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

Chapter 998 What the hell is this?!

At this moment, Xuan Chu would be easily injured if attacked.

Although it was a bit speechless, Xuan Chu had already been categorized as one of their own by Long Ling.

Therefore, he still had to protect Xuan Chu a little, at least not let anyone die under his nose, otherwise, Yun Ran would definitely become estranged from him.

Thinking of this, Long Ling moved closer to Xuan Chu and then stuck a stack of defensive talismans on him.

All of these were things he shamelessly begged from the ginseng fruit back then...

As for the incident where he asked for too much, he almost angered the good-natured ginseng fruit, but Long Ling had long forgotten about it.

After setting up defenses for Xuan Chu, Long Ling finally felt like watching the show again.

Those people from the General Association were clearly not easy to talk to, especially when they saw these evil spirits and monsters in the dungeon.

He immediately burst out laughing in anger.

"Is this all you have to offer? Do you really think you can just take the Central Committee seriously because you're far from the central government?"

These words were certainly considered harsh by the local Xuan Masters.

In this world, the status of a Xuan Master is very high, which means that being a Xuan Master is also a business.

All Xuan Masters must obtain a certificate issued by the General Association before they can travel outside.

To obtain the status of a Mystic Master, one either needs to have a lineage or receive a quota from a master or family elder.

Alternatively, one might have to spend a considerable portion of their wealth to obtain even a low-level spot.

As a result, many heretical practitioners have emptied their pockets in order to obtain a legitimate certificate for themselves.

At this moment, the words spoken by the people from the General Association were clearly a threat to the local Xuan Masters.

If they are not satisfied, it's uncertain whether these people from the local Xuan Master Association can still keep their positions.

Upon hearing this, the president could no longer hold back.

They quickly replied, "Sir, you misunderstand. How could we dare to have such thoughts?"

In truth, all the spirits and demons in this area have been killed by this two-headed vengeful serpent. We even injured many people in our efforts to capture it.

If it weren't for the help of a fellow Daoist, what you'd see now would probably be our corpses..."

The two-headed vengeful spirit snake is very difficult to catch; they almost died back then.

However, these were originally two completely unrelated things, but the president insisted on saying them as one thing.

The effect is naturally different.

As he spoke, the chairman also brought over his subordinate who had been seriously injured and whose body was still not completely free of death energy.

"Sir, if you don't believe me, look, the wounds on my men haven't even healed yet."

When the chairman pushed the man in front of the people from the General Association, he took out a piece of ancient jade from his pocket and put it in the man's hand.

Although from the beginning, the president intended to give away the ancient jade.

However, when I actually sent it out, I still felt a pang of sadness.

This ancient jade was passed down from his ancestors and is very precious. If he hadn't had no other choice this time, he would never have given it away.

The people in charge of the General Association originally didn't intend to give them a friendly look.

But the warm, smooth feel of the ancient jade in his hand made the rebuke he was about to utter turn into something else entirely.

"Alright, let me see first. If you're lying to me, you should know the consequences!" Long Ling didn't expect that his initial intention of not completely removing the death energy so that these people would suffer a little would now become the key to their success.

The people of the General Association have their own methods for detecting death energy.

Soon, it was clear from the test that the death energy remaining in the person's body was extremely domineering.

Even this tiny remnant almost destroyed the person's foundation.

If those death energies hadn't been removed, this person's entire body would probably be festering by now.

The people in charge of the association originally thought that if they accepted the ancient jade, they could at least give them some face.

But the test results made his gaze toward the two-headed vengeful spirit snake seem unusually intriguing once again.

"If this two-headed vengeful serpent is really as powerful as you say, then you've passed this time, but next time someone comes, I won't be so lenient with you!"

This clearly means that the ancient jade can only be used this one time, and it will not be valid for the next inspection.

The president quickly bowed and nodded, "Yes, yes, you are right, we will definitely remember it well."

As for next time, we'll have to deal with that next time. Let's get through this hurdle first.

Sigh, I really don't know what these people in power are doing. Can't they just live their lives peacefully?

Their town, which was so remote, was living a good life before, but now it's all in chaos.

The person in charge of the general association glanced at the person next to him and gestured for him to inspect the goods.

The man nodded, then turned and left. A moment later, he and another person carried in something as tall as a person, covered with a black cloth.

If Xuan Chu weren't so engrossed in his cultivation, he would recognize it as the bronze mirror he had discovered earlier.

Long Ling was also looking at the thing with some curiosity, wanting to know what these people were trying to do.

Soon, the mystery was solved.

After the black cloth was removed from the bronze mirror, it seemed to sense that there was something it wanted here, and immediately emitted a dazzling white light.

The light emanated from the bronze mirror, giving it a very eerie feel.

Long Ling immediately thought of what Xuan Chu had said before, and when she looked at the bronze mirror again, her eyes showed some displeasure.

What good thing could it be that can devour those resentful souls?

The most important thing, as Xuan Chu said before, is that this thing can also affect Xuan Chu's soul, so it is definitely an evil thing!

At that moment, the spirit of the Demon-Locking Tower, which had been disliked by the Dragon Spirit and then locked up in his consciousness, suddenly spoke.

Be careful, this bronze mirror can reflect your true form, and it likes the most powerful creatures!

Dragon Spirit: ...

The spirit of this Demon-Sealing Tower, if it doesn't speak, fine, but when it does speak, it says such frightening things!

If any other artifact spirit said this to the Dragon Spirit, the Dragon Spirit would not only not believe it, but would even spit on the other party.

Then he scoffed and said, "What a piece of trash! Daring to covet him? They really don't know why the flowers are so red!"

But at this moment, these words came from the spirit of the Demon-Sealing Tower, so the Dragon Spirit had no choice but to believe them.

The spirit of the Demon-Sealing Tower may not be genuinely helping him out of kindness, but if he dies, the spirit of the Demon-Sealing Tower will also perish.

For the sake of its own life, the spirit of the Demon-Sealing Tower would never make up such nonsense.
