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

Chapter 1120 I can't stand anything about it (2nd update)
Soon they arrived at the entrance of the second alley marked by the dragon spirit.

Just as the town's Xuan Master was about to step forward and take the item from Xuan Chu's hand, and continue setting up according to the location Xuan Chu had specified, the town's Xuan Master was about to step forward and take the item from Xuan Chu's hand.

However, they were pushed aside by the people of Fuhu City.

"Brother, you were the only one doing all the work before, we felt really bad about it. Now, you can rest and we'll take care of the rest!"

The town's Taoist master's two arms were being held by two of them, rendering him unable to move.

He could only watch helplessly as the others stepped forward with fawning expressions to take his place.

The town's mystic master was furious! These shameless bastards!
If he weren't afraid of upsetting Mr. Xuan, he would have really started cursing right now.

Fortunately, these people were eager to do the work, so their efficiency did not decrease in the slightest, and it did not affect what Xuan Chu was going to do next.

The familiar, inhuman, and shrill screams rang out once again.

The local residents, upon hearing these noises, were so frightened that they quickly retreated into their rooms and locked their doors tightly.

"What...what is that sound...?"

"Could this be the calamity that befell Lotus City? Before, there was no sunlight, and now, evil spirits have descended!"

"Help, help, I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

……

Xuan Chu didn't know if anyone else heard these sounds, but even if he did, it wouldn't affect his actions in the slightest.

Some bolder people quietly left their homes and followed the sound to the entrance of the alley.

The Xuan Masters of Fuhu City sensed that someone was nearby and immediately dispersed, trying to drive these people away.

As Xuan Masters, they are naturally very arrogant about their status and really look down on ordinary people.

"This is not a place for you. Go back now!"

"Get lost! You're looking at everything! Aren't you afraid of going blind?"

……

Soon, the people in the vicinity were dispersed by the Xuan Masters of Fuhu City.

When they returned, the mournful howls had subsided and eventually disappeared.

Xuan Chu followed the same method and put away the small black ball.

As the mournful howls subsided, this area also brightened slightly.

At least, with the naked eye, I can now clearly see the shapes of people not far away, unlike before when everything was blurry.

Long Ling was sitting in the reception room of the Lotus City Mystic Master Association, drinking their treasured tea.

The smile on Chairman Liu's face had turned into wrinkles.

"Mr. Long, what do you think of what we discussed before?"

Long Ling put down her teacup and glanced at Chairman Liu.

His tone was indifferent: "Not very good."

The smile on Chairman Liu's face froze instantly.

They spent a considerable amount of money to persuade the people of Fuhu City to agree to introduce Long Ling.

Sure enough, as soon as Long Ling re-entered Lotus City, he was found by the Xuan Masters of Lotus City.

“Mr. Long, I know that it will definitely require you to expend a lot of your profound energy to reopen the new barrier, but we are willing to compensate you.”

"Whatever you want, we'd gladly give it to you. Please, you must save those young children..." If Yun Ran were here, hearing these words might move her heart.

But Long Ling, who had long been financially independent, genuinely had no interest in these so-called resources.

In a situation where certain death was inevitable, these people's decision to abandon the majority and choose to preserve a portion of the flame was a wise one.

But now, most of the crisis in Lotus City has been resolved.

Long Ling wasn't without options before, but Yun Ran's involvement caused too much trouble, almost causing Yun Ran to suffer a major setback.

He and Xuan Chu then became somewhat hesitant.

Now, Yunran forcibly formed a contract with the bronze mirror, and although she doesn't know what the cause and effect is, it has stabilized Yunran's fortune.

Even though the Xuan Masters of Lotus City were unaware that things had taken a major turn for the better, the decision they made still displeased Long Ling.

He even subconsciously compared these Xuan Masters with the people from the Special Administration Bureau.

Tsk tsk tsk!
You don't know until you compare; once you compare, you find everything about these people disagreeable.

Back then, Gu Yuan and his buddies were prepared to sacrifice themselves for people who were completely unrelated to them, or even strangers.

It was to buy those people some time and a chance to survive.

And these people in front of them, the people of Lotus City, are within their jurisdiction, and they have even supported them for a long time.

Did these Xuan Masters just give up on them so easily?
Why should the torch of life be passed down to the children of ordinary people?

Chairman Liu didn't know what Long Ling was thinking, but he could sense that Long Ling was dissatisfied with his attitude at the moment.

This puzzled Chairman Liu. He hadn't done anything wrong, so how could he have offended the person in front of him?

Just then, the dragon sensed that the place where it had left its mark had been purified.

Long Ling suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction where the mark had been removed.

Sensing the familiar aura, Long Ling's eyes flickered slightly.
He couldn't help but think to himself: Why did that guy Xuan Chu suddenly come in, and start purifying the vengeful spirits here without saying a word?
But this question only lingered in Long Ling's mind for a moment before he had the answer.

It seems that Xuan Chu knew that Yun Ran was alright and had already left.

Otherwise, given Xuan Chu's cautious nature, how could he not worry that the Heavenly Dao restrictions on him would attract the attention of the consciousness of this spatial rift?

Chairman Liu looked at Long Ling's actions and clearly realized something.

He quickly asked, "Mr. Long, what happened?"

Long Ling quickly came up with an explanation: since Xuan Chu had taken action, the credit should belong to them.

This would actually help solidify their public image.

Long Ling then picked up her teacup again, took a sip, and said in a calm tone, "Oh, it's nothing serious."

It's just my senior brother purifying some vengeful spirits inside Lotus City. The crisis in Lotus City should be resolved soon.

You can now arrange for the banquet to be prepared. By the time you're all ready, my senior brother should be back around the same time.

A 'click' sound.

Chairman Liu stood up somewhat out of control, and accidentally knocked over a teacup not far from him.

"You...what did you say?"

Chairman Liu wondered if he was hallucinating.

The problem that he had sent so many people to investigate before, but couldn't find the root cause, has been solved?
