Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 791 - 789: Enemies Are Especially Hostile When They Meet

Chapter 791: Chapter 789: Enemies Are Especially Hostile When They Meet

Originally hiding in Five Emperors Mountain, hoping to see Yun Ran’s misfortune, Rong Gu now found herself a bit embarrassed, hiding in a corner of the ski resort.

She covered her injured arm, disbelief filling her eyes.

Back then, she didn’t leave in time because she knew that whether it was Yun Ran or the people from the Special Administration Bureau, it would definitely not be easy to take her down.

But now, she had actually been injured, and badly so. If not treated promptly, her arm would be crippled.

"Damn it, who did the Special Administration Bureau hire this time!"

He Tu was now with his group of old buddies, looking around angrily.

"She escaped again!"

Originally, he was targeting the Heavenly Book; even if the information came from Yun Ran’s side, he never intended to give up.

He had some acquaintance with Yun Ran, but acquaintance is one thing, and interest is another, which he distinguished clearly.

Thus, he allied with his long-disconnected old pals, promising that if the Heavenly Book was found, the profits would be shared.

As for the Special Administration Bureau, sorry, when facing ultimate benefits, these people feared nothing.

Especially now, their lives had entered a countdown, and they hadn’t reached the pinnacle of the Dao.

If they lived confused and ignorant, they could muddle through life.

But these people had surpassed most humans, reaching the 99th step, and whatever was left, they were determined to complete.

Upon arrival at Five Emperors Mountain, the Dragon Spirit came to him; initially, He Tu thought the Dragon Spirit was there to warn him.

Who knew, the Dragon Spirit was looking for the things scorned by the Righteous Sect.

By rights, he should have sneered a few words, which would fit his persona.

But he had long been familiar with Yun Ran and the Dragon Spirit, knowing their nature.

He Tu rarely found them to be straightforward people.

Unlike some who talk about righteousness but are just as insidious as them.

Yun Ran and those around her were different; they never spoke much, choosing to act decisively regardless of who the opponent was.

He Tu had to admit, Yun Ran and her little companions truly catered to his taste.

Hence, He Tu generously handed over much of his collection to the Dragon Spirit, even kindly asking the Dragon Spirit if help was needed.

The Dragon Spirit declined his offer, reminding him that the one who had hurt him, Rong Gu, might also be around, urging him to be careful.

The Dragon Spirit intended to thank He Tu for his generosity.

These old monsters came secretly.

If Rong Gu schemed against them, they wouldn’t even know how they died.

The Dragon Spirit left happily with the items, unaware of the fury stirred in He Tu upon hearing these words.

They say old enemies are quick to anger upon meeting, not to mention that Rong Gu ambushed him and treated him like a mere stepping stone, not even an effective bait.

This treatment was a naked insult to someone like He Tu, who valued face above all.

Moreover, due to Rong Gu’s manipulation, many Evil Cultivators suffered losses.

The blame fell on He Tu for these undertakings, causing him to bleed out financially to settle the matter.

If he hadn’t crossed paths with Rong Gu, it may have been fine.

Now knowing his enemy was right under his nose, he couldn’t face others if he didn’t retaliate!

Later, He Tu offered many benefits in exchange for the help of his old buddies.

This led to the current situation, with a dozen old monsters simultaneously besieging Rong Gu.

That wasn’t enough, He Tu deliberately leaked some of his aura to draw Heavenly Dao Village’s people over.

Even if Rong Gu was talented and could rival Yun Ran, two fists couldn’t block four hands.

Now, with He Tu and his neutral companions against her, her tricks were useless.

If she used other moves, Heavenly Dao Village’s people could also strike at her.

Because she knew the magic spells from Heavenly Dao Village’s Forbidden Book.

Being attacked from two sides, Rong Gu was in dire straits.

Her trump cards were the Azure Dragon (now dead) and Ancient Beast (just perished) sealed on her arm.

Her other card was the small flag around her head.

Rong Gu looked at her last trump card, madness filling her eyes.

She truly understood why that Taoist who died on the road was filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Without having mastered such powerful abilities, one could muddle through life as an ordinary person.

But she had mastered such strong abilities, yet was hunted down so miserably.

The Azure Dragon and Ancient Beast sealed on her arm were dead, which meant she lost her closest allies.

Unyielding, Rong Gu struggled to get back up; she would never admit defeat like this.

The small flag could conceal her aura, and she walked step by step toward the captive Guardian Dragon Spirit.

If they wouldn’t let her live peacefully, she would teach them a lesson.

Below the snowy peak, an Ice Dragon was shackled, and having been imprisoned for so long, it had gone mad.

Once freed, an avalanche would occur!

Rong Gu couldn’t pinpoint her hatred, but she hated everyone; if she couldn’t live well, she’d take them down with her.

The Heavenly Dao Village’s third elder and companions were searching for Rong Gu when they stumbled upon He Tu’s group again.

Both sides tacitly averted their gaze, pretending not to recognize each other.

After distancing themselves, an old man beside He Tu spat in the third elder’s direction.

"These guys are real posers!"

Hearing this, the others immediately began to complain.

"Indeed, if it weren’t for us holding the line up front, they wouldn’t have had a chance to kill that Ancient Beast."

"Hmph, just watch, when leaving Five Emperors Mountain, they’ll surely claim the credit for killing the beast as theirs!"

"Utterly shameless, if it weren’t for their trickery, we were just short of delivering the final blow, but they stole the glory!"

...

Talking about the battle with the Ancient Beast earlier, they were stifled, knowing it was their effort.

But because they were locked in a stalemate, Heavenly Dao Village’s people mistakenly thought they couldn’t do it and charged forward to deal the final blow.

If this isn’t taking credit, what is!
