Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Chapter 1296: Chapter 1292: Mo Zhi Falls into an Illusion

The moonlight was eerie. Yun Ran sighed slightly and finally took out the Young Master’s Seal belonging to Qingfeng Temple.

Although her strength has increased significantly now, facing the Heavenly Book Fragment, something that defies the heavens, no amount of protective measures and caution could be too much.

The palm-sized seal exuded an ancient and heavy atmosphere, making it clear at a glance that it was no ordinary item.

Yun Ran cut open her palm, and drops of blood fell onto the seal, instantly causing it to emit a bright light, which quickly vanished.

At that moment, the totem on the seal began to reveal itself. With the naked eye, it even seemed as if the totem had come alive, slowly moving.

Correspondingly, the hidden prohibitions on Yun Ran’s body also lit up simultaneously, echoing with the totem on the Young Master’s Seal of Qingfeng Temple.

Yun Ran did not stop, reaching out to take out her Lifebound Magical Artifact, the Heavenly Thunder Order.

In an instant, the Heavenly Thunder Order was fully activated. Numerous Heavenly Thunder Flowers as thick as a baby’s arm intertwined around it.

Thus, Yun Ran’s protective measures were completed.

After setting everything up, Yun Ran’s gaze returned to the Heavenly Book Fragment.

Both the Young Master’s Seal and the prohibitions of Qingfeng Temple were activated at the same time. Unless there was a force capable of destroying the entire Qingfeng Temple, no power could erode her Divine Soul from the outside.

Meanwhile, the presence of the Heavenly Thunder Order firmly safeguarded her against the possible emergence of a Heart Demon; should the Heart Demon dare appear, it would be immediately struck down.

Now, no matter what happens, Yun Ran doesn’t have to worry about falling victim.

Having done all this, Yun Ran tentatively released a bit of her power onto the Heavenly Book Fragment.

Initially, the Heavenly Book Fragment showed no reaction until Yun Ran’s power slowly accumulated, and several patterns on the fragment suddenly came to life.

This situation was within Yun Ran’s expectations, so she didn’t pay much attention to it.

’Buzz!!!’

A sound like metal being vibrated suddenly exploded in Yun Ran’s brain.

Yun Ran didn’t even have time to investigate the source of this sound. Her brain, however, became extraordinarily clear.

Memories of those somewhat familiar patterns she had seen before surfaced clearly.

Yun Ran: ...

This feeling, akin to being newly enlightened, felt very strange to Yun Ran, and more unfamiliar memories began flooding into her mind.

If not for the Young Master’s Seal and prohibitions of Qingfeng Temple being present, Yun Ran would have suspected she was being possessed, as otherwise, how could so many memories suddenly appear out of thin air?

Countless chaotic thoughts filled with slaughter and despair all drilled into her mind at once.

"Ugh..."

Yun Ran closed her eyes in pain, leaving a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

By now, about fifty percent of the patterns on the Heavenly Book Fragment were activated.

The beast hide bearing these patterns simultaneously crumbled into powder.

Time ticked by as Yun Ran struggled to digest the memories flooding into her mind.

In this empty cave, no one saw the numerous black smoke tendrils emanate from Yun Ran’s body as she absorbed the Slaughter Qi within those memories.

From a distance, it seemed as though Yun Ran was becoming demonized.

If a stubborn, inflexible Defender were to appear now, Yun Ran would surely become their number one target for elimination.

Seeing a hint of black blood spill from the corner of Yun Ran’s mouth, her face alternately displayed various expressions.

In this instant, the Heavenly Thunder Order seemed to trigger a special command, and a bolt of thunder the size of a bowl fell directly onto Yun Ran’s head.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Thunder Order was Yun Ran’s Lifebound Magical Artifact, and she herself primarily practiced Thunder Element magic, otherwise Yun Ran would have turned into a charred corpse.

As the Heavenly Thunder struck, the faint dark hue on Yun Ran’s face was immediately dispersed.

And the once tranquil and harmless moonlight seemed to sense something amiss as the prior Power of Purification began to surround Yun Ran.

More accurately, it surrounded the black aura around Yun Ran.

Nearby, there appeared to be an invisible black hole persistently devouring the unpleasant aura emanating from Yun Ran.

Elsewhere, Mo Zhi crouched at the cave entrance, occasionally looking towards the depths of the cave, his face filled with anxiety.

Someone once said that waiting felt like an eternity, and Mo Zhi thought those people were exaggerating.

Now, she felt like it was not just a day, but each second dragged on.

She desperately wanted to go in and see what was happening inside, but without the master’s orders, she dared not act rashly, and could only wait here silently.

"Ah, if only Huaiyi True Master were here, Master wouldn’t have any problems with him around."

In Mo Zhi’s heart, only Huaiyi True Master (Junior Master) could provide Yun Ran with the ultimate backup.

Seeing the sky gradually brighten, indicating that dawn was not far off.

As sunlight slowly spilled over the cave entrance, Mo Zhi, though a Ghost Cultivator, dared not face it directly and had to move elsewhere.

Luckily, this location is far enough from any inhabited area, otherwise Mo Zhi worried the events here would quickly be discovered by others.

Mo Zhi at this moment could only fret while taking out the small grass that had previously been purified by Moonlight Power.

’Hiss–’

The grass had lost its former vitality but retained its allure, still awakening Mo Zhi’s cravings.

Mo Zhi looked around again, confirming that there wasn’t a single living person within dozens of miles, though other living creatures were present.

But Mo Zhi could confirm those creatures wouldn’t venture this way.

The wilted grass had lost its previous arrogance, lying quietly in Mo Zhi’s hand.

"It seems quite appetizing; maybe I can just take a small bite?"

Seeing Mo Zhi trying to reach for a leaf of the wilted grass, a burning pain suddenly flared up on her wrist.

"Ow!"

The intense pain instantly awakened Mo Zhi, but the scene before her left her stunned.

Outside the cave, everything was still enveloped in the starlit night, yet her position had shifted ten meters from where she previously stood.

It turned out the daylight she ’witnessed’ and the sun rising were mere illusions, designed to prompt her to move away from the sunlit spot.
