Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1123 - 1119: Scourge, Hand Over Your Life!
Xuan Chu didn’t care that the others were tagging along, he just kept pulling stuff out of his bag.
The Zhen Dark Master very tactfully stepped up to take whatever Xuan Chu handed out, afraid of showing the slightest neglect.
The people following behind them looked at each other, watching this scene with some confusion, clearly having no idea what was going on.
Very soon, they arrived at the entrance of one of the alleys.
There was a mark left here by the Dragon Spirit.
Xuan Chu passed the things in his hands to the Zhen Dark Master, then instructed, "Just like I told you before, place these items in each designated position."
The Zhen Dark Master didn’t dare ask why at all; he turned around and went straight to work, his movements crisp and efficient. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
The others finally noticed something was up, but their curiosity only grew stronger.
This Mr. Xuan had not only found this street with uncanny accuracy, he also seemed very familiar with the layout here.
For a moment, they even suspected that all of this might have been orchestrated by Xuan Chu and the Dragon Spirit.
Right then, the previously silent street suddenly echoed with a shrill, miserable wail.
The sound was neither quite human nor quite not, and it even had the power to affect one’s mind.
"Quick, stabilize your original mind!"
The Zhen Dark Master was startled too; just as he finished placing the last item, the sound rang out.
His heart suddenly shuddered, and his whole person froze for a brief instant.
Right after that, a silver-white halo slowly appeared in Xuan Chu’s hand, and the halo grew larger and larger.
Xuan Chu closed his eyes and muttered a Curse Spell under his breath.
Those shrill wails became more and more distinct.
Everyone except Xuan Chu clutched their heads in agony.
At this moment, their suspicion of Xuan Chu hit the ceiling; they were utterly convinced they’d been tricked.
Correction—this wasn’t just being tricked.
They were probably being used as offerings by this supposedly high-and-mighty Mr. Xuan!
Yet they couldn’t even manage the most basic thing of turning around and running away.
Right now their heads felt like someone was hacking at them with an axe; they didn’t even have the strength to speak.
At this moment, Xuan Chu suddenly shouted, "You wretched beast, your life is mine!"
As soon as he yelled that, Xuan Chu’s face, along with his neck, flushed bright red.
When he shouted just now, he’d felt unbelievably embarrassed.
But he had no choice; this was a necessary step in building a persona, a bit straight out of the movies he’d watched.
Made him seem more imposing that way.
Right after, the people rolling on the ground in pain could see with the naked eye countless oddly-shaped wisps of mist flying toward Xuan Chu’s hand.
Uh... strictly speaking, they were being sucked into that strange halo in Xuan Chu’s hand.
The shrill wails grew weaker and weaker.
At the same time, that hazy, oppressive feeling shrouding the area also faded a lot.
Vaguely, they could even see a bit of light.
The Zhen Dark Master still had tears hanging from his face; seeing this scene, his eyes went a little blank.
Then he belatedly said, "So the reason Lotus City has no light is that all that weird black mist was blocking it?"
Those few who had followed along earlier, suspecting that Xuan Chu was behind everything and even thinking he planned to sacrifice them—
Now they wished they could shove their heads into the crack of the wall beside them; this was way too awkward.
Fortunately, just now they’d been in so much pain they didn’t even have the strength to talk.
Otherwise, if they’d actually said what they were thinking—
They’d really have no face to show in public now.
Xuan Chu looked at the thing he’d just collected and kneaded back together into a small black ball.
Avoiding everyone’s eyes, he slipped the little black ball into his bag.
This method was an Array that Huaiyi True Master had taught him earlier, specifically used to imprison those Guardian Dragon Spirits.
He hadn’t expected it to work even better on these resentful spirits.
The time it took was actually just a fraction of what it took to catch a Guardian Dragon Spirit.
Though that made sense; after all, the strength of a single Guardian Dragon Spirit far outstripped that of these resentful spirits, whose power had been suppressed to less than a tenth of what it once was.
Xuan Chu put away the halo in his hand, then finally turned his gaze to those few people who were still sniffling and tear-streaked.
"Next time I make a move, you’d better crank your defenses up to the max. If you get hurt, I’m not taking responsibility."
But then Xuan Chu pulled out a small bottle from his clothes; inside were some Healing Medicine.
"We’ll let it slide this time. Take these Pills and you’ll recover soon."
The Zhen Dark Master reacted first and hurried forward to take the bottle.
Those of them who’d dealt with Mr. Long and Mr. Xuan before knew very well that the Pills they handed out were worth a fortune.
For injuries this minor, there was no need to take any; these Pills should definitely be saved for later.
But he had no intention of telling that to the others.
Who told these people to treat Mr. Xuan so poorly earlier—might as well let them have a taste of what regret feels like.
Once this matter was settled, they’d have no more dealings with these people anyway.
The more that was the case, the deeper these people’s regret would be in the future.
Xuan Chu had no idea what little schemes the Zhen Dark Master had in mind. After finishing with this street, there were still four more to go.
That lazy Dragon Spirit had only bothered to mark these places; it hadn’t actually gone in to purify them.
Clearly, it wanted these people to suffer a bit.
An hour ago, Xuan Chu had felt the same way.
But now things were different; they needed to end this quickly and couldn’t afford to waste too much time here.
Xuan Chu lifted his foot and headed toward the next alley.
After carefully stashing away his own Pill, the Zhen Dark Master tossed the bottle to the others and hurriedly ran after him.
If the others couldn’t see what was going on by now, then they really would be idiots.
After splitting up the Pills, they also hurried to follow.
When they felt the effect of the Pills they’d taken, each of them was shocked to the core.
The Dark Masters of Fuhu City might not be the wealthiest Dark Masters out there, but they certainly weren’t lacking in resources.
They could quickly tell the quality of this Healing Medicine.
It had only been a few minutes, and they’d already learned what "regret" and "squandering heaven’s gifts" truly meant.
All they’d suffered was some damage to their Divine Soul from the resentful spirits’ attacks, along with a bit of physical pain.
How was that worth wasting a Pill with such powerful effects!!!
If they weren’t in such a rush to keep up with Xuan Chu, each of them would’ve loved to slap themselves on the spot.
The Dark Masters from that little Zhen had clearly told them that Mr. Xuan and Mr. Long were in a league of their own.
But their arrogance had made them miss out on a tremendous opportunity!
