The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 430 Counter-attack, actually suppressing dissent

Evil and heretical, they are intolerable to the laws of heaven!
"They should be executed, they should be exterminated."

"Burn her to death!"

Among the onlookers, someone followed Tantai Cong's words and started a commotion, inciting the crowd to shout angrily at her.

This has provoked public outrage and led to the people's condemnation of her!

How disgusting! How annoying!
Lang Jiuchuan's fist hardened.

She really doesn't like verbal battles; they're too exhausting. She prefers to confront things head-on and settle things once and for all.

She raised her eyes, looked at Lang Zhengping who was blocking her way, and then glanced at the Lang brothers who were surrounding her on both sides. She pursed her pink lips.

Just as the armored commander waved his hand and was about to close in with his men, Lang Jiuchuan stepped forward, grabbed Lang Zhengping by the collar, pulled him behind him, and his aura surged, as if a gale had swept by, forcing Lang Zhengping and Lang Caimeng to take two steps back.

"What a fine 'unforgivable by Heaven'!" Lang Jiuchuan looked at the Taoist priests in their robes with a sneer and said, "You so-called righteous people, instead of slaying the real demons and upholding the true Way, you follow the prince to persecute a mere woman like me and surround my small manor. Is this what you call the righteous way? Or are you just taking advantage of my youth and weakness to make me easy to manipulate?"

The expressions of the Taoist priests changed. Master Miaocheng snorted coldly, flicked the whisk in his arms, and said sternly, "Stop making excuses! Master Zhishang comes from the Quanzhen School and is skilled in divination. He is a high-ranking Taoist priest. How could he slander a mere woman like you? You used a strange soul to possess this body. The magic you used was evil. Your actions are harming the innocent. The evidence is conclusive."

"May I ask what the evidence is? Is it these rumors from the streets, or..." She looked at the high and mighty Tantai Cong and said, "Or is it that this young master of the royal family is spouting nonsense, abusing his power and position to try to kill me just to please his fiancée?"

Before Tantai Cong could erupt in fury, she blurted out, "That's right! Back at Qingyang Temple, I saw that Young Master Rong in the back mountain, seemingly possessed by a demon and losing control of his instincts. Could she be trying to kill me to silence me? It's a complete injustice! My Lang family, my Lang Jiuchuan, have no grudge against her, and I haven't told anyone about her demonic possession or loss of control. Why would she want to kill me? Isn't she afraid of incurring the karmic debt of killing?"

What? Young Master Rong has gone mad again?

Tantai Cong's expression changed drastically, and without thinking, he threw a talisman at the enemy: "How dare you talk nonsense! How dare you, a demon, accuse Young Master Rong! You're trying to confuse the situation, take this talisman!"

Oh, he threw the talisman first!

Lang Jiuchuan also unleashed a talisman, which collided directly with Lang Jiuchuan's talisman. The two talismans collided in mid-air, producing a loud bang.

The crowd gasped in surprise.

The two talismans exploded together, and the guards in front of Lang Jiuchuan were the first to be burned by the talisman fire, letting out a scream.

Lang Jiuchuan, on the other hand, had already used his protective aura to shield himself and the people behind him.

"Go back to the manor, don't hold me back." Lang Jiuchuan turned around and shouted.

Lang Zhengping saw her cold eyes, his lips moved slightly, and he allowed the children to go in on the orders of the head of the family, while he stood a few steps behind her.

As the wisp of smoke dissipated, Tantai Cong's still-childish face was filled with shock and anger. He had been provoked!
"Demon, you really are..."

"Which evil spirit dares to use the Gangzheng Talisman with its body and soul?" Lang Jiuchuan interrupted him. Her eyes turned cold, and with a flick of her sleeve, she held a small copper coin sword full of ancient Taoist charm in her hand. It was something she had temporarily taken from Tongtian Pavilion.

With a flick of her wrist, a golden light suddenly shot out, pointing directly at Tantai Cong's brow: "You call me a demon, yet you won't let me say that Young Master Rong has gone mad and devoured other people's souls. You're really protective of your own. But whether I'm a demon or not isn't determined by your words alone; it depends on whether Heaven will tolerate me!"

She twirled her sword, its light like a rainbow, radiating righteous energy, devoid of any trace of malevolence. When she pointed it at his brow, it felt as unbearable as being burned by yang fire.

Tantai Cong's face turned pale; he was so frightened that he couldn't move. He sensed the killing intent contained within the righteous sword energy!
She wanted to kill him!

How dare she?
"Stop hurting people!" Master Miaocheng swung his whisk at them.

Lang Jiuchuan turned his sword tip and swung it at Lang Jiuchuan's horsetail whisk. The sharp sword energy seemed to cleave the whisk in half, and the whisk tail that fell to the ground spontaneously combusted without fire.

Master Miaocheng's expression changed slightly. Holding the whisk, he was forced back a step.

Lang Jiuchuan sneered: "What? You, a righteous sect, can't even withstand a single sword strike from me, yet you dare to call me a demon? Do the Three Pure Ones know that you cultivate the Tao with brains full of water?"

"You!" Daoist Miaocheng was furious. His face turned ashen as he looked at the ashes of Chenwei on the ground. He was about to speak when he saw the woman take a step forward, and he was so startled that he took a step back.

Lang Jiuchuan glanced contemptuously at him and the few Taoists not far from him, and said, "How about it? No matter how bad your Taoist skills are, you can see that my sword is a copper coin sword that can slay demons and exorcise evil, right? I am a demon, using a magic weapon to slay demons and exorcise evil. Do you think I'm stupid? Or are you all blind, and even if you see it, it's as if you don't see it?"

With a thought, the copper coin sword in her hand flew out and spun above her head. The sword energy emanated from it, causing the guards not far away to turn pale.

However, Lang Jiuchuan was completely unaffected. She made a hand seal and struck the copper coin sword. With a hum, the sword energy soared into the sky, circled around everyone's heads, and then landed back in her hand. The humming sound continued, making the copper coins on the sword clink and jingle.

Lang Cai Zhao, who was clinging to the gate of the mansion and peeking out, had her eyes shining. Good heavens, my ninth sister is so amazing!

Fortunately, he didn't foolishly believe she was a demon, otherwise the sword would have chopped off his head!

"You have all mobilized such a large force today, even inciting the people to surround my manor. You are simply using insidious and despicable means, under the guise of eliminating evil, to suppress dissidents! The Xuan Clan, haven't they always treated cultivators who refuse to be recruited and are rebellious in the same way? Haven't you all become someone's worshipped disciples because of this!"

Her voice was loud and clear, reaching the ears of the people and causing them to quiet down and ponder.

Their expressions changed again.

Lang Jiuchuan gripped the copper coin sword, his voice cold: "This copper coin sword of mine comes from the orthodox Taoist tradition and is treasured by the Tongtian Pavilion. I use this sword to prove my Dao. If I were a demon, who in the world would dare to claim to be the righteous one?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!

The situation has taken a turn for the worse.

Tantai Cong's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Even if you can wield the copper coin sword, you are defying the principles of Yin and Yang by possessing another soul, which is against the laws of Heaven!"

"What evidence do you have to say that I am a possessed soul?" Lang Jiuchuan's eyes were icy as he said, "Did Young Master Rong tell you that my body was already killed by her and my soul was devoured by her, so I am now a possessed soul?"

Come on, let's tear off the mask if we don't want to be polite, since everyone's already shown their true colors!

Everyone: "?"

Isn't there a lot of information in this statement?
"No matter how eloquent you are, you were born with a death wish; you're already dead and can't possibly still be alive!" A voice suddenly interrupted.
