The whole family of villains listens to my heart, the Regent Prince treats me dearly.

Magistrate Jiang stepped forward and asked, "Miss Zhai, shall we prepare an altar for you?"

Since it is a prayer for rain, it cannot be taken lightly.

But Zhai Rongyu refused, saying, "No need."

There happened to be a high platform in front of the porridge stall, so she lifted her skirt and walked up onto it.

Everyone looked up and saw the girl's eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes bright and her expression focused.

She wore a light yellow blouse, the hem of which fluttered in the wind like a cloud rolling in the sunlight, exuding an indescribable tranquility and power.

The people unconsciously held their breath.

Zhai Rongyu raised her left hand and gently shook her wrist, the clear sound of the bell like a melodious mountain spring in an empty valley.

She began to chant the incantation.

"The highest purity is white, and within the mystery lies darkness."

"The waters flow to the sea, bringing me sweet rain!"

"Hurry up as a law!"

The ceremonial bell rang, and the weather suddenly changed. Dense clouds rolled in with lightning, and the sky darkened in an instant!

A strong wind whipped up withered leaves, and the people cried out in alarm.

"It's getting dark!"

"Thunder! Thunder!"

Will it really rain?

"This girl is really quite capable!"

Thunder rumbled, but no rain fell for a long time. Suddenly, a red magic circle appeared beneath Zhai Rongyu's feet, flashing with an eerie light.

She frowned and looked over, her body stiffening slightly.

[This is... a spirit-binding array?]

Suddenly, several streaks of red light flew out from the formation and tightly bound Zhai Rongyu's wrists and ankles!

She struggled to move, but the red thread tightened even more.

Her little face turned deathly pale in an instant.

"Rong'er!"

Jun Ce ran anxiously toward the girl, and the earth seemed to soften.

"Don't come any closer!" she shouted, a hint of worry in her eyes.

This spirit-binding formation is incredibly powerful.

Any mortal who gets close will either die or be seriously injured!

But it's too late.

As Jun Ce approached the high platform, the magic array suddenly emitted a strong red light, violently repelling him!

He was knocked to the ground, his body feeling as if it had been pierced by a tremendous force, pain shooting through his entire body like an electric current, and a suffocating sensation gripping his throat.

Jun Ce pressed his hand to his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes showing no fear or pain, but only worry as he looked at the girl on the stage.

Ye Mansion.

The Three Pure Ones sat cross-legged in the courtyard, their fingers forming hand seals, several red ropes wrapped around their hands, and a fiery array was placed in front of them.

Flames leaped, reflecting off his ferocious face.

He curled the corners of his mouth into a cruel and sinister smile.

“Zhai Rongyu, I never expected that your soul would not belong to this body.”

"God is really helping me!"

"In this way, the Spirit Binding Array can unleash its maximum power!"

"I refuse to believe I can't kill you!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

He licked his lips and laughed wildly, as if enjoying his success.

The servants of the Ye family standing beside him were taken aback.

killed?

Chairman Ye didn't order him to kill anyone!

He anxiously reminded him, "Master, Chairman Ye said you should spare Miss Zhai's life by knocking her unconscious and tying her up, but what you're doing is..."

"Shut up!" the Three Pure Ones said, his face contorted. "You, a mere servant, dare to tell me what to do?"

"Even the Empress Dowager obeys me, so what is Ye Kun anyway!"

"If you utter another word, I'll kill you too!"

The servants immediately fell silent, retreating to the side in fear.

The Three Pure Ones grinned maliciously as they tightened the red rope on their fingers, causing the formation to emit an even stronger, eerie red light.

"Otherworldly soul, prepare to die!"

The red rope tightened instantly!

"what!"

On the high platform, Zhai Rongyu bit her lip tightly, her pale face wrinkled like a sheet of paper, and cold sweat seeping from her forehead.

[You despicable Sanqing Zhenren, how dare you use such vile methods against your great-grandmother!]

I think you're just tired of living!

The Three Pure Ones?

Jun Ce propped himself up on the ground and suddenly remembered what Ji Chang had said.

The person he found who had infiltrated the granary was a Taoist priest.

It turns out they were the Three Pure Ones!

It now appears that the powerful figure behind the man stirring up trouble in Yangcheng is none other than the Empress Dowager.

Jun Ce narrowed his eyes dangerously.

[Old Taoist, let's see how I teach you a lesson today!]

Jun Ce raised his eyes and looked up at the high platform.

The girl let out a delicate shout, and a faint golden aura emanated from her body.

"Han Guang Sword! Draw!"

A sword flew out of her bag, its shimmering blue light colliding with the golden halo.

The sword spirit awakens, instantly unleashing tremendous power!

Sword intent roams freely, tearing through the void!

With astonishing speed, the Han Guang Sword unleashed several sharp beams, slashing towards the red rope! Like a tornado, it was unstoppable, leaving only a faint afterimage.

The red light binding the girl was instantly severed!

The girl suddenly opened her eyes, and a faint golden light flowed around her.

The people were stunned.

Governor Jiang was astonished and staggered back two steps, swaying his plump body.

Ye Kun's expression shifted between light and dark, his gaze as cold and venomous as a viper's as it fell upon Zhai Rongyu, sending chills down one's spine.

On the high platform.

Zhai Rongyu reached out and gripped the sword hilt, a murderous intent flashing in her clear eyes.

"Nine Heavens Sovereign, sweep away all evil and rebellion!"

"Binding Spirit Array, break!"

She gripped the sword hilt with both hands, leaped into the air, and thrust the blade downwards with all her might!

The red magic circle shattered instantly.

The Three Pure Ones trembled as they clutched their chests, spitting out a stream of blood.

A golden power burst forth from the magic array in front of them, instantly extinguishing the flames.

The Three Pure Ones were overwhelmed by the oppressive force, feeling their powerful energy being drained from their bodies, leaving them instantly weak and powerless.

"no no!!"

He was filled with fear and unease, and reached out to try to gather his inner strength again, but to no avail.

His heart was pounding, each beat bringing a sharp pain.

At this moment, the blue sword spirit, carrying killing intent, passed through the magic circle and tightened the red rope on his hand, causing the Three Pure Ones to scream in pain!

The sword spirit only stopped and dissipated after the little finger of its right hand broke off.

"My finger! My finger!"

"what!!!"

The Three Pure Ones, their faces contorted, clutched their bleeding right hand, collapsing to the ground, convulsing and screaming.

His eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred.

"Soul from another world, this humble Daoist vows to fight you to the death!"

"You wait for me!"

Having said that, he flicked his whisk and disappeared from the spot.

Zhai Rong broke the magic array, made hand seals, and raised her long sword to stab into the sky.

The clouds gathered again, thunder rumbled, and large raindrops pelted down until they became a torrential downpour, irrigating the entire land of Yangcheng.

"It's raining! It's raining!"

"Yangcheng is saved!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

The people began to shout.

They saw the girl standing calmly on the high platform, her eyes reflecting the rain, like a goddess descending to earth.

For a moment, they all knelt on the ground, worshipping devoutly.

"A goddess descends from the heavens to protect my Longyan!"

"A goddess descends from the heavens to protect my Longyan!"

The sound was like a surging wave, sweeping across the entire square.

The girl seemed not to hear and slowly walked down from the platform.

Her face was beautiful and serene. Ignoring the raindrops falling on her, she walked lightly but firmly to Jun Ce and stood in front of him, extending her hand to him.
