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

Chapter 1257 It is impolite not to reciprocate.

The other people on the road, although they did not get too close to Yun Ran and their carriage, would occasionally glance over out of the corner of their eyes.

At that moment, the carriage, which had been moving smoothly, suddenly stopped.

All eyes turned to him, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Fortunately, most people are mindful of their status, and even if they are passionate about it, they still don't think about cricket fighting with the people around them.

Ma San followed Yun Ran's gaze and looked over there. The location on the mountainside was perfect for hiding people, and it would be the most suitable place if someone wanted to launch a sneak attack.

Today is the day of the Divine Sword Manor's auction. Under normal circumstances, as long as one does not want to provoke the Divine Sword Manor...

At this time, no one should be lying in ambush here to ambush the guests heading to Shenjian Manor.

"Owner……"

Ma San, having come from the Dark Palace, possessed a strong ability to sense killing intent; however, he was unable to pinpoint the exact source of that killing intent.

As he spoke, Ma San drew a soft sword from his waist and looked coldly toward the mountainside.

At this moment, he was like an arrow about to be shot, just waiting for Yun Ran's order to start a massacre.

"Don't bother looking for them, they'll come out on their own."

Those murderous auras were not weak, and Yun Ran did not think that the people who could ambush her here would be unable to even conceal their own aura.

There is only one possibility: that the murderous aura was deliberately released by those people.

Ma San is now a die-hard fan of Yun Ran, so naturally he does whatever Yun Ran tells him to do.

Not long after Yunran finished speaking, countless birds on the mountainside were suddenly startled and flew away in all directions.

Those who had initially wanted to watch the spectacle from nearby finally realized the danger.

Fortunately, most of the people who received invitations from Shenjian Villa were people of some status.

They either have their own bodyguards, or they've spent a lot of money hiring people to protect them.

"There's an ambush ahead! Quick... come protect me!"

Yunran heard a voice, clearly weak and tinged with panic, shouting from the group of people closest to her.

The dangerous signal caused chaos among the others as well.

As he walked towards Yunran, he kept waving his whip, trying to gallop forward.

Those following Yunran instinctively wanted to retreat, but those whose carriages couldn't be moved jumped off and ran backward.

In short, those people had only one thought at this moment: they had to stay away from Yunran, the source of all this trouble.

The location where Yunran stood quickly became a man-made hollow area.

The people lying in ambush on the mountainside had only Yunran as their target; whether the others fled or hid made no difference to them.

A voice, neither human nor inhuman, came from afar: "Hand over the token, and I'll leave you a whole corpse!"

The sound was clearly a sonic attack, which had little effect on Yun Ran, but it was a precise strike against Ma San and the others.

In an instant, Ma San felt as if his brain was being churned with a knife, and the intense pain caused his vision to go black.

Even those who had run some distance were affected by the sonic attack to some extent.

Yun Ran reached out and grabbed, directly shattering the sonic attack.

Ma San, who had been feeling unbearable pain and wishing he could die immediately, suddenly felt fine again.

A sinister glint flashed in Ma San's eyes as he stared intently at the group emerging from their hiding place on the mountainside.

"Master, can I handle these people in the end?" He had already decided how these people would die; the Dark Palace had plenty of ways to make people wish they were dead.

As for the fact that these people don't look like they're easy to mess with?

Ha, do you really think the people from the Dark Palace are all good-natured? There are plenty of capable people who have died in the Dark Palace!

"Granted!"

Yun Ran wasn't so saintly as to give the person who wanted to kill her a chance to repent.

She took off the jade pendant from her waist, weighed it in her hand, and said, "This is what you want. If you're so capable, then come and take it yourselves."

This was given to her by the Mei family, and it was also a token of their sincerity.

Although the exact origin of this jade pendant is not yet clear, the Mei family said that as long as they have this token, they will definitely be able to successfully open the incomplete scroll of the Heavenly Book.

This should be considered a highly confidential matter. Unexpectedly, before we even arrived at Shenjian Manor, someone came knocking on our door.

Ma San looked at the jade pendant in Yun Ran's hand. He only knew that it was sent by the Mei family, but he didn't know what it was for.

At this moment, they knew that the people on the mountainside had come for the jade pendant.

His first thought was that the Mei family must be unwilling to accept this, so they wanted someone to take the things back.

If it weren't for the fact that it was a time to confront the enemy, Ma San would have given the Mei family a good dressing down.

Yunran's attitude clearly displeased the people on the mountainside.

Those who had been targeted by them in the past had never dared to provoke them like this.

"I originally intended to leave you with a complete corpse, but since you're so ungrateful, I'll just have to let you experience the consequences!"

Countless invisible sword energies and the gale-force winds they generated rushed directly towards Yun Ran's neck.

This attack was so fast and intense that anyone who was even slightly slow to react would be unable to dodge it and would be instantly sliced ​​into several pieces by the sword energy and gale.

Yunran raised her hand and flung out more than a dozen talismans.

The talisman was instantly activated, emitting a dazzling light, and easily deflected the oncoming attacks.

Ma San raised his sword, intending to help defend against the attack, but he ended up blocking nothing.

"It's only polite to retaliate after being attacked first. If I don't fight back, it would make me seem like an easy target!"

As she spoke, Yun Ran tossed out another handful of talismans. These were not defensive talismans, but offensive talismans that she had improved upon.

"boom"

"boom"

"boom"

……

Countless explosions rang out one after another, and the surrounding area was instantly enveloped in dust and smoke.

Not only could we not see what was happening on the mountainside, we couldn't even see what was happening around us.

Those who were some distance away experienced what it means to be near death and to be resurrected in such a short time.

Several timid people even clutched their chests, and after a long while, they finally spoke: "My God, this is too scary! Let's go, let's go, we're not going to the auction!"

They were single-mindedly focused on getting away from this place.

They even abandoned their own carriage and the goods they were carrying, fearing that if they were a step too slow, they would lose their lives.
