Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 16, Nighttime Fire

Has he already come to regard Hongyun as a friend without realizing it?

Hongyun continued, "Could it be that Zhenyuan really intends to abandon me? If so, I will truly be left alone and helpless, and my life will be extinguished!"

Zhen Yuanzi glared at this loose-tongued fellow: "How can a cultivator say such things! As long as you don't go out and cause trouble, the Earth Book will protect you."

Hongyun chuckled, took out a ginseng fruit, took a bite, and swayed back to her room.

Seeing Hongyun's childish figure from behind, Zhenyuan shook his head helplessly, which reinforced his belief that Hongyun wasn't quite right in the head.

That night, a fire suddenly broke out on the other side of Longevity Hill. Mingyue rushed over to report that the fire was very strange and his magic was useless.

Hearing the commotion from Zhen Yuanzi's side, Hongyun worried that someone was deliberately setting a trap to harm Zhen Yuanzi, so she followed him out.

The fire wasn't actually burning very fast, and it was quite far from Wuzhuang Temple. Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun were both filled with doubts.

Hongyun used magic to extinguish the fire, but unexpectedly the fire reignited, clearly indicating that someone was using magic to fight against Hongyun.

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain!" Hongyun suddenly had this thought, and then frowned as she looked at Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi had the same thought. He glanced back at the direction of Wuzhuang Temple, but then turned back, still worried about Hongyun.

"I can handle this by myself!" Hongyun said, turning around, and then continued casting the spell.

The person opposite them was determined to fight Hongyun, seemingly trying to restrain Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi and prevent Zhenyuanzi from returning in time.

Hongyun probably guessed who it was.

Those two bastards were so shameless, they thought they could just steal or rob if they couldn't get what they wanted. They really gave them a hard time.

The anger points are practically handed to me; I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't make the most of them after coming out in the middle of the night.

With a cold laugh, he retrieved the bead from his body and said to Zhen Yuanzi, "Go back now. They're probably after the ginseng fruit. I can handle this one!"

Zhen Yuanzi nodded and immediately cast the spell back.

The fireball that flew straight towards Zhen Yuanzi from the raging fire was blocked by Hongyun, who then sent out a bead-like afterimage into the fire.

Although Hongyun didn't know the name of the bead, after so many years of familiarity with it, she roughly knew its function and power.

For example, right now, the bead is still in Hongyun's hands, just a fleeting image, but it can transform into a clone. It could be Hongyun herself, or it could be the likeness of someone else.

Right now, amidst the raging fire, it's a battle between Jieyin and Jieyin, or between Zhunti and Zhunti. Real people get hurt and feel pain, but the beads' clones don't. Even if they're scattered, they can just create another one.

This bead can simultaneously create dozens of clones, and the number of clones will increase even more after Hongyun's cultivation breaks through, with their magical power no less than Hongyun's own.

The clone cannot speak, and it cannot act like a real person except when fighting, otherwise it would be an excellent tool for framing others.

Realizing where the fighters were hiding, Hongyun grinned mischievously and flicked a pebble from her hand.

[Ding! 1000 anger points have been credited to your account!]

[Ding! 3000 Rage Points have been credited to your account!]

Hongyun jumped up and spun around in place.

I deliberately cast a spell to make the clone act more ruthlessly, so that the person inside could experience what it feels like to be disgusted.

Neither Jieyin nor Zhunti possessed the same magical power as Hongyun, so naturally they couldn't defeat a clone with the same magical power as Hongyun.

Before long, a man with a bruised and swollen face flew out backwards and landed with a "thud" at Hongyun's feet.
