The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 473: A Dead End! Unable to Possess the Immortal’s Body!

The person before him shed the disguise of the Face-Changing Talisman, and the mismatch between the body and the soul became even more apparent.

Ye Siheng immediately understood, "You didn’t vanish completely, and you stole a woman’s body?"

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

Yao Sheng’s face darkened.

Yes, yes, yes. In his previous life, he had been a eunuch, and after his plans failed, he could only seize a woman’s body, which severely tarnished his reputation!

But soon he became shocked, scrutinizing Ye Siheng up and down. "Your Highness can see my true soul form with just a glance?!"

He thought to himself, Ye Siheng didn’t even use a talisman to open his spiritual eye.

"You are exaggerating it. I’m far inferior to A’Li." Ye Siheng mused for a moment before coming to a realization. "You probably used a Fake Golden Core to reform your soul, first taking over Yuan Liang’s body, then someone else’s, and finally this woman’s."

Lady Wu and the others were both stunned and confused. What were they even talking about?

Yao Sheng, having had his identity exposed, showed no panic. Instead, he threw his head back and let out a sharp laugh.

"Indeed! Indeed! I have taken over several bodies, and this one will last me a few months!" Yao Sheng’s gaze locked onto Ye Siheng. "Prince, I could’ve possessed a more suitable body, but everything was ruined because of your wife! Now, you’ll pay the price for her!"

Ye Siheng, being able to see his true soul, was clearly a prime candidate for cultivation with an exceptionally strong body! Maybe even better suited than Ming Sheng and Chu Zhongwei!

Seeing Yao Sheng’s near-maniacal state, the immobilized Qingyang shouted, "Your Highness, be careful!"

"You won’t escape!" Yao Sheng had already committed everything. He pressed a mechanism in the ring on his finger, revealing a small, sharp knife. After slicing his finger open, his palm was soaked with blood as he slammed it onto the ground.

A fierce wind erupted, and the eight positions of the symbol array on the floor emitted a sinister red glow!

This soul-stealing array had been set up by Yao Sheng long before, waiting for Ye Siheng to enter the room.

Ye Siheng remembered that Nanli had once mentioned the talisman she placed within him was incredibly intricate. He could handle most talismans, but those used by others might be resisted to some extent.

Yet now, as the array activated, the talisman within him began to show signs of breaking down!

Not only that, but his strength was also being suppressed, and his body was growing weaker. Ye Siheng realized that Yao Sheng intended to tear apart his soul, thus seizing his body!

Surprise flashed in his eyes. "How are you able to break A’Li’s talisman?"

"Hahaha!" Yao Sheng laughed. "Because the core of this array is suppressed by royal blood! Prince, while my power is no longer what it was, your wife cannot compare to me when it comes to arrays!"

He had painstakingly studied for so many years--did they think he’d achieved nothing?

Ye Siheng collapsed to the ground, sweat beading on his forehead, yet his presence remained regal.

"Royal... blood?" His mind couldn’t process it for a moment.

Yao Sheng casually explained, "It’s the fetus in Chen Yuanzhu’s womb--three months along. The child is already formed enough to be useful!"

Ye Siheng was stunned.

Qingyang was horrified. "You... you cut the child out?!" freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Lady Wu, upon hearing this, also stumbled back in fear.

Yao Sheng waved a sleeve dismissively. "To achieve greatness, one must overlook the small details! Without this, how could I have set up this soul-stealing array? Prince, this child came at the perfect time. The heavens are still on my side!"

Qingyang gritted his teeth, knowing that the prince was in grave danger.

He tried to break free of the Body-Freezing Talisman, but Yao Sheng, having been the Grand Tutor for decades, had crafted talismans that weren’t easily broken.

With no other choice, Qingyang shouted, "Lady Wu, this man intends to harm the prince! Call for help!"

Lady Wu was momentarily stunned, but quickly nodded and made to run out.

However, Yao Sheng used another Body-Freezing Talisman to immobilize her and the others, saying, "Sister-in-law, don’t be foolish. Only I can save Changwen. Rest assured, once I become the Ninth Prince, I’ll cure him immediately."

Lady Wu’s mind was in chaos. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to call for help; she simply couldn’t.

Yao Sheng had reached a point of no return.

He set up another array to prevent the guards from sensing anything amiss and attacking during the soul-stealing process.

After completing the preparations, Yao Sheng looked back at Ye Siheng. He expected to see the prince’s soul torn and nearly dissipated, but instead, he was shocked and staggered backward.

The array’s malevolent red light was tearing Ye Siheng’s soul apart on one side, but it was being restored on the other!

Such a powerful soul--he had never seen anything like it!

Closing his gaping mouth, Yao Sheng quickly formulated another plan. The array could only last for three hours. If Ye Siheng continued like this, once the array was undone, Yao Sheng would be finished!

In a flash of insight, Yao Sheng’s soul left his body and flew into Ye Siheng’s.

Though risky, this allowed him to work with the array and quickly rip apart Ye Siheng’s soul.

Upon entering Ye Siheng’s body, Yao Sheng felt unprecedented comfort--this body was unbelievably strong!

What an incredible combination of a powerful body and soul! Ye Siheng truly was favored by the heavens!

Yet as the array continued suppressing Ye Siheng’s soul and slowly tearing it apart, Yao Sheng noticed something peculiar--the Ninth Prince was missing half of his soul.

Shocked and perplexed, he wondered how someone missing half a soul could not only avoid madness but remain so physically and mentally powerful.

Who exactly was Ye Siheng?

But with the situation so urgent, Yao Sheng pushed his thoughts aside and continued working with the array, trying to force out Ye Siheng’s soul.

Suddenly, a bright light flared from deep within Ye Siheng’s dantian.

"What..."

Instinctively, Yao Sheng moved toward it and was horrified by what he saw--a Golden Core?!

And it was surrounded by boundless immortal energy!

Realization struck Yao Sheng like a bolt of lightning. As the Golden Core’s light grew even stronger, he fled Ye Siheng’s body in terror.

His soul trembled with fear.

The heavens weren’t favoring him--they were giving him a death sentence!

Ye Siheng was a reincarnated immortal, and his body could never be possessed!

Now that the array had awakened Ye Siheng’s immortal consciousness, golden light began to swirl around him.

The aura it emitted was so overpowering that everyone present fainted.

The sky darkened, and the sun was blotted out.

The golden light coalesced into a figure, but its face was obscured by the brilliance.

"With what little you have, you dare try to steal my body?"

The voice was low but carried an overwhelming pressure that induced sheer terror.

Yao Sheng knelt, feeling his soul on the verge of shattering. "I... I have offended you. Immortal, please have mercy!"
