Chapter 1246: Chapter 1242: Not Even Worthy to Look Up To

"Yes, when we were gathering earlier, he suddenly appeared, saying that his relatives had also been captured by the people from the Dark Hall. That’s why we traveled together."

"We received news that a team from the Dark Hall was passing by. We only intended to ambush them, but we didn’t expect that you, Lord Divine Envoy, were also present."

"If we had known you were here, even if we were given a thousand courage, we wouldn’t dare to ambush."

...

Yun Ran listened as these people eagerly explained the whole sequence of events, afraid that if they spoke slowly, the opportunity would pass to someone else.

The subordinates witnessed the scene before them, and their reverence for Yun Ran grew even deeper.

Previously, their reverence stemmed more from fear of Yun Ran’s identity, but now it was because of Yun Ran herself.

Strength, status, wealth, cunning—everything was top-notch. They felt they weren’t even worthy of looking up to such a person.

Yun Ran was unaware of the psychological changes in these people around her, seeing only disappointment in her eyes at the absence of the information she sought.

It seemed she had to rely on herself to find out the identity of that variable, and suddenly she lost interest in lingering here.

"Distribute the medicine to them, and what’s left is yours. Also, release them tomorrow."

The subordinates nodded quickly upon hearing these words.

At this moment, not to mention releasing the people in the dungeon, even if they were asked to stab themselves twice, they would have no doubt about it.

Yun Ran stepped out of the dungeon, looking at the moonlight and stars in the sky, much brighter than the world a thousand years later.

Suddenly, she had the urge to go and see the altar.

Along the way, even when she encountered patrolling people, as soon as they saw the black robe Yun Ran was wearing, no one dared to step forward to stop her.

Even places that were forbidden to many people, Yun Ran, dressed in a black robe, could pass through unimpeded.

At this moment, Yun Ran deeply experienced how useful the identity of Lord Divine Envoy was.

Not only did it prevent these people from having any suspicion, but her power seemed to be infinitely large.

Yun Ran quickly arrived at the altar. There were many arrays in the vicinity. For those who didn’t understand, it would be easy to fall into a trap.

Yun Ran had learned quite a bit about the methods of these Black Robed People, as the Special Administration Bureau had collected everything from the Underground Palace near Death Mountain.

Xie Xuzhi had even sorted through their books, and Yun Ran ’coincidentally’ saw the complete version before these materials entered the classified files.

The arrays in front of her were very similar to the information from Death Mountain.

This made Yun Ran have to believe that whether it was the Black Robed People hiding over at Death Mountain causing trouble or those existing in this Illusion, they should be of the same faction.

It was just due to history or time that they were scattered in different spatial areas.

Just like how the real Qingfeng Temple doesn’t exist in this world within the book.

But because there is a branch here with her, the Young Master of Qingfeng Temple, there is also a presence of Qingfeng Temple in this world.

Heritage, legacy, they are all the same.

Perhaps many, many years later, Yun Ran would have already disappeared in the long river of history.

Someone may also, by chance, appear in this world within the book just like her.

At that time, that person would also feel that the Qingfeng Temple in this book world is so similar to the one they have seen.

As Yun Ran stepped onto the first step of the altar’s array, the altar’s array was immediately activated.

Someone was cautiously spying from the shadows, not daring to question Yun Ran’s movements.

But, as long as one is human, curiosity is inevitable.

They also wanted to know why the Lord Divine Envoy suddenly came to this altar.

During the day, this Lord Divine Envoy had indeed punished quite a few people by making them kneel for an entire day.

At this moment, seeing the array light up, those spying in the shadows, some of them immediately started breathing heavier, almost unable to hide themselves.

Someone beside them quickly covered that person’s nose, their eyes carrying a hint of fear.

These people, don’t mind if they seem quite imposing usually, but everyone who enters this stronghold, their life and death are at their mercy.

However, when truly facing someone like the Lord Divine Envoy, their lives are even less than a dog’s.

Whatever the Lord Divine Envoy wanted to do, they could only watch.

But if they made any noise and disturbed the Lord Divine Envoy, they truly would lose their lives.

There had been captives in the past pretending to be submissive, and when being led up to the altar, suddenly erupting in an attempt for mutual destruction.

But ultimately, those wishful captives all perished under the altar’s array.

At this moment, seeing the array suddenly light up, one can’t blame these spies for being so surprised.

However, the imagined scene where the array would attack did not occur, and Yun Ran calmly continued forward step by step.

The arrays, one by one, all got activated, but these arrays did not attack Yun Ran.

Instead, it was as if they were welcoming a ’VIP’, activating in sequence, with all attacks suspended.

Now, it wasn’t just one person who was surprised, all the spies couldn’t help but gasp.

Wasn’t it said that once the array was activated, it wouldn’t stop without seeing blood?

So all the fierce battles and bloodshed they had witnessed before were just tailored to the individual!

No one noticed that Yun Ran casually held a seemingly golden but not golden Magic Artifact in her hand.

If the Dragon Spirit were here, they would surely recognize it.

Wasn’t this the same Magic Artifact he had dug out from those pillars in the Underground Palace by Death Mountain?

"Unexpectedly, this thing is also useful here."

Yun Ran walked up to the altar, step by step, until she reached the center.

There was no longer any scent of blood here, not even the crimson marks that should have remained had completely vanished.

Yun Ran tried to probe if there were any resentful spirits or residual souls nearby.

After several attempts, there was nothing here, it was unbelievably clean.

If not for witnessing the sacrificial scene before, few would believe this seemingly clean place was once so bloody.

"Is this what they call the power of the gods?"

Yun Ran sneered, then memorized all the totems on the altar before leisurely walking back.

If this were the real world, even if Yun Ran had to exert all her strength, she would destroy the altar.

Unfortunately, this is just an illusion, and everything here occurred in the past.

Even as the Young Master of Qingfeng Temple, she couldn’t change what had already happened.
