Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 867 - 865: Cutting Off Completely!

Xuanyuan Yao’s gaze drifted toward the direction of Death Mountain, his eyes filled with unresolved sorrow.

The divine power on his body was separated from the Artifact Spirit of the Demon-locking Tower through many methods, and many people died to achieve it.

If he weren’t worried about the divine power being affected by being too close to the Demon-locking Tower’s Artifact Spirit,

he would have already personally skinned alive everyone who was causing trouble over there.

He had never met someone as troublesome and long-lived as Yun Ran.

In the past, others had also discovered their schemes, but none of those people ever returned.

Even now, Xuanyuan Yao couldn’t figure out how Yun Ran, a perfectly fine heiress, had suddenly risen in power.

Nor had he figured out the origins of the Qingfeng Temple behind Yun Ran.

Could it really be that they were descendants of other branches of the Witch Clan and could therefore rival them?

But no matter what Xuanyuan Yao thought, what was meant to happen wouldn’t change because of his will.

The passageways leading to Death Mountain and Five Emperors Mountain were already guarded by people sent by Gu Yuan.

Previously, the Xuan Sect members could come and go, but now, no force from the Xuan Sect could enter or exit here.

The announcements previously issued by the Special Administration Bureau Headquarters had some impact, but it affected only the decision-makers.

For those working below, especially those directly nurtured by Xie Xuzhi, the effect was negligible.

As long as the Xie Family stood, subsidies would keep coming, and those working would just focus on their tasks, not caring about the power struggles above.

The Black Robed People inside Death Mountain were mostly dead, and those outside wanting to help were blocked halfway.

All these years, the Black Robed People manipulated others and secretly cut off many people’s resources and opportunities.

Now, they themselves tasted the bitterness of helplessness.

Several highly respected masters, after being "persuaded" to leave, had darkened eyes.

"Why didn’t we know earlier that the people of the Special Administration Bureau were so cunning, blocking everyone from the Xuan Sect to guard against us?"

"How about reporting their unauthorized blockade of the passageways to the Xuan Sect Association?

Their refusal to obey the higher-ups of the Special Administration Bureau can be seen as an internal conflict.

But now, they’re clearly trying to cut off the Xuan Sect’s training, which is too selfish!"

People who wear masks too long and habitually speak in a righteous tone might indeed think they are highly virtuous.

The moment they speak, they criticize from a moral standpoint, without seeing their true nature.

The leader sighed and shook his head.

"It’s useless. I inquired beforehand, and several Xuan Sect forces benefited from Five Emperors Mountain.

Even people from Heavenly Dao Village are there and reclusive old monsters among them.

The Special Administration Bureau sealed the passageways here, allowing those people to legitimately divide resources.

In the end, the benefits are theirs, and the bad reputation belongs to the Special Administration Bureau.

Do you think the Xuan Sect Association will so selflessly stand out against the Special Administration Bureau’s tyranny and offend other forces?"

The others fell silent upon hearing this.

They navigated between different identities, understanding the complexity and greed of human nature.

If only one person’s interests were involved, someone would indeed stand up for justice.

But if some have gained benefits, and others want to intervene, it would cut off wealth sources.

The people of the Xuan Sect Association, in the end, are chosen from various Xuan Sect forces; they must protect their own interests.

After exchanging glances, one of them spoke with lingering fear: "What do we do now? If we can’t even mix in, and the leader finds out..."

They had personally witnessed what happened to those punished by their leader.

A perfectly healthy person turned into an old corpse in the blink of an eye.

Especially since that person’s abilities weren’t inferior to theirs and was quite high-ranking among the Black Robed People.

Yet they disappeared so easily and absurdly.

Knowing that their abilities, methods, and strategies were top-notch had made their public identities respectable, normal tricks wouldn’t work on them.

But that person died so casually, so ridiculously.

Thinking about the consequence of failure made none of them look pleasant.

"Activate the hidden posts in Five Emperors Mountain. I refuse to believe Gu Yuan can uncover all the hidden posts!"

"Fine, the leader instructed us to spare no expense, so we must find a way to bypass the checks here, not rely solely on those hidden posts."

After discussing, the group dispersed to their tasks.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuan, stationed at Five Emperors Mountain, overseeing various matters,

looked at the information and several computers in front of him, feeling a growing headache.

Now, he truly missed the leader.

He wondered how the leader had once effortlessly handled all things at the Special Administration Bureau and still found time to monitor the Xie Family’s affairs.

Could it be that the leader’s two hemispheres could handle different matters simultaneously?

After a few sighs, Gu Yuan resigned himself to handling these matters.

He resolved that when this was all over, he’d need to request a six-month break to recuperate his exhausted brain cells.

Just then, there was a hurried knocking at the door.

Gu Yuan raised his hand to put away the confidential files he had just received before speaking, "Come in."

The confidant’s face was covered in large beads of sweat, evidence of his urgency.

"Gu Chu, you asked us to watch those few necessary routes earlier, and we finally have results. Our brothers over there sent back word.

Several cars from Five Emperors Mountain passed through, looking normal, but the detection equipment shows they were carrying Xuan Sect items."

Thinking of how their wait wasn’t in vain, the confidant felt a sense of relief and achievement.

Recently, they had put in a lot of effort to screen everyone here.

They thought they’d finished, but Gu Chu insisted they keep an eye on those critical routes. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

This precautionary order truly uncovered those deeply hidden individuals.

"Investigate further, ensuring all Black Robed People’s manpower and resources are completely cut off!"
