Jiang Ding's body suddenly sank. He felt a crushing pressure.
In that instant, he was like a butterfly caught in a web of countless mortal entanglements. He struggled with all his might, yet could not break free. This was a law of the Great Dao of heaven and earth.
"Why are you attacking me?"

"My husband's present path is far too centered on himself. Naturally, I must guide you."
"I have done this many times across nine lives, my husband.
