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

Chapter 1052 That's really ruthless (2 updates)
Upon entering the courtyard, Yunran immediately noticed that there was a formation inside.

From the outside, you wouldn't be able to tell what's going on here.

However, once inside, one could easily be killed by this formation if one is not careful.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected there would be such a formation here!"

Unfortunately, this formation had limited effect on Yunran.

Yunran brought two fingers together and swept them across his eyes, instantly activating his Heavenly Eye.

The courtyard that had been so beautiful suddenly turned into a horrifying sight.

A crimson aura spread throughout the courtyard.

The ignore talisman on Yunran's body should, in theory, remain effective as long as she doesn't remove it.

But now, Yun Ran has only been in this courtyard for a short while, and the talisman on her body has become hot.

This is an ignore symbol, a sign that it will soon be exhausted.

Yun Ran immediately raised an eyebrow.

It seems that although this formation has limited effect on her, it can consume items such as talismans and magical artifacts.

In this way, even if someone notices that something is wrong here.

Those who are weaker, once they get in, will probably not have a good ending.

Yun Ran didn't care at all that the talismans on her body were almost exhausted. She reached out and pulled out another handful.

With a flick of his wrist, a handful of talismans surrounded Yun Ran.

Yun Ran formed a hand seal, and the talismans surrounding her were immediately linked together by an invisible aura.

This formed a solid array of talismans.

The array in this courtyard can quickly consume one or two talismans, but it cannot consume an entire talisman array.

After everything was settled, Yunran slowly began to look around.

If she were just a tourist, she would think that this courtyard, which has been built like a garden, is really beautiful.

If I could live here, I would definitely feel comfortable and at ease.

Unfortunately, there is a formation here that can devour life essence. People who live here will gradually become sick and die before long.

"Someone come quick! The young master has vomited blood again!"

Yunran heard exclamations from not far away, and soon a lot of people poured out from different directions.

These people, though seemingly flustered, were actually very well-trained, displaying order amidst the chaos.

Yunran was also curious about the so-called young master, so she followed in the direction of those people.

Even though Yunran was wearing completely different clothes from them, no one felt that Yunran shouldn't be there.

This is the function of the ignore operator.

Yunran soon arrived at a courtyard that looked exceptionally spacious.

A foul, fishy stench wafted from one of the side rooms.

Yunran frowned.

She followed him into the room with light steps, and naturally saw the young master lying on the bed.

The man was so thin that he was just skin and bones, and he was completely unrecognizable.

If it weren't for the rise and fall of his chest, he would look almost like a dried-up corpse.

Beside the bed, there was a man with gray hair.

His face was full of heartache as he looked at the boy lying on the bed, then he turned to look at the Taoist priest in a long robe beside him.

"Master, how is my son?"

Even from his voice, one could tell that the gray-haired man was very anxious, even carrying a hint of suppressed anger. The Taoist priest, however, did not immediately answer the man's question, but instead turned to look in Yun Ran's direction.

Yunran noticed his furrowed brows, as if he had discovered something, but there was nothing there either.

This made Yunran think to herself: It seems that this Taoist priest does have some skills; at least he can sense that something is wrong.

Unfortunately, even if someone notices a slight energy fluctuation in her talisman array, it's impossible for them to find her.

Unless, of course, this Taoist's strength surpasses hers.

The Taoist priest quickly withdrew his gaze and then looked at the man with gray hair.

“Master Wang, I’ve said before that it’s already a miracle that Young Master Wang is still alive. You shouldn’t ask for more.”

The underlying meaning of these words is clearly that the young master of the Wang family should be secretly happy that he can still breathe.

Yunran carefully examined the face of the young master of the Wang family lying on the bed.

Uh……

Well, for those who have escaped danger by losing weight, their facial features are also greatly affected.

Yunran had no way of knowing what this person's original destiny was.

However, she still realized that this young master of the Wang family should have died long ago, and that he was only alive because he was forced to stay.

There was even a hint of resentment about him.

Almost instantly, Yun Ran realized that one of the culprits who had caused the souls of those children to be extracted was this young master of the Wang family.

However, Yun Ran did not immediately make a move to kill the young master of the Wang family in front of her.

On the one hand, if he is killed, the souls of those children may never be recovered.

On the one hand, even if this person deserves to die, Yun Ran has no direct causal relationship with him.

She killed this person, so Yun Ran has to bear all the messy consequences herself.

Therefore, she still needs to go and take a look.

At the very least, we need to find out exactly how this young master of the Wang family extended his life.

Only then can we fully recover the souls of those children.

Otherwise, if those souls are accidentally damaged, even if they are returned, those children will become mentally disabled.

"Taoist Master, I'm willing to pay any price to help my son get better!"

The man with gray hair looked very anxious, and at the same time, a hint of obsession appeared in his eyes.

A person like that is definitely capable of anything.

Just then, a gasp came from outside.

"Master, something terrible has happened..."

The man with graying hair suddenly became serious.

His son had just coughed up blood, and now he couldn't stand hearing anything unlucky.

The other person next to him hadn't said a word; he looked like a butler.

He struck quickly and accurately, slapping the person who cried out in alarm.

There was a "pop" sound.

The person who came to deliver the message seemed to have suffered a severe injury, and was sent flying five or six meters away.

It's just that this room is big enough; otherwise, there wouldn't even be enough room for him to land.

With a thud, the man landed on the ground, and Yun Ran could even hear the sound of his bones breaking.

Yun Ran couldn't help but hiss. She hadn't expected that the butler was actually a martial arts expert; he was really ruthless.
