The Mystic Princess is Too Invincible! The Abstinent and Cruel King Breaks His Rules and Pampers Her
Chapter 9: The Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion Was Bombed
Who could be so vicious?
By splitting Lanxiang's corpse in two, the ghost, unable to exact revenge, now faces the threat of an evil corpse puppet. This two-pronged approach is designed to ensure the complete annihilation of the Loyal Marquis's household!
What grudge? What resentment?
But now is not the time to delve into the answer.
They were closest to each other. Jiang Ling was protected by spiritual energy and wouldn't be devoured, but Wang Dewen and Fang Rujun were already turning pale, looking like corpses. They couldn't let the corpse puppet continue to devour the life force of the living! The more it devoured, the harder it would be to deal with!
Jiang Ling reached into her pouch and took out seven lightning-summoning talismans. She had drawn them before leaving home; these were all she had, and she only had one chance!
"Go!" Jiang Lingsu tossed out a lightning-summoning talisman!
Then, using the copper coin sword in her hand as a guide, Jiang Ling stepped out with the Seven Star Steps, connecting seven lightning-summoning talismans, and quickly and accurately set up a Seven Star Lightning-Summoning Array. As soon as the array was activated, the corpse puppet and the Black Lake were completely enveloped under the array.
The corpse puppet, interrupted from absorbing the life force of living people, finally sensed Jiang Ling's threat and turned to pounce on her, baring its fangs and claws.
"call out!"
The copper coin sword flew through the air, forcing back the corpse puppet.
The corpse puppet immediately turned around, its gaping maw ready to devour Wang Dewen and Fang Rujun to increase its power. The couple, seeing the terrifying corpse puppet charging towards them, trembled with fear and lost control of their bladder and bowels.
"Daughter... help me..."
"Help--"
Jiang Ling ignored them; they brought it on themselves. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she formed hand seals and shouted in a clear, melodious voice, "Thunder of the Nine Heavens, vanquish evil and destroy wickedness! Kill!"
"Boom——"
Previously, a bolt of lightning had killed the female ghost, Lanxiang.
At this moment, the darkness above the capital was ripped apart, and thunder roared and crashed down, waking countless people in the capital. In short, a super thunderstorm! A precise bombardment of the Marquis of Loyalty's residence.
After the thunderstorm subsided, half of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion collapsed.
The Black Lake collapsed into a huge pit, and all the water evaporated, leaving not a drop. Surrounding it were ruins, but the Loyal and Righteous Courtyard, protected by the Seven Star Guardian Array, remained completely unscathed.
"Cough cough." Jiang Ling covered her chest, her lips turning slightly pale.
Summoning so much heavenly lightning at once was a huge drain on her. Jiang Ling put away her copper coin sword, took out a bottle of pills from her treasure bag, poured out two pills and took them, then walked towards the charred corpse puppet.
The Corpse Puppet is dead!
Jiang Ling regained some of her spiritual energy and cast a talisman on the hollow belly of the corpse puppet.
She closed her eyes to sense the location of the person who created the corpse puppet; they were too far away, thousands of miles away, to pinpoint their location.
"Jiang Ling!"
After catching her breath, Fang Rujun glared at her with intense hatred and demanded, "Why didn't you save us! We are your own parents!"
Terrified, Fang Rujun soiled herself and her buttocks with excrement and urine; she had never been so disheveled and miserable in her life.
She blamed it all on Jiang Ling!
Jiang Ling retracted the talisman, and the charred corpse puppet instantly turned to dust. A gust of wind blew it away, and it vanished. Jiang Ling's eyes were cold and indifferent. "Didn't I save you? Ten thousand taels of gold, send it over after dawn."
"You dare ask your parents for money! You unfilial daughter, you ugly hag—ah!"
Jiang Ling struck Fang Rujun with a talisman, causing Fang Rujun to immediately convulse in pain and scream repeatedly. She could no longer utter a curse.
Wang Dewen was both scared and cowardly, and only dared to open his mouth and shout: "Jiang Ling, this is your mother! Your own mother! What have you done to her?"
"Ten thousand taels of gold, do you still dare to buy on credit?"
Wang Dewen nodded repeatedly, "I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you! Just spare your mother!"
Jiang Ling then put away the talisman. Next, she crossed her arms and questioned Fang Rujun, "Who told you to bury the body here? If it weren't for me, Grandpa would have been killed by you!"
The pain was still there; Fang Rujun's body twitched, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
Wang Dewen also panicked, "Madam, didn't you say you threw Lanxiang's body into a mass grave? Look what you've done to our family! You haven't been fooled by a charlatan!"
"This is Master Xuanfeng's intention!"
Upon hearing Fang Rujun's words, Wang Dewen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his expression one of utter disbelief.
Jiang Ling had never heard of this person before and asked in confusion, "Who is he?"
“Aren’t you a Celestial Master? Don’t you know Master Xuanfeng?” Wang Dewen gestured wildly. “Master Xuanfeng is the Imperial Preceptor’s junior brother! The Imperial Preceptor is not someone that ordinary people can ask for help, but Master Xuanfeng is charitable and generous. As long as you ask him, he will definitely help you.”
Jiang Ling sneered and retorted, "Help? Do you mean burying Lanxiang's body in front of Grandpa's door? Or do you mean he's making corpse puppets to wipe out the Marquis of Loyalty's family?"
Wang Dewen shrank his neck and muttered that Master Xuanfeng was a distinguished guest of the powerful and wealthy families in the entire capital.
How could he possibly harm the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion?
There must be some misunderstanding!
Jiang Ling rolled her eyes, convinced she was lying to herself. She continued to ask Fang Rujun, "The ghost infant is still in his hands, where did he go?"
Fang Rujun, her face pale, replied, "Master Xuanfeng has gone on a pilgrimage and we don't know when he will return."
Jiang Ling did some quick calculations, and her tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
She calculated that Master Xuanfeng would return in three months, and he would even come to find her on his own initiative. She just needed to wait patiently for three months! As for whether Master Xuanfeng was there to settle scores or something else, Jiang Ling was very much looking forward to it.
Then, we can compare her magic with that of the world's famous Taoist priest and see who is more powerful.
"Lanxiang was killed by you, and the servants and maids who died tragically tonight, perform a Buddhist ritual for them as soon as possible." Jiang Ling yawned, "I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep."
Wang Dewen grew anxious, "Wait! Daughter, you accepted ten thousand taels of gold, aren't you going to perform a ritual?"
When there's trouble, it's my daughter; when there's no trouble, it's Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling glanced coldly at Wang Dewen, "One thing at a time, that's the money for catching ghosts."
After saying that, Jiang Ling returned to Zhongyi Courtyard, closed the door, and went to sleep.
Wang Dewen and Fang Rujun were so frightened that they dared not go back. They had someone prepare a side room in Zhongyi Courtyard and spent the rest of the night in trembling fear.
After dawn.
Everyone in the capital came to inquire about the news, gossiping and curious about what had happened at the Marquis of Loyalty's residence.
The ruins outside the Loyalty and Righteousness Courtyard could not be hidden from the old Marquis.
When Jiang Ling woke up, she stretched and sat up, only to see Jiang Yuyan standing on a stool, leaning against the window and watching with great interest.
Jiang Ling asked curiously, "Little one, what are you looking at?"
"Let's watch the show!"
Jiang Yuyan climbed down from the stool and ran to the washbasin with his short legs. The cool little baby wet the towel, wrung it out with a "heave-ho," and handed it to Jiang Ling with both hands: "Mommy, wash your face."
"You're such a good boy!"
Jiang Ling washed her face and had just put down the handkerchief when Jiang Yuyan handed her a cup to rinse her mouth. "Mother, rinsing your mouth makes it smell nice."
Jiang Lingxin is so cute.
Don't let his cool and arrogant demeanor fool you, he's actually a sweet and caring guy!
"Thank you, little one." After rinsing her mouth, Jiang Ling immediately hugged Jiang Yuyan and kissed his soft, milky face twice.
Jiang Yuyan's face turned red. She pointed outside and said with bright eyes, "Two bad guys have been kneeling all morning. Does Mother want to watch the show?"
"Okay!"
Jiang Ling, carrying the baby, pushed open the door and went out. She immediately saw Wang Dewen and his wife kneeling in the yard, their faces ashen and swaying precariously.
"Grandfather, Father and Mother know they were wrong, please forgive them!" Wang Xiuyuan and Wang Wanyue surrounded the old Marquis, pleading for mercy repeatedly.
