Chapter 387 The Truth Behind His Death

Lang Jiuchuan wants to search for souls.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yangzi's primordial spirit immediately felt weak. Soul searching was extremely taxing on the mind and vital energy, and without sufficient cultivation strength, it was impossible to rewind time. How could she possibly do it?

But, is it really not possible?
Didn't she also completely kill herself, who was at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, and even seize her soul?
His physical body was destroyed, and his primordial soul was almost completely destroyed in the soul-devouring array carved by that Vajra Pagoda. If she were to search his soul again, once she succeeded, he would be completely annihilated and disappear from the world.

Zheng Yangzi was very anxious and said, "If you are willing to let me go, I will answer whatever you want to ask without reservation."

Lang Jiuchuan remained unmoved.

She gently shook the Imperial Bell, and thunder patterns appeared, its golden light scorching like divine fire, causing the Zheng Yangzi she held in her hand to let out a shrill scream.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, okay? Please don't burn it."

"What I see with my own eyes will be more real," Lang Jiuchuan chuckled.

Zheng Yangzi said, "As long as you send me to the gates of hell, I, Zheng Yangzi, dare to swear on the Zhengyi Dao and my soul that if what I say is false, I will never be reborn, and the Zhengyi Dao will never have a chance to rise again."

There was a boom.

A muffled rumble of thunder was heard.

Lang Jiuchuan then released him and asked, "Tell me, who exactly is the master of that spirit tablet? Don't try to fool me, or I'll set it on fire."

“It is the young master of the Rong family.” Zheng Yangzi replied without thinking and quickly said, “Fourteen years ago, the young master of the Rong family was four years old. For some reason, her Dao root was somewhat unstable. Her cultivation seemed to be weak but not strong enough. She is the only Dao seed of the next generation of the Rong family. The family head gave the order and came up with the idea of ​​using the Five Elements Nine Revolutions Great Array to sacrifice and stimulate spiritual energy to support the young master.”

As he spoke, his tone was somewhat disdainful. He said, "There's a reason why the Rong family is at the bottom. All the family's glory rests on the shoulders of a little girl. Countless resources and rare treasures have been poured into her, pushing her forward step by step to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. If she hadn't been so eager for quick success, but had cultivated steadily and surely, she wouldn't have failed at the last hurdle and failed her tribulation."

Lang Jiuchuan and A Piao exchanged a glance and said, "Tribulation? Didn't Young Master Rong suffer a qi deviation while practicing his martial arts last year when the Gates of Hell opened?"

"That's one way to put it. After all, she's only at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage. To break through the Foundation Establishment tribulation, her spiritual power isn't yet at its peak. So, she can only use the time of the Hundred Ghosts Parade at Night to fuse with ghosts and refine their power to boost her spiritual power..."

Suddenly, the ghostly aura intensified, filling the entire room: "She's practicing ghost cultivation? Your Rong family is as vicious and insidious as ever, always doing such immoral things. Heaven is truly unjust; why didn't it send a bolt of lightning to strike Rong Huanxuan dead?"

His ghostly aura was so sinister that it benefited Zheng Yangzi, who took the opportunity to inhale a few breaths. He thought that if he could escape from this demoness's grasp, he could still become a ghost. With his talent, it wasn't impossible for him to become a Ghost King.

Lang Jiuchuan cast a spell, and Zheng Yangzi let out another scream.

"Be honest, I don't mind letting you experience the taste of being burned by thunder and fire." Lang Jiuchuan sneered, "Go on."

Zheng Yangzi shrank back and said, "I'll say it again, she's too eager for quick success. There aren't that many geniuses in the world. Someone like the Grand Preceptor's disciple who reached Foundation Establishment at thirteen or fourteen is a once-in-a-million genius. She thinks she's strong enough, but she doesn't realize that a building built on rare treasures and popular support is most prone to collapse." Lang Jiuchuan's brow twitched: "Someone reached Foundation Establishment at thirteen or fourteen? The Grand Preceptor's disciple?"

"Yes, Young Master Rong was so eager to achieve this after hearing about it. However, she didn't even attract the Heavenly Tribulation before falling into demonic possession, which caused her meridians to rupture, her Dao bones to collapse, her spiritual power to leak out, and her Dao heart to be greatly damaged."

Lang Jiuchuan and A Piao exchanged another glance, which matched what the deer spirit knew. Although there were some discrepancies, it was generally correct.

"The only heir's Dao heart is damaged and her Dao root is severed. This matter must not be spread, or the Rong family will be in danger. Therefore, only the top three elders and the family head know about this, and they have kept it a secret. In those few months, the Five Elements Nine Revolutions Array sent countless young boys and girls in to prolong their fortune and life force." Zheng Yangzi sighed and said, "But keeping it a secret is not a solution. If Young Master Rong's meridians and Dao bones cannot be restored, she will never be able to talk about cultivation again."

Lang Jiuchuan's heart suddenly started beating very fast, forming a closed loop.

“During those days, we were extremely anxious. We searched through many ancient Taoist scriptures, trying to find a way. Until the Fourth Madam came to the head of the family. We don’t know exactly what she said, but not two days later, the head of the family said that he had used the Great Evolution Divination Method to divine that the young master’s opportunity was with Lang Jiu Niang in Wujing…” Zheng Yangzi’s words stopped. He looked at Lang Jiu Chuan, who was covered in black energy, and his knees buckled. He knelt down: “I am already dead. You killed me. It can be considered that you have repaid the life of this body.”

Lang Jiuchuan's fierce aura subsided slightly, and he said, "Go on."

Zheng Yangzi said, "Lang Jiuniang has been living in Langjia Manor, which makes it convenient for us to carry out our plans, but it's not good for others to know about this, since the Rong family is a legitimate family in the eyes of the public."

The ghost scoffed, "They're just so-called righteous people wearing the skin of demons; they're all birds of a feather."

Zheng Yangzi was embarrassed and didn't dare to argue. He said, "We were following the orders of the patriarch. Originally, we only planned to take your spiritual bone and tendons. We were thinking of taking the bone and tendons as soon as you died. But the fourth madam disagreed, thinking that the dead were unlucky. So we took them while you were still alive."

He recalled Madam Rong's face and shook his head: "The most vicious heart is that of a woman. That child's eyes were too beautiful. Even in the most desperate moment, they did not lose their brilliance. Her hatred was still dazzling. Madam Rong personally gouged out those eyes. We did not expect that the child would be born with a third eye. This was an unexpected surprise."

Zheng Yangzi said with some regret, "What a pity for such a physique. It's a natural Dao seed. If someone had guided him into the Dao earlier, his achievements might not have been lower than Young Master Rong's... uh uh."

"You deserve to die!" Lang Jiuchuan suddenly grabbed his throat, channeling his spiritual power into his hand. The scorching heat, like a raging flame, instantly burned Zheng Yangzi.

Her body was filled with a murderous aura, and she looked furious, as if she was about to turn into a demon.

The ghost rushed over and rescued Zheng Yangzi, saying, "Don't be impulsive, he's still useful."

Zheng Yangzi nodded vigorously in fear. How terrifying! He really thought he was about to be annihilated.

It turns out that death is not the end of everything. As long as the soul is still conscious, the fear that ghosts have of the Taoist master is a tremor felt from the depths of their souls.

Celestial Master, this woman must be a Celestial Master who has attained the Great Dao!

Lang Jiuchuan glared at him coldly, his eyes as black as icy pools, as if they could pull a person in. He said, "So, in order to help Rong Huanxuan grow new bones and tendons, you dissected this child, took away her bones, severed her tendons, gouged out her eyes, and captured her soul. What a Rong family!"
