Let them leave because Yun Ran has already outsmarted them once. They didn’t die, which means their fate isn’t over yet.
Xuanmen people, even if they’re highly skilled, must respect fate. Unless it’s a matter of life and death, it’s best not to go against the heavens.
Secondly, she’s also injured now, and these four old folks certainly have backup measures. Trying to eliminate them would come at a painful cost.
If the elders of Qingfeng Temple, especially her little uncle, knew she almost played herself into danger just to eliminate a few morally ambiguous old monsters...
She’d be hanging for three days and nights and be scorned from head to toe.
She can even predict what her little uncle would say: Don’t ever say you grew up following behind me; I’m afraid others will mock me for raising a fool!
The powerful evil cultivators killed by her little uncle were rarely taken down one-for-one; most were tricked to death.
Yun Ran sighed silently; compared to being ’sly and treacherous,’ she’s not even worthy to carry her little uncle’s shoes.
The old monsters have no idea what’s running through Yun Ran’s mind at this moment.
They just feel that after finally trying to be good, Yun Ran bluntly rejected them, leaving them embarrassed.
Even the initial small trace of regret they gathered for Yun Ran has now shattered completely.
Now they understand why Yun Ran, who supposedly possesses great character and can be seen as a beacon of the Righteous Path, has only a so-so reputation among Xuan Sect.
Had it been anyone with some background who received proper guidance from elders and had a good nature, they would likely have been exalted by now!
"Humph, with that temperament, you’re bound to suffer greatly sooner or later!"
Though they say this, in truth, their respect for Yun Ran has only grown.
Clearly, they prefer to deal with people who are genuine and undiluted.
He Tu, thinking of the tradition on Yun Ran, couldn’t help but continue to advise: "You should indeed take this matter seriously. It’s best to seek counsel from your sect elders."
Yun Ran never imagined that older people could babble so much.
She immediately removed the disguise on herself, revealing her Life Chart rejected by the Heavenly Dao, so starkly in front of them.
He Tu’s eyes widened in shock; he thought that with all the treasures on Yun Ran, and even having traditions, even if not favored by the Heavenly Dao, she would surely be blessed with Qi Fortune.
He never expected Yun Ran to be burdened with such a worthless Life Chart and even have her Qi Fortune swapped.
His shock caused him to stutter.
Yun Ran then arrogantly said, "Being possessed by mere resentment is nothing. My Life Chart and Qi Fortune were stolen, I’m rejected by the Heavenly Dao, yet I’m living just fine!"
Everyone looked at Yun Ran’s proud demeanor of being rejected by the Heavenly Dao and suddenly didn’t know what to say.
They thought it would end here, but He Tu became particularly angry.
Despite having such a lousy Life Chart, Yun Ran still possesses incredible strength.
Had her original Life Chart and Qi Fortune not been lost, just how powerful would she have been now?
Thinking of this, He Tu suddenly felt intense hatred for those who seize others’ Life Charts and Qi Fortune, even though he himself had done many such things.
At this moment, he empathized strongly with how enraged one must feel to have their Life Chart and Qi Fortune stolen.
Without anyone noticing, He Tu suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself.
This abrupt action confused the other old monsters and even made Yun Ran look at him like he’s crazy.
But He Tu didn’t explain; he turned back to the cave to gather his things.
When he emerged again, his expression was calm and he simply glanced at Yun Ran.
Before turning his back to leave, he spoke: "I will find the one who took your Life Chart and Qi Fortune!"
Even now, He Tu stubbornly believes Yun Ran will still die from this resentment attached to her, be it sooner or later.
The Flower Demon they jointly killed, but its resentment only possessed Yun Ran.
This surely is because Yun Ran’s Life Chart and Qi Fortune are the worst.
He Tu, being naturally extreme, loved to the point of life, hated to the point of death. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
At this moment, Yun Ran’s looming fate was entirely blamed on the one who took her Life Chart and Qi Fortune.
Finding that person and pulverizing them is the last thing he can do for Yun Ran.
Yun Ran watched He Tu’s figure disappear with a bewildered look and then glanced at the other equally dumbfounded old monsters.
"Did he take the wrong medicine?"
The other old monsters pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, we’re not very familiar with He Tu..."
Yun Ran smacked her lips: "Alright then, I’ll leave you to your business. I’m going to pack up and head back too."
The aura of Death Mountain is truly unpleasant, too humid and with drastic temperature variations, making Yun Ran feel uncomfortable everywhere.
After the old monsters left, Yun Ran finally allowed the Little Paperman to release the wild boar leader.
Though the wild boar leader has low spiritual wisdom, it knows well enough that the seemingly weakest human is actually fearfully fierce.
Even if released, the boar leader doesn’t dare move and even tries to retreat.
As Yun Ran approaches, the boar leader imagines 108 kinds of miserable endings for itself, trembling from head to toe.
Its tears stream down, but out of sheer terror, it doesn’t even dare to beg for mercy.
Poor wife and children, once it’s gone, they will have to live marginalized lives among the pig tribe, boohoo...
Yun Ran’s hand covers the boar leader’s head: "You have no ill fate upon you; I’ll spare you this time, and since I borrowed your cave, consider it a little compensation."
As she spoke, a few scattered grains of Merit Golden Light floated into the boar leader’s mind.
With its low spiritual wisdom, it couldn’t withstand such pure Merit benefits, and its eyes slowly closed with tears.
The Little Paperman, carrying luggage, looked at the fainted boar with some disdain.
"All the big rats we’ve met before are smarter than this boar. Fortunately, their tribe is all rough-skinned and tough.
Otherwise, with such a foolish pig, they’d have been eaten by other life forms in Death Mountain, not even leaving bone fragments."
Even so, the Little Paperman dragged the fallen boar back into the cave.
Before leaving, the Little Paperman set an energy wall at the cave entrance, so that the other wild boars couldn’t get in as long as the leader was unconscious.
After all, the boar was compensated by its master’s merit; can’t let other boars snatch it away.
