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

Chapter 1222 The adults have a lot

The feeling was like the refreshing sensation of drinking an ice-cold cola on a hot summer day.

When Long Ling looked in the bronze mirror again, her mindset immediately became incredibly peaceful, even showing a hint of the kindness and tolerance that only an elder would have.

Yun Ran was stunned by Long Ling's sudden change of expression, and at the same time, she felt a little uneasy.

She glanced at Long Ling from head to toe, then moved away with a hint of disgust, as if afraid of getting too close and catching something from him.

Dragon Spirit: ...

No, what did he do? Why is Yunran looking at him with such disdain?
"What's your expression?"

Thinking this way, Long Ling asked the same question; he was not the type to engage in internal strife.

Not to mention, he traveled a long way to find Yunran, and if Yunran were to give him a hard time at this point, he would really turn on her.

While it wouldn't be to the point of a full-blown fight with Yunran, there would definitely be arguments.

Long Ling stood there with her neck stiff, looking like she wouldn't give up until Yun Ran gave her an explanation.

Yunran: ...

Logically speaking, such childish behavior should not occur in a creature that has lived for thousands of years.

However, for a creature like the Dragon Spirit, which is born and raised by nature, even after thousands of years, it is only a short time since it has come of age in the eyes of its kind.

Faced with such a temperamental dragon spirit, Yun Ran was still speechless, but she had no intention of further igniting his temper.

At this moment, he simply said, "It's nothing, I just feel you're a bit embarrassing, so I don't want to get too close to you, lest I catch it!"

Dragon Spirit: ...

He knew that Yun Ran really couldn't say anything nice.

Forget it, he's a magnanimous man and can't be bothered to argue with Yun Ran. Humph!
He's here on important business.

"Oh, right, you said before..."

Before she could finish speaking, Long Ling suddenly stopped talking and looked at the bronze mirror with some wariness in her eyes.

What he wanted to say was a secret, and now that there was this bronze mirror whose contents were unknown, Long Ling was naturally much more cautious.

Long Ling grabbed Yun Ran's arm and pulled her away from the bronze mirror. At the same time, she made a hand seal to prevent being spied on before continuing to speak with peace of mind.

"Your little puppets have told you about everything you discovered before. Are you looking for those people who defected from Moonflower City?"

Their original purpose was simply to find the Heavenly Book.

But now, they know that this world is about to be used as a stepping stone for some people to scheme for their own immortal destiny.

Long Ling was somewhat worried. As a disciple of Qingfeng Temple, Yun Ran might really have to confront those people, and the wasted time would be a minor matter.

What I fear most are those traitors. If they also knew how to control those sea monsters, Yun Ran might lose her life.

Long Ling hurriedly came looking for him. No matter what, having him around meant having one more person to rely on.

In fact, on her way here, Long Ling had planned to scold Yun Ran first.

But at this moment, looking at Yun Ran's calm expression, he couldn't bring himself to say the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Seeing Long Ling's hesitant expression, Yun Ran found it somewhat amusing: "Since you already guessed it, why did you come?"

If they hadn't been aware of the inside story, that would have been one thing, but now that they know who is creating this god and what methods they are using, even jeopardizing the safety of the entire spatial rift world, letting it go unchecked is clearly not the style of the Qingfeng Temple disciples.

Long Ling opened her mouth, but then swallowed her words.

Knowing he couldn't dissuade Yunran, he came to lend her a hand, since he was now practically a member of Qingfeng Temple.

Perhaps feeling that the current topic was a bit heavy, Long Ling changed the subject and started talking about the Heavenly Book.

“Xuan Chu and I learned some things about the Heavenly Book from the Xuan Master Association, but this information contradicts the information you obtained from the murals in Yuehua City.”

I don't know which side's information is true. I think it will probably take a long time to find the Heavenly Book.

The thought that they had spent so much time only to find some superficial information made Long Ling feel somewhat frustrated.

Even when he released his spiritual sense to search for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book, it was to no avail, as if something was blocking its path.

Previously, he was able to sense the Heavenly Book in the Five Emperors Mountain area because he had awakened the bloodline of the Divine Dragon Clan.

Now, after devouring even more guardian dragon spirits, his senses are not as sharp as before.

Yun Ran was not surprised by this.

"The high priest of the temple may be the last person to have seen the Heavenly Book. He can shed his divine status to protect all living beings, so naturally he will not let anyone find the Heavenly Book easily."

No matter how powerful the dragon spirit is, it is still just a creature that has lived for thousands of years. Compared to a quasi-immortal with divine status, it is still not enough.

If he had never seen a real immortal, the Dragon Spirit might not have taken the high priest who had lost his divine status seriously.

But Long Ling had seen Qingyangzi and the others before; a single glance from an immortal could render him immobile.

The gap was like an insurmountable chasm, and Long Ling immediately became obedient.

"So what do we do now? Finding those traitors from Moonflower City won't be easy."

Those people were able to fool certain members of the Mystic Master Association and use the bronze mirror they stole from Moonflower City to collect the resentment of countless ghosts and demons.

It can also conceal information, so even the people of Moonflower City don't know that these bronze mirrors originally belonged to them.

This would have been impossible without someone with immense power covering up the truth for a very long time.

Even now, there are still many, many Xuan Masters who are kept in the dark.

They thought they were ridding the people of evil, but they didn't realize that they had been aiding and abetting the wicked all along.

Even the people on the General Association side firmly believed in the claim of annihilating all demons and evil spirits.

And all of this stemmed from a prophecy: the world would be destroyed by those monsters and evil spirits.

Those who know the full picture and the true details of this prophecy are almost no longer around.

Those traitors were truly cunning; they kept everything that benefited them intact, while completely altering anything that was detrimental to them.

If it weren't for the high priest's scheme, those traitors would have gotten what they wanted long ago.

Thinking of this, Long Ling felt a similar sentiment to Yun Ran's earlier one: that high priest was truly no ordinary person.

Perhaps it is precisely because he understands human nature so well, and knows that time can change many things beyond recognition.

Therefore, the most important plan of that high priest was never about the descendants of those divine servants, but rather about Yun Ran, who spanned several dimensions.
