“Yes, yes…”
Feng Jiuyou glanced at Ying Ziru and hesitated.
Jiang Deng moved his foot to Ying Ziru's chest again, "Come on, it's your turn to speak."
"I, I, I...what should I say?" Ying Ziru also hesitated.
Looking at the two of them, what was there that Jiang Deng didn't understand?
It seems that she not only knows that person, but is also very familiar with him, and may even have a grudge against her, otherwise the two of them would not be afraid of angering her by saying each other's names.
After coming out of the secret realm, except for Leng Baige who was captured by the sixth disciple, the rest of the Taichu Sword Sect followed Xia Chenqing back to Taichu Sword Sect. It couldn't be those people.
The only person who had time to stir up trouble in the Fenglan Empire was probably the one who hadn't entered the secret realm with them...
"Is it Lin Jun?"
Jiang Deng narrowed his eyes slightly, and although it was a question, his tone was full of certainty.
Feng Jiuyou and Ying Ziru looked at each other and communicated frantically with their spiritual consciousness.
Ying Ziru: How did Jiang Deng guess it?
Feng Jiuyou: How should I know? I didn't say anything!
Ying Ziru: It must be revealed in your timid and worried eyes!
Feng Jiuyou: I said it was your shiny forehead that revealed it!
“…”
Jiang Deng was too lazy to listen to the two people's nonsense and directly handed the person over to Jiang Zhiling and Feng Qing for care.
Although Feng Jiuyou and Ying Ziru were both at the Jindan realm, which was higher than Jiang Zhiling and Feng Qing, they were both seriously injured and their spiritual energy was completely depleted, so there was no need to worry about them running away.
Standing up, Jiang Deng looked at the battlefield ahead.
At this point, the situation has become clear.
After losing the magical amplification of Feng Jiuyou and Ying Ziru, the city defenders were defeated without any surprise and were besieged by Cui Ning's 100,000-strong army.
Cui Ning ordered the soldiers to surrender without killing them, so the soldiers defending the city put down their weapons and surrendered.
Because the battle ended so quickly and unexpectedly, there were not many casualties on both sides, less than three hundred people in total.
Jiang Deng pondered for a moment, then took out the soul-collecting bottle he had robbed from Liu He from his storage bag.
As the power of chaos was injected into it, the soul-collecting bottle lit up with a dazzling white light, as if generating a powerful suction force, collecting all the wronged souls with strong resentment on the battlefield into the bottle.
The reason why Jiang Deng collected the souls of the fallen soldiers was not to use them to practice evil skills like the Palace Master of the Paradise Palace.
It is useless to keep these wronged souls here. Instead, they will cause harm to the surrounding people. Let's collect them first and see if there is a chance to dissolve the resentment of these wronged souls and let them reincarnate.
After sealing the lid, Jiang Deng also reinforced the seal at the mouth of the bottle to prevent the wronged soul from escaping again.
"Thank you, Master Jiang, for your help!"
Jiang Deng had just put away the Soul-Gathering Bottle when Cui Ning approached from a distance, his face filled with joy. "If it weren't for the Immortal Master, we wouldn't have been able to capture the city in three days, capture all the defenders, and keep our casualties to a minimum."
Cui Ning's words were more respectful than ever before.
Besides the fact that Jiang Deng did help them, the skill that Jiang Deng had revealed before also completely shocked him. Cui Ning wanted to worship Jiang Deng as a god.
He even discussed the next move with Jiang Deng in detail, "Master, now that the city gates are open, should we march our entire army into the city, seize the opportunity to seize the palace, force the old emperor to abdicate, and install another wise ruler?"
Jiang Deng shook his head and said, "No hurry, let's go in and explore the way first, and then you can go in after we're done."
"This..." Cui Ning was stunned. "The defenders have surrendered, and the two cultivators have been captured. What danger is there?"
Jiang Deng pointed at Feng Jiuyou and Ying Ziru lying on the ground, "These are just two people. The other person in the palace is not as easy to deal with as them."
"Is he very strong?"
"Not really. His strength is about the same as mine. It's just that we normal cultivators usually don't kill mortals, but he is different."
Upon hearing this, Cui Ning's face froze.
What does Master Jiang mean by this? Could it be that the immortal cultivator could just kill them directly?
"Didn't you say that immortal cultivators can't slaughter mortals?"
Cui Ning's tone revealed a hint of fear. If that immortal cultivator was as powerful as Master Jiang, wouldn't he be able to kill their 100,000-strong army directly?
Under Cui Ning's gaze, Jiang Deng nodded and replied, "That's true, but he has a rebellious nature. The more he's told not to do something, the more he'll do it. If you act like you're not going to kill me, I'm afraid he'll actually kill you."
Cui Ning couldn't help but complain inwardly: "Uh...how do you know him so well?"
Jiang Deng smiled bitterly. Of course she understood her apprentice.
After all, Lin Jun is the reincarnation of her eldest disciple Lin Ye. Lin Ye is her first disciple. They have lived together for hundreds of years. It is difficult for her not to understand him.
To be honest, she was not surprised that the fourth disciple would try to kill her, because the fourth disciple had always had a bad heart, and as for the other disciples, they killed her at most to become stronger.
Except Lin Ye.
He killed her simply to kill her.
In her previous life, her death seemed to be caused by the four disciples using her chaotic body to lure the other disciples into taking action, but in fact the real leader was the eldest disciple Lin Ye.
Even the whole situation might be controlled by Lin Ye. Others thought that he was forced to join the pirate ship, but the truth... is only known to the two of them.
After regaining her life, Jiang Deng knew very well that the hatred between her and her eldest disciple was not that simple and there was no possibility of resolving it.
To be precise, only one of them can exist.
Either he kills her or she kills him!
And now... in order to avoid death, of course I have to choose to send the other person to death!
After exhaling lightly, Jiang Deng opened his eyes again, and his eyes had regained their former calmness.
"Zhiling, Fengqing, let's go!"
"Okay, sister."
"Yes, Peak Master."
Jiang Zhiling and Feng Qing each carried their fellow disciples and their own brother and followed Jiang Deng in front.
Cui Ning followed Jiang Deng's instructions and continued to stay outside the city.
In Phoenix City.
Jiang Deng and others stepped into the city and saw that every household on both sides of the street had their doors closed.
His spiritual consciousness penetrated deep into the house, and after discovering that the people hiding in the house were safe and sound, Jiang Deng did not delay any longer and continued to lead his men towards the palace.
Enter the palace from the main gate.
Looking around, there were corpses all over the ground. All the Yulin Guards who were originally stationed in the palace died in a tragic way by being beheaded.
There was still a hint of confusion in their expressions, as if the opponent's killing move had already arrived before they even saw the person who drew the sword, and they had no time to react at all.
Even the height of these people's fatal wounds and the location where their blood was sprayed were highly consistent, obviously they were killed at the same time by someone with a sword!
Kill a thousand people with one sword!
Strands of blood extended all the way to the main hall where officials held court.
Jiang Deng rubbed his chin. Judging from the bloodstains on the ground, the murderer had immediately entered the main hall after annihilating the Yulin Guards...
