All gathered!
Jiang Deng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly sat down cross-legged on the spot, pondering the eighth rune.
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that this rune was different from the previous seven runes. There was an indescribable awkwardness to it...
While Jiang Deng was deep in thought, the surrounding environment changed again.
It is no longer a snow-capped mountain, but a vast white space, filled with white fog everywhere. There is a bit of mystery in the nothingness, which makes people feel insecure.
"You actually passed these eight levels... In the past eight hundred years, you are the second person to receive the inheritance of Venerable Wei Yan."
A green light flashed, and Danqing appeared in this space. She looked at Jiang Deng with complicated eyes.
Jiang Dengtou didn't even raise his head, and asked subconsciously: "Huh? I'm the second one, then who is the first one?"
"I don't remember."
“…”
Because he felt that the eighth rune was a bit strange, Jiang Deng did not practice it directly. After memorizing it, he stood up and walked towards Danqing. "Why do you follow me wherever I go, like a ghost that won't leave me?"
Danqing said seriously, "I can appear at any level I want."
"Ahem," Jiang Deng coughed lightly, "You just said that the key to the secret realm is merging with me. After the fusion, I can give it any name I want. Does that mean that I will be the master of this Eight Gates Secret Realm from now on?"
Dan Qing nodded and said honestly, "Yes, the key to the secret realm has begun to merge with you. I don't want to accept it but I have no choice. After all, it doesn't matter who I'm guarding the door to."
"Well!"
Jiang Deng thought that since he was the new owner of the Eight Gates Secret Realm, he had to build a good relationship with the Secret Realm Guardian who was in charge of guarding the gate. So he asked warmly, "My name is Jiang Deng. What's your name?"
Danqing showed a pensive expression, and after a while he said: "...I only remember that my name is Danqing."
"What? Danqing!"
Jiang Deng's eyes widened in surprise, and he pointed at Danqing and shouted, "You are the previous Demon Lord!"
"What?"
Danqing tilted his head, looking puzzled.
"The Demon Lord! It's the Demon Lord Danqing, who is known as one of the two great female demons in the world of cultivation, along with my ahem, Venerable Jiang Deng, who has the same name as me!"
"I... don't remember."
Danqing's handsome eyebrows furrowed. "Ever since I regained consciousness, I have been in this secret realm, responsible for guarding it and selecting suitable successors."
Is that so?
Jiang Deng touched his chin and thought to himself.
Judging from Danqing's reaction, her memory might have been erased by Venerable Wei Yan... That's right!
Jiang Deng suddenly remembered what Baili Chengfeng said when he was on the fourth floor of the Soul Locking Tower.
It is said that the soul crystal contains the owner's memories before his death, and Gu Zhu from the third floor also said that the Demon Lord Danqing is on the fourth floor, so that soul crystal is very likely to belong to Danqing himself?
Thinking of this, Jiang Deng quickly took out the soul crystal he had picked up on the fourth floor of the Soul Locking Tower and handed it to Danqing, "Try to fuse it."
Danqing took the soul crystal and when she looked down at it, a hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, as if she felt that this thing was very familiar to her.
Snap!
Danqing squeezed it hard and the soul crystal shattered.
In an instant, the shattered soul crystal turned into countless streams of light and sank into Danqing's head.
Danqing's eyes closed and opened, and his whole demeanor changed drastically!
Although she was a little cold before, she didn't have the domineering attitude that she has now, and her whole body was filled with rich black demonic energy!
When Danqing glanced over, all the hairs on Jiang Deng's body stood up. It could be said that Danqing now looked like a demon lord!
As if unable to bear the numerous memories in such a short time, Danqing tapped his temple with his fingertips, his voice cold but with a hint of majesty, "Where is Guzhu?"
Jiang Deng thought of Gu Zhu, who she and Baili Chengfeng had killed, and coughed awkwardly. "When he found out my name was Jiang Deng, he insisted on killing me. In the end, I had no choice but to take action first. I guess he's already queuing up for soup at Naihe Bridge?"
"Dead?"
A faint smile crossed Danqing's lips. "Rather than being trapped in this dark and secret place, it would be better for him to die. That's a good thing for him."
Gu Zhu is indeed a very loyal subordinate.
It's just a pity...
Perhaps they should have died eight hundred years ago. Instead of living in a daze for so many years, it would have been better for them to die together on the battlefield that day. At least it would have been a relief.
Jiang Deng's mouth twitched. What a guy, he is worthy of being the Demon Lord, he is really cold-hearted. Not only was he not sad when his subordinates died, he even smiled!
No wonder she can become the female devil. Compared with her, her title of female devil seems to be predetermined.
After clearing away the mess in his mind, Jiang Deng remembered the important matter.
It is known that Danqing died eight hundred years ago and Qin Feng disappeared nine hundred years ago. Logically speaking... Danqing should know where Qin Feng went.
So, Jiang Deng hurriedly asked, "By the way, do you know any news about Sword Master Qin Feng?"
"Oh, that most powerful female sword master," Dan Qingyun said calmly, "Just like her good friend, Venerable Jiang Deng, they have both fallen."
"What?!"
Although Jiang Deng had long realized that Qin Feng might no longer be alive, she still couldn't accept this result. She clenched her fists, suppressed her anger and said, "Who killed her?"
Danqing looked at Jiang Deng in surprise. She didn't understand why she was so excited about the death of someone who was not from the same era as her.
Despite this, Dan Qing still answered honestly: "I heard that she accepted the invitation of Jiang Zhi Jian Zun and went to the Wan Jian Ling Yu, and there has been no news since then."
"Ninety-nine years later, the life plates of Qin Fengjianzun and Jiang Zhijianzun shattered simultaneously. News of their deaths spread, but their killer remained unknown."
Jiang Zhi Sword Master? !
Jiang Deng was extremely surprised. There were three people who were named Sword Masters in their previous lives.
Among them was the Sword Master named Jiang Zhi, but he was ranked last, so he was quite inconspicuous. Jiang Deng had not had much contact with him, but he knew that Qin Feng knew him.
They both died together...
Jiang Deng bit her lips. She had always thought that the encounter between Taichu Sword Sect and Jiang Zhi, and the name Jiang Zhi Sword Master, was just a coincidence, so she didn't take it to heart.
I didn't expect that Jiang Zhi Jian Zun was already dead. Then who was the Jiang Zhi who was following Jiang Zhiling now? Could he be the reincarnation of Jiang Zhi Jian Zun?
Jiang Deng's head was in a mess, and even his mind was a little dazed.
All her old friends have passed away like her, their era has passed...
No!
She still has a chance. Her life has just begun! Her future achievements will definitely be higher than her past lives!
Jiang Deng clenched his fists and rekindled his fighting spirit.
"Come to think of it, I'm quite curious, who are you? Why are you interested in these trivial matters?" Danqing's doubtful voice sounded in his ears.
