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

Chapter 1107 The Locked Sacrifice
Although Long Ling had never been to the Ghost Realm, the current Lotus City gave him the feeling of a tangible Ghost Realm shrouded in Yin energy.

Even so, this was the result after Yunran intervened.

If Yun Ran hadn't intervened, the entire Lotus City would probably be littered with corpses by now.

While Long Ling was still reflecting on her feelings, the others gradually entered.

Seeing the scene before them, they were not as composed as Long Ling; they stared in disbelief at everything in front of them.

"What... how did Lotus City become like this!"

"With deathly and yin energy swirling around, ordinary people trapped in such a place would surely suffer heavy casualties!"

"Something looks like it's coming from over there! Everyone be on guard!"

……

Everyone immediately took out their magical weapons, waiting for a single, decisive strike.

In such a dark environment, even a Xuan Master would have very low visibility.

After a while, everyone realized that the person walking over was an old acquaintance.

"Why is it you!"

The leader blurted out the question, but he regretted it the next second.

He clearly realized he had asked a stupid question.

It's obvious that the area near the city gate is a very important location, and it's normal that it's controlled by the Xuan Masters inside the city.

But this also gave the Xuan Masters of Fuhu City a signal that the interior of Lotus City was still under control.

If things go wrong, it won't be easy for these Xuan Masters, who were originally trapped inside the city, to hold their positions at the city gate.

At this moment, seeing familiar faces, whether from Lotus City or Tiger Subduing City, brought a slight sense of relief.

"How did you get in!"

As they spoke, the group from Lotus City who had come to investigate the situation looked directly past the people from Tiger Subduing City and towards the area behind them.

Naturally, they then saw the barrier activated by the Dragon Spirit.

The eyes of those people lit up immediately, as if they had seen something extraordinary.

"You...you actually managed to activate such a barrier! This is wonderful! We're saved!"

The person who spoke immediately took a few quick steps forward and touched the barrier with their hand, as if trying to see if they could get out.

Long Ling just watched from the side, not intending to say anything at all. In any case, to him, he was just there to go through the motions.

The moment the people from Lotus City touched the barrier, it seemed as if it had been startled and suddenly shrank a little.

This scene greatly frightened the people from Fuhu City who followed them in.

They were afraid that the barrier would disappear completely, leaving them stranded inside forever.

“Stop, stop now!”

The people from Fuhu City were so loud they were almost splitting their voices, and some who were nearby immediately reached out and pulled the person back.

The people of Lotus City stared blankly at their hands.

He never expected that simply reaching out to touch the barrier would turn into this.

Only after withdrawing his hand did he belatedly realize that he had broken out in a cold sweat.

"I...I didn't mean to, I just wanted to try it out..."

But as he spoke, he ran out of things to say. At that point, all explanations seemed pale and powerless.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have acted rashly."

The person had already apologized; continuing to pursue the matter would seem petty. However, the people of Fuhu City dared not offer any forgiveness, and their gazes all turned towards Long Ling's direction.

Dragon Spirit: ...

He said that dealing with other humans was really tiring, and it was much easier to be with Yunran and the others.

Even being with those guys from the Special Administration Bureau wasn't this tiring.

For the first time, Long Ling felt that he was really not suited to doing this kind of 'undercover' work.

"What are you looking at me for!"

The others didn't see Long Ling roll her eyes, but they could tell that her tone wasn't very friendly.

Xuan Shi, who had come from the remote town with Long Ling, stepped forward to smooth things over.

They knew Long Ling's temper, but the Xuan Masters from Lotus City and Tiger-Subduing City didn't. Starting a conflict in such a place was clearly not a wise choice.

"Mr. Long, could you please take a look at the condition of this barrier?"

Long Ling is a typical example of someone who likes to wear a sour face. Even when he does something, it makes people feel that he does it unwillingly.

"Step aside!"

The Xuan Master in the remote town breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Long Ling was willing to go and investigate.

God knows, he wasn't worried at all about Long Ling giving him the cold shoulder or even cursing him; he was just afraid that she would just wash her hands of the matter.

Long Ling glanced at the location of the barrier.

He then turned his gaze away and said casually, "We come from outside, so the impact is minimal, while they are the targeted sacrifices."

Unless they die, they can forget about leaving here alive. If they don't believe in this and insist on leaving, the barrier will collapse.

Let me make this clear first: I'm not opening another barrier. You'd better be aware of that!

Anyway, if Long Ling gets trapped here, it's hard to say who will outlast whom.

As for the others, all I can say is, good luck to them.

Although Long Ling's words were somewhat harsh, the others still understood the underlying meaning.

That is, this barrier is friendly to them.

However, it is impossible for people from Lotus City to leave through this barrier.

If they try to force their way in, the barrier will collapse.

When faced with life and death, who can remain absolutely rational?
At this moment, the Xuan Master from Fuhu City felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.

They not only have to help deal with the situation in Lotus City, but also have to guard against backstabbing from certain people!

It's not impossible that those people might decide that since they can't leave, they have no choice but to wait here and then, in a moment of desperation, drag them down with them.

Human nature, when faced with life and death, can be either incredibly noble or incredibly ugly.

At this point, no one dared to gamble on anything.

Another vice president of Fuhu City looked directly at the servant beside him.

"You few are responsible for guarding the entrance to this barrier. Anyone who tries to force their way in will be killed without mercy!!!"

Perhaps it was because this vice president was decisive enough, without being coy or morally blackmailing her, that Long Ling finally started to find him a little more agreeable.

There weren't many people coming in this time to begin with, and Lotus City isn't small either. If we left some of our fighting force here, wouldn't that be a waste of time?

Dragon Spirit would never allow them to do that.

"Alright, there are other ways. One talisman for each person!"

As he spoke, Long Ling tossed out a stack of talismans, which were immediately taken by people who then distributed them one by one.
