The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 496 A Lifetime of Schemes, Ruined in an Instant

When the core of the clan's protective array was activated, filthy demonic energy entered the array and clashed with its foundation. The destructive forces clashed, causing the array to collapse and people to be injured. The soul consciousness injected by the current patriarch of the Rong family was the first to be affected and was devoured. His soul was in excruciating pain, and he spat out essence blood containing true energy from his mouth.

The head of the Rong family was disheveled, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His robes were torn, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with unbelievable rage, his fingertips trembled, and he let out a ferocious roar.

"You unfilial sons, you wretched creatures, how dare you!"

A murderous roar echoed through the sky, and the stone gate of the secluded cultivation place exploded. Before the clansmen who rushed to smash the gate could do anything, they were hit squarely by the fragments of the stone gate, coughing up blood, their fate unknown.

A figure rushed out; it was the Rong family head. He rushed towards the center of the array, but all he could smell was the overwhelming stench of blood. Everywhere were fragments of the rebellious woman's self-destructed body and the demonic filth brought by the sacrificed soul, which was continuously eroding the spiritual energy of the array's center.

The Rong family head's eyes were bloodshot, like a ferocious beast that had been provoked. How dare she? How could she?

Rebellious daughter, good-for-nothing, despicable person!

She dared to abandon her family.

Violent purple lightning and chaotic energy surged forth from the Rong family head, slamming fiercely into the array's core and suppressing the evil aura.

Down the mountain, everyone stared in horror at the direction of the forbidden area. Anyone who wasn't blind could see the black, foul aura emanating from it.

Wuyouzi smiled and said, "That was the forbidden area of ​​my Rong family. Perhaps my dear sister was resentful and couldn't think straight, so she self-destructed and destroyed the formation. It's a misfortune for the family. But it's gone, so be it. That forbidden area wasn't a good place to begin with. There was even a half-demon being raised there before."

hiss!
The Rong family elders cursed loudly: "Rong Qingcang, shut up! The patriarch has already left, how dare you spout such nonsense!"

As they cursed, they looked towards the forbidden area. Why wasn't the patriarch here yet? They wanted to tear this rebellious son apart; he had already caused a huge uproar!
At this moment, the Rong family head had gathered around him with the clansmen who had gone to ask for help. He quickly explained what had happened in the past few days, especially today. So, he said that his two children had betrayed him!

The Rong family head never expected that his seclusion for several days would cause such a huge mess within the clan. He also never imagined that someone who was already crippled could betray him and deliver a fatal blow at a crucial moment.

What was even more frightening was Wuyouzi's unusual behavior. Even if he knew the secret, how could he have recovered his strength so quickly after being crippled for over a decade? Unless…

He flashed into a secret chamber deep within the forbidden area, channeling his bloodline soul into the opening array plate. He entered the dry chamber, but it was empty. All the clan's hidden treasures were gone, leaving only a few large crimson characters: "Blood debts must be repaid in blood!"

The head of the Rong family rushed to a long box in the secret room, opened it, and his eyes widened in horror.

Inside the box, there was only a layer of paper ash. A mountain wind, from who knows where, blew into the cave, stirring up the ash inside the box and spraying it towards the Rong family head.

"You unfilial son, how dare you!" The Rong family head slammed the box down, scattering ashes everywhere. It was a forbidden technique that the family had treasured for many years. Although it was a rare copy or even a fragment, it was still extremely precious. Now it had turned into a box of ashes. How could he not be furious?
His face, aged and haggard from the backlash, was twisted and contorted with rage. His once deep, authoritative, and controlling eyes were now filled with terrifying, spiderweb-like red veins, churning with shock, fury, violence, and a barely perceptible pain. He had only two children in his life, and now they had betrayed him, destroying all the family honor, power, and reputation he had painstakingly built up over the years!
The Rong family head is filled with hatred!
A surge of intense anger filled his chest, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat before spitting out another mouthful of dark blood.

He closed his eyes slightly, then quickly opened them again, revealing only fierce coldness, devoid of any warmth.

Those who have abandoned me, yesterday's days cannot be retained.

The rebellious daughter was foolish enough to use the self-destruction of her bloodline to lure the evil into the formation to deal with him. She must have been taught by that rebellious son. After all, these are top-secret weaknesses that only the head of the family and the young master would know. Rong Huanxuan was still young, and he never told her. Only that rebellious son was someone he was never on guard against back then. He never kept the Rong family's affairs from him.

Now he's using Rong Huanxuan, using her bloodline which originates from his own, to deliver a fatal blow to him and the Rong family. What is he trying to do? He wants to destroy the Rong family!

The Rong family head had long known that this son was rebellious, and if he hadn't been the only son, he wouldn't have been allowed to live.

But now, that rebellious son has committed heinous crimes, betraying his clan and his own father, so there's no need to keep him alive!
Anyway, he didn't want to live.

Even if someone betrays the Rong family, they cannot stay with them!
The Rong family head slipped out of the secret room and came to the square above the clan. His gaze swept over all the guests, and when he saw the Holy Maiden, his eyes narrowed. Finally, his gaze fell on Wuyouzi.

With just one glance, the Rong family head was almost overwhelmed by the intense hatred in his eyes. He looked at him with a look of mad, destructive rage.

The Rong family head's pupils contracted, and anger quickly filled his eyes. He forcibly suppressed the absurdity and pain of being betrayed by his closest relatives and looked back at the guests present.

Their eyes were filled with anger, contempt, and doubt. The questioning voices sounded to him like sharp thorns piercing his eardrums, causing him to tremble with pain.

He sacrificed his own family for the sake of the Rong family's century-old reputation, thus cutting his losses and retreating to advance.

But the result?

The secrets he painstakingly concealed, including the one he personally crippled and the countless efforts he made to cover up, were brutally and decisively exposed by his own son. Disregarding his ancestors and the reputation of his clan, he revealed them to the public in such a bloody manner, telling all fellow practitioners of the Xuanmen that the Rong clan of the Xuanmen was nothing more than a heretical sect disguised as a righteous one, whose evil deeds were blatant!
The more the Rong family patriarch thought about it, the more violent his aura became. Being stabbed in the back by his own children had nearly driven him to the brink of losing control. All his scheming throughout his life, his confidence in controlling everything and ensuring the Rong family's prosperity and rise to the pinnacle, had been utterly futile. He never imagined he would fall so absurdly!
His cold gaze swept over Wuyouzi, who looked like a madman with vengeful satisfaction in his eyes. Then, his gaze shifted to Lang Jiuchuan, who stood silently in the crowd below the stage with an icy look in his eyes.

Yes, it was this witch. She was the one who killed Zheng Yangzi before. No wonder he couldn't find Zheng Yangzi's soul. It turns out that she had him in her hands for this day.

So, it was she who approached Qing Cang, and they 'recognized' each other?

The Rong family head stared intently at Lang Jiuchuan, and quickly understood everything. Who caused Qing Cang's madness? It was her. The Rong family's calamity, just as he had feared, had finally come, carrying a famous weapon!
“Good, very good!” The Rong family head squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.
