It took a while for everyone to react and they all looked at Jiang Deng in the crowd.
"What happened just now? Why did that female ghost let us go so easily?"
Jiang Deng shrugged. "Maybe they thought I was a good person. They didn't want to give me any trouble, so they just let me pass."
"By the way, you were able to come out of the illusion thanks to me! Shouldn't I show some appreciation?"
Everyone: “…”
There's no need to flatter yourself. Wouldn't Jiang Deng feel ashamed of this?
Everyone stopped talking and started talking about other things.
"You say... what we saw in the secret realm is true?" Shi Zihang asked doubtfully.
Ying Ling immediately denied it, "Of course it's fake! How could a man as upright as Venerable Wei Yan kill his wife to prove his truth? It must be a lie made up by a female ghost!"
"That's right," Qin Guang echoed, "The female ghost can create illusions, so naturally she can also make up lies. She must be dissatisfied with the fact that Venerable Wei Yan imprisoned her in the Soul Locking Tower, and she is slandering him like this. It's simply abominable!"
Jiang Deng laughed as he listened.
As expected of a man, he knows how to protect each other. Once something goes wrong, he blames women if there are women, and blames women if there are no women.
Normally, Jiang Deng would be too lazy to argue in such a situation, but at this moment, she suddenly thought of something and decisively interrupted everyone's discussion.
"You sound so certain. Do you have solid evidence to prove that Yao Lanxin framed Wei?"
There was no respect for Venerable Wei Yan in Jiang Deng's words.
This made Ying Ling, who had always admired Venerable Wei Yan, extremely angry. "What more evidence do you need? Isn't this an obvious fact?"
"Okay," Jiang Deng continued with a smile, "Then tell me, what loopholes did you find in the illusion? It's better to be more detailed, so that the evidence is solid."
Upon hearing this, Ying Ling and the others' faces flushed red. Everything in the illusion was indeed the same as the real thing, and they really couldn't find any loopholes for a while.
But Ying Ling refused to admit defeat. He continued stubbornly, "It looks so real, does that mean it's real? It just goes to show how cunning the female ghost is!"
"cough!"
At this time, Baili Chengfeng, who was standing aside as a background, explained, "The illusion created by the female ghost is a kind of magic called backtracking. It can use spiritual power to trace back a single event and then show the scene when it happened."
"That is to say, everything that happened in the illusion was real, and it wasn't just something the ghost girl made up."
Ying Ling's breathing stagnated. He never expected that Ye Shangshi would speak for that witch. No, that's not right. To be precise, he would speak for Jiang Deng.
The Night Envoy is no longer the decisive and ruthless Night Envoy of the past. The current Night Envoy is just Jiang Deng's bootlicker!
Furious, Ying Ling still refused to give up and continued to argue, "Even if the events in the illusion were true, so what? Didn't Venerable Wei Yan continue to work hard to resurrect her?"
Qin Guang also echoed, "Yes, if it weren't for Venerable Wei Yan, that female ghost would still be a foolish country woman. Who knows how many reincarnations she has been through, how could she have had the chance to practice!"
"You guys are really just tough talk!"
Jiang Deng couldn't help but sigh, "I also said I love you. I want to kill you to prove my truth, then imprison your souls, and one day I will definitely resurrect you. How about that?"
“…”Everyone was silent.
Jiang Deng sneered and continued, "Don't you think that what Venerable Wei Yan did was a good thing? Then I will follow his example and pass this blessing on to you. Do you want to?"
"...No, no need." Everyone waved their hands quickly.
"Oh! So you also know this kind of love isn't a good thing? Why were you so confident when it came to someone else before? You don't feel the pain unless the needle of love pricks you yourself?"
"What a pity! No matter how much you stand on the same side as the Wei family, no matter how much you put yourself in Wei Yan's shoes, you are not Wei Yan, and you have no chance of ascending!"
Jiang Deng spoke one sentence after another, leaving everyone speechless.
You should know that there are more than 900 million mortals in the Ten Realms, and those who have the qualifications to cultivate immortals are rare, and it is even more difficult for cultivators to ascend to heaven.
There have been only a handful of cultivators who have ascended to heaven in the past thousand years. Although what Jiang Deng said was harsh, it was indeed the truth.
Realizing that Jiang Deng's ability in bickering was truly terrifying, everyone was afraid that if they continued to speak, they would be retorted by Jiang Deng, so they quickly shut up.
Baili Chengfeng secretly glanced at Jiang Deng. Could it be that Jiang Deng had also experienced something like killing his wife to prove his faith? That was why he felt so deeply about this matter?
Thinking of Lin Jun, who had an emotional entanglement with Jiang Deng, Baili Chengfeng lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Unlike others who were still a little unconvinced, Xia Chenqing was thinking with his head down.
In the matter of the Jiang Mansion in Jizhou, he acted according to the instructions of his ancestor and master, and never thought of letting Lin Jun kill Jiang Deng. Wasn't it too cruel for Jiang Deng when he was still a mortal?
It turned out that he had inadvertently helped the evil.
Xia Chenqing came to Jiang Deng and said in a barely audible voice, "I'm sorry about what happened to Junior Master."
Realizing what Xia Chenqing was apologizing for, Jiang Deng raised an eyebrow and said, "What's the point of just a verbal apology? If you have the ability, show it through action. For example, give me some spirit stones or something."
“…”
Xia Chenqing couldn't help but chuckle. He had underestimated Jiang Deng.
Jiang Deng didn't need any comfort, nor did she need anyone's pity. She would avenge her own grudge. Perhaps it was because she was so special that she could become the first female peak master of the Taichu Sword Sect in a thousand years...
He had a strong premonition that Jiang Deng would become even more dazzling in the future!
Therefore, it is right to establish a good relationship with Jiang Deng as soon as possible while Jiang Deng is not very strong yet!
Realizing this, Xia Chenqing cleared his throat loudly enough for everyone present to hear, "The Yin Qi in our bodies has all disappeared. It seems that it must be because Sister Jiang persuaded the female ghost with all her heart that she didn't bother with us. I, nephew, would like to thank Sister Jiang for this!"
As he spoke, Xia Chenqing took out a hundred high-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to Jiang Deng. "As the eldest senior brother of the Taichu Sword Sect, I have decided to set an example and voluntarily give Sister Jiang a sum of money to buy her life. Although it's not much, only a hundred high-grade spirit stones, I can't say anything to chill Sister Jiang's heart!"
This great nephew is really smart!
Jiang Deng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to take the spirit stones. After counting them, he found that they were indeed one hundred high-grade spirit stones. He put them into his storage bag with satisfaction, "Not bad, the master's nephew is really filial."
Then, Jiang Deng turned around and looked at the people behind him, "Where are yours?"
