"What happened to the evil cultivator?"
"When I was choosing my path, I was inspired by your deeds and decided to become an evil cultivator!"
Shi Tongling wiped her tears and cried, "What's more, do you think it's easy to be an evil cultivator? To be an evil cultivator, you have to kill people to advance! I killed so many people that my hands are sore, and I finally became a big boss in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Do you think it's easy for me?"
“…”
Seeing Shi Tongling's sincerity, Jiang Deng sighed and said, "Well, I have a question. If you can answer it to my satisfaction, I will accept you as my new employer."
“Okay, okay!”
Shi Tongling nodded desperately, looking at Jiang Deng with shining eyes, "What does Grandmother want to ask? I must tell the truth. If I dare to lie, I will be stabbed by all the righteous cultivators in the ten regions. After I die, my soul will fall into the underworld and be eaten away by thousands of ghosts!"
Jiang Deng's mouth twitched, "There's no need to swear so harshly."
Master Tongling said seriously, "If you don't swear an oath, how can you prove your disciple's sincerity?"
"Alright," Jiang Deng stared at Shi Tongling seriously, "Do you know about Jiu Kui refining the Purple Netherworld Flower?"
Shi Tongling nodded and said frankly, "I do know. If I didn't know, would I have set up a protective formation for him?"
Jiang Deng couldn't help but sigh.
She now somewhat hoped that Shi Tongling wouldn't be so honest. She had never expected that this person would be so honest...
Just as Jiang Deng was thinking that he and Shi Tongling had no fate, Shi Tongling added, "Jiukui told me at the time that the Purple Netherworld Flower could communicate with the dead, summon your soul, and bring you back to life. So, I was afraid that someone would disturb your resurrection, so I set up the formation at the entrance of the cave. Otherwise, I wouldn't care whether Jiukui lived or died!"
"What's the matter? Is there a problem?"
Shi Tongling asked with a confused look on her face. Even though her brain was not very good, she felt that this question was very important to the Grandmother, so she answered it verbatim.
Jiang Deng breathed a sigh of relief and frankly said, "Jiukui killed thousands of mortals and used their heart blood to make the Purple Netherworld Flower bloom. He refined the Purple Netherworld Flower not to summon the souls of the dead, but purely to consume it to increase his own cultivation."
"Jiukui, you dead dog!"
Shi Tongling punched the ground with an angry fist, cracking it. "How dare you pretend to obey me while secretly disobeying me!"
Then, she turned around and searched everywhere, but she couldn't find Jiukui in the ancestral hall... Where did Jiukui go?
Just as Shi Tongling was wondering, she heard Jiang Deng's voice again from above.
"Since you are not fully aware of this matter, I will give you a chance to mend your ways. I hope you will not harm innocent mortals in the future. If you do, don't blame me for disowning you."
Jiang Deng said in a deep voice.
The reason why she set this rule for Shi Tongling was not entirely for the sake of justice or righteousness, but more importantly for Shi Tongling herself.
Although evil cultivators can cultivate quickly, it is difficult for them to become top-tier warriors. If they kill too many mortals, it may harm the harmony of nature and they will have no hope of ascending to heaven.
If Shi Tongling can avoid harming innocent people, she is not only protecting the innocent, but also protecting herself.
"Hmmmm!"
Shi Tongling nodded desperately, "I'll listen to you, Grandmother."
Jiang Deng couldn't help but twitch his lips, "Don't call me Grandma, we look about the same age, just call me Boss."
Although Jiang Deng has no interest in being someone else's grandmother, she is still very interested in being someone else's boss.
Shi Tongling nodded vigorously, "Okay, Boss! From now on, if you ask me to kill a chicken, I will definitely not kill a dog. If you ask me to roast a duck, I will definitely not roast a goose."
Jiang Deng nodded with satisfaction. Her new sister spoke much more educatedly than Chi Lian, whom she hired. Her choice of words and sentences seemed very refined.
"Well..."
Jiang Deng thought of something, "I can still talk to you, but I'm afraid the others won't accept you. If you believe me, then give up resistance and I will take you into my little world."
Shi Tongling clenched her fists excitedly, "As expected of the boss, you even have a small world to rely on!"
Jiang Deng felt a little embarrassed by the praise. He clenched his fist and coughed lightly, "Keep a low profile. My little world is nothing. As long as I work hard for a while, it will definitely become a big world in the future."
Hearing this, the admiration in Shi Tongling's eyes became even stronger.
She is worthy of being the ancestor grandmother she has worshipped for thousands of years!
Even if I am reincarnated, I will never let her down!
The next moment, Shi Tongling relaxed her guard, and Jiang Deng easily took Shi Tongling into his own Eight Gates World.
After entering the Eight Gates World, Shi Tongling looked around everywhere until his curiosity was satisfied. Then he sat down cross-legged near the Hongmeng Spring, where the spiritual energy was the richest, and began to concentrate on practicing.
Jiang Deng was not worried at all that Shi Tongling would pretend to surrender and then cause trouble in the Eight Gates World.
After all, the Eight Gates World is completely under her control. As long as she has a thought, she can easily deal with anything in the Eight Gates World, even Shi Tongling, who is much stronger than her, is no exception.
As Shi Tongling left the ancestral hall, the formation that had trapped everyone also disappeared...
"Ginger Lantern!"
As soon as Nangong Xiangrui left the formation, he searched everywhere. He didn't see anyone except Jiang Deng, so he quickly asked, "Where are those two evil cultivators?"
Jiang Deng coughed lightly and lied calmly, "Shi Tongling's Dharma body was shattered, and he suffered a backlash and was seriously injured, so he escaped. As for Jiu Kui? I didn't see him when I came out. I guess he took the opportunity to escape when Shi Tongling trapped us in the formation."
This is half true and half false.
Jiang Deng did not lie about Jiu Kui's affairs, but she did not intend to reveal Shi Tongling's affairs to these people.
After all, Shi Tongling is indeed an evil cultivator, and the righteous people in the Ten Realms all want to kill evil cultivators and demon cultivators, so they don't care about the reasons why others choose to become evil cultivators and demon cultivators.
Therefore, sometimes in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, white lies must be told.
"Damn it! We actually let these evil cultivators escape!"
Nangong Xiangrui angrily clenched his fist and hit the wall, causing the entire ancestral hall to tremble twice.
Pei Ranzhi looked at Jiang Deng, who looked calm, and frowned slightly.
Unlike Nangong Xiangrui, with whom he grew up, this was his first time meeting Jiang Deng. His intuition told him that this person was not simple and he could not trust her words.
But considering that Jiang Deng was stronger than him, and that they had relied on Jiang Deng to get here, Pei Ranzhi couldn't say anything...
Chi Lian, who was standing aside, yawned out of boredom.
She could tell at a glance that Jiang Deng was lying, but what did that have to do with her?
Jiang Deng was her employer, and keeping her employer's secrets was her basic ethical duty as a worker. How could she possibly expose her employer's shortcomings? She would even cover up for her employer when necessary.
"Hey, where's my junior brother?"
At this moment, Gan Yufan's surprised voice sounded again.
Everyone hurriedly turned around to check and found that... Bai Sitang was gone again!
