Before Jiang Yuan could react, Old Madam Ning and Ning Yue sat up from the bed, their lifeless and empty eyes staring straight at Jiang Yuan. An unnatural smile appeared on their lips, and the two of them said in unison, "It seems that your magic power is even less than I expected. You can't even break this little body control spell."
"You're from the underworld, aren't you?" Jiang Yuan asked coldly, looking at the two people in front of her.
She knew that person was looking at her through the eyes of Old Madam Ning and Ning Yue.
She had only guessed before, but now she was certain.
The other party is from the underworld!
And it's the same person who tried to release the Ghost King last time!
Hehehe—
"Lord Yama is wise."
The other party didn't deny it; instead, they readily admitted it.
"Lord Yama has been looking for me, but has not been able to find me. Now that I have personally appeared before Lord Yama, Lord Yama must seize this opportunity."
"If you can't catch me, it might be you, sir, who will die."
"Madam Ning spoke up."
But Jiang Yuan knew that this was what the other party wanted to say to her through Old Madam Ning's mouth.
Jiang Yuan frowned, her delicate and beautiful face filled with seriousness.
"Lord Yama has sharp eyes and should be able to tell at a glance that their souls are not in their bodies, but only I know where their souls are."
"So, Your Majesty, how do you intend to deal with me?"
The other party continued, using Old Madam Ning's words as a provocation, showing no fear whatsoever.
He was a little worried before he faced Jiang Yuan.
When he saw that Jiang Yuan couldn't even break his spell, he knew clearly that she had used up a lot of her magic power on the night of the Hundred Ghosts Parade and hadn't fully recovered yet.
If that's the case, then things will be much easier!
A 50/50 split?
It should be 40/60 now!
He's six, Jiang is four!
Who would have thought that one day he would be able to rise above the King of Hell in the underworld!
"When you sacrificed your body to mend your soul, we all thought you were going to die. But we never expected that you would come back to the mortal world."
"Sir, you really know how to hide. If it weren't for that useless old man, we would never have known your identity in the present world."
The other party continued speaking.
Jiang Yuan knew that the useless old man he was talking about was Yi Changsheng.
"However, it's not too late to know now," the other party said, changing the subject.
Jiang Yuan is much weaker than he thought!
Tonight, he might be able to...
Kill the King of Hell!
"So I guessed right too? Yi Changsheng's soul was sealed, but the Underworld didn't know about it. You... you're wrong. It was you who were secretly plotting and concealing this matter." Jiang Yuan narrowed her eyes, catching the key point from what the other party said.
He just said "them," which means that he's not the only traitor in the underworld!
More than one...
That makes things a bit tricky.
Catching one traitor is easy, but finding all the traitors is...
It takes a lot of time and effort.
The other party remained silent.
His silence was tantamount to an answer.
"As long as Lord Yama captures me, he will know everything."
"It all depends on whether you, sir, have the ability now."
"In the underworld I respected you and feared your power, but now you are no match for me."
"That's how arrogantly they've been acting," the other party said.
As soon as he finished speaking, another gust of wind swept through.
The shattered glass window shattered with a loud bang.
It shattered into pieces, as if hit by a marble.
Glass shards fell to the ground and splashed up.
Jiang Yuan's expression changed drastically. She raised her hand and waved it, immediately creating a barrier for Ning Yue and Old Madam Ning, who were close to the window, for fear that the flying glass shards would scratch them.
As the other party looked through Madam Ning's eyes at the solidified barrier, their smile grew even brighter.
"My lord, you are still the same as before. You may appear cold on the surface, but you have a very kind heart."
“I have Ning Chuxin and Ning Yue under control. Logically speaking, they should be your enemies now, but you still stepped in to protect them at the critical moment.”
"By doing this, aren't you exposing your weaknesses?"
"You're afraid they'll get hurt."
"And it makes it even easier for me to deal with you. I can just use them to threaten you and make you give in."
The other party continued to restrain Madam Ning and spoke.
Although Madam Ning's eyes were empty and lifeless, the old man in the Chen family, who had opened his third eye, looked on with great interest.
He has the perfect combination of timing, location, and popular support!
Jiang Yuan's magical powers had not yet recovered, and she also wanted to protect the two members of the Ning family...
In other words, he could use Madam Ning to threaten Jiang Yuan.
As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Ning and Ning Yue slowly raised their hands and choked themselves.
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, looking at the two people in front of her with an icy expression, as if she could see through them the person who was controlling them.
“If you are willing to kneel down and beg me now, I might consider letting them go,” Ning Yue said.
"I have accumulated countless merits and hold a celestial position. Are you not afraid of shortening your lifespan and destroying your own magical power by kneeling before an unknown junior like you?" Jiang Yuan said coldly, his dark eyes as deep as an abyss.
She cast spells on ordinary people, and not just one spell, but also threatened their lives.
This person...
She will never let this go!
"What does it matter if I shorten my lifespan if I can get the King of Hell to kneel before me?" the other party said without any concern.
He could brag about getting the King of Hell to kneel before him for the rest of his life.
Furthermore, if Yama were to kneel now, it would be to the Ning family.
Even if it shortens one's lifespan, it's Grandma Ning's lifespan that's shortened.
"So, Your Majesty, will you choose to preserve your dignity or save them?" the other party asked again.
Jiang Yuan always said that innocent people should not be killed indiscriminately, and he set many rules and regulations in the underworld, always saying that the overall situation and righteousness should be taken into account.
