The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1019: A Link Being Exploited

Some people are so engrossed in their own spiritual practice that they are oblivious to what is happening outside, and therefore have no idea what is actually going on in the world.

They actually managed to activate Qingfeng Temple's protective array, a tactic only used when facing unpredictable trouble.

Do you know what exactly happened?

"I don't know. Could it be that Qingfeng Temple has offended someone it shouldn't have?"

"It can't be that bad. Yun Ran is still very capable, and she came from the Special Administration Bureau, so there's some connection between them now."

"Who knows? But if Qingfeng Temple is really in big trouble, shouldn't we leave to avoid getting involved?"

……

These people are unaware that Junior Uncle has activated a protective array specifically to guard against them, fearing they might cause trouble from within.

Junior Uncle didn't pay any attention to those who came to his door.

It's not that Junior Uncle is arrogant, but rather that his true strength has already reached an unfathomable level.

Even though the junior master here is just a spirit puppet and his strength is not as great as the original, he is still enough to defeat all those who come to his door.

The preparations we are making now are simply to prevent those people from having the opportunity to ruin Yunran's hard work.

The establishment of Qingfeng Temple at that time exhausted Yunran's private treasury.

It also consumed a lot of personal connections and resources.

Let alone every brick and tile here, even the flowers and plants at the foot of the mountain are far more important to Junior Uncle than those people in the Xuanmen sect.

The protective array completely covered the entire Qingfeng Temple, even including the flowers and plants within its protection range.

Junior Uncle then turned and went back.

As for those who were exchanging ideas and learning at Qingfeng Temple, many of them, not wanting to cause any trouble, had already started packing up and preparing to leave.

Although cultivating here can be twice as effective, if you provoke the wrong people, it will be a loss.

However, they never dreamed that a place that seemed to have no obstacles would be like this.

No matter which way they went, they couldn't get out; it was like being trapped in a maze.

If an ordinary person encountered this situation, it might be understandable.

However, they are members of the Xuanmen sect!

Or is it a member of the Xuanmen sect with extraordinary strength who encountered a ghost wall in a place where everything can be seen at a glance?
This is so absurd, who would believe it if I told them?

Then, even more people discovered this.

Clearly, this was not a misunderstanding, but rather something deliberately done by the people of Qingfeng Temple.

"What exactly do the people from Qingfeng Temple want? Are they trying to use us as hostages? That's too despicable!"

"That's not right! We have no vested interests with Qingfeng Temple, so why are they targeting us?"

Those who received the news could no longer pretend they knew nothing.

With a look of utter disgust, he could only recount what they knew.

Perhaps even they themselves know very well that no matter how reasonable the excuse they use, they are simply not in the right to force this matter.

The reason they didn't say anything before was simply to leave behind a last fig leaf.

Now, the people from Qingfeng Temple are taking their anger out on them and are unwilling to let them go.

However, they were completely innocent. This whole affair had nothing to do with them from beginning to end, and they weren't the ones who started it.

Those who were unaware of the situation were all dumbfounded upon hearing this. Even if some of them felt that something was wrong, it was clear that most of the people in the Xuanmen sect wanted to snatch the opportunity from Yun Ran.

People are more powerful than forms.

If they were to stand up and criticize those people at this time, they would undoubtedly be putting themselves in a very difficult position.

Yun Ran might still have some confidence to resist, but they have absolutely no chance of winning.

Although they had their own opinions about this matter, no one stood up to say a fair word.

At most, they would simply stay out of it and protect themselves; that would already be considered as them standing on Yunran's side.

It's like this: if your friend takes a neutral position between you and your enemy, that's betrayal.

If your enemy is neutral between you and your opponent, it means that your enemy is actually biased towards you.

That's the logic!
At this moment, Yun Ran had no idea that she had merely glimpsed that someone had deduced the current situation a thousand years ago, and that she herself was just a pawn in the game.

Fearing he would be tricked and killed, he summoned the ancestor to descend.

As a result, it caused so much commotion.

The little paper figures and ginseng fruit could no longer sit still as the golden light of merit burned wildly on Yun Ran's body.

They rushed over immediately to protect Yunran.

At this moment, if anyone disturbs Yunran, even serious injuries will be the least severe.

The temple staff working in the courtyard saw that the small courtyard where they were staying was emitting such a powerful golden light of merit.

They were all dumbfounded.

Due to the limitations of tradition and resources, they only studied the formations left to them by the high priest.

However, this does not mean that they lack knowledge or experience.

"This...this is too exaggerated! How can there be such a powerful golden light of merit? If this were on someone else, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them an immortal!"

Even the tree spirit, which had been feigning death for the past two days, lost its usual caution upon sensing such a magnificent golden light of merit.

It wished it didn't have to be rooted here at all, but had its own body.

In that case, it can rush straight over and get a bit of the golden light of merit.

The tree spirit had been pretending that it had never become a spirit, but that was just for self-preservation.

It's just afraid that someone will notice its aura.

However, if it could catch a glimpse of the golden light of merit, it might as well try to transform into human form. In that case, it could perfectly avoid being discovered.

In the entire courtyard, the only one who remained calm was probably Erdan.

In the past, Yunran had also given it some of the Merit Golden Light to eat.

However, it prefers to devour the self-aware Yin energy of today rather than the golden light of merit.

Erdan remained unaffected and continued to absorb the Yin energy extracted from the body of the Divine Cauldron Spirit.

The egg, which had already grown a bit, has grown even larger, now almost the size of a basketball.

The spirit of the divine cauldron looked at Erdan with great curiosity, seeing that he was completely unaffected.

[That's golden light of merit! Aren't you even a little tempted? If you absorbed that golden light of merit, maybe you could break free from your shell!]

Erdan didn't know how the divine cauldron knew his identity.

However, it didn't treat this divine cauldron with much kindness.
