Chapter 101: 100 If you can’t speak, then don’t speak! (2 more updates)
"Seventh Master, Eighth Master, I am but a disciple from Qingfeng Temple, having intruded into this realm unintentionally, where I stumbled upon an evil technique that defies the Heavenly Dao. To prevent souls from suffering, I dared to open the Ghost Gate and use the Merit Golden Light to send my former fellow Taoists into the cycle of reincarnation."
Fan and Xie Ghosts could see through Yun Ran’s identity at a glance, knowing she wasn’t lying, especially when they noticed the Golden Feather of the Phoenix adorning her head, they knew this girl had strong backing.
They didn’t make things difficult for Yun Ran; they glanced at the ghosts who had been cleansed of some of their sins by the Merit Golden Light.
Then they spoke: "You paved their way with Merit, but their sins are profound. They still need to undergo the punishment of the Underworld, endure it, and then they can enter reincarnation."
Yun Ran pressed her forehead directly to the ground: "Thank you, Seventh Master, Eighth Master."
As the Merit Golden Light integrated into their beings, the cruel expressions on the faces of Nan Qing and other ghosts faded away.
Before being dragged away, they turned back to look at Yun Ran, with gratitude in their eyes, but no one saw it.
As the Ghost Gate closed, Yun Ran fainted, and the Qiankun Ring fell to the ground. The dark clouds above did not dissipate.
Yun Ran’s body was completely devoid of the Merit Golden Light, exuding an aura that Heavenly Dao despised.
A Heavenly Thunder struck down, and the Golden Feather on Yun Ran’s head suddenly enlarged, blocking the strangulation by the Heavenly Dao, then turned into specks of stardust, concealing Yun Ran’s aura, then disappeared without a trace.
Heavenly Dao suddenly couldn’t pinpoint Yun Ran’s location, became frustrated but could do nothing, so it had to retreat.
As the dark clouds dispersed, on the open ground of the villa lay many people; those on sentry around hurried in when they sensed the terrifying aura had vanished.
Looking at the people lying on the ground, they initially thought all were dead. With grief, they stepped forward to collect the bodies.
"Hey, the body is still warm."
"Mr. Gu is still breathing!"
"Master Zhongli is also alive."
...
After completing their checks, they confirmed that everyone was still alive, just unconscious; it seemed their injuries were somewhat severe.
Rong Gu, disguised as an old woman, had taken control of a driver and was taking them towards the east of the city, near where the Dragon Vein was.
Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of blood, her hair turning white in the blink of an eye.
The ghosts she had left in the villa were destroyed, and her blind eyes began to bleed again.
She also heard the sound of Heavenly Thunder, and pain, like being torn apart, began in her arms.
Rong Gu hurriedly took out a small bottle she kept close to her body; inside was the old Daoist she had encountered before, who counted as her master but also one of her last resorts.
After the Fierce Beast had swallowed the old Daoist, her trace was once again concealed.
Heavenly Dao was nearly enraged to madness, how could one after another escape under its watch, not paying it any mind at all!
The Blind Girl had been confident about sneaking into the place where the Dragon Vein was, but the backlash was quite severe, and now it seemed not easy to avoid alerting those guarding the Dragon Vein.
She was very unwilling, suddenly, she looked towards a certain direction.
...
Those stationed at Imperial Cauldron Club received notification that a car had stopped on a small road near the Dragon Vein; they cautiously approached, only to find the driver who had long stopped breathing.
And Rong Gu had long since disappeared without a trace, not even leaving the slightest clue behind.
No one knew that at this moment, Rong Gu was comfortably sitting in an RV, peacefully leaving Hai City.
Director Xie’s lips were tightly pursed as he coldly looked at the people he had ’invited’ here.
They knew themselves that among them was definitely a mole; this suspicion felt like a slap in their faces.
One of them could no longer stand the atmosphere and suddenly stood up, slamming the table and yelling at his former comrades: "Damn it, who is the mole? Stand up now!"
"Our Hai City Branch has completely lost face this time, our subordinates fought tooth and nail, yet someone slipped away right under our noses. I’m ashamed to lead them now!"
"It’s really just one rotten apple that spoils the whole barrel. If I catch who it is, I swear I’ll skin them myself!"
...
After the commotion below had subsided, Xie Xuzhi finally spoke calmly: "I’m giving you three days to investigate yourselves. If the mole isn’t found by then, everyone present today will be suspended!"
He didn’t care about wrongful accusations; in his eyes, anyone under suspicion should be removed from their duties.
He wanted to see whether some people bribing others was faster or his changing of personnel was quicker.
After Xie Xuzhi left the meeting room, the previously noisy crowd now wished they could tear the mole apart.
Xie Xuzhi’s decisive approach left them feeling suffocated, but unable to plead for themselves.
Gu Yuan woke up just one day later, and the rest of the people gradually came to within one or two days as well.
Xie Xuzhi knew that the greatest credit for dealing with the ghosts this time was due to Yun Ran.
Upon knowing that Yun Ran could open the Ghost Gate, he immediately issued a gag order and, using his authority as the Young Master of the Xie Family, imposed a gag order on all the families involved as well.
Apart from themselves, no one knew the specifics of this mission, and even the stored files could only be accessed by Xie Xuzhi.
Yun Ran had been in a coma all along. At first, everyone thought it was normal, given Yun Ran’s severe injuries.
But after Yun Ran had been comatose for a week, people started to suspect something was wrong.
Gu Yuan was scared and hurriedly called Uncle Gu.
"Uncle, is Yun Ran too severely hurt and about to die?"
Uncle Gu glared at Gu Yuan: "If you can’t speak properly, don’t speak at all!"
Xie Xuzhi also looked disdainfully at Gu Yuan, as if he were something superfluous.
Gu Yuan felt wronged, but could only silently stand in the corner, bearing all the ’malice’ alone. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Uncle Gu checked Yun Ran very carefully; there were only external injuries, so why hadn’t Yun Ran woken up? This also puzzled him.
"Old Sir Gu, how is she?"
Uncle Gu shook his head, then turned to Gu Yuan: "Little Yuan, go invite Master Zhongli here."
As Gu Yuan was about to go out to find someone, he opened the door and saw Zhongli Yuanjing already standing at the doorstep.
Previously, Zhongli Yuanjing didn’t think highly of Yun Ran, considering those shunned by Heavenly Dao to be people of no consequence.
Now, his presence here was somewhat unexpected to Uncle Gu.
"I came to take a look."
Uncle Gu, not one to make things awkward, stepped aside: "Just about to invite you here."
