These people from the Lighting Lamp Sect are all evil cultivators who specialize in doing bad things.
If you offer sacrifices to her, let alone increasing her merits, it would be good enough if it does not diminish her merits!
Thinking of this, Jiang Deng's face darkened. She vaguely knew why she was so unlucky after her rebirth. It turned out that someone was doing bad things under her name.
"Jiang Deng..."
Nangong Xiangrui, standing aside, turned his head to look at Jiang Deng. "You don't have any hidden identities, do you? For example, you're the master of the Dian Deng Sect, and you've deliberately infiltrated our Nangong family, waiting for a fight between us and the Dian Deng Sect so you can stab us in the back?"
Jiang Deng's mouth twitched, and he said admiringly: "Nangong Xiangrui, you have a very rich imagination."
Chi Lian made a firm statement and assured, "Jiang Deng has not practiced any evil cultivation techniques. She has absolutely nothing to do with the evil cultivation of the Dian Deng Sect. I can be sure of this."
"Ginger Lantern?"
Listening to the conversation between Nangong Xiangrui and Chi Lian, Bai Sitang vaguely understood something and looked at Jiang Deng in disbelief, "Your name is Jiang Deng?"
Jiang Deng shrugged, "How else can you still be called Jiang Deng?"
Hearing this, Bai Sitang's face flushed, and he immediately shouted angrily: "How can you call yourself that! You'd better change it immediately! Whether you're called Jiang Huo or Jiang Zhu, you can't be called Jiang Deng!"
"Hey!"
Seeing Bai Sitang being unreasonable, Jiang Deng's temper flared up. He placed his hands on his hips and looked down at Bai Sitang, "Why can't I use this name? Could it be that this name has been taken by someone else?"
"This name, this name is...anyway, you just can't call it!" Bai Sitang stammered, unable to explain clearly.
"Get lost!"
Jiang Deng slapped Bai Sitang away from him with a single slap.
Pei Ranzhi remained calm and even advised, "I think everyone must have misunderstood. A thousand years ago, the number one female cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation was also called Jiang Deng. She was also one of the two great female demons in the Ten Realms. I heard that she even extracted the souls of tens of thousands of cultivators to practice evil skills. I think the founder of the Dian Deng Sect must be this Jiang Deng, not the Jiang Deng around us."
Jiang Deng: “…”
To be honest, Pei Ranzhi might as well not speak for her. She couldn't be happy at all when she heard that her good reputation had been tarnished like this.
Too lazy to prove her innocence to others, Jiang Deng began to look around. There was nothing else in the ancestral hall except her tablet and candles.
Is that strange?
Didn't Jiukui, the leader of the Lighting Sect, escape here? Where's Keren?
Bang!
After a loud bang, the door behind him suddenly closed.
Gusts of cold wind blew through the ancestral hall, and the surrounding candlelight swayed slightly a few times before going out. Immediately afterwards, the sound of a mechanism being activated was heard from underground.
"Master Lantern Bearer, they are the ones who bullied me!" Jiu Kui's familiar voice sounded.
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw a throne made of skulls slowly rising from the ground in the center of the ancestral hall.
Sitting on the throne was a girl in black. She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, petite and delicate, with lively features and upturned eyebrows that carried a hint of evil.
I guess she is the lamp bearer of the Lamp Lighting Sect, Shi Tongling.
The headmaster Jiu Kui, who had been showing off in front of Jiang Deng and the others, now knelt in front of Shi Tongling in embarrassment, pointing at Jiang Deng and the others and accusing them with tears in his eyes, "Master Dengzhe, please make the decision for me!"
"Oh? Let me see who is bullying my good dog?"
Shi Tongling gently stroked Jiukui's head as if she was stroking a dog. Then, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at the people opposite her with a perverse smile on her lips.
"Just a few of you dare to touch the dog I'm protecting?"
Everyone: “…”
Although Shi Tongling's aura was terrifying, they still couldn't help laughing. They had seen Jiukui act so arrogant, but they didn't expect that he actually had a habit of acting like a dog behind the scenes. Well... they could only respect and bless him.
Jiu Kui continued: "Master Lantern Bearer, look, they are looking down on you!"
"How can this be possible!"
Shi Tongling seemed to be having trouble with her brain, and even such a simple provocation would fall for her. She kicked Jiu Kui aside and said, "Get out of my way!"
"……cough!"
Jiukui spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled for a long time before he got up from the ground.
Good man, this random kick to him was more serious than the previous injury he suffered when he was surrounded and attacked...
Jiu Kui couldn't help but stare at Shi Tongling with resentment. This bitch surnamed Shi was smart but simple-minded. If he hadn't seen that she was strong enough, he would never have allowed her to join the Dian Deng Sect!
However, now is not the time to pursue this...
When Shi Tongling and that group of righteous people are both defeated, it will be his turn to reap the benefits! Humph!
Under Jiukui's gaze, Shi Tongling slowly stood up, and in an instant his realm was fully opened!
It’s actually the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
A powerful person who is only half a step away from entering the Return to Void Realm!
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
I didn’t expect that Shi Tongling, who looks weak on the outside, is actually so powerful!
A powerful pressure came, and everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back. Even Jiang Deng, who was also a physical cultivator, took it seriously and quickly activated his Chaos Body, thus resisting the powerful pressure without taking a single step back.
Pei Ranzhi gritted his teeth, the long sword in his hand humming, "You are the Lantern Bearer of the Lighting Sect!"
Shi Tongling nodded. "That's right. Do you have any other questions? Why not ask them all at once? That way, you can be a more understanding ghost when you go to the underworld."
Jiang Deng also asked, "Did you also set up the formation at the main cave entrance?"
A hint of curiosity flashed in Shi Tongling's eyes. "Yes, I didn't expect that you useless righteous people could break the formation I set up. Who among you broke it?"
“…”
Although no one spoke, they subconsciously turned their eyes to Jiang Deng.
Shi Tongling's gaze also fell on Jiang Deng, and she said with regret, "Not bad, you have such accomplishments at such a young age. It's a pity that you will die in my hands soon."
Jiang Deng: “…”
This person clearly looks younger than her age, yet he speaks like this, which gives people a very strange feeling.
However, Jiang Deng also understood. After all, the other party was a big boss whose strength was close to the Return to Void Realm. He might have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, while the bone age of her body was only eighteen years old.
In the other party's eyes, she was indeed a fledgling junior.
"Is the Venerable Jiang Deng from a thousand years ago really the founder of your Dian Deng Sect?"
The person who asked this question was Bai Sitang.
Even though he has been trying to find out about his mother in the past few years, he only has a vague understanding of the matter, and the information he knows is very vague. If this Dian Deng Sect is really related to his mother, then he may be able to learn more about her!
This made Bai Sitang excited.
Unexpectedly, Shi Tongling shook her head and corrected her in a gentle manner: "Jiang Deng is not the founder of our Dian Deng sect, but the grandmother of our Dian Deng sect."
