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

Chapter 540 Electric Sparks Spurting from the Mouth (2nd Update)
The little paper figure immediately used its 'strongman' advantage, grabbing the writhing tentacles with its tiny hands.

Then, with a forceful tug, it began spitting out bursts of electricity from its mouth, attacking the spot where its tentacles had been severed.

Xin Fu's mouth dropped open. No, he had only ever thought that the little paper doll could shoot out electric sparks from its palms, but he never imagined that it could do the same from its mouth.

"This is a bit like the Peashooter in the game..."

Yun Ran chuckled. Xin Fu's mindset was quite good; even at a time like this, he still had time to let his thoughts wander.

Heavenly lightning is really useful. Tentacles that would multiply after being cut off or slapped off would immediately wilt after being hit by heavenly lightning.

After dealing with the tentacles, the little paper figure began to pant, just like a human.

If its hands hadn't been busy, it really wouldn't have wanted to shoot electric sparks with its mouth.

"Master, all those tentacles have been removed."

Yun Ran nodded, and then a talisman appeared out of thin air in her hand, which she directly struck the person sitting on the array.

The fiery flames immediately enveloped the man, and in no time, he was reduced to ashes.

The little paper figure quickly took out a transparent bag and put the ashes into it.

Seeing Yun Ran's straightforward approach, Xin Fu suddenly understood why Yun Ran had recorded the conversation earlier.

"The skeletons found in the Death Mountain must be burned before they can be taken out, otherwise, who knows if they will be contaminated with some troublesome things."

This statement serves as both an explanation and a subtle reminder.

Yunran always showed more patience towards her own people.

Regardless of what Xin Fu thought, she was determined to make her stance clear. She wasn't cold-hearted; she simply wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Those disciples of Qingfeng Temple who have experienced trials in the outside world will always remember that what they bring back from dangerous or controversial places is nothing but ashes.

Behind every rule and regulation lies a bloody tragedy.

Xin Fu was stunned; he hadn't expected Yun Ran to say something like that.

But he quickly realized why Yunran had said that, and immediately nodded: "Thank you for your guidance, Abbot."

He knew that the abbot was explaining the rules in advance so that he would not be burdened in the future.

"Hmm, let's go check other places. If we can find the remains of other fellow Daoists, let's bring them back with us. It's easy for them to cause trouble if they're trapped in this place."

Logically speaking, even if a member of the Xuanmen sect dies, it is very difficult for them to become a vengeful ghost.

However, there are exceptions. For example, those members of the Xuanmen sect who were killed by Rong Gu were transformed into evil beings even more ferocious than the Ghost King.

She has been in the small canyon for a while now, and has not found any spirits or anything like that.

If they were outside, Yunran would not doubt her own senses.

But this is the Mountain of Death, so we need to be even more careful. Just because she can't sense it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Ran took out the jade pendant containing Mo Zhi's name.

"Get out there and get to work!"

Mo Zhi immediately emerged from the jade tablet. The current Mo Zhi has been completely transformed, and carries a faint but powerful aura.

Xin Fu had long known that Yun Ran had a powerful ghost general by her side, but he had never seen him before.

This was mentioned by Ginseng Fruit when introducing the members of Qingfeng Temple, for fear that he would be greatly surprised if he suddenly saw Mo Zhi.

Xin Fu looked over curiously, and after just one glance, he felt a slight discomfort in his eyes. He immediately looked away, feeling quite surprised.

He had seen other ghost kings before. Although they were difficult to deal with, they were not so bad that he dared not look them in the eye. Was this the difference between a ghost king and a ghost general?

Mo Zhi didn't pay any attention to the 'stranger' beside Yun Ran and calmly bowed to Yun Ran.

"This humble servant greets the Master. What are your instructions?"

"Go and see if there are any spirits nearby. If you find any, bring them back!"

Mo Zhi nodded: "Yes, Master, I'll go right away~"

After saying that, it floated away.

After splitting up, Yunran looked around and saw that Xinfu and the little paper doll had formed an alliance.

Xin Fu acted as bait in front, stimulating the creatures that attacked flesh and blood to move, while the little paper figures finished them off with lightning bolts from behind.

It's unclear whether Yun Ran was lucky, or whether she carried a strong aura of merit, or even possessed the Qingfeng Temple lineage recognized by the Heavenly Dao.

Nothing attacked her; it was Xin Fu and the paper doll who were attacked several times, only to be killed by them in return.

The remaining deadly intent in the small canyon was thus completely destroyed by Yun Ran and his companions.

The fog and miasma that had been lingering before had also dissipated considerably.

Mo Zhi also flew back. At the same time, he used the golden light of merit to conjure a golden rope in his hand, with several dazed and about-to-disperse souls tied to the back.

"Master, I pulled these souls out of the mouth of a flower. If I hadn't discovered them, they would have been digested immediately."

Yunran frowned as she looked at the somewhat incomplete soul, which was completely unrecognizable from its original form.

No wonder she couldn't sense their presence before. With such a faint appearance, if she had arrived a few days later, their souls would have completely dissipated.

"First, transfer some yin energy to them, then keep an eye on them!"

Mo Zhi immediately nodded solemnly: "Master, rest assured, leave it to me."

Yunran will not send these souls to the Ghost Realm until she finds out who they are.

Just as she was about to turn around, Yunran suddenly asked, "What about the flowers?"

"It's been torn to shreds by me. Does Master want that flower? I happened to see a bud nearby. I'll go and pluck it and bring it over right away."

By following the master, Mo Zhi had obtained an opportunity that others could not obtain in several lifetimes, and she had to become the master's number one lackey.

"No need, let the little paper doll go. You just keep an eye on them."

Mo Zhi was immediately disheartened. With the little paper figure around, she could only be the second-best lackey.

Following Mo Zhi's directions, the little paper figure quickly found the flower bud growing next to the rock.

Strangely, not only was there no grass growing around this flower, but even the color of the rocks next to it was different from the rest of the place.

If it weren't for the other flower that Mo Zhi had torn to pieces beside it, this flower bud would have been growing here all alone.

When the little paper figure reached out to pluck the flower bud, the flower bud twisted its body, avoiding the little paper figure's hand.

"Hey, you little punk, you dare play hide-and-seek with me!"

The little paper figure got angry and reached out even faster. Seeing that things were not going well, the flower bud broke off its branch and ran away.
