Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 993 - 989
However, seeing that these people could actually recognize it, it temporarily refrained from scolding them.
Yet, when it saw the person most gravely injured, the kneeling posture triggered the Divine Cauldron Spirit’s memory of what this familiar feeling was!
Wasn’t this exactly what it had witnessed most in the Divine Hall before?
The only difference was that back then, be it the High Priest or the Divine Servants, they were all dressed in pure white garments.
Moreover, every individual was spotless, each carrying the fragrance unique to Taixue Mountain.
At present, these people not only failed to match the Divine Servants in power, but were also filthy.
The Divine Cauldron Spirit inexplicably felt a little ashamed.
The words it had spoken in front of Yun Ran were ones it now wished it could take back with the turn of time, swallowing them whole.
It would rather be misunderstood than let Yun Ran know it had fallen into such destitution, dragging its Divine Servants down as well.
Yun Ran had no idea that the spirit of a Divine Cauldron could have such vain thoughts.
The wheelchair moved next to the person the Little Paperman had tossed onto the ground.
Upon hearing this, the High Priest finally lifted his head to look at the young woman who was younger than his own daughter.
He didn’t ask who Yun Ran was, nor why the Divine Cauldron had ended up like this, or why it appeared here—no foolish questions were posed.
"Might I borrow you for a private word, fellow Daoist?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Upon entering the courtyard, confronting its defenses and seeing the dense Death Energy and Yin Sha Qi emanating from the Divine Cauldron Spirit without affecting the girl before him,
the High Priest instantly understood that Yun Ran was no ordinary person.
Yun Ran glanced at the High Priest, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
She desired to learn more about this world and its secrets; at times, respecting the other party was indeed necessary.
"Sure."
Speaking thus, the wheelchair turned direction on its own, moving toward the living room.
The High Priest struggled to rise, coughed several times, and blood sprayed forth with the coughs.
Little Paperman: ...
They had just finished cleaning the courtyard entirely, and now it was again stained with bits of blood.
"Give them a few doses of Healing Medicine."
Upon hearing Yun Ran’s instructions, the Little Papermen immediately produced several high-quality Healing Medicines.
The High Priest and the conscious individual swallowed the medicine without a hint of suspicion.
If this woman wanted them dead, she wouldn’t need such a roundabout manner.
Moreover, the Divine Cauldron was here, and the High Priest had already deduced what the woman wanted to know, and only he knew these secrets.
The medicine melted the moment it touched the tongue, and the pain that felt like it would tear apart their internals dissipated significantly.
Only those who had consumed this medicine knew its extraordinary value.
As for those lying on the ground, unable to open their eyes or move, the Little Papermen rudely grabbed their mouths.
Like planting beans, the medicine was thrown in.
The High Priest tidied his somewhat disheveled clothing and looked at his companions.
"Watch over them carefully."
Saying this, he quickly followed the direction Yun Ran had previously taken.
Upon entering the living room, Yun Ran was already seated in the upper position, slowly sipping what appeared to be tea, but was actually a medicinal brew for healing.
The High Priest observed Yun Ran without speaking, taking a deep breath before speaking first.
"Fellow Daoist, let me first introduce myself. I’m Wu Tong, the 358th High Priest of the Divine Hall. According to records left by my ancestors,
a millennium ago, the most powerful High Priest of the Divine Hall, Wu Yun, foresaw a great calamity befalling humanity a thousand years later.
The beings of the world would be nearly wiped out, until none would remain.
Therefore, Lord Wu Yun expended all his power to foresee a thread of survival, dispatched everyone from the Divine Hall,
entrusting a team solely to his most favored and trusted disciple, ensuring they safeguard this site for generations.
Simultaneously, he passed down the position of High Priest, along with a book that detailed an array requiring the sacrifice of nine individuals.
The book stated that if ever the prophecy orb he left shattered, it would signal our moment to strike.
Other Divine Servants didn’t know the cause, but their duty was utmost loyalty and obedience.
Only the successive High Priests knew that, when our troop arrived here, the Divine Cauldron was lost.
The remaining individuals of the Divine Hall were unaware of the internal affairs, believing only that the Divine Cauldron was stolen.
Even after Lord Wu Yun passed, the influence of the Divine Hall crumbled to ruins.
My ancestors bore the stigma of betrayers.
Through the years, we’ve been living here, akin to ordinary folk, yet time eroded what resources our forebears brought.
Living as regular people made superior cultivation resources unattainable.
Later, the ancestors ceased encouraging us descendants to learn other skills, focusing solely on the book Lord Wu Yun left.
Perhaps Lord Wu Yun never foresaw that today, our strength falls far short of performing the full might of the book..."
At this point, Wu Tong paused, lifting his gaze to observe Yun Ran’s expression.
Finding Yun Ran surprisingly unshocked, composed like a lifeless dummy.
Wu Tong immediately realized what he spoke of wasn’t yet the crucial information to her.
He promptly accelerated towards the main point.
"Lord Wu Yun’s prophecy claimed that evil spirits would annihilate this world.
None knew how this prophecy spread, but countless Dark Masters began the frenzied slaughter of evil spirits.
Be they birds, beasts, or awakened flora and fauna, these were all deemed for extermination.
They believed if all were slain, no threat would remain,"
