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

Chapter 769 'Dragon's Den and Tiger's Lair'

Yunran felt like she was about to be shaken to pieces, and she didn't even feel like cursing these black-robed men who were taking the old path to save money and trouble.

Although Xie Xuzhi didn't say anything, his eyes turned cold, clearly indicating his dissatisfaction with the current situation.

I don't know how much time passed before the car finally stopped.

Yunran used to be quite resilient, but now she's seeing stars. It seems she's really been slacking off.

Ginseng Fruit originally wanted to join in the cursing, but when he heard someone coming, he immediately shut his mouth and closed his eyes.

"Creak" sound.

The cover on the truck's base was opened, but the expected stench didn't hit them; there was only a faint, almost imperceptible odor.

Fortunately, it was Yan Ming who opened the lid, otherwise he would definitely have become suspicious.

Looking at the group of people lying there seemingly oblivious, Yan Ming realized for the first time that he, as an undercover agent, was utterly insignificant in front of the young lady.

Of course, Director Xie, who was deeply feared by everyone, was no less impressive, and his acting skills were superb. No wonder so many people couldn't beat him.

"What are you doing? Get over here right now!"

A voice suddenly came from behind.

Yan Ming immediately put away all the messy thoughts that had been in his mind and reached out to pull Yun Ran and the others out.

As he got closer, Yan Ming finally smelled the scent emanating from the young lady; she was truly marinated.

Tsk tsk tsk, it really stinks!
Uh~
As soon as he made that sound, Yan Ming quickly covered his mouth, his eyes darting around.

He really didn't do it on purpose; it was just a physiological reaction. It wasn't that he disliked the young lady.

The sound was so obvious that Yunran couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.

Although this was the effect she wanted, Yunran was still a little annoyed to be so bluntly disliked!
When she catches all these people in one fell swoop, she'll make them taste the same bitterness.

"Is this the famous Abbot Yun?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Ran even suppressed her breathing.

Yan Ming instantly turned into a sycophant, hurriedly saying to the man, "Yes, Master, this is Yun Ran and that person from the Xie family!"

The man seemed disgusted by the stench emanating from Yun Ran and the others, and stopped in his tracks as he was walking towards them.

"Go and clean them up."

Despite being disliked, Ginseng Fruit and Cloud Dye didn't react much.

A surge of anger suddenly rose in Xie Xuzhi's heart. This was probably the spirit of a scion of a noble family: a scholar can be killed but not humiliated.

Soon, someone took a water hose and started spraying water on Yun Ran and the others.

They had been trapped in a hot and smelly place, and their clothes were already soaked with sweat.

The water felt exceptionally refreshing as it washed over them; the only downside was that it was a bit cold.

If it were warm water, that would be even better, but of course, this was just Yunran's wishful thinking.

The cool water drenched her body, and at the same time, extinguished her drowsiness.

"Bring the person inside!"

Yan Ming stepped forward first and lifted Yun Ran up. It was better for him to protect the young lady himself.

As for the young lady's apprentice and that Director Xie, all I can say is that they were unlucky, being dragged along by other people.

Yunran didn't open her eyes, but that didn't prevent her from sensing the situation here.

She hadn't noticed it at first, but now she clearly felt that the environment was somewhat familiar, as if she had been here before.

Yan Ming followed behind the incense master and the others; this was his first time here. Despite having made considerable contributions before, the incense master hadn't agreed to let him come here.

Unexpectedly, thanks to the young lady, I was able to get here so easily this time.

However, as he walked, he realized something was wrong.

Why are they heading towards the Death Mountain?

Yan Ming's legs suddenly went weak. The rumors about the Death Mountain were extremely damaging to people in the Xuanmen sect.

Feeling Yan Ming stumble, Yun Ran pinched his thigh.

Yan Ming, who had frightened himself, finally regained his composure and managed to keep his balance so that no one would notice anything amiss.

Yunran finally realized what the familiar aura she had felt earlier was.

She never expected to come to this place again.

"Kakaka..."

A mechanical sound rang out.

Suddenly, a huge gash appeared in the otherwise peaceful ground, as if some wild beast had opened its mouth wide, waiting for someone to go down and feed it.

Yunran's curiosity was truly piqued, and she immediately activated her Heavenly Eye, wanting to see what kind of place this was!
Yan Ming quickly adjusted his mindset and followed behind with 'firm' steps.

It was as if the place he was going to was not some dangerous place as rumored, but a sacred place he longed for.

Yunran opened her Heavenly Eye, and the Ginseng Fruit could see the situation here without needing to use its eyes.

In other words, of the three outsiders, Xie Xuzhi was the only one who couldn't see anything.

When Yunran was dragged to the entrance of the tunnel, a gust of cold wind blew in, causing Yunran, who was already soaked, to shiver.

Yan Ming felt his young mistress's movement and his body couldn't help but tremble.

He is really afraid.

If the young lady had messed up on the way here, he could have found a way to take out the others and escape with her.

But now that we're here, in such danger, shouldn't the young lady be more careful?

This place is a den of wolves and tigers; one wrong move and you're dead.

He did want to say a few words to Yunran, but this was clearly not the place for him to speak.

Yan Ming could only use his body to block Yun Ran's movements as much as possible.

The tunnel wasn't as dark and damp as I had imagined.

The carving marks on the surrounding stone walls are very old, indicating that this place has existed for a long time.

Yunran's 'gaze' naturally saw this place clearly as well.

Considering the terrifying rumors that have always circulated about the Death Mountain, for a moment, Yunran couldn't help but have doubts.

Could it be that the danger of this Death Mountain was deliberately created by someone?

The incense master at the front deliberately devoted some of his attention to the newcomers, such as Yan Ming.

Seeing that they didn't have countless questions despite being in the Death Mountain, and were still able to follow calmly.

This satisfied him.

Of course, this satisfaction is based on the premise that these people are still useful.

If it weren't for the fact that the people sent out to capture Yun Ran and his group suffered such heavy casualties, these few newcomers probably wouldn't have had the chance to come here again for another ten years.
