Chapter 1185: Chapter 1181: Why Get Involved in Trouble?

Er Dan was dragged away by the neck, but his body was dragged away.

However, his eyes remained fixed on the big guy that was still moving.

It wasn’t until they walked a long way that Er Dan withdrew his gaze, tugged his neck, signaling Ginsengfruit to let go.

"You want to ask me why I don’t want that inheritance?"

The doubt in Er Dan’s eyes was too obvious. With him around, finding that big guy would be a piece of cake.

Just as they were about to get their hands on it, Ginsengfruit dragged him away like that, leaving Er Dan puzzled.

At this moment, Er Dan resembled a child curious about everything, and a rather temperamental one at that.

It’s fortunate the person in front of him is Ginsengfruit; if it were Yun Ran, Er Dan wouldn’t entertain him at all.

Ginsengfruit was amused by Er Dan’s stubborn desire for an answer but wasn’t angry at all.

This was all thanks to the good teachings of his host. In the past, he had lots of questions too, but his host was never impatient.

Whenever there was an opportunity, he would teach him some rules for surviving in the human world.

As long as the overall direction was correct, his host never bothered with minor flaws.

Currently, Ginsengfruit followed the same guiding principles, showing significant tolerance towards Er Dan.

With no others around, Ginsengfruit reverted to his original form.

Though he didn’t care much about his appearance, wearing his host’s face felt a bit odd.

Ginsengfruit ruffled Er Dan’s head: "You’ve seen the bones here. If that so-called inheritance was really that great, would there be so many cannon fodders here?"

Besides, despite so many people dying here, there’s not a single resentful spirit. Apart from being cold, it’s exceptionally clean.

No need to wonder; those who died here not only lost their lives but their souls after death dispersed as well.

So do you think this inheritance is a good thing? Anyway, it’s not much use to me, so why tread muddy waters!"

Upon hearing this, Er Dan’s round eyes immediately became clear.

He suddenly felt Ginsengfruit was right; this inheritance indeed wasn’t a good thing— even a dog wouldn’t want it!

Yun Ran, stabilizing her cultivation, suddenly sneezed without any warning.

If she were an ordinary person, sneezing several times in such a cold environment would be normal.

But she’s not, especially now, she turned misfortune into fortune, broke through the bottleneck she could never touch.

So now, it can only mean someone is talking about her.

Yun Ran sniffed, "Who exactly is speaking behind my back, and it must be something nasty, otherwise I wouldn’t have sensed it!"

Hmph, better not let her catch them, or she’ll make sure they know that talking behind someone’s back has its consequences!

The Little Princess Puppet, seeing Yun Ran already stood up, rushed over immediately.

She quickly reported the new developments: "Master, the sound of the light column has disappeared."

After saying this, she looked eagerly at Yun Ran for directions.

Having received the Divine Hall’s inheritance, Yun Ran knew a lot, but there was still a large part she couldn’t comprehend.

Luckily, the exit route was precisely the part she did understand.

After taking out the Peach Wood Sword again, Yun Ran also took out the Compass to calculate the position. Soon, she calculated one of the key points of this barrier.

’Ssssshhh’ sound.

Like the sound of fabric being torn, a gap only broad enough for one person appeared before Yun Ran.

If it weren’t for her learning that this barrier consisted of multiple overlapping barriers from the inheritance, she might have wasted a lot of time finding the exit.

The Little Princess Puppet, clutching the Demon Core, immediately followed, afraid of being a step too slow.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, we meet again!"

Yun Ran had just crossed the barrier gap she pierced through and hadn’t had a chance to catch her breath when she heard a voice nearby.

Before seeing the owner of the voice, Yun Ran almost thought she was hallucinating again.

Even the appearing people seemed like illusions.

The illusion is indeed one of the deadliest tricks of these linked barriers.

So many perished inside; surely the illusion was the biggest accomplice.

The Little Princess Puppet heard a voice and immediately hid behind Yun Ran, standing still.

Even if someone saw, they’d only think she was a doll.

Yun Ran tightened the sword in her hand, turning to face those approaching her.

In just a few breaths, five or six people had walked directly to Yun Ran’s side.

Noticing the heat source emanating from these people, Yun Ran’s eyes flashed—they were actually real people, not an illusion.

What surprised Yun Ran even more was the excitement in their eyes.

Seeing her was like seeing their family.

Thanks to barriers between genders and their restraint, otherwise these people would rush forward for a big hug with Yun Ran.

"Great, it really is you! We thought we were mistaken. You wouldn’t believe how many times we were in danger before. This place is just too perilous."

"Exactly, Fellow Daoist Yun, this place is really eerie. Why don’t we go together? Having an extra person means extra help."

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Yun, why did you change your clothes, and what about your mount?"

...

Listening to these people’s chatter, Yun Ran immediately understood their identities.

They are the contestants from the selection tournament. Judging by how familiar they seem with her, and the fact that they’re holding Demon Cores...

It should be that she’s been delayed for too long, and Ginsengfruit didn’t wait for her to return, so he directly took her place.

Seeing the evident disheveled state of these people, Ginsengfruit must have separated from them long ago.

Now that these people have suffered losses, they’re looking to latch onto her...

Yun Ran now regretted trying to change out of her black robe early, thinking she could leave soon.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, what do you think?"

Yun Ran felt a bit disdainful of these people—she certainly didn’t want to carry these burdens.

Just as she was about to voice her refusal, she suddenly thought of something—the inheritance here was stolen by her.

If she insist on going alone, she might end up taking the fall for it.

Although it was indeed her doing, Yun Ran clearly didn’t want to become the target of everyone’s ire.

Black Sun mingling among these people would be one of the best ways to stay hidden.
