Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 845 - 843: Twists of Fate

The previously plain and unremarkable Magic Artifact now exuded an oppressive aura.

Unfortunately, most of these pillars had been destroyed by the Dragon Spirit, and all those Magic Artifacts had been pocketed by him.

The scattered Magic Artifacts, even if activated now, were far less effective.

The anticipated scene of a large-scale massacre of all Life within the Underground Palace did not occur.

And the Magic Artifact within the nearby pillar clearly hadn’t awakened spiritual wisdom, so it just flickered continuously.

It seemed to want to connect with other Magic Artifacts to form a complete Attack Array.

The people of the Special Administration Bureau might appear quite ordinary in front of the Dragon Spirit or Xie Xuzhi.

However, they were indeed the elite among the masses. Not only did they need enough Talent, but they also had to work hard to reach this point.

So, they’re not truly stupid; seeing this scene, everyone understood immediately.

Instantly, someone began to flatter the Dragon Spirit.

"Brother Long is amazing, always prepared, making us dismantle these pillars early; otherwise, we’d be in trouble."

"Brother Long is mighty, Brother Long is awesome!"

"Thank goodness Brother Long is here. But what are these pillars for?"

"Anything from the Black Robed People can’t be good!"

...

For the first time, the Dragon Spirit was interacting with people up close for so long, Yun Ran being an exception. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Unexpectedly, it felt rather nice to be adored by others.

By sheer accident, he had broken the most important array of Magic Artifacts in the Underground Palace.

The Dragon Spirit had no idea what a great service he had unintentionally rendered.

After all, he truly never imagined someone would be so dull as to hide a trump card-level killer move in these stone pillars.

Likewise, the Black Robed People probably didn’t expect anyone to focus on destroying their stone pillars and quietly stash away the Magic Artifacts inside.

All these coincidences slashed Jia Feng’s grand plan by more than half.

The more praised he was, the more composed the Dragon Spirit appeared.

He raised his hand for calm, adopting a steady demeanor, and said, "It’s just a minor matter, nothing to make a fuss about. Moreover, everyone should stay away from those stone pillars!"

The people from the Special Administration Bureau, not knowing the Dragon Spirit’s true nature, grew even more respectful of him after hearing this.

"Yes, we will all listen to Brother Long."

The Dragon Spirit, who had put on a show, felt increasingly elated inside.

He reflected for a moment, realizing he’d become accustomed to shirking responsibility.

Hmm, he should personally set an example from now on.

Meanwhile, Rong Gu, trapped inside the Demon-locking Tower, looked at the suddenly appearing mist.

Being sensitive to the killing intent, she immediately took out her last small flag.

The small flag spun rapidly. Though only one remained, it still spun quickly.

But it couldn’t compare to the defense level when three flags spun together.

Under such circumstances, Rong Gu could only make do.

With the small flag revolving around her, her movement wasn’t restricted, but she couldn’t see the surroundings clearly.

For Rong Gu, it was as if she suddenly went blind.

The situation made Rong Gu inexplicably anxious inside.

A sense of unspeakable frustration crept in, feeling that fate was particularly harsh to her.

As if every good thing would slip away from her at the last moment, be it precious items or a good life.

Her family, her future, and now the treasure nearly within reach.

This mist appeared so conveniently, just when she was about to uncover the secret of the Demon-locking Tower.

Rong Gu bit her lip tightly; she didn’t believe in fate, so she resolved to fight against it!

Driven by inner determination, Rong Gu continued to move forward.

After the mist appeared, all sounds and sights around vanished.

Her only reliance was the last remaining sense after her small flag warded off the mist’s effects.

While walking, Rong Gu heard a faint yet non-human, non-animal sound full of allure.

If it were anyone else, the sound would have terrified them.

But Rong Gu was not just anyone; she stepped firmly toward the direction of the sound.

She wanted to see what lay behind the mist.

As Rong Gu moved forward, she didn’t notice the pair of red eyes watching her in the mist.

And before getting too close, she suddenly struck out with her hand.

The place she hit instantly froze into solid ice.

The pair of red eyes, encased in ice, looked utterly disbelieving.

It had previously fooled many other Life forms with such tricks and then drained their life force.

Perhaps its previous actions had been too smooth, leading it never to expect a Life form with no curiosity whatsoever.

Upon hearing the sound, it not only discerned the direction but also attacked straight away.

"Wuwuwu..."

The red eyes immediately emitted a wailing sound; without a physical form, only those eerie eyes made it appear quite sinister.

Especially concealed in the mist, its mysterious impression could terrify many Life forms.

Rong Gu approached her earlier handiwork, finally seeing the result of her strike.

A pair of red eyes, trapped in the crystalline ice, darted left and right.

Expecting to capture something significant, yet this was it?

Rong Gu felt a sense of disdain and even lazily refrained from questioning what it was.

In her understanding, something with no physical form was insignificant since the Dragon Spirit also lacked a body.

But a being without even a complete phantom wasn’t worth a second glance.

Rong Gu’s arm, now covered with scales, even hinted at turning into Dragon Claws.

She merely extended her hand, lightly pinching, and the seemingly crystalline ice shattered into pieces.

As for the previously wailing red eyes, they shattered at the same moment.

Rong Gu flicked her sleeve lightly, her face full of impatient disdain.

She mumbled, "Such a messy thing dared come near me!"

The remark nearly brought the shattered red eyes back to life in rage!
