Yun Ran was initially resting with her eyes closed, but she opened them the instant the car stopped.
Fortunately, her car was a luxury model with excellent performance, and the driver, Old Liu, had good driving skills, so even an emergency brake was stable.
Old Liu reached for the gun placed in the car before he opened the door to look outside.
As soon as he got out of the car, a strong smell of blood hit Old Liu’s nose.
Old Liu immediately tensed up, loaded the gun, and approached the person on the ground, then kicked him lightly with his foot.
"Wake up!"
The man showed no response.
After confirming the person was undoubtedly unconscious, Old Liu put away the gun and turned the man lying on the ground over to see his face clearly.
Well, how to put it, it was just a very ordinary face—probably the kind people wouldn’t easily remember if they passed by on the street.
The man’s stomach had a long gash, which seemed scabbed over but still faintly oozing blood.
His face was pale, evidently from excessive blood loss.
Old Liu then walked back to the car and quietly reported to Yun Ran, "Miss, that guy seems pretty badly injured. His hands are calloused; he should be a practitioner..."
This area is rarely visited by people, especially considering there’s a sign at the foot of the mountain.
The logistics department also informed nearby units in advance; normally, no one should invade this place.
Listening to Old Liu’s words, Yun Ran was curious, wondering if this person’s appearance was an accident or if someone intentionally set a trap for her.
"I’ll take a look!"
After examining him, she’d decide whether to call an ambulance for the person.
Upon getting out of the car and seeing the person’s face on the ground, Yun Ran’s eyes flashed with surprise.
Turns out he’s an acquaintance; it seems this wasn’t accidental, but he specifically came to find her.
"Put this medicine into his mouth!"
Old Liu was stunned for a moment, presumably not expecting the Miss to directly order a rescue?
But Old Liu soon reacted, taking the small medicine bottle handed over; whatever Miss wanted to do, he’d comply.
Old Liu swiftly walked to the man, held his mouth, and with a deft move, pried it open.
Yun Ran’s medicine melted instantly upon ingestion, with excellent effectiveness and rapid results.
Simultaneously, Yun Ran formed a seal with one hand and then cast a Primordial Energy talisman into the man’s body.
The large gash on the man’s stomach immediately stopped bleeding, and even his previously pale complexion improved slightly.
"Ugh..."
Soon after, the man emitted a low murmur and furrowed his brows tightly, looking like he was about to wake up.
Yun Ran looked at Old Liu and said, "Take him along!"
If Old Liu still didn’t understand by now that this person was someone Miss knew, he’d actually be foolish.
If she was just showing kindness by giving medicine, that’d be generous enough.
Now taking him to the mountain, considering the state of Qingfeng Temple, not everyone could go there.
"Alright, Miss."
Old Liu immediately lifted the man with both hands and placed him in the front passenger seat.
Upon reaching the gates of Qingfeng Temple, Old Liu parked the car at the designated spot outside.
"Watch him; if he wakes up, let him leave on his own!"
Though Yun Ran wasn’t quite sure of this group’s background, logically, they probably weren’t people who could walk freely in the daylight.
Sending him to the hospital or outright ignoring him, who knew if he’d be caught by those pursuing him.
Since she had saved him, she intended to ensure he could protect himself before letting him go.
After speaking, Yun Ran directly entered Qingfeng Temple.
Today was the day to set up the defensive array for the entire Qingfeng Temple, which was very mentally taxing.
Yun Ran sat cross-legged at the center of Qingfeng Temple, taking out the Dharma Seal obtained previously on Snow Mountain.
It indeed bore some ancient beast engravings even Yun Ran didn’t recognize, looking quite wicked.
If it fell into the hands of an Evil Cultivator, it would undoubtedly harm countless people.
But in Yun Ran’s hands, even if the Dharma Seal itself seemed evil, it could still be put to good use.
Just like many poisonous flowers and grass can become life-saving medicine in the hands of a skilled doctor.
The Little Papermen still guarded their master in the surroundings; at such times, they couldn’t let anyone disturb their master.
The original gloom on the Dharma Seal was cleared by Yun Ran, making its power several times more potent, though still greatly different from the Soul-locking Chain.
Yet for Yun Ran, it was already sufficient.
Yun Ran slashed her palm, watching the blood gush out as she gradually soaked the entire Dharma Seal.
The initially dull Dharma Seal suddenly emitted a few dazzling lights.
A smile emerged on Yun Ran’s face; her blood had awakened the seal’s spirituality.
Yun Ran closed her eyes, as a complex ancient pattern slowly appeared on her forehead.
Seeing the complex ancient totem gradually merge into the blood-soaked Dharma Seal, the skies over Qingfeng Temple slowly gathered many storm clouds.
Meanwhile, in a very famous vegetarian restaurant in Hai City, Xuan Kong looked toward the direction of Qingfeng Temple.
Holding a teacup, he somewhat helplessly addressed his disciple, "Next time, warn Yun Ran somehow not to be so arrogant.
She should give the Heavenly Dao some face, restrain herself; always causing these defying matters, she really puts me in a difficult position!"
Seeing his master, who burned life force, now no longer pretending to be a sage, Xuan Chu could only blankly nod.
Xuan Chu pulled out a Communication Talisman, "Yun Ran, restrain yourself!"
With the words spoken, the Communication Talisman immediately ignited.
He didn’t even consider using the phone set aside; only the Communication Talisman could reach Yun Ran as she was performing the ritual.
As the ancient complex totem and Dharma Seal merged, sweat started to bead on Yun Ran’s forehead, showing her evident strain.
The Little Papermen watched, heartachingly especially as storm clouds gradually gathered.
They were well aware that the thing their master was conjuring was not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao.
However, even in such a state, no Heavenly Thunder could strike their master when she was otherwise engaged.
The Little Papermen quickly morphed their figures, forming an array; having undergone Heavenly Thunder Refinement themselves, they feared not the Heavenly Thunder, and could withstand it for a while.
Seeing the ancient complex totem and Dharma Seal completely merge, blood trickled subtly from the corner of Yun Ran’s mouth.
At this moment, she heard Xuan Chu’s voice beside her ear, "Yun Ran, restrain yourself!"
The gathering storm clouds, with Heavenly Thunder about to strike, seemed to pause momentarily as Xuan Chu’s voice echoed.
