After Xu finished speaking, the anger in her eyes was like raging flames. She glared at Jiang Baichuan in the distance. Her eyes seemed to contain endless anger, as if silently announcing that she was about to punish Jiang Baichuan.
Jiang Baichuan felt extremely wronged. How could he have ever thought of bullying Jiang Songyi? Her strength was enough to throw him to pieces.
Jiang Songyi always liked to act docile and obedient in front of Xu. She was about to return to Ta Yue Garden, but suddenly, a murderous aura surged from afar. Her eyes involuntarily became solemn, and her gaze penetrated the clouds and looked at the sky.
The originally clear sky was instantly swallowed by dark clouds, and the sky suddenly became dim. The spring breeze was chilly and blew the green leaves on the branches vigorously, making a rustling sound, as if it was the solemn and murderous atmosphere of autumn.
"Is it going to rain soon?"
Mrs. Xu was about to ask the maid to go back into the house to get an umbrella, worried that Jiang Songyi would get soaked by the rain on the way.
However, the moment she turned around, Jiang Songyi's figure had disappeared around the corner of the corridor, her moon-white clothes fluttering like a butterfly dancing among the peonies in spring.
Jiang Songyi found a secluded place in the corner, climbed over the wall and escaped from the mansion, rushing straight towards the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.
That murderous aura came from the ghost fetus!
In her previous life, she had heard that Jiang Shu was tragically killed by a ghost fetus during childbirth, but she had never witnessed the terrifying power of the ghost fetus with her own eyes. She did not expect that the evil spirit would be so strong.
In this life, she removed the ghost fetus from Jiang Shu in advance, but hid the ghost fetus in Liao Qianqian's body, letting her suffer the consequences.
She had no idea who had ultimately resolved the ghost fetus in her previous life. Liao Qianqian's limited skills only allowed her to plant a ghost fetus to harm others, and she was completely unaware that she had one in her own body. Naturally, she couldn't have been the one to resolve it. In this life, due to her intervention, the time for the ghost fetus to appear had changed. Whether the person who could resolve the ghost fetus in her previous life could still appear in time was unknown.
Although Liao Qianqian and Hao Ren's deaths had nothing to do with her directly, she could not sit idly by and watch innocent people.
After all, this incident had already happened through her hands, she was already caught up in it, and she was implicated in the consequences. If the evil spirit in Liao Qianqian ran rampant and killed innocent people, then inevitably, part of the blame would fall on her shoulders.
…
The Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.
The ghost fetus's resentment was rampant, and its eerie and strange laughter echoed over the mansion, making people shudder.
Fortunately, the Protectorate's mansion was vast, and the demon fetus was still roaming the mansion, having not yet escaped. However, this was undoubtedly a nightmare for the servants and imperial guards within. They fled in panic, and many imperial guards tried to fight back with swords, but were unfortunately injured.
"I found you."
"Hahaha, it's hidden here? It's really interesting."
"I'm going to eat you, hehe~"
The ghost fetus's voice was like that of a naughty child, indulging in a cat-and-mouse killing game, enjoying the pleasure of violence.
Ji Cheng led a team of Jinyiwei to deliberately attract the attention of the ghost fetus in order to delay time and prevent it from escaping from the palace and causing greater chaos. At this moment, his body was covered with scars, and the wounds were filled with a black aura.
"This thing is truly a sinister creature! Even a master like Liu doesn't know how to exorcise it! I wonder if Marquis Yongding can successfully invite Abbot Yuantong to subdue this evil creature."
"Commander, are you alright? This wound... is truly horrific. It needs to be treated quickly."
Ji Cheng had no time to look elsewhere. He quickly turned his head and whispered solemnly:
"Approaching, two-pronged approach."
His eyes swept over his arm shrouded in black mist. He gritted his teeth, tightly grasped the Embroidered Spring Knife in his hand, continued to attract the attention of the ghost fetus, and then rushed towards the rockery on the south side of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
The ghost fetus also chased him relentlessly.
Thick black fog blocked his way.
"Hehehe, don't even think about escaping!"
......
Flowers bloom and fall on Taibai Mountain, clouds and mist are everywhere, and the scenery is lush and green, with the fragrance after decline everywhere.
On the top of the mountain, the Buddhist temple is magnificent and golden, and the golden roof sparkles in the sun, as if it can illuminate the whole area.
There was a young monk in a red robe, with a handsome face and a hint of charm. Although his face was not solemn enough, he was holding a string of Buddhist beads in his fingers, with his hands clasped together, sitting with his eyes downcast, and a gentle expression.
This monk was very young, not even forty years old, but he had already become a highly respected and venerated monk by the noble ladies of Jindu and the empress dowager. He served as the abbot of Rong'en Temple and his Buddhist name was Yuantong.
At this moment, he looked towards the direction in Jindu City where the evil spirit was rising to the sky. His body did not move at all, and there was a mysterious smile on his compassionate face, which was vague.
The time has come.
It's time to go down the mountain and put an end to this disaster.
He adjusted the wide sleeves of his red robe and walked slowly and lightly, each step revealing his immortal temperament.
However, the next moment, he was pulled over violently by a strong arm.
"You monk, do you still have the leisure to sit here and watch? Come with me and save lives!"
Jiang Dinglian had no idea if the monk could truly turn the tide, but at this point, he had no choice but to risk everything. He simply grabbed the monk and, with swift, agile steps, hurried down the mountain. Ignoring Abbot Yuantong's curses, he clamped the monk's arm tightly under his armpit, whipped his horse, and galloped towards Jindu City.
Abbot Yuantong's stomach churned amidst the violent turbulence, and he vomited several times. His once neat and orderly robes became wrinkled and disheveled. By the time he reached the city gate, his disheveled appearance had long since lost the transcendental demeanor of a Buddhist monk, and instead resembled a deranged monk who had eloped in the wilderness.
"Marquis Yongding, you are behaving like a bandit! The Queen Mother treats me with great respect, yet you dare to treat me like this!"
Abbot Yuantong was filled with resentment. He frantically tidied up his clothes that were blown by the wind, while making angry accusations.
"Hurry up and don't dawdle. If the Imperial Astronomical Observatory hadn't declared that only you could exorcise that evil creature, I wouldn't have bothered to bring you here. Don't you monks preach compassion? Why don't you help others in need instead of wasting time?"
If it weren't for Abbot Yuantong's stubborn resistance, Jiang Dinglian would have almost carried him away.
Abbot Yuantong snorted coldly, his tone unyielding: "The evil spirit is causing trouble, and I will naturally not sit idly by."
"Fortunately, I have just come out of retreat today. Otherwise, the evil demon would run rampant in Jindu City, and no one would be able to control it. The consequences would be disastrous."
The servants who had fled from the Duke of Huguo's mansion in panic saw the monk in a blood-red robe slowly walking towards them accompanied by the Marquis of Yongding. Their blood boiled and they were extremely excited.
"Great! Marquis Yongding has actually invited a great monk. Now that evildoer will finally be subdued!"
"This young monk, a mere man, can he suppress that evil ghost fetus?"
