The Old Gods

Chapter 711 Night Star Officer
In the dark room, the young man's deep voice was heard again: "Today, you will become my disciple."

"Okay!" He Qifeng said without hesitation.

Lu Ran stood up from the armchair and walked to He Qifeng: "Lift your head."

He Qifeng looked up and saw a hand pressing on his head.

Lu Ran continued, "At present, my warrior monk stone sculpture is being upgraded. After signing the inheritance contract with you, your body will also tremble.

Don't be embarrassed, it will help you blend in with the stone."

He Qifeng felt the warm palm on his forehead and responded softly, "Yeah."

"call!!"

A huge shadow appeared inside Lu Ran's body, looking down at the humble human beings at his feet.

Half a minute later, the trembling He Qifeng couldn't help but groan: "Ugh."

"Boom~"

A small black carp appeared out of nowhere, and Lu Ran grabbed the fish tail and brought it to He Qifeng's forehead.

The black carp shattered and turned into a strong vitality that flowed into the woman's delicate body.

After a few minutes, He Qifeng said in a trembling voice: "I didn't suffer too much trauma?"

In the darkness, Lu Ran's voice was heard: "I found a way to tear up the contract without getting hurt. Just now, when you were coordinating the divine power and tearing up the contract, the stone sculpture was protecting you."

He Qifeng was a little surprised and looked up.

Lu Ran straightened He Qifeng's messy short hair and his expression eased a lot: "Why didn't you ask in advance? Are you ready to be demoted?"

He Qifeng lowered his head silently.

Lu Ran sighed in his heart, leaned over to help her up, and walked to the armchair beside him: "Master Jiurou is at the peak of the Sea Realm, he must also join my sect.

If he also advances to the Heaven Realm, he may very well become the second Tufeng Master."

He Qifeng's face didn't look very good, and he suggested: "Should I call him over now?"

Lu Ran said, "There is only one position for the successor. He cannot tear up the contract without getting hurt. The Wine and Meat Master will be seriously injured."

Hearing this, He Qifeng groaned for a moment, then said, "Master Wine and Meat is used to enjoying himself, drinking and eating meat all the time, so it is almost impossible for him to be promoted to the Heavenly Realm.

Now that Wuji Peak has just been destroyed, the people of the Forbidden City are in a panic, and other surrounding forces may also be ready to make a move. This is the time to use people.

How about I have a good discussion with Master Jiurou and let him maintain the status quo?"

Lu Ran was willing to believe in He Qifeng's ability, and she valued the Forbidden City far more than he did, and would never be careless about such matters.

But Lu Ran still didn't want to leave any hidden dangers, so he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about the manpower issue. I will transfer two halls from Liyuan Sect to help you guard the Forbidden City."

"Okay." Seeing that Lu Ran had made up his mind, He Qifeng didn't say anything else.

Lu Ran added: "When you recover, go and have a good chat with Master Jiurou, clarify the interests, and ask him to become my disciple and serve you from now on."

"I'm fine." He Qifeng's voice became much softer, his body kept shaking, and he was indeed a little embarrassed.

Even though the room was pitch black, He Qifeng knew that he was trying to cover up his mistake, and Lu Ran could naturally see everything clearly.

He Qifeng tightly grasped the armrests of the armchair with both hands, and dug his toes into the ground, trying his best to maintain his decency.

Lu Ran also noticed her embarrassment and spoke a little faster: "Also, when you recover, I will give you the Xuanhuang Stick and Three Thousand Ripples Shoes."

"Give it to me?" He Qifeng looked towards the dark side.

"They are Master Tu Feng's magic weapons. You are Master Tu Feng's most promising disciple, so it is easier for you to gain their recognition. Your task is to persuade them with reason and emotion, and show your due demeanor so that they will recognize you as their master."

"Give me all of them?"

"Heh." Lu Ran snorted and turned his head to look to the side, "Aren't you my Feng Tiandi?"

He Qifeng slowly lowered his head and responded softly: "Yeah."

Everything that happened today made He Qifeng feel like he was falling into an icy cave.

From the beginning to the end, this young man who had always stood in front of her and stayed by her side made her heart feel at peace and warm.

Just as he had been doing since the two met.

Looking back at the time they spent together, it seemed like she never won.

But Lu Ran.
She didn't lose anything.

A bitter smile gradually appeared on He Qifeng's face.

"I will go to Liyuan Sect to dispatch some personnel, about two Sea Realm Hall Masters and sixty River Realm disciples." Lu Ran reached forward with one hand and summoned the bronze mirror. "You arrange for someone to meet them at the martial arts arena. I will take them there directly."

"Yes, Master." While He Qifeng was speaking, Lu Ran had already walked into the mirror.

He Qifeng stood up with the help of the table, staggered to the door, opened it, and said loudly, "Hou Yun."

"City Lord." In the night distance, a woman walked quickly towards them.

He Qifeng gave a few instructions before closing the door and returning to his seat.

In an environment where no one was around, the Lord of the Forbidden City finally let go of everything, curled up his long legs, and huddled himself in the armchair.

He buried his head and curled up into a ball.

However, I don’t know what she was thinking about. Her slightly shy expression disappeared without a trace, and her eyes became more determined.

Twenty minutes later, the training ground was empty.

A floor-to-ceiling mirror quietly opened, and a large group of people filed out and walked into the battlefield filled with water droplets.

"Master." Hou Yun came over immediately. Lu Ran looked at the eighteenth ranked Tianjiao of Daxia and nodded, "Hou Tianjiao, how are you?"

Hou Yun said ashamedly: "I am unworthy of the title of Tianjiao."

To this day, she is still at the peak of Jiang Realm, and is falling further and further behind Lu Ran and He Qifeng.

Perhaps her understanding was not deep enough, and her heart of Taoism could not support her to go further.

Or is it limited talent?
This possibility is small, but it is not impossible. However, strictly speaking, the peak of Jiangjing is already considered a talent.

Lu Ran’s standards are too high.

"These two are the masters of the Zhenyue Hall and Baizhan Hall of the Liyuan Sect." Lu Ran gestured to the two people behind him and introduced them, "Qin Zhen and Qin Zhan."

"Hou Tianjiao."

"Hou Tianjiao, nice to meet you." With Lu Ran's personal introduction, the two hall masters, although they were at the sea level, also greeted them politely.

Hou Yun hurriedly clasped his fists in return and greeted everyone one by one.

"You guys go with Hou Tianjiao and follow her arrangements, okay?" Lu Ran suddenly looked towards the southern sky.

There a bright star fell.

The so-called "stars" were not very big, with a diameter of only about half a meter, but the blue light was extremely bright, lighting up the night when they fell.

Is this a believer in the Star Official?
The gods and star officials are in the third row.

The Xingguan sect is a typical output sect, proficient in the four-series techniques of ice, fire, thunder and earth, and has quite similarities with the Yufu sect.

The difference is that this school pays more attention to single-target output and point-killing ability, which is much stronger than the Yufu school!
The most famous among them is the divine method - Tianshu Pojun.

The bright stars falling from the sky and landing on the enemy can be integrated into the enemy's water armor and other defensive techniques. When detonated, there is additional damage bonus!
It can be completely described as “every profession has its own specialization”.

However, the disadvantages of the Star Official faction are also obvious. All of this faction's magic is to summon the stars to fall from the sky.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this defect that the gods and star officials are relegated to the third row.

"It might be someone from the Star Picking Terrace." Hou Yun's face did not look very good, and he prepared for the worst.

"Star Picking Platform?" Lu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.

Hou Yun nodded and said, "A month and a half ago, twenty-eight Star Official disciples came to the Forbidden City."

Lu Ran understood.

Ever since Master Tu changed the sect's rules and rectified the sect's traditions, several powerful organizations have settled down near Wuji Peak.

Lu Ran knew about these small forces, but this Star Picking Platform was the first time he heard of it.

It turns out it’s been nearly two months.

Hou Yun continued, “We accepted them, hoping to make the Forbidden City stronger, but these people don’t follow the rules.”

"Oh?"

"This group of people are used to bullying others. Their bad habits are hard to get rid of. They bullied the weaker disciples in the city. Later, they had a conflict with the city guards. We punished them with sticks and drove them out."

Hou Yun paused and continued, "Later, they settled on a hilltop west of Wuji Peak and named it Zhaixingtai."

Lu Ran asked, "How many sea realms do they have?"

"There are two Sea Realm masters. Sect Master Pan of the Star Picking Platform is at the peak of the Sea Realm, and the Sect Master's sister is at the mid-Sea Realm. It was Sect Master Pan's sister that we punished with the cane at that time. It was an ugly scene."

Qin Zhan felt that he had heard a fairy tale, and he could not help but grin and said, "Cudgel punishment for the middle level of the sea realm?
It would be fine if you just beat her with a stick, but you also kicked her out?"

are you kidding me?
Isn't this a future trouble? Which sea realm can endure such humiliation?

Hou Yun said helplessly: "Wuji Peak has its own rules, and the Forbidden City also has its own rules. This is the foundation of our lives.

That woman's crime is not punishable by death, she did not kill anyone, she just bullied people in public in the teahouse."

"I'll go take a look." Lu Ran said casually, and his figure disappeared without a trace.

In invisible form, he came directly to the sky above the gate of the Forbidden City. The place was brightly lit by torches, and with the thick city walls, it had the charm of an ancient city.

As soon as he arrived, Lu Ran heard an angry man's voice: "I said, our Forbidden City will not accept outsiders in the near future, you can go back."

Is this voice Yin Tianlong?
Lu Ran flew sideways slightly and looked towards the city gate tower, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure.

Such a long time has passed, and He Qifeng's right-hand man is still Jiang Jing. He is falling further and further behind the goddess in his heart, and he is afraid that his dream will never come true in this lifetime.

It must be said that Yin Tianlong is really blind. He could fall in love with anyone else, but he had to fall in love with Emperor Feng Tian.

Is this kind of career-oriented woman the type to be into romance?
"Isn't your Forbidden City a compassionate shelter that accepts refugees?" A charming female voice came, quite pleasant to the ear.

Lu Ran looked over and saw a woman with a graceful figure and surrounded by stars.

She was beautiful, wearing a blue dress, with long black hair falling on her shoulders, she was very charming.

Two shining little stars formed an "X" shape in front and behind her.

It sets off her blue dress beautifully.

It also makes her eyes look like stars.

It was just that there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, which added a bit of unbridled flavor to this charming face.

She looked at the alert Forbidden City guards, and the smile on her face became more charming: "Why don't you accept us? This is against your rules.

Or did something happen to your Wuji Peak, huh?"

I haven’t written the third chapter yet. I’ll get up early tomorrow and write it.
