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

Chapter 1045 "What a piece of trash!"

“Venerable One, we have never suffered such injustice before. If we let this go, it will definitely affect our resolve to follow the Dao!”

Clearly, now that they had regained their strength, they felt they were ready to fight back.

The elderly stranger also felt uneasy, but he wasn't filled with righteous indignation.

Anyone who can produce a magical artifact that can affect their cultivation level is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Therefore, he did not immediately agree to his subordinates' requests, but instead fell into deep thought.

The others were puzzled as to why the Venerable One was so wary of those two people.

As they waited, growing somewhat impatiently...

Someone paced back and forth, and then, without realizing it, wandered too far and ended up within a kilometer's radius.

"Uh!"

A muffled groan rang out, immediately attracting the attention of the others.

Several pairs of eyes turned to the man who had made the sound.

What's wrong with you?

Seeing their companion so weak and lying on the ground in such a sorry state, everyone present was stunned.

Then, one of them stepped forward to help his companion up.

Then, the other person also collapsed to the ground as if suddenly exhausted, letting out the same muffled groan.

If they still can't see that something's wrong now, then they're really no different from useless trash.

The two people who were lying on the ground quickly reacted and returned.

His gaze was clearly one of astonishment mixed with a hint of fear.

"Don't...don't come any closer..."

Hearing their companion's voice sound so weak, the others felt a sudden surge of fear.

They had probably never encountered such a situation before, which deeply shocked them.

The only one who remained calm was the old man known as the Venerable One.

The old man thought for a moment, then took out a magical artifact from his hand.

After the magical artifact was activated, it flew directly from the old man's hand and flew towards the two people who had fallen to the ground.

The imposing magical artifact suddenly seemed to malfunction when it approached the two people.

It landed on the ground with a clang.

Everyone:...

The others also took out their magical artifacts and flew in different directions a few times.

They quickly came to the conclusion that it was normal for the magical artifact to fly in other directions.

It suddenly malfunctions only when flying towards the central area of ​​the valley.

It was as if I had touched some force that I shouldn't have touched.

This turned a perfectly good ritual object into a piece of useless junk.

"Your Excellency..."

After exchanging bewildered glances, everyone turned their attention to the unfamiliar old man.

"The magical artifact in the black-robed man's hand could not only suppress our cultivation, but also render our magical artifacts useless."

It now seems that the magical artifact in that person's hand can only affect people or artifacts within a certain range!

This conclusion immediately gave everyone present a sense of defeat.

If the black-robed man had kept his magical artifact, it would have been virtually impossible for them to get close enough to teach him a lesson.

This makes it exceptionally difficult for them, who have always held the upper hand, to seek justice for themselves.

"Venerable One, what should we do now?" The unfamiliar old man glanced at the people around him.

He realized once again that these subordinates, whom he had once been satisfied with, were truly useless.

Not only are they less capable, they're also less intelligent.

Whenever something happens, they just ask him, this guy who's half-buried in the ground, as if they have no ability to think for themselves.

"What else can we do but go back!"

Could it be that they're lying in wait for that man in black?

Even if the stakeout is successful, how can we ensure that they won't be affected and lose their powers?

The elderly stranger looked at the two people still lying on the ground and found them increasingly irritating.

His tone immediately turned disgusted: "What are you still lying on the ground for? Are you waiting for me to carry you away?"

Unable to muster any strength and forced to passively endure the physical pain, the two exchanged an awkward glance.

Previously, their strength had not recovered, but an unpredictable sword of death hung over their heads.

Their potential has been greatly unleashed, which is why they have been able to support each other and come so far.

But just now, their power returned; the potential that had been unleashed while they were shrouded in death had long since dissipated.

Now, they only feel that the pain in their bodies and the weakness after losing their sense of power seem to have been magnified many times over.

To the point that now, they feel they really can't even stand up anymore.

"What a waste!"

The others could see that the Venerable One was truly angry and disgusted with them.

Where can one still stand in the same place?

He quickly picked up the magical artifacts that had fallen to the ground.

They also used tree branches to drag the two people lying on the ground out.

Finally, the group of people slunk away.

Yunran stood behind a rock and watched the whole thing before slowly stepping out.

The little paper figure lay listlessly on Yunran's shoulder.

"Master, those people are truly ungrateful. You spared them, yet they dared to turn against you after regaining their power!"

The little paper figure had a somewhat childish voice, and although it was saying angry things, it had no intimidating power because of its weak voice.

"It would be strange if they didn't really want to kill me at all."

Those who have benefited greatly because of their status as Xuan Masters will not easily learn their lesson once they suffer a loss.

They'll just think they were unlucky and got tricked. They'll believe that if they were given a second chance, they wouldn't lose.

Originally, having this kind of indomitable spirit was a good thing.

Unfortunately, they were really unlucky to have met her, so it can only be considered that they were unlucky.

You can only learn from one mistake, then another, and eventually, you'll have learned from countless mistakes.

After Yunran stepped out of the range of the hammer-shaped magical artifact.

The power that belonged to Yunran has all returned.

Although Yunran's body had been tempered to a great extent, she did not feel any discomfort even when her power was suppressed.

However, once the strength returns, the feeling of lightness is different from that of relying solely on physical strength.

The little paper figure immediately went from looking listless to being full of energy.

"Master, I've recovered!"

Even from the tone of his voice, Yunran could sense that the little paper doll was in an exceptionally cheerful mood.
