Chapter 1330 - 1326
"Creak," sounded the heavy wooden door being pushed open.
This noise made Yun Ran and the Bald Monk’s eyes simultaneously look over.
The two, originally furious, unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the person who came out.
If they had truly fought to the death without regard, it would have ended in mutual destruction, and the houses within several hundred meters would have all collapsed.
Such a result would appear extremely unsightly, but if they stopped, they would lose face.
Now someone has come to interrupt, which is the best excuse for a truce.
The newcomer had heard the commotion and came over to check the situation, until he saw a large gap broken open in the almost 3-meter-high wall.
He came with the mindset of wanting to kill whoever was causing the trouble, still holding a large knife.
If the opposite side couldn’t give a reasonable explanation, he had the fierce intention of three feet of blood splattering.
Now what did he see? A woman in a bright red cloak and a Bald Monk.
Seeing such a scene during the day wouldn’t have made him think much.
But now, at night, with the moonlight partly obscured by dark clouds, in this half-light, half-dark situation.
The bright red cloak on Yun Ran made one can’t help but think of the terrifyingly infamous red-cloaked ghost in legends...
"Clang," was the sound of the large knife falling to the ground with a clatter.
Clearly, the scene before him genuinely shocked the newcomer’s nerves.
That sudden metallic collision on the bluestone slab, though abrupt, somewhat relieved the newcomer’s soul about to depart.
"Um, sorry for interrupting, carry on..."
After saying this, the newcomer didn’t even pick up his most treasured knife from the ground and, quicker than ever, darted back behind the door.
In such a tense atmosphere, he even remembered to close that door, quite ’professional’ indeed.
However, in light of the wall having such a large gap, this door-closing action seemed rather redundant.
Yun Ran and the Bald Monk exchanged glances, finally, both tacitly withdrew their hands.
The confrontation just now, both realized neither was easy to deal with, further fighting was meaningless.
But Yun Ran had a personality that always wanted to have an advantage; stopping was already a loss of face, saying nothing would be even more humiliating.
"It’s getting late, I won’t bother with you today!"
Ending with these words, Yun Ran easily leapt through the large gap wide enough for several cars.
The Bald Monk: ...
Wasn’t he someone who could go toe-to-toe with that woman, yet was directly ignored like that?
A feeling like soft cotton blocked his chest, unable to go up or come down.
The Bald Monk’s mind suddenly flashed a phrase: This person is too arrogant, easily struck by lightning.
Yun Ran’s figure disappeared in just an instant, the Bald Monk paused.
Finally, resignedly followed through the large gap Yun Ran had entered.
Though they indeed headed in completely opposite directions.
Yun Ran walked towards her courtyard, but as she walked, she became somewhat dumbfounded.
The place where there should have been a large courtyard, now looked completely empty to the naked eye!
"Where did my big courtyard go!!!"
Yun Ran, absolutely confident, refused to believe she’d gone the wrong way; she refused to accept defeat and took a few more steps.
There was nothing around, as if it had always been an open space.
Yun Ran: ...
Good heavens, she had only been away for a few days, and upon returning, discovered her home base gone!
"It must be Chi Yao messing around!"
Muttering to herself, Yun Ran brought her two fingers together and gently passed them over her eyes, a touch of eerie blue light emanated from them.
The familiar courtyard, which had originally disappeared, reappeared once more.
Reaching out to touch it, her hand passed through a thin air barrier, causing ripples, but ultimately touching nothing.
Yun Ran couldn’t help but be alarmed, this was no simple illusion, clearly another level of spatial dimension.
’Hiss’!!!
Yun Ran couldn’t help but take a deep breath, this method was, in two words, impressive!
Soon, Yun Ran calmed down; Chi Yao would definitely have a major reason for making such a large courtyard disappear.
So, surely something significant had happened.
Yun Ran glanced again at the courtyard, then decisively turned and left.
Since for now there’s no way back to her courtyard, she’ll go find the Dragon Spirit.
At this moment, the Dragon Spirit is trapped in an air cage, and the entire base is sealed off by Azure Dragon using special means.
For outsiders to accurately find where the Dragon Spirit is trapped is basically wishful thinking.
But those ’outsiders’ clearly don’t include Yun Ran; as long as the distance was close enough, she could find the Dragon Spirit.
Yun Ran closed her eyes and listened quietly for a moment, quickly identifying the direction of the Dragon Spirit.
Realizing the Dragon Spirit was truly trapped, Yun Ran couldn’t help but gripe internally.
"Such a fool, boasting all the time, how did you end up trapped, it seems more training is needed in the future!"
These words were all things her masters or mentors had said to her.
Now, as these words are turned towards someone else, there’s an inexplicable sense of reversal.
In the reception hall, there were very few people.
Whether it was fearing if the Dragon Spirit were to escape, nearby people would be affected, or those inside were too confident to need too many people, remains unknown.
Or perhaps it was a trap set by the Bald Monk, who suspected her close relationship with the Dragon Spirit.
But regardless of the reason, Yun Ran never considered retreating.
Easily leaping into the courtyard, a heavy pressure engulfed her, like entering a gravity training room.
In this environment equivalent to ten times gravity, Yun Ran’s steps became sluggish; despite only being a few meters, she took several minutes.
"Who are you, able to come and go freely under this gravity pressure!"
Annoyed already, and then suddenly someone speaks, claiming she moved freely like a snail.
Yun Ran instantly felt irritated: "You’re mocking me!!!"
Despite being someone who often spoke sarcastically, when others directed sarcasm at her, Yun Ran genuinely became angry!
