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

Chapter 209 Being crushed

Looking closely at the mysterious man's face again, Yun Ran had a strange feeling that his face seemed shrouded in mystery.

It's impossible to see a person's true destiny through their face.

She could only suppress her doubts for the time being and continue on her way.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Ran saw a familiar face, but it looked rather gruesome. If she hadn't just seen the lively Tan Chengbi, she would have thought this was the real Tan Chengbi.

The person hanging there looked exactly like Tan Chengbi. He was clearly a member of the Tan family and should have been a man who could do whatever he wanted, but now he was hanging there in a sorry state.

Now Yunran understands why the Tan family spent so much money to ask the Xie family to bring the Special Administration Bureau to Sakura Country.

This person, who looks like an immortal, has gone so far as to attack members of the Tan family's direct line. It's no wonder that those who are born to enjoy the best resources in the world are not afraid.

"Do you know the person who was hanging?"

Yun Ran nodded. There was no point in hiding it: "Yes, I've seen another person who looks exactly like me."

The man suddenly said out of the blue, "These people are all born guilty."

Fortunately, the immortal-looking man had no intention of killing Yunran. After speaking, he continued to lead Yunran down the path.

As she walked, Yunran finally realized that something was wrong with the place.

It turns out that this huge and empty underground fortress was actually a mysterious altar, and there were countless ancient artifacts around the altar, some of which looked like bronzes.

Judging from the traces on these tools, they must have been hidden here a very long time ago, and were not recently moved from elsewhere.

For some reason, Yun Ran's heart trembled slightly, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

The altar instilled in her a deep-seated fear, as if she were about to face annihilation.

Ginseng Fruit was also somewhat nervous: [Host, the altar here possesses immense power; we're really in for it this time.]

The last time Ginseng Fruit sensed this locked-on threat was when Yunran summoned the Ancestor.

The immortal-like man turned to look at Yun Ran and noticed the fear emanating from her.

He didn't think that Yunran's fear was the same as the fear of the people he had captured before, so it could only be that Yunran recognized the altar.

"You actually recognize this altar?"

As if remembering something, a thoughtful look of reminiscence appeared in the man's eyes.

He murmured softly, "It's really not easy. I thought I was the only one in the world who knew about this altar."

Yunran looked around and shook her head: "No, I don't know anything about this altar, I just feel that it is dangerous."

Meanwhile, the female ghost king hiding beside Yun Ran had already suppressed her aura to the extreme.

Even the water dragon spirit, which had always been at odds with Yunran, was now as quiet as a chicken, as if it didn't exist at all.

The man completely ignored Yunran's looking around.

He walked directly to the center of the altar, where there was a vessel that looked like a water trough. He casually cut his palm, and blood flowed slowly into the depths of the altar along the trough.

Just then, the surrounding artifacts lit up. Although Yunran didn't recognize some of the patterns on them, she could sense the immense power they emitted. Yunran's fear grew stronger, and she quietly took a few steps back.

The man's blood seemed to trigger some mechanism, causing the entire altar to tremble slightly as if it had come to life.

Yunran sensed that the resurrected altar was draining her life force, and although she tried to retreat further, she couldn't move her feet.

Fear took on a tangible form, and Yun Ran calmed down. Someone like her, even when faced with a desperate situation, would never easily surrender.
Even if it means death, she'll still make a scene and deliver a fatal blow to her opponent.

Yun Ran flipped her hand and took out a peach wood sword, her eyes firm and resolute.

Seeing the peach wood sword that Yun Ran took out, a look of surprise flashed across the man's face. He seemed not to have expected that the legendary mustard seed space actually existed.

"It seems you are not an ordinary member of the Xuanmen sect."

Yunran swung the peach wood sword in her hand, sending a beam of light straight toward the altar.

The light from the peach wood sword could even cause some pain to the spirit of the water dragon.

But to the man, the sword light was like a tickle, preventing him from taking a single step back.

As Yun Ran unleashed her sword light, all the paper figures were released at the same time, their bodies faintly emitting wisps of golden light.

Previously, the paper figures were injured by some of the righteous energy of this formation. Yunran gave the paper figures a wisp of golden light of merit to protect their entire bodies.

In this way, the formation here can only cause limited damage to the paper figures.

When she had no other help, the little paper doll was her best helper.

The man narrowed his eyes. He had thought Yun Ran was a well-behaved and sensible person, but he hadn't expected her to be someone full of barbs.

He said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "It seems you still haven't learned what it means to read the situation and act accordingly."
Yunran took it as mere barking and swung her sword again, but this time, she infused the sword light with a trace of merit.

The man hadn't originally intended to dodge the sword light, but when he saw the golden light of merit within it, he slightly moved away.

"I didn't expect you to have merit. This is wonderful. With your merit as a blessing, my chances of success will be even higher."

What he didn't know was that Yunran's attack on him was just a ruse.

The little paper figures seemed to be attacking him, but in reality, they immediately turned around and disappeared when they got close to him.

They were simply trying to save the humans who were hanging in mid-air.

The man's expression was no longer indifferent: "No one has been able to rescue the person I need from here. If you don't want to die, you'd better obey me. Otherwise, you'll be caught in the array and die."

As the man finished speaking, Yunran noticed that there were several majestic statues on the walls surrounding the altar.

They are the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Seeing the statues begin to glow slightly, Yun Ran turned around and tried to escape.

This altar was far more dangerous than she had imagined. After the light flashed, the oppressive aura of the divine beast also pressed down on Yun Ran.

Yun Ran was pressed to the ground by this oppressive force, completely unable to move. She looked rather miserable, but her head did not bow down.

She still looked up at the man, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance befitting a prodigy of the Xuanmen sect: "You want me dead? Not so easy!"
