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

Chapter 1106 If it doesn't work, let me do it! (2nd update)
Xuan Chu hadn't expected that only a few days had passed since Yun Ran had asked them to spread the secret.

Who could have imagined that so many things would happen in the meantime?

It was Yunran who was affected; anyone else would have died several rounds ago.

"I'm not quite sure if the Heavenly Dao restriction on me will cause any unforeseen circumstances. To be on the safe side, I won't go in; I'll wait outside to meet you."

Long Ling thought for a moment and nodded.

Anyway, inside Lotus City, there's Yunran's talisman array. As long as no one else causes trouble, they can eventually dissipate those vengeful spirits by burning them away.

Not to mention, this is a matter that doesn't warrant the involvement of all three of them at the same time.

"Alright, when the time comes, I'll say that our sect's rule is that when two people travel together, they cannot act at the same time; one of them must stay behind as an excuse."

After the two discussed it, Long Ling deactivated the anti-peeping formation.

Originally, this was just a cautious approach, but unexpectedly, the two had just turned around and were preparing to go back.

They met a pair of intense eyes that had clearly been staring at them for a long time.

Long Ling's expression immediately turned sour.

The person was caught red-handed. Although a little embarrassed, he still managed a thick-skinned smile, as if it were just a coincidence.

"I just can't stand these people anymore!"

Xuan Chu listened to Long Ling's quiet complaints and felt the same way.

In the past, when they traveled, they would sometimes be watched by people from other sects.

However, they wouldn't be constantly watching them, trying to learn something from them.

The people in this spatial rift world seem to have no knowledge or understanding whatsoever.

There was no one else at the city gate. The Xuan Master from Fuhu City stepped forward to check the commotion at the city gate.

He turned to the person beside him and said, "There is a cold aura attached to this. It cannot be opened by normal means."

Even if all of us worked together, we couldn't push the city gate open; we'd have to use special methods!

Upon hearing this, the others all looked rather displeased.

Clearly, they hadn't expected the situation in Lotus City to be so far beyond their expectations.

"What should we do now?"

"What else can we do but try to get in? The vice president and the others are still inside."

Moreover, there are quite a few people here; if something happens to them, we'll definitely be held accountable!

"We, Fuhu City, are really unlucky. We're so close to Lotus City, yet these things have fallen on our shoulders!"

……

Those who complained were mostly older people, while the younger people standing at the back were all very quiet.

It's not that they don't want to express their opinions; it's just that they know very well that they have no say in the matter.

Long Ling didn't intend to speak either; after all, he had no grand ambitions to save the world.

But their silence doesn't mean that someone won't come looking for them.

"Mr. Long, Mr. Xuan, do you two have any good ideas?"

When confronted, Long Ling felt an overwhelming rage and really didn't want to deal with it.

With a sour face and an icy tone, he said, "What else can we do? We can just use our Xuan power to create a barrier and go in!"

Why ask him about something so trivial! Long Ling really wanted to ask these people if they were sure they weren't here to deliver vegetables.

If Yunran hadn't made preparations early on and suppressed the vengeful spirits inside...

Given the speed at which these people arrived, and their current attitude of wanting others to take responsibility and make decisions, it's too late!

Perhaps it was because Long Ling's attitude was too straightforward, or perhaps it was because Long Ling's explanation was too simplistic.

Those who heard these words stared blankly, as if they had gone mad.

Long Ling didn't want to stay here in the sun like an idiot any longer, so she said directly, "Are you guys okay? If not, let me do it!"

Everyone:...

They now understood why others had said that Mr. Long was a bit too straightforward.

This isn't being straightforward; it's clearly showing a complete lack of social skills and common sense. It's blatantly calling them stupid!

But at this moment, it seems inappropriate for them to refute or even teach the dragon spirit a lesson.

Immediately, some people with ulterior motives stepped aside, their tone seemingly sincere but concealing deep malice.

“Alright, then let Mr. Long be the vanguard. Maybe those demons will surrender on their own when they see Mr. Long.”

Long Ling rolled her eyes at the man.

A subtle killing intent settled on that person, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze.

Xuan Chu's gaze swept over everyone present, clearly seeing all the emotions on their faces.

In the end, he simply remained calmly seated on the edge of the carriage.

Even Xuan Chu himself has to be careful when he speaks, for fear of offending Long Ling, that petty guy.

These fools offended the Dragon Spirit at this critical juncture; ha, they've really brought trouble upon themselves.

Long Ling pushed past the people in front of her, not taking them seriously at all.

Since his previous persona was that of a shrewd and arrogant person, he naturally did whatever he wanted!

"Those whose cultivation is insufficient, step aside, be careful not to be affected by the residual force!"

That was truly a blunt statement.

But among the people present, not a single one dared to step forward and tell Long Ling to get out of the way; they had come on their own.

That's the confidence that comes with being a master!

Long Ling clasped his hands together, gathered his strength, and then struck the city gate with a palm.

A dark, narrow opening, big enough for one person to pass through, appeared.

A faint white light emanated from the edge of the cave entrance, along with a wisp of yin energy leaking out.

Upon seeing this, the others immediately felt uneasy. Was this really the interior of Lotus City, or the entrance to the Ghost Realm?
Long Ling ignored these people and walked straight in.

Xuan Chu spoke up at the right moment: "Don't worry, everyone. My junior brother has already gone in. Do you think I would trick you all into going in and killing you?"
I will stay outside to protect you all and watch over this entrance to ensure you can exit safely later.

Xuan Chu found himself a legitimate opportunity to stay outside.

When the others heard this, they felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't quite put their finger on why.

Long Ling has been inside for quite some time now; it would be rather awkward if the others didn't go in either.

Finally, the people of Fuhu City also left some people outside, under the same pretext of receiving them.

Long Ling already knew about the situation inside Lotus City, and seeing the gray and gloomy place, she couldn't help but let out a surprised "Eh?"
