The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 588 Seeking Justice for the Common People

Master Huang's so-called wicked plan made Lang Jiuchuan even more excited. He wished he could rush up to the imperial tomb right now and bombard it with two bolts of lightning to blast it to pieces. As for this being a sin?

She is Tantai Wuji's creditor, and what she did was naturally the old ghost's sin. What is she afraid of karma for? The old ghost Tantai stole the fortune of many families, that is the real sin, but he doesn't care about karma. As his disciple, it's fine for her to 'inherit' this point.

However, after his initial excitement, Lang Jiuchuan calmed down. The matter was feasible, but it couldn't be ignored. He needed to plan carefully and not implicate innocent people for the sake of momentary pleasure.

This will catch him completely off guard!
Lang Jiuchuan looked at Master Huang and said, "Master Huang, you are very clever, and this plan is indeed vicious. You have absorbed a lot of fortune from the Tantai Dynasty to have this good fortune. Now you betray me without hesitation. As for me, who has done you no favor, I can probably be thrown away at any time..."

Before she finished speaking, her aura intensified, her eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she looked like she wanted to kill the rat to silence it.

She suddenly released her oppressive aura, fiercely pressing down on Master Huang. His legs went weak, and he involuntarily knelt on the ground, his back bent. He clasped his hands together and begged for mercy in a shrill voice, saying, "Please spare my life, Bodhisattva! In terms of gratitude, the benefactor is naturally greater. What kind of grace is the Imperial Mausoleum of Tantai? I, Old Huang, dug the tunnel with trepidation, relying on my courage and strength. I stole that fortune through my own skill. It was all hard-earned. It really doesn't deserve any grace!"

"Alright, what time is it? Why are you scaring it? Anyway, if this matter is not handled well, the entire world will die. If it dares to betray us, it will also cut off its own path to survival and die as well." Fengya said coolly, "It doesn't matter if we die sooner or later. The key is whether we will kill ourselves or be killed by others more unjustly."

Lang Jiuchuan: When it comes to threatening indirectly, you're still the best!

Old Master Huang's small eyes darted around as he cautiously asked, "What do you mean by 'all living beings must die'?"

"What's about to awaken beneath the main tomb isn't some giant dragon, but a thousand-year-old monster. If it awakens, countless lives will be lost, and the world will be in turmoil." Lang Jiuchuan looked at it calmly: "If you go and betray us, we'll all be doomed."

Master Huang immediately raised two fingers and swore: "Although I, Master Huang, am known as a cunning merchant, I know right from wrong and would never dare to betray someone. I haven't enjoyed this world enough yet! If you dare to betray me, may I, Master Huang, be struck by lightning, have my cultivation completely destroyed, and my soul scattered!"

Lang Jiuchuan said, "Since you are so kind, Master Huang, please help with some things. The people will remember your good deeds. If your good deeds are great, someone will surely worship you and make you an immortal."

Master Huang: "?"

He was only swearing to save his life; he didn't intend to join the scheme or collude with them.

However, Lang Jiuchuan's glittering gold merit cakes are quite tempting.

Seeing his submissive demeanor, Lang Jiuchuan gave him a few instructions before leisurely leaving.

Looking at the dark night sky, with one hand behind his back and the other stroking his mustache, Mr. Huang sighed, "The world is about to change."

The night was dark.

Standing on the cliff face, Lang Jiuchuan looked down at the vast, shadowy group of tombs hidden in the night, sensing the aura emanating from them, yet trapped within an invisible barrier. She couldn't help but purse her lips. Her hands were itching.

"Don't be impulsive." Fengya's voice came from inside the tower, saying calmly, "If you make a move, you'll alert others before you even realize it, which will only be detrimental to yourself."

Lang Jiuchuan hummed in agreement and said, "In other dynasties and countries, every emperor has his own imperial mausoleum after his death. But the Tantai clan is different. After their emperors die, they are buried in the Tantai clan mausoleum, forming a truly grand clan's burial complex, and no one finds it strange. Now it seems that it's because of the accumulation of fortune. Those chosen ones who are destined to be emperors can still bring glory to their families after death, and send the faith and merit they accumulated in their lives to the mausoleum. If they knew that all these merits were gathered towards their ancestors and not fell on their own heads, I wonder if they would be so angry that they would jump out of their graves."

“Perhaps yes, perhaps no. For a family to prosper and endure, some sacrifices and offerings are necessary. This is also for the sake of future generations. In fact, if this old ghost can succeed, the Tantai family can truly continue for ten thousand generations. The benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.” Fengya replied, “The saying ‘one general’s success is built on the bones of ten thousand’ also applies to the development of a family. There will always be someone willing to take the gamble.”

Lang Jiuchuan remained silent.

Instead of lamenting the passing of autumn, she opened her third eye, her fingertips rapidly calculating. Then, with a few leaps, she sped toward the location she had determined, concealing her aura and enveloping herself in the energy of the dragon vein, silently landing in front of an inconspicuous grave mound.

She held her breath and waited.

The great formation seemed to fluctuate slightly, but then returned to calm, and did not kill her, the intruder. Lang Jiuchuan was overjoyed; it really worked.

"The dragon vein you found for me to temper my body and nourish my soul is truly a blessed place. Absorbing the dragon's breath and fortune has given me more power to protect myself." Lang Jiuchuan said happily to Feng Ya while digging a grave mound. "Now that I've used this dragon energy to gather my breath and merge with it, this dragon vein treats me as its own energy vein. Does that mean it won't disturb this great formation at all? Maybe I should go explore the main tomb later."

She suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of the phrase "shared destiny". She was not related to Gou Tantai, but she shared the same destiny as the dragon vein. Could she then move freely in this land as if it were her own?
Fengya said, "That dragon vein is located at the central axis between the Void Realm and the Human Realm. It has existed for countless years and no one has ever set foot there. Its fortune is the purest and most hidden. I discovered it by accident, and you've gotten a good deal. But don't think Tantai Wuji is stupid. His divine sense restriction must be set in the most important place. If it's triggered, he'll come immediately. If you're unprepared, do you think you can defeat him?"

This is true.

Lang Jiuchuan pursed his lips, buried the things, and reluctantly got up to leave.

"Is this thing really useful?" Fengya was a little curious. Could that dark, unremarkable skull stone really destroy an ancestral tomb with immense fortune?
"A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole. I've tainted its fortune and weakened its spirit. As long as I tear open a small hole, this ancestral tomb will be like a sheepskin ball with a small hole pierced by a needle, slowly leaking out." Lang Jiuchuan sneered, "This is also karma. These skull stones were raised in the corpse pit where he raised corpse demons. They are extremely yin and evil. Using them to break the feng shui of his Tantai ancestral tomb can be considered karmic retribution!"

He created such a vicious thing as a corpse demon that wreaks havoc on the world. So it's perfectly reasonable for him to use the skeletons and stones raised in his Yin Sha Corpse Pit to ruin the feng shui of his ancestral tomb and let him suffer the consequences.

She was simply seeking justice for the common people!
Lang Jiuchuan buried the skull and stone, then made a hand seal. The sinister energy of the skull and stone gradually spread out, becoming filthy. The originally gathered fortune seemed to encounter the foul energy and fled, slowly slipping away through a thin, thread-like opening.
