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

Chapter 900 The Dust Settles (2 Updates)
When Gu Yuan received Yun Ran's call, he couldn't hold back his tears at all; they immediately turned red, and even his nose felt sore.

How long has it been since he heard Yunran's voice?

During this period, his concern for Yunran and the eldest brother even exceeded his concern for his own future.

Hearing Yun Ran's cheerful voice at this moment, Gu Yuan felt that all the pressure he had been under was worthwhile.

"I'm glad you're alright. What about the boss?"

"There are still some follow-up matters to handle on Director Xie's side. However, due to the influence of some special formations, the Death Mountain is unable to contact the outside world."

However, you don't need to worry. Long Ling is still over there, and I've left him four little paper figures—enough to keep him alive.

Of course, what Yun Ran didn't mention was that after Xie Xuzhi formed a bond with her and the two shared a portion of their fortune...

Xie Xuzhi's control over her natal magic weapon, the Heavenly Thunder Token, has also reached a new level.

In other words, if Xie Xuzhi were to encounter a fatal attack, the Heavenly Thunder Token would automatically appear beside him and shield him from that fatal attack.

When Gu Yuan heard Yun Ran say that, he was completely relieved.

God knows, during this time, this young man in the prime of his life not only grew a few gray hairs, but even wrinkles appeared on his forehead.

These days of living in fear are finally over.

Gu Yuan has already decided that after this matter is over, he will take at least six months off and get some cosmetic procedures to reduce the appearance of wrinkles!
"It's great that you're all alright. Are you coming to Wuhuang Mountain now? I'll send someone to pick you up right away. The situation here is pretty good right now."

Xuan Chu and his group have already captured one of the guardian dragon spirits, a black dragon, and they have also locked onto the remaining two guardian dragon spirits.

They should be able to capture the last two guardian dragon spirits in no more than a week.

At that time, the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book will also be revealed.

Oh, right, I also made a deal with He Tu and the others in your name, asking them to intercept those black-robed men who had infiltrated..."

Listening to Gu Yuan talk about what happened at Wuhuang Mountain and the struggle that had occurred at the top of the Special Administration Bureau.

Yun Ran finally understood why Gu Yuan's tone was so light now.

With the matter settled at Death Mountain, the pressure that had been weighing on Gu Yuan has been largely relieved.

"I understand. The previous road restrictions can be lifted. As for those men in black robes, they will probably have to lie low for now."

Gu Yuan agreed with this statement. The black-robed man's previous frantic counterattack was nothing short of a last-ditch struggle.

Now that Yun Ran has taken over the Death Mountain, any further trouble from the black-robed man is futile and could even be a death sentence.

Even the cold-blooded man in black robes wouldn't be willing to make a meaningless sacrifice.

Just as she was about to hang up, Yun Ran said, "I'm not going to Wuhuang Mountain for the time being. I have some things to take care of. But I'll come over in a week."

Yunran was determined to be the first to see the Heavenly Book. All her efforts had been for nothing more than finding it.

If, at the last minute, the Heavenly Book falls into someone else's hands, or is snatched away by someone else, Yunran will be so angry that she'll die.

"Okay, I'll contact you later. Don't worry, I'll definitely help you."

Upon hanging up the phone, Gu Yuan immediately issued the order to lift the restrictions.

Whether they were from the Special Administration Bureau or those waiting for another chance to break through the checkpoint, they all clearly understood what this order meant.

That means the matter on the other side of Death Mountain has been settled.

Several people who were hiding in the shadows, and who had even found a way to infiltrate the Death Mountain, heard that all the nearby checkpoints had been lifted.

Anyone can freely enter the area around the Death Mountain and the Five Emperors Mountain.

They were all dumbfounded.

"What's going on? Could it be that the Death Mountain has really been taken over?" "Who knows, is this just a tactic? What if it's a trap?"

"Perhaps we should consult our superiors and see what they say!"

……

If they could, no one would want to carry out such a suicidal mission.

But they have no right to refuse.

Now that the Special Administration Bureau has made its move, they naturally need to find a way to deal with it.

Soon, people near each checkpoint started making phone calls.

Even those who had paid a huge price to break through the checkpoints heard that all restrictions had been lifted.

They even felt a sense of absurdity.

If this order had been issued a day earlier, or even half a day earlier, so many people wouldn't have died, and they wouldn't be in this place now.

"What do we do now?"

"Wait!"

Gu Yuan's order plunged all the men in black robes into a state of anxiety.

If this news is true, it's not about besieging them.

Their mission this time will truly become the biggest joke since the Black Robe Men were founded.

Their heavy casualties were completely futile and a waste!
But sometimes, many things are beyond human control.

Even if the men in black robes didn't want to believe it, they had to believe one thing.

That is, they really became a joke.

Fortunately, the higher-ups were still rational enough to know that continuing at this point would only result in pointless sacrifices.

Everyone, evacuate and go back into hiding!

Every person in the black robes received this message.

Those whose identities had not yet been exposed breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that their luck was not bad.

But those whose identities were exposed all wore bitter smiles.

This means that all their efforts over the past few decades have been in vain.

From then on, they could no longer walk outside; they could only wear black robes forever, becoming people who could not be seen in public, and specializing in carrying out the most dangerous missions.

Although the reality was harsh, no one dared to voice any objections.

In an instant, the black-robed figures in the vicinity of Wuhuang Mountain and Death Mountain retreated at top speed.

The staff of the Special Administration Bureau also breathed a sigh of relief; they had been under tremendous pressure.

Now that the crisis is over, they finally have time to deal with the aftermath.

When He Tu received the news that they could retreat, he was still somewhat unhappy.

He was just getting into the game when he noticed that the men in black robes were quite skilled, with many even possessing some lost forbidden techniques.

He gained a lot during this period.

Now they're telling him there's no more fun to be had? No wonder he's not happy!
