CHAPTER 397: CHAPTER 396: CLEARLY A NEMESIS!

Just as Yun Ran was about to sever the resonance between the Heavenly Thunder Order and Xie Xuzhi, she suddenly stopped her action.

Her tightly shut eyes abruptly opened, filled with disbelief.

She truly hadn’t expected that within this resonance, there was a hint of Xie Xuzhi’s vitality, and if she forcibly severed this resonance, Xie Xuzhi would immediately be doomed.

At this, Yun Ran was genuinely amused by this turn of events, thinking how plans cannot keep up with changes.

She had thought since he was the Golden Master, saving his life was worth the effort, but now, it turned out he was thoroughly tied to her!

Yun Ran’s gaze turned slightly resentful as she looked toward the sky.

She seriously suspected that the Heavenly Dao here might be biased; otherwise, the price of saving him would be too great.

Ginsengfruit, sitting in the stands, could feel the host’s deep resentment even from such a distance.

Regrettably, he had no idea what was actually happening.

Though bonded to the host, if the host chose not to let him know something, he truly wouldn’t know.

Still, Ginsengfruit quickly expressed his concern: [Host, what happened?]

At this moment, Yun Ran was in no mood to clarify for Ginsengfruit: [Nothing!]

Just then, Ginsengfruit suddenly noticed that many agitated people in the stands, after checking their phones, immediately calmed down.

This felt very odd to him; previously, these people were upset because the host had collectively broken down.

Ginsengfruit immediately stretched out his hand, and in an unseen place, a wave of invisible electromagnetic waves slowly climbed onto those people’s phones.

Soon, Ginsengfruit saw the content on those people’s phones.

Ginsengfruit was a bit dumbfounded, his small face full of great confusion.

He couldn’t help but slander internally, "Xie Xuzhi is going to be disabled? Really? Didn’t he just come back to life?"

After thinking for a while, Ginsengfruit still couldn’t understand, and directly used the system’s voice to communicate with Yun Ran.

[Host, many people have received the message that the deputy director position of Xie Xuzhi is not secure anymore, these people had all broken down before, but now they are calm as old dogs.]

Xie Xuzhi, the host’s biggest investor, if he really gets disabled, it would be troublesome for them to walk sideways in the Special Administration Bureau in the future.

Not to mention, when they establish a new sect, they are bound to face obstacles.

Already annoyed for being tricked into accepting her Lifebound Magical Artifact resonating with a stranger, Yun Ran was extremely irate, almost cursing everything.

Now, about the news concerning Xie Xuzhi, Yun Ran instinctively didn’t want to hear it. What Golden Master? He was clearly a jinx!

Her tone became rather poor: [It’s just his craftiness; if he could be so easily taken down, he shouldn’t have so many people fearing him!

It’s obvious by looking that he must be plotting something like a fisherman catching a turtle in a jar; we should stay away from such people in the future, to avoid misfortune on us!]

Ginsengfruit felt more and more that the host’s resentment was exploding, fearing that even Evil Ghosts upon seeing such a host would stay far away.

The higher-ups of the Special Administration Bureau naturally also received the news, and although they were panicking internally, they still appeared composed.

But the attitude of the people around them had changed, the tone clearly becoming more aggressive.

"Minister Zhou, Yun Ran’s current behavior isn’t quite right, is it? Where is any respect for the competition? If you continue to let her be, I have the right to suspect you of partiality and cheating!"

Minister Zhou was somewhat speechless watching the person who spoke to him.

Even if Director Xie really falls from power, it wouldn’t stop Yun Ran from winning the Leader position, so why make trouble out of nothing!

"So many people are watching. Did she violate any rules? Or did I give her any special favors to take shortcuts?

If you really think there is a problem, I suggest you can apply formally for the Big Competition Committee to make a judgment, then throw the evidence in my face!"

The person being retorted turned pale with alternating expressions.

If he had actual evidence, would he wait until now? He would have pulled Yun Ran down a long time ago!

Suddenly he became sarcastic, "Huh, I didn’t expect Minister Zhou to be quite fair and strict, huh? But sometimes, not seeing the situation clearly is the biggest mistake, maybe sometime soon, you’ll find yourself sidelined."

Minister Zhou understood the threat in those words, but he had clearly chosen to stand with Director Xie from the start, so naturally, he could only follow this path to the end.

If he dared to stab Director Xie in the back at this time, what awaited him would be more terrifying than being sidelined.

After deciding, Minister Zhou also snorted coldly: "I only know that as an official, one should govern accordingly; if it’s not your affair, meddle less!"

At this moment on the arena, Xin Fu struggled to fend off two people, his whole body radiating deep fatigue.

His gaze carried a trace of ferocity, like a young wolf.

If it hadn’t been for his many years of real combat experience, narrowly escaping death several times, he would have been very sensitive to danger, perhaps he would have been eliminated by his opponents already.

Seeing that there were still two people left, Xin Fu gritted his teeth again; just one more person to defeat, and he could secure third place.

But looking at the Magic Artifacts in the hands of the two, and then at his own sword, already full of notches, as if it could break at any moment.

He had thought he had already highly estimated these scions of the Mystical Sect, but only when he actually faced them did he realize that the Magic Artifacts they casually threw out were enough for him to strive for a lifetime.

A surge of unwillingness welled up in Xin Fu’s eyes,

Yun Ran stood up at this moment and placed her hand on Xin Fu’s shoulder: "Focus and calm!"

The resentment that had just risen in Xin Fu’s heart was immediately shattered by Yun Ran’s voice.

He suddenly came to his senses, followed by a wave of fear.

Just now, he had almost succumbed to a Heart Demon. Many Dark Masters had fallen into becoming Evil Cultivators, all because of one wrong thought.

Xin Fu suddenly broke into a cold sweat: "Thank you, Lady Yun, for your assistance!"

Yun Ran could control her Dao Heart, showing anger when she wanted, because people from Qingfeng Temple underwent special rites, and their Dao Heart was very stable.

But for others, it was hard to say, who knows if they would stray from the right path because of a bit of resentment, a bit of jealousy.

"In the process of fighting, especially in a life-and-death battle, superior Magic Artifacts and excellent practical experience are things that can increase your chances of survival.

So, don’t disturb your Dao Heart because of things you temporarily lack, whatever you lack, just strive for it."

Xin Fu understood that Yun Ran was hinting at him, normally, these pointers should be the responsibilities of the elders in their sect.

Unfortunately, his sect was too weak, instead needing his contributions.
