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

Chapter 981 This is a one-time event, and there will be no next time! (2 updates)
Long Ling's blatant "this is over, don't bother me anymore" attitude greatly alarmed the association's president.

If his status allowed, he would have knelt down and begged for forgiveness from Long Ling right now.

At the same time, he cursed in his heart those who had offended Long Ling before. They were all really courting death and had dragged him down with them!

“Mr. Long, we shouldn’t have troubled you anymore. You saved us and helped us before…”

We should be content, but in a few days, someone from the General Association will be coming. Please stay a little longer and help us one last time.”

Long Ling's original goal was to infiltrate the upper echelons of these Xuan Masters.

However, he wouldn't rush to befriend those people; he needed them to beg him for favors.

Long Ling remained silent for a long time, looking quite annoyed.

This made the association president even more terrified, fearing that if he said the wrong word, Long Ling would leave in a huff.

Xuan Chu also appeared at this opportune moment, although he had very little time to spend alone with Long Ling.

However, they have a great understanding when it comes to serious matters.

With just one glance, he understood what Long Ling wanted to do, and immediately began to play the good cop and the bad cop with Long Ling.

“Junior brother, we are all members of the Xuanmen sect. Master once said that he hoped we could slay demons and eliminate evil. Now, it’s just a matter of delaying a little longer here. It’s nothing.”

Long Ling's expression was still very unpleasant, but she also seemed to have been persuaded by Xuan Chu.

The association's president, being a shrewd individual, immediately followed Xuan Chu's lead and began to speak.

"Mr. Long, rest assured, I will definitely keep my subordinates in check during this time and will absolutely not allow them to offend you again."

Once the people from the General Association arrive and everything is clear, we'll definitely reward you handsomely—whatever you want, you can have it!

Long Ling's face still showed a very impatient expression.

But since the association president had already said all that, he couldn't continue the stalemate.

All I could say was, "This is a one-time thing, and there will be no next time!"

With that, Long Ling turned and went back to the tent, as if she wanted to avoid seeing him.

Xuan Chu probably never imagined that one day, he, who was once considered by many to be a difficult person to communicate with, would become a lubricant for other people's communication.

As Long Ling returned to her tent, the association's president turned to look at Xuan Chu.

His attitude remained extremely respectful: "Thank you, Mr. Xuan."

Xuan Chu waved his hand and sighed softly: "My junior brother is like this, but he is very kind. If it weren't for the many innocent people here..."

No matter how much I try to persuade him, he won't agree. We, his fellow disciples, are out here to train; we don't care about worldly possessions.

After saying that, Xuan Chu turned and left, seemingly unwilling to deal with anyone else.

After everyone had disappeared, the Xuan Masters who had been hiding elsewhere finally came out.

Looking at the two-headed vengeful snake on the ground, which had already fainted, it was clearly a vengeful spirit, but almost as solid as a physical being.

Upon seeing the two-headed vengeful serpent that had attacked them the previous night up close, several people's legs began to tremble.

"President, this two-headed vengeful spirit snake..."

"Put it away. With this, although we are still lacking in quantity, the quality is comparable to many demons and monsters."

Immediately, someone stepped forward and opened the box they had specially used to trap demons and monsters. This box was given to them by the General Association and was specifically designed to trap such things.

After the two-headed vengeful spirit snake was locked up, the guild leader looked at his trusted confidants. "Remember, during this time, you must not provoke Mr. Long and Mr. Xuan. They will play a significant role in whether we can pass this test smoothly."

Local Xuanshi Associations not only bear the responsibility of protecting the local area, but capturing demons and evil spirits is only one of their tasks.

Another task is to find promising young Xuan Masters, which would be considered a performance achievement by the General Association.

"Don't worry, President, we will definitely not offend them."

With everything settled here, most of the Xuan Masters, having rested well, returned home ahead of schedule.

Only a small number of Xuan Masters remained, waiting in place.

They would wait until Long Ling and Xuan Chu had rested before going back together.

To put it bluntly, these people are now considered to be the lackeys of Long Ling and Xuan Chu.

The dragon spirit doesn't need to rest at all, but Xuan Chu is made of flesh and blood, so he does.

Seeing that Long Ling's anger seemed to have subsided a bit, the little paper figure then told Long Ling about what happened after they left last night.

Looking at the little paper figure's puffed-up face, Long Ling said, "You mean, someone sneaked into my tent and put those seeds of death energy on my bed?"

The little paper doll nodded quickly: "You also think those people are stupid, right? That person must be a spy, so I just took care of him!"

Long Ling was truly speechless at this moment, probably because she really didn't expect that someone could be so stupid.

He was able to catch that two-headed vengeful spirit snake, so why would he think of using such a method to deal with it?

Where is that person now?

The little paper figure left a mark on that person.

"That person was taken away by the others as a wounded soldier, but no matter where he runs, he can't escape my grasp!"

As he spoke, the little paper figure made a fist with all five fingers.

When it dealt with that person, it didn't let anyone notice anything amiss. Even now, that person probably doesn't know how they got injured.

"Oh, right, my master also told me to tell you that all the creatures here have become sacrifices to some unknown monster..."

Long Ling hadn't expected that Yun Ran would uncover such a huge secret in just one night.

I immediately felt a tingling sensation on my scalp.

Even a being born of nature cannot withstand the power of the time rules.

"No, I have to go back and see for myself what's going on!"

If, as Yunran said, this place is in an endless cycle, and they are the variables who have stumbled in, no one can say for sure how dangerous it will be.

"You stay here and keep an eye on things. When Xuan Chu wakes up, let him handle it!"

With that, Long Ling vanished from the spot.

At that moment, Yunran was drinking the medicinal porridge specially prepared for her by ginseng fruit when she saw the little paper figure carrying a huge cauldron descending from the sky.

The ginseng fruit looked at the large cauldron, which was almost two meters tall. Except for one corner, which was made of white jade, the rest of the cauldron was a shiny black.

"Host, is this the divine cauldron that Xuan Chu mentioned before, the one that gave birth to a spirit?"
