Chapter 431 Soul-Breaking Formation
"Princess, please move aside. I will set up the formation right away."
The yellow-haired Taoist priest picked up the doll on the table. The moment he took the doll off, the birth date written on the sole of the doll was clearly revealed.
"Ye Jiulin and you, Princess, were born on the same day, month, and year, so there's no need to inquire about it."
"She's not even worthy of being born at the same time as me!" Princess Mingzhu stared at the doll, her eyes flashing with viciousness. "If she hadn't used underhanded tactics to steal my luck, how could I have ended up in disgrace?"
"From being a lucky star admired by the world to being a cursed star despised by everyone, I wish I could tear her into pieces!"
"Princess, there's no need to be angry." The yellow-haired Taoist smiled, his expression tinged with arrogance. "If the princess had met me earlier, this unfortunate thing wouldn't have happened. I'm not bragging, but looking at the entire world, the person who can fight me in magic has probably not yet been born!"
"Yeah?"
Princess Mingzhu glanced at the old Taoist priest unhappily.
Princess Mingzhu has a very high opinion of herself, and no one has ever dared to say such arrogant words in front of her.
Because in Princess Mingzhu's heart, she is the most powerful person in the world.
If Ye Jiulin hadn't snatched away her treasure and her power to control the dark forces, why would she need to find some stinky Taoist priest for help?
Princess Mingzhu's eyes turned red when she recalled that after returning from Heihe Village, all the crows that obeyed her orders disappeared.
"What the Taoist said makes sense." Princess Mingzhu suppressed her unhappiness.
Now, she had to rely on the person in front of her to treat Ye Jiulin.
"If the Taoist priest didn't have real abilities, I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to invite him here!"
As they were talking, the two of them came to a hall next door.
There is an incense table in the main hall, on which are placed some ritual instruments.
Countless candles were arranged in a circle, surrounding a cross-shaped wooden frame in the center of the hall.
There were three oil lamps burning above the wooden frame and seven oil lamps burning below.
There is nothing else besides this.
"Just relying on these, can you take Ye Jiulin's life?" Princess Mingzhu's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at the old Taoist suspiciously.
"Right now, I just want to do something that is absolutely foolproof and can hit the target with one strike! This formation doesn't look like anything special, how can it be used against Ye Jiulin?!"
"These alone are naturally not enough to deal with her. I have other magic weapons."
The old Taoist calmly opened a long box and solemnly took out a broken sword from it.
The sword was in a dilapidated state, with rust all over from the hilt to the blade, and it was completely unrecognizable from its original appearance.
"Is this the magic weapon you were talking about? A rotten sword?" Princess Mingzhu's face turned cold.
"Princess, don't underestimate this sword." The old Taoist stroked the blade and said with awe, "I failed to overcome the tribulation that year and should have been struck by the thunder to ashes. But because I had this sword with me, I was able to survive without a scratch!"
"Are you serious?" Princess Mingzhu hurried over.
Anything that can withstand thunder and lightning must not be an ordinary thing!
"Absolutely true."
"This sword... looks familiar." Princess Mingzhu suddenly became excited and reached out to touch it.
The moment her hand reached out, a faint light suddenly flashed on the sword, as if something was activated!
Princess Mingzhu's eyes widened and even her hands began to tremble slightly!
"This...this sword...what on earth is going on!" The old Taoist was stunned.
"Don't be surprised. I recognize this sword." Princess Mingzhu tried her best to hide her surprise and said calmly, "This is the sword I used when I was a deity in heaven!"
"So the princess is truly a deity descended from heaven! It's my fault for being blind!" The Taoist immediately knelt down with a humbly expression, "I pay my respects to the true deity! I will need your help in the future!"
Princess Mingzhu proudly picked up the broken sword and caressed it lovingly, "Can this sword of mine be used in the formation to deal with Ye Jiulin?"
The old Taoist priest changed his previous arrogance and carefully considered his words, "Yes, Princess! Ye Jiulin was able to be born at the same time as the princess, so he must have some extraordinary qualities. For a soul like hers, she naturally needs such a powerful magical tool to protect it."
Princess Mingzhu was a little impatient, "Then let's get started! Don't let me down!"
"Of course not." The old Taoist said attentively, "This formation is called the Soul-Breaking Formation. Although it looks ordinary, it is actually extremely powerful. I will start to cast the spell now. When Ye Jiulin's soul is captured, the princess will understand the power of this formation!"
After saying that, he walked to the incense table, picked up the whisk and started muttering something.
Not long after, a white banner on the incense table fluttered up.
The old Taoist drew complicated symbols on it, then waved his whisk, and the white banner flew straight to the cross wooden frame in the center of the hall and stuck closely behind it.
Princess Mingzhu stood aside and watched intently. Suddenly, several strings of small bells hanging in the hall began to jingle.
Princess Mingzhu glanced out the window. "This is really strange! I've already issued a clear order forbidding those slaves from entering this side hall. How come someone is still here at this late hour?"
The old Taoist paused his movements and smiled flatteringly, "Princess, don't you want to know the power of this formation? These people have arrived at the perfect time. I will show you the power of this formation!"
After saying that, he took the whisk in his hand and jumped out of the window.
After a burst of fighting, four men in black were pushed in by the Taoist priest.
Princess Mingzhu looked surprised. "Are you assassins? Who sent you?"
The man in black knelt down and said, "Princess, we are not assassins. We are secret guards sent by the Queen Mother to protect you!"
"Sent by the Empress Dowager?" Princess Mingzhu sneered, "Then I will treat you well."
After saying that, he glanced at the old Taoist.
The old Taoist priest understood and walked up to the four people. "Look, what is that?"
The four of them couldn't help but look in the direction the old Taoist pointed. At this time, the white flags in the formation floated up.
With just one glance, the four of them could no longer look away, and their eyes gradually became dull.
"Go!"
"Go to the formation!"
The old Taoist made a low, bewitching sound.
The four of them lined up and walked into the formation obediently, as if they were possessed.
The old Taoist muttered something, waved his whisk and began to perform a ritual.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew in the hall, causing the candlelight to flicker.
Then, the wooden frame in the formation began to spin rapidly, causing the four men in black to spin as well, so fast that the scene inside could not be seen clearly.
When the speed gradually slowed down, only a pool of thick blood remained on the ground.
"What do you think, Princess?" the old Taoist asked, bowing.
"Indeed! I didn't expect this Soul-Breaking Formation could kill people like this!" Princess Mingzhu's eyes were icy. "Go ahead! I can't wait any longer!"
The old Taoist nodded: "As you command! After tonight, I guarantee that there will be no more Ye Jiulin in this world!"
