Jian Zun just left and Jiang Deng came back right after?
Sect Master Su Heng and the other peak masters exchanged a glance. It was hard for them not to overthink this.
What's more, didn't I hear that Jiang Deng was chosen as the Saint?
They were happy about this for a long time. How come Jiang Deng could come back now?
Yan Zhen pondered, "I heard that the Territory Master died in an accident while in seclusion, and the entire Spirit Palace was thrown into chaos. Master Jiang Feng must have taken advantage of the chaos to escape."
"hateful!"
Su Heng's face was filled with anger. "She ran away just like that. What if the people from the Paradise Cult try to implicate us? As the Lord of a Peak, do you have any sense of right and wrong?"
At this point, Su Heng directly ordered: "Notify Jiang Deng to go to the main hall! This time..."
Main hall.
Jiang Deng was notified to come here. As soon as she entered the hall, she looked up and saw Su Heng and other peak masters sitting on the seats above, and Jiang Zhiling and others standing below, all looking at her worriedly.
"Jiang Deng, do you admit your guilt?"
Su Heng slammed the table and took the lead in asking for accountability.
"What crime has this Peak Master committed?"
Jiang Deng planned to pretend to be ignorant even though she knew the truth. Anyway, the disciples of Taichu Sword Sect were busy looking at Duan Chuan and no one noticed her. No one should know that she was the one who took the Hongmeng Spring.
Even if she guessed it, she could still deny it!
Unexpectedly, Su Heng did not mention this matter, but asked about another matter, "Since you are a saint, how can you leave the Spirit Palace at will? Go back quickly!"
Jiang Deng said angrily, "Murong Feiran is dead, why should I go back? To bury him?"
“Puff!”
Hearing this, Jiang Roushui couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, her eyes smiling as she said, "Master Jiang Feng, you can't say that. With Master Murong dead, the Paradise Cult will elect a new one. As this Saint, you should stay and shine in the Paradise Cult."
"Ha!" Jiang Deng sneered, "Since being a Saint is so good, why don't you take it? Are you afraid that no one will be interested in your looks?"
Everyone: “…”
The reason they didn't want to be a saint was because they knew that the name "Saint" only sounded nice, but in fact, she was just a cauldron!
They can practice properly on their own, why should they become a furnace, wasting their own spiritual roots and vitality, and let others take their energy?
"good!"
Su Heng took a deep breath and continued, "I won't bother with you about your escape back to the sect without permission, but you are already a peak Jindan cultivator, and the timing of your return is so ingenious. Was it you who stole the Hongmeng Spring?"
"What is Hongmeng Spring?"
Jiang Deng's eyes widened as he said seriously, "This thing sounds very precious. Could it be stolen? Why are you still standing there? Go after it!"
“…”
Su Heng was so angry that he slammed the table twice. "Jiang Deng, stop pretending! You have such a good relationship with the demon girl, how could you not know about the Hongmeng Spring? She must have asked you to take the Hongmeng Spring away before she died. Hurry and hand over the Hongmeng Spring you have been hiding!"
"die?"
Jiang Deng was shocked and asked, "Who died?"
"Yes, yes..." Jiang Zhiling choked back tears, "Sister A-Tu was killed by them. Sister A-Tu was killed by Jian Zun in order to protect Zang Feng. Not only did they not help Sister A-Tu, but they actually added insult to injury."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Deng immediately became confident and assertive. Although she was clearly in a lower position, she did not show any weakness at all. Pointing at Su Heng and the others above her, she angrily shouted, "You actually betrayed your own people. You are simply unworthy of being the Sect Master and Peak Master of the Taichu Sword Sect!"
Jiang Deng came up and started to turn the tables.
She saw with her own eyes how Su Heng and others betrayed A Tu in order to survive.
Even when Asu was fighting, they had no intention of going up to help. If they had gone forward to help, Asu would not have lost, let alone died!
They are all accomplices in killing Asu!
"Jiang Deng! You're looking for death!" Wu Cheng's eyes turned red with anger.
He was about to go down the stage to clean up Jiang Deng, but was stopped by Xuan Lao who was sitting beside him. "Be patient."
"Ancestor!"
Wu Cheng was furious. "Before, you didn't let me mention Jiang Deng's name in front of Jian Zun, which was fine. But now we're the only ones here, why are you still protecting Jiang Deng so much?"
"Ancestor, don't forget that the savior of our Taichu Sword Sect is Lin Jun, not her Jiang Deng!"
Xuan Lao looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "Not necessarily."
Then, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Jiang Deng. "Ever since she came to Taichu Sword Sect, I have been unable to foresee her fate. Since then, I have been wondering if I have made a mistake..."
Everyone: “…”
What am I saying, old man? It's so ambiguous!
Could it be that the savior of their Taichu Sword Sect is not Lin Jun, but Jiang Deng?
When Jiang Deng saw that the old man Master Lin Jun had somehow started to side with him, he immediately became alert.
Jiang Deng crossed his arms and insisted, "I don't care why you betrayed A-Tu, but this matter is not over today!"
Su Heng's eyes completely lost his patience. "How can you calm things down?"
Jiang Deng's eyes rolled, and when he looked at Su Heng, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "It's easy for me to keep things quiet, unless I become the leader of the Taichu Sword Sect!"
"You're crazy!"
All the peak masters exclaimed in surprise.
Su Heng also stared at Jiang Deng, his eyes fierce as he said, "Jiang Deng, don't push your luck!"
As he spoke, the pressure from the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm attacked Jiang Deng!
Jiang Deng has now reached the Jindan realm, and she is also a physical cultivator, so she is naturally not afraid of Su Heng's pressure. Not only does she stand straight, but she also looks very contented.
"Master Su, have you forgotten? You haven't fulfilled the bet we made before!"
"Before, you refused, saying that letting Zhan Ji become the Peak Master wasn't something you could decide on your own. But now that you're resigning from the position of Sect Master, it's your own decision, right? Don't waste time, resign immediately!"
Su Heng: “…” Damn it!
He knew that Jiang Deng would ask for a huge amount of money after winning the bet!
I just didn't expect the opening to be so big!
Jiang Deng has such a big appetite, isn’t he afraid of dying of overeating?
Others didn't react much. After all, Jiang Deng wanted the position of sect leader, not their peak leader. Smart people like Jiang Roushui and Yan Zhen didn't say anything.
Wu Cheng was obviously not very smart. "The Taichu Sword Sect has never had a Sect Master who reached the Jindan Realm. If I let you go out with the title of Sect Master, wouldn't that be a disgrace to our Taichu Sword Sect?"
Jiang Deng was surprised and said, "Huh? The Taichu Sword Sect still has some dignity?"
Everyone: “…”
It seems like you only have the purpose of opening your mouth to scold people?
Jiang Deng said confidently, "Don't forget, I'm the one who contributed the most to winning first place in the sect ranking competition!"
"Thinking back, when Lin Jun disrupted the competition, if it weren't for me, the Taichu Sword Sect wouldn't have been able to defeat the Blissful Immortal Palace. Since my contribution was so great, what's the big deal about giving me the title of Sect Master?"
