Seeing this, all the ghost cultivators in the hall were completely furious.
"It's actually a real mermaid pearl!"
"There's no mistaking this aura. This mermaid pearl is incredibly close to being divine."
"No, no, no, it's the God level. The key is that the host demon king seems to have survived the heavenly tribulation!"
"That's not right. Since the Demon King has already survived the heavenly tribulation, why didn't he ascend to heaven? Instead, he was killed and his mermaid pearl was taken away?"
…
Thinking of this, the ghost cultivators were extremely puzzled, and they also began to doubt the identity of the woman holding the mermaid pearl.
Jiang Deng in the crowd was also very puzzled.
She looked at the woman in red in front of her, and doubts surged in her heart like a tide.
Although she had never seen this woman before, she felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if she knew her very well... like an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time.
Hearing so many doubts around him, the host's smile faltered a little. He asked tentatively, "I wonder if this distinguished guest can prove that the mermaid pearl in his hand is authentic?"
"It's natural."
The woman nodded slightly and directly lifted the mask covering her face, and her true face came into view.
Her pair of phoenix eyes are bright and her facial features are exquisite and refined. Paired with her red dress, she is beautiful in a bold and unrestrained way.
Jiang Deng froze suddenly.
She never expected that she would see this person in this life.
because……
This is her!
It’s her body from her previous life!
She will never admit her mistake!
But...if she is not dead, then who is this woman in red?
Jiang Deng was completely confused.
Not only was she confused, but Bai Sitang was also completely dumbfounded.
Looking at the face that looked very similar to his own, Bai Sitang's hands couldn't help but tremble, and he muttered to himself: "Mother..."
If his mother was still alive, wouldn't he have to try to resurrect her? Thinking of this, Bai Sitang's heart began to beat wildly with excitement.
"Hiss... Why does this person look so much like the former Venerable Jiang Deng, one of the former female demons?"
"Indeed, it does, but wasn't Venerable Jiang Deng already dead? Didn't she die at the hands of her seven disciples?"
"Wait! Isn't the Demon King the disciple of Venerable Jiang Deng? Could it be..."
Under the gaze of the crowd, the woman nodded slowly, her expression cold and indifferent, "Yes, I am the Venerable Jiang Deng from a thousand years ago. Leng Chaosheng was naturally killed by me. The reason I killed him was to avenge my own death."
“Wow!”
When the woman directly admitted her identity, the hall was in an uproar.
"No wonder Sect Leader Murong, Sword Master Duanchuan, Demon Master Fan Wuyin, and now Demon King Lengchaosheng, all died one after another. It turns out it was all Venerable Jiang Deng's revenge!"
"Haha, could it be that the next person Venerable Jiang Deng wants to kill is the Ghost Emperor of our Ghost Realm?"
"Don't be ridiculous! Among the ten domain masters of the ten domains, the most mysterious one is our Ghost Emperor. How could she possibly be a match for the Ghost Emperor?"
"Stop talking nonsense. This mermaid pearl is a tonic! Eating it can absorb the demon king's cultivation. I wonder who will end up with this treasure?"
…
Bai Sitang was so excited that he couldn't help but clench his fists. He was muttering something in a low voice, but his burning gaze towards the woman in red on the stage revealed his inner thoughts.
If not everyone present here were ghost cultivators, once their identities as cultivators were exposed, they would be caught and eaten by the ghost cultivators. He would definitely rush onto the stage to recognize his mother!
Jiang Deng was the only one in the room who remained silent. The longer she looked at the woman in red, the tighter her brows furrowed.
The more she looked, the more something seemed wrong. This woman in red was exactly like her in her previous life, except for her eyes.
In her previous life, she was proud and indifferent, but when her seven disciples killed their master to prove their truth, her thoughts changed drastically.
Now there is a shrewd look in her eyes. She would rather scheme against others than be schemed against by others.
However, the look in the eyes of the woman in red did not change at all.
Unless, she completely forgot about being killed by her seven disciples, but how is that possible?
Jiang Deng boldly guessed that this body might indeed be hers, but the soul within it was a serious problem...
"The starting price for the Mermaid Pearl is 10,000 top-grade spirit stones. Is anyone interested in bidding?"
Now that the identity of the woman in red had been confirmed, the emcee didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly asked loudly.
The whole audience was silent.
Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones!
This is equivalent to one million high-grade spirit stones, one hundred million mid-grade spirit stones... an astronomical figure, higher than the annual revenue of a large sect.
Although the mermaid pearl is very precious and is indeed worth this amount, who can afford it?
Just when everyone thought that the Mermaid Pearls would not be sold——
Jiang Deng, who was sitting in the corner of the hall, suddenly said, "I'll offer 10,000 top-grade spirit stones, plus a drop of Hongmeng Spring Water."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Deng.
He just offered 10,000 top-grade spirit stones and added an extra price, and the extra price was a divine treasure like Hongmeng Spring Water. How rich is the other party?
Do they need to go and rob after the auction?
Not only the others, but even the woman's eyes fell on Jiang Deng. Her expression remained the same as usual, and she slowly responded, "Okay."
Snap!
The emcee quickly hammered down the deal, "Deal. Please come to the backstage to complete the transaction later."
The woman in red flew away first.
Jiang Deng also stood up and went backstage.
Bai Sitang, who was sitting nearby, quickly grabbed Jiang Deng's sleeve and said pitifully, "Take me with you, please! I really have something important to tell you!"
Jiang Deng's mouth twitched. Although he didn't know why Bai Sitang suddenly became so obedient, he still subconsciously refused: "No, the Mermaid Pearl originally belonged to me. It was you who threw it away, causing me to spend a lot of money to buy it back. I'm lucky I didn't cause you any trouble. Get out of here!"
Jiang Deng kicked away the begging Bai Sitang and followed the emcee to the backstage.
Perhaps it was Bai Sitang who delayed her for a while. When she arrived at the backstage, she could no longer see the woman in red. She was greeted only by the emcee and the manager of the Jinshi Auction House.
The shopkeeper was a woman in her early twenties, with a slightly round face and two dimples when she smiled.
Jiang Deng couldn't help but take a closer look, feeling that she looked familiar, so he asked curiously, "Excuse me, shopkeeper, what is your relationship with Song Yayue?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "To be honest, Song Yayue is actually my elder sister, and I am her younger sister, Song Yaxing."
"Oh, I see. You two sisters are really amazing."
Jiang Deng thought to himself, these two are indeed sisters.
One is the shopkeeper of the Jinshi Auction House in the Tuxie Spirit Realm, and the other is the shopkeeper of the Jinshi Auction House in the Netherworld Ghost Realm, making the Jinshi Auction House look like it's run by her family.
