Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1100 - 1096

When Daoist Changshan finally understood what had happened, a fleeting confusion flashed across his face.

Inside, he suddenly recalled the matters Lord Divine Envoy had entrusted to him.

Daoist Changshan instinctively swallowed, feeling inexplicably guilty.

He feared that the culprit behind this entire situation might be Lord Divine Envoy.

Although he had resolutely carried out Yun Ran’s orders, his heart harbored a sliver of fortune.

He thought that even if something major occurred, it wouldn’t lead to any substantial upheaval.

Thus, he sought out those who owed him favors, instructing them to do as he asked without question.

But now, Daoist Changshan realized belatedly that he seemed to have been involved in an extraordinary matter.

Nonetheless, Daoist Changshan wouldn’t take all the blame upon himself voluntarily.

Even if there were no evidence proving it was Lord Divine Envoy’s doing, even if there were evidence, he would firmly distance himself.

Daoist Changshan immediately turned his stern face toward the person speaking: "Why are you looking at me? Are you suggesting I did this!"

Indeed, compared to those unaware ordinary citizens, these mystics were quicker to notice the issue.

Moreover, they had tested it and discovered that the entirety of Lotus City seemed to be locked down, making it impossible for them to leave.

What alarmed them even more was that such an incident had occurred in a small town many years ago.

The final result was that everyone in the town perished.

They were able to learn of this information because a mystic was resting in the town at the time.

After experiencing such an ordeal, watching people around him die as their blood essences were drained,

that mystic realized that he probably wouldn’t survive, so he made a last-ditch effort to record what had happened briefly.

This event later became a secret within the Xuan Master World, known only to a few.

And in the vicinity of that town, no life could survive for many years thereafter.

To avoid panic, the Xuan Master Association claimed that the town suffered an evil attack, which was why that situation occurred.

Subsequently, killing those evils became more severe, sparing not even newly transformed plants and creatures.

Although Daoist Changshan had some connections, he belonged to the loose cultivator category.

He was naturally unaware of these secrets hidden by the Xuan Master Association.

At this moment, Daoist Changshan thought they had come to him because they suspected that the talismans he had people help paste caused all this.

The Xuan Master Association people didn’t know that Daoist Changshan had misunderstood.

Both sides, due to differing interpretations of the same matter, created a somewhat tense atmosphere.

The Xuan Master Association members, noticing Daoist Changshan’s displeased expression, realized their attitude was part of the problem.

According to those secret records, once such a locked-in situation occurs, sunlight cannot penetrate, and those trapped inside cannot escape.

Lives trapped within, whether humans, animals, or plants, have no path to survival.

However, a considerable amount of time had passed, and apart from being trapped, there had been no reported casualties. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

This puzzled the Xuan Sect Association people greatly.

It wasn’t until those talisman papers, which had been posted at every street corner and then vanished, reappeared.

Someone, with itchy hands, tried to tear them down but found they couldn’t budge them at all.

Inability to tear them down was one thing, but more bizarre was the fact that the talisman papers felt as if they were engraved, not pasted.

They were entirely immovable.

This discovery immediately alerted the mystics to something noteworthy.

Soon, this matter was reported upwards.

The young ones who had previously investigated Zhou Family Lane were the first to go over and check.

Naturally, they confirmed that the patterns on those talisman papers were identical to the ones left by that renowned figure long ago.

Even more potent in prowess.

After comparing notes, the Xuan Master Association found the people who had helped Daoist Changshan paste the talisman papers the day before.

At this point, if those mystics still didn’t realize someone had preemptively noticed the anomaly and assisted them, they would indeed be fools.

Ultimately, they sought out Daoist Changshan.

Daoist Changshan maintained a stern demeanor, giving no hint of the guilty conscience he originally felt.

Upon hearing all explanations,

Daoist Changshan breathed a huge sigh of relief. Heaven knew that he was almost convinced he had to shoulder the blame.

"Fellow Daoist, I know this is rather presumptuous, but given the dire situation, could you introduce that esteemed expert?"

Don’t ask why the person was so convinced that it was the expert behind Daoist Changshan who drew those talisman papers and not Daoist Changshan himself.

Assume the person drawing so many high-level talismans must be of considerable age, not someone as young.

Daoist Changshan pursed his lips; he too wished to know where Lord Divine Envoy was.

However, is he qualified to know?

Previously, he had nearly been killed by other Divine Envoys; surviving was already a miracle.

Now, not to mention that he had no idea where Lord Divine Envoy was; even if he did, he wouldn’t dare make an introduction.

That was Lord Divine Envoy, untraceable and ghostly, summoned only, never contacted proactively.

After careful consideration of his words,

Daoist Changshan finally said, "It’s not that I’m unwilling to introduce him, it’s just that the esteemed expert has already left."

Daoist Changshan felt he wasn’t lying with this statement.

After all, he truly hadn’t seen Lord Divine Envoy; at the time, it was a Puppet Magical Artifact of Lord Divine Envoy that brought the talisman papers.

Moreover, it was brought in a cheap net bag; if anyone else saw it, would they believe those were high-level talisman papers?

The approaching mystics felt a tinge of regret upon hearing this.

"If...without that esteemed expert, we fear...

What we are afraid of, we cannot say clearly; we simply know this time the danger is real.

"Fellow Daoist, why don’t you try contacting that esteemed expert? He might not have gone far.

Previously, he was willing to leave these talisman papers, indicating he was willing to offer Lotus Chen some help.

Without those talisman papers, according to the secret data, at least half of Lotus City’s populace would be dead by now."

Daoist Changshan heard this and inexplicably felt a bit annoyed; wasn’t this making things difficult!
