So now, what will she choose?

The choice is between defending one's own self-respect and protecting the two members of the Ning family.

He was very curious.

"I want them all." Jiang Yuan said coldly, her thin lips barely moving.

She wants both dignity and self-respect!

Before the other party could react, Jiang Yuan raised her hand and waved it, and the crystal clear and radiant Yama's Pen appeared in her hand.

She made a sweeping motion in the air, and starlight filled the room, like a galaxy that had been cleaved in two.

As the two people in front of her paused, Jiang Yuan seized the opportunity to grab the wrists of Old Madam Ning and Ning Yue.

Seizing that instant, a powerful force surged into the two of them.

Another place, the Chen family.

The old man suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with confusion.

What?

Does Jiang Yuan still have the strength to undo his spell?

That shouldn't be the case.

Wasn't she unable to control Old Madam Ning and Ning Yue?

How could this be...?

If Jiang Yuan could control Old Madam Ning and Ning Yue, she should also be able to undo the spells on them, but it's obvious she can't...

Unsolvable...

The old man's heart skipped a beat.

Besides the possibility that it cannot be solved, there is another possibility!

Jiang Yuan was deliberately waiting for him to come!

Oops!

The old man thought to himself, and quickly formed a hand seal with his fingers.

The four banners fluttered, and the air moved rapidly.

The ringing sound echoed throughout the room.

The old man muttered incantations, and a series of spells rose from his body, surrounding him in an attempt to conceal his presence.

Inside the villa.

Jiang Yuan's eyes were deep and dark, like an abyss.

Unexpectedly, the tricks I learned from Ye You to make children happy actually fooled the other party, leaving them stunned for a second.

This second is neither long nor short.

She can do a lot in a second.

For example, removing the control spells on Old Madam Ning and Ning Yue, and for example—

Know the other party's location!

"Got you!" Jiang Yuan said coldly, her thin lips barely moving.

Her eyes darted around, as if she could see the culprit in another city thousands of miles away.

Jiang Yuan released their wrists, made a hand seal, and bathed them in a layer of golden light.

Her magical powers are not as strong as before, but she is not so weak that she can be bullied by anyone.

Jiang Yuan reached out with both hands, causing the air in front of her to distort and then a crack to appear.

Inside the Chen family's bedroom.

The ringing grew louder and louder, until it was deafening and echoed throughout the surroundings. Even Chen Mingxian in another room could hear it clearly.

Chen Mingxian pricked up his ears and pressed them against the door, listening for any sounds.

Just by hearing the sound of the bell, you could tell the old man was caught in a fierce battle.

Is that Master Jiang really that amazing?

"God help us, the old man must win! The old man must win!"

"Only if the old man wins can my Chen family turn the tables and stop being suppressed by the Ning family."

"May the ancestors of the Chen family bless the old man so that he can defeat Jiang Yuan."

As Chen Mingxian listened, he clasped his hands together and prayed to God.

"Heavens above, the old man is from the underworld. There are no bad people in the underworld. The old man must be a good person. Please bless him to win!" Chen Mingxian continued to chant.

He used to believe in ghosts and gods, but he had never seen one with his own eyes.

After he personally visited the underworld, he became even more convinced of the existence of ghosts and gods.

If there is a hell and underworld officials, then there must be immortals!

He must maintain a sense of awe and reverence for those gods and immortals!

Another room.

The old man, who was muttering to himself, suddenly felt a chill, as if he were in a freezing abyss, which made him shiver involuntarily.

Just as he was trembling, the spell that had been protecting him vanished in an instant, breaking his magic.

Then, it was as if an invisible hand was placed on his shoulder, making it hard for him to breathe. A continuous force came from behind him, as if it were squeezing the small room and even him out of shape.

Wasn't Jiang Yuan's magic power damaged?

How can there be such great power?

The old man immediately realized something was wrong; veins bulged on his forehead and neck, and he shouted, "Rise!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four banners that had been fluttering quickly surrounded the old man, and the black mist that was intertwined between the banners seemed to come alive, transforming into little figures that obeyed the old man's command and rushed towards his back.

Bang--

The black energies collided with each other and then dissipated.

The old man froze, then turned around to look.

There was nothing behind him.

Is nobody here?

The old man's heart skipped a beat.

But just now he clearly felt a sense of oppression coming towards him, and a powerful force lingering in the room, as if—

Jiang Yuan seemed to be right behind her.

But there was no one behind him.

Could it be that he scared himself, and it turned out to be a false alarm?

Just as the old man was thinking, the candle that had been lit suddenly went out, plunging the entire room into darkness and silence.

It was as if it were completely isolated from the real world, pitch black, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

His senses were incredibly sharp; if a pin were to fall to the ground, he could hear it clearly.

This is not his room!

"You want me to catch you, yet you disguise yourself; you're both afraid of death and afraid of dying," Jiang Yuan's voice echoed softly from the surroundings.

Although he didn't see her, he had a feeling that Jiang Yuan was watching him right now.

And, he can't move his body!

It was as if silver threads were wrapped around his body; apart from his head, he couldn't move any other part of his body.

"Everyone is afraid of death, let alone someone who has already died once," the old man said, mustering his courage.
