The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 251 Leaving a Mess
The murderous aura emanating from Lang Jiuchuan was so thick that it alarmed Gong Qi. But what alarmed him even more was what she said. The guardian of the formation did not refute her statement. Therefore, the wonder of this formation truly lies in using the merits and vows of heroic spirits to nourish the dragon vein and enrich the nation's fortune.

The Kingdom of Dadan has existed for two hundred years, and its national fortune has never declined. Is this one of the reasons?

Gong Qi suddenly felt his throat dry, his face burning, and his head buzzing. The ancestors of the Xuan Clan had actually done something so contrary to the laws of nature, which went against the principles they were supposed to uphold.

Never say that those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. This means that even after people die, they should be used to squeeze out their last bit of value, so that they cannot even be reborn in the Pure Land after death. This is not a trifle, but a deviation from the Way.

What? Everything is for the sake of the nation's destiny?

Every dynasty has its own destiny. If the ruler is strong and benevolent, the country will produce many talented people, and the successor will be able to carry on the legacy of his ancestors and govern the country effectively, the nation will naturally prosper. However, it is impossible for a dynasty to remain prosperous forever. No matter what world it is, no dynasty has ever been able to remain prosperous forever.

Therefore, using the power of heroic spirits to nourish the dragon vein and improve the nation's fortune is simply untenable.

But was Lang Jiuchuan's murderous aura solely due to his perception of the truth?

Lang Jiuchuan stared at Zixiaozi and said, "You've been guarding this formation the whole time, which means the Tantai royal family has known about its existence all along?"

"Of course, I advise you to leave peacefully. Otherwise, if the Xuan Clan pursues the matter, you will not be able to bear the consequences." Zi Xiaozi was unaware of Lang Jiuchuan's background. Seeing the murderous aura on her, he was afraid that she would go crazy and attack him, so he wisely refrained from provoking her.

Lang Jiuchuan smiled: "Pursue? Does your master know you're secretly intercepting this bit of wish power?"

Zixiaozi's expression changed, and his eyes flickered.

"What a coincidence, he's also from the Xuan Clan." Lang Jiuchuan patted Gong Qi on the shoulder: "We're one of our own. What do you think he'll do if he lets those people from the Enforcement Hall take you away and try to steal your merits and vows for his own use?"

what?
Zixiaozi looked at Gong Qi with surprise and doubt in his eyes.

Gong Qi looked at Lang Jiuchuan with a hint of helplessness. "What do you want?"
Lang Jiuchuan looked over with a cold expression, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

Gong Qi took out a token representing his identity and said, "I am a disciple of the Gong family."

Zixiaozi naturally recognized the identity tokens of each race. After looking at them carefully, he said, "Since we're all one family, why don't we talk things out?"

"Did the other tribes know about Tantai's setup?"

Zixiaozi looked at Lang Jiuchuan with apprehension and said, "Of course I know."

“Nonsense, I’ve never heard of that,” Gong Qi retorted angrily.

Zixiaozi sat up, sneered, and endured the excruciating pain in his body, saying, "This formation was personally set up two hundred years ago by Master Tongda, who had already reached the Foundation Establishment realm. It is a formation within a formation, which makes the power of heroic spirits endless. At that time, in addition to Ancestor Tantai Jing, there were also Gong Wuyu from the Gong family, Feng Changsheng from the Feng family, and Rong Taicong from the Rong family, all of whom lent a helping hand. This is also the origin of the close ties between the major Xuan clans."

The participation of all Xuan clan members emphasizes mutual checks and balances; only by sharing a secret can they better unite as one.

Gong Qi's face turned pale. The names he mentioned were all the ancestors of several families.

He looked at Lang Jiuchuan, stammering, "I really don't know..."

Zixiaozi said, "Of course you don't know. How old are you? This technique... is not suitable for outsiders to know. Only the old folks know about it, and it won't be easily spread."

A strange thought flashed through his mind as he stared at Lang Jiuchuan: "You asked such detailed questions and have glimpsed the intricacies of this formation. What do you intend to do? If you want to destroy the formation, I advise you not to be delusional. This concerns the fate of the nation, and you cannot bear the consequences of the nation's decline."

Gong Qi: This is bad!
That old geezer is trying to act like a god on a tigress's head.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Lang Jiuchuan laughed, though the laughter didn't reach his eyes. He said, "The decline of the nation has nothing to do with me. This nation is under my rule or in my chaotic times, neither. If it is declining, it is because the ruler is incompetent, the court is inactive, and the officials are lazy and irresponsible. Only when the court is corrupt will it decay. The existence of this formation proves that the Xuan Clan is immoral and has lost its way. It is because you imprisoned the heroic spirits and defied the harmony of heaven that the karma has backfired. Even if I kill you, I am just doing justice for heaven."

As she spoke, she rang the bell at him again.

Zixiaozi let out another miserable scream, his breath even weaker: "You, you dare..." Lang Jiuchuan still wanted to step forward, but Gong Qi reached out and stopped him, saying, "Don't be impulsive."

Lang Jiuchuan looked at her with murderous intent: "You want to protect him?" She said sarcastically: "That's right, you're all on the same side anyway."

Gong Qi said in a deep voice, "He is just a guardian of the formation. If he suddenly dies at your hands, you, and even the Lang family, will be in trouble."

Lang Jiuchuan's expression turned cold.

The two locked eyes, sparks flying between them.

Zixiaozi tried to sneak away, but before he could run, the two of them seemed to have eyes all over their bodies. One swung the Soul-Locking Chain, and the other threw a talisman at him.

Bang.

Zixiaozi was blown unconscious.

Gong Qi: "..."

His expression was speechless. Seeing that Zixiaozi was not far from death, he asked, "What exactly are you angry about? Is it because you are indignant about the actions of the Xuan Clan, or something else?"

Lang Jiuchuan glanced coldly at the dragon vein, but said nothing.

She herself couldn't explain why she felt such grief and indignation. She knew it wasn't just because the great formation prevented the spirits from being reborn, but there was a bigger reason, which she didn't know.

The missing one soul and two spirits must be the source of her missing memories.

Who she is, what happened to her, all reside within that one soul and two spirits.

The less one knows, the more resentful one becomes, and the stronger one's aggression grows.

Jiang Che, having held back for a long time, whispered, "Gong Qi has a point. This is a tricky matter, so please don't act rashly. You already decided that you wouldn't take action until you figured out why you were trapped. Don't act impulsively out of anger and implicate your family."

"Shut up!" Lang Jiuchuan said, extremely annoyed.

Jiang Che dared not utter a sound.

Lang Jiuchuan was well aware that this matter had become tricky, even restrictive, but she was determined to help these three thousand heroic spirits, especially after learning the reason for their imprisonment.

She watched as the merits and vows floated towards the dragon vein, her eyes stinging. Two hundred years had passed, and they had actually been squeezed dry.

We can tell by observing that Fuqi's soul begins to weaken.

Even if she doesn't save them, they won't be able to hold on for much longer.

Yes.

Whether she crosses the barrier or not, they will all disappear from this formation sooner or later. Since that's the case, why wait until the very last moment?
The fact that Fu Qi would emerge from the formation and find her is a way out given to them by Heaven; it is the will of Heaven. Whatever she does is simply in accordance with the will of Heaven.

The so-called Xuan Clan, do they dare to fight against the heavens?
Lang Jiuchuan's eyes brightened. He turned around, glanced at Zixiaozi, and then looked at Gong Qi: "Since he is one of yours, then return him to you. Take him back and give him to Young Master Gong, and let's see what he has to say."

Gong Qi: "..."

Is she trying to dump a mess?
Ah Jiu's character is completely different from Xi Jie's, and her strength is also gradual. I really wanted the story to be distinct, afraid that it would be the same as the previous books. The small unit stories were also repeatedly polished, and I didn't want to repeat what appeared in the previous books. Well, that's it. If I don't write it well, I'm a slacker. That's all!
