Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1077 - 1073: What Are They Really After?

About those stories the storyteller mentioned before, if they were attributed to a group of people, that would be reasonable.

But if they are attributed to one person, it’s idolizing, creating a perfect and flawless deity.

In fact, as long as someone is human, they will inevitably have flaws, and perhaps even a dark side.

Even Yun Ran herself doesn’t dare claim to be absolutely upright and honest.

She wouldn’t dare commit heinous crimes, but sneaky little tricks are quite common.

So, Yun Ran is quite sure that at least eighty percent of the tales about the Lotus are exaggerated.

It’s just unknown whether this exaggeration was mixed in from the start, or added in during the retelling.

However, Yun Ran isn’t too concerned about this; she’s more interested in the situation regarding those Mountain Spirits being refined.

In the bustling streets, the Little Paperman couldn’t directly speak to Yun Ran, so it could only transmit messages telepathically.

[Master, do you think the storyteller’s tale about refining the Spirit Veins is similar to the monster that Er Dan had devoured before?]

If not, then the appearance of those wailing noises in Zhou Family’s alley and the similar totems on the bowl would be too much of a coincidence.

Remembering some past events, Yun Ran’s expression wasn’t too good at the moment.

Coupled with those atrocities learned from Lü Wu’s mouth, the extinction of life...

Yun Ran really didn’t understand why these people deliberately created these monsters comparable to Demon Beasts. What for?

What kind of deep-seated hatred would drive someone to want to destroy this world, even spending hundreds of years to plan it?

What is their goal?

Though she already had some answers in mind, Yun Ran always felt that something didn’t quite make logical sense.

Just as Yun Ran was planning to find those refined Mountain Spirits.

A feeling of danger was approaching—is someone targeting her?

The Ignore Talisman on Yun Ran wasn’t removed; those who brushed past her would quickly forget all her features.

Logically, no one should have especially noticed her.

In the art of talisman writing, Yun Ran was quite confident; most people couldn’t break her talisman.

Now, with this danger coming fast and fiercely, Yun Ran could only release her aura to intimidate the counterpart.

If they knew when to back off, she wouldn’t fuss over it, but if they persisted, she would have to strike first.

Outside the city, in a dilapidated Earth God Temple, nine Black Robed People formed a circle.

In the corner of the temple was the Daoist Changshan, who had once met Yun Ran, and the Wang Family’s steward, both of whom looked barely human.

If not for the heaving of their chests, anyone seeing their miserable state would assume they were dead.

"Found him!"

These individuals were using a special secret technique to find someone daring to impersonate them.

However, just as they locked onto Yun Ran, before they could even see her features clearly, she noticed them.

Especially when sensing the intimidation released by Yun Ran,

one of them immediately sneered, "Quite clever indeed; no wonder she dared to impersonate us!"

They never even dreamed that someone nowadays would really not fear death, not just daring to impersonate them,

but even using their identity to make them take the blame several times.

For their own people, no matter how outrageous their actions, it didn’t matter.

But taking the blame for something, they absolutely couldn’t allow it.

This time, it was Lord Guardian who sent them out, determined to catch the impostor.

Yun Ran had no idea that after just obtaining two copper mirrors, the Black Robed People had already reacted.

They sent people out to trouble her already.

"Quite daring, being found by us, and not only does she not flee, but dares to intimidate us!"

This group of Black Robed People even considered how they would handle Yun Ran after capturing her.

Meanwhile, Yun Ran, in Lotus City, after releasing her aura to intimidate the counterpart,

realized that they weren’t viewing her directly but had instead locked onto her through her aura.

Such a method isn’t something an ordinary Dark Master could achieve.

To lock onto a location via aura, either both parties are extremely familiar with each other and their power reached a certain level,

just like her and Xuan Chu, Dragon Spirit; they could pinpoint each other’s location via aura.

Or, one must use a secret technique, along with a specific medium, to find the target.

The urgency and danger of that aura earlier clearly showed no goodwill.

So, it could only be the second scenario.

Employing a secret technique wasn’t unusual; for any Xuan Sect family or power, having a hidden secret technique was normal.

However, that medium wasn’t easy to find; it had to be something Yun Ran had come in contact with.

Yun Ran pressed her lips together.

That they went to such lengths to find her indicated she should confront them first; otherwise, they’d disrupt her future actions.

Yun Ran immediately raised her hand, sketched a large circle with both hands, and swiftly performed a sealing.

A Water Curtain Mirror, tracing back along that dangerous aura to track those people, was opened.

The Black Robed People in the city’s Earth God Temple simultaneously spat a mouthful of blood. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

However light and careless their attitude had been when they found Yun Ran, they were now just as embarrassing.

Even though only their eyes were visible, it was easy to guess from their eyes that their faces must be quite displeased at the moment.

"This...this person could even use our tracking secret technique to counter-track us!!"

The speaker’s voice was extremely annoyed.

Since joining the Black Robed People organization, this was the first time encountering such an opponent.

He couldn’t even fathom the other’s level of power.

To interrupt their tracking so effortlessly and expose their location.

"Hall Master, what do we do now!"

The leader swallowed a few pills to quell the churning aura inside his body,

before speaking: "Our original intention was to find him, capture him, and bring him back to the Main Altar for punishment! Now that he knows of us and our tracking, let him come to us."

Though they had just spat blood, they hadn’t suffered any critical injuries and only needed minor Breathing Control to recover.

Waiting for the opponent to walk into their trap was better for them.

From beginning to end, these Black Robed People never considered there could be another outcome in their pursuit of Yun Ran the impostor.
