The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 439 Do you think a dog can change its nature of eating shit?
A single word of praise left Master Mingqing completely stunned!

"What are you saying, Fellow Daoist Lang? I didn't say that..."

Lang Jiuchuan said calmly, "Among so many seniors here, which one of them hasn't been practicing the Dao for many years and has a more profound cultivation than I, a mere nobody? Yet you insist on praising me. Are you deliberately pushing me to my death, or are you looking down on these seniors and deliberately using me as a raft to belittle them?"

Ming and Qing Dynasties: "?"

Almost everyone's eyes were on him, and the hostility in their eyes was obvious.

Ming Qing's face darkened: "I didn't mean that at all. Why did Fellow Daoist Lang misunderstand me like this? I haven't offended you, have I?"

"Perhaps it's because my affinity with you, fellow Daoist, isn't deep enough, which is why I always feel that I don't quite like you," Lang Jiuchuan said with a half-smile.

Everyone: "..."

Is this something that can be said openly?

Ming Qing's face was so dark it was almost unbearable. He snorted coldly, not going along with her words, and said, "Wasn't it you, Fellow Daoist Lang, who mentioned the Ten Thousand Souls Fiend? No one here could discover that the Water Demon wanted to cultivate the Ten Thousand Souls Fiend. You discovered it, so isn't it normal for me to ask you?"

"You're not asking me, you're pushing me to deal with that water demon. If I'm not skilled enough, I'll just be sent to my death, which will relieve your master's worries." Lang Jiuchuan sneered, "And you can take credit for it, and even spread the word that the so-called female Dao under the Golden Lotus Proof is nothing more than this."

"You are slandering me!"

"What master?" Gong Qi looked at Ming Qing. Wasn't this the person next to Daoist Zhi Shang?
Lang Jiuchuan feigned surprise and said, "He is a disciple of the Rong family. Fellow Daoist Gong, you don't know?"

Ming Qing's expression changed slightly as he looked at Lang Jiuchuan. Meeting her dark, deep eyes, which seemed to see through everything, sent a chill down his spine. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "I am one of you all, so please don't change the subject, Fellow Daoist Lang. Besides, this is a matter of life and death. Is this the time to argue about something unrelated to the Water Demon?"

A Taoist priest from the Feng family also stepped forward and said, "That's right. This water demon cultivates the Ten Thousand Souls Demon and has already harmed countless souls. The most important thing is to eliminate it first to prevent more people from losing their lives."

"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Lang, do not be modest. Since you can see through the Myriad Souls Fiend, your Daoist skills are truly superb. Do you have any clever methods to deal with this evil creature? Please share them."

Ming Qing breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps back, and intended to listen quietly to Lang Jiuchuan's plan.

Lang Jiuchuan pointed at him and said, "I do have a plan, but I am unwilling to work with the Rong family. Please leave for now, fellow Daoist."

This is relentlessly pursuing the Ming and Qing dynasties!
Ming Qing sneered: "Fellow Daoist Lang keeps saying that I am a member of the Rong family, and that he has a lot of opinions about the Rong family."

"They spread rumors about me, saying I'm a demon. How could I smile and call them brothers? It's just that I'm too young and haven't mastered the essence of Taoism, so I haven't learned how to be magnanimous. I'm a very petty person. I remember everyone who gets on my bad side!"

Ming and Qing sarcastically remarked, "Fellow Daoist Lang, you're so young, yet you can spout nonsense and slander others so casually?"

"Oh, so you know it's not good to slander people randomly? Then why did you imply to Daoist Zhishang that I am a demon, and that it wasn't your idea, but rather that you were acting on orders from your master? Now that I haven't said anything about the Rong family, why are you rushing to protect your master?" Lang Jiuchuan looked at him coldly.

"You!" Ming Qing was filled with surprise and doubt, not for anything else, but for the meaning behind her words. How could she know?
Lang Jiuchuan looked at Gong Qi: "I don't work with the Rong family because I'm afraid of dying. Who knows if they'll secretly plot to stab me in the back!"

Ming Qing said with a cold face, "It is the duty of us to punish evil and uphold justice. Fellow Daoist Lang is judging the Xuan Clan's sense of justice with a petty mind."

“Yes, Fellow Daoist Lang, this is all a misunderstanding. The Rong family is of righteous origin, how could they do such despicable things as you say?” Someone frowned when they saw Lang Jiuchuan throwing a childish tantrum at this moment. Lang Jiuchuan laughed and happened to see a stray dog ​​outside the mortuary gnawing on a pile of excrement, so he pointed over: “Look.”

Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing, and there was only a skinny dog ​​there. What was there to look at?

"Can a dog change its nature of eating shit?" Lang Jiuchuan chuckled coldly.

Everyone: "!"

You used really foul language!
Gong Qi coughed lightly, covering his mouth with his fist, and said, "If Daoist Mingqing has a righteous heart and wants to help, why not help patrol the riverbank to see if anyone else has fallen into the water? This is all part of our plan; we can't let anyone else die needlessly. What do you say?"

Ming Qing's chest heaved with anger. He glanced coldly at Lang Jiuchuan before turning and leaving.

Lang Jiuchuan, seeing that things were going well, said, "To be honest, there isn't really a plan. What we should do is, regardless of whether the water demon succeeds or not, we must break its cultivation path, guide the deceased souls into the River of Oblivion, restore the Qiong River to its former clear waters, and let the people live in peace and prosperity without worrying about whether they will be the next to die."

Everyone nodded in agreement; that made sense.

Lang Jiuchuan counted on his knuckles and said, "Tonight at midnight, if any of you fellow Daoists are born in the years of the Tiger, Dragon, Horse, or Dog, how about we set up the Eight Trigrams Demon-Subduing Formation together to slay it?"

“My zodiac sign is Tiger, and I dare to fight alongside Fellow Daoist Lang.” Yi Ce was the first to step forward.

"Count me in."

"And I."

People started to walk out.

Lang Jiuchuan nodded to himself, then turned and gave Gong Qi a wink. The two walked to the side, where she whispered some instructions to her.

Gong Qi was taken aback: "The Eight Trigrams Demon-Subduing Formation doesn't work?"

“We don’t yet know the true number of people harmed by this water demon. If it truly deviates from our expectations and forms an underwater ghost realm, it will be even more difficult to deal with. My actions are just in case.” Lang Jiuchuan sighed and looked at the row of corpses in the mortuary. One of them was a young boy who had been dead for only two or three days. He said, “In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are needed. If it really comes to this, after this matter is over, I will personally hold a three-day water and land ritual to help him pass on to the afterlife and enter the cycle of reincarnation.”

Gong Qi nodded in agreement and added, "Don't worry, if anyone has any objections to this matter in the future, it will be my suggestion and has nothing to do with you."

Lang Jiuchuan smiled and said, "Also, keep an eye on the Rong family."

“They wouldn’t dare to make any underhanded moves at this juncture!” Gong Qi said coldly. “If they dared, they would be standing against the righteous path of the world and against the people, unless they wanted to take the evil path.”

Lang Jiuchuan, however, disagreed, saying, "The Rong family is dirtier and more disgusting than you imagine. If they want to kill me, they will do everything in their power to find a way. In short, keep an eye out for them, even if it's just to be a witness for me."

Gong Qi was a little curious and asked, "What did the Rong family do to offend you that you're talking about them to the death?"

Lang Jiuchuan said casually, "Let's put it this way: I will never share the same sky with the Rong family!"
