Chapter 219

It is obvious that long ago, the entire Tafengcun was already under their control.

Here, not only is there a Qilin Temple on the mountain, but there is also an underground palace below.

Even the whole Tafengcun originally lay within a great formation array.

I couldn't help wondering, if I had not come to Tafengcun today, what would happen after Liu Junyan succeeded in expanding yin?

Even if the soul is only temporarily projected, even if Liu Junyan's fate can withstand this calamity, during that period of soul projection the outskirts will surely be breached.

Fengli Shu is not fighting alone; behind her stands the entire Phoenix clan.

Right now, on the outskirts, Liu Junyan and Hui Moqiong must also be leading people in a breakout toward this place.

I surveyed the whole underground palace; beneath layer upon layer of formation arrays it was like an iron barrel, and for them to break in would require a great deal of time.

Besides, someone must guard my physical body, as well as Du Chan and Jiang Bin.

Fengli Shu also said she had prepared for this day for many years.

She herself had not expected this day to come so suddenly, but now that it has, she has no reason to let me go.

The lights flickered, once again wavering between bright and dim.

Yīnfēng swept past, and the Taiji diagram beneath my feet began to turn.

When the Taiji diagram turned, the entire Bagua formation rotated along with it.

Everything around seemed to become illusory; I only felt my soul being swept up by the formation, as if it were about to be twisted.

It has begun.

Fengli Shu has long wanted to seize my body, and now the Body Seizure formation array has been activated.

I tried to move my feet, but I could not budge even a fraction.

After this rotation stabilizes, I can foresee that the yin-yang fish of the Taiji diagram will swap positions, and at the same time my soul and Fengli Shu's soul will be exchanged.

This is using the Taiji Bagua formation to accomplish Body Seizure.

I must say, this is an extremely exquisite method of Body Seizure.

I now possess only a wisp of soul, with no means of self-defense; even my natal magical artifact has been sealed off outside the underground palace.

Fengli Shu knows me too well; every move I make is under her control.

She once even controlled my life and death, didn't she?

The natal curse was originally meant to help her control me!

Amidst this illusion, I heard Fengli Shu's confident laugh: "Ah Slave, rest assured, I will not let you die instantly; the backlash you inflicted on me, I will give you ample time to savor slowly."

"Soon, very soon; when I awaken in your body, the natal curse will vanish automatically, and everything you have will become mine. Guess—will your brother Yan and your brother Yulin be able to tell that you've changed your core?"

"Ah Slave, are you afraid? Do you regret it?!"

I gave a light chuckle and replied, "Now that it's come to this, do you think there are no more variables?"

As soon as I spoke, Fengli Shu froze.

But then she laughed even more arrogantly: "Variables? Do you think someone will still come to rescue you? Ah Slave, prick up your ears and listen carefully—tell me what you hear."

I heard a rumbling thunder, like it was right above our heads.

Is this the tribulation thunder?

Fengli Shu said: "The Qilin formation should also be activating now. Ah Slave, take a good look at the big gift I've prepared for you."

In an instant, everything around seemed to turn illusory; my sight pierced through layer after layer of earth, and I actually saw the scene in Tafengcun.

First to come into view was the rear mountain, where the gate of the Qilin Temple was once again crowded with kneeling villagers.

But this time it was different: those kneeling in strange postures at the temple gate were all the men and children of the village.

Looking further into the temple, my heart suddenly jolted.

The Qilin deity bearing a hundred children cracked again.

This time the crack was thorough; black qi streamed continuously from the fissure, and even the hundred children on the Qilin's back had their heads sliced off, the broken ends spewing black qi outward.

All the black qi surged out of the Qilin Temple, heading straight for the Jiang family in Tafengcun.

Meanwhile, the village women, all pregnant with swollen bellies, gathered together at the Jiang household.

My mother lay on the bed, her belly as big as a net, looking as if she were about to give birth at any moment.

Those women with big bellies were all crowded in the birthing room, and I saw my grandmother among them.

She indeed also had a big belly.

Except for my mother, the bellies of all the pregnant women were now emitting black qi outward.

That black qi first came from the Qilin Temple, entered the pregnant women's bellies, and then continuously flowed into my mother's belly.

Soon, the pregnant women's bellies gradually deflated one by one.

Not only did their bellies deflate, but eventually the women themselves seemed to have been drained of essence and blood, leaving only skin and bone, yet they remained standing upright, motionless.

My mother lay face up, both hands clutching her huge belly, her legs constantly scraping the bedsheet as she tossed, blood continually oozing from beneath her.

This clearly indicated she was about to go into labor.

She had only been pregnant a few days, yet this fetus was truly yin and evil.

But seeing today's scene, I have already understood everything.

The other pregnant women in Tafengcun with swollen bellies were not carrying fetuses at all, but rather Yin Sha qi; only my mother's pregnancy is genuine.

Ten months of pregnancy… no, according to custom, it could also be premature or delayed…

But regardless, when the melon ripens the stem falls, and the Jiang household will welcome a boy named Jiang Bin.

If Jiang Bin's soul has already been smoothly drawn into my mother's womb, then in this situation he has indeed become a vessel.

A freak bearing a hundred children of Resentful Qi!

But they never calculated that Jiang Bin would have a father skilled in deceptive embroidery.

Jiang Que has already performed expanding yin several times, forcibly keeping Jiang Bin's soul within his own body.

Jiang Bin's soul did not separate and enter Tafengcun; the baby in my mother's womb had no soul.

Even if it were eventually born, it would be nothing more than a puppet soaked in Yin-Sha Qi.

But…… the point isn't this fetus; it's why they released the infant's Resentful Qi that had been suppressed for so long in the Qilin Temple.

What do they intend to do with this Resentful Qi?

The rolling heavenly thunder—is it aimed at me, or at this Resentful Qi?

Heart-rending wails and cries for help shouted from my mother's mouth, bean-sized beads of sweat mixed with tears trickled down the corners of her eyes.

She shouted, "I won't give birth anymore, I'll never give birth again……"

This situation lasted for over a minute; my mother's body shuddered violently, and then the blood beneath her increased more and more, gushing out like a burst dam.

Accompanied by a loud wail, a baby whose whole body was bluish-purple and blackish emerged from beneath my mother.

The baby's whole body was wrapped in black qi that had condensed into resentful spirits, pressing close together as if they had grown from the baby's flesh and blood.

The baby planted its hands and feet on the ground, carrying those resentful spirits, and dashed toward the rear mountain like a wild beast.
