Chapter 1341 - 1337:
It’s extremely common to discover good resources or treasures and want to claim them for oneself.
But even such common tactics, when rebuked by Yun Ran with righteous words.
Even the Young Prince, accustomed to overpowering everything with authority, couldn’t help but doubt himself: Could I really be in the wrong?
The Azure Dragon and the Bald Monk paused slightly, a clear shock in their eyes.
Yun Ran at this moment seemed to be enveloped by an aura called justice, showing not a shred of selfishness.
Dragon Spirit: ...
Tsk tsk tsk, he’s learned a lot, truly learned a lot. If he didn’t know Yun Ran was a ’money-loving’ person, he might have believed it.
In terms of counterattacks and preemptive strikes, he would never concede if anyone dared to vie for first place against Yun Ran.
Anyone with some dignity, caught and scolded right on the spot, would definitely lose some of their aura.
Indeed, as Dragon Spirit predicted.
The Azure Dragon and his group’s confidence was visibly shaken; they felt they had no reason to speak loudly, let alone confront Yun Ran.
"We aren’t..."
There’s a saying that when you suppress the opponent’s momentum, you must seize the chance to press further, never allowing them time to react.
"Aren’t what? You want to say you’re not doing this deliberately, not robbers, but just look at what you’ve done.
You occupied my territory and tried to capture my Dragon Spirit, wasn’t that all your doing? Am I falsely accusing you?"
Another wave of crushing blows left the Azure Dragon’s group with no chance to defend themselves.
Seeing the opponent’s morale drop further, Yun Ran was satisfied, and naturally, so was Dragon Spirit.
In terms of working seamlessly together, Dragon Spirit certainly wouldn’t fall short.
Yun Ran’s taunt and suppression skills kicked in, and Dragon Spirit’s follow-up was right there.
"Exactly, they were trying to suffocate me with an air prison, thinking it could make me yield, truly underestimating me!"
After saying this, Dragon Spirit, originally the size of a raccoon cat, immediately reverted to human form.
He maintained the dragon shape before so as not to embarrass himself.
Now that Yun Ran had backed him up, he naturally seized the best opportunity to transform back, and now the one embarrassed was not him!
Dragon Spirit’s chin lifted slightly, his expression resolute and unyielding.
Yun Ran: ...
Apparently, Dragon Spirit is a drama queen too, truly an actor; those unaware might genuinely believe Dragon Spirit is an unyielding fighter.
Yet, the results made Yun Ran very satisfied; he wasn’t dragging them down, not in vain for her risky return.
Suppressing the opponent already showed initial effects, and now was the best time to tackle the main issue.
Just when the Azure Dragon thought Yun Ran would continue to press the advantage, her topic suddenly shifted.
"Tell me, the real reason you want to capture Dragon Spirit. Don’t speak those high-sounding words, I dislike them!"
When discussing official matters, Yun Ran’s self-reference reappeared, creating an intangible hint of her extraordinary background.
Everything Yun Ran said and did was to raise her own stature.
To give the opponents an illusion, that is, she can stand her ground against people from the Divine Hall.
Though Qingfeng Temple has some heritage, here, the local authority is more potent than distant governance.
Luckily, everything she did was not in vain; at least now, the Azure Dragon and his group seriously considered whether to disclose everything.
The Azure Dragon and Bald Monk exchanged a glance.
Soon after, Yun Ran saw the Bald Monk take out a string of beads with unknown material that exuded a strong oppressive aura.
"Seal!"
Dragon Spirit’s spine subtly tensed; he clearly sensed a threat from this power.
But Yun Ran didn’t move at all, not even an extra glance, causing Dragon Spirit’s tense spine to return to relaxation.
The already airtight space now reinforced with a special barrier.
Now, outside people couldn’t hear the inside talk, nor could the most powerful magic artifacts detect living presence inside.
"Ha! What kind of secret is worth using such means to conceal?"
The barrier caused sweat beads to appear on the Bald Monk’s forehead, showing the barrier’s uniqueness.
Yun Ran thought there would be no further discussion, but unexpectedly, the Bald Monk simply answered truthfully.
"This barrier can cover the Heavenly Secret."
Yun Ran’s eyes widened instantly!
Impressive, the Divine Hall folks indeed have genuine skills; with just a lift of their hand, they can create a barrier that conceals the Heavenly Secret.
Even her Junior Master would need significant cost to create such a barrier.
This suggests that the Divine Hall’s foundation is slightly stronger than Qingfeng Temple.
At least, she had never seen such easy methods in the Qingfeng Temple heritage.
Yun Ran lightly tapped her fingers on the tabletop, feeling as though she had fallen into a trap.
On the surface, she seemed to have the upper hand, pushing the opponents to reveal their secrets.
But when the secret demands Heavenly Secret concealment, it turns into a ticking bomb, potentially turning around and harming oneself.
Yun Ran wants to say she doesn’t want to hear any secrets now.
But the Bald Monk’s mouth was too quick to stop.
"We need to venture into a forbidden zone; we initially had less than a ten percent success chance, but with Dragon Spirit’s help, it could increase to fifty percent."
In such circumstances, encountering Dragon Spirit made them resolve to capture it at all costs.
Yun Ran shot up from her seat.
"Your secrets and missions have nothing to do with us. Now, you can leave."
Yun Ran’s reaction was clearly anticipated by the Azure Dragon and Bald Monk.
Otherwise, how could figures from the pinnacle of this realm allow themselves to be so thoroughly scolded by Yun Ran?
Partly because they indeed felt guilty, even thinking Yun Ran’s words made sense.
Partly because they had alternative plans.
"Friend, why not listen to our terms..."
Before the Azure Dragon could finish, Yun Ran had already covered her ears.
A secret that requires Heavenly Secret concealment to reveal can’t be something good.
"Not listening, the tortoise’s chanting!"
