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

Chapter 213 Deliberately Playing the Victim?

Yun Ran was certain that if she hadn't destroyed the altar immediately, she would have been put on the Immortal Realm's kill list, just like the Ghost Realm's previous order to hunt her down.

The celestial realm and the ghost realm each have their own rules. If anyone could just open a small door in their territory and come and go as they pleased, where would they put their faces?
Moreover, it would expose the secret of her bloodline. No matter how powerful her backing is, even if the ancestors tried their best to protect her, they couldn't.

(If Yunran knew that her bloodline, which had originally been tainted by evil magic, had become even purer due to the golden light of merit, making her the best sacrifice, she would probably be spitting blood.)
The people on the ground didn't know what had happened. They only knew that there seemed to have been a very serious earthquake, but strangely, this area didn't collapse directly.

The Helian family doesn't know what's going on either; no one has come forward yet, making it impossible for Gu Yuan to grab someone to ask about the situation.

Gu Yuan was extremely anxious on the ground. As time ticked by, he finally couldn't sit still any longer.

Based on Yunran's previous 'business capabilities', it shouldn't have taken that long.

Until he saw the man who had taken Yunran away come out somewhat angrily and then leave the Helian family's territory at a very fast speed, Gu Yuan seemed to be completely stunned.

He glanced at the direction the person had left in, then at the direction of the artificial hill, and without even thinking, he took off running towards the artificial hill.

He kept muttering, "No, no, that girl is very capable, she won't be killed..."

Clearly, they had forgotten how badly they had been injured by that formation before.

He couldn't control what others thought, but he was determined to save Yunran, even if it meant getting himself into trouble.

He had previously complained about the people on TV, saying they all seemed to have lost their minds, knowing they were going to their deaths but still rushing in.

Now, his state has changed from despising those people to understanding them, and now to surpassing them.

When he rushed to the vicinity of the artificial hill, he noticed that the formation seemed to have less of a suppressive effect on him than before.

It wasn't until he entered the artificial hill that he received a message from Yunran, instructing the Special Administration Bureau to clean up the mess.

Gu Yuan: ...

Well, he's making a mountain out of a molehill.

But since he was already there, he naturally couldn't turn back, so he could only walk down the winding stone steps around him.

At this moment, he finally had the mind to look around the place, and then his mouth dropped open.

This massive underground fortress will cost a fortune to repair; even those on the rich list would have to suffer significant damage to it.

As he continued downwards, Gu Yuan's breathing became increasingly rapid.

Below, there was a strong killing intent, along with an immense aura he had never seen before, making him want to kneel down and submit.

Soon, he saw a group of people lying on the ground, each of them covered in blood.

Yun Ran's position was extremely conspicuous; she was lying right in the center, making her easily visible to anyone, and just looking at her was enough to make one feel miserable.

Of course, this is on the premise that we ignore the fact that the little paper figures are busy and hardworking on the side, some applying medicine to Yunran and others fanning her.

This scene gave Gu Yuan an indescribable feeling; it seemed that he had probably arrived a little early.
For some reason, I felt that Yun Ran's behavior of lying on the ground seemed like she was deliberately trying to gain sympathy.

But then he dismissed the absurd idea. Although Yun Ran could be a bit of a jerk at times, she wouldn't be so shameless.

She must be seriously injured and unable to move, otherwise she wouldn't be lying there while the little paper doll applied medicine to her. The little paper doll saw Gu Yuan, and since he was an acquaintance, it didn't need to pay him any attention and immediately buried its head in continuing to apply medicine to Yun Ran.

When Gu Yuan got closer, he saw that Yun Ran was not just in a bad state, she was in a terrible state. Her face looked as if she had been beaten up.

Not to mention, when Yun Ran lifted her clothes, her hands were covered with small, irregularly torn wounds, clearly injuries from the shock.

"Sigh~"

Seeing these wounds made Gu Yuan gasp in shock; Yun Ran's fair arms and thighs were covered in blood.

"How did you get so badly injured!"

"You'd better squat down to talk to me; looking up at people is tiring~"

Yunran's voice, though somewhat weak, was no different from her usual nonchalant attitude.

Gu Yuan calmed down a bit and quickly took out all the medicines he had brought with him.

"These are all top-quality wound medicines..."

Yunran accepted it without hesitation. Although it wasn't as good as her medicine, it was still a high-quality medicine, which she would sell to others later.

Looking at Yun Ran in front of him, Gu Yuan was completely relieved to see that her stingy nature was still the same as before.

He immediately looked up and saw that the walls around the underground fortress were inlaid with special minerals, which made the place exceptionally bright.

However, he couldn't understand why this place, which looked like it had been built with a huge amount of resources, didn't seem very waterproof.

Then he looked at the other people lying on the ground. Judging from the marks on their bodies, they must have been imprisoned for a long time.

At this moment, Gu Yuan belatedly realized that he had given all his medicine to Yun Ran, and that these people should also need to be treated.

But since he had already given away the medicine, he felt embarrassed to ask for it back.

Anyway, these people have been locked up for so long, and they haven't been given any medication for so long, so they should be fine if they can hold on a little longer.

"Why is there still the aura of heavenly lightning here? Did you attract heavenly lightning?"

Seeing the messy pile of stones and debris nearby, along with some strangely shaped artifacts that looked like newly made replicas, Gu Yuan became even more curious.

"By the way, I just saw the man who brought you in leave in a huff, he..."

Yun Ran slightly raised her eyelids before saying, "I already risked my life to save these people. I couldn't possibly keep him alive. If you encounter him again, I suggest you avoid him."

Gu Yuan had witnessed Yun Ran unleash her ultimate move, someone who even dared to intercept heavenly lightning, yet now she uttered such words that diminished his prestige.

"Are you saying that person is dangerous?"

"Otherwise what? Look at me now, I'll be bedridden for at least a month or two when I get back!"

Speaking of this, Yun Ran gritted her teeth. Since she could remember, she had never been defeated so miserably. She thought this was just a fictional world, but she never expected that there would be hidden masters!
