She not only failed to find anyone but also got lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such an illusion, without a way to determine direction, the supplies she brought were hardly sufficient. If she continued to use up her energy, things could really become troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What left Yun Ran speechless was that she inadvertently entered some bizarre area and even lost contact with Ginsengfruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems that the hidden energy of this place can also attack the divine soul. Otherwise, Ginsengfruit, a system bound to my soul, wouldn’t have lost connection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran let out a soft sigh. This was her first encounter with such a situation. While feeling a bit panicked, she was also somewhat excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a person who liked to be lazy and also loved adventures - two conflicting traits that surprisingly coexisted within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from Zhonglisu, she couldn’t sense any signs of life in this illusionary realm; the silence was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the masters of the illusion were angered by her previous actions and had locked her up in a dark room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran yawned and took out several specially made talisman papers from her bag. The moment she threw them, the talisman papers self-ignited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously chilly place quickly warmed up significantly. Yun Ran found a flat spot and began to rest with closed eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Zhonglisu, Yun Ran had knocked her out cold and tossed her aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t let the Little Paperman out to keep watch but took out the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, floating it above her and Zhonglisu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When there was no danger, the Heavenly Thunder Pearl simply floated, occasionally sparking electric flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if any danger approached, the stored Heavenly Thunder within the pearl would strike precisely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While all was quiet on Yun Ran’s end, others were not so fortunate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoist Qingmu, bruised all over, was sitting on the ground. The illusion he was in depicted an unknown dynasty where he was the State Preceptor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless Heavenly Fires descended, demons invaded, and hearing the cries of countless citizens, he couldn’t ignore them and had to resist desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he knew those cries were fake, they still affected him, and failing to save these people even impacted his Dao Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of dark energy began seeping into Daoist Qingmu’s injured body...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those trapped in the environment didn’t realize they had already been missing for over three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When people from the Northwest Branch found the van that Yun Ran and the others had disappeared in, they felt as if the sky had collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s over, now it’s really over. It was just a case of a tourist and a herdsman’s livestock going missing, now it’s escalated to this extent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can’t cover this up anymore, we have to report to the headquarters immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Northwest Branch’s big shots are all trapped, and even folks like Daoist Qingmu are stuck, other branches are going to shred us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every branch considered their big shots more important than their own eyes. If they couldn’t bring them back, everyone in the Northwest Branch would probably be replaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xie Xuzhi received the news, his expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuan was extremely restless: \"Boss, let me personally lead people there to check it out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xie Xuzhi’s phone rang, and the person on the other end was from the Zhongli Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Xie, our Xiao Su is also among the missing personnel this time. I wonder if you would permit us to send our own people to search for them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People from Mystical Sect families are not allowed to randomly use Mystical Sect powers outside without special authorization from the Special Administration Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a mutual restraint agreement initially established between Xuan Sect families and the Special Administration Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s consideration, Xie Xuzhi agreed: \"I can grant you three slots, set off an hour later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the phone, Xie Xuzhi turned to Gu Yuan: \"There’s no need for you to go, don’t forget you have other responsibilities!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuan was genuinely worried about Yun Ran and wanted to argue further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then heard Xie Xuzhi continue: \"I trust Yun Ran. If even she can’t make it out, you going there won’t make any difference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuan:...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good grief, since when did the boss start speaking so harshly? This was clearly saying he wasn’t up to par.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humph, he was only ever so slightly less competent than Yun Ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gu Yuan’s frustrated expression, Xie Xuzhi did not pamper him: \"The cases about those Evil Cultivators stealing Life Charts you were investigating, any leads?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those involved in Evil Techniques, causing harm to lives, those wooden idol cases, any trace of Rong Gu found? Have the culprits who turned people into Puppets been located?...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Gu Yuan thought he could squeeze in some time, but hearing these unresolved cases with only partial clues found, he suddenly felt a headache coming on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go handle it right away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuan turned and ran off swiftly, as if someone was chasing after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office became empty, and Xie Xuzhi put down the pen in his hand. Although he appeared calm, his heart was slightly taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but hold his forehead; he now finally believed what Yun Ran said: Wherever she was, there would never be a lack of cases, troublemakers would come out on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he just wanted Yun Ran to lay low for a while, but unexpectedly, the girl got wrapped up in trouble again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he was somewhat sympathetic towards Yun Ran for having her Life Chart stolen by others. Now, it seemed that Yun Ran’s Life Chart wasn’t as simple as just a Heavenly Abandoned Fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Xuzhi picked up the phone and instructed people to start investigating Yun Ran’s parental ancestors again—he didn’t believe all this was merely coincidental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People from the Zhongli Family and those sent by the Special Administration Bureau to rescue soon arrived at the Northwest Branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The representative from the Zhongli Family was led by Zhongli Yuanjing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had decades-long acquaintance with people like Daoist Qingmu, very familiar with their abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even regarding Yun Ran, he was well aware that her abilities were above his. In his view, this was no longer a simple case of disappearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a planned, premeditated targeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring all the material here, and re-interview all witnesses, don’t miss a single word!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other people from the Special Administration Bureau present also had grave expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all the big shots of the Northwest Branch trapped, even Daoist Qingmu and Master Jiechen caught up, no one dared take it lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meeting room was filled with the sound of flipping through material when suddenly, a young voice rang out: \"I’ve found a suspicious point!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s gaze turned sharply towards the young speaker, making him suddenly nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this record, it says that Lan Jushi from the Northwest Branch was the first to go to investigate the situation and didn’t return until three days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I compared it with Lan Jushi’s ledger; he wrote that he spent two days confirming that the area had natural mists, the timing doesn’t match up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1207,"2026-06-06T11:48:49.456Z",1,"novelbin.me","75fec46556d203f17bc5de1809fbc9757daf49e7ad25460177c33a031acd3084","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-263","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-261",1219,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-cover.jpg"]
