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

Chapter 186 Catching such an 'honest person' like her and wreaking havoc (2 updates)
It turns out they didn't need her help at all. She wasn't the only smart one; this guy was just pretending to get in.

A hint of surprise flashed in the skeleton's eyes. He hadn't expected that he, in his own efforts, would fail. This shouldn't be the case.

The man glanced at Yun Ran, nodded to her, and acknowledged her help earlier.

Yunran felt instantly comforted. Although she hadn't expected anything in return, she was still very happy that this person was grateful.

"Good, good, good! I never expected that young people these days would have such courage!"

The skeleton's words were clearly sarcastic and meant to be aggressive, but they had no effect on Yunran, who already knew about the guy's sonic attacks.

The young man sneered at the skeleton: "You should have expected someone would come looking for revenge!"

Suddenly, the prayer flags started moving without any wind. As they swayed, the incomprehensible scriptures on them seemed to come alive and swirl around them.

Yunran felt her vision blurring and her head gradually becoming dizzy.

This scene, as observed by the ginseng fruit, became a source of confusion.

When did its host become so 'quiet', just obediently waiting for the other party to make a move? Is it trying to observe?

It wasn't until it saw the man's blank stare that the ginseng fruit realized that its host had been tricked!

A sharp, explosive sound immediately followed: [Host, wake up! If you don't wake up soon, you'll be turned into a decoration!!!]

The sound of the ginseng fruit was like someone banging a big drum in her ear. Even if Yun Ran had actually fainted, she would have been jolted awake, let alone if she had only been momentarily dazed.

Looking again, the prayer flags were fluttering, but they were just fluttering; the scriptures on them didn't actually come off.

Now the prayer flags have no effect on her anymore, and she has finally discovered some of the secrets hidden within them.

No wonder the scriptures above looked strange; it turns out they were specially made and are one of the oldest forms of hypnosis.

For those who see it, it's just like watching 3D in a movie theater; the only difference is that you don't need 3D glasses.

Yunran drew her peach wood sword, and before the skeleton could react, the sword light she unleashed shattered the prayer flags.

The prayer flag shattered, and the man, who had been somewhat dazed, was slapped across the face by the little paper figure that flew out to help, which brought him back to his senses.

Seeing the fragments of prayer flags on the ground, he instantly understood why he had been hit by the spell earlier, and also why his companions had died so easily.

With both old and new grudges combined, the young man's gaze towards the skeleton was practically poisoned.

"I'll deal with him. You go and eliminate those evil methods!"

At this moment, the young man clearly regarded Yun Ran as a teammate, and quickly made a judgment and the best decision.

Hearing the man's words, Yun Ran raised an eyebrow. This was the first time someone had assigned her a task, but it was also what she had in mind.

Without exchanging a word, the two tacitly chose the combat mode that suited them best.

Yunran went straight for the bottles and jars, hoping no one would bother her; that would be best.

Of course, even without this young man, with the help of the little paper doll, she could handle these things smoothly.

But having help is always better than going it alone. The young man watched Yun Ran quickly head towards her target, and he didn't stand still either. He pulled a dagger from his shoe and launched a fierce attack on the skeleton man.

I've seen so many stories about Yunran exorcising evil spirits that I've lost interest in them.

Immediately, all eyes were drawn to the young man, whose ruthless moves made Ginseng Fruit's blood boil.

[Host, this guy's moves are all deadly! He must be a legendary assassin! Wow, I've really made it! I've actually met a live assassin!]

Especially with the young man's clean and efficient movements, Ginseng Fruit felt herself becoming a little infatuated.

Yunran completely ignored the ginseng fruit's ghostly cries and began to calmly examine the souls that had been extracted and imprisoned.

Then, her face darkened. No wonder these people didn't incur divine punishment for doing these things.

These souls were all living souls, extracted from people while they were still alive.

If a perfectly healthy person has their soul extracted, their fate will either be to fall into a coma or become mentally impaired.

They actually took advantage of the loophole that if the owner of the living soul didn't die on the spot, it wouldn't count as killing.

Thinking of this, Yun Ran suddenly felt annoyed, feeling that the Heavenly Dao of this world was too rigid.

Her fate was ruined by evil cultivators, and she was abandoned by the Heavenly Dao. As long as she made the slightest mistake, she would be chased and struck by heavenly lightning.

Look at these heretical practitioners; they're either exploiting loopholes or on their way to doing so. They've committed a whole host of bad deeds, yet nothing ever happens to them.

She's been stabbed multiple times already; they're just targeting her, this 'honest person,' to bully her.

These souls have had their memories wiped away, becoming 'clean' sacrifices. Even if they are infused into the works of artisans, they will not harbor any rebellious spirit.

People like Hirano Jiro who can regain their senses are extremely rare.

The place is filled with bottles and jars, some of which are quite old. Even if she wanted to release these souls, they probably wouldn't be able to return to their bodies.

Those who become mentally disabled or even turn into a vegetable will not live long without sufficient patience and care from their families.

And these people die without attracting anyone's attention, no wonder no powerful esoteric master stands up to uphold justice.

Hirano Jiro did discover it, but unfortunately, his skill level was too low, and he ended up getting himself involved.

Yunran took out the ornament that sealed Hirano Jiro and broke the seal.

Hirano Jiro, who had previously been clueless, suddenly let out a ghostly scream upon seeing this place and those bottles and jars.

It's obvious that it remembered something and was provoked, and it's starting to turn evil!
Yun Ran cast a spell, and Hirano Jiro, who was in the process of turning evil, felt as if he had been slapped. The pain from the depths of his soul finally brought him back to his senses.

"Master, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just couldn't control myself when I saw the environment here..."

Yunran told Hirano Jiro her guess, and then added, "No matter what, you did uphold justice, so you should have some merit."

If not, I'll give you some so you can have a peaceful passing away.
