"Thank you for the compliment. I learned this from you brothers."
Jiang Deng showed no mercy. She thrust the heavy sword into Xiao Chen's chest and twisted it vigorously in a big circle until Xiao Chen's entire chest was stabbed to pieces.
“Master…”
Xiao Chen looked at Jiang Deng, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, his eyes gradually became unfocused and his head suddenly drooped.
At the same time, the darkness around also faded away. The time limit of the Demon King Mo Wen's Wanwen Realm expired and it disappeared.
They returned to the imperial palace. Unlike the previous magnificent and unique imperial palace, most of the palace collapsed after the fight between Jiang Deng and Xiao Chen.
Looking around, there are broken walls and ruins everywhere, and it is in a dilapidated state.
As the Wanwen Realm disappeared, Xiao Chen's body was no longer fixed by the chains and fell to the ground powerlessly, without any breath.
"call!"
Seeing that Xiao Chen was indeed dead and had no intention of coming back to life, Jiang Deng breathed a sigh of relief.
If she had used her previous body, she probably wouldn't have been able to exert such great strength to break the defense of the seventh disciple with just one sword.
This was all thanks to the strong physical strength of his previous life, so he was able to kill Xiao Chen so easily...
Looking down, he saw a black sticky liquid flowing down the wound on Xiao Chen's chest. Finally, the black liquid turned into black smoke and disappeared.
"Um?"
Jiang Deng felt that something was wrong.
How come the seventh disciple didn’t even leave behind a body?
Could it be that the seventh disciple had died a long time ago and only practiced the ghost way after his death?
However, I haven't heard that the seventh disciple had been killed by anyone before. Could it be that he killed himself?
Jiang Deng frowned slightly, and the most bizarre thing was that the seventh disciple knew that her soul from her previous life could still be integrated in this life, but he still put it into her previous life's corpse and then resurrected her into her previous life's corpse.
Hiss... This matter seems a little weird no matter how you look at it.
Although Jiang Deng felt something was wrong, he couldn't tell what was wrong for a moment.
Just as she was about to continue thinking, she heard the excited voices of A Tu and the others.
"Jiang Deng, what are you still standing there for? It would be a shame if you don't sign a contract with the Gate of Hell!"
"Not bad, not bad."
Demon King Mo Wen nodded and echoed, "This Gate to the Underworld is a magical weapon that has existed since ancient times. It contains a small world and is as valuable as a divine artifact. After the contract, although you won't be able to control the underworld like that kid, you can still use it as a magical weapon to raise ghosts and creatures. It's truly amazing."
"Okay, I'll try the contract now."
Jiang Deng dismissed the messy thoughts in his mind and walked towards the gate of the underworld.
Chongguang and the others were all staring at Jiang Deng, completely unaware that in the corner of the ruins, an eye with double pupils was watching them...
——
At the same time, outside the Imperial Palace.
"Oh no! Venerable Jiang Deng has resurrected!"
"Oh no! Venerable Jiang Deng and the Ghost Emperor are fighting!"
"It's over, the Ghost Emperor was beaten to death by Venerable Jiang Deng!"
"Good and evil cannot coexist since ancient times. Venerable Jiang Deng will definitely kill us ghost cultivators. Everyone, run away!"
"Wait, isn't Venerable Jiang Deng the number one female devil in the Ten Realms? Then she's in the same business as us, so what's there to be afraid of?"
"That's what makes it even scarier! The devil must want to kill us minions to increase his strength!"
…
After a series of explosive news came out, the entire underworld was in chaos.
The fall of the Ghost Emperor means that the ghost city in the underworld is no longer safe. The ghost cultivators began to flee in all directions, fearing that Jiang Deng would come to attack them again.
However, there were also some ghost cultivators who were not afraid of death. Instead of fleeing, they gathered a large army and marched towards the imperial palace.
"What is there for Venerable Jiang Deng to be afraid of? She died once a thousand years ago!"
"That's right, the Ghost Emperor must have fallen for her honey trap and died at her hands, but we are different. We are ghosts and don't like women at all!"
"Charge into the Imperial Palace, kill Venerable Jiang Deng, and avenge the Ghost Emperor!"
"Brother, you are absolutely right. Venerable Jiang Deng is a top cultivator who has survived the heavenly tribulation. If we eat her flesh and blood, our strength will surely increase rapidly!
“Charge!”
…
A group of ghost cultivators with high cultivation levels began to attack the Imperial Palace together, and the ghost cultivators passing by were pushed away by them.
"Get out of here if you don't want to die!"
When the ghost cultivators were rushing towards the imperial palace, a man in an ink-black robe passed by them. The man's face was covered by a hat, so his features could not be seen clearly.
The man went in the opposite direction from the ghost cultivators.
Not until the ghost cultivators had completely left him did the man take off his hat, revealing himself to be a handsome young man.
It was not someone else, but Xiao Chen who had just been killed by Jiang Deng!
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the once magnificent imperial palace, which had become dilapidated. The expression on his face was indescribably sarcastic.
"Oh, Master, you are truly ruthless to me... In that case, there is no need for me to hold back from now on."
In the imperial palace, the Ghost Emperor who was so weak that it was unbearable to look at and was killed by Jiang Deng was naturally not him.
Instead, it was an avatar he created using his own original demonic energy. The avatar contained all his love and hatred for his master. When the avatar was alive, he could also feel the feelings he had for his master.
But now, Master had killed his clone, which actually helped him to be free. Then, he wouldn't have to worry about Master when doing things in the future...
As for the soul placed in the master's body in the previous life, it was naturally placed there by him, but he kept his clone in the dark from beginning to end.
Although everything was progressing according to evolution, Xiao Chen was still a little unhappy. He couldn't believe that his master was so cruel to him.
"Seventh Junior Brother, what exactly are you going to do?"
"Seventh Brother, I knew you were full of bad intentions."
"You little bastard! What evil plan are you planning again?"
"Junior brother, if you have any resentment, please vent it to me. Don't bother Master anymore."
Four chaotic voices rang out in his sea of consciousness. They were all the residual souls of several senior brothers whom he had devoured before.
"You will know soon." Xiao Chen showed a cruel smile.
Fan Wuyin's remaining soul immediately advised, "Although I don't know what you are going to do, Master has been very kind to us. Junior Brother, please stop targeting Master."
Leng Chaosheng also echoed, "Yes, it's not easy for Master either. If he had disciples like us, he would have died many years ago."
"I'm different from those guys who are so cunning," Duan Chuan corrected him. "Seventh Brother, I support you in killing our Master."
"Shut up! How can you question what I do?!"
Xiao Chen didn't want to listen anymore, so he directly sealed the four residual souls in his sea of consciousness.
Immediately afterwards, the facial features on his face twisted, his handsome face became more and more ordinary, and the double pupils in his eyes gradually merged into one, and finally turned into the appearance of Chen Xiao.
Xiao Chen did not flee the city like most ghost cultivators, but turned and walked towards the Imperial Palace.
