The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 388 Personal Background Revealed
Although Zheng Yangzi and A Piao had never been to the Nine Nether Hell, they now felt as if they were already in hell, chilled to the bone, terrified, and dared not take a step closer to Lang Jiuchuan.

It's so cold!
When she recounted the evils of the Rong family, she was like a judge, holding a book of merits and demerits, judging the evildoers and sentencing them with a single stroke. Her cold and fierce aura surged, making people afraid to breathe.

Zheng Yangzi felt his soul tremble and said, "We were merely following orders..."

Bullshit about obeying orders.

Lang Jiuchuan's violent and murderous aura surged into the sky, sweeping towards Zheng Yangzi, aiming to annihilate him.

Although the ghost was also afraid of her rage, it still stepped forward to stop her, repeating its old point, "It's better to keep him alive than to kill him."

Lang Jiuchuan looked over; her eyes were bloodshot, and there seemed to be golden light flowing in them.

"Think about your father's situation. He's dead, so there's no way to prove anything. Even causing trouble won't go so smoothly now," the ghost coaxed her.

Lang Jiuchuan walked to the side, closed her eyes slightly, and silently recited the calming mantra twice to calm her anger. She knew that this emotion contained half of the original owner's resentment, but shouldn't it be like this?

Who wouldn't feel resentment and hatred after such a tragic death?
Even though his mortal enemy is right in front of him, he still wishes he could grind his soul to dust, even though the enemy is already dead.

Lang Jiuchuan knew perfectly well that Apiao was right. Keeping Zhengyangzi as a witness would be a way out when dealing with the Rong family in the future. But keeping such a scoundrel in front of her to pierce her heart was really unpleasant for her!

The consequence of his displeasure was that Lang Jiuchuan set fire to the place again.

Zheng Yangzi's soul was already somewhat scattered, and he couldn't help but roar, "Let's just end it all and let my soul be scattered to the winds!"

It's better than having a burst of fiery energy burn your soul every now and then!
Upon hearing this, Lang Jiuchuan actually calmed down and sneered, "Dying so easily would be too good for you. You should also experience the despair of that child."

Zheng Yangzi shuddered.

Lang Jiuchuan looked at him coldly and said, "Tell me all the secrets that the Rong family keeps hidden. If I'm in a good mood, I might let you go to the underworld alive and well in the future."

This is just a pie in the sky, a pipe dream.

Zheng Yangzi didn't actually believe it, but he didn't dare to self-destruct his primordial spirit. After all, who wouldn't cling to life if there was even the slightest hope of survival?

Perhaps one day he will outmaneuver this witch and escape from her clutches?
Zheng Yangzi is not a true descendant of the Rong family, but merely an elder of the ancestral temple. The two sides are actually bound by a relationship of mutual benefit. Now that his physical body is dead and his soul is in grave danger, he certainly cannot be said to be loyal to the Rong family. Otherwise, he would not have made such a vow so easily before.

Especially since the Rong family used him as a scapegoat after his death, how could he possibly cover for them?
"What do you want to know? I can tell you anything I know," Zheng Yangzi said in a low, humble voice.

Ah Piao shook his head slightly. Back then, he had almost injured himself with a single arrow while holding the Bagua bow. His former glory was gone, and he was now truly like a stray dog.

A righteous Taoist from the Zhengyi sect, after spending so many years in the Xuan clan, has completely lost his integrity and upright character!
The ghost scoffed mockingly.

Lang Jiuchuan wasn't in a hurry to dig up other secrets of the Rong family; he first asked who was involved on the night the original owner was killed.

“Besides me, there’s also Master Lingxu,” Zhengyangzi said. “He is also one of the only two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in the Rong family.” Apiao raised an eyebrow and sneered, “To send out such a powerful elder just to attack a little girl who can’t even kill a chicken, you must really value her.”

"To remove the Dao tendons and spiritual bones without any damage, there can be no mistakes. After all, they are to be used to support the young master, so we must be absolutely sure of success. Besides, the young master's broken tendons and bones are a highly confidential matter. The patriarch would not trust ordinary disciples to handle this matter, and they do not have the ability."

Lang Jiuchuan, however, was concerned about the original owner's soul and asked, "If that's the case, why would you still need to bind the soul?"

"According to Fourth Madam's wishes, her soul should be smashed to pieces and never be reincarnated." Zheng Yangzi, no longer acting like a Rong family elder, didn't hide anything and said, "She looked at that child as if she were her father's killer. Now that I think about it, it's a bit strange. Otherwise, how could she be so vicious? She could have easily removed the child without her coming, but she insisted on watching it happen herself, saying it was for the young master's sake. Who knows if there's another reason behind it?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Lang Jiuchuan.

This tone suggests a possible attempt to incite and divert attention from the source of hatred.

Seeing that Lang Jiuchuan seemed unmoved, he said sullenly, "It is the young master's intention to restrain the soul."

Lang Jiuchuan's expression turned cold: "Rong Huanxuan was also present?"

This was truly an unexpected bonus.

Ah Piao frowned, a mocking look on her face: "Since she's in trouble, she should be resting. Besides, given her status, and with servants like you running errands for her, why would she come in person? Doesn't she mind getting her hands dirty?"

"I don't know then. In short, Lingxu and I originally only planned to remove the bones and tendons as the family head wished. We never thought of killing them, as it would be against the natural order and we were afraid of the karmic consequences."

Lang Jiuchuan laughed angrily: "You dare to say such things? No matter how afraid you are, you are still burdened with this karmic debt."

Zheng Yangzi smiled wryly: "That's why I attracted you."

Lang Jiuchuan scoffed and asked again, "Are you outwardly complying with the Rong family head's demands while inwardly disobeying him? Does he know about it?"

"I know. It was the Madam and the Young Master who went to apologize in person. Although the Patriarch was also angry, he didn't say anything. He just helped the Young Master to set his bones and start cultivating again."

The ghost wondered, "Will this really work?"

"How could it be useless? I've observed that Your Excellency has also made numerous repairs to this body, yet you still manage to walk among mortals." Zheng Yangzi nodded, looking at Lang Jiuchuan, and said, "As I said, if someone were to guide this body into the Daoist path, its innate wisdom would be no less than that of Young Master Rong. Moreover, your body and Young Master Rong should have a blood connection, so there was no rejection when the tendons and bones were repaired."

"What do you know?" Lang Jiuchuan's eyes were as deep as an icy pool.

"When the tendons and bones were reconnected, there was not only no rejection, but it also blended in very easily. As you know, using someone else's tendons and bones to enter the body requires extremely high cultivation to suppress it with spiritual power and force a fusion. But she just experienced a qi deviation and her cultivation regressed, so there's no question of suppressing it with spiritual power. That leaves only one thing: bloodline. When bloodlines merge, this kind of tendon and bone reconnection will not have great rejection and can blend in much faster." Zheng Yangzi said calmly, "Although Your Excellency's appearance is quite different now, before, you did resemble Young Master Rong somewhat."

He looked at Lang Jiuchuan and said, "Every family has some secrets that are not known to outsiders. Even people of our status would not know everything. Lingxu and I have never investigated it in depth, but we both agree that you are probably of Rong family blood."

That's why they felt regret and were puzzled by the family head's decision. If he had known earlier that this woman was from the Rong family and had such talent, why didn't he take her back to train her earlier, instead of using her to strengthen the young master?
　I'm not feeling well, so anxious!
