After getting rid of the annoying guy Fan Wuyin from his mind, Baili Chengfeng looked at Gu Zhu.
"You said that the previous Demon Lord Danqing once attempted to ascend?"
"Hmph," Gu Zhu said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by trying? If Fan Wuyin hadn't suddenly attacked him back then, the Demon Lord would have ascended to the upper realm long ago!"
"Can demonic cultivators ascend?"
Jiang Deng was also attracted by this topic.
As everyone knows, although the cultivation level of demon cultivators improves quickly, they are unable to survive the heavenly tribulation and ascend to become immortals because they have committed too many sins of killing.
Therefore, even if a demon cultivator has a high level of cultivation, he will only suppress his own cultivation and not allow his cultivation to reach the realm of the Venerable. Otherwise, once the heavenly calamity comes, they will die without a burial place.
Most demon cultivators would never attempt to survive the heavenly tribulation unless it was absolutely necessary, but Gu Zhu actually said that the previous Demon Lord almost succeeded in surviving the tribulation and ascending to heaven?
Jiang Deng couldn't help but become curious about this Demon Lord Danqing.
Gu Zhu sneered, "You are really underestimating the Demon Lord. She and Venerable Jiang Deng are known as the two great female demons in the Ten Realms!"
Jiang Deng: “…”
Thank you. She really didn’t know that after her death, she would be hailed as a female devil.
When she was alive in her previous life, she was known as the number one female cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation, and was followed by countless followers wherever she went. How come she became a female devil after her death?
At that time, she spent most of her time in her spiritual palace teaching her disciples and rarely went out, let alone committed numerous murders. No one knew that she would become a female devil in the eyes of everyone.
The key is, what bad thing did she do?
Jiang Deng was speechless and said, "Then you controlled these minions and golems to chase me relentlessly. Was it because my name is Jiang Deng?"
Gu Zhu said unhappily, "What else? Is there anything else about you that deserves my attention?"
Jiang Deng: “…”
No wonder the demon didn't attack her like crazy when she first entered the Soul Locking Tower. The changes started after Ying Ling called her name.
It turned out that it was because her name was Jiang Deng that she offended the evil cultivator.
Seeing Gu Zhu's face full of hatred for him, Jiang Deng couldn't help but ask, "What unforgivable evil did the Venerable Jiang Deng, who has the same name as me, do to make you hate her so much?"
Gu Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "Thousands of years ago, the evil cultivator Jiang Deng, in order to ascend to immortality, extracted the souls of tens of thousands of cultivators on the Ascension Platform to aid her ascension. Being able to do such a heartless thing, isn't she still a female devil?"
"My poor mother was just going to the Ascension Platform to watch the fun, but ended up having her soul extracted by that abominable evil cultivator Jiang Deng. She died for no reason at all!"
Jiang Deng held her forehead with her hand, thinking that she really didn't do this.
She was born with a chaotic body. As long as she cultivated to the Venerable realm, she would be able to ascend safely. There was no need to go to the trouble of extracting the souls of the cultivators and absorbing their power.
In fact, the real cause of death of the tens of thousands of onlookers was that their souls and spiritual power were extracted by the immortal trapping formation set up in advance by the sixth disciple Leng Chaosheng, which led to their death.
The Immortal Trapping Array is a divine-level array that cannot be activated by Leng Chaosheng alone, which is why it killed so many innocent people.
It was because of this formation that she failed to ascend, her strength was drastically reduced, and she was captured by seven disciples, imprisoned in the underground palace, and finally brutally murdered...
Jiang Deng was unable to defend herself, but Baili Chengfeng couldn't help but frown and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Venerable Jiang Deng has always been kind and compassionate. Whenever she sees injustice, she will intervene. I don't believe she would kill tens of thousands of cultivators for her own selfish gain. There must be some misunderstanding."
Gu Zhu sneered, "Even if she was always saving lives and healing the wounded before, she must have been pretending! All the good things she did were to paralyze everyone and attract monks to watch her ascension. Look, didn't she succeed in the end?"
Jiang Deng was so angry that he laughed, "Successful? Did she succeed in ascending? Succeed?"
“…”
Gu Zhu was speechless for a moment, and it took her a long time to find her voice. She defended herself, "That's because she calculated everything except her seven disciples. They would betray their master and ancestors for the sake of justice and kill Jiang Deng on the Tiantai Terrace! History knows it as the Battle of Ascension!"
"Go out and ask around. This matter is known to everyone in the world of immortal cultivation! Anyone who mentions the evil cultivator Jiang Deng is entitled to death. Since your name is Jiang Deng, you should die with that evil cultivator Jiang Deng!"
Jiang Deng was stunned.
She didn't expect that the disciple she raised with her own hands not only betrayed and killed her, but also threw dirty water on her crazily.
Not only did they divide up her soul, they also pushed all the blame onto her, turning her into an evil cultivator and a female devil who was cursed by everyone!
The hatred in his heart was burning fiercely, and Jiang Deng clenched his fists.
No amount of explanation would be of any use now, because looking at Gu Zhu's expression, one could tell that the monks who had been brainwashed by her seven disciples firmly believed that she was a female devil and her seven disciples were messengers of justice.
As for the truth?
She is dead, what the living say is the truth!
"How can a lonely ghost like you discuss the right and wrong of our predecessors?" A hint of displeasure flashed in Baili Chengfeng's eyes. A cluster of silver flames condensed at his fingertips and flew towards Gu Zhu.
The silver flames fell on Gu Zhu and began to burn rapidly in an instant.
"Ah! Don't kill me, I want more..."
Gu Zhu wanted to say something, but the silver flames had already engulfed his entire body. As wisps of green smoke rose, his soul turned to ashes.
Jiang Deng hadn't expected Baili Chengfeng to kill Gu Zhu so suddenly, and was extremely surprised. "You also believe that Venerable Jiang Deng didn't do that?"
Baili Chengfeng nodded, "That Venerable Jiang Deng has always hated evil and would never do such a thing."
Jiang Deng felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. He touched his nose and complained, "You talk as if you know her."
Baili Chengfeng just smiled faintly and did not refute.
A trace of confusion flashed in Jiang Deng's eyes. Could it be that this person really knew her from her previous life?
But why doesn't she remember such a person?
Just as Jiang Deng was racking his brains to search for his past memories, he suddenly heard Baili Chengfeng's voice ringing in his ears, with a hint of annoyance in his tone.
"Jiang Deng... Um, have you ever thought about how we can leave now that Gu Zhu, who controls the golem, is dead?"
Jiang Deng: "Uh..."
She suddenly remembered that as soon as she and Baili Chengfeng entered the golem, Gu Zhu closed all three mouths of the golem. Now it was indeed a problem for them to leave.
"Gu Zhu didn't practice the way of ghosts, and he doesn't have any magic power, so he can control the golem, so he must be using other methods..."
At this point, Jiang Deng's eyes lit up, "Let's look around and see if there's a mechanism here to control the golem!"
