The top female cultivator in the cultivation world, Jiang Deng, was imprisoned and killed by her seven disciples after rejecting their confessions of love. A thousand years later, she is reborn and...
"Back then, Venerable Jiang Deng killed tens of thousands of people to cultivate his evil skills in order to ascend to heaven. Who doesn't know this? How can you, Lord Baili, change this with just a few words?"
"That's right! We're not stupid, how could we not tell the truth?"
"Lord Baili, calm down. Don't ruin your reputation for the sake of that female devil, Venerable Jiang Deng."
"Yes, Lord Baili, you have always been indifferent to worldly matters, so you really shouldn't be involved in such trivial matters."
Everyone started talking one after another, and the more they tried to persuade him, the ugli Chengfeng's face became.
He took a deep breath and said in a firm tone, "In the past, Venerable Jiang Deng was harmed by her seven disciples. She didn't do those things at all. It was all framed by her seven disciples. I guarantee with my status as the Lord of the Ancient Spirit Realm that every word I say is true!"
Baili Chengfeng's words were very powerful. Jiang Deng didn't expect that Chengfeng would trust her so much, and she couldn't help but be moved.
Think about it, unlike most people who regarded her as a monster once they learned her true identity as Venerable Jiang Deng, Chengfeng believed in her from beginning to end.
Even though she never told the truth...
At this moment, those harsh questioning voices in the distance sounded again.
“I never thought that Lord Baili’s fame would be ruined by the female devil, Venerable Jiang Deng.”
"Could it be that there is something going on between these two people?"
“Tsk tsk tsk…”
Baili Chengfeng's cheeks flushed red with anger as he listened to everyone's increasingly outrageous remarks. He explained, "Jiang Deng returned to save the Ten Realms, risking her true identity being exposed. And yet you think of her like this! How despicable!"
"That's right," Danqing glanced coldly at the people opposite him, and then echoed: "If you continue to target Jiang Deng, not only will Jiang Deng quit, we will quit too!"
Si Mian smiled and said, "Are you guys bullying me because I have no one in the Tuxie Spirit Realm?"
…
Danqing and the others are a little different from Baili Chengfeng.
Baili Chengfeng was very confident in Jiang Deng's character in his previous life and it was impossible for him to have done those evil things. Danqing and the others felt that it didn't matter even if Jiang Deng had really done those things. After all, Jiang Deng not only lost the chance to ascend to become an immortal in his previous life, but was also killed by his seven disciples. It was already very miserable and equivalent to being punished.
You can't possibly settle accounts again after rebirth, right?
Moreover, they are just Jiang Deng's friends. Now is a critical moment when the Ten Realms are in chaos. There is really no need to care so much. The most important thing to do now is to hurry up and finish the things here and let the Ten Realms return to peace.
"snort!"
Seeing so many people defending Jiang Deng, Lin Jun couldn't help but feel unhappy. He suppressed his anger and said, "You guys are really willing to say anything to defend Jiang Deng! You're indiscriminately putting all the blame on others. Is this what a gentleman does?"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly remembered that this trusted Human Emperor seemed to be the eldest disciple of Venerable Jiang Deng. He should also be aware of what happened back then, right?
Thinking of this, everyone hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what exactly was the truth back then?"
Lin Jun: “…”
How would he know this? He hadn't integrated his past life memories.
Although he didn't know the truth, Lin Jun maintained a calm expression on his face and said with a confident look, "The truth is naturally what you think it is."
"really!"
With Lin Jun's affirmation, the group of people who had previously slandered Jiang Deng became more emboldened. "Isn't the truth as obvious as lice on a bald head? Do you think that since Venerable Jiang Deng has the support of bigwigs like you, we will treat the wrong as right? You want to whitewash the female devil and let us forgive her? Impossible!"
Jin Dong also found the right opportunity and said, "The artifact should not be in the hands of such a scum who kills innocent people. Venerable Jiang Deng, hand over the artifact immediately!"
"you……"
Baili Chengfeng was so angry that his eyes went dark and he was about to lose his temper.
Jiang Deng tugged at his sleeve, shook his head, and soothed him, "Forget it, there's no need to explain. I'm used to it."
This time she came to the Wasteland to participate in saving the Ten Realms, just to save herself and the people she cherishes. If others don't appreciate her kindness, then so be it. She only does what she thinks is right.
Jiang Deng's gaze shifted from Jin Dong to the mastermind behind the scenes, Lin Yanping. She stared directly at him, her lips curled slightly as she said, "If you want me to hand over my artifacts, that's fine. First, you have to take out two artifacts in exchange. Otherwise, why should I give them to you?"
Lin Yanping suppressed the anger in his eyes and replied, "Isn't it obvious? Everyone doesn't trust you. They think you are unworthy of your position and shouldn't take this artifact."
"oh?"
Jiang Deng chuckled, his tone full of mockery, "I'm not worthy of holding the divine weapon, but do you, a villain pretending to be a god, deserve it?"
"...What nonsense are you talking about! The Lord God is the real Lord God!"
Before Lin Yanping could do anything, Mr. Jin Dong was so angry that he wanted to rush up and fight Jiang Deng to the death.
Jiang Deng smiled faintly and said murderously, "It's well known that the Lord God died to save the world, so why didn't he die?"
"Alright," Lin Yanping interrupted Jiang Deng impatiently, his tone still carrying a hint of grievance, "I know you feel I'm giving you a hard time, but this divine weapon is of vital importance and must not fall into the hands of someone with an evil heart."
"Since Lord Baili keeps saying that it wasn't you who killed those ten thousand cultivators, why don't you produce evidence? Otherwise, how can we believe you?"
Jiang Deng: “…”
Where is she going?
A thousand years have passed, and all traces have long been erased by the seven disciples.
Jiang Deng's silence only made the people on the other side more aggressive. "That's right, without any evidence, who would believe empty words?"
"Venerable Jiang Deng, since you say the real murderer is not you, then quickly produce the evidence!"
…
"I am the evidence!"
Just when Jiang Deng and his group were unable to suppress their anger, a male voice suddenly sounded from a distance.
"The character of Venerable Jiang Deng is beyond doubt, and I dare to come forward to vouch for it."
As he spoke, the crowd automatically parted and a man walked over from a distance. The man looked middle-aged, with gray hair on his temples, looking a little old, but his facial features were strong and tough.
As soon as they saw this person, those who had been slandering Jiang Deng all looked at him with admiration.
This person is none other than Kang Ping, the lord of the Qianmo Wasteland.
Kang Ping didn't even look at Lin Yanping, and walked straight towards Jiang Deng.
When he came in front of Jiang Deng, he knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."
