The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 365 She won't care whether they live or die.

The venerable Master Bai Kuanglin was known for his noble character and had countless students. Zuo Yan was once his student and had grown up with Bai Ning. Zuo Yan naturally respected his teacher. However, he was stunned to hear a great secret from Lang Jiuchuan. When he saw that Bai Ning had suddenly fallen to the ground, he did not ignore it and quickly ran over to help him up.

Lang Jiuchuan walked over and did nothing but tap his forehead with the talisman brush in his hand. The divine power carried by the talisman brush suppressed the karmic backlash.

It's not time for a complete reckoning yet.

Bai Kuanglin stopped convulsing, but he was old after all, and it was a backlash of karma that damaged his soul. Just that one moment made him look even older, covered with a layer of gray and deathly aura.

Zuo Yan looked at the talisman brush in Lang Jiuchuan's hand with awe. Even if he didn't know much about talismans, he knew that this must be a magic weapon, and it might even be a top-level Taoist immortal artifact, because even he, an ordinary person who was not in any danger, felt the awe it brought.

The phrase "majestic power" likely refers to this kind of magical artifact.

Zuo Yan heard his teacher groan, looked down, and was slightly startled.

He could not see any sign of death, but he could see signs of decay. Now that his teacher was showing signs of decay, he feared his days were numbered.

"Someone, please invite Dean Zhang over." Zuo Yanshang could not remain indifferent, so he called out loudly. He then looked at Lang Jiuchuan and, seeing that she did not say anything, felt a slight sense of relief, but also sighed.

He has come to a profound understanding of the so-called cause and effect and retribution today.

The two elders of the Bai family were not exactly a perfect couple, but they respected each other and seemed to be in love. Later, when his master's wife became a Buddhist and a vegetarian, he only thought that the old lady was praying for the children who had died young. He never imagined that it was because of such a secret.

If the curse hadn't already fallen upon Bai Ning, and if he hadn't cared, he probably wouldn't have revealed this secret even until his death. After all, if such a vicious and insidious thing were known, it would be like having one's spine crushed.

"Grandmaster……"

Zuo Yan had just opened his mouth when he heard the sound of Old Madam Bai collapsing behind him. He quickly looked over and felt a headache coming on.

Lang Jiuchuan walked over slowly and deliberately, and only after Old Madam Bai vomited several mouthfuls of dark blood and her eyes turned white did he suppress the karmic backlash on her.

Old Madam Bai was barely breathing, but she stared intently at the bone bell in Lang Jiuchuan's hand, as if she wanted to take it back.

After that incident, she had the bone bell as a protective charm, and she was fine for many years. But as soon as the bone bell left her body, she felt as if someone was cutting her soul with a knife, which was more painful than the knife entering her body, making her wish she were dead.

Seeing the greedy look in her eyes, Lang Jiuchuan sneered, "It seems you have no remorse. Right now, you're still only thinking about yourself, wanting to take back the bone bell to shield yourself from disaster?"

Madam Bai froze.

Zuo Yan frowned, looking at Old Madam Bai's expression, and his face immediately turned cold.

"But why should you get away with this? You made this mess of things, so why should you be the only one who suffers while your children bear all the pain and suffering? Do they owe you anything?" Lang Jiuchuan's voice was full of sarcasm.

Finally, Madam Bai couldn't hold back any longer and said in a shrill voice, "Without me, where would they be? I went through ten months of pregnancy to give birth to them and raised them with great care. I have never mistreated any of them."

"If they knew how vicious you were, they would probably only regret not being reborn somewhere else. But it's fine now, they'll only be your children for a short twenty years, and be disgusting for twenty years."

Madam Bai froze again, staring hatefully at Lang Jiuchuan, making a hoarse sound as she breathed heavily, but unable to refute him.

When Zhang, the chief physician, was brought over, Lang Jiuchuan stepped aside and did not interfere with Zuo Yan's decision to have Zhang treat the two with acupuncture. In her opinion, it was all in vain. She also did not criticize Zuo Yan, after all, he was someone's grandson-in-law, and it would be morally reprehensible for him to do nothing.

Lang Jiuchuan sat to the side, shaking a bone bell in her hand, her brows furrowed. What she found troublesome now was not the curse of the Willow Immortal, but the demon fetus.

Decades have passed, and it is unknown whether it has been encountered and killed by any powerful being. If not, what kind of existence has it been manipulated into all these years? If that Sa Ying's cultivation level is not high, will it suffer a backlash from the demon fetus it raised, just like the Corpse Zombie did back then?

The mere thought of that demonic fetus becoming a terrifying existence made her scalp tingle, and the karma on the bone bell had become completely black.

Lang Jiuchuan's face was extremely ugly. She quickly shook her head and got rid of this trouble. She was just a weak woman with a short life and poor health. She had no ability to deal with this matter. When the sky falls, it should be held up by the tall ones, like the Xuan Clan or the Surveillance Department!

Just do it.

Lang Jiuchuan felt relieved, and her brows relaxed. Indeed, one should not waste time on internal struggles. It was best to leave the problem to someone capable. She looked up and saw Zuo Yan standing to the side watching her, so she asked, "What is it?"

Zuo Yan had just seen her with a furrowed brow and a dark expression, but now she seemed to have come to a realization. He asked, "Master, what should we do now? Can this curse be broken?"

He looked at the bone bell in her hand with a wary expression.

This thing was made from the remains of that Willow Immortal. It's so black, it looks extremely ominous.

"A curse can naturally be broken, it just depends on the price to pay." Lang Jiuchuan tapped the bone bell and said, "Especially since Liu Xian's remains are still there, it can be broken even more easily."

Zuo Yan was delighted.

"However, once this curse is lifted, your wife will have to wear mourning clothes and won't even be able to produce offspring for the Duke of Dingguo's family. The Bai family will also end with this generation. What do you think, Young Master?" Lang Jiuchuan looked at the two old people who had been pricked with needles with a half-smile. She didn't care whether they lived or died.

The best way to break the curse is to let the Bai family bloodline end with Bai Ning's generation. Now that Bai Jingsong has brought this upon himself, he has already ruined himself, leaving only Bai Ning.

Therefore, if Bai Ning's side is resolved, she will never be able to have offspring with the bloodline of the Bai family, and naturally will be unable to continue the lineage of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

This is unfair to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and cruel to Zuo Yan, but this is cause and effect. What is taken away will surely be returned. Heaven understands the principle of fairness.

"Children can be adopted." Zuo Yan replied without hesitation. When he looked at the two elders of the Bai family, he pursed his lips. Then he looked back at the bone bell in Lang Jiuchuan's hand and said, "Cause and effect. What you do, you should bear the consequences. They should bear what they should bear."

Lang Jiuchuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Your Highness is righteous."

Zuo Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't deserve such praise from you, Master. It's just my own selfishness. Besides, I don't have the ability to take any responsibility for them."

He just didn't want his wife to die like that; as for the others, there was nothing he could do.

Zuo Yan withdrew his gaze, his entire being turning cold.

Lang Jiuchuan smiled with satisfaction. She hated people who couldn't think straight, but luckily this one wasn't. So, let's do it.

She held the bone bell in her hand and stood up.
