The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 446 The Half-Demon Lord, a Nest of Snakes and Rats

The person who kept the half-demon wasn't stupid; they knew how detrimental its existence would be to them, which is why they immediately notified people to come and destroy the evidence. Lang Jiuchuan wasn't stupid either; she understood what the person behind it was planning. Now that the half-demon had been destroyed, arguing was pointless. She was in a weakened state and didn't bother to argue.

But did they think that destroying the evidence would be enough? She insisted on making accusations. Whether there was evidence or not, as long as someone suffered the backlash, that was evidence. Oh, perhaps this evidence wasn't very convincing, but how do rumors spread? Aren't they all the same? They spread and spread until they became so popular that it was hard to tell if they were true or false. In the end, people remembered this whole thing!
This is one issue, and with the issues surrounding Young Master Rong, one thing after another will accumulate, causing the Rong family's credibility to decline and weaken. Once the foundation becomes unstable, the family will collapse in an instant.

The advantage of keeping a half-demon is mostly to allow the Surveillance Bureau to thoroughly investigate or for the world to know who raised him, what kind of person he is, and how hypocritical that person can be. However, she can't guarantee that the royal family won't suppress the matter because of the marriage alliance with the Rong family.

If we can't keep them now, is the loss really that big?

No.

The fact that the half-demon was killed, the contract with that person broke, and the backlash suffered by the other party was already a great gain. Nothing is better than the other party's strength being weakened and his vital energy being greatly depleted, isn't it?

And what about the punishment of five deficiencies and three lacks that she brought down upon Heaven after questioning it?
That person will surely suffer a severe blow to their vitality and their cultivation will regress!

This is enough!

If you want to kill her, you'll have to pay the price.

Therefore, Lang Jiuchuan didn't bother arguing with that damned Ruoxu. It was pointless. He should save his energy to heal his injuries. Once she recovered, he could settle this score later!

Lang Jiuchuan's indifference and disdain insulted Daoist Ruoxu. He had been high and mighty for a long time, and now being ignored by a little girl was not harmful to him, but it was a great insult.

And she, at such a young age, was able to kill a half-demon all by herself, and that was after killing a water demon!
This woman possesses extraordinary strength and is intelligent and perceptive, yet she acts unpredictably. If she were to grow up, she would undoubtedly become a major threat. No wonder the Rong family head considers her a threat and even dispatched a half-demon to eliminate her.

But is the Rong family head's eagerness, even to the point of deploying the hidden weapon of half-demon, really just because those who are not of our kind are bound to have different intentions?
Lang Jiuchuan's accusations sent a chill down many people's spines. From the rumors that she was a demon, to the trouble caused by the Marquis Tantai Congshang's mansion, which was to be married to the young master of Rong, to this incident of killing the water demon, her animosity with the Rong family has become public knowledge.

But that was a minor matter. Now she says that the Rong family is raising a half-demon and even sent it to kill her. That's a much bigger problem.

It can not be!

Gong Qi sent messages to Gong Tinglan and the Law Enforcement Hall respectively. Regardless of whether it was true or not, they had to investigate. After all, Daoist Ruoxu acted too hastily. The half-demon was clearly powerless to fight back, but as soon as he arrived, he used the Black Fiend Talisman to destroy the body and eliminate the evidence. That talisman was not easy to refine.

This is clearly a case of someone having a guilty conscience and trying to cover it up!

Ruoxu also felt that he had been too hasty, which aroused suspicion, but he didn't care. It was just a minor sect. Even if they found out about the Rong family, so what? That half-demon was captured from another evil sect, so he would have his own explanation.

Lang Jiuchuan, on the other hand, is an even more difficult troublemaker than Gong Qi!

Lang Jiuchuan's prediction was correct. It was indeed the Rong family head who was driving this half-demon to fight her. Years ago, when he was exorcising evil spirits with his father, he discovered the existence of this half-demon. Together, they killed the evil cultivator, and the half-demon was raised like a demon beast as a weapon. Over the years, they had also used him to eliminate evil spirits and even eradicate many dissidents. However, even though the half-demon had half-human blood, he had been tamed by the evil cultivator with vicious methods since birth. In order to make him more demonic, he had always been used as a weapon of slaughter, making his humanity increasingly shallow. Later, when he was captured by the Rong family, it was impossible for them to treat him as a human being. They raised him as viciously as possible.

The fiercer it is, the more powerful a weapon it becomes to them!
Indeed, this was the case. Over the decades, this half-demon had been transformed into a demon, retaining the face of a young man, but his demonic power had been increasing day by day.

The Rong family dared not expose him to the public, fearing that if he were discovered, it would tarnish the Rong family's reputation as a righteous sect. Therefore, he was kept in the Rong family's forbidden area as a secret weapon, and was only sent out when necessary.

Over the years, the half-demon had never suffered a defeat. He was invincible in every battle with humans. The Rong family head thought this time would be the same, but he did not expect to not only fail but also suffer huge losses and backlash.

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, he saw that most of his once jet-black sideburns had turned white, much of which had been burned away by lightning and fire, and that his face was now wrinkled with a bloodstain between his brows. He subconsciously circulated his internal energy and felt a sharp pain in his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood into the mirror, and his expression became increasingly listless.

"Lang Jiuchuan, you deserve to die!" He suddenly smashed the bronze mirror and then coughed violently.

The lightning struck him unexpectedly, and he had no time to react before being hit squarely. He managed to resist some of the burning power of the lightning with his cultivation, but he was still just a mortal with a cracked skin and singed hair. Most importantly, his cultivation level regressed.

The head of the Rong family has lived to this age and his life has been smooth sailing. He has never suffered such a severe blow before. This is the first time!
The other party still managed to inflict a huge loss on him remotely!
He wasn't surprised by the backlash from the contract. After all, it was a half-demon, an illegitimate offspring born from the union of a human and a willow fairy. It was an injustice that heaven and earth would not tolerate it. He had made a contract with it, and it was damaged and perished. Naturally, he would also suffer the backlash.

He never expected that lightning could strike him from a distance.

How did she do that? Her magical artifacts are at least high-level, and where did she get them from?
What alarmed him most was her strength; she could unleash tremendous power from high-level, top-tier magical artifacts, demonstrating her extraordinary abilities. Such a person was a formidable enemy of his Rong family.

It's no longer possible for the two sides to forgive and forget each other and shake hands in reconciliation. His cultivation has regressed, and he has offended this woman...

As the Rong family head grew anxious, he felt a tightness and pain in his chest, his blood surged, and dark blood gushed from the corner of his mouth.

Looking at his own weak and seemingly vulnerable reflection in the shattered glass, and then at the mad yet powerful Lang Jiuchuan, a hint of sinister anger and shock flashed in his eyes. She would definitely not let this go.

Even Ling Xu, who had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, was defeated by her. Now that his cultivation has regressed, can he fight her?

If not, then...

When the Rong family head thought of his useless heir, whose two remaining Dao roots were damaged, he was overcome with anger and grief. He fell backward, his lips pressed tightly together as his consciousness faded.

One wrong step leads to another. No matter what kind of monster she is, the Rong family cannot be suppressed like this!
