Chapter 1216: Chapter 1212: Those Who Stand in My Way Shall Die!

Without the copper mirror’s effect, the originally spacious passage instantly revealed its ferocious true appearance.

It was clear that the Heavenly Thunder released by the Heavenly Thunder Order earlier had greatly affected this monster, making it thrash about instinctively.

However, because of the Array that was operating by relying on the Moonlight Power, that monster had never moved even a single step forward.

The Little Princess Puppet put away that broken monster tooth, and even used the clothes she had made earlier to wrap the tooth up again.

Looking at that somewhat ferocious tooth again, it didn’t seem quite so creepy anymore; if you didn’t look closely, you’d think it was some kind of gift.

When the Little Princess Puppet returned to Yun Ran’s side and saw Yun Ran’s arm, her eyes instantly grew watery.

"Master, your hand..."

"I’m fine. Stay on guard nearby. I need to rest for a bit~"

Fortunately, back then Yun Ran had risked using up all the Merit on her body to invite the ancestors down; otherwise, if she were injured now, she wouldn’t be able to heal.

Right now, the wound had slowly stopped bleeding and had faintly begun to scab over.

This bit of pain wasn’t anything unbearable for Yun Ran; she had simply not expected that her own experience was still too shallow.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have failed to anticipate such a tormenting method.

Now, thinking back again to those murals she had seen earlier, she felt that her understanding of the Divine Hall was still far too superficial.

She had no idea how defy-the-heavens the Divine Hall must have been in its truly glorious era.

Thinking about it now, the High Priest who had obtained such inheritance and controlled so much foundation, and then calculated that a thousand years later someone like her would come to stir things up, seemed almost normal.

Yun Ran closed her eyes. It looked like she was resting, but in reality she had already begun to review and link together everything that had happened during this period.

She hadn’t felt it before she thought about it; once she did, Yun Ran felt that things were even more complicated than she had imagined.

The trouble that even that High Priest had no way to resolve was likely related to the world-destroying matter Lü Wu had mentioned.

Suddenly, Yun Ran’s eyes snapped open.

If her earlier guesses were all correct, then when Lü Wu said it had experienced many cycles of reincarnation, could that also have been done by that High Priest?

The Twelve-sided Copper Mirror, the Power of Reincarnation Time that had fallen into Lü Wu’s hands, and the Divine Artifact fragment she had obtained inadvertently earlier...

Hiss!

If that was really the case, then that High Priest clearly had a chance to become an immortal!

But he had forcibly given up such a chance, and only then was there this sliver of life left now!

Those originally scattered fragments at this moment seemed to finally be strung together by a thread that looked unremarkable at first glance.

She also finally seemed to understand why, earlier, the ancestors hadn’t directly intervened but had left with the Divine Cauldron instead.

This catastrophe clearly involved matters of Divine Status; even though the ancestors had long since attained the Dao, they still could not interfere too much.

Being backlashed would be a small matter; if they weren’t careful, this already fragile space crack might even be shattered into dust.

Yun Ran let out a long breath, then took out a sheet of paper and wrote down these few crucial points.

The Little Princess Puppet didn’t quite understand why her master had said she needed to rest but was now writing these things.

Yun Ran quickly drew a diagram that only those close to her could understand.

"Keep this safe. If something suddenly happens to me, give this to Dragon Spirit and the others!"

The Little Princess Puppet was a bit puzzled, but Yun Ran had no intention of explaining it to her. Some things simply could not be clearly stated.

After finishing the drawing, Yun Ran’s body finally couldn’t hold out any longer and very quickly sank into a deep sleep.

Time passed bit by bit. When Yun Ran woke up again, the Arrays that had originally been radiating intense light had once more drawn their light back in.

Yun Ran took out a new Vestment robe, then put on the black robe over it and hung the Divine Artifact fragment on her chest.

"We should head out."

The Little Princess Puppet immediately dragged that huge monster tooth and followed after her.

When they finally reappeared on the surface, the waterfall that had originally been cut off had already begun to flow again.

Outside the waterfall, a crowd had gathered, and every face was filled with extreme caution and vigilance.

Yun Ran and they stared at each other across the waterfall; no one could see the other side’s full appearance clearly.

The Little Princess Puppet immediately hid, and along with the tooth she was carrying, vanished without a sound.

With Yun Ran’s huge target standing in front as a shield, not a single person noticed the Little Princess Puppet.

"Brazen thief, how dare you intrude into Moonlight City’s Forbidden Land!"

Yun Ran looked at the man shouting angrily at her, feeling very calm inside. She had actually thought these people would discover her a bit earlier.

She had even thought they might intercept her halfway on her way out.

She hadn’t expected these people to be just as afraid of death; aside from reactivating the waterfall, they hadn’t even dared approach the cave entrance.

In truth, Yun Ran had wronged them.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to catch Yun Ran the thief as early as possible; they couldn’t.

It wasn’t as if no one had approached before; in the end, they had turned directly into piles of white bones.

If they hadn’t personally seen Yun Ran, that black-robed figure, walk out from inside, they wouldn’t have believed that someone could actually enter this place known as the Death Forbidden Land.

Now that Yun Ran had come out alive, what they felt even more was fear, and a deep, marrow-level shudder.

But they also didn’t dare retreat; if they really died in battle here, their families behind them would still receive quite a few benefits. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Yet if they just slunk away with their tails between their legs, what awaited them would be endless trouble.

So even if they had to die, they needed to die covered in wounds to gain the greatest possible benefits.

Yun Ran glanced over these people; not a single one could withstand even one move from her.

Now that she had all the Twelve-sided Copper Mirror in her hands, she needed to hurry and find the ancestors.

Fortunately, Ginsengfruit had previously disguised itself as her; only now could she slip away perfectly without arousing anyone’s suspicion.

Once she put on the black robe, the persona was naturally different.

Yun Ran’s gaze suddenly turned vicious, and her tone also grew chillingly cold, sounding just like some demon who killed without blinking.

"Those who block me die!"

As she spoke, Yun Ran raised her hand and took out a piece of thank-you gift that old monster Yan Ming had given her before—a Magic Artifact made from some kind of unknown bone.
