Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1020 - 1016: The Pawn on the Board

Now, in the hearts of these people at the Divine Hall, their perception of the mysterious Master Yun has reached its peak.

Yun Ran doesn’t care at all what these people are thinking; she left them just to study the origin of the array left by the High Priest who predicted the calamity for humanity.

"Go, bring back the magic wand that Ginsengfruit retrieved earlier."

The Little Paperman quickly nodded and disappeared with a swoosh.

In just the blink of an eye, the Little Paperman returned, holding the magic wand that was many times its size.

"Master, could this magic wand belong to the High Priest?"

Yun Ran took the magic wand and said blandly, "Remove ’could’; there’s no need to doubt, this is definitely that guy’s thing.

Perhaps, while he predicted the human crisis, he also saw the cause and effect of all this.

Anytime human schemes and interests are involved, even iron-clad things can result in unexpected outcomes.

So, the High Priest must have had a backup plan, letting the Divine Hall decline and even become a legendary existence.

This magic wand should be a crucial part of it."

Although Yun Ran isn’t too clear about its function, she feels increasingly like all this is being manipulated by someone.

Yun Ran gently rotated the magic wand, murmuring to herself: "Divine Cauldron, Magic Wand, Power of Time Rule, fragmented Demon-Revealing Mirror..."

A previously hazy outline is gradually becoming clearer due to these items.

If the people at the Divine Hall are telling the truth, Yun Ran boldly guesses it is all the High Priest’s backup plan.

However, she is puzzled: is the High Priest truly so powerful?

Could he predict that she would appear here thousands of years later and obtain these items simultaneously?

Yun Ran does not think acquiring these items makes her the destined one; instead, she feels it’s a form of moral coercion imposed upon her, a pure big resentment.

The Little Paperman can sense the mood of its master isn’t good, so it stood quietly by.

It even thoughtfully brought tea to Yun Ran, without making a sound throughout.

"I’m fine, you go outside and keep watch for a while."

The Little Paperman nodded immediately and went out promptly.

The more Yun Ran connects with the current clues, the more she feels being brought into this world through Ginsengfruit is no coincidence.

Both she and Ginsengfruit, and even others, are part of these calculations.

To have such immense predictive ability is not something ordinary people can do, Yun Ran certainly can’t.

She can, at most, predict a person’s life plate; anything more distant or including everyone would be a pipe dream.

As she thought, Yun Ran suddenly felt anxious, a bit of sweat trickled down her forehead.

This reaction comes only after touching taboos that should not be touched.

Now, Yun Ran understood something clearly; she should have truly found some truth.

With her current ability, mobilizing such a large chessboard seems difficult, let alone the fact that she herself appears to be just a small piece on someone else’s board.

Being a piece on others’ chessboard, feeling manipulated by others, feels quite unpleasant.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Just as Yun Ran’s mind sprouted the slightest thought of resistance, she began to cough violently.

Immediately afterward, bright red blood trickled down the corner of Yun Ran’s mouth.

However, Yun Ran was unfazed, her rebellious spirit rose even higher.

Her hand gripped the magic wand tighter, with a force seemingly capable of snapping it.

The veins on her hand bulged.

Yun Ran’s other hand gently wiped away the blood from her mouth; not even the severe pain in her chest could move her.

"Ha, how dare they treat the Young Master of Qingfeng Temple like a mere pawn, the audacity, do they really think I have nobody behind me?"

She is not someone who stubbornly resists everything; those who dare use her will have to face the protective allies of Qingfeng Temple.

Yun Ran raised her hand, igniting the Merit Golden Light from her body; she is about to call allies!

A beam of golden light emerged from Yun Ran and shot directly into the sky.

No matter if they were in this spatial gap or in the original world of Yun Ran, people saw the formidable power accompanied by a world-destroying force, and many with low cultivation were severely injured upon seeing this light pillar.

Dragon Spirit, pretending to recuperate from injuries, sensed the aura belonging to Yun Ran.

Immediately, it emerged from its room; upon seeing the sky-reaching light pillar formed by the Merit Golden Light, Dragon Spirit was startled, its four dragon claws coming out.

"What the $#@&% is happening, why is Yun Ran this crazy, as if she doesn’t care for her life!"

Xuan Chu was also frightened by this earth-shaking move.

The Yun Ran he knew cherished her life very much, and now, why would she use her entire merit to open the passage to the outer domain! 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

At this moment, let alone the local Dark Masters, anyone who could see the Merit Golden Light pillar had a look of greed.

This is Merit Golden Light; even a little bit could significantly aid someone’s cultivation progress.

Now, to have something with such abundant Merit Golden Light, if they possess it, they could achieve sanctity through Merit Golden Light.

"Quick, find the owner of this Merit Golden Light; if I can obtain such abundant Merit Golden Light..."

"Many Dark Masters from elsewhere probably saw this too; we need to be quicker, others must not get this!"

...

Even without hearing the discussions of others, Dragon Spirit knew Yun Ran had really gotten into trouble.

This is akin to releasing blood into the ocean, attracting sharks by scent.

Dragon Spirit anxiously glanced at the light pillar location, lowered its eyes.

"No, I can’t let them disturb Yun Ran, although I don’t know what Yun Ran wants to do, she certainly has her reasons."

Now, he must buy time for Yun Ran; thinking this, Dragon Spirit looked at Xuan Chu and said, "I’ll soon return to my true form to attract most attention; you cooperate with me!"
