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

Chapter 228 Being a Hands-Off Manager (2 Updates)
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he quickly dismissed it; it must be an illusion.

The secret technique he obtained back then allowed him to transfer all his karmic debts and misfortunes onto others.

No matter how many bad things he does, retribution will not fall on him.

However, he never expected that he would fall for Yun Ran twice.

Last time, Yun Ran broke his deadly curse (Chapter 9, the copper coin inside the doll), causing the death of his eldest disciple.

This time, he planned to teach Yunran a lesson. Over the years, he had sold harmful spells, but he had only stumbled with Yunran.

This affected his reputation to some extent, but now that his cultivation has reached a higher level, he naturally wants to get back at him.

What's infuriating is that this time, even his carefully crafted blood gu failed, and he also dragged his second apprentice down with him.

"I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, but you've come looking for trouble. Don't blame me for being impolite!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged Taoist picked up his magic weapon and launched an attack on Yun Ran.

The young Taoist priest was so frightened by this scene that he squatted at the foot of the wall, trembling with fear.

He remembered the last time, there was a white-bearded Xuan Master who was instantly killed by his master's move and died a terrible death.

The master killed that person, and all the karma fell on the second senior brother.

The second senior brother was left bedridden for half a year, incontinent, and it was he who took care of him, otherwise the second senior brother would have been tortured to death.

Now that Master is going to kill someone again, the consequences will definitely fall on him.

His cultivation level is negligible, and he probably can't withstand such karma. Will he die here on the spot?
Yun Ran was completely unaware of the danger. This person's skills were even inferior to Shen Zhe's, so there was no need for her to take action herself.

The little paper figures immediately flew out, and without Yunran's command, they knew what they were supposed to do.

Two of the paper figures rushed over to fight the middle-aged Taoist priest, while the remaining paper figures scattered to find Qu Ying.

Yunran sat by the stone table, acting as a hands-off manager.

The middle-aged Taoist priest watched in disbelief as two lifelike paper figures rushed toward him.

He knew that Yun Ran might have some tricks up her sleeve, but he never expected that Yun Ran would also have the ability to control the little paper figures.

Not to mention, these little paper figures look quite unusual.

"You old thief, take this!"

The little paper figures' cutesy voices, when spoken, were surprisingly powerful, making them look like spirited warriors.

"Hey, ha, take this punch!"

The two paper figures worked together perfectly and quickly forced the middle-aged Taoist priest into a retreat.

The magical artifact in the middle-aged Taoist's hand might be a good weapon for others, but for the little paper figure that had been tempered by heavenly lightning...

His magical artifacts were so fragile that they could not withstand a single blow.

When the little paper figure's round hand collided with the middle-aged Taoist's magic weapon again, with a "crack," the magic weapon suddenly split open from the middle.

Another paper figure quickly filled in, kicking the artifact, which had just been cracked, shattered into pieces and scattered all over the ground.

"Pfft~"

With his magical artifact destroyed, the middle-aged Taoist priest coughed up blood, his eyes filled with disbelief. In the decades since he began his apprenticeship, he had never suffered such a crushing defeat.

What embarrassed him even more was that he couldn't even defeat two paper figures controlled by someone. Then, a look of horror appeared in his eyes. Just how powerful was Yun Ran, who was controlling the paper figures?

At this moment, he truly regretted it immensely; why had he provoked such a powerful figure?

In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged Taoist priest took off a jade pendant from his body and smashed it on the ground.

He can't die here; he has to escape quickly. This jade pendant is one of his means of survival.

As the jade pendant shattered, a chilling aura suddenly rose in the once sunny courtyard.

The female ghost king had been eager to try, especially after seeing the little paper doll completely defeat the evil ghost's master; she was visibly excited.

"Go and deal with that evil spirit!"

As soon as Yun Ran finished speaking, the female ghost king disappeared in a flash, like a 100-meter sprinter.

The howl of a demon, capable of piercing one's soul, had barely begun when it abruptly ceased, and the female ghost king let out a satisfied burp.

The chilling atmosphere that had just risen in the courtyard vanished completely in an instant.

The middle-aged Taoist priest could see the female ghost king, and at this moment his gaze was completely fixed.

The impact was clearly too great for him to react in time.

He was such a huge evil spirit, yet he was swallowed whole by the female ghost king in one gulp.

The other paper figures who went to find Qu Ying also returned, and two of them carried Qu Ying out.

Before they even got close, Yun Ran could smell a foul odor emanating from Qu Ying, and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Get away from here, you're polluting the air!"

The little paper doll immediately flew a little further away, strictly following Yunran's orders, without feeling at all that its master disliked its own mother for smelling bad.

Yunran's phone rang at that moment.

Seeing that it was Shen Zhe calling, Yun Ran answered slowly: "My colleagues in the suburbs aren't very helpful. I've already finished, and they still haven't arrived!"

Most of the clerks at the Special Administration Bureau have side jobs to cover their identities, with food delivery and courier services being the most common, allowing them to move around freely without arousing suspicion.

Yunran had informed Shen Zhe beforehand and asked him to send someone to assist her, since she was someone who disliked trouble.

The news that the wife of the Yun family in Haicheng had been kidnapped was not a big deal, but it wasn't a small one either. She certainly didn't want to become the focus of other people's gossip.

With the Special Administration Bureau's personnel joining, the subsequent matters can be completely handed over to them to handle.

"We were stuck in a maze, but we just broke through it!"

Speaking of this, Shen Zhe felt somewhat aggrieved. Although this area was not his territory, it was not unfamiliar territory either.

But they were blocked by a ghost wall at the intersection without realizing it, and it took them quite a while to realize it.

Yun Ran recalled discovering the dragon spirit not far away earlier, and immediately realized that it must have been that bastard's doing.

The middle-aged Taoist was stunned by an indescribable sense of defeat, and now he saw Yun Ran making a phone call as if no one else was around.

His anger surged even higher, and he grabbed his little apprentice who was squatting on the ground and slammed him hard at Yun Ran.

Yun Ran had no idea how terrified the young Taoist priest was; her gaze was fixed on the middle-aged Taoist priest.

Seeing him suddenly dart away towards the backyard, she finally made her move.

He formed a hand seal with one hand and softly uttered a single word: "Stay still!"
