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

Chapter 158 I, your humble servant, grow stronger when faced with a stronger opponent!

As soon as the voice appeared, the Ghost King finally fainted, just as he had hoped.

Those greedy fools who rushed over hoping to get a share of the pie were like moths drawn to a flame; those who couldn't stop themselves all turned to dust.

The dragon spirit's dharma form, suspended in mid-air, was shaken twice by a hand reaching out from the void, like pinching a chick, and then it quieted down.

Just moments ago, they flew in in overwhelming numbers, a dark, dense mass, but now the area is empty, with only that indistinct phantom remaining in the middle.

When Ginseng Fruit saw the patriarch of Qingfeng Temple, he took a swift and decisive action, giving both sides equal lashes and crudely 'mediating' the conflict.

It shrank back even further, not daring to let its presence be noticed by the ancestor, lest it also be slapped twice, to show fairness.

Yun Ran glanced at the ancestor and felt a burning sensation in her eyes. Fortunately, she had revealed her identity in advance; otherwise, this glance would not have been just burning, but would have blinded her.

Yes, he is indeed a disciple of my Qingfeng Temple, and he's still alive!

Yun Ran couldn't discern the ancestor's cultivation level, but that didn't mean the arriving ghost realm leaders didn't know.

They were all so stunned by the phantom that it had reached the level of a ghost immortal that they were unable to move.

Especially when they saw that their ghosts were completely destroyed, while Yun Ran's accomplices were only lightly slapped twice.

This blatant double standard was a naked warning to them, forcing these powerful figures in the ghost realm to lower their heads.

Enjoying the merit offerings from his younger disciples, the patriarch quickly discerned which of the remaining ghosts below was "his own ghost".

But when the patriarch saw Yunran's obvious disheveled and haggard appearance, he became angry. The people of Qingfeng Temple were not to be bullied by just anyone.

With a wave of his hand, apart from the unconscious Ghost King and Xuanmen Ghosts like Nan Qing who had received Yun Ran's kindness, all the other ghosts, including the big shots of the Ghost Realm, were all sent flying.

Ginseng Fruit's eyes immediately turned into little stars. Sure enough, the ancestor is the ancestor. There's no need to reason with him. The strong have absolute authority wherever they go.

The ancestor glanced at the karma on Yun Ran's body, paused slightly, and then a black bell flew out from his left hand and a token flew out from his right.

This place is no place to linger; you should leave immediately!

Yunran accepted the gift from the ancestor and immediately kowtowed in gratitude.

Her gaze then fell upon Nan Qing and his group not far away, but she ultimately did not plead with the ancestor again.

She had already given them a sliver of hope; to force it further would be defying the heavens, and the backlash would be something she couldn't bear.

Although she had previously used her merits to shield Gu Yuan from a near-death experience, she also had to bear an additional price.

If it weren't for being able to invite the Ancestor, she would probably be a member of the Ghost Realm by now.

As the merits burned out, the ancestor's phantom image dissipated, and the token in Yun Ran's hand opened the exit from the Ghost Realm.

Just as she was about to jump out, a fast and urgent mark was directly injected into Yun Ran's body.

Yun Ran's expression changed instantly. This was the Ghost Realm's Ten Thousand Ghosts Pursuit Order, the supreme law of the Ghost Realm, which even an existence like the Ancestor could not stop.

Leaving the Ghost Realm, Yun Ran fell from mid-air directly onto a desolate mountain, where she took a hard fall.

As soon as Yunran appeared, thunderclouds quickly gathered in the sky, and the golden feathers immediately spread out, protecting Yunran under their wings. Heaven was pleased to have locked onto someone worthy of its strike, but before it could unleash its heavenly lightning, the person vanished.

The Heavenly Dao looked around somewhat bewilderedly, clearly not understanding what was going on, and finally could only reluctantly withdraw its heavenly lightning: Sigh, I failed to meet my KPI of striking people again!
Yunran scrambled to her feet, dusted herself off, and looked speechlessly at the dissipating thunderclouds.

I don't know what Heaven is after. It knows it can't strike her, but it always finds an opportunity to strike her.

Why can't we just turn a blind eye and pretend we didn't see her? Why do we have to go through all that procedures?

[Host, what's going on?!]

"What else could it be? I shielded Gu Yuan from a fatal calamity, so I had to bear some of the consequences. I also caused a scene in the Ghost Realm, so I was punished to the fullest extent of the law."

The ancestor must have seen that her fate was as bad as dog shit, yet she dared to take on the responsibility of protecting people from death in the Xuanmen sect, which is why he gave her such a good thing.

At first, she didn't know what the dark bell was for.

Now she knew that any ghost that came to hunt her down would have all its intelligence absorbed by the bell, and would forget that it was chasing her.

The ginseng fruit was terrified, but its host acted like it was no big deal.

It finally dawned on me why the people of Qingfeng Temple were so afraid of Yunran before. Turns out, this guy was a troublemaker who wasn't afraid of death and was always courting disaster.

Look at how many big things this girl has accomplished in this period of time! She has participated in every major event that most people would never encounter in their entire lives!
[Host, has anyone ever told you that you have a strong sense of adventure?]

Hearing the ginseng fruit's euphemistic explanation, Yun Ran rolled her eyes.

"Do you think I, the Little Tyrant of Qingfeng Temple, got my reputation from? I dare to meddle in things that others dare not, and I dare to cause trouble that others dare not."

"I'm more capable than those with bad intentions, and I'm more shameless than those who are more capable than me. I'm the kind of person who gets stronger when faced with stronger opponents, and if all else fails, I'll call for reinforcements!"

The ginseng fruit was stunned for a moment, then felt a pang of regret. Its lack of awareness was dragging its host down.

It's a wonder it comes from a higher-dimensional world; the host's awareness is a hundred years ahead of its own.

After reflecting on it, it immediately decided to follow the host's example: take life and death lightly, and fight if you disagree!

Yunran was unaware that she had already led the ginseng fruit astray.

Looking at the endless barren mountains in front of her, her phone was out of battery, and she was exhausted and hungry. If she had to walk back by herself, she would probably faint.

He immediately released the little paper figure: "Go and tell Xie Xuzhi to send someone to pick me up. I'm injured at work!"

While waiting for others, Yunran trampled down the nearby weeds and found a suitable spot to sit and rest.

Xie Xuzhi's men took over all the resources allocated by the Xie family to the Zhao family as quickly as possible, and at the latest, they will be able to completely replace the Zhao family within three months.

When the patriarch of the Zhao family learned that Zhao Mingzhu had colluded with evil cultivators and offended Young Master Xie, he was so angry that he breathed his last that very day.

On his deathbed, he regretted that he shouldn't have given his granddaughter endless power because of her so-called phoenix-like destiny, which made her so arrogant that she dared to do anything.

Unfortunately, there's no going back now. There are plenty of families that want to become supporters of the Xie family. One moment of greed has destroyed the foundation of the Zhao family.
