Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 876 - 874: Those People Really Are Lunatics! (Second Update)
This tension probably stems from the feeling that all the speculation can reach a conclusion in just a few seconds, and absolutely cannot be missed.
The cracks healed halfway and then stopped, the original healing speed of the ice coffin also stalled.
This scene made Yun Ran’s mind involuntarily come up with a thought, if there were enough cracks caused by the Magic Artifacts...
Junior Master had already concluded: "Not enough in number!"
Yun Ran counted, 34 Magic Artifacts.
Including the one that broke on the ground, there were only 35 in total.
What a pity, she had accidentally broken one earlier, what a pity, maybe that final variable was on this Magic Artifact?
Huh, that’s not right!
For Xuanmen people, there is a very sensitive set of numbers regarding such Magic Artifacts.
For example, numbers like nine, twelve, thirty-six, seventy-two, and the like.
Yun Ran’s gaze immediately shifted to the Dragon Spirit who had already drawn half of the Purple Imperial Talisman.
Oh, this guy really has some talent in talismanic arts; back when she learned this talisman, it took her a whole day to master it.
However, now is not the time to marvel at the Dragon Spirit’s talent.
"Why are there only thirty-five, didn’t you collect them all?"
The Dragon Spirit turned his head and replied to Yun Ran’s words.
"Oh, when I was outside before, I gave, oh no, I lent one to Xie Xuzhi."
At that time, he felt that this Magic Artifact would be very useful if used on other restless Life.
Wasn’t it to reduce a bit of pressure on the Little Paperman, that’s why it was lent out.
Yun Ran: ...
The proper set of Magic Artifacts was just dismantled like this by the Dragon Spirit!
Yun Ran suddenly felt like she couldn’t catch her breath.
Now, she seemed to understand a bit of her master’s irritated feelings whenever he saw her spread out the Magic Artifacts in her hand.
Perhaps Yun Ran’s almost desperate intention to scold him was too obvious, the Dragon Spirit asked weakly: "Is there a problem?"
Of course, there is a problem, and a big one at that!
With only 34 Magic Artifacts, the crack in the ice coffin couldn’t heal. If all 36 were present, they might have already taken down this ice coffin.
At this moment, Yun Ran righteously forgot all about breaking one herself.
Otherwise, as they say, people are always quick to forgive their own mistakes but treat the same mistakes by others as unforgivable.
The Dragon Spirit also wasn’t the type to dumbly wait for others to enlighten him.
His gaze shifted back to the direction of the ice coffin.
Then, he froze. Previously, he had tried leaving his mark on this ice coffin.
But in the end, half of his power was absorbed by the ice coffin; if it weren’t for that remnant dragon providing support, he would still have to deal with his dragon horn.
That little dragon man’s form, who liked it other than himself!
This scene before him now told him that the Magic Artifacts he had ’picked up’, when used together, actually had such great power!
"So, the array on the other side of the Underground Palace was meant to suppress this ice coffin!"
This statement was like a key, instantly resolving some of their previous confusion or parts that didn’t make sense.
"Could it be that the previous fog was the trickery of those Black Robed People, with the aim of making all the remaining Life within the Demon-locking Tower die out?
But the final power of the fog would be absorbed by this ice coffin, and the array based on these Magic Artifacts was to prevent the Artifact Spirit inside the ice coffin from awakening?"
If this is the case, then everything before would make sense.
Thinking about this, Yun Ran thought of the white bones they had discovered earlier.
Instantly, a chill surged from the soles of her feet.
This behavior absolutely couldn’t have been happening for the first time.
Over the centuries, this so-called ’cleansing’ might have occurred many, many times.
"But why?"
Such actions can barely be considered as feeding nutrients to the Artifact Spirit of the Demon-locking Tower, but they also suppress its awakening.
"Naturally, it’s because keeping the Artifact Spirit in a good slumber is more beneficial to them."
Those Black Robed People neither want the Artifact Spirit to die due to energy exhaustion nor can they allow it to awaken and break free from their control.
At this point, not only was Yun Ran’s scalp tingling, but even the Dragon Spirit, who normally didn’t hold other creatures in high regard, felt a tinge of discomfort.
"Those people are really madmen!"
The more such moments, the faster Yun Ran’s mind raced; she recalled what Xie Xuzhi’s so-called teacher said before.
He needed Xie Xuzhi’s blood and even Yun Ran’s life as sacrifices.
Yun Ran immediately looked at the Dragon Spirit: "Take us to the place where you found this ice coffin before!"
Dragon Spirit: ...
After wandering around for so long before, he no longer remembered the way.
But seeing Yun Ran’s words were clearly not up for refusal, the words "I don’t remember" were swallowed back down.
Isn’t it just finding the way back, after all, he’s a Dragon Spirit, how could such a small matter stump him?
Ha, absolutely impossible!
The Dragon Spirit resignedly stood up, ready to lead the way.
But then he heard Yun Ran say: "Drag this ice coffin along!"
Dragon Spirit: ...
Really pulling all the stops with just him!
After a brief moment of anger, the Dragon Spirit obediently started dragging the ice coffin.
Who made it so that right now, he’s the only one in one piece here.
Though Yun Ran seemed to have recovered, the attempt earlier by the Magic Artifact to strip away her Divine Soul still caused her some effects, making her steps unsteady.
As for Junior Master, now just a phantom, even if he had the strength to drag, the Dragon Spirit couldn’t bring himself to shirk the task.
He had just improved his favorability in front of Junior Master, if he dared to slack off, it would be unfair to his previous efforts!
The Dragon Spirit diligently dragged the ice coffin back.
Meanwhile.
At the Kyoto Special Management Bureau Headquarters, Xuanyuan Yao looked at his reflection in the mirror, noticing that he had sprouted dozens more white hairs.
On that refined face, fine lines faintly appeared.
All signs pointed to one result.
Which is, the time that had long ceased to move on his body has indeed restarted again.
This also implies a significant change occurred at Death Mountain.
Xuanyuan Yao felt somewhat restless; to isolate the influence of the Demon-locking Tower externally, they used Yin Moon Stone to seal off communication to that side.
But now there are some problems, he felt very passive, having no clue where the problem lay.
Xuanyuan Yao could only pick up the phone and dial out again. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
The phone was soon connected.
"Your current efficiency leaves me very dissatisfied!"
The person on the other end, hearing these words, felt chills down their spine.
In the past, those who received similar assessments didn’t even leave bone fragments behind.
