Jiang Deng raised his hand and struck the already seriously injured Xuan Lao with a palm, knocking him to the ground and making him unable to mobilize his spiritual consciousness.

"Old man, don't you think too highly of yourself? You are not a god and you cannot predict everything."

"However..." Jiang Deng smiled, "The Taichu Sword Sect will become even more glorious under my leadership, but you won't be able to see that day!"

After saying that, Jiang Deng raised his sword without hesitation and easily killed Xuan Lao, who was already on the verge of death.

In order to prevent people from discovering that there was something fishy about the cause of Xuan Lao's death, Jiang Deng decided to go all out and simply released the Qingluan True Flame, burning Xuan Lao to ashes.

After doing all this, Jiang Deng adjusted his expression and then walked out of the cave.

Looking at the people gathered outside the cave, Jiang Deng said with a sad face: "I have good news and bad news to tell you all."

"What's the news?"

"Did something happen to the ancestor..."

"Master Jiang, just say whatever you want. We can handle it!"

…

Everyone stared at Jiang Deng eagerly, waiting for her to announce her two pieces of news.

Jiang Deng coughed lightly, then slowly said, "The bad news is that Elder Xuan was killed. When I entered the cave, I only saw Elder Xuan, barely breathing. Before he died, Elder Xuan confessed that it was Su Heng who tried to kill him. As for Elder Xuan's body... I followed his wishes and cremated him and sent him to heaven."

"The good news is..."

Jiang Deng smiled and said, "According to Elder Xuan's last wish, I will be the new ancestor of the Taichu Sword Sect, and Zhan Ji will replace me as the leader of the Taichu Sword Sect."

Everyone: “…”

It's okay to read the bad news alone, but why does it look so weird when put together with the good news?

Xuan Lao is dead, and even his body is not left behind. So Jiang Deng has to decide what to do...

Although they thought of this, no one dared to refute it. After all, they couldn't beat Jiang Deng, so they could only follow suit and show their support. Maybe they could even get a job.
