Chapter 596 The Heavenly Secrets Have Been Successfully Concealed (2 Updates)
The log leaped up and hovered above Xuan Chu.

Yun Ran closed her eyes and began to gradually withdraw the aura of the small world around Xuan Chu. Time passed second by second.

The sky had already darkened, and both Yun Ran and Xuan Chu were very patient.

Just then, a crisp 'click' sound rang out.

Yun Ran suddenly opened her eyes: "Now!"

The array beneath Xuan Chu was immediately activated.

The substitute wood was immediately locked onto by the Heavenly Dao, and the talismans wrapped around it all came loose, protecting the central piece of wood filled with the aura of cloud dye.

In the eyes of Heaven, that piece of wood is Yun Ran herself.

In an instant, dark clouds gathered and thunder roared.

In order not to disturb Xuan Chu, who was investigating the secrets of heaven, the wooden substitute immediately jumped into the air and attracted all the firepower of the heavenly lightning.

With a loud crash, a bolt of lightning as bright as day struck the log hard.

The protective talismans covering the wood vanished almost instantly.

Yunran seized the opportunity and threw over the token that could open the gate to the Ghost Realm.

The gate to the ghost realm was opened a crack in an instant.

Yunran's aura instantly passed through the small crack, and countless ghostly claws stretched out from it, as if they wanted to tear Yunran apart.

At this moment, the heavenly thunder, having completed its charging, began its second strike.

This second bolt of lightning was much thicker than the first, and it was also purplish-gold in color.

The ghostly claws immediately retracted when the heavenly lightning struck. Some of them were slower to retract and vanished into nothingness upon touching the lightning.

Although these ghost claws weren't very useful, there were so many of them that they managed to block most of the heavenly lightning for the substitute wood.

When the remaining wood was chopped down, all the talismans were used up, and a crack appeared on the wood.

If another bolt of lightning strikes, this wooden substitute will be completely split in two.

The thought had barely formed when the third bolt of lightning struck.

With a "snap," the wooden substitute broke in two along the crack that had appeared earlier.

The wooden substitute, still bearing the scent of Yun Ran, completely dissipated as it cracked.

Yun Ran glanced at the white halo outside the Xuan Chu formation, a smile flashing in her eyes. The Heavenly Secret Concealment had been successful.

When the substitute wood was chopped down, it was just to buy her time.

The golden feather concealed the last trace of Yun Ran's aura, so even though she was sitting right there, the Heavenly Dao did not notice her.

The thunder gradually subsided, and the dark clouds slowly dissipated, revealing the previously obscured stars and making the night less gloomy.

Just then, the resentment that had been clinging to Yun Ran's arm suddenly began to grow wildly.

The tendrils that were originally only at her wrist gradually climbed up to Yunran's shoulder.

The flower buds, which were the size of soybeans, quickly grew to the size of pigeon eggs, ready to bloom at any moment.

Just as the resentment was about to press on and grow further, ideally piercing Yunran's heart, an invisible barrier blocked its growth.

The tendrils clinging to Yunran's shoulders could no longer grow.

As the two forces clashed, blood slowly trickled from the corner of Yun Ran's mouth, and her face quickly turned deathly pale.

Yun Ran completely ignored the opportunistic resentment, her gaze remaining fixed on Xuan Chu. The little paper figure, who was protecting the Dharma, noticed someone approaching from not far away.

"Master, someone is coming from the southeast!"

Yun Ran waved her finger, and the little paper doll, upon receiving the command, immediately flew over, intending to intercept those people.

What is a long distance for others is just a blink of an eye for the little paper doll.

Upon seeing the convoy appear before them, and noticing that the lead vehicle was the same one that had brought its master here earlier that day, the little paper figure's face showed a hint of disgust.

It doesn't care who the other party is or what their purpose is in coming here.

Anyone who appears here at this moment is definitely not a good person.

A ball of electric sparks appeared in the little paper figure's hand and hurled it directly at the front of the car.

There was a "bang" sound.

A huge crater appeared in front of the car, and the electrical sparks damaged some of the car's components.

In an instant, all the vehicles malfunctioned, causing them to overturn.

The sounds of overturned vehicles and collisions, along with the screams of those inside, rang out at the same time.

But that's not all.

Normally, the little paper doll would just scare these people a little and that would be the end of it.

But right now, the master is causing trouble. If we are disturbed, we could be severely injured by the backlash. At best, we could suffer minor injuries, and at worst, our very foundation could be destroyed.

How could it possibly allow these people to disturb its owner?

Immediately afterwards, countless sparks were thrown down, and soon, those who climbed out of the car discovered that the ground around them was electrified.

As soon as their feet touch the ground, they are electrocuted; the sensation is worse than death.

These people were held back.

The leader, completely ignoring the blood gushing from his forehead, roared fiercely at the empty space.

"Who is it? What kind of skill is this sneak attack? If you've got the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one!"

The little paper figure was completely unaffected by the sounds of these languages.

The master said that if you can directly suppress your opponent in ranged combat, only a brainless person would give up their advantage and engage in close combat!
Of course, even in close combat, these people are no match for it.

The leader's shouts had no effect whatsoever. Just as he was about to take another step forward to test whether the attackers were still there...

The sparks from the little paper doll landed precisely on him.

"Damn it, who's so uncivilized, getting addicted to sneak attacks?!"

As he spoke, the leading man released something that looked like a bird from his hand.

Even on a starlit night like this, the human eye cannot see that thing clearly.

But coincidentally, the little paper doll's eyes were far more powerful than human eyes.

It could tell at a glance that the bird-like thing was a monster nurtured with resentment and yin energy.

The monster was truly exceptional at scouting and attacking humans.

Unfortunately, the monster was really unlucky; it had just flown out of the electric sparks that the little paper figure had deliberately created.

The little paper figure that had been teleporting grabbed him and squeezed him slightly, and the monster turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.
