The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 500 To destroy someone, first make them mad.

They are father and son, and they are of the same lineage. Moreover, they have just experienced Rong Huanxuan's resolute betrayal by self-destruction. How could the Rong family head not know what Wuyouzi's intentions were?
This is clearly an attempt to emulate that rebellious Rong Huanxuan, to use herself to severely damage him.

You wretched child, you unfilial son, you idiot!
The Rong family head was furious, but it was too late to stop. He could only forcefully unleash his spiritual power to make the Soul-Devouring Banner devour him completely. However, Wuyouzi had already unleashed all his strange powers and slammed them hard into the core array eye of the Soul-Devouring Banner.

"No!" The Rong family head roared in anger and fear. He felt his soul being sharply attacked by a violent force. He was hit hard and spat out a mouthful of black blood, flying backward.

With the core array eye of the Soul-Devouring Banner destroyed, it severely backfired on its host and seemed to lose control. The hideous ghosts and demons within the banner scurried around like headless flies, frantically attacking the only living being within the core. Blood mist fell from the sky, and the sky, obscured by the banner's dark power, was filled with an eerie red, causing fear to run through people's hearts.

The Rong family head vomited another mouthful of blood essence. The backlash from the severe damage to his natal magic weapon, coupled with the old injury from the backlash of the previous clan protection formation, combined with the double blow, made him feel his soul tearing apart and his cultivation regressing. He quickly took out a Great Rejuvenation Pill and swallowed it, enduring the immense pain in his soul, and hurriedly chanted incantations to activate the Soul Absorption Technique.

He intended to absorb all of Wuyouzi's soul power from within the Soul-Devouring Banner. He would then sacrifice all the divine and demonic power he had borrowed, which would be useful to replenish his depleted true essence.

At the same time, Lang Jiuchuan looked at the Rong family head, whose hair had turned completely white, whose face was withered but who was even more insane, and who was using a secret technique to try to destroy the out-of-control Soul-Devouring Banner and devour everything. His eyes were icy cold.

She does appreciate external help, but she doesn't like hiding behind others and reaping the benefits of their sacrifices. If that were the case, what would be the point of her cultivation?
Wuyouzi has her own choices, and so does she.

Lang Jiuchuan tapped his toes and offered up the Jade Bone Talisman Brush to the Soul-Devouring Banner, chanting: "One stroke to settle illusions, all laws to rectify heaven and earth, come forth."

The Soul-Devouring Banner suddenly solidified, and in the next instant, Wuyouzi's soul was drawn out by the talisman brush, but it was already in a state of dissipation and flight, enveloped by dense blood energy and demonic aura, on the verge of dissipation.

Lang Jiuchuan did not pause. He simply used the talisman brush to fix his soul, and then with a thought, he swept towards the Rong family head like a wisp of green smoke, taking him with him at lightning speed into the out-of-control Soul-Devouring Banner that was frantically devouring the power of living beings.

The Rong family head was somewhat surprised, then let out a sinister laugh: "You have a path to heaven but choose not to take it, you have no way to hell but to barge in. You witch, you dare to walk into my trap, today I'll make sure you don't leave alive!"

Inside the Soul-Devouring Banner lies an endless black mist swamp. Successive heads of the Rong family have used it as a magical artifact to slay evil and exorcise demons. Countless souls devoured within this magical array have sank and wailed, transforming into a pure yet filthy source of soul power that nourishes this magical artifact, generation after generation, making it a highly valuable treasure.

But from some unknown point in time, it began to devour living souls, making the magical artifact both righteous and evil, with boundless magical power. Those souls and magical artifacts complemented each other, becoming stronger when faced with stronger ones. Unable to break free, they could only transform into even more ferocious vengeful spirits, howling as they pounced on the newly arrived nourishment.

"Enough with the nonsense!" Lang Jiuchuan used his pure lightning power to protect himself and summoned the Emperor Bell, striking hard at the source.

clang.

The tolling of the bell was like waves, striking the vengeful spirits. Their shrill cries and incessant struggles caused the power of the banner to overflow. Many people could not withstand this power and immediately collapsed to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Profound runes emerged from the bell, like a lightning serpent, coiling towards the Rong family head who was using all his evil power to fill the eye of the Soul Devouring Banner formation. The righteous and domineering lightning sizzled and tightly restrained him.

crackle.

The Rong family head let out a scream. The evil power, mixed with the power of many souls, no longer replenished the Soul-Devouring Banner, but instead attacked Lang Jiuchuan: "Witch, prepare to die!"

However, the lightning power on Lang Jiuchuan's body acted like a protective lightning beam, completely isolating them from the outside, including those fearless vengeful spirits. Even though they were still frantically attacking when touched by the lightning power, Lang Jiuchuan remained unmoved, only constantly consuming his essence to maintain his strength, and his face gradually turned pale.

Upon seeing this, the Rong family head's eyes flashed with a strange light, a mixture of fear and greed. If he were to absorb her and devour her power, would he be able to attain immortality, just as his Daoist name suggests?

Lang Jiuchuan saw his greed and sneered inwardly, but pretended to be on the verge of collapse, waiting quietly. It wasn't time yet; if she didn't kill him, she would only suffer the consequences. She had to wait for him to go all out. Yes, she didn't believe that the Rong family head was only capable of this much. He was cunning and cautious. Even if he had suffered backlash and still had the strength to use his essence again, then he must have a way to protect himself. She had to wait.

Only when he exerts his full strength can he be killed in one fell swoop.

To destroy someone, you must first make them go mad.

Lang Jiuchuan's mind and spirit were stirred, and a layer of golden light, seemingly exuding the fragrance of lotus, shone around his body, completely arousing the greedy heart of the Rong family head and greatly nourishing his soul.

A flicker of greed and madness flashed through his mind. He gritted his teeth, his hands forming intricate hand seals, mobilizing all his vital energy and blood to unleash the forbidden secret technique of soul absorption without reservation.

His body emanated a terrifying, violent energy that transformed into streaks of light that shot towards Lang Jiuchuan from all directions, attempting to forcibly tear her soul out. At the same time, the streaks of light pierced her dantian like needles, stealing her spiritual power.

It's now.

Lang Jiuchuan suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Rong Yiming, you have absorbed souls and devoured spirits, disregarded human ethics, and slaughtered your bloodline. You are burdened with sins. Today, I will make your Rong family, this demonic banner, reap what you sow."

As soon as she finished speaking, she forced out a drop of essence blood containing the purest Yang energy from her fingertip, which landed on the red embroidered ball that had been turned over in her palm.

A powerful Daoist aura flowed from his palm into the embroidered ball. With a hum, the ball tumbled in the air and suddenly burst forth with a dazzling crimson light. The fine, thread-like karmic fire runes on the ball came to life, and as the embroidered ball spun rapidly, a terrifying aura spread out.

That is the breath of karmic fire that can judge and burn away all sins.

"Exterminate evil and transform karma, burn!" Lang Jiuchuan flipped over, and the embroidered ball was launched out. The red light disappeared into the darkness in that instant...

boom!
Like sparks from a flint falling into a scalding oil pan, the flames suddenly intensified and then collapsed, sweeping over all the wronged souls and sinners hidden in the black mist.

The terrified screams were shrill and devastating, and quickly disappeared into the firelight.

This Myriad Laws Soul Devouring Banner has been passed down through generations of the Rong family, and countless lives have been nourished within it, generating immense resentment. Even when Wuyouzi detonated his own body and all his power, he only managed to break the core array eye, demonstrating the depth of his sins!

All the myriad sins, under the red lotus fire, have nowhere to hide and can only be burned away.

Bang bang bang.

The flames exploded, as if the earth were shaking.

The Rong family head's sinister smile and greed instantly transformed into unprecedented terror and disbelief: "This is? Impossible, uh..."

　Sincerity is the ultimate weapon. I'm thanking all my darlings for their various red envelopes and votes with some really cheap special effects. I bow and express my gratitude!

　　However, as a nobody, I don't have much sincerity. To protect the few bald heads on our side, see you tomorrow!
