Chapter 562: Chapter 561: All Hearts Are Biased
Wanqi Yu’s mind was also in chaos, but he didn’t show it. Instead, he braved the heavy rain and instructed his subordinates, "Go and find the others!"
Since they haven’t been affected by the Heavenly Thunder, the others shouldn’t be so unlucky either.
Anyway, he inexplicably trusts Yun Ran. If she dares to draw down the Heavenly Thunder, she’s confident it won’t harm them.
Otherwise, if the Heavenly Thunder strikes indiscriminately and involves innocent people, that would be a huge karmic consequence.
The subordinates were shocked, and their awe of Yun Ran had reached its peak, even surpassing the reverence they held for their master.
"Yes, young master, we’re going right away."
A few people started searching around the edge of the stone crater and soon found Ming Shaoqiu and others not far from there.
But they seemed a bit unlucky, partially covered by numerous small stones, appearing to have suffered minor external injuries.
However, people’s hearts are biased. They are clearly leaning towards Yun Ran now; what does it matter to them if these people suffered because of the Heavenly Thunder.
"Hey, wake up!!!"
Ming Shaoqiu was originally very perceptive. If he hadn’t been injured by the Flower Demon before, he might have woken up earlier.
As soon as he opened his eyes, a flash of ferocity passed through Ming Shaoqiu’s gaze. Wanqi Yu’s subordinates had gone to call others by then and didn’t see this scene.
Ming Shaoqiu quickly grasped his current situation and immediately suppressed the ferocity, replaced by confusion and caution.
Seeing a crater as large as a football field not far away, Ming Shaoqiu frowned.
Without bothering with the others, he braved the heavy rain and walked to the edge of the crater. When he saw the remaining aura of the Heavenly Thunder below,
Ming Shaoqiu gasped and even felt a chill in his heart.
Previously, when Yun Ran "inadvertently" disrupted the Black Robed People’s actions a few times, they didn’t pay much attention to her.
But witnessing Yun Ran summon the Heavenly Thunder in person, Ming Shaoqiu narrowed his eyes and had now placed Yun Ran as a formidable enemy.
Secretly, he thought if they couldn’t eliminate Yun Ran while she was weak, they might never have another chance.
Ming Shaoqiu remembered what happened before and looked around at the members of the Wanqi Family, who were searching for people with understanding and tact.
He began to gather power in secrecy, planning to eliminate all of them when the Wanqi Family people weren’t paying attention.
Just as he was about to act, he saw the young master of the Wanqi Family approaching with the Godslayer Sword.
His luck wasn’t great; if he had woken up a little earlier, the situation wouldn’t have been so tricky now.
He could only suppress his murderous intent. Now he wasn’t quite sure of the skills of the young Wanqi master, but he was wary of the Godslayer Sword.
Taking a deep breath, Ming Shaoqiu forced a smile.
He looked at the approaching Wanqi Yu, "Wanqi Daoist, have you found the others?"
Wanqi Yu shook his head. He had searched the area where Yun Ran might have appeared, but not only Yun Ran, even those few Little Papermen were nowhere to be found.
Not to mention those severely injured elders from before, it was as if they had never existed from the beginning.
"Perhaps they’ve already left."
Although the place was struck by Heavenly Thunder and looked chaotic, it was, in fact, not that large and easy to search completely.
Here, there were only their people and Ming Shaoqiu’s group; nothing else was found.
Wanqi Yu didn’t know the reason behind this, but he believed Yun Ran was definitely okay. If she left, she must have her reasons.
Seeing the rain getting heavier, Wanqi Yu had no choice but to retreat with his men.
"Master Ming, since the Flower Demon has been taken care of, we should part ways."
This was a sign they were about to break up, and the Blood Ball in his hand couldn’t be revealed in front of outsiders.
As long as he avoided these people, finding Yun Ran would be easy for him.
Ming Shaoqiu actually didn’t want to separate from the Wanqi Family members, but he had no reason to keep these people around.
He could only feign regret, "That’s quite unfortunate. However, everyone has their fate. I hope your future trials go smoothly."
After Wanqi Yu left with his people, and confirming there were no other eyes on them, he finally took out the Blood Ball.
Unexpectedly, the little worm that had been lively before was now lying directly in the blood sea of the Blood Ball, floating up and down.
"Young master, has the tracking worm died?"
Wanqi Yu’s face darkened slightly as he shook the Blood Ball, but the little worm still showed no response.
"Perhaps it was affected by the previous Heavenly Thunder."
All of them had been knocked unconscious by that Heavenly Thunder. It’s not impossible for the little worm to have died of fright.
As Wanqi Yu’s words fell, his subordinates also fell silent.
Without the tracking worm, how could they find the traces of the eldest lady in the boundless Death Mountain?
Yun Ran, who was on their mind, looked at the few old monsters in the distance that were dragged into the cave by the Little Papermen, then checked her couple of broken ribs.
Wanting to cry couldn’t even begin to express her speechlessness and frustration.
Indeed, the words recorded in the mind and one’s personal experience were completely different.
She had made full preparations and even found a few scapegoats to disperse the karma, with the Heavenly Thunder Order to help cheat.
Yet when the Flower Demon was struck dead, the karmic backlash came quickly and fiercely.
She directly broke several ribs, and her internal organs were damaged. The old monsters, who were also affected by the karmic backlash, were in terrible shape.
If only she had been a bit more ruthless and not cared for these few people, drawing all karma to them, she might have only broken one rib...
As Yun Ran regretted deeply, the Little Paperman flew out of the cave.
"Master, they are awake~"
Beside the cave entrance, a wild boar was tied up tightly, looking in horror at the Little Paperman that flew out.
But the wild boar didn’t dare to squeal at the Little Paperman. Lord knows it was sleeping soundly, and not only did it get beaten, but it was also tied up.
This was its den, a den it enjoyed alone after defeating its former leader.
Now, it was taken over by these humans.
Boohoo, the earlier news was true; humans these days are terrifying...
Yun Ran covered her freshly healed rib, her facial expression full of pain.
"Awake as they may be, do I have to go check on them?"
She’d already shared some of her best medicines and hadn’t taken advantage of the situation to finish off those old monsters.
This was already quite noble of her. To expect more from her was dreaming!
