The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 452 Confirms Her Fate as a Husband-Killing Woman

The hour is approaching.

Master Ruoxu had a circle of talismans, copper coins, swords, and other items for exorcising evil beside him. He sat calmly in his sleeping quarters, forming hand seals and meditating.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept in, causing Master Ruoxu's Taoist robe to flutter wildly. His brow twitched, and he heard the clanging of chains against each other.

But what terrified him even more was the mournful wailing of ghosts, one cry after another, their resentment and cruelty sending chills down his spine.

The rumors outside were true; the Prince Jing's residence was indeed haunted.

Moreover, this doesn't seem like someone is playing tricks.

When Master Ruoxu opened his eyes, he looked around but saw nothing. Yet, he could still hear the ghostly wailing. He paused for a moment, then took out a talisman—a Heavenly Eye Talisman that had been dipped in a special substance before being drawn.

He made a hand seal and chanted a phrase. The Heavenly Eye Talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, turning into a golden light that entered the center of his eyebrows.

Ruoxu felt a heat rise between his brows and opened his eyes, only to see a scene he would never forget, almost causing him to urinate.

Who could tell him that the dignified Prince Jing's mansion, the residence of the imperial grandson, and even the bedroom of a half-dragon prince, could lead directly to the gates of hell?

Look at that dark, eerie gate, with the inscription "Fengdu" on it. Its sinister aura strikes straight to the heart and soul.

Before them, a hideous ghost messenger was pulling a soul-snatching chain, leading a string of new ghosts toward the gate of hell. From inside the gate, the wailing and howling of ghosts echoed, frightening the new ghosts into joining in the wailing and howling.

Master Ruoxu's face turned deathly pale.

He had been a Taoist for decades and had seen many ghosts, but this was the first time he had seen the gate to the underworld open before his eyes, and the first time he had seen such an unusual sight that led directly to the gate to the underworld.

Gulu.

He swallowed hard, and suddenly, his unusual movement attracted the attention of all the ghosts, who stared at him intently.

“He can see us.”

"Help! Master, save me!"

"Since this person actually saw the Gate of Hell open, let's just take him away too," the ghost messenger said ominously.

Master Ruoxu quickly closed his eyes and said tremblingly, "I didn't see anything, please ignore me, sir. I am willing to burn money and offer wine for you gentlemen. I apologize for bothering you, but please accept my humble offering."

The two ghost messengers exchanged a glance and snorted, "That's for the best."

Money makes the world go round, and these ghost messengers also need to be paid tribute.

Master Ruoxu smiled ingratiatingly, quickly fetched the treasure basin, asked the names of the two ghost messengers, and began burning incense and candles. Fortunately, he had prepared some of these in advance.

The ghost messenger quickly received the offerings and continued on his way, satisfied.

Seeing that they were accepting money, Master Ruoxu asked, "May I ask you two gentlemen, has this Ghost Gate and Yin Road always been open here?"

"The underworld has its own rules. How could it possibly open a path to the underworld in a human house or palace? It must be because of higher authorities..."

"If you come, be careful what you say," a ghost guard snapped, staring coldly at Ruoxu. "Don't ask questions, and don't meddle."

"Yes, yes, yes." Ruoxu hurriedly nodded and bowed, but was shocked. He had heard from Youlai that the Yin Road leading to the Gate of Hell was not originally opened here, but only recently. And who opened it? The higher-ups?

Suddenly, a strong, eerie wind arose. Two white, ghostly figures shrieked as they burst forth from the gate of hell. The two ghosts quickly dodged, exclaiming, "They're here again!"

If Xu saw the two ghostly figures, they were clearly women. Their ghostly bodies were solid, and their ghostly power was abundant. They rushed out of the Ghost Gate, their ghostly aura chilling, and headed straight into this bedroom.

not good!

With him here tonight, Prince Jing is sleeping right here, and those two ghosts were after him!

Ruoxu immediately drew his sword and took the talisman, rushing into the bedchamber. Sure enough, he saw the two female ghosts already pounced on Prince Jing and were gnawing at him. One of them turned to look at him, her ghostly eyes bloodshot, and said in a sinister tone, "No wonder Tantai Jing dared to sleep in the bedchamber. It turns out that you, you stinking Taoist priest, were meddling in other people's business."

“A dog kept by the royal family, birds of a feather, kill him.” Another female ghost snorted.

Ruoxu said in a deep voice, "Who are you, daring to escape from the underworld and cause trouble?"

The female ghost laughed loudly: "We sisters are here to avenge our grievances, not to escape from the underworld. I am Wang Ying, the primary consort of Prince Jing, and she is Chen Lan, the secondary consort. We both died from the cruelty and torture inflicted by Tantai Jing. We have come here to settle our scores, not to cause trouble."

After she finished speaking, her ghostly form transformed, revealing the gruesome state of her death. Her hands were twisted in a bizarre shape, and her lower body was covered in blood, as if she had suffered some kind of torture.

Chen Lan was in a similar situation, but even worse off; her intestines had spilled out.

If Ruoxu still had any questions, she looked at the unconscious Prince Jing and instantly understood why they were not affected by the dragon's aura or the royal family's blessings, yet they could cause such great harm to Prince Jing.

Because they were born with imperial mandates and were members of the royal family, if someone were to enlighten them, they would naturally be able to harm Prince Jing.

And who is this person? Who are they following orders? Besides the officials in the underworld, who else could make them leave the underworld on time?
Who is in charge of the Book of Merits and Demerits in Fengdu Underworld?
The Judge of the Department of Sin is in charge of the Book of Life, Death, Merit, and Demerit.

Ruoxu's hand, gripping the peach wood sword, trembled, and a chill ran down his spine. Seeing Prince Jing's unconscious screams as if he were fiddling with something, he stammered, "You are ghosts. Entering the human world is to cause chaos. If you leave now, I will spare your lives."

"Oh?" Wang Ying smiled. "So you're going against us sisters?"

Ruoxu dared not speak, saying, "One should be lenient when one can..."

"Go to hell!" Chen Lan, filled with ghostly energy, charged at him, her ghostly claws slashing at him, saying, "You dog Taoist, take this claw!"

Yin Sha's long fingernails reached for him, and Ruo Xu instinctively used his peach wood sword to block, but he failed to hurt her. Instead, he was struck by a pure and powerful divine force emanating from her body.

Ruoxu screamed and flew backward, crashing into a pillar behind him and falling down. He spat out several mouthfuls of dark blood, his soul was in excruciating pain, and his spiritual power was rapidly dissipating like air.

He looked up in horror and saw a golden book appear above the female ghost's head. He was horrified. The Judge's magic weapon, the Book of Life and Death, seemed to be both scorning him and warning him.

The judge decides merits and demerits; bystanders should refrain from interfering!

Ruoxu could no longer care about Prince Jing. He slapped his chest and fainted.

He can't control this matter!
The two female ghosts thoroughly devoured Prince Jing's body, and after watching the evil poison enter his body, they exchanged a glance, smiled at each other, and then left Prince Jing's residence, heading to their next destination.

The two ghosts floated out of the Prince Jing's mansion, but in front of the palace, they saw a slender figure standing on the roof. They stopped and bowed slightly to her.

If it weren't for her, they don't know how many years they would have had to wait to see that evil Tantai Jing, who was even more wicked than a demon, enter the underworld to be judged. Now they are able to take revenge themselves, all thanks to her for finding the judge!
"I bestow my power upon you two sisters, but please be careful!" Lang Jiuchuan transferred two points of merit to them and nodded, "Thank you for your trouble!"

The two ghosts waved and drifted away.

Lang Jiuchuan then looked in the direction of the Prince Jing's residence, a cold smile appearing on his face. Since she was said to be a cursed loner, then of course she would have to be confirmed as having a husband-killing fate!
