Shen Yin Deng had lived for far too long. Without timely replenishment of her strength, she too would eventually be submerged in the long river of history.
If she did not want to die, she had to obtain more energy.
As a Red Umbrella of the Karmic race, she possessed abilities such as creating illusions, controlling mushrooms, and absorbing Demon Force.
If she could cooperate with Master Cang Hong and the others to defeat Si Teng, she could reap the benefits as the third party, seize Si Teng's energy, and complete her own ascension in rank. By then, she would be able to live even longer.
Perhaps she might even achieve immortality.
After all, she had heard of Si Teng's strength as early as the Republic of China era. She had even encountered a crisis back then, and Si Teng had been involved in it.
As for Si Teng,
she both hated and feared her, while also envying and resenting her.
If Si Teng could die, she would applaud with delight and seize Si Teng's origin without the slightest hesitation.
The Karmic race only needs me. Si Teng, you should go die in peace.
She had concealed her identity so well. Look at how she had interacted with Bai Jin and the others at such close range, yet they remained completely unaware.
And Si Teng?
The moment she appeared,
everyone learned of her.
Bai Jin, Shen Yin Deng, Master Cang Hong, and the others arrived in the Suzhou-Hangzhou Region.
However,
it was difficult for them to meet Ding Ling and Si Teng.
At the time, Ding Ling and Si Teng were newlyweds in the middle of their honeymoon. They stayed in the estate every day and did not go out at all.
They waited for more than a month.
