Chapter 185: Chapter 184: Looks Like My Show-Off Failed~
Yun Ran checked once again, ensuring that Little Paperman had swallowed the Evil God’s Divine Envoy without any issues.
She then looked at the sleeping Yun Qing, took a video of her distressing appearance, and sent it to Yun Jinyang.
Only then, under the cover of night, carrying her bag, did she leave the small courtyard and headed towards the previously suspected porcelain and Craftsmen Family.
When she first arrived at the Craftsmen Family, from afar, Yun Ran saw that someone had already infiltrated before her.
She immediately crawled on the ground, using the roadside weeds for cover, and stared intently at the ancient architectural complex that had been around for centuries.
Before coming, she had guessed that these Craftsmen Families must have their own ’secret recipes’ – otherwise, how could their families have prospered for so many years?
Now it seemed just as she had theorized; to the common eye, these ancient buildings seemed normal.
But those skilled in the ways of Xuan Sect could tell at a glance that there was a special spirit-binding array here.
Not too far from it, and with an excellent view, Yun Ran soon heard a flurry of noise coming from inside.
[Host, what do you think the person who went in earlier was doing?]
"How would I know, do you really think I’m a god!"
As her voice fell, a series of gunshots rang out from the courtyard, it appeared that person had been discovered.
Ginsengfruit thought their Host would surely continue to watch the excitement here.
But to his surprise, Yun Ran immediately stood up and with a running start, easily vaulted over into the courtyard wall.
The entire process was incredibly smooth, easily avoiding the surveillance and other defenses.
Ginsengfruit, who had misjudged, had no idea what their Host was planning to do.
Yun Ran crouched in a corner, her fingers brushing in front of her eyes, emitting a faint blue glow from her eyes.
She immediately identified where there was an issue in the courtyard.
Taking advantage of the fact that the courtyard’s security had been distracted by the previous intruder, Yun Ran did not waste the convenient circumstances created by the ’predecessor.’
With several quick evasions, she arrived at a rockery; beside it was a large pond with lotus flowers planted in it.
The place she was looking for was under this lotus pond; the entrance was located right here at the rockery.
A "whoosh" of a breaking sound was heard.
Yun Ran reflexively caught the Willow Leaf Flying Knife shot towards her; in such a dim environment, anyone slow to react would have been hit by now.
A person, looking like a Skull Man, appeared about 50 meters behind her.
He was holding something that looked like a human figure, his gaze fixed intently on Yun Ran.
"So, there’s another one."
Hearing this somewhat sharp voice, Yun Ran felt a momentary daze, but she reacted quickly, shaking her head slightly.
At the same time, she watched the person warily; his voice actually had an effect akin to a sonic attack.
If she remembered correctly, among the techniques of Xuan Sect, there indeed were some who cultivated sonic wave attacks, which once mastered, were astonishingly lethal.
Yun Ran had nearly fallen victim just now; seeing that person approaching, Yun Ran rapidly pretended to have been affected.
She originally intended to explore beneath the lotus pond, and if someone could take her inside, that would be even better.
Skull Man approached, and only then Yun Ran saw that the man was so thin that only a layer of skin was left on him, looking extraordinarily horrifying, even uglier than a ghost.
Although she couldn’t clearly see who was the person being carried by him, Yun Ran was eighty percent sure that it was the person who had intruded earlier.
The eyes of the Skull Man were filled with coldness as he scanned Yun Ran up and down, particularly staring at Yun Ran’s somewhat blank face.
He nodded with satisfaction, "Didn’t expect that the one delivered to our doorsteps is even better than the ones we capture from outside."
Saying that, he reached out, grabbed Yun Ran, and hoisted her onto his shoulder.
This man’s bones were really hard, painfully pressing against her, causing Yun Ran to immediately show a pained expression on her face.
Especially when this man went into the rockery and had to go downstairs, each step was jolting, making it unbearable.
Ginsengfruit hurriedly cheered Yun Ran on: [Host, hang in there, hang in there, keep going...]
Yun Ran: ...
Fortunately, the torturous journey wasn’t too long, and Yun Ran was smoothly brought inside.
Upon entering, the overwhelming atmosphere made her feel extremely uncomfortable, and then she was thrown onto the ground like a punching bag.
Now Yun Ran finally saw the person being carried; it was a very young man, tall but also thrown aside as lightly as a Little Chicken.
[Host, how does this place look...]
Ginsengfruit felt the inadequacy of its words for the first time, as it had no idea how to describe the darkness and horror here.
Everywhere hung Scripture Banners with clumsy talismans, along with countless jars and bottles, most importantly, Ginsengfruit could feel that there was something inside those jars and bottles.
Seeing the situation here, Yun Ran confirmed that the Skull Man was probably harmed by his own Magic backfiring on him.
Her previous suspicions were corroborated.
Now, without needing to turn back time, she could roughly deduce what happened to Hirano Jiro initially.
As a Dark Master, when he discovered the children whose Life Souls were extracted and carefully investigated, he stumbled upon the odd behaviors of the Craftsmen Family.
Unfortunately, the cultivation of Hirano Jiro, a Dark Master, was too low. He might have been captured just as he sneaked in by the Great Xuan Master worshipped by this Craftsmen Family.
The Divine Soul of a Dark Master is much stronger and more useful than the souls of ordinary people, using it to make preserved mud was reasonable.
However, if mishandled, who knows whether the Dark Master’s Divine Soul might turn into a ferocious Evil Ghost.
The purpose of these Scripture Banners was to pacify the Divine Soul, making the person whose soul was extracted forget how they ended up like this, which was a minor matter.
This chain of events, Yun Ran couldn’t help but want to say that these people truly brought harming others to an extreme.
The Skull Man, who had left earlier, returned carrying a bowl of unknown liquid, looked at the two people lying on the ground.
Then he chose the man, squatting down preparing to pour the medicine into the man’s mouth.
If Yun Ran hadn’t been here, it would have been one thing, but since she was, could she just watch someone being harmed by an Evil Technique? That would be a slap in her face.
Yun Ran propped herself up with one hand and performed a big spinning kick, kicking the bowl filled with medicine flying away.
"Your good days are over!"
Just then, the man lying on the ground, who seemed to have been knocked out, also threw a punch but was slightly slower.
Yun Ran: ...
It seems like his attempt to impress failed~
