Everyone: “…”

The crowd was silent for a moment, until Bai Sitang raised his question, and then everyone came to their senses.

"How dare you! You little thief, how dare you attack our Majesty!"

Cen Zhu and other soldiers hurried forward and pointed their weapons at Bai Sitang, as if they wanted to kill him on the spot.

Jiang Deng, who was in the crowd, held his forehead in his hands and fell into deep speechlessness.

It would be fine if Bai Sitang was capable of doing such a dirty thing as a sneak attack, but he actually failed in the attack. It was so embarrassing. She really didn't want to admit that she knew Bai Sitang.

If it weren't for the fact that there was some blood relationship between the two of them, and she would have brought bad karma upon herself by killing Bai Sitang without authorization, she would have done it long ago. Otherwise, letting this thing continue to live would simply ruin her reputation.

Gao Zhou and others on the side also turned their eyes away, unable to bear to watch any longer.

They strongly support their master's sneak attack to steal the artifact, but... if they fail, then forget it, it's more important for them to protect themselves.

Song Shu was even more disappointed. They had finally reached a cooperation agreement with the Lord of the Red Moon Yin Territory and asked her to go to the Wilderness Territory with them to resist the extraterritorial demons, but... Bai Sitang actually did this?

Isn’t he afraid that Ran Hongyue will blame them and regret it?

"Huh? What happened?"

Not until the dust settled did Ran Hongyue seem to wake up from a dream and slowly come back to his senses.

I saw a fist-sized hammer appear on her chest, and it was red all over. It was the Zhuyong Hammer, one of the ten divine weapons. It was the protective shield it had activated just now to protect its master.

"well!"

Looking at Bai Sitang's miserable appearance, Ran Hongyue immediately understood what had happened. She looked at Bai Sitang with pity and sighed.

"Child, are you stupid? Not only am I a top cultivator at the peak of the Tribulation Realm, I also have a divine weapon to protect me. You, a cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm, want to kill me with a spiritual weapon made by a cultivator at the Tribulation Realm? Isn't that too unrealistic?"

“You, you…”

Bai Sitang was so angry that he vomited blood. He wanted to say something else, but he felt that the soul in his sea of ​​consciousness was being uncontrollably pulled out of his body.

In just a moment, Bai Sitang's eyes gradually became dull. Is he... dead?

Ran Hongyue was shocked and said, "This isn't a scam, is it? I was just defending myself, I didn't kill anyone."

Everyone: “…”

Although they were speechless, they really didn't understand.

Clearly, Ran Hongyue hadn't attempted to kill him; Bai Sitang was merely deflected by the protective shield created by the divine artifact's master. How could he have died? Was he simply too fragile?

No one noticed that a golden light emerged from the fragments of Bai Sitang's necklace that fell to the ground. The golden light flew towards the crowd at an extremely fast speed and directly penetrated into Jiang Deng's sea of ​​consciousness!

“Hmm…”

Jiang Deng couldn't help but cry out in pain, followed by excitement.

Her sixth soul finally returned!

The sixth soul was indeed in Bai Sitang's possession. If she had known that the necklace was the key to obtaining the soul, she would have grabbed it directly...

Oh, no, if I try to rob him, and Bai Sitang really dies, won’t it be his fault?

Hmm...it seems that Bai Sitang himself doesn't know that this necklace is related to his death. If she tricked the necklace into her and made Bai Sitang give it to her willingly, then Bai Sitang should be considered committing suicide.

But there was no point thinking about this now. The golden light transformed from the sixth soul was obviously very excited. It actually directly crashed into Jiang Deng's consciousness and began to merge with the soul impatiently.

Jiang Deng didn't care what people outside thought of her. She immediately sat cross-legged on the ground. While circulating the power of chaos, she also did not forget to mobilize all her spiritual consciousness to refine the sixth soul.

Although the energy contained in this primordial spirit is not as much as that of the fifth and sixth disciples, it is still quite a lot. The spiritual power of the second disciple and Bai Sitang has been integrated into it, which is considered a considerable amount of energy.

With the experience from previous times, Jiang Deng merged the sixth soul very quickly this time. Because her spiritual consciousness was already strong enough, she did not increase the strength of her spiritual consciousness, but instead used all her energy to improve her cultivation.

The transition from the Return to Void Realm to the He Dao Realm might be a gap that other cultivators would never be able to cross in their lifetime, but for Jiang Deng?

It was easily achieved by just fusing a soul.

At this time, Jiang Deng was no longer a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm, but a genuine cultivator in the Hedao Realm!

Because Jiang Deng only wanted to quickly merge his primordial spirits and did not think about developing the ability to surpass the domain power mastered by the Mahayana realm, the fusion was very fast this time and only took a quarter of an hour.

Without immediately coming out of his meditation state, Jiang Deng's soul sank into his own Eight Gates World.

After absorbing the sixth soul, Jiang Deng's strength increased, and the Eight Gates World also underwent significant changes.

Another crack in the sky has healed, bringing the total to six. Only one crack remains that has not yet healed. Now, the loss of spiritual energy in the Eight Gates World is almost imperceptible.

In addition, Jiang Deng felt that the rules of heaven in the Eight Gates World had become perfect. Once she got the last soul, which was the one in Lin Jun's hand, she would be able to completely repair the Eight Gates World!

By then, the small world of Bamen World will become a real big world!

"Jiang Deng, what on earth did you do? Why do I feel that the spiritual energy here has suddenly become much richer? Even the laws of heaven have become more perfect?"

The little black dragon Jiuxuan flew over and asked in confusion.

Jiang Deng chuckled, "Don't worry, soon, the Eight Gates World will undergo even greater changes. That's when it will truly shock you."

"Keeping it a secret again..."

Jiuxuan curled his lips and said unhappily.

"Okay, enough talking, I have to hurry up and get down to business."

Jiang Deng said goodbye to Jiuxuan, and then his soul returned to his body. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a strong white light flashed in his eyes. This was obviously the manifestation of the power of chaos turning into substance.

Haha, she finally completed the fusion of the sixth soul!

Jiang Deng clenched his fists, feeling full of strength in his body, and a smile appeared on his face more often.

Then……

Jiang Deng looked up and found that a group of people had surrounded her, staring at her without blinking, as if they were observing her.

“…”

Jiang Deng suddenly came to his senses from his excitement and laughed dryly, "What are you all looking at me for?"

"What do you think?" Chi Lian stroked his chin, wondering, "You just started meditating without saying a word. We've been waiting here for you for a full quarter of an hour. Did you suddenly have an epiphany?"

"No, more importantly, what's going on with that golden light?"

Ran Hongyue was even harder to fool. She narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Jiang Deng, "I seem to sense a familiar aura from it. It seems to be the aura of my mentor, Venerable Jiang Deng."
