When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

"Duke Mu, release this mother and daughter. Otherwise, the Ningguo Mansion will be in turmoil today!"

As Jiang Song was speaking, the dark clouds of disaster were getting closer and closer to the ancestral hall of Ningguo Mansion, and flashes of lightning were moving above the eaves!

"Father, this thunder tribulation cannot be underestimated. Are you really going to risk the safety of your entire family for a deceased person? Is it really worth it?"

When Mu Huiren heard what Mu Yunlan said, his face turned pale and he was obviously struggling inside.

"Master, don't listen to them. I will never allow Tao'er to rest in the ground alone forever?!"

"The Jiang family owes Tao'er, and this girl should be buried with Tao'er! This ghost marriage must take place today!"

The mistress of the Mu family, Mu Huiren's wife, Liu, suddenly knelt down at Mu Huiren's feet, crying, tightly pulling his robe with both hands, her eyes full of pleading and determination.

"Buried with him? How ridiculous!" Jiang Song sneered, his spiritual energy surging even more violently. "Mu Yuntao has committed countless evil deeds, bullying men and women, and taking human lives lightly. His life is life, but others' lives are not life?"

"His death today is the clear will of heaven, retribution! If you truly care, you should do good deeds for him instead of forcing an innocent woman to be buried with him, adding to his sin!"

As he was speaking, a loud thunder exploded in the sky and struck a corner of the ancestral hall directly, instantly turning it into ruins.

Everyone was terrified and looked for shelter, fearing that the next mine would fall on their heads.

"Jiang Song, are you...are you crazy? How dare you trigger the thunder in Ningguo Mansion? Do you want all of us to be buried with you?" Jiang Buli's face turned pale and he glared at Jiang Song.

Jiang Song gave him a cold look and said, "Jiang Buli, if you still have any humanity left in you, let them go immediately. Otherwise, this thunderbolt will not recognize anyone. It will only follow the justice of heaven and punish evil and promote good!"

"You...you!" Jiang Buli was furious. "They're crazy, all of them! Come, quickly capture this witch!"

The guards did not move for a long time. They looked at the sky covered with dark clouds and roaring thunder, their hearts filled with fear.

No one wanted to rush forward at this time and become a victim of the thunder.

Mu Huiren frowned, his eyes wandering between Jiang Song and Liu, obviously struggling inside.

He was afraid of the thunderbolt that Jiang Song would provoke, but he couldn't bear to refuse his wife's request, and he didn't want to bring shame to his family.

"Witch, you can try and see whether your magic is more powerful or my Mu family's protective formation is better!" Mu Huiren finally gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

In an instant, complex runes suddenly lit up around the ancestral hall, and a huge light shield enveloped the entire ancestral hall. This was the protective formation passed down from generation to generation in the Mu family, which was said to be able to withstand all attacks from the outside world.

"Yunlan, you must catch this witch for me. Don't let her ruin the affairs of our Mu family!" Mu Huiren ordered Mu Yunlan.

"Father, there may be a turning point in this matter. Why rush it?" Mu Yunlan did not move and still tried to persuade Mu Huiren to change his mind.

Mu Huiren glared at him, "A turnaround? What kind of turnaround could there be? Have you been bewitched by this witch?"

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the ancestral hall, and then Xie Guangting rushed in with the Xie family members and guards.

"Song'er, let us lend you a hand!" Xie Guangting shouted loudly, standing beside Jiang Song with a firm gaze.

Seeing this, Mu Huiren's face darkened even more. "Xie Guangting, are you going to make an enemy of my Mu family?"

"Duke Mu, my Xie family still has its integrity. So what if we are enemies with your Mu family? Today's matter concerns human lives. My Xie family cannot sit idly by." Xie Guangting said righteously.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the ancestral hall grew even more tense. Mu Huiren knew that if he delayed any further, it would probably lead to more trouble.

"Okay! Since you are so stubborn, don't blame my Mu family for being rude!" He roared, ready to use his magical powers to attack Jiang Song and the Xie family.

However, at this moment, a deafening thunder suddenly came from the sky, and then a bolt of lightning struck down and directly hit the Mu family's protective formation.

The formation trembled violently, the light flickered, and bursts of shattering sounds were heard, as if it was about to collapse.

Everyone looked up and saw rolling dark clouds and flashing lightning, as if the God was really angry and was about to bring down divine punishment.

"This...how is this possible?" he muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief.

Jiang Song looked at Mu Huiren coldly, his spiritual energy surging even more violently. "Duke Mu, if you stop now, it's not too late."

Mu Huiren gnashed his teeth, his face full of ferocity. "You witch, don't even think about succeeding! My Mu family will never yield to you!"

"Mu Yunlan, your current achievements are all due to the resources and support provided by the Mu family. Now you are turning against us at the last minute. Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Mu family?"

Seeing that Mu Yunlan still did not move, Mu Huiren angrily accused him.

Seeing that the thunder tribulation was about to bring disaster to the entire Ningguo Mansion, Mu Yunlan had no choice but to form seals to create a huge barrier to isolate the ancestral hall from the outside world. The remaining power of the thunder tribulation was temporarily blocked outside the barrier.

"Father, stop it! If you continue like this, the entire Ningguo Mansion will be destroyed!" Mu Yunlan shouted loudly, trying to awaken a trace of rationality in Mu Huiren's heart.

Mu Huiren seemed to be trapped in some kind of obsession. He widened his eyes, his face full of unwillingness, "No! I will never stop! The glory of the Mu family cannot be destroyed in my hands!"

At this moment, a figure appeared behind Mu Huiren like a ghost. It was Jiang Song.

She took advantage of Mu Huiren's distraction and quickly made a move, pressing a finger on Mu Huiren's acupoint.

Mu Huiren's whole body stiffened and he instantly lost the ability to move.

"Duke Mu, you are too obsessed. It's time to wake up." Jiang Song said in a cold tone.

As Mu Huiren was restrained, the guards of the Mu family also stopped what they were doing, and the entire ancestral hall fell into silence.

"Witch, you...how dare you attack me!" Mu Huiren was restrained, but still struggled unwillingly.

At this moment, there was another roar outside the ancestral hall, and a group of black-armored guards rushed in with swords.

Ximen Liu appeared in mid-air, his black robe rustling, his eyes as cold as a knife as he scanned everyone present.

His arrival instantly froze the already tense atmosphere.

Everyone in Ningguo Mansion, including Mu Yunlan, couldn't help but hold their breath.

"King Jing...Jingyuan?" Mu Huiren stuttered, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"Duke Mu, do you admit your guilt?" the leading general said coldly, his tone full of unquestionable majesty.

Mu Huiren trembled all over and quickly knelt on the ground, "This old minister...this old minister, I wonder what crime I have committed?"

"Hmph, Mu Huiren, as a Duke, you abuse your power and do such rebellious things. Isn't this a crime?" Ximen Liu asked sternly.
