Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 902 - 900: Dust Settles (Second Update)

When Gu Yuan received Yun Ran’s call, his eyes really couldn’t hold back, they turned red immediately, even his nose felt sour.

How long has it been since he last heard Yun Ran’s voice?

During this period, his worries for Yun Ran and the boss have surpassed even his concerns for his own future.

At this moment, hearing Yun Ran’s cheerful voice, Gu Yuan felt that the pressure he had endured was all worthwhile.

"It’s good that you’re okay, how’s the boss?"

"There are still some follow-up matters that Director Xie needs to handle, but Death Mountain is affected by some special arrays, and cannot communicate with the outside world.

However, you don’t need to worry, the Dragon Spirit is still there, and I’ve left four Little Papermen for him, which are enough to protect his life."

Of course, what Yun Ran didn’t mention was that ever since Xie Xuzhi formed a contract with her, allowing them to share part of their Qi Fortune.

Xie Xuzhi’s control over her Lifebound Magical Artifact, the Heavenly Thunder Order, has also increased by a level.

This means that if Xie Xuzhi really encounters a fatal attack, the Heavenly Thunder Order will autonomously appear beside him to block that deadly attack.

Hearing Yun Ran say this, Gu Yuan’s heart was finally completely at ease.

Who would have known, during this period, this young man in his prime not only grew a few strands of white hair, but even wrinkles appeared on his forehead.

Now, these anxiety-ridden days have finally ended.

Gu Yuan had already decided that once this matter was over, he would take at least a six-month vacation, and even get some cosmetic treatment to smooth out those wrinkles!

"It’s great that you’re all okay. Are you planning to come to Five Emperors Mountain now? I’ll send someone to pick you up immediately; the situation here is still quite good.

Xuan Chu and the others have already captured one Guardian Dragon Spirit, it’s a Black Dragon, and they have locked onto the other two Guardian Dragon Spirits as well.

At most, within a week, they’ll be able to capture the last two Guardian Dragon Spirits.

By then, the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book will also be revealed.

Oh, right, I made a deal with He Tu on your behalf earlier, to intercept those Black Robed People who infiltrated."

Listening to Gu Yuan talk about the situation at Five Emperors Mountain, and the previous conflicts at the upper levels of the Special Administration Bureau.

Yun Ran could finally understand why Gu Yuan now spoke with a tone of lightheartedness.

The affairs over at Death Mountain have settled down, essentially lifting the pressure that had been weighing on Gu Yuan.

"I understand, the previous road restrictions can be lifted, and as for those Black Robed People, they probably can only temporarily lay low now."

Gu Yuan agreed with these words, the Black Robed People’s frantic counterattacks earlier were nothing but their last-ditch efforts.

Now that Yun Ran has taken control of Death Mountain, any further disruptions by the Black Robed People would be futile, even suicidal.

Even the cold-hearted and ruthless Black Robed People would be unwilling to make meaningless sacrifices.

Just before hanging up, Yun Ran said, "I won’t go to Five Emperors Mountain for now, I have some matters to attend to, but I’ll be there in a week."

Yun Ran definitely wanted to be the first to see the Heavenly Book, she had been so busy, but her initial aim was just to find the Heavenly Book.

If, at the final moment, the Heavenly Book falls into someone else’s hands, or is taken by someone else first, Yun Ran could literally be dying from anger.

"Alright, I’ll contact you then, don’t worry, I’ll definitely be supporting you."

When hanging up the phone, Gu Yuan immediately issued the news of lifting restrictions.

Whether it was people from the Special Administration Bureau or those waiting for the opportunity to pass through barriers, they clearly understood what this command meant.

It meant that the matters over at Death Mountain had been settled.

Several who were hiding in the shadows, even those who had found ways to infiltrate Death Mountain, upon hearing that all nearby barriers had lifted restrictions.

Anyone could freely enter the regions of Death Mountain and Five Emperors Mountain.

They were all dumbfounded.

"What’s going on? Could it be that Death Mountain really has been taken over?"

"Who knows, maybe it’s one of their tactics, what if it’s a trap to lure us?"

"How about asking the superiors for instructions, see what they say!"

...

If possible, no one would want to perform such a mission, which could be called suicidal.

But they didn’t have the right to refuse.

Now, since the people from the Special Administration Bureau made a move, they naturally needed to figure out how to respond.

Soon, people near each checkpoint started making phone calls up the chain.

Even those who spent great costs to break through the checkpoints midway, when hearing that all restrictions were lifted.

They even felt a sense of absurdity.

If only this command had come a day, even half a day earlier, so many of their people wouldn’t have died just for appearing in this place.

"What should we do now?"

"Wait!"

Gu Yuan’s command plunged all the Black Robed People into an anxious mood.

If this news is genuine and not a setup to entrap them.

Then their mission this time will truly become the biggest joke since the formation of the Black Robed People.

Their enormous casualties would be completely useless, a waste!

But sometimes, many things do not change according to human will.

Even if the Black Robed People did not want to believe it, they had to accept one thing.

That is, they truly have become a joke.

But luckily, the people in charge were still sane, and knew continuing at this point would only result in unnecessary sacrifice.

[Everyone, withdraw completely, conceal yourselves again!]

Every Black Robed Person received this message.

Those whose identities hadn’t been exposed breathed a sigh of relief, feeling their luck wasn’t too bad.

But those whose identities were exposed, wore bitter smiles.

This meant their decades of effort before were all for naught.

In the future, they would never be able to walk openly outside again, but only forever don the black robe, doing those most dangerous tasks, hidden and unseen.

Although the truth is harsh, no one dared to utter any objections.

Momentarily, the Black Robed People in the areas near Five Emperors Mountain and Death Mountain retreated as quickly as they could.

The people from the Special Administration Bureau also breathed a sigh of relief; their pressure before was indeed immense.

Now, with the crisis lifted, they finally had time to start handling these follow-up matters.

When He Tu received the news that they could retreat, his face still showed some displeasure.

He had just started to enjoy himself, the Black Robed people were quite skilled, with many even knowing some lost Forbidden Techniques.

He had gained a lot during this time.

And now they’re telling him there’s no more excitement, how could he be pleased?
