Since the emperor is disobedient, let's replace him.
Ruan Rongping originally didn't intend to break ties with the Jiang family. After all, the Jiang family had been martial artists for generations, and even though most of their direct descendants were dead, they still had many relatives, friends, and subordinates who were all military officers. And that little baby Jiang Shumiao was indeed quite capable.
Going against the Jiang family will bring no benefit.
If we can win them over, that would be the best outcome.
Why can't families of noble lineage share wealth and prosperity?
Unfortunately, that little brat Jiang Shumiao didn't know her place and acted lawlessly just because she was the reincarnation of a goddess.
Do you really think that mortals know absolutely nothing about the gods?
Although the aristocratic families did not claim to be believers in gods and accumulate prestige like the Yao family, they still knew some highly accomplished people.
Jiang Shumiao was only four years old, and although she was known as a goddess, she had never been able to attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality. She must have a weakness.
Ruan Rongping had meticulously planned for a long time.
Then, on her way home that day, Jiang Shumiao was tricked.
Starting this year, she has stopped having her parents pick her up from school and has been constantly accompanied by Fuqu and Qianli.
I heard that a new roast duck restaurant opened on West Street. My little one likes to eat there, so he took a detour after school to buy some.
After turning onto the main street, the people around suddenly disappeared completely.
Fuqu immediately sensed something was wrong.
"There's a formation."
Asakoi was also on high alert.
The mystical formations are effective against demons; they are already feeling excruciating pain in their lungs and internal organs, and their demonic power is dissipating.
Jiang Shumiao raised her hand and put them into her Qiankun sleeve, then walked towards the wall in front of her without changing her expression. She pressed down on one of the blue bricks and squeezed it hard.
The wall is cracked.
Thunder roared across the sky.
This is heavenly lightning summoned by a mystical formation.
Jiang Shumiao looked up, grinned, and stared intently, full of anticipation.
Heavenly lightning gathered and struck down upon her from above.
Jiang Shumiao: "..."
She stared wide-eyed, clearly disgusted.
That's it?
I thought I could get another free individual upgrade, but it wasn't even a scratch.
She pouted, indicating she didn't want to play anymore, and simply reached out to take it.
That's right, she caught the heavenly lightning that cultivators feared.
Lightning transformed into a long whip in her hand, sweeping across all directions, instantly shattering the array formed by the Xuanmen Tiangang.
The surrounding scenery has changed.
Wild grass grows thick, and lonely graves stand in solitary splendor.
Jiang Shumiao could already smell the blood.
"You're quite resilient. How does it feel to be harmed by the backlash from the formation?"
Several fluctuations of energy rippled in the air. After a moment of silence, a sinister voice rang out, "Little girl, don't get too cocky."
"Stop wasting your breath on her, set up the formation."
Jiang Shumiao remained expressionless. "I'll give you a chance. If you reveal the mastermind, I can let you die a quicker death."
"How arrogant!"
The air suddenly tightened, becoming bitterly cold.
The qi flowed into the blade, binding her neck, wrists, and ankles. The intense light transformed into a sharp sword, aiming straight for her dantian.
This is an attempt to destroy her soul so that they can devour her divine power and increase their own cultivation.
Another group of heretical cultivators!
Jiang Shumiao was furious.
"Hidden Abyss!"
A flash of blue light appeared between his brows, and Cang Yuan soared into the sky, his sword energy like a rainbow, sweeping across the sky.
The Xuanling Grand Array shattered instantly.
Daylight finally broke.
Several Taoist priests who had set up the formation collapsed to the ground, vomiting blood and looking horrified.
"H-How is this possible? Who are you?"
Jiang Shumiao's blue lotus between her brows shone brightly, while the Hidden Abyss in her hand exuded murderous intent.
"The ones who will take your lives."
The expressions of the eight old men all changed drastically.
"No, that's not right. Reincarnated immortals can't possibly still have divine power. Even if they had the opportunity, they would only be mortals before ascending to immortality. You're not even four years old yet, how could you possibly break an ancient formation?"
If the timing hadn't been wrong, Jiang Shumiao would have rolled her eyes.
"I recently set up a time-reversal array in the palace. What, didn't the person who hired you tell you?"
All eight of them were masters of the Xuanmen sect, but they were instantly killed when they faced Jiang Shumiao.
Two of the young men had shattered dantian (energy centers) and looked at her as if she were a ghost.
"Since you possess such supernatural powers, why are you still lingering in the mortal realm? You should have ascended to heaven long ago. No, you are not a god, you are a demon, a great demon!"
The others also changed color.
Jiang Shumiao rolled her eyes really, really hard this time.
"Are you really Taoist priests? Don't you know that when a demon possesses a mortal body, its demonic power can be suppressed?"
Everyone fell silent.
An elderly man with white hair, with sharp eyes, noticed the divine power gathering in the sword in her hand and exclaimed in horror, "This is an ancient divine artifact! How... how can you wield it?"
nonsense.
My natal sword is mine to be touched by anyone but me.
Jiang Shumiao lost her patience and threatened in a cute but fierce tone, "Tell me quickly, who ordered you to come against me? If you don't tell me, I'll annihilate your souls!"
Apart from the two youths whose dantians were shattered and who were on the verge of death, the other six all shuddered.
"Gods cannot harm mortals, otherwise they will be punished by God."
Jiang Shumiao scoffed coldly. The four-year-old child had an innocent face, but his eyes were chillingly cold.
"Then you overestimate the virtue of the gods."
The gods don't care about the lives of mortals.
They would be even happier if mortals were wiped out, so that they could then dominate the land and seize all the mountains, rivers, and spiritual veins.
The Taoist priests: "..."
"You won't tell me because you think those demons you're raising can devour me?"
The white-haired old man stared in disbelief, "You..."
Jiang Shumiao swung her sword, and with a whooshing sound, the surrounding environment changed again.
She stood in the open space, surrounded by towering mountains. A chilling aura enveloped her powerful demonic energy, and every inch of her exuded killing intent.
Thankfully, he had already put those two little demons into his Qiankun sleeve, otherwise his soul would have been shattered into dust by now.
