The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 100 The Gates of Hell, Open!

Without hesitation, Uncle Gu cut his own palm and began to set up the formation with his own blood.

When Zhongli Yuanjing looked at those ghosts, his eyes darkened, realizing that these ghosts were probably very close to being finished.

He didn't hold back either; he cut his own arm and injected his blood into the magical artifact, making the light emitted by the artifact even brighter.

The others also unleashed their best skills, determined to prevent these creatures from harming others, even if it meant dying here today.

"If these ghosts escape, they will desperately devour other living beings to grow stronger. Yun Ran, although you are not a staff member of the Special Administration Bureau, I hope you..."

Gu Yuan didn't say the rest, but Yun Ran understood what she meant: she was telling her not to be afraid of death and that it would be best to perish together with these ghosts.

If it were any other time, Yunran would have cursed at such words. Who would be so kind as to advise someone to go and die?

Given the current situation, everyone else present is probably prepared to die here, so she shouldn't provoke them.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. No matter what, I'm a member of the Xuanmen sect."

Gu Yuan felt somewhat guilty, but there was nothing he could do. As members of the Xuanmen sect and even as official staff, they could not shirk their responsibilities.

Yunran was also quite curious about how these ghosts managed to deceive the existence of the Heavenly Dao, and even the heavenly lightning had a limited effect on them.

If only she could gain some inspiration from this, so that Heaven wouldn't keep watching her and bring her bad luck from time to time.

Uncle Gu and his men's methods were truly impressive; the chilling chewing sound finally disappeared.

However, they were able to get a clear look at the ghostly creature inside the jar; it was a pitch-black mass.

However, soon, apart from a few old men and Yun Ran, the rest of the people lost all resistance upon hearing the ghost's cries, and became completely dazed.

"Damn it! They still retain some of the consciousness of mystical techniques!"

Dealing with intelligent ghosts is already difficult enough, but now these ghosts even possess mystical abilities, which is not good news for the Special Administration Bureau.

Yun Ran released all the talismans she had previously used to absorb the heavenly lightning, cutting her palm in the process, and then quickly formed hand seals.

"break!"

With a "bang," the black ghostly energy surrounding those ghosts was completely shattered by Yun Ran's talisman and the spell she used to enhance with her blood essence.

The ghosts revealed their forms, but Yunran was thrown away by the impact and crashed heavily to the ground.

If it weren't for the little paper doll protecting her, she would definitely have broken her bone. But the pain in her buttocks still made her recover for a while before she could stand up.

Zhongli Yuanjing, who initially looked down on Yunran, was surprised to see that Yunran had actually broken through the protective barriers on these ghosts.

His eyes were filled with shock. He never expected that someone rejected by the Heavenly Dao could have such cultivation.

Those who had lost themselves before were also thrown off balance by this shock, but they were hit much harder. Fortunately, they came to their senses.

Gu Yuan looked at Yun Ran, who was rubbing her buttocks, and then at the ghosts that had revealed their true forms. He roughly guessed what Yun Ran had done.

"Hey, isn't this Fellow Daoist Nan Qing?"

Uncle Gu looked at the speaker: "Among these ghosts, are there any you know?"

The speaker's elder also looked over: "You brat, why aren't you speaking yet!"

The man with two broken ribs, seeing that all the elders were looking at him, grinned and answered, "Ten years ago when I went to the Northwest, I met Fellow Daoist Nanqing. He was a warm-hearted person who liked to stand up for the weak. Back then, his cultivation was far superior to mine. I left him a letter of recommendation, hoping to invite him to join our Special Administration Bureau."

But he never came to see me. I thought he just didn't like being controlled. I never imagined he'd been murdered.

The Nanqing of yesteryear always had a smile on his face, but now seeing his sinister expression made the man speaking feel very uncomfortable.

The crowd looked at the other ghosts that had revealed their true forms, even though they didn't recognize them.

However, those present had already guessed that these ghosts must have been exceptionally talented in life, otherwise they wouldn't have survived until now.

Even though they had witnessed all sorts of tragedies, they were still very saddened at this moment.

Putting ourselves in their shoes, if they were murdered and made to look like this, even if they retained some of their senses, they would still be unable to help but harm others. How painful that would be.

Even without considering the karma associated with these ghosts, it's clear that they have no chance of reincarnation.

The ginseng fruit thought its host was already in a bad situation, but it didn't expect things to get even worse.

At this moment, Yunran truly resolved to kill Rong Gu. Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but to torture her fellow practitioners like this is worse than pigs and dogs!
Uncle Gu felt great sympathy, but he had no choice but to harden his heart: "Fellow Daoists, we must kill them today!"

"Ok!"

……

Everyone felt heavy-hearted.

They will most likely all stay here today.

Yun Ran did not join the fight against the ghosts. Instead, she sat down on the ground, took out a small flag, waved it, and shouted, "Yun Lai!"

Soon after, a dark cloud drifted in, completely blocking out the sunlight and making the villa area look gray and gloomy, as if it was about to rain.

Then, Yunran mobilized all her merits and took out a golden feather, which she then stuck into her head.

She tore off the gauze that had been wrapped around her body, letting her wounds reopen and bleed.

As the last golden light of merit flew out from her body, Yunran's face quickly darkened.

The golden light of merit floated over those ghosts who had long since lost their humanity.

"what……"

The ghosts let out a series of piercing screams.

Yun Ran, her lips as white as paper, suddenly shouted, "Gate of Hell, open!"

Everyone present, including Yun Ran, fell to the ground in a sorry state after hearing the sound of chains dragging on the ground, their bodies seemingly being suppressed by some kind of restriction.

Suddenly, a spatial distortion occurred in the open space of the villa, revealing a door resembling a black hole.

"Who dares to be so bold as to open the gates of hell!"

With a "poof," everyone except Yun Ran, including the elders, was forced to vomit blood and faint from the pressure of the sound.

Yun Ran wasn't in much better shape. If it weren't for the jade token of Qingfeng Temple's heir and the golden feather bestowed upon her by the patriarch, she would probably be barely clinging to life by now.
