Chapter 452: Calling for Backup Right in Front of Them
Elder Gong couldn't have imagined that Yun Ran's luck would be so bad as to encounter a Mountain Guardian, who, based on their ways of operation, despises nothing more than intruders.
Seeing Minister Duan still a bit stunned, Elder Gong directly spoke, "These Mountain Guardians, are the common term for families contracted with the Mountain Spirit.
Their people will spend their entire lives within the mountains, protecting the life within, thus receiving the Mountain Spirit's feedback.
But as far as I know, the magic to contract with the Mountain Spirit was lost many years ago.
Moreover, with today's laws like those for animal protection and regulations on the environment, Mountain Guardians have long been merely nominal."
If you aren't an insider of the Mystical Sect, you wouldn't know this information.
Yun Ran received this information from the Little Paperman, looked at the elder across, and had a notion in her heart, no wonder she couldn't understand this person's depths.
Being able to contract with the Mountain Spirit means that he carries the Mountain Spirit's aura.
No matter how strong Yun Ran is, she can't afford to be arrogant, easily seeing through a Mountain Spirit with the title of Demi Immortal.
Even though right now the Mountain Spirit's aura is so faint due to the entanglement of Death Energy, she can hardly detect it, but it's not something she can easily offend.
However, since he's a Mountain Guardian, he naturally has the duty to protect all living beings in the forest.
Given the dire situation here, as a Mountain Guardian, surely the elder won't directly beat up this helper, right?
Realizing the person before her is a friend rather than a foe, Yun Ran immediately restrained her previous aura and paid respects to the elder.
"Greetings, elder, I am Yun Ran, the temple master of Qingfeng Temple, here to resolve an old affair..."
The Mountain Guardian listened to Yun Ran's words, his brows furrowed together, especially when looking at Yun Ran's still somewhat youthful face.
In his mind, countless years ago, there was also a group of conceited young people.
When they came, they were high-spirited, but in the end, they fled in disgrace, even causing his brother to lose his life.
As for Yun Ran claiming she's the temple master of Qingfeng Temple, he instinctively ignored it.
He immediately said directly, "Youngster, isn't the outside world big enough for you? Not enough for you to mess around? Why do you insist on coming to such a dangerous place!"
While speaking, he impatiently waved his hand, "This place is not for fun, go, go, hurry back!"
Yun Ran: ...
Although there were many previously who did not think highly of her, owing to her youth, at this moment appearing without any background, being underestimated is no surprise.
But never before had anyone treated her like an ignorant child who only knows to play around, like this elder.
This feeling sure is frustrating.
Perhaps due to the loneliness of guarding here for years, now finally having someone to talk to, the elder's mouth didn't stop expressing.
He continued speaking, "I know you're sure to say you're mighty, a prodigy of the younger generation, hence fearing nothing.
Dare to be in such a perilous place, bringing along a child, treating this as a sightseeing tour..."
Ginsengfruit tugged at Yun Ran's sleeve, "Host, why not show him some colors?"
He also noticed, the Mountain Guardian elder opposite is a stubborn type, extremely obstinate; if not convinced, this elder would annoy them to death.
Yun Ran, however, did not speak but directly took out her phone, switched to a special signal interface, and dialed Xuan Chu.
On Xuan Chu's phone, there were only three numbers, one of which was Yun Ran's.
Seeing Yun Ran calling him in the middle of the night, he instinctively felt that Yun Ran wasn't up to any good.
Yet Xuan Chu still answered the call on the second ring.
"What's the matter."
Yun Ran had her phone on speaker, Xuan Chu's voice, plain with a hint of detachment, in this vast place, sounded somewhat distorted.
"I'm sending you a location now, get here as quickly as possible."
After speaking, Yun Ran just hung up the call, giving Xuan Chu no chance to refuse.
Xuan Chu on the other end of the line was a bit bewildered, as was the Mountain Guardian elder facing Yun Ran.
He ultimately couldn't hold back, directly asked, "You little girl, told you to go down the mountain, you didn't argue with me, instead called someone else and asked them to come here?"
The night's temperature was even lower; after calling, Yun Ran swiftly tucked her hand back in her coat pocket.
"Oh, I thought you considered me arrogant, so I deliberately called for backup in front of you, and by the way, he's from Heavenly Dao Village, just came out to monitor me preventing from doing something bad."
"What?"
Plain words, when strung together, why do they seem a bit incomprehensible?
Anyone who enters the Xuan Sect knows about Heavenly Dao Village, but many merely heard of it.
Being a Mountain Guardian, the old man surely knows about Heavenly Dao Village, and he knows that unless there's a Heavenly Dao Phenomenon, people from there do not come out.
The girl opposite, unexpectedly is under special surveillance from people of Heavenly Dao Village? How could he not hesitate to believe this?
No matter how he looks at Yun Ran, she's just a young girl, how could she cause a Heavenly Dao disruption, this is absurd.
Just thinking this, the girl Yun Ran opposite seemed to have guessed his thoughts.
She smiled and said, "Anyway, let's wait a little longer, you'll know by dawn."
Now it's too dark, the cloud following Yun Ran, insisting on monitoring the Spirit Puppet of Little Martial Uncle can't be seen clearly.
"This cold wind makes my face sore, I'll return to the tent first, if there's anything, let's discuss during the day."
Yun Ran wrapped herself tighter in her clothes, she didn't want to confront the other person in this icy cold weather.
Turning around, she saw behind her those Thunderbolt Team members who seemed to have lost their senses, she truly feared they'd suffer from the cold.
Lifting several layers of dress hems, she took out the bell given by her ancestor when she was in the Ghost World.
Using a clever technique, she rang the bell a few times, its sound was not loud but spread extremely far, as if it could reach deep into the human spirit.
The Mountain Guardian elder watched Yun Ran take out a delicate bell, simply observing.
Until he heard the bell sound, his expression drastically changed, this... this bell sound can break his Soul Enchanting Banner!!!
With the bell ringing then ceasing, the previously dazed Thunderbolt Team members suddenly regained their senses, their eyes finally alive.
At the moment they regained consciousness, their bodies reacted immediately, clearly intending to confront the elder riding the tiger opposite.
But Yun Ran halted them with a wave, "Go back and rest."
