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

Chapter 259 I knew you could find it!

Upon hearing the noise, Abbot Jiechen looked over, his eyes bloodshot and his expression serious.

When he saw that the person who came was Yun Ran, a hint of warmth instantly appeared in his eyes.

The voice that had been somewhat defensive just moments before now carried a hint of lightness: "I knew you could find me!"

As for Zhongli Su, who was tied behind Yunran, sorry, I didn't see him.

"For someone as good-tempered as you to get angry, this place must be quite troublesome."

The Venerable Jiechen was not embarrassed by being seen in such a state; instead, he burst into laughter, which was related to his carefree personality.

"Indeed, it is quite troublesome. I heard you say in your fortune telling that we would all die because of our own emotions and desires."

Although I believed it, I also felt it was somewhat exaggerated. It wasn't until I experienced it firsthand that I realized everyone has their own obsessions, and being trapped in those obsessions is like spinning a cocoon around oneself.

Hearing what Abbot Jiechen said, Yunran was somewhat surprised, but also relieved.

At least the senior monk could still recognize her, unlike Zhong Lisu, who was completely bewitched.

"What's going on here?"

Upon hearing this, the monk Jiechen's hard-won smile vanished again.

"There is an endless stream of malevolent energy here, which cannot be completely eliminated. It is clear that they intend to exhaust me to death here."

He had tried before, but no matter what, he couldn't leave this place.

The abbot Jiechen's face was full of sorrow. Exorcising evil spirits was just their job, nothing special, but if it was an endless stream of evil spirits, he really couldn't bear it.

Yun Ran smiled. Exorcising evil spirits was something she excelled at; their Qingfeng Temple was a professional in this field, and she was one of the best among them.

"A yin evil spirit, it seems I've come to the right place."

As she spoke, Yunran took out the bead that sealed the female ghost king.

Now the seal is completely useless; the female ghost king can come out whenever she wants.

"Let's go out for a snack. Eat as much as you can, and leave the rest to me!"

The female ghost king poked her head out, looked around at the scene, and felt a chill run down her spine.

However, seeing so much delicious food here, she was really tempted. Maybe she could even advance in rank. If she could reach the Ghost Emperor level, that would be awesome.

Rest assured, Master, I will certainly not let you down.

Jiechen knew that Yunran had captured a ghost king and was keeping it with her. He thought she would find an opportunity to help the ghost king pass on, but he never expected that she could now command the ghost king.
His mouth gaped open, and then he saw a wisp of smoke fly out of the bead in Yun Ran's hand, followed by a ghostly figure entirely green.

The female ghost king looked at everything in front of her with excitement. To others, it was just endless yellow sand and a desolate place.

But in her eyes, this is her 'buffet area'.

It suddenly opened its mouth, which was as big as a washbasin, and inhaled the evil spirits in a whirlwind.

Previously, the scattered Yin energy was not very noticeable, but every now and then a shadow would appear with extremely fast speed.

Now, with the female ghost king's storm-like absorption, all the yin energy has been gathered together, forming a long black river, its destination the female ghost king's mouth.

Abbot Jiechen: ...Although the crisis has been temporarily resolved, there is still deep worry in his eyes.

"Can you control this Ghost King? She's inhaled a lot of Yin energy; what if she breaks free from your control...?"

What Jiechen didn't say was that these people who could cultivate into ghost kings were all incredibly cunning and not trustworthy at all; otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying "a string of ghost stories."

However, he couldn't be too blunt, otherwise, he would embarrass Yun Ran.

"It's not about control, it's just mutually beneficial. However, if she dares to turn against me, I'll have no choice but to wipe her out."

Yun Ran's voice wasn't loud, but the female ghost king, who was frantically eating at a 'buffet' not far away, trembled involuntarily.

Just now, the female ghost king did have a tiny bit of a thought: if she advanced to become the ghost emperor, would she no longer have to be subservient to Yun Ran?

However, as soon as the thought arose, she heard Yunran's veiled warning and immediately gave up on the idea.

So what if he rises to the Ghost Emperor level? The Master has a Ghost Immortal as his backer, and he also has a pass to open the Ghost Realm.

She's tired of living, that's why she's going against the master.

As the number of Yin Sha decreased, some faint green began to appear in what was once a vast expanse of yellow sand and a desolate place.

“I’m starting to suspect that the predicaments you’re in are like a video game where you win and leave, or you lose and live.”

Looking at the tender green in the distance, Abbot Jiechen felt that Yunran's suspicions were correct.

Perhaps because he relaxed a little, his gaze finally fell on Yun Ran's back.

Bound, Zhongli Su was still struggling against Yun Ran's magical artifact, the Immortal Binding Rope. He had expended a lot of strength but still couldn't break free, and his face was now flushed red.

"Where did you find this kid?"

He knew Yun Ran wasn't a particularly good-tempered person, but he wasn't a bad-tempered person either. The fact that he could tie someone up showed that this kid must have done something terrible!
"He's quite something. He became a kidnapper of the bride and was chased by the guests, some of whom were spirits."

However, those spirits must have used the power of this illusion to transform into human form; they were probably some intelligent animals from the vicinity.

Then Yunran thought about the missing tourists and the cattle and sheep. She seriously suspected that they might encounter the cattle and sheep becoming spirits someday.

Looking at Zhongli Su's appearance, Abbot Jiechen knew that he had been deceived by the illusion and probably didn't even know who he was anymore.

No wonder Yunran tied him up. Looking at the knife Yunran was carrying, it was obvious that she had stolen it.

This knife looks cold and sharp, but it exudes a strong killing intent.

If Zhongli Su were to become trapped in the identity of a robber and unable to extricate himself, and become tainted with heavy karma, his path in the Xuanmen sect would be completely ruined.

The Venerable Jiechen had a good relationship with several elders of the Zhongli family, so he naturally treated Zhongli Su as a junior.

At this moment, Yun Ran is saving not only Zhong Lisu, but also his reputation and future.

"If we are able to leave later, I will definitely make sure that Master Zhongli personally delivers you a generous gift!"

Yunran did not refuse. She had worked, so she would naturally not refuse the reward she deserved.

Several consecutive "click-click-click..." sounds.

Yunran followed the sound and saw a female ghost king whose body was covered in green. Suddenly, several cuts appeared on her body.
