"No, no!"
The demon seed was in Xiao Yan's dantian, shaking its head and saying, "This Jiang Deng is not that Jiang Deng. The Jiang Deng my master is looking for is the Venerable Jiang Deng who nearly ascended to immortality a thousand years ago! How can he be compared to this woman who is only at the Foundation Establishment stage and has useless spiritual roots?"
Xiao Yan said in shock, "Venerable Jiang Deng? But isn't she already dead? I heard that she was killed by her seven disciples for practicing evil skills, and her soul was destroyed..."
"That's just what we're saying to the public. Only Venerable Jiang Deng and her seven disciples know the truth."
After the demon seed gave a brief explanation, he continued, "My master is also one of Venerable Jiang Deng's seven disciples. He calculated that Venerable Jiang Deng's reincarnation opportunity had arrived, so he spread tens of thousands of demon seeds throughout the ten domains. Each demon seed can parasitize a cultivator. They all have the same goal, which is to find Venerable Jiang Deng's reincarnation!"
"If our pair can be the first to find the reincarnation of Venerable Jiang Deng, the master will definitely reward us!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart was immediately moved. "What are the characteristics of the reincarnation of Venerable Jiang Deng?"
The demon said honestly, "I can't sense anything from her appearance, but with just one drop of her blood, I can take root and sprout! Then I will immediately pass her message to the master! Then the master will tear through space and descend directly here!"
Xiao Yan clenched his fists and his eyes were determined.
Searching for the reincarnation of Venerable Jiang Deng and winning the championship in the sect's competition, others would be exhausted even if they only did one of these things.
But he is different, he wants to do it all!
His first priority is to injure Jiang Deng in the sect's competition and get her blood!
——
After Jiang Deng registered, he did not stay at the main peak. He flew directly back to Zang Peak with Jiang Zhiling.
It was already dark at this time, and Feng Qing was still guarding the mountain gate. As soon as he saw Jiang Deng and Jiang Zhiling, he immediately came forward to greet them warmly.
"Peak Master, Zhiling, what did you gain from this trip to the Sword Tomb?"
The three of them talked as they walked towards their residence in Qingfeng Tower.
On the way, Zhiling scratched her head and chuckled, "Sister Feng Qing, I don't know either."
“…”
Feng Qing's mouth twitched slightly. He wondered what this meant.
"Zhi Ling's situation is rather special, but my gains are very good. Here, this is a gift for you!" As he said that, Jiang Deng took off the sword hanging on his waist and handed it to Feng Qing.
The Heavenly Grade Spirit Sword has already developed intelligence. Unless it is taken as one's natal sword and stored in one's body, it cannot be placed in a storage bag and can only be hung on the body.
Fortunately, Zhuxie Sword is a stutterer and speaks very little. If it were replaced by a long-winded sword spirit, Jiang Deng would definitely be annoyed.
"This, this is a heavenly grade spiritual sword, right?" Feng Qing said in shock.
As the little princess of the Fenglan Empire, she was not inexperienced and could tell at a glance that the Sword of Evil-Slaying was extraordinary. Such a powerful sword could probably not be purchased even with the entire national wealth of the Fenglan Empire.
And the Peak Master just gave it to her so easily?
Feng Qing stared at the Zhuxie Sword eagerly, but did not dare to reach out to take it.
"Take it," Jiang Deng stuffed it directly into Feng Qing's arms, "I'm sure I have a better one. Don't worry, just take this sword as your life sword!"
Even Feng Qing, who usually has a cold personality, couldn't help but be moved to tears.
After such a long time together, the Peak Master treated her even better than her father, the emperor, mother, and brother. Now, he went to the sword tomb and brought her a heavenly-grade spirit sword...
Feng Qing clenched his fists and said with certainty, "Peak Master, I will definitely repay you in the future!"
She remembered that there was an underground palace under the imperial palace of Fenglan Empire, which seemed to contain some treasures. Every time her father went in secretly without telling anyone... It can be seen how precious the things hidden in it were!
Feng Qing wished she could learn everything immediately, rebel against her father, take out the treasures in the underground palace, and give them to the Peak Master to repay him for giving her a new life!
Jiang Deng didn't take Feng Qing's promise to heart, and just laughed it off, "Okay, okay, I believe you. First, take the Zhuxie Sword as your natal sword. You should spend the next few days getting used to the Zhuxie Sword. You will also participate in the sect competition in three days."
"Well! I will definitely not embarrass you, Peak Master, when the time comes!" Feng Qing nodded and placed his spiritual consciousness close to the Sword of Evil Execution.
When the Zhuxie Sword realized that Feng Qing not only had a Yin spiritual root but also a pure Yin spiritual body, it immediately signed a contract with Feng Qing and became Feng Qing's natal sword.
The Zhuxie Sword couldn't be more satisfied with the new owner Jiang Deng found for it.
Although Yin spiritual roots are not as rare as Tian spiritual roots, Yin spiritual roots combined with a pure Yin spiritual body are the most likely to attract evil spirits. The more evil spirits you kill, the more beneficial it will be for the Sword of Evil-Slaying to improve its strength.
If it could kill the evil spirits at the Venerable level, it might even become a legendary divine sword!
Feng Qing picked up the Zhuxie Sword and swung it with just the right amount of force, and it really went very smoothly.
"By the way," Jiang Deng used his spiritual sense to scan the empty Qingfeng Tower and asked, "Is Zhan Ji not back yet?"
"No." Feng Qing shook her head. "There's no need to worry, right? Zhan Ji always came back early the next morning. She probably won't be back tonight."
As he was speaking, Jiang Deng suddenly noticed that someone passed through the mountain-protecting sword formation, but the sword formation was not triggered, so the person was Zhan Ji.
Sure enough, not long after, Zhan Ji came over.
She was dressed even more fancy than usual, with a head full of hair accessories, which made people wonder if her slender neck could bear the weight. The strangest thing was that she walked unsteadily, pausing every two steps, as if she was tired.
That’s not right…Zhan Ji is now a cultivator who has entered the Qi Refining Realm. How could she get tired after walking for a while?
Jiang Deng frowned slightly, keenly aware that something was wrong.
"You're all back..."
Zhan Ji looked up at Jiang Deng and Jiang Zhiling, then quickly lowered her head. She raised her hands to cover her face and said in a vague voice, "I'm tired. I'll go back to my room and sleep first."
Jiang Deng didn't point it out. "Well, then, you should rest early. If you have any problems, just take a good sleep. If you really can't get through it, we can help you."
"good……"
Zhan Ji's voice swallowed even harder, and she tried her best to keep her tone the same as usual, "Um, Jiang Deng, can I still leave Zangfeng in the future?"
"Of course." Jiang Deng nodded, "You can go out anytime you want."
"Thank you..." Zhan Ji's voice was barely audible.
Jiang Deng and the other two kept their eyes on Zhan Ji's back until she walked into Qingfeng Tower and they could no longer see her figure.
"Sister, have you seen Sister Zhan Ji's face..." Jiang Zhiling looked in the direction where Zhan Ji left, her face full of confusion and puzzlement.
Jiang Deng sighed. There were obvious marks of being beaten on Zhan Ji's face, but she had been trying her best to cover it up, obviously not wanting them to see it.
Could it be that something was wrong between Zhan Ji and her Taoist partner? But Zhan Ji didn't want to talk about it now, and they had no other choice.
Jiang Deng frowned slightly, thinking of the question Zhan Ji asked before she left. She felt that Zhan Ji might leave Zangfeng again tonight. Perhaps then she could follow her and see what was going on...
