Summit of the Old Gods

"What did you say?"

Inside the house in the river valley, a voice of disbelief came from Wang Ling.

At the wooden table in the living room, the uncle and nephew of the Wang family sat face to face with Guan Yiren and Niu Zhengzheng.

Wang Ling held the teacup, staring blankly at Guan Yiren: "But... but the official report said it was Lord Jade Talisman and Lord Dry Sea who jointly killed the Ghost Talisman Doll."

"Heh." Guan Yiren sneered.

"Don't be naive, brother." Niu Zhengzheng grinned widely, showing the same disdainful expression, "God and Demon were always one group!"

Wang Ling turned his head, looking foolishly at Wang Quan.

Wang Quan's face was solemn and he didn't make any comments.

Niu Zhengzheng continued to shout: "The gods feed on faith, the demons feed on emotions!

Gods and demons are like a group of big mosquitoes, hanging onto the human clan, eager to suck us dry!"

The world still thinks the gods exert their power to slay the demons, leading the human clan to dawn?

Quit kidding!

"He killed it." Guan Yiren turned her gaze to the window, looking at the young man sitting quietly by the riverside.

"Was it... Brother Ran who killed the Ghost Talisman Doll?" Wang Ling's eyes were terrified, also gazing out the window.

Such shocking words, if spoken by someone else, Wang Ling wouldn't believe them.

But these words came directly from Guan Yiren.

Wang Ling admittedly was a die-hard fan of Lu Ran, always looking up to the top Heavenly Pride of Da Xia.

But admiration aside, you...

You can be unmatched in your generation, even reach the peak of the Human World! These are acceptable.

But to aim a sword at the Evil God?

And actually kill the Evil God!

"It's not just the Ghost Talisman Doll." Niu Zhengzheng rubbed his head with a big hand, feeling a tingle in his scalp as he mentioned this, "Ghostly Eyes Ghost, Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon..."

Niu Zhengzheng's intelligence was still shared by Qiao Yuansi during a gathering of the Beijing team of three.

It obviously needs updating.

Subsequent falls of demons like Greedy Wolf-Evil Dog, Star Official-Flash Star Demon, Moon Spirit-Nether Toad, Yema Soul Hooking Horse, Niu Zhengzheng didn't know.

"Damn!" Wang Ling cursed, with his head full of thoughts about the earth-shattering Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon.

Is this even daring to kill?

To dare or not is about courage, the real core question is:

Is this even possible to kill??

As a Great Power in the Sea Realm, seeing the Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon lackeys of River Realm, Wang Ling had to be extremely vigilant.

Yet you tell me, Lu Ran directly charged into the deepest part of the Demon Cave, slaying the Evil God Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon itself?!

Niu Zhengzheng suddenly leaned forward, his large eyes like bronze bells looked at Wang Ling seriously: "Brother, I'm holding back when I say this!"

Wang Ling: "Huh?"

Niu Zhengzheng grinned: "These few Evil Gods died last month."

"Yes, Lu Ran will only get stronger and stronger." Guan Yiren agreed with her teammate, "Over the past month, the gods and demons slayed by him will only increase, not decrease."

Wang Ling's mind buzzed, slumped in the chair.

Guan Yiren's beautiful eyes gazed at Lu Ran, her expression complicated.

Some people,

are truly only suited for admiration from afar.

...

The Thousand Flower Ridge at dusk has a unique charm.

The phantom youth accompanying Lu Ran suddenly surged onto the blade.

At the same moment, Lu Ran also sensed the footsteps behind.

"Brother Ran." Wang Ling called from a distance.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran slightly turned his head, glancing behind him with the corner of his eye.

From afternoon to dusk, they had talked for quite a long time, so the uncle and nephew of the Wang family must have gained deep insights into the God Demon, Ran Sect.

"Thank you, Brother Ran, for thinking of me." Wang Ling looked at the young man's back, his eyes blazing.

Lu Ran smiled: "Planning to come with me?"

"Of course!" Wang Ling's response was firm and unhesitant.

"What about your uncle?" Lu Ran said casually.

Wang Quan is also a top-notch First-class God·Qiang Xiu disciple, plus a powerful presence of Yangyang Sea, in the past, he was the Great Power sent by Beijing to support Rain Alley.

With outstanding combat skills and unparalleled martial arts!

Additionally, given his relationship with Wang Ling, Lu Ran naturally aspired to recruit this general under his wing.

Both the Wang family and the Guan family, behind Guan Yiren, are influential families in Beijing.

Even if the gods and demons made Da Xia, and even the whole world, distorted, where there's people, there will be systems of rules operating.

Given Lu Ran's path of growth, and the heights he stands at, he obviously wouldn't care about various relationships on the plane of the Human World.

He has a grand aspiration, always targeting the Hall of All Gods.

God and demon created an aberrant world, and those who want to break the rules, are also walking a distorted path.

Lu Ran and his subordinates have long been disconnected from the realm and entire society.

Thus, having such subordinates, on some future day, can better connect Ran Sect with the Human World.

"Uncle Quan also wishes to join Ran Sect and contribute to the cause of the human clan, earnestly requesting Master Lu… Sect Leader for asylum." Wang Ling clasped his hands, reverently worshipping.

As if paying homage to a god.

Perhaps Lu Ran's strength realm can't yet stand parallel to the gods.

But merely in the Second Rank of Sea Realm, Wang Ling couldn't distinguish the differences between the first, second, third levels of Heavenly Realm from God Realm.

Nevertheless, Lu Ran's glorious achievements have already placed him on an unparalleled Divine Altar in Wang Ling's heart.

"Alright, brothers in arms, father and son soldiers." Lu Ran slowly got up, sheathing his sword, "However, Qiang Xiu-Evil Spear Emperor Stone Sculpture already has an inheritor, you two need to choose other gods and demons."

Wang Ling immediately said, "I heard from Niu Tou that Brother Ran left me the Soul Hook Demon?"

Lu Ran laughed and turned to look at the young man several meters away: "You don't feel wronged?"

"What?"

"From a First-class God disciple to a Sixth-rank God Demon, don't you feel wronged?"

"No!" Wang Ling shook his head decisively, "Brother Ran specifically left it for me, I don't feel wronged at all!"

What a joke!

This is an opportunity to become a god, who would feel wronged?

Wang Ling also keenly caught the words "God Demon," confirming his anticipation that Lu Ran intended to bestow upon him a complete God Demon Double Stone Sculpture.

The Yema-Soul Hooking Horse (Demon) is one of the few in Da Xia's God Demon Series capable of directly injuring the soul while the enemy is still alive.

Under the Divine Demon System, such damage equates to real harm.

Soul Hooking Horse has spiritual output, spirit defense, chain control, and can capture the enemy's soul posthumously.

The Yema moves swiftly, can tread fire and fly, and even use blazing Karmic Fire for ranged attacks, impacting the enemy's soul, burning the flesh, preventing wound healing.

God and Demon unification, complementing each other's weaknesses.

"With you and your brother protecting little Yuanxi, I can be a bit more at ease." Lu Ran smiled and nodded, "A couple of days ago, I just slaughtered the Yema-Soul Hooking Horse, the Divine Position is ready-made, only awaiting your Heavenly Realm ascension."

"Huh??" Wang Ling was stunned.

Lu Ran had already slaughtered this pair of God Demons?

Could such a thing not be spoken so casually?

Beside him, Wang Quan silently watched Lu Ran.

The sunset glow bathed the world, reflecting the young man dressed in snow-white clothes in a blood-red hue.

Even the exquisite "instrument of punishment" on his face seemed to emit a more eerie blood-colored radiance.

Wang Quan's heart suddenly trembled heavily!

Because the young man turned his gaze, asking in a muffled voice: "Uncle Wang, what's your plan?"

"Miss Guan said, there aren't many Stone Sculptures left under Master Lu." Wang Quan's voice was hoarse.

"Hmm."

"I wonder, is the Skyspear Divine Sculpture still there?" Wang Quan asked.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran's expression became somewhat strange.

Fourth-rank God·Skyspear, resides alongside Flower Lantern on a Divine Mountain, which is precisely the next target for Ran Sect's attack.

"If the Sect Leader finds it difficult, I'll choose another." Wang Quan slowly said.

"Not difficult." Lu Ran shook his head, "Tomorrow, I will go and slay the Skyspear-Muddy Cloud Demon, seize the Divine Position, and keep it for Uncle Wang."

Guan Niuwang: ???

Wang Quan: "..."

"Brother Ran!" Wang Ling mustered up the courage, speaking from afar, "You don't have to do this, we..."

Wang Ling misunderstood, thinking Lu Ran especially valued the uncle and nephew duo, thus making such decisions.

To say he wasn't moved would be false.

But one word from his own uncle directly decided the life and death of a god...

This kind of importance was too heavy.

The casual tone was suffocating.

Lu Ran didn't pay attention to Wang Ling, murmuring, "Skyspear is nicknamed Little Qiang Xiu, once combined with Muddy Cloud Demon, their combat power is indeed formidable.

Please, Uncle Wang, later join Wang Ling and Niu Zhengzheng in protecting little Yuanxi well for me."

Wang Quan nodded solemnly.

"Let's go." Lu Ran summoned an Ancient Bronze Mirror.

One step was Tianya Haijiao, with this step, Lu Ran also entered the thick mist.

Someone else is advancing?

Catching the wind is a good thing.

"Come on, Wang Ling!"

"Sect... Brother Ran?" Wang Ling had tried many times to call him Sect Leader, his admiration for Lu Ran was heartfelt, yet Niu Zhengzheng had specifically reminded him not to change his address.

This was Lu Ran's specific request, not wanting previous relations to transform.

Wang Ling also heard from Niu Zhengzheng that his girlfriend Chang Ying still calls Lu Ran "Ranbao" to this day.

Also quite rebellious...

Wang Ling asked himself, even though Divine·Qiang Xiu was his classmate, who later rose to become a god, he would never dare call Qiang Xiu "Qiangbao"...

"Sending you a horse." Lu Ran placed a hand on Wang Ling's head, his body projected a giant Evil God's shadow.

Signing the Inheritance Contract, tearing up the Master-Servant Contract, Lu Ran did it smoothly.

"Uh." Wang Ling groaned in pain.

Lu Ran patted his shoulder: "From now on, the God Realm is your growth limit, calm yourself quickly in cultivation, ascend soon, and fight the God Demon battles with me."

"Yes!" Wang Ling clenched his fist.

"Come, Uncle Wang, it's your turn."

After finishing everything, Lu Ran had Niu Zhengzheng and Guan Yiren arrange accommodations for the uncle and nephew duo, then returned to Tianya Residence.

He fell onto the bed, mentally conveying: [Ruyi, Ruyi.]

[The Wang Family's uncle and nephew have joined?]

[Yes, yes, everything went smoothly.] Lu Ran paused, then said, [I'm planning to visit Lantern Mist Divine Mountain, what do you think?]

Jiang Ruyi thought a bit, understanding Lu Ran's intention, and couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.

He really is a good brother.

From the moment Little Yuanxi ascended to the Heavenly Realm, everything was beyond the little one's control.

A triple leap!

From the First Level of Heaven Realm to the Second, Third, until finally ascending to the Divine Position, becoming a god!
