Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 822 - 820: Omen

Xie Xuzhi listened to Yun Ran’s words and also found them reasonable. As the Young Master Xie of the Xie Family, he understood better than anyone the mindset of those in power.

But not all people in power are the same. Some see people as people, while others become arrogant, believing themselves to be gods or rulers.

Fortunately, he is the kind who sees people as people; otherwise, Yun Ran not only wouldn’t save him but might even step on him twice.

Seeing everything going smoothly, they would soon be able to leave this place.

Yet oftentimes, when no unexpected occurrence is anticipated, an accident appears.

The group was walking along the path when suddenly the entire space began to shake, akin to an earthquake.

The one leading ahead, Ginsengfruit, accidentally tripped, and even the White Tiger struggled to maintain its footing.

The White Tiger was instantly terrified: "What’s... happening? Could it be that the owner of that giant eye is angry?"

Having barely calmed its mind, the White Tiger began trembling once more.

It felt a bit aggrieved — ever since being trapped in the Demon-locking Tower, it felt terribly suppressed.

Back then, no one knew, so it didn’t feel odd. But now, before this wicked woman Yun Ran, it had lost the last bit of dignity it had.

Yun Ran disdainfully patted the White Tiger’s head and directly jumped down.

Seeing Xie Xuzhi also about to jump down, Yun Ran stopped him: "You stay seated up there!"

The White Tiger initially felt suppressed by its bloodline, generating involuntary fear.

Yet, when Yun Ran slapped it, that soul-deep trembling diminished greatly.

Ginsengfruit fell to the ground, causing his cloak to slip off, although his body was still concealed.

Thus, Xie Xuzhi only saw Ginsengfruit’s head floating.

If anyone else saw this scene, they’d probably be scared to death.

Yun Ran, at this moment, didn’t have spare energy to concern herself with Ginsengfruit, instead, she began to look around this shaky space.

The commotion clearly startled that giant eye.

Earlier, the eye merely glanced at them like tiny bugs without any heed.

But now, disturbance occurring here made the owner of the eye evidently angry.

Within this space, Yun Ran and her group were the sole variables...

Yun Ran’s voice suddenly turned solemn: "Retreat!"

Saying this, Yun Ran formed sealing techniques with both hands, shielding Ginsengfruit and Xie Xuzhi entirely.

Simultaneously, Yun Ran threw her Black Umbrella to Ginsengfruit.

Even though Yun Ran said nothing else nor communicated with Ginsengfruit via the System sound, their tacit understanding emerged at this moment.

Ginsengfruit caught the Black Umbrella and then opened it. Initially appearing ordinary and capable of sheltering one or two people, it instantly transformed into a large umbrella.

Immediately covering the entire space that the Light Shield would normally protect.

Xie Xuzhi only saw darkness, unable to perceive the outside situation.

In a hurry, he turned angrily to stare at Ginsengfruit’s solitary head: "What are you doing!"

Ginsengfruit knew Xie Xuzhi would be anxious, though not to this extent, but he wouldn’t bother arguing with Xie Xuzhi.

"Under this Black Umbrella, a separate space forms — created within the Light Shield — an independent domain."

Fortunately, Xie Xuzhi was half a Xuanmen person, otherwise, Ginsengfruit felt he’d have to explain laboriously.

Xie Xuzhi’s gaze flickered, glancing at the Black Umbrella held by Ginsengfruit.

Then he closed his mouth, yet Ginsengfruit still noticed his lips were about to form a straight line.

Ginsengfruit wasn’t worried about the outside situation; the Host had put them into an independent domain for a reason.

Anyway, in Ginsengfruit’s heart, there’s blind trust in Yun Ran.

Moreover, previously, he had given his top three weapons in his arsenal to the Host, ensuring no issues would arise.

Those weaklings, including but not limited to Xie Xuzhi, should obediently wait without dragging down the team.

Xie Xuzhi evidently comprehended Ginsengfruit’s undertone, finally calming down.

Indeed, he couldn’t provide any help, waiting was the wisest course.

Outside, Yun Ran watched those stars once appearing romantic suddenly change colors.

She once more took out the Peach Wood Sword, activating its strongest form.

Despite waiting for a while, the giant eye hadn’t attacked her, yet Yun Ran didn’t consider this a good sign.

Space continued vibrating, and Yun Ran could clearly sense the airflow within was entirely chaotic.

Which meant, they had previously almost reached the exit, but now their path was intercepted.

This agitated Yun Ran; she hated being on the brink of success only to encounter a last-minute mishap. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Earlier, she worried about the White Tiger and White Wolf causing trouble and angering the eye’s owner.

So she controlled the White Tiger, while the Little Paperman controlled the White Wolf.

Yun Ran knew well that this unexpected occurrence definitely didn’t stem from their group, but wondered what was happening?

No matter how much Yun Ran racked her brains, it never occurred that the accident wasn’t internally sourced but came externally.

When the Black Robed People and rebellious Great Demons clashed, neither intended to spare the other.

So both aimed for destruction, damaging many devices used to control and stabilize the Demon-locking Tower.

Currently, no one knew that the Demon-locking Tower wasn’t commonplace, much less easily controlled by mere Black Robed People.

For years, relying on ceaseless sacrifices and commanding Great Demons here barely kept the Demon-locking Tower at peace.

Now, with many damages from external battles and Yun Ran cleaving open the space sealing the Demon King internally,

the Artifact Spirit of the Demon-locking Tower was clearly about to awaken.

Such divine artifact spirits absolutely wouldn’t be easily controlled or used for anyone’s gain.

Once truly awakened, the Demon-locking Tower would inevitably rise, departing the realm of Death Mountain.

Yun Ran and her group felt the vibrations, indicative of the Demon-locking Tower about to detach control.

Underground, the Dragon Spirit and members of the Special Administration Bureau naturally sensed the tremors from beneath.

The previously directionless Dragon Spirit immediately looked to a certain direction: "Over there!"

The Special Administration Bureau members suddenly felt a downpour of joy from the heavens, fantastic!!!

Equally pleased were those eagerly awaiting thunder from the Heavenly Thunder.
