Summit of the Old Gods

Huangfu Tianjiang got what he wanted, while the Ghostly Eyes Ghost's Evil Sculpture was also fixed at the First Level of the Heavenly Realm.

"Damn it..."

Lu Ran grinned, rubbing his cheeks hard.

Training underlings is more exhausting than slaying gods!

Thinking quietly to himself, a slight smile appeared on Lu Ran's face.

This sounds really like boasting~

Hehe, I like it~

Hmm... Better head back to rest a bit, draft a dragon-slaying plan, and by the way, study the Evil Techniques of the Ghostly Eyes Ghosts.

...

"Hmm?" Lu Ran took a step into Heaven's Edge, and the anticipated misty environment did not appear.

Looks like little Yuanxi hasn't succeeded in breaking through yet.

Lu Ran pondered for a moment, deciding not to communicate with the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd, afraid of stressing his sister.

He walked a few steps forward and plopped himself down at the edge of the cliff, habitually dangling his legs over the side.

"Let me see, what's up with this Ghostly Eyes Evil Technique?" Lu Ran murmured, as a faint green mist began to swirl around him.

Ghostly Eyes Evil Technique·Corpse Breath Envelopment!

In an instant, a rancid odor drifted into his nostrils, drilling straight into his mind!

"Ugh~" Lu Ran gagged dryly.

He hurriedly canceled the evil technique, clutching his stomach with one hand and tilting to the side, coughing hard at the ground.

"Cough, cough... ugh, cough..."

What the hell!

What is this?

Lu Ran never expected to be ambushed by his own evil technique!

Having overly sensitive senses is truly a double-edged sword.

"Ugh..." Lu Ran wiped the corner of his eye, looking at the corroded ground.

He had used a Heavenly Grade·Corpse Breath Envelopment! Though the corpse breath lasted only a moment, the ground suffered barely any erosion.

What's the point of this?

Is it just for grossing people out?

Look at someone else's Jade-faced Snake Evil Technique·Immortal Breath! Aunt Bai's red lips casually exhale a breath of immortal qi, and everything dissolves!

And then there's this...

"Ugh~" Lu Ran suddenly gagged dryly again.

A green liquid formed of energy splashed over the edge of the cliff.

Ghostly Eyes Evil Technique·Corpse Decay Poison!

"Sizzle~ sizzle~" A highly corrosive green liquid dripped onto a rock, instantly forming a large hole in the massive stone.

Lu Ran wiped his mouth.

Now that's more like a Heavenly Evil Technique, although... well, it's just so-so.

Lu Ran, closely connected with the Ghostly Eyes Ghost's Evil Sculpture, slowly raised a hand.

His fair fingers quickly shriveled, energy swirling at the fingertips, and long nails appeared.

Black, long, and sharp!

Ghostly Eyes Evil Technique·Corpse Finger Stab.

"Eww..." Lu Ran looked disgusted, quickly shaking his hand to cancel the evil technique.

Watching his nails revert to a rosy hue, and his fingers back to being white and tender, Lu Ran felt a bit better.

But he still used Water Flow Armor to carefully wash his hands.

After a long while, Lu Ran stopped and turned to look behind him.

Soon, he spotted a hidden sentry in the lush forest.

Lu Ran raised a hand, pointing his fingertip into thin air.

"Knock knock knock~"

"Hmm?" The forest guard froze, bewildered, looking around like a bobblehead.

Who's knocking?

Wait! Where are there doors in the forest?

Lu Ran's expression turned strange, looking down at his finger, he tapped lightly again.

"Knock knock knock~"

This time, what Lu Ran knocked on was his own skull from a distance.

Ghostly Eyes Evil Technique·Corpse Finger Knock!

This technique creates a special sound to distract enemies, with a bit of mental interference attached.

Just... mental interference?

Isn't this purely harassment!

Those who know that they're under an evil technique, and those who don't might think someone's coming online on QQ...

But then again, this technique does have its uses in special moments!

Like when the enemy is about to unleash a major attack.

No matter if it's a divine or evil technique, big moves usually require the caster's total focus!

If you dare to lose focus for even a moment, all your previous efforts might be in vain.

And during this process, Lu Ran was knocking on people's heads from a distance...

Such knocking also came with a certain degree of mental interference, making it very likely that the enemy couldn't release their major moves.

"Sect Leader." A fiery red figure approached.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran came back to his senses, raised his eyes, and saw a charming woman dressed in a bright red dress.

Tiangang City's Acting City Lord—Liu Huo!

Liu Huo knelt on one knee, suppressing her pounding heart, and said tremulously: "Disciple just received reports from the covert scouts, there are strange happenings on the island, it seems like there's some knocking..."

"Ah, that's me." Lu Ran smiled sheepishly, "I was just having fun."

Liu Huo: ?

If it wasn't the Sect Master causing trouble, Liu Huo, the City Lord, would likely throw that person into the small dark house for confinement!

Lu Ran turned slightly, looking at the woman blooming like a bright pomegranate flower, and asked: "What level are you now?"

"Disciple is... Fourth Rank Sea Realm, I advanced in early April this year." Liu Huo said with her head down.

"Isn't that fast?" Lu Ran laughed, "Advance early, and you can enter the Sculpture Garden sooner, then you'll be able to stay with the Martial Emperor."

Liu Huo lowered her head and softly said: "Hmm."

Lu Ran tilted his head slightly: "What, still angry? I was indeed a bit naughty earlier."

"No, no." Liu Huo quickly shook her head, "Disciple is not angry! Not..."

Liu Huo's words trailed off!

In her eager explanation, she inadvertently looked towards Lu Ran, and with this glance, she completely lost her soul.

She saw a pair of emerald green eyes.

Crystal clear, soul-stirring.

Those special eyes, like two beautiful flawless green gemstones, radiated an enchanting brilliance.

You might say, other evil techniques of the Ghostly Eyes are somewhat disgusting, but these eyes, are absolutely stunning beyond compare!

Lu Ran gathered Divine Power at his throat, lips moving barely audibly.

Yet in Liu Huo's ears, a muttering whisper sounded: "Sit down."

Evil Technique·Corpse Whisper!

This technique, akin to Evil Technique·Corpse Knock, allowed Lu Ran to knock on an enemy's head from a distance, and also whisper in their ears.

Taken alone, this skill is useless!

It can only scare a person~

But paired with the core skill·Ghostly Eyes, it produced a terrifying chemical reaction.

"Sit properly."

Lu Ran's lips slightly quivered, and the murmuring sound once again surrounded Liu Huo's ears.

Liu Huo had already knelt down, carefully straightening her bright red dress, emanating a Divine Power that spread out the hem like gentle red waves.

Lu Ran's eyes shone brightly, and he whispered: "Stand up."

Liu Huo slowly stood, completely like an obedient puppet.

Lu Ran was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Jump off from here."

Liu Huo immediately stepped forward, one foot on the cliff's edge, leaping without hesitation.

Lu Ran watched the resolute figure, immediately reaching out, five red threads shooting down from his fingertips, grasping Liu Huo's body.

"Whew~"

The beautiful puppet was pulled back onto the cliff by the red threads.

During this process, the two did not make eye contact, yet Liu Huo was still under enchantment, temporarily not free from its influence.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ran's heart gently trembled.

Mother...

Is this technique really this powerful?

No wonder even you were almost enchanted years ago.

Honestly, if it weren't for Mother herself advising, Lu Ran might not even have looked at this weak Ninth-Class Evil Demon.

Today, I've truly witnessed something!

The other evil techniques of the Ghostly Eyes Ghost are rubbish, but these Ghostly Eyes are immensely powerful!

"Whew~" Lu Ran retracted the red threads.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Huo regained control of her body, she started walking towards the cliff's edge again.

Jumping off a cliff seemed to have become her obsession.

"Stop." Lu Ran immediately commanded.

Liu Huo's steps halted abruptly, standing motionless at the cliff's edge with empty eyes.

"Whew~~~" As Immortal Fog drifted, Lu Ran used the Jade-faced Snake clan's Purification Skill.

Gradually, Liu Huo's eyes cleared, looking around in confusion.

"Sect... Sect Master, I just?" Liu Huo stammered, not knowing why she changed position or why she was standing there.

Lu Ran smiled at the woman: "Go back, don't be angry, I promise not to be naughty anymore."

"Yes." Liu Huo blushed, not daring to linger, immediately bowed and took her leave.

Lu Ran also turned his head, gazing at the horizon.

So... can the Heavenly Grade·Ghostly Eyes control the Evil God·Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon?
