Yun Ran did not know that by rely acting pitiful, she could actually snag a batch of funding.
Suddenly her eyes glead with delight, and then she pressed Ginsengfruit’s head down and gave Xie Xuzhi a ninety-degree bow.
"Director Xie, so generous!"
Ginsengfruit did not want to show weakness either, his voice carrying a hint of childishness: "Thank you, Director Xie, for aiding both my master and ."
Yun Ran: ...
Actually, there was really no need to exaggerate to that extent, even using the term "aid" had co out.
Xie Xuzhi was sowhat at a loss for words, pausing for several seconds before squeezing out a sentence: "Indeed, you are the person chosen by your master; you share a bit of her grace."
Yun Ran pretended not to understand the hidden aning in Xie Xuzhi’s words, while Ginsengfruit wasn’t truly a little kid, and imdiately lowered his head to continue peeling walnuts.
The Host had warned him before that Xie Xuzhi was a man of ticulous thoughts and that they must not let him notice anything.
It wasn’t good to just stand there all dumbstruck, acting like a block of wood; better to find sothing to do. Peeling walnuts for the Host was most appropriate.
For those within the Array, at this mont, they were truly in a bad state.
They had thought that these Tomb Guardian Beasts could be trapped; even if mighty, they wouldn’t be too difficult to handle.
Now, they really wished they could slap themselves for their previous carelessness; this wasn’t just mighty, this was far beyond their imagination.
This was still under the condition that they hadn’t fully broken through the earth; if they all got out, the people here wishing to co out unscathed would be dreaming.
The group led by Elder Gong, who had initially been holding back a bit, now looked toward Xie Xuzhi’s n with an urgent tone.
"Before they break through the earth, we need to suppress at least half of their strength. Everyone, unleash your ultimate moves!"
Those who could be heavily relied upon by Xie Xuzhi, being given the opportunity to co here for training, these people naturally had real skills.
With the iron-clad rules of the Special Administration Bureau in front and Director Xie watching from outside the light shield, they didn’t have to worry about being secretly attacked.
The leader wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and nodded: "Alright!"
Everyone unleashed their ultimate moves.
’Bang’ ’Bang’ ’Bang’
Several consecutive loud explosions, and the small hill was leveled by their attacks.
A huge stone carving of Xuanwu the size of a five-tonne truck was flipped over on the ground.
The people from the Special Administration Bureau were also blown away by this powerful force, then heavily crashed to the ground, starting to vomit blood.
The brightness of the Array’s light shield dimd significantly, trembling even more violently, but fortunately, there was no sign of cracking.
Yun Ran, standing outside, turned pale and also spat out a mouthful of blood after the light shield was impacted by the strong force.
Yun Ran wiped the blood with her sleeve, then took out a bottle of Blood Nourishing and Qi Replenishing Pills and swallowed the whole bottle, followed by a few sips of Spiritual Liquid given to her by Master Jiechen.
Only then did she quell the fiery pain in her chest.
Her eyes then fixed on the people inside the light shield of the Array as if bearing knives.
She cursed out loud: "Are you sick? Really think this shield is invulnerable, acting recklessly inside, trying to burst to death?!"
Ginsengfruit, seeing Yun Ran was also shaken and injured, wore a face full of worry.
"Master, are you alright~"
Yun Ran covered her chest, her tone still annoyed: "I won’t die, but it hurts like hell."
This was the first ti Xie Xuzhi had seen Yun Ran so close up being injured, not sure if it was because he had grown sowhat acquainted with Yun Ran.
Seeing Yun Ran in a sowhat disheveled state now, he actually felt a tinge of panic, as if with a blink of an eye, Yun Ran might die right in front of him.
Xie Xuzhi, who knew from a young age that he wouldn’t live long, always viewed life and death with indifference.
But at this mont, his hands were slightly trembling. Could it be that he was actually so afraid of death?
However, he didn’t have ti to be concerned about Yun Ran.
Outside the light barrier, soone suddenly approached.
Those protecting Xie Xuzhi imdiately ford a line. Yun Ran was injured, Director Xie was naturally fragile, plus a good-for-nothing who only knew hand-to-hand combat and a little squirt.
Their pressure suddenly surged.
Wan Ji did not have the sensitive perception of the Special Administration Bureau’s people, but he could sense killing intent and quickly drew his gun, aiming in the direction it ca from.
Yun Ran also looked towards the distance, unable to see clearly how many people there were, only feeling masses of Yin Sha Qi approaching.
The Special Administration Bureau’s people felt it too, and their expressions instantly worsened.
This was a tomb area. Even though it was a feng shui treasure land, after so many years, it had also accumulated a lot of yin energy.
Not to ntion that all those Tomb Guardian Beasts were nourished by yin energy.
To the Tomb Guardian Beasts, this Yin Sha Qi was a great tonic, and their ’power bank’.
Elder Gong and the others had expended a lot of effort, risking severe losses to temporarily suppress the Tomb Guardian Beast.
"We absolutely can’t let the Tomb Guardian Beast co into contact with this Yin Sha Qi, otherwise, all our efforts will be wasted!"
Those protecting Xie Xuzhi looked solemnly into the distance, never before had they felt so lacking in confidence.
Yun Ran waved his hand, and dozens of Little Paperman flew out, with Mo Zhi also standing in front of Yun Ran.
"Go and swallow up all this Yin Sha Qi!"
Following Yun Ran’s command, the Little Papern and Mo Zhi charged out like untad wild horses.
The overwhelming Yin Sha Qi, which had spread all over, intending to consu the area.
Wherever this Yin Sha Qi covered, all the plants withered.
But Little Paperman and Mo Zhi simply opened their mouths to fiercely suck in the Yin Sha Qi, which visibly decreased at a rapid pace.
Xie Xuzhi watched this scene dumbfoundedly: "Is this the Yin Sha Qi that you said requires a brush with death nine tis out of ten to clear?"
Yun Ran imdiately felt displeased: "Just say it, have I cleared it or not? Isn’t it a brush with death for other people to complete such a task?
You can’t deny my achievents just because I’m good at utilizing ’tools’.
I seriously suspect that you want to use this opportunity to increase my workload but not my salary, you cold-hearted capitalist!!!"
Xie Xuzhi: ...
"It was just a question."
"Hmph, I’ll tell you, I get paid by the piece, haven’t you seen I’ve employed more than a dozen Little Papern and a Ghost General?
Doesn’t it take effort to maintain them? Receiving only one paynt from you, consider yourself lucky!"
The defiant Yun Ran, who was good at deflecting bla and making a fuss, was now righteously indignant. Others might not manage, but that’s none of her concern!
The Yin Sha Qi was quickly cleared away by the Little Papern and Mo Zhi.
Those Black Robed People hiding behind the Yin Sha Qi now had nowhere to hide.
"How co it’s these people again?"
They had encountered them many tis before, but sadly, they had never been able to find out their true identities.
It wasn’t that the Special Administration Bureau’s people were incompetent; it was that these people were protected by Prohibition, making it impossible to glean more information.
