A cold light flashed in Lord Yuan's eyes, and he looked at Jiang Xiancaopi with a forced smile and said:
"I am also following orders. Please don't make things difficult for me, Your Highness."
There was a hint of coldness in his tone. Jiang Xiancao's eyes flickered slightly. Suddenly, she walked closer to him and chuckled, "General, you seem a little different today than usual. Why do you look like you have kidney failure?"
Lord Yuan's expression changed slightly. He wanted to take a step back to create some distance between him and Jiang Xiancao, but Jiang Xiancao raised her hand and grabbed his sleeve.
Jiang Xiancao stared into his eyes and asked with a smile:
"I just wanted to get closer and admire the general's heroic appearance. Why are you hiding from me?"
Lord Yuan wanted to shake off her hand, but Ting Lan followed him and stared at him coldly.
In a panic, he said to the imperial guards behind him:
"What are you all standing there for? The Ninth Prince is trying to harm me. Why don't you quickly capture him and this guard?"
The imperial guards present were all Lord Yuan's closest subordinates and should have obeyed his orders, but this time, they all looked hesitant.
Searching the Ninth Prince in public was already an act that went beyond the pale. He could have gotten away with it by saying he was acting on the Queen Mother's orders, but if he had taken the Ninth Prince directly into custody, he could have lost his head. Who would have dared to attack the Prince without an imperial decree?
What made them feel that something was wrong was that their leader seemed to have suddenly become a different person. His words and deeds were no longer the same as before after he met the Ninth Prince. It seemed as if he couldn't wait to execute the Ninth Prince on the spot, which was really unbelievable to them.
"I just pulled your sleeve, and you ordered the Imperial Guards to take me down. General, you're really arrogant."
Jiang Xiancao sighed, "It's a pity that even your subordinates think you're ridiculous and refuse to obey your orders. You've truly failed as the leader of the Imperial Guards."
She hinted at something, and Lord Yuan seemed to have something to hide, and he was so embarrassed that he almost lost face.
The next moment, a cold light suddenly flashed.
Jiang Xiancao was prepared and retreated. Tinglan suddenly made a move and intercepted the silver needle that was heading towards a major acupoint on Jiang Xiancao's body.
At the moment of intercepting the silver needle, Tinglan drew his left hand and placed the knife on the neck of "Master Yuan".
The silver needle was emitting a faint green light and a rotten, sour smell.
When Jiang Xiancao smelled this scent, her soul became a little unstable, but she immediately recited the spell her mother taught her to stabilize her soul, and the agitated and uneasy feeling disappeared.
She raised her eyes and sneered at Master Yuan who was about to attack her. "You think you can use evil magic to control me?"
Then, she took out a piece of cinnabar talisman paper from her sleeve and stuck it directly on Lord Yuan's face.
When the imperial guards present saw the Ninth Prince's guards wielding their swords, they also drew their swords, but when they saw the black mist rising from Lord Yuan's body, they were all shocked.
“This, this is…”
"Brother, what's wrong with you!"
Amidst the crowd's exclamations, the black fog blew up a gust of cold wind and was about to flee, but was covered by a white light.
Jiang Xiancao looked at Nun Meng, who was walking towards them quickly with a stern expression, and asked, "Is Master Yuan possessed by something dirty?"
"What possessed him wasn't a ghost, but a living soul."
Nun Meng walked up to the unconscious Lord Yuan and gently touched his forehead with her whisk.
His tightly closed eyelids slowly opened, but his pupils were out of focus and his eyes were inexplicably dull and empty.
Taoist nun Meng's expression became very solemn.
Jiang Xiancao asked in a low voice, "Can he recover?"
Hearing this, Taoist nun Meng shook her head slightly:
"For a soul to possess a body, it is crucial that the eight characters are compatible. This kind of compatibility is extremely rare, so possession is extremely rare.
The living soul that possessed his body relied on its own strong cultivation to forcibly possess his body. In order to smoothly control his body after possessing it, it first used an extremely evil forbidden technique to detain his one soul and three spirits.
If I don't bring back this soul and three spirits, even I won't be able to wake him up."
After hearing what Taoist Nun Meng said, Jiang Xiancao's expression also became gloomy.
This member of the Sun family is indeed bold and has extraordinary means. He was able to capture the soul and three spirits of the leader of the imperial guards.
If they attack Shen Yubai, can the people around Shen Yubai stop them?
