"puppet?"
Jiang Deng nodded with a thoughtful expression.
Danqing's explanation made sense. No wonder she felt that Jiang Yuanbao's aura was a little strange just now. It turned out that he was made into a puppet by the evil cultivator.
"That's right," Danqing continued, "The puppets of the Puppet Cult are divided into two types: human puppets and beast puppets. Since he can maintain his human form, he is naturally a human puppet."
"But...why did the Puppet Cult of the Demon Realm want to capture my aunt?"
Jiang Deng was frowning at this. Her aunt was just an ordinary person and had no grudge against the Puppet Cult. She really couldn't understand the Puppet Cult's motive for doing this.
Jiang Zhiling also looked worried and said, "Yes, if they have a grudge against the Taichu Sword Sect, they could take any of us hostages. Why must they take my mother?"
Hearing this, Shi Tongling on the side complained: "You guys are all more powerful than each other. Which of you can he catch?"
“…”
Jiang Deng looked at Jiang Zhiling, then at Jiang Zhi, and suddenly fell silent.
really.
Jiang Zhiling has already reached the perfect stage of Jindan and will be promoted to Yuanying stage at any time.
Jiang Zhi's talent is obviously not as high as Jiang Zhiling's, but for some reason, his cultivation progress is not slow at all, and he has already reached the perfection of the Jindan realm.
Jiang Yuanbao, who had been made into a human puppet, was only in the late Jindan realm. He was lucky enough not to be killed by Jiang Zhiling and Jiang Zhi, let alone capture them...
Jiang Deng nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that if I want to find my aunt, I have to go to the Puppet School in the Demon Realm first."
"Master," Jiang Zhi stepped forward and bowed, "This matter is of great importance. How about I go back and report this to the sect? We can negotiate with the Demon Realm in the name of the Taichu Sword Sect."
"Oh? You're good at making suggestions."
When Jiang Deng looked at Jiang Zhi, his eyebrows were curved, and there was no anger on his face.
"Thank you for the compliment, Sect Master."
Jiang Zhi bowed again, but at the moment he lowered his head, Jiang Deng immediately took out the Red Refining Sword and stabbed him in the heart.
"Well!"
Jiang Zhi covered his injured chest and looked at Jiang Deng in disbelief, "Sect Master... why is this happening?"
Jiang Zhiling was also a little confused about this sudden situation. "Sister, although Jiang Zhi is a bit annoying, there is no need to kill him directly, right?"
Jiang Zhi had been pestering her ever since she came back from the sword-fighting conference. This time, he insisted on following her back to the Jiang residence to visit relatives, threatening that if she didn't take him with her, he would go to Zhan Ji and tell her that she, the leader of Zangfeng, had neglected her duties.
Because of this, she brought Jiang Zhi back to the Jiang Mansion. If Jiang Zhi died outside, she would have a hard time explaining herself when she returned to the sect...
"Zhiling, I took action for a reason. Jiang Zhi killed my friend."
Jiang Deng didn't want to have any grudges with Jiang Zhiling because of a man, so he gave a simple explanation.
"oh."
Jiang Zhiling nodded thoughtfully, "Then he really deserves to be killed."
As he spoke, he reached for the back of his neck, ready to take out his own natal sword and stab a few times.
"Miss Zhiling!"
Jiang Zhi clutched the clothes on his chest tightly when he found Jiang Zhiling so indifferent to him. Compared with the physical injuries, his heart hurt more, so much so that he could hardly breathe.
"I'm so infatuated with you, yet you're so cold to me? Is your heart made of iron?"
"ah?"
Jiang Zhiling scratched her hair, feeling troubled. "I know you're infatuated with me, but I don't have any feelings for you. Just because you like me, does that mean I have to like you? Many of my fellow disciples in the sect like me, so do I have to like them all one by one? That's too illogical."
Jiang Zhi's eyes were filled with pain, "But I'm different from them!"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhiling immediately became interested. "Do you have an extra penis compared to the other brothers?"
Jiang Deng: “…”
She simply couldn't listen any further.
When did the innocent and kind-hearted Zhiling become so filthy? Which bastard led Zhiling astray while she was away?
“…”
Jiang Zhi was also quite speechless. Seeing that Jiang Zhiling had no intention of speaking up for him, he felt chilled and panicked. He hurriedly explained to Jiang Deng, "Sect Master, I have never killed anyone in my life, so how could I kill your friend? Is there some misunderstanding between us?"
"Okay, then I'll let you die knowing full well."
After that, Jiang Deng took out the Rouzhao Mirror and pointed it at Jiang Zhi, "Xiao Rou, check his past life to see if he killed Qin Feng."
"Yes, Master."
Xiaorou immediately obeyed the order, and the scene of Jiang Zhi stabbing her in the back soon appeared in the mirror.
Jiang Zhi first lured Qin Feng to Duan Chuan's Jiange by threatening Jiang Deng's safety. Then, when Duan Chuan had attracted all of Qin Feng's attention, he stabbed Qin Feng in the back with the sword in his hand.
But Qin Feng was not dead yet, so Jiang Zhi took Qin Feng back to his residence in Qiming Spirit Realm...
Jiang Zhi's pupils shrank as he watched the scenes appear before his eyes.
It turned out that the memories that flooded into him at the Sword Discussion Conference were all true! He really killed Jiang Zhiling's previous life, but why?
He didn't even have time to love Jiang Zhiling, so how could he kill her?
Even Jiang Zhi himself couldn't explain this matter.
"Here."
To make it easier to fight, Jiang Deng stuffed the Rouzhao Mirror into the hands of Jiang Zhiling, who was standing nearby. He then kicked Jiang Zhi to the ground and sneered, "What else do you have to explain? Prepare to die."
"etc!"
Jiang Zhi finally struggled and said, "Although I did kill Qin Feng, that was something I did in my previous life. What does it have to do with my current life? It doesn't make sense. I should repay the debt of my previous life in this life, right?"
"Well said," Jiang Deng smiled and nodded. "It really doesn't matter, but I didn't say my friend's name was Qin Feng. How did you know her name? It seems you have memories of your past life too. Since you remember, it must be related to you!"
After saying that, Jiang Deng twisted his wrist and thrust the sword into Jiang Zhi's heart with a little more force. The powerful sword energy almost exploded his chest.
Blood gushed out, staining the white clothes and the ground red...
Jiang Zhi's eyelids trembled, and finally he closed his eyes.
Obviously Jiang Deng did not hold back at all, and Jiang Zhi's chest had been blasted to pieces by the sword energy, but his heart was intact, still beating bright red and hot.
"Is this... the Heart of a Child?"
Jiang Deng frowned, she felt like she had forgotten something.
Before Jiang Deng could remember, Jiang Zhiling beside him seemed to be tempted and reached out to touch the heart in Jiang Zhi's chest.
In just a moment, the innocent heart turned into a ball of red light, attacked Jiang Zhiling's chest, and then sank into it!
