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

Chapter 1258 Differential Treatment
Dust filled the sky, but Ma San had already rushed out, holding a cold iron hook in his hand, which sent chills down one's spine.

What happened here quickly alerted the people of Shenjian Manor.

They never expected that someone would actually dare to slap them in the face at this critical juncture.

By the time the people from Shenjian Manor arrived, the ambush was already coming to an end.

Ma San used an iron hook to drag down several people who were covered in injuries from the attacking talismans, like dragging dead pigs.

The road down from the mountainside was covered in bloodstains and bits of flesh and blood scraped off after being dragged.

Those few people whose original appearances were no longer recognizable were still alive, their chests rising and falling slightly, but they had truly suffered a great deal.

This caused the people from Shenjian Manor to change their expressions slightly. Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them; this method was purely for venting anger.

A minor leader from Shenjian Manor forcibly suppressed his discomfort, stepped forward, and bowed to Yun Ran.

"Distinguished guest, the auction is about to begin. How about we handle things here?"

Having witnessed how Yun Ran's subordinates dealt with those who dared to ambush her, the people from Shenjian Villa didn't really want to deliberately make Yun Ran unhappy.

The truth is, there are quite a few people following behind Yun Ran and the others. If things aren't handled properly here, the people behind them won't be able to get through at all.

Even if those people aren't the most important guests, if this matter isn't handled properly, the reputation of Divine Sword Manor might be ruined.

The leader waited anxiously for Yun Ran to speak, even preparing himself to be the target of her anger.

Yun Ran looked at the person standing in front of her, who was trying hard to suppress his breathing in order to minimize his presence, and chuckled softly.

Turns out, being a villain is really fun.

Previously, when she was the young master of Qingfeng Temple and wanted to teach a lesson to those who attacked her, there were always some self-righteous people who spoke without understanding the situation.

They either tell her to be kinder and more generous, or they're jealous that she can take action directly; they always have endless sour remarks.

Some people even thought she looked young and that she was easily fooled, so they kept lecturing her.

Now, not only is no one saying a single unnecessary word, but they are also extremely cautious, afraid of angering her.

Yun Ran glanced at Ma San: "Clean things up, then let's go!"

Ma San originally wanted to teach those who dared to launch a sneak attack what it meant to suffer a fate worse than death.

But since the master has spoken, he naturally can't let the matter drop.

"Yes, Master!"

The cold iron hook immediately changed direction and quickly ended the lives of the people on the ground.

Yunran stepped onto the carriage.

Ma San dusted himself off, quickly jumped onto the carriage shaft, and continued on his way, cracking his whip.

From beginning to end, neither Yun Ran nor Ma San ever intended to find out who their backers were from these people lying in ambush.

Until the carriage turned a corner and disappeared completely.

The group from Shenjian Manor who came to deal with the trouble finally felt a sense of relief.

"Boss, what is the background of this important person? This is too scary. He kills without blinking an eye. He seems even more ruthless than those evil cultivators."

The foreman immediately snapped, "Shut up! How can we casually discuss matters concerning important people?"

He didn't dare say that when he walked up to Yun Ran just now, a chill he had never felt before made his legs tremble.

If the other party hadn't been willing to give Shenjian Manor some face, he didn't even dare to imagine how he would have handled the aftermath. "You few, quickly dispose of these bodies, then clear this road again. The rest of you, come with me to appease the other guests!"

The people from Shenjian Manor immediately stopped talking and took action.

Yunran continued to rest with her eyes closed in the carriage. The nine-headed beast, which had been hiding for several days, finally couldn't resist and revealed itself.

One of the heads looked at Yunran with a curious expression.

“You just let Ma San kill someone. Aren’t you afraid of incurring karmic consequences? Aren’t you people from Qingfeng Temple the most averse to getting involved in these things?”

Yun Ran opened her eyes and was met with the sight of the nine-headed beast, one of which had a pair of eyes full of curiosity.

"People of Qingfeng Temple are indeed not easily tainted by karma, but that does not mean that they will be entangled by these so-called karmas."

The path I cultivate is one that I can be true to myself. Those I can help, I help; those I cannot help, I will naturally eliminate.

If we easily forgive those who are already utterly wicked for the sake of so-called karma, then what about the innocent people who deserve to be killed if they commit further evil deeds in the future?

Nine-Headed Beast: ...

It's confirmed: the guys from Qingfeng Temple are all incredibly steadfast in their Daoist beliefs; they're definitely not pushovers.

The carriage stopped at this moment, and Ma San's voice came from outside: "Master, we have arrived at Divine Sword Manor."

Yun Ran lifted the carriage curtain, and the nine-headed ferocious beast transformed back into a wisp of green smoke.

As soon as I got off the bus, I was greeted by a magnificent mountain gate, behind which was a long set of stone steps.

Yunran's carriage was simply too conspicuous.

As soon as she got off the bus, she noticed a number of people gathered at the entrance of the mountain, secretly observing her.

Fortunately, most of these gazes were out of curiosity, and Yunran didn't mind.

Ma San took out the invitation card that Chi Yao had given her and immediately handed it to the person guarding the mountain gate to receive guests.

The greeters were already very respectful when they saw Yunran's carriage, and now that they saw the invitation from Yunran, they became even more respectful.

He immediately bowed even more deeply: "This way, sir."

Yunran followed the gaze and noticed that there was a sedan chair waiting nearby.

Without Yunran even needing to ask, the greeter immediately explained, "Honorable guest, this sedan chair is specially prepared for the esteemed guest who received the Supreme Invitation."

Everyone else, once they reach this mountain gate, needs to climb the steps one by one.

Although the steps weren't very high, while others walked, some people could ride in sedan chairs to go up.

The difference immediately became apparent.

Ma San stepped forward to inspect the sedan chair, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he invite Yun Ran to get in.

He himself followed beside the sedan chair, his eyes fixed on the people carrying it.

His face was covered in grime, and he looked like he would crush any of these sedan chair bearers who dared to cause trouble.

This differential treatment quickly aroused dissatisfaction among others.

"Why can that person ride up in a sedan chair while we have to walk? What is it that my Huangfu family lacks?"

"That's right, my Zhou family is one of the top families in this area. Who are they looking down on!"
