The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 96 - 93: Let No One Go
Chapter 96: Chapter 93: Let No One Go
The mountain wind howled, and in the darkness, aside from the children being carried up the mountain one by one, the matriarch of the loyal and brave General Residence was also carried up the mountain by her own son.
Lady Zhou had neither arms nor legs and had been turned into a human swine by her daughter-in-law. Fortunately, her eldest son returned, saved her, and fiercely taught that poisonous woman a lesson!
The descendants of the Jiang Family were all born to her, and even if they were not, she was still their legitimate mother/grandmother. Pulling them to block the heavenly thunder for her, what was wrong with that?
Their lives were all bestowed by her, and it was only right for them to shield her from heavenly thunder. How dare that poisonous woman blame her?
She didn’t know that all this was the Ruo Family’s fault. If it hadn’t been for the Ruo Family seizing their Jiang Family’s destiny, her offspring wouldn’t have died, her limbs wouldn’t have been amputated, her eyes wouldn’t have gone blind, and she would still be the noble and admired matriarch of the loyal and brave General Residence.
Glory, riches, and prosperity were enjoyed endlessly.
Thinking of the Ruo Family filled Lady Zhou with bone-deep hatred. Gritting her teeth, she said, "How come they started the ritual with just one little girl from the Ruo Family captured? Didn’t Zhao say that Granny Lei had taken her four grandsons into the city? Why not capture them all? I want to steal all of Granny Lei’s descendants’ fortunes! I want them each to die an untimely death! Prevent them from seizing our Jiang Family’s fortunes again!"
"Although we only captured one girl from the Ruo Family, Master Xuan Ji said that the girl is the reincarnation of a Fairy Child. The reason why the fortunes of the Ruo Family suddenly improved is because of her! A Fairy Child’s fate is not ordinary, possessing blessings, prosperity, longevity, joy, wealth, and fortune in full. Whichever family such a child is born into will undoubtedly soar to great heights, be flooded with wealth and dispel all misfortune, reversing their fate. Master Xuan Ji said that it doesn’t matter now even if we don’t capture the others from the Ruo Family, having that girl is enough!"
Lady Zhou thought of Ruo Xuan, who was as beautiful as a Fairy Child.
Could she truly be the reincarnation of a Fairy Child?
How could Granny Lei be so fortunate?
Choosing a husband from among refugees, he turned out to have the fate of a Great General, and her sons were all outstanding figures with both riches and honor. And now, a granddaughter who is the reincarnation of a Fairy Child?
Remembering the last seventy-seven rounds of heavenly thunder, Lady Zhou couldn’t help but ask, "If that girl is the reincarnation of a Fairy Child, she wouldn’t know Immortal Techniques, would she? Is Master Xuan Ji confident in seizing her fate?"
"Master Xuan Ji has stated that since she has reincarnated as a human, she will have no memory of her past life and will just be an ordinary person. How could she understand Immortal Techniques? Besides, even if she does, she is currently just a three-year-old girl. Can she possibly compare to Master Xuan Ji’s hundred years of cultivation?"
Jiang Liang accidentally overheard his father and mother discussing inviting Master Xuan Ji to perform a ritual to seize the fortunes of the entire Ruo Family during the time of the Ruo patriarch’s funeral.
Late on, their family’s fortunes changed, growing richer and more noble. His father’s military rank climbed higher and higher. Even his studies and martial practice seemed divinely assisted, and he was victorious in all battles. Eventually, he too became a General thanks to military merits.
Thus, he believed his mother’s claim that the Ruo Family had sought a powerful person to steal their family’s fortunes.
The Jiang Family had already controlled the entire military force of Shengping Prefecture and even temporarily oversaw the Ministry of Defense.
Everything was fine when suddenly, The Emperor sent a Governor of two provinces.
His father died inexplicably, and his sons, daughter, and brothers were gone too, forcing him to suspect that it was indeed the Ruo Family who had found someone powerful to take back their luck.
That’s why he cooperated so eagerly with Master Xuan Ji’s requests.
He must take back the Ruo Family’s fortunes, or else their Jiang Family would be finished.
Jiang Liang carried Lady Zhou and arrived first at the cave halfway up the mountain.
Candles filled the cave, making it as bright as day.
The walls of the cave were covered with blood-red runes, and the ground also had a strange formation drawn with runes.
Jiang Liang felt dizzy after only one glance and dared not look again.
Master Xuan Ji pointed at two spots and instructed both of them, "These are your positions. Sit on opposite sides and don’t step out of the lines. Especially during the ritual, no matter what happens, you cannot step out. Otherwise, the fortune seizing will fail. If it fails, you may lose years of your life or even die. Don’t blame me if I don’t remind you then."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liang furrowed his brows, "Could we really lose our lives?"
Master Xuan Ji replied calmly, "That is a natural possibility. With any formation, backlash can occur. If you are frightened, you can go down the mountain now, and I will not proceed with the ritual."
Lady Zhou inquired, "Does Master Xuan Ji have confidence?"
Master Xuan Ji smiled, "I, the master, never undertake anything I’m unsure of. As long as you obediently follow my instructions, success is guaranteed."
Lady Zhou responded eagerly, "We will certainly follow Master Xuan Ji’s instructions."
Jiang Liang thought of how this wasn’t Master Xuan Ji’s first time performing fortune seizing; he had done it ten years ago. Now, with his cultivation even higher, the success rate must be greater. He said, "We all trust Master Xuan Ji."
Master Xuan Ji nodded, but internally, he felt a touch of disdain for the greedy mother and son pair. They shouldn’t blame him for using them to bear the punishment of the Heavenly Dao on his behalf, "Sit down first, I will draw the fortune-transferring talismans for you."
Mrs. Zhou, gnashing her teeth, said to Master Xuan Ji, "Master Xuan Ji, this time I want every single person from the Ruo Family dead! Not a single one shall be spared! I will have every descendant of the Lei Family die an unnatural death, leaving none behind."
She had been too kind ten years ago, giving the Ruo Family a chance to bite back.
The black Demon Lord dog glanced at Mrs. Zhou; this heartless old monster was indeed dark-hearted, which he liked!
Suddenly, the black dog sensed a familiar aura, it rolled its eyes, quickly stood up from the ground, and hid in the darkest corner, concealing its own presence.
Master Xuan Ji nonchalantly nodded his head and started to draw talismans on the two of them.
Time was getting late, once he finished drawing the talismans to transfer the calamity, he could start the spellcasting.
At this moment, Ruo Xuan and Xuanyuan Que were brought into the cave by Xuan Min, one on each side.
Ruo Xuan had already heard Mrs. Zhou’s words.
Ruo Xuan became angry, and one Immortal Technique after another was thrown out!
They did not spare anyone!
Because Master Xuan Ji was concentrating on drawing talismans, he did not notice Ruo Xuan’s slight movements.
Drawing talismans required a concentrated effort without interruption, and after he finished, Xuan Min had already directed people to place each child in different positions.
This time, Xuanyuan Que did not stop Ruo Xuan, as if he were completely asleep and unaware of anything.
In the corner, the Demon Lord: "..."
Was Xuanyuan Que truly asleep, or pretending?
He couldn’t tell at the moment!
This Xuanyuan Que was always full of tricks; he simply used a spell to test him.
Xuanyuan Que was suspicious, the Demon Lord had deliberately hidden, making Xuanyuan think he was the mastermind behind all this, and then kill him!
Xuanyuan Que opened his eyes after a hit and gave a faint glance in the black dog’s direction.
At this moment, the Demon Lord was so excited he felt like crying: "He found me, Xuanyuan Que found me!"
Quick, send an Immortal Technique to kill this honorable self!
This honorable self doesn’t want to live like a dog anymore!
Xuanyuan Que just glanced once, then indifferently shifted his gaze away.
Ruo Xuan, perplexed, silently asked, "What is the Demon Lord doing?"
Xuanyuan Que silently replied, "Confirming our identities?"
Ruo Xuan: "..."
Hadn’t she just exposed herself by using Immortal Technique?
The Demon Lord was dumbfounded.
Could it be? After reincarnating as a human, did Xuanyuan Que really lose all his memories?
Otherwise, why would he show no reaction upon discovering himself?
Then, could his soul not... What was his intention?
By now, Master Xuan Ji had already drawn talismans on every child.
These children were all blessed with fortune and longevity; originally, he had planned to steal their lifespans to extend his own, but now there was no need. He drew disaster-bearing talismans on all of them; in a short while, they would only need to bear the heavenly lightning for him!
At 11 PM, he would begin!
