True Heiress Cuts Ties, The Marquis Household Bitterly Regrets-Chapter 280 - 279: The Secret of Taiyin Evil

Dongfang Hong pushed Dongfang Chenyuan away and said sharply, "Father is doing this for the people of the world. Do you think I enjoy killing? Do you know how much guilt the Dongfang Family has carried? Do you know how many lives from the Dongfang Family have been sacrificed? Dongfang Chenyuan, you must learn to grow up and inherit the responsibility of the Dongfang Family."

Dongfang Chenyuan’s hair was disheveled, and he wept in pain, "Although the Prince is cold, he has treated me very well. Prince Su Mansion is also my home, the Prince is also my family. Is there really no other way?"

"There is none!"

Dongfang Hong said chokingly, "If possible, I also wish to protect the everlasting life of the Great Chao Country with my life!"

"Family Head, the formation is set!"

Mr Dongfang shouted, pulling him back to his senses.

A red halo formed a Spirit Killing Array, which was also the Dongfang Family Head’s rarely used Slaying Array!

"Those who use this formation will lose lifespan and cultivation."

Dongfang Hong said in a muffled voice, "So, Dongfang Chenyuan, do you think I really want to use such a harmful array to both others and myself?"

Dongfang Chenyuan looked in shock at those setting up the formation, almost all of whom were his elders.

This array could even potentially consume the last of their lifespans.

Dongfang Chenyuan suddenly felt heartbroken, realizing for the first time how heavy the burden of the Dongfang Family was.

He also for the first time understood Dongfang Hong’s love for him. If he didn’t care for this son, he wouldn’t have ’exiled’ him to Shangjing to do such simple tasks.

The previous life was truly enjoyable for him.

"You all want us dead, but we refuse to let you have your way."

Within the Taiyin Evil, there were nine evils in total. In such a crisis, they began to slaughter each other.

Three of these evils perished in Yu Nianzhao’s runes, trampled underfoot by the other six as stepping stones.

Of the remaining six evils, two escaped first, bound under the Spirit Killing Array, shrouded in red light, releasing shrill screams.

The four evils were in a panic, attempting to manipulate Xie Jiuxiao to find another exit.

Mu Hongxuan stood in front of him, resolutely saying, "I swear to protect the Prince to the death!"

He dared not harm Xie Jiuxiao, using his mortal body to fend off the Taiyin Evil’s attack.

"Prince, you must come back."

Mu Hongxuan was covered in blood, and in a daze, he looked at Xie Jiuxiao’s fierce eyes and suddenly smiled and said.

"Mr Mu!"

Yiu Renjian was anxiously worried at the bottom, but without martial strength, he could only fret.

"Ziyin, you must not come to harm, the Empress just gave birth to my legitimate eldest son, he is the Crown Prince, I still need you, you are my own brother, you cannot leave."

Emperor Anqing called out earnestly.

It seemed to hear their voices, Xie Jiuxiao’s consciousness was pulled back.

He looked blankly at the blood-covered person in front of him, breathing rapidly, "Mu Hongxuan, leave, this is not where you should be."

"Prince, I... I won’t leave, the Prince must be safe."

Mu Hongxuan fell down in despair, stubbornly tugging at Xie Jiuxiao’s clothes.

"What an annoying thing, then let’s devour your soul to nourish ourselves."

The Taiyin Evil became angry, and a hideous ghost face emerged from the black mist, opening its mouth to devour Mu Hongxuan’s soul.

"Jiu!"

Yu Nianzhao shouted.

The eaves trembled, a shadow rose from below, opening its bloody mouth towards the Taiyin Evil.

Everyone instinctively held their breath, witnessing the shadow of the great serpent devouring two exposed evils.

"My God! What is this thing?"

Mr Dongfang clearly saw Jiu’s nine swaying heads, its huge form leaving people dumbfounded.

"This is the shadow of a fierce beast, but not just a shadow! This power... it doesn’t seem like a summoned Fierce Beast Talisman, but truly exists."

Dongfang Hong trembled as he spoke, feeling his soul was overwhelmed by the pressure brought by Jiu Ying.

The Taiyin Evil was still resisting stubbornly, two evils entangled with Xie Jiuxiao, unwilling to be swallowed just like that.

"Help! Save me!"

The two evils cried out in different voices, but the other two did not wish to be dragged down, they exerted force and trampled the two evils down, ultimately witnessing the two being completely devoured by Jiu.

The once extremely arrogant Taiyin Evil instantly turned into the last two evils.

"Is this this girl’s power?"

Mr Dongfang swallowed, his gaze towards Yu Nianzhao had already shifted from contempt to respect.

"Out of the nine evils, only two fell into our Spirit Killing Array, our array is already nearly failing."

Dongfang Hong furrowed his brow, uneasily looking towards the formation setters of the Dongfang Family.

They trembled, blood already oozing from the corners of their mouths, ready to collapse at any moment.

"The sinister power of these two evils should not be underestimated, let alone banishing nine all at once."

Dongfang Hong hurriedly shouted, "Withdraw the Spirit Killing Array."

If not withdrawn, the backlash from the residual power of the two evils would kill all those setting the formation.

"Yes!"

They withdrew from the formation, and Mu Hongxuan was kicked off the eaves.

Yiu Renjian and Dongfang Chenyuan quickly caught him, otherwise, at this strength, Mu Hongxuan would have been crippled or dead.

"We were created by the Xie Family, they used our souls to create the Taiyin Evil, now discarding us after use, where is such a good deal!"

The last two evils were extremely angry, roaring, "When Xie’s ancestors created us, they prayed for national fortune. We brought them prosperity, invincibility! It was the Xie Family’s generations of dissatisfaction, forcibly creating nine evils from one. They didn’t want to contribute power to us anymore because they feared we would backlash and destroy the brilliance they painstakingly built. They want to eliminate us, hahaha, don’t you find it ridiculous?"

He pointed to Emperor Anqing and said, "As an emperor, do you think this is fair?"

Emperor Anqing had not heard of this secret affair for the first time, but hearing it from their mouths still made him feel shocked.

Emperor Anqing stammered, "Yes, human greed is boundless like a snake swallowing an elephant. The Xie Family started on the wrong foot, but that is no excuse for you to kill recklessly. How many people has the Taiyin Evil killed, don’t you know in your heart?"

Who knew, the Taiyin Evil then spoke of another horrifying revelation.

The Taiyin Evil said eerily, "Hehehe... you really speak with righteousness, but do you really want to destroy me? For I am your Xie Family’s ancestor! After my death, my unfilial descendants turned me into the Taiyin Evil, to put it bluntly, I am your great-great-great-great-grandfather!"
