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

Chapter 314 Are you trying to kill me?! (2nd update)
Yun Ran had no idea that she could get a batch of funding simply by playing the victim.

His eyes immediately crinkled with laughter, and then he pressed down on the ginseng fruit's head, bowing deeply to Xie Xuzhi at a ninety-degree angle.

"Thank you for your generosity, Director Xie!"

Not to be outdone, Ginseng Fruit said in a slightly childish voice, "Thank you/Director Xie for saving me and my master."

Yunran: ...

Actually, there's no need to exaggerate like that; they've even mentioned providing relief.

Xie Xuzhi was also speechless. After pausing for several seconds, he managed to say, "As expected of the person your master chose, she has some of her charm."

Yunran pretended not to understand the hidden meaning in Xie Xuzhi's words. Since Ginseng Fruit wasn't a real child, she immediately lowered her head and continued peeling walnuts.

The host had warned him before that Xie Xuzhi was a meticulous person and that he shouldn't let him see through anything.

It wouldn't do to just stand there like a block of wood, so I had to find something to do. Peeling walnuts for the host was the perfect solution.

Those inside the formation are truly suffering at this moment.

They thought these guardian beasts could be trapped, and even if they were powerful, they wouldn't be too difficult to deal with.

At this moment, they really wanted to slap themselves for their previous carelessness. This wasn't just impressive; it was beyond their imagination.

This is still before they have fully broken through the soil. If they all come out, the people here will be dreaming if they want to emerge unscathed.

At first, Elder Gong and his group were somewhat reserved, but now, as he looked at Xie Xuzhi's people, his tone was somewhat anxious.

"Before they break through the soil, we must suppress half of their power. Everyone, unleash your ultimate moves!"

Those who are valued by Xie Xuzhi and given the opportunity to gain experience here must be truly capable.

With the Special Administration Bureau's ironclad rules in front and Xie Xuzhi watching from outside the light shield, they naturally didn't need to worry about being ambushed.

The leader wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and nodded: "Okay!"

Everyone revealed their special skills.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With several loud bangs, the small hill was flattened by the group's attack.

A massive stone carving of Xuanwu, the size of a five-ton truck, was overturned onto the ground.

The Special Administration Bureau personnel were also blasted away by the powerful force, crashing heavily to the ground and coughing up blood.

The brightness of the array's protective barrier suddenly dimmed considerably, and it began to shake more violently, but fortunately, there were no signs of cracking.

Yun Ran, who was standing outside, turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood after the light barrier was affected by the powerful impact.

Yunran wiped the blood with her sleeve, then took out a bottle of blood-nourishing and qi-tonifying pills and swallowed the whole bottle. She also drank two sips of the spiritual liquid given to her by the monk Jiechen.

This finally suppressed the burning pain in my chest.

Then, his eyes turned to the person inside the array's protective barrier, as if he were carrying a knife.

He immediately started cursing: "Are you crazy? Do you really think this light barrier is indestructible? Trying to blow me up like this?!"

Renshenguo looked at Yunran, who was also injured, and his face was full of worry.

"Master, are you alright?"

Yun Ran clutched her chest, her tone still harsh: "I won't die, but it hurts like hell."

This was the first time Xie Xuzhi had seen Yun Ran injured up close. He wondered if it was because he was familiar with Yun Ran and they had developed a relationship.

Seeing Yun Ran's somewhat disheveled appearance, he felt a slight sense of panic, as if Yun Ran would die in front of him at any moment. Xie Xuzhi, who knew from a young age that he wouldn't live long, had always taken life and death lightly.

But at this moment, his hands trembled slightly. So, he was also so afraid of death?
However, he hadn't had time to think about Yunran yet.

Suddenly, someone approached from outside the light shield.

Those protecting Xie Xuzhi immediately lined up. Yun Ran was injured, Director Xie was essentially fragile, plus a useless guy who only knew how to fight and a little kid.

Their pressure suddenly increased dramatically.

Wan Ji wasn't as perceptive as the people from the Special Administration Bureau, but he could sense the killing intent. He quickly drew his gun and aimed it in the direction from which the killing intent was coming.

Yun Ran also looked into the distance, but she couldn't see how many people were on the other side. She could only sense that a dense mass of Yin energy was coming from this direction.

The people from the Special Administration Bureau also sensed it, and their expressions immediately turned sour.

This area is a cemetery, and even though it's a geomantically auspicious place, it has accumulated a lot of yin energy over the years.

Not to mention, those tomb-guarding beasts are all creatures nurtured with yin energy.

These malevolent energies are a great tonic for the tomb-suppressing beasts, and also serve as their "power banks".

Elder Gong and his men expended a great deal of effort, risking heavy losses themselves to temporarily suppress the Tomb-Suppressing Beast.

"We absolutely cannot let the Tomb Guardian Beast come into contact with this Yin energy, otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain!"

The person protecting Xie Xuzhi looked into the distance with a serious expression, never before feeling so uncertain.

Yun Ran waved her hand, and more than a dozen small paper figures flew out. Mo Zhi also stood in front of Yun Ran.

"Go and devour all this malevolent energy!"

At Yunran's command, the little paper figure and Mo Zhi rushed out like wild horses.

The overwhelming Yin energy, which had initially swept over the area, seemed poised to engulf it.

Wherever this malevolent energy covered, the flowers and plants all withered.

But the little paper figure and Mo Zhi opened their mouths and inhaled fiercely, and the Yin energy immediately decreased at a visible speed.

Xie Xuzhi stared at the scene in disbelief: "Is this the Yin Sha Qi you mentioned, the kind that takes a near-death experience to clear away each time?"

Yun Ran was immediately annoyed: "Just tell me, did I clear it or not! For other people to complete this kind of task, isn't it a matter of life and death?"
Just because I'm good at using 'tools' doesn't mean you can deny my contributions.

I strongly suspect that you're trying to use this opportunity to increase my workload without giving me a raise—you heartless capitalist!!!

Xie Xuzhi: ...

"I just have a question."

"Hmph, let me tell you, I work by piece. Didn't you see I deployed more than a dozen little paper figures and a ghost general?"

Taking care of them is easy for me, and I only charge you one wage. You should be grateful!

Yun Ran, who is good at turning the tables and making a scene even when she is wrong, was very self-righteous at this moment. No matter what others do, it has nothing to do with her!
The malevolent energy was quickly cleared away by the little paper figure and Mo Zhi.

The group of black-robed figures hiding behind the aura of malevolent energy were now exposed.

"Why are these the same people again?"

I've encountered this many times before, but unfortunately, I've never been able to find out their true identities.

It's not that the Special Administration Bureau's people are useless, but rather that these people are all under restrictions, making it impossible to find any more information.
