"As long as I can kill you before the turbid energy completely invades your body, and then bring the souls of Old Madam Ning and the others back to the mortal world..."
Jiang Yuan parted her thin lips slightly, her voice soft, yet every word clearly reached the old man's ears.
She isn't completely immune to negative influences, but she can't be exposed to too much negative energy.
As long as she's fast enough, she'll be fine once she enters the underworld.
"You, how could you..." The old man was surprised when he heard these words from Madam Ning.
How did Jiang Yuan know that he had hidden Madam Ning's soul in the underworld?
"It seems I guessed right." Seeing the old man's reaction, Jiang Yuan's eyes gleamed.
She guessed right.
The souls of Old Madam Ning and the others were imprisoned in the underworld.
He knew that the Ning family would definitely send someone to rescue Old Madam Ning and the others, so he imprisoned them in the underworld.
If the soul is hidden in the mortal world, any Taoist priest or sorcerer with a high level of cultivation might be able to find it.
However, if one hides the soul in the underworld, no matter how capable an ordinary person is, they cannot enter the underworld, let alone take the soul out of the underworld.
Including her.
The old man was being wary of others, and also of her.
Before the old man could answer, Jiang Yuan flicked her finger and parted her thin lips slightly, "Break!"
The word "一" (yī) transformed the previously impenetrable void into something like a mirror shattered into pieces.
A crisp sound rang out.
As darkness faded, a warm orange light entered the old man's eyes.
Having spent so much time in the dark, he was also very uncomfortable when he saw light.
He hates light.
He hates anything bright, whether it's the lights of the world or the sun.
As his eyes gradually adjusted to the surrounding light, the old man was able to see where he was.
This is……
Ning family!
Jiang Yuan was standing in the same spot as before!
She didn't move an inch?
The old man was surprised.
He initially thought Jiang Yuan had merely used illusion magic to lure him into that darkness, but he never expected...
Jiang Yuan pulled him directly in front of her!
And he remained completely calm, without even realizing it himself...
With a wave of her hand, Jiang Yuan quickly pulled the white silk binding the old man, dragging him into the gates of the underworld.
Before the old man could even cry out for help, he had already disappeared from Jiang Yuan's sight.
Jiang Yuan's figure also disappeared.
The gates to the underworld on earth are slowly closing.
Outside the Jiang family villa.
The silver moonlight spilled onto the lawn, coating it with a layer of silvery light.
Li Cheng looked at where Madam Ning was, trying to peek inside through the window.
Unfortunately, the distance was too far and his eyesight was poor, so he couldn't see anything clearly.
All I could hear was something falling to the ground; the sound was extremely loud.
But after that sound, it became completely silent, and no one knew what was happening inside or whether Master Jiang and the others were alright.
Before Li Cheng could ask, Jiang Ningyuan, who was staring intently at the window, spoke up, his tone serious and earnest, "Something's not right."
"Young Master, do you also feel something is wrong?" Li Cheng asked.
However--
Jiang Ningyuan didn't hear Li Cheng's words at all; his eyes were fixed on the black mist emanating from the room, and—
Turbid air!
