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

Chapter 796 A Bite in My Throat (2nd Update)
The black iron gate was opened, and a gust of wind carrying the stench of blood wafted out from the dark hole.

Yun Ran frowned slightly; she didn't like this atmosphere.

The man in black robes stood still, clearly not intending to go in with Yun Ran.

Renshenguo glared fiercely at the men in black robes before following Yunran into the dark cave.

Just looking at it, it looks exactly like a huge monster swallowing a living person whole.

Xie Xuzhi, who was following not far behind, felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw this scene.

Jia Feng knew Xie Xuzhi well, and seeing Xie Xuzhi's expression, he knew that Xie Xuzhi was feeling unwell.

At this very moment, Jia Feng, pretending to be a good teacher, patted Xie Xuzhi on the shoulder.

“Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. You should know in your heart which is more important, the vast Xie family or the small Yun Ran.”

Besides, it's not like I'm asking you to personally eliminate Yunran; I'm just telling you not to get involved.

This sounds reasonable, but in reality, it's all fallacy.

Jia Feng understood Xie Xuzhi, and Xie Xuzhi understood Jia Feng, even though they hadn't seen each other for many years.

At this moment, if Xie Xuzhi were to remain indifferent to the matter of pushing Yun Ran to her death because of what Jia Feng said, it would immediately arouse Jia Feng's vigilance.

"Now that I've made my decision, I won't regret it. But you can't control whether I'm feeling bad or not."

Xie Xuzhi's words were clearly barbed, but Jia Feng was not angry at all.

Instead, she smiled and said, "You've grown up so much, yet your personality is still so similar to before."

The same kind of womanly kindness!

Jia Feng didn't say these words aloud, but Xie Xuzhi could guess what he meant.

Xie Xuzhi lowered his eyelids. He truly felt sorry for Yun Ran. She was just a young girl who had only come of age, yet she had to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

And he, the director of the Special Administration Bureau and the eldest son of the Xie family, is a man who can stir up a bloodbath with just a word.

At this moment, however, he is a useless person.

"Let's go, we should go take a look."

Yunran and Ginseng Fruit entered the back of the black iron gate, where a faint light gradually appeared, enough for them to see the path beneath their feet.

This place is very similar to the tunnel they used to enter the Death Mountain, so it must have been built by the same group of craftsmen.

“Host, those lights on the wall actually have a demonic aura.”

Yun Ran glanced up, then quickly looked away. Wasn't there a demonic aura?

The beads that illuminate the wall are clearly the inner cores of powerful demons.

I wonder if those great demons were so overwhelmed by their coffin lids after they died that their precious inner cores ended up being used as lighting tools.

"Those are the inner cores of some powerful demons. They must have been hanging here for a long time, and their aura has almost completely dissipated."

Renshenguo suddenly remembered that Longling had given him a snake-like demon core, which he had heard was Erdan's companion beast.

He then ground the demon core into powder to make materials for drawing high-level talismans.

Those high-grade talismans sold for a good price. He also communicated with Xin Fu, who was outside, asking him to find more demon cores from evil demons.

Now, there are so many demon cores here...

As the chief steward of Qingfeng Temple, he was in charge of the business of selling talismans together with Sihuimen.

The ginseng fruit's eyes lit up. It was a mystery how such a magical artifact could have fallen in love with making money.

"Host, we've struck gold! If we grind these inner cores into powder, the high-level talismans we draw will not only be highly effective, but they'll also last for an exceptionally long time. Several people have asked me to buy more to keep as family heirlooms."

Unfortunately, there are too few inner cores of great demons, and you don't allow us to casually kill those great demons that have gained sentience.

This has made our high-level talisman paper extremely scarce, and it's already selling for astronomical prices!

At this moment, the inner elixir hanging on the wall for lighting was no longer an ordinary inner elixir, but a long string of countless small coins.

Yunran hadn't expected this at all.

Luckily, I ate the ginseng fruit earlier, otherwise, I would have missed out on countless millions.

"You're right. If someone isn't proactive in making money, they're definitely out of their mind. It's a waste to leave it here; we might as well take advantage of it!"

As they spoke, Yunran and Ginseng Fruit split up and climbed to the top of the tunnel to pry off the inner cores.

Although the aura has spread considerably, it is still very useful.

Grind it into powder; it'll be much more useful than leaving it here as decoration or lighting. I believe those great demons will be at peace after they die.

The two felt as if they had fallen into a treasure trove, wishing they had eight hands.

Soon, the tunnel, where light could still be seen, became dark again. Except for some small ones, Yun Ran had not taken the inner cores that had almost spread their aura.

Yunran took the rest as she walked, and luckily her Qiankun bag was big enough to hold a lot of things.

Jia Feng and the others who followed behind looked at the dark tunnel with only a few scattered points of light.

Suddenly I was a little confused.

"What's going on? Why is it so dark inside the tunnel!"

Jia Feng's confidants were also somewhat bewildered. Everything had been fine before, and there were many inner cores embedded in the stone walls inside.

Even the smallest of those inner cores belonged to a hundred-year-old demon.

It's only used for lighting, so it won't be used up in a thousand years.

Now, all those inner cores here are not lighting up at the same time, which has left the man in black robes somewhat puzzled.

Soon, someone brought the lighting equipment back.

The dark tunnel was suddenly illuminated by the headlights.

The condition of the stone wall was also clearly revealed to everyone. The stone wall, which had previously been inlaid with many inner cores, was now pitted and uneven.

Those pits are naturally the marks left after the inner core was dug out.

Everyone:...

Jia Feng was so angry that his face changed color, even though they hadn't seen with their own eyes that Yun Ran had taken away all those inner cores.

However, Yun Ran and her group are the only outsiders here; no one else would do such a thing.

Xie Xuzhi was beside them.

Without even thinking, it's obvious that Yun Ran was responsible.

Living in the central region of the Death Mountain, the inner core of a great demon is not a rare thing.

However, the fact that Yunran had taken it away still made everyone present, except for Xie Xuzhi, feel what it meant to have a fishbone stuck in their throat.

It's like a toad jumping on your foot—it doesn't bite, but it's still annoying.

Xie Xuzhi's lips curled up slightly. He knew that Yun Ran always had a way to make the enemy suffer.
