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

Chapter 1044 Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! (2nd update)
As if afraid the other party wouldn't believe her, Yun Ran continued, "You've all ended up in this state because of the strange fire."

I was just an observer from beginning to end; I didn't take the opportunity to attack you at all.

If I really wanted you dead, with my skills, I could have easily ambushed and killed you all the way before.
Don't worry, I'm not interested in killing or anything like that. I just want what you have.

As a fellow Xuan Master, I know better than anyone that you have endured countless hardships to get to where you are today.

Are you really going to waste your lives over such an obvious defeat?
Don't tell me that you will lose your lives or be punished for losing this bronze mirror, but I believe you will find a way to clear your name.

"Is it better for you to die here, or return to your original positions and continue enjoying the benefits of being a Mystic Master? Is there even a choice?"

If these words were spoken in any other context, they would definitely be considered the words of a treacherous and petty person.

But at this moment, Yunran swore that what she said was true, and that she was genuinely considering the other person's feelings.

Although, Yunran also had her own little scheme in mind.

At this moment, Xuan Chu truly admired Yun Ran's art of speaking.

This is absolutely true; they sold someone out, and in the end, that person was still willing to count the money for Yunran.

High, it is high!

For some reason, the dragon spirit on the other side of the water curtain mirror felt that this scene looked somewhat familiar.

But Long Ling didn't think much of it, only that this was probably just one of Yun Ran's methods for handling things, and had no other meaning.

A moment after Yun Ran finished speaking, the people opposite her had already gone through several thought processes.

Perhaps they felt that Yun Ran's words made sense, or perhaps they themselves felt that they were clearly no match for her at the moment.

Even if the other side has some kind of scheme or trickery, there's not much they can do.

Finally, the elderly stranger nodded.

"Alright, you can have the divine mirror, but how can you guarantee that after we give you the bronze mirror, we can regain our strength and reclaim our status as Xuan Masters!"

The unfamiliar old man was clearly more worried about their inability to recover their strength.

In this way, Yunran's previous statement that they could still live a prestigious life as Xuan Masters even after handing over the bronze mirror was just empty talk.

Do you have the leverage to negotiate with me?

Yunran would not give the other party a chance to make demands just to prove what she said.

She was willing to say a few more words only to make it easier for the other party to help her shift the blame.

Upon hearing Yun Ran's words, the stranger's eyes flickered.

He had indeed wanted to test the waters to see if the other party would give in in order to make them willingly hand over the divine mirror.

Now that he had the answer, the elderly stranger immediately understood.

"Alright, here you go with the magic mirror!"

"readily!"

The unfamiliar old man threw the bronze mirror with force, and it flew straight at Yun Ran.

Yun Ran easily caught the bronze mirror. As for the strange old man who simply threw the bronze mirror at her, Yun Ran didn't care at all what his intentions were.

She's a very easygoing person; she doesn't think that just because she took something from someone else, she can't allow that person to have any feelings about it.

"Go slowly, don't send me away!"

The old stranger looked somewhat disappointed as he watched Yun Ran catch the bronze mirror.

If Yunran hadn't caught it, the bronze mirror would have broken, or even killed someone.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as he hoped. Fortunately, Yunran caught the bronze mirror and let them leave without any intention of keeping them.

At that moment, the old stranger completely believed that the person opposite him, whose gender he couldn't even tell, truly had no intention of taking their lives.

The unfamiliar old man said directly, "Let's go!"

The few survivors, all bearing injuries of varying degrees, helped each other as they left.

Yunran stood there, watching those people leave.

Even after their figures had disappeared from sight, Yunran did not put away the hammer magic weapon in her hand.

Xuan Chu placed the bronze mirror in his hand on the ground.

He didn't ask Yunran why, but just looked at her and said, "I want to explore this area and find out what's going on here before I go back."

Yun Ran nodded. She still needed to find the remaining ten bronze mirrors, and Xuan Chu also had his own things to do.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Ran handed the hammer-shaped magical artifact in her hand to Xuan Chu.

"I don't know what's strange about this place, but with this magical artifact, any trouble will be suppressed. It just means you'll have to work a little harder."

However, the safety level is at least significantly higher; just think of it as exercising your body.

Xuan Chu took the hammer-shaped magical artifact from Yun Ran's hand.

The magical artifact he acquired was much heavier than he had imagined.

"I thought this magical artifact was light because you carried it so easily. I didn't expect it to be so heavy."

It looks small, but it weighs at least a hundred pounds.

From this perspective, even if Yun Ran is not a member of the Xuanmen sect, her martial arts skills far surpass those of many others.

No wonder Yun Ran dared to use this magic artifact to turn everyone into ordinary people.

Upon hearing this, Yunran immediately felt the urge to show off.

"Of course, you don't even know how many rare and precious materials I used to temper my body before."

If my body weren't made of flesh and blood, I would have wanted to summon heavenly lightning to temper it.

Because she had been to a place like the Desolate Land, Yun Ran paid extra attention to her own strength and combat power.

The concern is that if we encounter this situation again, and the other side has more people, we'll suffer a huge loss.

After she found the magical artifact from the forbidden land, Yunran immediately used this potential predicament on others.

It seems that the results were good; her previous preparations were truly not in vain.

"Alright, you can tinker with this here by yourself. When you're no longer using this magic tool, just wrap it up in this cloth and put it away properly."

Yunran didn't give Xuan Chu any further instructions.

She believed that Xuan Chu had his own plans.

Those who left earlier, once they had walked about a kilometer away, immediately felt the suppressed power return to them.

The group of people who thought they were about to give up immediately showed expressions of surprise.

"The power has finally returned!"

But soon, the surprise on their faces turned into resentment.

They desperately wanted to make the person who had stolen their divine mirror and caused them to lose face suffer a terrible death!
