Summit of the Old Gods

The young man in the emperor robe was very young, instinctively making people think that this yellow-haired lad was speaking without restraint.

"Gulp." The grand lord's Adam's apple moved again.

He did not think the young man was speaking nonsense.

He hadn't dared to look directly at his wife for a long time, but unexpectedly, tonight he found his wife's shadow in a young man.

The grand lord was almost distracted until the woman's voice awakened him: "You are special."

Feng Zhihuan's pair of phoenix eyes were bright, looking intently at the unfamiliar young man.

Cherishing, recalling the kind of unchallengeable aura he had when speaking.

The young man in the emperor robe high-profilely announced that he had slaughtered several of her subordinates, yet she was not angry.

Instead, there was a hint of appreciation in her eyes?

"It seems they mean nothing to you." Lu Ran did not expect such a reaction from this woman.

If possible, he would have preferred Feng Zhihuan to be furious, yet at this moment, Lu Ran only felt like he was an object.

Being meticulously appreciated by the other party.

Indeed, Feng Zhihuan was scrutinizing the young man in the emperor robe and had no intention of carrying on a dispute.

Four pieces, five pieces... no, maybe six pieces of Divine Weapon!

One of them might be incomplete, but anyhow, the young man possessed at least five Divine Weapons.

Feng Zhihuan sensed all of this, and two emotions surged in her heart.

Kill him!

Seize everything from him to boost her own martial strength.

Or... recruit him?

It's hard to imagine a young man at the initial stage of Sea Realm having such a demeanor.

Her grand lord, even at the third rank of Sea Realm, whose realm was higher than the young man's, was nothing in comparison, like clouds and mud.

It was an indescribable charisma, something... familiar.

Familiar?

Oh, yes! Jin Luyang!

Unfortunately, Jin Luyang had a powerful heart but did not understand yielding and submission; most importantly, he didn't have enough immediate combat power to support him.

Weakness is the original sin.

And so he could only become a corpse beneath her feet, and the second-rank Divine Weapon Bow could only be seized by her.

Even the infatuated woman who had sworn eternal love with him could only be thrown into a dungeon; her only value alive was to make the Divine Weapon·Golden Crow Blood Cry Bow obediently submit.

But the young man in the emperor robe before her was different!

His might far exceeded Jin Luyang's, with stronger power and a much more formidable soul.

"You dare to look me in the eye." Feng Zhihuan spoke again, her phoenix eyes slightly lifted, directly meeting Lu Ran's gaze.

"What, afraid to look?"

Lu Ran said this, but his eyes were burning with intense pain.

Physical pain was nothing; the key was that his soul was trembling!

The suppression in terms of level had always existed; Lu Ran couldn't escape the laws under the God-Demon System, but Lu Ran knew very well that the main culprit was that artifact·Phoenix儀九霄 Robe!

This noble and gorgeous garment seemed to penetrate through his eyes, reaching the deepest part of his heart and burning his soul.

It wouldn't incinerate him, but it was enough to intimidate!

Such a powerful artifact...

It could be worn by Little Ruyi, and all beings who saw her would have to bow their heads!

Lu Ran pressed his lips together.

Hmm, even I don't dare to look!

There was a silence at the cave entrance; Lu Ran and Feng Zhihuan didn't exchange much.

Yet the aura of the two kept elevating, surging like an invisible tide.

"Hehe~" Feng Zhihuan suddenly laughed.

Already stunning, she became even more alluring after shedding her solemn appearance.

She glanced at Lu Ran, her red lips parted lightly: "If you want to look, then suit yourself."

The grand lord kneeling before her couldn't help but look shocked.

How many years had it been? Those who dared to offend her had all become lifeless corpses beneath her feet, and now...

Where did this tolerance come from?

"I just want to ask you, we have never met, why kill my subordinates?"

"I heard you intended to ambush Wu Xiao, so I came to have a look." Lu Ran slowly drew out the Eight Desolate Blade.

"What a Xie Wusheng!" Feng Zhihuan immediately understood everything.

What an inside-outside collusion, the ambush on Wu Xiao, it was all a ploy, wasn't it? The other party was actually targeting her?

So, those few ambushers were slain by Peach Garden Disciples!

Everything added up now.

But also not quite right...

The artifact spirit of Phoenix儀九霄 Robe explicitly indicated that Xie Wusheng was not lying and was genuinely intending to cooperate and plot against Wu Xiao.

So, did Xie Wusheng change his mind after returning to the Sect?

"Xie Wusheng?" Lu Ran sneered coldly.

"Hmm?" Feng Zhihuan's fine eyebrows arched slightly, her heart stirred, and she immediately probed, "Aren't you a Peach Garden Disciple? Why are you so disdainful of your sect master?"

"Such a two-faced bastard..." Lu Ran finally shifted his gaze, looking at the man in the big red robe.

Gotta say, these two lords were really well-disciplined.

Even if Lu Ran was up to no good, without Feng Zhihuan's command, they still knelt at their original spots.

However, at this moment, the second lord in the big red robe was hiding a hand in front of him.

With a dull thud!

The long tail of the phoenix robe suddenly flicked, pressing down the second lord's head, grinding his head heavily onto the ground.

And it continued to grind down, punishing this person who was interrupting her conversation.

Lu Ran: "..."

Feng Zhihuan continued to gaze up at Lu Ran, probing further: "Are you not afraid of punishment when you go back, being so disrespectful to Sect Master Xie?"

Lu Ran suddenly laughed: "You want me that badly?"

Hearing this, Feng Zhihuan also laughed.

She was not embarrassed by having her intentions exposed, instead, her gaze was full of enthusiasm as she looked at Lu Ran: "I have roamed the Mountain Realm for over ten years, but it is the first time I've seen someone with your charisma, truly delightful."

Kill and loot?

Or take him in?

Feng Zhihuan chose to capture him and then claim everything of his for herself.

Just like the second lord, whose Divine Sword he painstakingly nurtured now hung at her waist, having long changed ownership.

Lu Ran gradually shook his head: "You've seen it."

"Oh?" Feng Zhihuan furrowed her brows slightly, pondering for a moment, "I don't remember meeting you."

Lu Ran confirmed: "You've seen someone like me; his name is Jin Luyang."

The smile on Feng Zhihuan's face faded.

Suddenly, she grasped with her right hand, tightly holding onto a glittering longbow.

It wasn't her actively summoning the Divine Weapon, but rather the golden bow on her back wanted to fly out. She quickly grabbed it, clutching it firmly in her palm.

Lu Ran looked at the Golden Crow Weeping Blood Bow: "Jin Luyang and I share the same name."

"Buzz!!"

The golden bow struggled fiercely in the woman's hands.

Feng Zhihuan fully realized that this youth was beyond her control!

Da Xia's genius?!

This was one of the hundred youths meticulously selected by Da Xia.

Almost everyone who entered the mountain, either willingly or forcibly, would collude with this filthy mountain.

But Da Xia's genius group...

Did not fit into this realm!

These special people might have been intentionally chosen by Da Xia, waiting for All Gods to throw them into the mountain and accomplish something.

The humble Human Clan was attempting to resist.

Whether it's wishful thinking or ignorance...

These young people, bearing the title of "Da Xia's genius," truly entered!

First, there was Jin Luyang, who was steadfast in death, trying to awaken something, resisting something.

Which caused Feng Zhihuan to scoff incessantly.

Then, Da Xia's second genius, He Qifeng, truly broke through, forcibly built a Forbidden City, sheltering all beings.

When Feng Zhihuan, far on the southern island, heard this news, she was rather surprised.

And at this very moment, yet another Da Xia's genius stood right in front of her!

Moreover, the Emperor Robe youth apparently knew her past deeds.

"Hoo~"

The tail of the Phoenix Robe at Feng Zhihuan's feet swiftly retracted.

The second husband, just punished, suddenly stood up and turned around, drawing the bow and arrow.

"Thud!"

The bowstring vibrated, a string of Water Flow Arrows piercing directly at Lu Ran in the night sky.

Lu Ran's figure suddenly flickered.

Feng Zhihuan's expression changed, could this youth be a follower of First-class God·Gun Ruin?

She tightly clutched the golden bow with her right hand, and as she swiftly flew backward aided by the Phoenix Robe, she grabbed the Sky-piercing Halberd from her back with her left hand.

"Hoo~"

The gleaming halberd tip, under the master's swing, drew a circular arc around her.

However, the Emperor Robe youth did not appear by her side.

Instead, he emerged behind the second husband, slashing down forcefully.

Feng Zhihuan's pupils constricted intensely!

As the Emperor Robe youth appeared, blazing flames erupted on his body, and the slashed Tang Blade even dragged out a long Sword Trace.

"Ah!!" The second husband let out a harsh scream.

He indeed noticed the Divine Power pulsating behind him and immediately dashed forward.

But he escaped the Tang Blade, yet couldn't dodge the long eight-meter Sword Trace...

The Canglong Treasure Armor and Water Flow Armor shattered successively.

The sound of cracking seemed like a death knell ringing in his ears!

Fortunately, after shattering two Sea Grade·Peak level armors consecutively, the Sword Trace lost its initial sharpness.

However, the Emperor Robe youth shadowed him closely and instantly appeared in front of the second husband, the sharp Tang Blade directly piercing his heart.

"Psst!"

The Divine Power swirling on the blade instantly shredded the second husband's heart.

"Thud," a muffled sound.

The Emperor Robe youth swung the blade violently, and the second husband spewed blood, crashing heavily to the ground.

Lu Ran raised his head, looking at the woman rapidly fleeing in the night sky clad in a Phoenix Robe:

"It seems you know our names."

The sound of bowstring vibration echoed again, as a string of arrows attacked from the front left.

Lu Ran furrowed his brows, turning his head.

He saw the first husband still wielding the bow and shooting arrows, clad in deep blue robes.

Lu Ran had already demonstrated the Instant Teleportation Technique; could these arrows stop his pursuit of Feng Zhihuan?

No!

Why was the first husband still doing this?

Drawing hatred?!

"So loyal?" Lu Ran bent his legs slightly and twirled the blade artfully.

"Gulp." The first husband swallowed hard, his heart throbbing violently, yet his posture of drawing the bow and arrows remained unchanged.

He was shooting arrows while shouting fiercely in his heart:

Zhihuan, go! Go...

Lu Ran's eyes were cold as ice, and his figure flashed abruptly.

The first husband had mentally prepared himself, already activating Divine Technique·Canglong Sea Domain, and upon sensing something was off, immediately dashed to the front left.

"Psst——"

Unexpectedly, a sound of Immortal Fog spraying emerged from his back.

When the first husband turned around with his bow drawn, the Emperor Robe youth was already so close, slicing him onto the ground with a single blade!

The Canglong Treasure Armor and Water Flow Armor shattered consecutively without suspense.

A chilling voice came through: "Those who aid the wicked are more wicked than the wicked. Those who support the tiger are more poisonous than the tiger."

In a daze, the first husband even forgot the pain.

He lay on the ground, staring at the soil before him, feeling the cold blade penetrate his heart from behind.

The Emperor Robe youth slowly withdrew the blade, turned his head, following the direction Feng Zhihuan fled, murmuring:

"On the Yellow Springs Road, don't declare injustice."
