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

Chapter 1240 There is a trace of divine aura
The nine-headed beast glanced at the people kneeling upright downstairs, and when it looked at Yun Ran, its attitude became much more respectful.

A person who is so cruel to their own kind, how could they possibly be kind to a ferocious beast like it?
"How's the investigation going?"

Yunran remained seated in meditation, her eyes still closed, when an unexpected voice rang out.

The nine-headed beast touched its heart. Well, it wasn't startled. It seemed it had gotten used to Yun Ran's unpredictable behavior.

"I've found some clues. I've used many methods and can preliminarily determine that this dream world is formed based on reality."

As for the owner of this obsession, I have tried to communicate with the spirits of heaven and earth, but I have not yet been able to find out who he is, however…

The nine-headed beast suddenly stopped, and Yun Ran's closed eyes snapped open.

Naturally, they could also clearly see the obvious uncertainty in the eyes of the nine-headed beast.

"But what?"

The nine-headed beast actually suspected it had made a mistake, after all, it had lived for so long and had never seen anything like this before.

But it tried several times and got the same result. After eliminating all interference, the least likely answer was the only answer.

"I seem to sense a trace of divine aura in this dreamlike realm, but that's highly unlikely..."

The nine-headed beast was unaware of the circumstances surrounding Yun Ran's involvement with the bronze mirror; it only shared what it had perceived with Yun Ran.

While it was still completely bewildered and even somewhat doubtful about its own existence, Yunran's expression faltered slightly.

Suddenly, she remembered asking the bronze mirror if it knew anything about the high priest.

As a result, the bronze mirror brought her to this place.

Therefore, the master of this dreamlike realm is actually that mysterious high priest!
A chilling feeling instantly swept over Yunran's entire back.

The ability to support such a vast and incredibly realistic illusion is merely the high priest's obsession.

Yunran dared not even imagine just how powerful that high priest was.

The nine-headed beast appeared defeated, but in reality, several pairs of eyes were fixed on Yun Ran.

It was as if Yunran was afraid that Yunran would reseal it because it hadn't brought back any definite news.

But its worries are unnecessary.

Yun Ran simply waved her hand: "This is none of your business. You can go out for some fresh air. But you should know what you should and shouldn't do!"

When the nine-headed beast heard that it could go out for some fresh air, a startling light flashed in its eyes.

Even if you can't do anything, just going out for a stroll, looking at the mountains and rivers, the birds singing and the flowers blooming, is a happy thing.

"Young Master, rest assured, I know the rules. Just call me if you need me, and I'll be right back."

Perhaps it's because it's been sealed away for so long, but the nine-headed beast has actually learned some human manners.

Before leaving, they still knew to say some nice, polite things.

Go ahead~

The nine-headed beast scurried away, and Yun Ran stopped meditating and stood up.

The sky outside had completely darkened. Pushing open the wooden door, I found that there was no one outside the stilted house.

As soon as Yunran came out, the person in charge of patrolling immediately emerged from the shadows, hunching over and bowing low.

It seems the people here are truly afraid of her, this imposter divine messenger.

"What about the people I brought back before?"

In the past, prisoners of war, once brought back, were either tortured to extract their value or used as sacrifices.

The only group that Yunran brought back, on Yunran's orders, were all being well-fed and cared for while being kept in the dungeon. "My lord, they are all being kept safe and sound. I will have them brought out immediately."

"No need, I'll go and take a look myself!"

The inspectors dared not utter a word of objection and quickly nodded, leading the way for Yunran.

The dungeon was much better than Yunran had imagined; at least it was clean and well-ventilated.

What Yunran didn't know was that these dungeons were rarely used, so of course they were clean.

The torches on the wall crackled occasionally, adding a bit of noise to the environment.

"My Lord, we have arrived."

Immediately, someone brought Yunran a chair and a brazier, quickly dispelling the chill of the dungeon.

The prisoners, bound tightly, were roughly dragged several to Yunran's front.

The inspector, without a second thought, took a whip from a wall not far away.

They were just waiting for Yun Ran, the divine envoy, to give the order so they could severely beat the prisoners.

They had already questioned these people beforehand. How dare they ambush the Divine Envoy on the way? It's like an old man hanging himself, courting death!
"Untie the ropes binding them."

The inspector had originally hoped to show off his whip-wielding skills.

But when he heard those words, he was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had misheard.

Divine Envoy, you actually intend to let these people go?

"What? My words no longer carry any weight?"

Yun Ran's tone was very calm, but to others it sounded completely different.

It was like a knife hanging directly over their necks.

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away."

Several men hurriedly and somewhat frantically untied the ropes binding the prisoners on the ground.

After the ropes were untied, they remained standing in place, clearly afraid that the prisoners wouldn't understand the situation.

They thought that once the ropes were untied, they would have a chance to use dirty tricks on the divine messenger.

Of course, what they were most worried about was that these prisoners were ignorant and if they angered the divine messenger, they would also suffer.

Therefore, as long as the divine messenger does not order them to leave, they will definitely stay here.

The prisoners were untied, but they felt no relief; their eyes were filled with deep wariness and hatred.

After the gags were removed from their mouths, one of them immediately started cursing at Yun Ran.

"Kill us or torture us as you please, but don't expect to get any secrets out of us!"

One person started cursing, and the others immediately joined in.

"You scum of the Dark Palace, you will get your retribution one day!"

……

Yunran thought these people wouldn't say anything meaningful, but all they said were these useless harsh words.

Seeing the divine messenger being so offended, a ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of those subordinates.

If the divine messenger hadn't yet spoken, they would have already ripped out these people's tongues!
