Chapter 1359 - 1355:
Before the Dragon Spirit left, it inadvertently glanced at Yun Ran and was startled by the seriousness on her face.
Since knowing Yun Ran for so long, even at the brink of life and death, it was rare to see such an expression.
The Dragon Spirit’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat: "What have you thought of?"
Yun Ran didn’t hide anything and said directly: "I just realized now, the attitude of a few Elders back then was somewhat strange!"
The Dragon Spirit carefully recalled, then looked at Yun Ran with some confusion, unable to detect anything odd. Wasn’t everything fine?
Even he, an outsider, had received the opportunity bestowed by Elder Qing Yangzi, allowing him to safely mingle with the people from the Xuan Master Association, without worrying about revealing his identity.
Yun Ran paid no heed to the Dragon Spirit’s reaction and continued: "You haven’t seen our Qingfeng Temple’s Elders often, so you’re not familiar with how they operate.
Under normal circumstances, disciples of Qingfeng Temple are reluctant to use their merits to ask Elders to manifest unless absolutely necessary.
The Elders are aware of this, so when they appear, they basically bring the greatest Combat Power.
But this time, I used all of my Merit Golden Light to open the passage and invited the Elder’s avatar down.
Yet, the Elder didn’t directly handle these matters for me; instead, they stayed in the world generated within the crevice space..."
Some points of unease, if not brought up, might really go unnoticed.
After hearing this, the Dragon Spirit’s expression shifted from confusion to the same solemnity as Yun Ran’s.
Under what circumstances would even an immortal Elder be so wary and indirect?
The Dragon Spirit couldn’t believe the Elders were teasing Yun Ran.
Thus, there was only one possible explanation for the situation, which was that even the Elders couldn’t directly eliminate those threats.
They could only use indirect methods to guide Yun Ran, just like Chi Yao did.
They couldn’t even speak directly to Yun Ran for fear that saying too much would cause her greater upheaval.
"Whew~"
The Dragon Spirit now felt a chill down its spine, knowing full well that anything troubling immortals would undoubtedly be no small issue.
Instinctively, the Dragon Spirit placed all its suspicions on those Void Runes. Whether or not the Elders feared these beings, they were definitely related.
"So you’ve decided to accept the request from those at the Divine Hall?"
Yun Ran hadn’t said it, but her expression was enough for the Dragon Spirit to guess her next decision.
"Since the Elder and Chi Yao are subtly pushing for this, I certainly must go and explore personally."
What could the Dragon Spirit do except follow along: "Alright then, I’ll prepare as well."
After devouring the Dragon Core of that Black Dragon, its power underwent a qualitative change.
It’s not that the Black Dragon was terrifyingly strong; rather, he had previously consumed quite a bit of Dragon Core, and once accumulated to a certain quantity, the quality dramatically shifted.
He had yet to fully grasp this force in these days. Now that Yun Ran was alright, he had to seize the moment to integrate it.
Perhaps, this time, Yun Ran’s journey might rely on him for survival~
Thinking of this, the Dragon Spirit chuckled twice, clearly envisioning himself as Yun Ran’s savior, amusing himself.
Yun Ran glanced at the Dragon Spirit with some confusion, evidently perplexed by his sudden craziness.
"I’ll go find the people from the Divine Hall; you arrange for yourself."
Yun Ran tidied the large red cloak on her body and strode resolutely to push open the door and leave.
The Dragon Spirit remained in place, attempting to integrate all its power and try out new uses.
This courtyard, defined by the Azure Dragon and others, contained a specific array preventing even the most disastrous experiments from destroying the entire yard.
For the Dragon Spirit, it was a natural trial ground, perfect for use without hesitation!
As for whether the Divine Hall people felt the pain of any damage to the array, that wasn’t his concern.
Once Yun Ran stepped out, those waiting outside straightened up immediately.
From each strand of hair to the heels, they radiated a tension.
Only three people guarded nearby.
Aside from the man in front, the other two stood far away, indicating they had left enough distance for a smooth escape.
"Immortal... Immortal Master, what are your orders?"
Yun Ran: ...
She felt these people’s minds were off; how did she resemble an Immortal Master? It would be better to call her Master.
Yun Ran had no idea she had effortlessly suppressed the Divine Hall people, so even their superior, the Young Prince, dared not be impudent.
Their underlings could only use the highest honorifics to flatter Yun Ran.
It’s said you don’t harm those who wear smiles; if lowering themselves still led to a beating, they’d have no choice left.
Yun Ran wasn’t aware of their thoughts but could see their genuine fear of her as if she were a murderous demon.
Oh, this is so dull!
Yun Ran didn’t even want to spare them an additional glance.
"Take me to your master!"
The man in front of Yun Ran, towering over 190 in height, looked like a small mountain.
Yet, his slightly bent spine ruined the natural advantage brought by his stature.
Upon hearing Yun Ran’s words, the man’s back bent even more aggressively: "Yes, Immortal Master, this way please."
The two people at a distance, realizing Yun Ran wasn’t going to attack them, inexplicably exhaled in relief.
No one knew how solid their despair had been when the three of them were sent here.
The Azure Dragon lived not far from Yun Ran, a ten-minute walk away.
From afar, Yun Ran noticed a dense crowd outside the courtyard, forming a stark contrast with her previous yard.
Most importantly, many standing outside in respectful wait were prominent figures from Mei City.
Don’t ask how Yun Ran knew these people; the answer is, it would be foolish not to recognize the powers of the place you are in.
Each Family Head, upon seeing Yun Ran’s red cloak, felt their tight skin responding.
They hadn’t seen Yun Ran’s true face, but were aware that whoever lived there was extraordinary.
Facing Yun Ran directly now, they found her aura increasingly unsettling.
