Summit of the Old Gods

After the meeting, the Xun Luo couple and the Phoenix and Swallow Generals stayed behind.

Lu Ran got straight to the point: "Upon returning to the human realm this time, I found a way to tear the contract without harm. Divine General Xun!"

"Here!" Xun Yifei felt a faint surge of excitement in his heart.

Lu Ran sat behind the desk, looking at the divine general in the hall: "As for the Divine Yan Qing, I didn't steal much power, but you accompanied me on multiple sea expeditions, knowing how many sea merfolk we slaughtered."

At that moment, before hearing half of it, Luo Ying was filled with joy!

She knew well that her husband's cultivation was extremely slow, and to progress further, who knew how many more years it would take, perhaps he would be stuck at Sea Realm·Third Rank for life.

Now with the Sect Leader's help to defy fate, everything has changed!

The Phoenix and Swallow Generals also had fiery eyes, finally awaiting the stone sculpture after joining the Ran Sect so long.

This was the qualification for becoming a god!

Lu Ran continued, "Are you willing to become the sea merfolk evil god?"

"Thank you for the Sect Leader's blessing!" Xun Yifei knelt on one knee, his typically calm nature unable to suppress the excitement within.

"Good." Lu Ran walked around the desk and approached the hall, his hand landing on Xun Yifei's head.

A large shadow abruptly unfolded, revealing the stunningly handsome sea merfolk.

He was expressionless, staring down at the insignificant human clan.

After completing the contract, Lu Ran and the sea merfolk evil god protected Xun Yifei, tearing up his previous master-servant contract with the Divine Yan Qing.

Actually, Lu Ran had considered not tearing up the previous master-servant contract, so that Divine General Xun could have both the Yan Qing Divine Technique and the sea merfolk evil technique.

But after thinking it over, Lu Ran decided it was better to be cautious.

After all, Xun Yifei needed to continually merge with the sea merfolk evil god, and under the Divine Lord's rule, a wild-growing evil god suddenly appeared...

Lu Ran felt uneasy.

It was better to firmly keep his subordinates in his own hands.

After everything was done, Lu Ran turned to Luo Ying: "The Divine Asha's arch-enemy is the Fisherman, and I've killed many during my sea expeditions."

Luo Ying's heart suddenly tightened!

In the world, most gods and demons have arch-enemies, and their techniques have many similarities.

But Asha's arch-enemy is an exception!

The Fisherman clan is too weak, with their evil techniques list being nothing but ragged fishing nets and broken fishing boats, it's unbearable to look at.

Just as Luo Ying was inwardly lamenting, thinking of how to tactfully refuse the Sect Leader, she heard Lu Ran laugh: "However, I feel that this evil god is unworthy of you."

Luo Ying felt as though she had received a great pardon, and instantly relaxed.

Lu Ran said, "So I ask the Luo Divine General to patiently wait a while longer until we have visited the South Sea Bow Sect, then you will be the pseudo-god stone sculpture Asha."

"Thank you, Sect Leader!" Luo Ying nodded heavily.

"You can take the Divine General Xun back to rest, he is not in serious trouble." Lu Ran smiled and nodded.

The couple thanked him again and left.

As the couple's backs disappeared at the door, Lu Ran looked at the two remaining and smiled: "Can't wait?"

"Sect Leader!"

"Sect Leader..." The two towering West Desolation believers couldn't hide the desire in their eyes, as they collapsed like mountains.

Lu Ran's smile softened, then he said seriously: "A stone sculpture can only have one inheritor. Which of you two, husband and wife, will be the Barbaric Female Demon, and who will be West Desolation?"

The West Desolation Sect and the Barbaric Clan have slightly different techniques.

The evil demons take the offensive path, while the divine focuses on stronger defensive power and more functionality.

The Barbaric Female Demon has long-range offensive techniques, casting out sharp sand arcs! At the time, when Lu Ran first encountered this clan on the streets of Rain Alley City, he was beaten to an embarrassing escape, quite shameful.

But the Barbaric Clan lacks perception techniques and can no longer stir up sandstorms.

Aside from that, both sides are quite similar in minor techniques and even in River Realm Techniques.

However, their differences become particularly apparent in Sea Realm Techniques.

The West Desolate Divine Skill, West Desolate Sky Barrier, allows disciples to build an enormous wall of dense yellow sand measuring 800 meters long and 30 meters high, with terrifying defensive power.

Barbaric Evil Technique, Barbaric Earth Tremor, causes an earthquake wave to spread from beneath the Barbaric Female Demon's feet, tearing the earth open, heaven collapses, and earth crumbles!

Of course, such grandiose techniques require considerable divine power.

In actual combat, these "laborious" techniques are seldom used.

Take for instance the Divine Technique West Desolate Sky Barrier, it's totally unsuitable for high-level situations like the Holy Spirit Mountain!

Its correct use would be in the Demon Cave in the human realm, used to fend off low-level evil demon minion's horde tactics.

Would you use this method against Jianghai people?

Even if the enemy can't fly, an 800-meter-long, 30-meter-high sand wall can easily be bypassed or overflown by Jianghai people.

As a Sea Realm West Desolation believer, rather than spending massive divine power on building and maintaining sand walls, it's better to attack directly and slay the enemy...

All in all, West Desolation and Barbaric are archenemies with respective focuses, one on offense, the other on defense.

They're quite an interesting pair~

"Sect Leader." The Phoenix and Swallow Generals both had a determined expression, with Xue Fengchen saying, "Yunyan and I have privately discussed this matter."

"Oh? Already thinking about it?" Lu Ran said, smiling, "You two have quite a bit of confidence in me, aren't you worried I'll recruit another divine general midway and give the stone sculpture to someone else?"

Gao Yunyan looked up at Lu Ran and smiled: "If the Sect Leader favors us, we'll accept it. If the Sect Leader has other plans, we'll continue to work hard and strive to earn the Sect Leader's favor as soon as possible."

Goodness~

Lu Ran grinned, looking at the Great Phoenix of the West Desolation.

It's no wonder you hold two large gold bricks!

Your wife's words are truly beautiful~

Lu Ran turned to look behind him, where Jiang Ruyi was still sitting on the throne by the desk, with Xiao Tiantian standing behind her.

"Is she just flattering me?" Lu Ran blurted out.

Jiang Ruyi's lips curled, her eyes carrying a hint of playfulness.

Not bad,

Foolish ruler, but seems to have some self-awareness.

Xue Fengchen spoke timely: "Sect Leader, I choose West Desolation, Yunyan chooses the Barbaric Female Demon."

Lu Ran looked at the two: "One more thing, for now, the power I've stolen from West Desolation is limited, only enough for you to utilize the River Grade Divine Technique."

Xue Fengchen paused, then instantly replied: "Alright."

Just like how Lu Ran had promised the Luo Divine General earlier, after visiting the South Sea Bow Sect, Luo Divine General would be the pseudo-god Asha.

Similarly, the Ran Sect just needs a trip to Tianhuang Mountain, and everything will be solved naturally.

Xue Fengchen was eager to be bound with the stone sculpture.

Not only to grasp the qualification for becoming a god early to prevent any unexpected incidents, but mainly to bind with the stone sculpture early to enhance cultivation talent sooner!

"Phew!!"

A female phantom suddenly opened, her long crimson hair flying wildly.

Those scarlet eyes emitted thick bloodthirsty energy, as if locking onto prey, looking down on the humble human clan below.

Even though the Yan God General knelt, her phoenix eyes were fiery, looking up at the Barbaric Female Demon's scarlet eyes.

Fearlessly!

There was even a sense of contention!

Lu Ran placed a hand on Gao Yunyan's head, finally making the majestic Yan God General lower her noble head.

A pseudo evil god, Barbaric Female Demon, was born under Lu Ran's command.

"The Illusion Techniques of the Ghost Moon Fox clan are quite threatening; if you can borrow the Magic Artifact Ice Heart Bracelet from the Lady, you can accompany me tomorrow." Lu Ran said as he contracted.

Gao Yunyan: "Yes!"

Jiang Ruyi: "..."

After obtaining the Barbaric Female Demon, you're just going to kick the Jade Talisman aside?

Wicked thing!

Jiang Ruyi narrowed her eyes, watching the blue robe youth's back.

Lu Ran suddenly felt a chill down his spine!

He finished his work with stiff determination, then quickly placed a hand on Xue Fengchen's head, muttering to himself:

"Gotta take the new Barbaric Female Demon out for a spin~"

Lu Ran had long fantasized about using the Barbaric Female Demon as a vanguard.

However, this clan's mental state was extremely unstable, and they were far too reckless.

The Yan God General, on the other hand, was different!

Though she wasn't easy to deal with either, the intelligence of the human clan was evident.

Tomorrow, let's see with the beautiful Ghost Moon Foxes...

Just how ferocious this new Barbaric Great Female Demon under me can be!
