The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 502 Soul Search, The Man Behind the Scenes

The Soul Searching Technique requires a strong will, sufficient cultivation, and abundant spiritual power to retrieve a person's memories.

This wasn't Lang Jiuchuan's first time searching a soul, but searching the Rong family head's soul wasn't as easy as before. His soul was consciously resisting; perhaps, his soul had its own protective layer.

But Lang Jiuchuan would not give up on what she wanted to know. With a surge of thought and a powerful Dao intent, she forced her divine sense to break through the barriers and enter the shattered and chaotic sea of ​​memories of the Rong family head.

Looking at Lang Jiuchuan's pale face, Fu Qi asked with some worry, "Will there be any problems?"

The ghost also looked worried, but said, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. This is her fate, and it is her way."

They will stand guard nearby, vigilantly scanning their surroundings to prevent anyone from suddenly breaking in and interrupting or launching a sneak attack.

The memories of the Rong family head flashed by quickly, like a shadow play. Just as he believed, his scheming throughout his life was all for the prestige of the Rong family. His ambition was not just to lead the Rong family to become a minor Xuan clan, but to go further and last longer.

He wanted to reach even greater heights. Even if he couldn't achieve immortality like his predecessors a thousand years ago, he still wanted to lead the Rong family to the pinnacle, to be revered by all, to be remembered for generations, and to become a top-tier Xuanmen family.

His desire for power and Taoist cultivation was so great that he spared no effort, even going against the wishes of his ancestors. As long as he could reach the level of a strongman, right and wrong were not important. He believed that as long as his cultivation was high enough, he would be invincible, and everything else could be ignored.

He cultivated himself by stepping on countless corpses; the good and the bad, those who did not agree with him, were destined to only become his stumbling blocks.

It's a pity that the Rong family produced a rebellious son like Rong Qingcang, who happens to be their only son and a rare and exceptionally talented heir. With the Rong family's position precarious, they had no choice but to tolerate his rebellious nature.

However, Rong Qingcang could not violate the ancestral precepts and marry an ordinary mortal, even if the other party was a noblewoman.

The heir of the Rong family can only marry someone from the Xuanmen sect to ensure that they can have an equally outstanding next generation. In particular, the heir cannot act willfully.

Rong Qingcang is rebellious, so we just need to break that rebellious spirit. Once a person falls in love, they become vulnerable. If he wants to keep that vulnerability safe, then he can only obediently lower his proud head and follow the clan's arrangements.

Therefore, with just a little trickery, he put Ren Yao on the brink of death, made Rong Qingcang return to exchange for the Great Rejuvenation Pill to save her, and then, according to his vow, went to marry the person chosen by the clan.

He didn't kill Ren Yao because he knew that once Rong Qingcang found out, he would retaliate at all costs. Losing an heir for a woman would be a greater loss than gain.

Who would have thought that on his son's wedding day, he would fall into a mental trap due to his martial arts practice, committing an unforgivable mistake that would become Rong Qingcang's excuse and leverage for his decadence? Even more unexpectedly, his daughter-in-law would become pregnant as a result. One wrong step leads to another.

The newborn child was found to have pure Dao roots, which made him extremely happy. He personally raised the child and, considering his daughter-in-law's merits, indulged her in every way. However, he overlooked her resentment, which led to Ren Yao's wrath and drove the rebellious son mad. He disregarded his vows and the fate of the family, wanting to drag the Rong family into the mire. He was utterly disappointed.

To ensure the family's peace and suppress this rebellious son's rebellious nature, he enlisted the help of a powerful being to cast a soul-sealing spell on Rong Qingcang.

Lang Jiuchuan's heart tightened upon seeing this, and he began.

She looked over, and the man's back was always to her, but she could see his robes and his figure, which were strangely familiar, so familiar that they pierced her soul.

She watched as the head of the Rong family knelt behind her and swore a blood oath never to betray her, like a loyal soldier.

As we continue, we see that Xi Yun is still determined to get rid of Ren Yao, especially after learning that she is pregnant. Her jealousy reaches its peak. It was the Rong family head who suppressed her with his strong stance and kept Ren Yao and the child in her womb. That is the Rong family bloodline. What if it is useful?

He wouldn't miss anyone who could benefit the Rong family. The timeline suddenly shifted to the day before Cui was due to give birth. The Rong family head welcomed the man he was loyal to, a man in a black cloak embroidered with the sun, moon, and stars, standing in the shadows like a ghost, with only the embroidered gold stars emitting a blinding light.

"That child should be my disciple. Bring her here tomorrow, clean her up properly, and let the Lang family pretend she's dead," the man said.

The Rong family head didn't understand why it was so complicated to take on a disciple, but he didn't ask any questions and did as he was told. However, he secretly did some calculations and found that the person's birth chart at that time was all dragons. Such a person had an extremely noble destiny and was bound to have great fortune.

He was cautious and, seeing that the Lang family was in turmoil because of Lang Zhengfan's death in battle, and that Cui Shi was unable to give birth for a long time, he went to the Ren residence. Coincidentally, Ren Yao had just given birth, and he took the child away. Considering Ren Yao's rebellious nature and the fact that he was always a big problem, he decided to go all out and set up a Yin-gathering array to summon evil spirits. He slaughtered them all in one night, and then used a secret method to collect the vengeful spirits of those who died tragically.

Such a scourge should have died long ago; it was the child in her womb that bought her time to live.

Lang Jiuchuan trembled all over, his mind filled with rage. It turned out that it really was an evil spirit seeking revenge, but it was an evil spirit created by humans.

Damn it!

The moment Cui's child was born, the Rong family head arrived with the baby in his arms. However, he had used a great deal of spiritual power the night before, and with a child in tow, he was unable to fully utilize his illusion magic and nearly made a mistake, alarming the Lang family.

That person appeared just in time, easily performed a trick, and picked up the baby girl whose umbilical cord had just been cut, who was covered in blood and had a crescent-shaped mark on the back of her neck.

"You've been two-faced and almost ruined my important plans. If this happens again, the Rong family will have no reason to exist." The man, holding the baby girl, spoke coldly, his face hidden by the large hood of his cloak.

The head of the Rong family knelt on the ground, his attitude one of unprecedented respect and fear, and said in a trembling voice, "Yes."

The man stepped forward, touched the child of the Rong family head, and looked surprised. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This girl is in the Lang family. Let her live or die as she pleases. Don't do anything unnecessary and arouse suspicion."

"Yes."

Lang Jiuchuan strained to see the face hidden under the hood of the cloak. The man was looking down at the baby girl in his arms. He slowly raised his head, and suddenly, an extremely secretive, powerful and mysterious aura burst out from the fragments of Rong family head's memory.

That is a soul restriction!
This restriction is powerful and ancient, and could not have been set up by the Rong family head alone. It was a barrier set up by the person hiding in the shadows to prevent others from peeping.

The restriction was triggered, and the Rong family head was instantly backfired. His remaining soul let out an extremely shrill scream and almost completely collapsed.

Lang Jiuchuan's consciousness was also impacted, and she vomited two mouthfuls of dark blood, but she did not withdraw her consciousness and endured the excruciating pain to try her best to see.

Between the electric light and flint.

A gentle and handsome face flashed by, and at the same time, her consciousness was also attacked by the restrictive power. Her soul was struck by lightning and exploded.

puff.

Lang Jiuchuan tilted his head back and spat out a mouthful of true essence blood, flying backward.

Meanwhile, deep within the Daoist cave in the spiritually rich mountain range, a man wearing a Daoist robe embroidered with the sun, moon, and stars felt a jolt of surprise in his chest. Then, his eyes flashed with intense light as he murmured, "So that's how it is, with mountains and rivers winding through the landscape..."

　Watching the military parade! Paying tribute to the martyrs and to our motherland!
