Huang Rong retreated rapidly, the tip of her sword already severing a strand of her hair that was floating in the air.

The icy chill in her throat sent a chill down Huang Rong's spine.

At this critical moment.

Outside the courtyard, a figure leaped into the air, unleashing a powerful palm strike towards Wang Jiuling.

The powerful palm strike sent sand and stones flying through the courtyard.

Holding the sword, Wang Jiuling felt as if his body were a small boat on a stormy sea, about to be swallowed up by the giant waves.

That person was none other than Guo Jing, who had used the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

He had just returned when he heard the commotion. Seeing that Huang Rong was in danger, he acted without hesitation.

At this moment, Wang Jiuling advanced instead of retreating.

He felt as if he were rooted to the spot, and his true energy burst forth. He actually tried to use his innate Nine Yang True Energy to withstand Guo Jing's palm strike.

"Junior brother!"

Seeing that Huang Rong was safe, Wang Jiuling, with red eyes, actually wanted to fight him with his palms, which startled Guo Jing.

Immediately, the incredibly fierce palm strike changed, surprisingly incorporating a gentler force.

This is precisely what makes Guo Jing's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms unique. He understood the principle of combining strength and gentleness, allowing the powerful Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to also combine strength and gentleness.

Guo Jing knew that with his skill, if Wang Jiuling were to take the attack head-on, he would likely be injured. Therefore, he used a gentler approach to guide Wang Jiuling's internal energy.

The two men's palms clashed, and wherever their energy passed, the floor tiles shattered.

Finally, guided by Guo Jing, the two struck the ground in the distance with their palms, sending dirt and stones flying and creating a deafening echo.

"Brother Jing! Something's wrong with him; he seems to have gone mad!"

Huang Rong reacted quickly, immediately lunging forward and using her dog-beating stick to entangle Wang Jiuling.

Guo Jing landed beside Wang Jiuling, his palm pressing directly against Wang Jiuling's back.

The Nine Yin Internal Force probed into Wang Jiuling's meridians, suppressing the rampant true energy.

Guo Jing's Nine Yin Manual internal energy was vast and boundless, far beyond what Wang Jiuling could currently match, and he quickly suppressed Wang Jiuling.

Guo Jing's internal strength, combining both gentleness and power, continuously calmed Wang Jiuling's aura.

Until the blood red in Wang Jiuling's eyes gradually faded.

With a clang, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, and his body went limp.

Guo Jing quickly caught it.

"Junior brother!"

Only then did they realize that Wang Jiuling had lost consciousness.

When Huang Rong saw this scene, she looked at the Beggar Clan elder who had been injured by the two men's true energy. Although he was clutching his chest, he was clearly not seriously injured.

Huang Rong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led him out of the courtyard.

At this moment, people had already gathered outside the courtyard, including Guo Fu, Da Wu, and Xiao Wu.

"Mom! Is Dad back? Why won't you let me sleep here tonight?" Guo Fu chattered, curiously trying to enter the courtyard.

"Go back, all of you!" Huang Rong personally sent everyone away.

Guo Jing led Wang Jiuling into the house, leaving only one sentence: "Rong'er, I'll go help my junior brother regulate his internal energy first!"

...

Wang Jiuling had a nightmare. He felt dazed and confused, and his whole body ached terribly.

The overly domineering innate Nine Yang True Qi suddenly surged wildly through the meridians.

Wang Jiuling felt incredibly hot all over. He struggled to open his eyes a crack and felt two hands pressing against his back.

A powerful internal force was continuously being channeled into his body, suppressing his true energy.

"Junior brother! Calm your mind and don't use your protective inner energy to resist!"

Guo Jing noticed that Wang Jiuling had woken up and hurriedly called out to remind him.

He was also curious about what had happened, but going into a state of demonic possession was no small matter, so Guo Jing did not choose to ask at this time.

Wang Jiuling also sensed that something was wrong with his body. Knowing that Guo Jing would not harm him, he immediately focused his mind.

After one night.

Guo Jing withdrew his internal energy, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He had consumed a lot of his true energy.

Wang Jiuling, standing in front of him, had returned to normal and was now circulating his internal energy to completely suppress the last trace of uncontrollable true energy.

"call--!"

Exhaling, Wang Jiuling opened his eyes.

"Junior brother, how could you suddenly suffer a qi deviation?"

At this point, Guo Jing had not yet heard Huang Rong's detailed explanation and only assumed that Wang Jiuling had suddenly gone mad and was discovered by Huang Rong.

Even now, he has no doubt about Wang Jiuling whatsoever.

Wang Jiuling shook his head, closed his eyes, and fragmented images from last night flashed through his mind, but he could not piece together a complete picture.

"Senior brother! I...I don't know!"

Soon, Guo Jing took Wang Jiuling to find Huang Rong.

It was already broad daylight when the two saw Huang Rong. Huang Rong observed Wang Jiuling's condition and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Guo Jing hadn't returned in time last night, she would probably have been in real danger.

This Taoist priest, Wang's martial arts skills are actually that high...

"Chief Huang! Last night, I don't know why I suddenly suffered a qi deviation, causing trouble for Chief Huang and my senior brother. I really shouldn't have done that!"

Although Wang Jiuling had forgotten what happened, he still vaguely remembered fighting with Huang Rong.

Huang Rong glanced at Guo Jing out of the corner of her eye, then shook her head with a smile.

"Master Wang, there's no need to take it to heart!"

Guo Jing asked Huang Rong what had happened last night, but Huang Rong just smiled and said that she should have breakfast first.

Only after Wang Jiuling left did Huang Rong pull Guo Jing into the house.

She told Guo Jing everything about the trap she set the night before and how Wang Jiuling went to kill Guo Fu.

"What? Rong'er, are you serious? Is he really my junior brother?"

"This...this!"

Guo Jing was both surprised and puzzled, while Huang Rong shook her head.

"Brother Jing! This must be related to his demonic possession. Last night, he was a completely different person!"

Huang Rong was still shaken.

"I was so careless last night. If Brother Jing hadn't returned in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Guo Jing stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

"Yes! Yes!"

"Yesterday, my junior brother asked me to teach him martial arts. At that time, I noticed that there was a trace of uncontrollable energy in his internal energy, and I even reminded him about it."

"I never expected something like this to happen so soon!"

After the two of them analyzed the situation, all their doubts were resolved.

"I think Master Wang didn't really intend to harm Fu'er. Brother Jing, we need to think carefully about how to tell Master Wang about this!"

Guo Jing nodded.

Looking at her husband's appearance, Huang Rong couldn't help but think to herself:

"Although he didn't actually hurt Fu'er or me, I absolutely cannot let him stay in the Guo residence any longer. However, I still need to consider Brother Jing's feelings..."

...

On the other side, Wang Jiuling was in no mood for breakfast and returned to his room.

The memory of homework is like a shattered mirror; no matter how you piece it back together, it can never be restored.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Uncle-Master! I am Qingdu!"

"Come in!" Wang Jiuling called out. Lu Qingdu pushed open the door and carefully walked in, carrying a copper basin.

"Uncle-Master, would you like to wash your face?"

Wang Jiuling nodded, and after washing his face, he felt refreshed.

Guo Jing helped him calm his internal energy, giving him an unprecedented sense of clarity.

"Something's not right... My inner energy is so volatile, why did I overlook this before?"
