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

Chapter 1173 A Barrier Within a Barrier
Tong Jing was still preoccupied with how he should make his appearance to save face. If he could step on Yun Ran and be revered by everyone, that would be even better.

In the end, all the imagination was in vain, and the opportunity it had won from Yunran was wasted.

This immediately deflated the bronze mirror's previously arrogant aura.

Even the entire surface of the bronze mirror began to show a hint of defeat and gloom.

Yun Ran ignored Tong Jing's deadpan expression and kept her eyes fixed on the direction of the beam of light.

The scene before her eyes brought a mocking smile to Yun Ran's lips.

It's truly unexpected that someone who has been a falconer for years has now been pecked in the eye by a falcon and tricked time and time again.

After a long silence, she finally managed to utter a few words through gritted teeth: "So it was an illusion!"

To think that she, the young master of Qingfeng Temple, could be deceived by such an illusion!

If her former classmates and seniors found out, she would probably be laughed at for years to come.

Perhaps because it was bound by Yunran's contract, the bronze mirror could clearly sense Yunran's emotional changes at this moment, and it subconsciously reduced its presence.

He was terrified that Yunran would take her anger out on him and turn him into an unlucky bronze mirror.

But sometimes, the more you try to avoid something, the more likely it is to happen.

Yun Ran's gaze returned to the bronze mirror, her tone icy and unyielding: "Now is the time for you to prove yourself!"

Bronze mirror: ...

It knew this would happen!
Even though she had already tried to keep a low profile, Yun Ran still managed to drag her out!
It seems that it was never a bronze mirror that was held in high esteem, but just a small fry that Yunran could order around at will.

But it dared not refute anything at this time, for fear of being blamed and suffering an even worse fate.

Despite his frustration, Tong Jing forced himself to muster some motivation: "Leave it to me, don't worry!"

Although it had no idea how powerful it was when it wasn't divided into twelve parts.

However, it later became very powerful, especially in its ability to see through many falsehoods.

The bronze mirror strained to produce several beams of multicolored light, and when the light spread out, there wasn't a single blind spot in the surrounding area.

Soon, the bronze mirror detected some information.

There's a barrier blocking our way ahead. Inside is something; that thing should be the source of the illusion we saw earlier.

After these words appeared on the surface of the bronze mirror, the entire mirror seemed to collapse, its brilliance diminishing.

The entire surface of the bronze mirror even showed a faint rust-green hue, as if it had been buried for many years and had seen the light of day again.

Looking at the bronze mirror in its current state, Yunran immediately understood that it had truly done its best.

"Thanks a lot!"

After saying that, Yunran put the bronze mirror away, even though she sometimes tried to suppress it.

But seeing how hard the bronze mirror was working, clearly exhausted, Yun Ran was somewhat moved. She was definitely not a shrew.

After putting away the bronze mirror, Yunran looked at the area that the mirror had previously pointed out had problems.

He muttered to himself, "It's a barrier wall. Ha, it can stop others, but it can't stop me!"

Yun Ran stepped forward, and she could easily walk through the barrier without being affected at all. If she hadn't known beforehand that there was a special barrier here, Yun Ran would have completely overlooked this place.

After pinpointing the location, Yunran took out her peach wood sword and thrust it forcefully.

With a 'rip' sound, the barrier was pierced, the sound of which was exactly like the sound of cloth being torn.

As soon as the barrier broke open, a powerful suction force rushed directly towards Yun Ran.

Fortunately, Yun Ran had already made full preparations. Even though the suction force surprised her, she did not panic.

In just a moment, Yun Ran's figure disappeared from the spot.

All that remained were piles of white bones, and the place was eerily quiet, as if no living person had ever been there.

After a moment of dizziness, Yunran's mind quickly cleared, but the scene before her left her speechless.

This is an even colder space; just being in it makes you feel as if your bones have been frozen.

Even the fire spirit that had been following Yunran was affected, and the flame shrank a bit.

'Tick-tock, tick-tock...'

It sounded exactly like the sound of water droplets falling, like surround sound, making it impossible to tell where the sound was coming from.

Yunran could only wander aimlessly in the direction that caught her eye, but after only a few steps, her breathing became somewhat difficult.

This place seems to be a natural restraint for Xuan Shi.

Even someone as skilled as Yunran, who was proficient in various techniques, was finding it difficult to withstand the suppression here.

If it were someone with slightly weaker strength, they would probably die here very soon.

Yun Ran decisively sealed the Xuanmen power within her body. If there were other Xuan Masters here, they would probably all think that Yun Ran was just an ordinary little girl.

This method of sealing off one's own power is similar to the method used by her junior uncle to save her life after she was attacked by the Heavenly Dao.

After losing the power of the Xuanmen, the suppression and hostility of the barrier hidden within the barrier against Yun Ran indeed decreased significantly.

However, precisely because there is no Xuanmen power to support them, it is quite difficult for ordinary people's bodies to withstand the cold and dampness here.

In other words, no matter who you are, anyone who appears here will be rejected and suppressed by this barrier.

Dying here is only a matter of time, and the difference isn't that significant.

Yun Ran took a deep breath, reached out and grabbed the fire essence, which finally dispelled some of the chill.

It's only because the Fire Spirit has been lured by Yun Ran that it's being exceptionally kind to her; otherwise, Yun Ran wouldn't have dared to catch the Fire Spirit with her bare hands.

Having temporarily resolved the immediate trouble, Yun Ran's eyes immediately sharpened.

She wanted to use this hard-won window of time to figure things out.

"I'm curious, what exactly is hidden here that could devour so many Xuan Masters' lives, turning them into piles of white bones!"

Another 'tick' sound.

Yunran quickened her pace immediately, and soon she saw the origin of the 'water dripping sound'.

Not far in front of her, a huge, strangely shaped rock was suspended in mid-air.
