Chapter 466: Chapter 465: Found Where the Sealing Was Broken (Second Update)
"I suspect that there might have been some error in the information we received earlier. Something seems to be wrong with Xu Wen as well.
But the strange thing is, my Little Paperman didn’t detect even a trace of the Evil God’s aura on Xu Wen."
Yun Ran’s fortune-telling skills are well-known to Xuan Chu, and with such a result, the situation is indeed troubling.
Already a complicated situation, with yet another unstable factor added, Xuan Chu, being already deeply involved, naturally couldn’t just stand by.
"I’ll try the secret technique of Heavenly Dao Village to see if I can deduce what’s wrong with him."
While Xuan Chu was calculating the Life Chart for Xu Wen and Zhu Qing, Yun Ran took another look around.
The information returned by the Little Paperman said that Xu Wen was fine initially, at least at first glance, he seemed normal.
But when Elder Gong mentioned she had arrived at the Chaotic Stone Pile, Xu Wen suddenly acted violently and ruthlessly, as if he had become another person.
If this Chaotic Stone Pile has no secret, even ghosts wouldn’t believe it!
But they had checked the place before, and neither she nor Xuan Chu should have missed anything.
With a thought, Yun Ran directly spoke to the Ginsengfruit: [Scan the surrounding area!]
Although the Ginsengfruit had a body, its consciousness had not fully transferred into that body.
No matter the distance from Yun Ran, the Ginsengfruit could still assist Yun Ran remotely when needed.
[Host, leave it to me.]
The Ginsengfruit carefully scanned the surroundings and quickly found something amiss.
[Host, there’s something wrong with the air fluctuations southeast of you!]
Yun Ran looked in the direction the Ginsengfruit mentioned, blinking several times, embarrassed to admit she didn’t see anything.
Knowing the Ginsengfruit was reliable, Yun Ran decided to check again.
However, after moving back and forth several times, she didn’t find anything unusual.
The Ginsengfruit grew anxious: [Host, I definitely didn’t make a mistake, there’s indeed an issue with the air fluctuations here!]
Yun Ran pondered for a while, speculating on the possible causes, then took out the Jade Token containing Mo Zhi.
"Come out."
As Yun Ran’s voice fell, Mo Zhi emerged from the Jade Token.
Seeing the surroundings, Mo Zhi trembled slightly. Even a Ghost General like her felt apprehensive about the atmosphere here.
"Mas... Master..."
They say ’timid ghost,’ and at this moment, Yun Ran truly felt Mo Zhi perfectly embodied the phrase.
"Help me see if there’s anything unusual here."
To Mo Zhi, nothing was normal in this place; everything was dangerous, but she feared no danger if she could help Yun Ran.
Mo Zhi wandered around, her initially frightened face now full of excitement: "Master, can I cultivate here?"
Yun Ran knew that the dense Death Energy here was naturally a good place for Mo Zhi, a Ghost General.
But there was also spreading Evil Energy here. Let alone humans, even a Ghost General would find it overwhelming.
"Aren’t you afraid of the Evil Energy here?"
Mo Zhi clearly didn’t realize the meaning in Yun Ran’s words and hastily pointed to where Yun Ran stood.
"It’s okay, Master; the Evil Energy is coming from the spot where you’re standing. Just avoid that area."
Yun Ran immediately understood what the Ginsengfruit meant by saying the air fluctuations were unusual here.
Xuan Chu finally completed the calculation of Xu Wen’s Life Plate at this time.
But his face was quite pale, indicating that the secret technique of Heavenly Dao Village was not something that could be used casually.
Just as he was about to share his results with Yun Ran, he saw Yun Ran standing afar on an open space, pacing back and forth.
Beside her was a powerful Evil Ghost, but strangely, the ghost carried Yun Ran’s aura, and more oddly, it had Merit.
Factors that should not coexist did, yet because of Yun Ran, Xuan Chu felt everything was reasonable.
He stood up, dusted off himself, and walked towards Yun Ran.
"What did you find?"
Yun Ran pointed ahead: "I think I found the place where the sealing was broken."
Xuan Chu took a close look, uh, found nothing wrong, but he knew Yun Ran wouldn’t speak without basis, so he quietly waited for her explanation.
"Let me introduce, this is the Ghost General Mo Zhi who is temporarily following me.
The messages from the Little Paperman convinced me that we had definitely missed something before, but after inspecting countless times, I found no issue.
Then I realized that this sealing, which had been damaged, could last a thousand years; the solidity here surpassed our imagination.
The leaked Evil Energy, which we detected, must naturally be minuscule..."
Yun Ran hadn’t finished speaking, but Xuan Chu already understood her meaning.
Some subtle changes are undetectable by humans, much like how some sounds are audible to animals but not humans.
Xuan Chu glanced at Mo Zhi, who had curled into a ball hiding from him.
Yun Ran’s wit in using a ghost to investigate, her talent, her ability, matched exactly what he sought in a disciple of his dreams.
However, Yun Ran could never be his disciple, which made Xuan Chu look at Yun Ran with a slight sense of regret.
Yun Ran had no idea what Xuan Chu regretted. Knowing he understood her meaning, she didn’t say more.
Instead, she directly asked about Xu Wen: "Have you finished the calculation?"
Xuan Chu suppressed his small sense of regret and said: "Yes, calculated. Xu Wen, exceptionally talented, not beneath us.
He has a good background, highly valued by his family, with resources poured into his development, even acquiring the essence of Fire Techniques.
His potential was boundless, but while calculating his Life Plate,
I saw his Life Chart forcibly torn and stolen when he was thirty, thus creating the blank you calculated.
The current outcome is man-made and also a result of his own character. The one who harmed him must have known him well to strike so accurately.
A prodigy like him, long destroyed while watching those around him meet bad ends, becoming an accomplice himself.
He stepped perfectly into every trap set for him, and if not for his deep cultivation, he would have been devoured by the Heart Demon born of Evil God’s corruption..."
Xuan Chu couldn’t help but think, similarly, Yun Ran also had her Life Chart stolen and rejected by the Heavenly Dao despite her astounding talent.
Yet it seemed Yun Ran would not meet Xu Wen’s fate.
