The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 481 Revenge, Count Me In!
A mangled corpse lay before them, its empty eye sockets starkly revealing its ripped-open abdomen, broken bones, and drained of blood. The hollow eye sockets silently spoke of what it had endured.

boom!
All the self-blame, pain, guilt, and overwhelming rage suddenly erupted at this moment.

"Ugh!" A shrill roar, filled with endless pain, anger, regret, and destructive desire, suddenly burst from Master Rong's mouth. The violent energy he had been suppressing could no longer be contained, and it surged out from his body, transforming into black baleful energy that attacked indiscriminately.

Gong Tinglan reacted extremely quickly, grabbing the bodies of San De and Lang Jiuchuan before they entered, and using the technique of teleportation, instantly left the circle of destruction.

Like a mother beast that has lost her cubs, Master Rong was enraged and went berserk. He slammed into the artificial rockery and everything else he could destroy. Fragments flew everywhere, leaving a mess. His murderous aura was like fire, burning the wild grass around him to ashes and then turning it into dust, which flew away in the wind.

"Xi! Yun!" He spat out the name through gritted teeth, his blood-red eyes filled with boundless hatred.

"Master!" San De looked at the madman Rong Siye not far away, his eyes red and worried. He looked at Lang Jiuchuan, who had returned to his physical body, his eyes filled with pain, but he dared not beg anything.

Seeing the way his young master died, how could he bear to say anything else?
Although Gong Tinglan knew that Lang Jiuchuan was living by possessing her body, she assumed that this was how it was because of her slender figure. She did not know that this body had died such a tragic death.
No wonder she desperately tries to accumulate merit; this is the most effective way to mend her physical body and strive for Nirvana!
Then there's Xi Yun, the fourth wife of the Rong family. As the mother of the young master, she has always been high and mighty, and arrogant. But inside that beautiful and noble body lies a heart of a viper.

Sure enough, the more beautiful a woman is, the more poisonous she is. Women are indeed not to be touched, as they may destroy your Dao heart at any time and harm others and yourself!
Master Rong is a cautionary tale.

Gong Tinglan became secretly wary.

Lang Jiuchuan watched as Master Rong went mad, his eyes calm and indifferent. How could he not go mad? His loved ones had died tragically; it would be strange if he didn't.

Seeing him enveloped in black mist, Lang Jiuchuan then rang the Imperial Bell. One rang, two rang, the bell's sound mournful, yet enough to calm a man's agitated heart.

Master Rong knelt on the ground, his ten fingers digging into the soil, tears of blood streaming down his face, endless regret engulfing him like a tidal wave.

He hated the Rong family head's cold-heartedness, who was indifferent to the interests of the family and could abandon even his own flesh and blood. He also hated Xi Yun's ruthlessness and viciousness, who, after failing to harm Ren Yao, tortured and killed their daughter to vent her hatred.

She resented that their marriage was in name only, but was it his fault? Why didn't she consider that she was innocent on their wedding night, and the head of the household was overcome by his inner demons, but that couldn't cover up the fact that they were having an affair?

This marriage was a transaction in the first place. After what happened, how could he possibly touch his father's woman?
The most ridiculous thing is that she got pregnant with Rong Huanxuan's bastard child in just one time. Isn't it enough that they put the child under their own name?

Yes, she was also at fault, but she should have vented her anger on herself instead of involving innocent people. She is also a mother with a beloved daughter, how could she do such a thing?
What Master Rong hated most was himself, his own incompetence and decadence. He could even forget about his relationship with Ren Yao. Yes, it was because he was sealed by magic, but if his soul was strong enough and he loved her deeply enough, how could he have been deceived for so many years? Not only was he unaware of Ren Yao's tragic despair, but he also knew nothing about his daughter, who had died tragically while wandering outside!
He hated even more the filthy, corrupt, ruthless, and calculating Rong family, whose existence had devoured his life and was now devouring his lover and daughter!

"Heh heh." Master Rong let out a heavy breath, his eyes fixed on the ruins in front of him.

How ridiculous! He had thought he was just a gloating bystander, quietly waiting to see the Rong family make a fool of themselves and when they would completely fall. But now, he had been dragged into the abyss of hell by this sudden and extremely cruel truth.

The Rong family, Rong Yiming, Xi Yun, and Ren Qingcang are sworn enemies with them! Fourth Master Rong bit his finger, using his true essence and blood to draw talismans in the void. Stroke by stroke, he cut off his hair, slashed his flesh, and then offered his soul as a sacrifice to sever all blood ties.

From this day forward, he is no longer Rong Jia Qingcang; if he has a surname, it shall be Ren!

A blood-red talisman appeared in mid-air and quickly disappeared into the sky.

"Heavenly Dao Severing Fate Talisman!" Gong Tinglan's expression changed slightly.

Lang Jiuchuan then looked at Master Rong the Fourth, or perhaps he should be called by his Taoist name, Wuyouzi.

With the Heavenly Dao as witness and his divine soul as a sacrifice, he completely severed his blood ties with the Rong family, leaving no further blood connection. At the same time, he could never have another descendant of the Rong family.

He offered his soul to the heavens, and when the time came, the heavens would take it back. If he had great merit, he might be able to reincarnate; otherwise, he would be annihilated between heaven and earth, with nowhere else to live.

As soon as the Severing Fate Talisman appeared, Wuyouzi's hair visibly turned white inch by inch until not a single strand of black remained, but his eyes shone with a captivating brilliance.

Lang Jiuchuan slowly walked up to him, raised his head, and his eyes focused with a crazy and terrifying light. He said, "You have repeatedly caused the Rong family to suffer setbacks. Is it because of the karma of possessing my son's body, or is it a personal grudge?"

"Both." Lang Jiuchuan summoned the Little Nine Towers and released Zheng Yangzi's battered soul, saying, "Tell Fourth Master what happened to this body."

Zheng Yangzi looked over and met Wuyouzi's gaze. He felt as if he had been nailed to the judge's seal, and he stammered out his words in a concise manner.

No one whose family member dies can be prevented from going to the underworld for reincarnation, nor can their soul be scattered. Only Zheng Yangzi can do that!
He really wanted to die completely!

"Fellow Daoists, for the sake of our shared path, I have repented and reformed. Please let me reincarnate, or you can just scatter me!" Zheng Yangzi pleaded desperately, begging them to stop torturing him!
Lang Jiuchuan took him back. "You want to die? It's not time yet," she said, and then recounted the whole story of the switch.

Gong Tinglan listened from the side, her expression somewhat solemn, and said, "So, the Rong family head switched his granddaughter with Madam Cui's biological daughter. Years later, when Rong Huanxuan's Dao root was severed, he killed her to help her mend and repair her Dao foundation. Since this body has such a Dao root, wouldn't it be better for him to take her back? Why did he go to such lengths?"

"Of course, there's a difference between close and distant relatives!" Lang Jiuchuan said sarcastically. "How can a granddaughter who was left to fend for herself and whom she has no affection for, be compared to the daughter she raised herself?"

A darker storm gathered in Wuyouzi's eyes. So that's how it is. No wonder the Rong family head was so nervous back then. It's a pity that in the end, it was all for naught.

Haha, karma, it really is karma, but that's not enough!

Wuyouzi looked at Lang Jiuchuan, her words dripping with frost: "No matter what you want to do with the Rong family, count me in!"
