The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 543 Was Luring Me into a Trap a Test of My Strength?

Lang Jiuchuan suppressed his urge to tear Dao Jicang to pieces, looked at Jiang Che, and said in an icy voice, "Keep an eye on her!"

The next moment, she turned around abruptly, her gaze locking onto Dao Jicang like an icy cone. Dao Jicang felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze, but he still forced a cold smile. She wouldn't dare to hurt the jade bottle while trying to catch a rat!

However, under his glare, Lang Jiuchuan rapidly formed hand seals and chanted a profound incantation. A surge of powerful divine consciousness, mixed with a wisp of pure Xuanming Taiyin power, erupted forth, but instead of attacking Dao Jicang, it transformed into a small, transparent barrier that completely enveloped the baby girl's swaddling clothes.

By isolating Yin and Yang, as if entering nothingness, her divine soul and aura were completely cut off from this world, and at the same time, her contractual connection with Dao Jicang was temporarily severed.

"What do you want to do?" Dao Jicang was startled, suddenly realizing that he could no longer sense the connection with the baby girl.

Impossible. This life-and-death pact was passed down to him by the Venerable One. How could she break it so easily?
Lang Jiuchuan sneered: "Live and die together? If you want to die, I'll sever the 'together' part of your life first. She's in my floating void, completely unrelated to you. Your pain, your injuries, even your life and death, will only be your own affair. Don't even think about involving innocent people!"

Dao Jicang's expression changed drastically!
He tried to sense the baby girl's condition again, but found that the originally clear contract connection had become blurry and unclear until it was completely severed. It had completely changed its appearance, which meant that no matter what happened to him at this moment, the baby girl would no longer be affected!

Dao Jicang turned to escape, but forgot that he was already bound. Now, his aura was completely locked by Lang Jiuchuan, leaving him unable to move.

"you……!"

Lang Jiuchuan formed his five fingers into a claw and grabbed hard from a distance. An invisible force landed on Dao Jicang's right arm and twisted it forcefully: "This is retribution for your aiding and abetting evil, for your shameless act of harming children!"

"Ugh..." Dao Jicang let out an extremely shrill scream. He felt as if his right hand was being torn and twisted by an incompetent force. Crackling sounds rang out from his bones, making a tooth-grinding sound. Intense pain swept through his entire body.

In an instant, he could no longer feel his right hand. When he turned his head, he saw that it was hanging limply, as if it were wrapped in a layer of skin and flesh, and would fall off completely with just a gentle tug.

Lang Jiuchuan, however, was paying attention to the barrier he had created with his divine sense. He saw the baby girl move restlessly inside the transparent light shield, but her expression remained calm, so he was relieved.

it works.

She gave a slight, smirk. "As long as it works."

"Not enough." Lang Jiuchuan's attack was lightning fast. The power she unleashed transformed into a bone-corroding beast. Each strike was accompanied by the sound of bones shattering or Dao Jicang's extremely mournful howl. She was repaying him a hundredfold or a thousandfold for the pain he had inflicted on the baby girl through the life-sharing contract.

Daoji Cang's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his face was deathly pale, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Lang Jiuchuan: "The Venerable One will not let you go!"

"You make it sound like he ever let me go?" Lang Jiuchuan narrowed her eyes. Before she finished speaking, she brought two fingers together and struck Dao Jicang's dantian acupoint precisely: "I'll keep track of the score with you for now. This is to repay you for the boundless pain Wen Yue suffered from being separated from her child. Without spiritual power, you can no longer separate mothers and daughters in this world!"

He, the Rong family head, the imperial advisor, and so on, are all birds of a feather, using their cultivation to do whatever they want to innocent people.

Is violence the answer? No.

If Heaven doesn't care, she will! If there's no justice in this world, she'll set one.

Lang Jiuchuan focused his mind, and a chilling, piercing Xuanming True Qi instantly invaded Dao Jicang, like countless ice needles darting wildly through his meridians, bringing a tearing pain and the fear of his spiritual power being rapidly eroded and lost.

"Ughhhh!" Daoji Cang convulsed in pain, tears streaming down his face, screaming in agony.

He could sense that his spiritual power was not being depleted, but rather being completely reduced to nothingness, until it returned to emptiness. This meant that his spiritual power was being wasted, and his century-long cultivation would regress.

Once he regresses to zero, he becomes nothing; without spiritual power, he will quickly grow old and die.

Fear finally showed in his eyes as he looked at Lang Jiuchuan in horror. She actually dared to do it. She was using the most direct and cruel method to make him personally experience the pain that the little girl had suffered, while also venting her anger.

Your Majesty, why haven't you come to save him yet?
Jiang Che stood guarding the baby girl, glancing at Lang Jiuchuan with some worry. He feared that Lang Jiuchuan might go into a frenzy and lose her composure, accidentally killing the old Taoist priest, which would put the baby girl in serious trouble!
But he didn't stop her. She needed an outlet to vent her anger; he had to let her get it off her chest.

Seeing Dao Jicang lying on the ground, twitching and groaning like a mangy dog ​​with its spine broken, no longer possessing its previous arrogance and on the verge of death, Lang Jiuchuan's anger subsided slightly. He withdrew his imposing manner and turned to walk towards Jiang Che.

Now, it's time to deal with the real trouble—that damned life-and-death pact!

She sat cross-legged, focused her mind, closed her eyes, and gently tapped her fingertips on the Imperial Bell, trying to figure out how to break the contract.

Every cause has its effect. If a bond can be formed, it can also be broken. However, this process is complicated and requires a strong divine will to stabilize both souls simultaneously, so as to prevent them from struggling and pulling each other during the process of breaking the bond. Otherwise, the person breaking the bond will suffer a backlash, which would be a loss.

Secondly, the bond must be severed. This power must be immense and sharp, capable of reversing yin and yang, withstanding the pressure of the heavens, and severing the invisible contract lines in the soul and blood, only then will the bond become invalid.

Finally, it is necessary to immediately nourish the baby girl's damaged vital energy and essence, otherwise she will become weak due to the great loss of vital energy, especially since she is so young.

This will be an extremely delicate and energy-consuming operation that will leave no room for error. It will also be time-consuming and spiritually draining, a gamble with one's life. Using one's own cultivation to risk her survival could easily result in a backlash that injures oneself!
Thinking of this, Lang Jiuchuan's disgust for Dao Jicang and that old fox deepened. She suddenly suspected that they had set up this scheme just to see how much her soul had recovered and what level her cultivation had reached.
This thought made Lang Jiuchuan open his eyes abruptly, and he hesitated for a moment.

Before the battle actually begins, no general would be foolish enough to reveal his strategic plans and troop strength to the enemy camp, as that would expose his capabilities.

As Dao Jicang lay dying on the ground, looking at Lang Jiuchuan's focused profile, a hint of extremely secretive, resentful pleasure flashed in his eyes, in addition to fear.

Only Your Majesty can devise a flawless plan!

Lang Jiuchuan suddenly turned his head and glared at him: "Did you lure me into this trap to test my strength?"

Daoji Cang stood still.

　Typhoon King is coming! The affected areas, especially those in Guangdong, need to be careful!
