Chapter 346 The Soul-Swapping Technique! Who exactly is she?

They were indeed assassins from the Night Slayer Sect.

Judging by the number, they must have all come.

When Granny Zheng hurriedly chased after them, she was startled to see such a large group of people.

"Young lady, what is this...?"

Li Qingluo: "Granny, please settle them all in the front yard first, and I will make other arrangements when I return."

"Oh, right, arrange beds for them, don't let them just stand there dumbfounded."

Then she randomly pointed to two more and told them to follow her.

The assassins of the Night Slayer Sect looked at each other, and only after Li Qingluo and the two quickly left did they look up at the doorway in front of them.

General Xiuli's Mansion.

Can they really stand openly in the light and still have a bed to sleep in?

On the way to Prince Su's residence, Leng Dian recounted the whole story.

"Miss, Po Feng has been slightly injured."

Li Qingluo: "How did you get injured? Don't you think Qin Ling and his wife don't know martial arts?"

Moreover, his Wind-Breaking Martial Arts is the best among the Four Guards, so how could he be easily defeated?

Leng Dian: "Yesterday, Po Feng led his men to Qishan Medicine House to capture the jackal couple."

"But who would have thought that, on his way there, the girl guessed, he saw someone somewhere?"

Li Qinglu's heart skipped a beat.

"who?"

As if possessed, she uttered a name: "Bitter Forsythia?"

Leng Dian looked at her in surprise: "How did you guess that, young lady?"

She's really not dead!

A myriad of thoughts immediately flooded Li Qingluo's mind.

She couldn't sleep at all last night, spending a long time reading the notes Zaina had left her and organizing them.

When Li Qingluo first received these items, he thought they were just some poison formulas that Zaina had painstakingly developed over the years.

These special notes are unique items that she discovered over the years in Daliang, items that were not found in their Miao region.

For example, rare poisons, and the concepts of mutual generation and mutual restraint.

Take, for example, the Rakshasa centipede.

But last night, after carefully examining each one, she discovered that there were some bizarre and mysterious witchcraft techniques that defied belief.

The more Li Qingluo looked, the more shocked she became, breaking out in a cold sweat.

She carefully bound the notes, knowing that they might actually be very useful to her in the future.

"Just guessing."

“Ku Lianqiao used to work for Princess Qinyu. Since she is really not dead, she must be looking for someone she knows.”

"If she still dared to parade around with her old face, she probably wouldn't even be able to enter Nanjing."

"So, she went to Qin Ling to disguise herself?"

Leng Dian smiled slightly: "The young lady guessed correctly."

"Bitter forsythia is lying in the room, and Qin Ling is disguising her."

"When Po Feng led his men there, our people surrounded the medicine hut. But Ku Lianqiao released a bunch of poisonous insects, and many people suffered as a result."

"In his attempt to capture Qin Ling, Po Feng was also bitten by a poisonous snake."

"However, Qin Ling was arrested, but Li Yun Chu did not run away either, and the couple were both brought back."

Upon arriving at the Prince Su's residence, Li Qingluo glanced at the Princess's residence, whose gates were tightly shut to the side.

Qinyu was seriously injured that day; I wonder if she is currently recuperating in this princess's residence.

There were no white banners hanging, nor any news of her death, so it seems she is still alive.

Granny Deng is gone.

The perpetrators, however, manage to survive.

How unfair and ridiculous the world is!

Thinking about how he fought his way to this day, and how he has finally avenged himself and escaped the dead end of his previous life, he felt a surge of pride.

But under the power of these emperors, they were still nothing more than ants that could be despised and manipulated at will.

But on what grounds?

She is a princess of two countries, high above others, with the cunning to turn the world upside down and the grand ambition to overthrow the court. She can disregard the lives of others and treat all the lives below her class as stepping stones to her ambition.

They keep talking about fairness, freedom, and equality.

Hypocritical and righteous, a hypocrite!

One day, she will tear off her hypocritical face, which is full of morality and righteousness but is actually full of selfishness and treachery!

Li Qingluo's eyes concealed a deep hatred.

She followed Leng Dian quickly into the Prince Su's residence, while the Princess's residence also received the news.

"Princess, Qin Ling... Qin Ling has been captured by the Po Feng guards of Prince Su's mansion."

The maid came to the bedside and knelt down tremblingly.

In this disaster at Chunyanlou, four of the sisters died, and now the princess only has three maids by her side.

Everyone was filled with sorrow, but thankfully the princess woke up.

But bad news kept coming in one after another.

"And... Fumanlou has been boycotted by all the restaurants in Jinling City in the past two days, and the manor that supplies us with ingredients has also run into trouble one after another."

"Besides that... several other shops also experienced various changes."

Qinyu's injuries were very serious this time.

She had a large gash on her body; although it didn't puncture her abdomen, she nearly died from infection and excessive blood loss.

This was the first time she had suffered such a serious injury since she came into this world.

I almost had a brush with death.

She only woke up today.

Just moments ago, I was forcing myself to drink the bitter, hard-to-swallow black medicine. Upon hearing this news, my mind went completely blank.

Everything else is insignificant, just trivial matters.

The scar on her body is something only Qin Ling can restore to its original state, leaving no trace.

If Qin Ling is gone, wouldn't her life be over?

This is ancient times!

For a woman, even one extra scar can be fatal.

How could she possibly become the future Empress of Liang?

Qin Yu was so angry that she overturned the medicine bowl.

"What's going on?! Why is Duan Rongshi arresting him out of the blue?!"

"Could it be that this is just to get revenge for me scheming against his beloved?!"

The maidservant trembled and dared not reply.

A surge of anger ignited in Qin Yu's heart.

"That bitch Li Qingluo!"

"I haven't even settled the score with her for burning down my Chunyan Pavilion and killing my personal maid, yet she still dares to seduce Prince Su and make him target me!"

Qin Yu's eyes were filled with intense hatred. If she could keep her temper in check, she would have loved to take a sword and kill the slut herself!

"Your Highness, why are you so angry?"

As a voice rang out, a familiar figure entered Qinyu's bedchamber.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Qin Yu finally showed a look of joy: "Bitter Forsythia!?"

"Bitter Forsythia, where have you gone?!"

"I've been searching for you everywhere, and you've been driving me crazy!"

Then she scolded the maid again: "How dare you! Why didn't you inform me of Miss Ku's return?"

The maid lowered her head, and Ku Lianqiao stepped forward: "Your Highness, please don't blame her. I told her not to say it."

"However, Your Highness, your bitter forsythia is actually dead."

Qin Yu was utterly shocked: "What did you say? I don't understand what you're saying! Aren't you right here in front of me, perfectly fine?"

Ku Lianqiao knelt on one knee, slowly raised her head to look at Qinyu, and a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes: "Because... I am not the real Ku Lianqiao at all."

Prince Su's Mansion.

Duan Rongshi: "You mean, Forsythia suspensa is Zuliya?"

"Did Zuliya use poisonous and evil magic to switch himself into the body of Ku Lianqiao?"

"How is this possible? There is such a soul-swapping technique in the world? Wouldn't the entire dynasty be thrown into chaos?"

Li Qingluo: "Your Highness, according to Zaina's notes, this technique comes from the Western Regions. It is a secret technique of the Western Regions, and its usage is extremely demanding. It cannot be done by ordinary means."

"Both sisters came from the Western Regions. They inherited both witch doctor techniques and Miao witchcraft, which is why they are so powerful!"

In the garden, everyone else had been dismissed.

Only Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi sat amidst the springtime beauty, surrounded by flowers and butterflies.

There were many of her favorite pastries and a pot of flower tea laid out in front of her.

Duan Rongshi sat cross-legged opposite her, listening to her deep, husky voice slowly recount her story…

“Zayna and the others’ aunt married a man from Miao territory back then.”

"Later, when my aunt returned to the Western Regions to visit relatives, Zaina and Zuliya's parents died unexpectedly in a turmoil."

“They were taken to Miao territory back then and came into contact with witchcraft.”

"Zayna's diary says that she and her sister were ostracized and bullied for years because they were outsiders."

"They worked exceptionally hard, and the two sisters ultimately lived up to their aunt's expectations, becoming outstanding among the Miao witches."

"They became disciples of Yun Gu. Zuliya was calm and reserved, while Zaina was more lively and active, so she embarked on a journey to see the world."

"After she grew up, she returned to the Western Regions and avenged her parents."

"Before leaving, she unexpectedly met a witch doctor from the Western Regions and learned about this secret technique in an accident."

"At that time, in order to save the son of a nobleman, the witch doctor swapped his soul into the body of the nobleman's simple-minded younger brother."

"Zayna was terrified when she witnessed it on the spot, she had no idea that such evil magic existed in the world."

"However, this also aroused her thirst for knowledge and strong interest, so she followed this person for two years and tried all sorts of methods before she finally found out what this secret technique was all about."

"The so-called resurrection technique is not foolproof. It requires a combination of favorable timing, location, and human factors to succeed."

"Moreover, there is a very high chance of a backlash, resulting in both of them losing their lives."

"Because it is too insidious, it is strictly forbidden in the Western Regions. Any witch doctor caught using this method is hanged on the spot."

"Therefore, this technique is also on the verge of extinction in the Western Regions."

"Firstly, there must be a blood relationship, and the relationship must be within five degrees of kinship."

Secondly, the two must be compatible in terms of their birth charts.

"Thirdly, the person being swapped must be filled with resentment before death, and then their soul can be sealed by taking a talisman and blood."

"Otherwise, if the person whose soul has been swapped becomes a vengeful ghost after death and attacks you again, the soul of the body that was possessed will be unstable and it will be easy for the body to be taken back."

"Fourth, after the soul is exchanged, one must drink the blood of the spirit talisman for forty-nine days in order to stabilize one's body."

As Li Qingluo spoke, she shivered violently.

“Zayna also said that after she returned to Miao territory, she told Zuliya about this evil magic.”

"However, she felt that this method was extremely insidious, so although she had considered changing her daughter's body, she did not harm any more of the Pei family's descendants and only wrote the technique down in her notes."

Although Zaina wasn't a good person either.

But Zulya was many times more evil and vicious than Zulya.
