The Old Gods

Chapter 735: End of the Year
The sea of ​​clouds is outside.

An ancient bronze mirror quietly opened, and several figures emerged one after another.

In the quiet night, Lu Ran said nothing, released the crow on his arm, and nodded slightly to the two guardians.

The team disbanded silently, and even Qiao Yuanxi left tactfully so as not to disturb his brother and sister-in-law's reunion.

Lu Ran tiptoed into the house, stood beside the screen, and saw the fairy sleeping soundly on the bed.

Until this moment, he seemed to smell the fragrance of jasmine.

Although the fairy jasmine tree outside the window is always there, it always sends a faint floral fragrance.

The sharp senses of the powerful sea realm are certainly not for show. The cold fairy quietly opened her beautiful eyes and saw the slender figure standing beside the screen.

"You're back." Jiang Ruyi got up from the bed, lightly stepped on the soft fox fur carpet with her toes.

"Hmm." Before Lu Ran could figure out which one was fairer, he subconsciously opened his arms and hugged the warm and soft girl.

Fairy Jiang has a very cold personality and rarely takes the initiative.

Lu Ran suddenly felt grateful for the one-month separation and whispered, "Miss me?"

"Hmph." Jiang Ruyi leaned forward slightly and touched Lu Ran's forehead unwillingly.

Lu Ran smiled and put the magical instrument, Ice Heart Bracelet, on her wrist: "I miss you, too."

Jiang Ruyi left someone's arms, took off his coat, and walked to the closet:

"Everything is going well?"

"The jade talisman and stone sculpture have both been promoted to the heavenly realm, so of course everything went smoothly." Lu Ran followed like a shadow, hugged the fairy from behind, buried his head in her neck, greedily sniffing the faint fragrance.

Jiang Ruyi hung up her coat, her cheeks gradually turning red: "Where did you go?"

"Nine Heavens Cliff, Milky Way Waterfall."

"Why don't you ask me to go and take a look?" Jiang Ruyi said dissatisfiedly.

Lu Ran held her delicate earlobe and said vaguely: "Now? If you want to go, anytime."

Jiang Ruyi's cheeks became more and more rosy, and she slowly closed her beautiful eyes: "Maybe later."

"Yes." Lu Ran picked up the fairy and walked towards the big bed.

The evening breeze is blowing,

The jasmine flowers outside the window were blown gently.

In the quiet night, the subtle sound of flowers and leaves rubbing against each other can be heard from time to time.

After nearly a month of fighting, Lu Ran fell into a deep sleep, immersed in the intoxicating fragrance.

Sleep until daylight.

It wasn’t too bright, and on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Yunhai Cliff was covered by dark clouds again.

The dazed Lu Ran was awakened by the sound of rain.

He opened his sleepy eyes and reached to the side. There was no residual warmth in the quilt, which meant she must have been gone for a long time.

Lu Ran looked out the window lazily and had no intention of getting up.

The rain at the end of the year looks cold. Well, just like Xiao Ruyi.

Lu Ran was in a daze until he heard the sound of light footsteps.

He turned his head and saw a red figure standing next to the screen. She was wearing a noble phoenix robe, which made her look like a high and mighty empress. The look in her eyes that looked down on everyone made Lu Ran's scalp tingle.

What's going on here?
Jiang Ruyi said calmly, "I just visited Senior Lu, and he said that the blood pool is to the west of Jiutian Cliff."

Lu Ran’s heart tightened.

It turns out that he is here to call for punishment!
Jiang Ruyi walked to the bedside and looked at Lu Ran gently: "You don't plan to tell me?"

"I was planning to do that. If Yuan Xi hadn't come to find me, I would have told you today." Lu Ran said hurriedly.

The Phoenix Robe Empress stared at Lu Ran quietly for a while, then slowly reached down with her slender hand and stroked Lu Ran's face: "This Phoenix Robe was given to me by you."

Lu Ran nodded as a matter of course.

She whispered, "You gave me the ability to distinguish truth from lies."

"Uh" Lu Ran looked embarrassed. What does it mean to shoot oneself in the foot?

and many more!

Lu Ran suddenly realized that his soul was not trembling, which meant that Feng Yi Jiuxiao Robe did not cast any spell at all.

Oh, she cheated me!

Lu Ran's face turned bitter, like a steamed bun.

Jiang Ruyi scolded: "I won't stop you, I just want you to let me know."

"Yeah, I'll remember that, next time."

Lu Ran said, and simply embraced the Phoenix Robe Empress in his arms: "Hey, don't scold me. Sister Yuxiang scolded me outside, and you scolded me when you get home. I really..."

"Hehe~" Jiang Ruyi finally failed.

You sound so pitiful, who would dare to really scold you?

Lu Ran asked again: "How is Ya Nei doing recently? I was too busy last night and didn't have time to ask."

"You!" Jiang Ruyi's face turned red and she patted his shoulder lightly.

"So what's going on inside the cliff?" Lu Ran was very thick-skinned and tried frantically to change the subject.

"It's relatively peaceful. Two mermaids sneaked in, and there was also a sea-flaming dragon. We killed them all. Their souls are in Yingyi's rebirth money, waiting for you to absorb them."

Lu Ran frowned slightly: "Well, I'll go out to the sea later to see the situation of the Moli Team and the Sea Shark Team."

"Okay." Jiang Ruyi said again, "The nine disciples I selected have almost completed the tests and can be transferred to become followers of the Evil Mirror."

Lu Ran nodded immediately.

Lu Ran has absolute confidence in Fairy Jiang's personal abilities, not to mention that she has a phoenix robe to assist her. After letting a few people become followers of the Evil Mirror, they can be assigned to other places. Should the Forbidden City, Tiangang City, and Jingxian Mountain also place an Evil Mirror disciple in the Soul Locking Mountain?
It seems a bit dangerous.
But thinking from another angle, sending a disciple of the Evil Mirror to the Dragon God General could also increase the chances of survival of the Eight Riders of Longxiong?

Jiang Ruyi watched Lu Ran in deep thought quietly, and her eyes gradually softened.

Until Lu Ran asked, "By the way, how is Chang Ying doing?"

Speaking of Chang Ying, Jiang Ruyi praised her highly: "Very good, she is a qualified leader. She has led the disciples of Xingkong Hall to integrate into the Burning Sect, often goes to Feixian Hall for pilgrimage, and also keeps the hall members in check very well."

Lu Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

After the Nightmare Guardian, Chang Ying also won the praise of Madam Ranmen.

How outstanding is this dark-skinned girl who used to be heartless?
Jiang Ruyi added: "She lives in our Yunhai Residence, in Niu Zhengzheng's house outside the backyard."

"Have they reconciled?"

"They didn't break up in the first place, but their fate was forcibly severed by the fortune sticks." Jiang Ruyi smiled, "Didn't you renew their relationship?"

"That's it!" Lu Ran was very satisfied.

As the saying goes: It is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage.

We are also doing good deeds~
Lu Ran sat up and said, "Let's go and transfer the jobs of those nine disciples first."

"Notify Xuan Shuang and ask her to bring the person to the meeting hall."

"Okay." Lu Ran got up and changed his clothes into a loose white robe. Then he turned on a floor-to-ceiling mirror and went to the meeting hall with Jiang Ruyi to wait.

In a short while, Leng Xuanshuang brought nine disciples of the Ran Sect into the huge hall.

There are five men and four women, most of them are in their thirties or forties. Just from their faces, they seem very loyal and reliable.

"Master!"

"Master." Guard Xuanshuang led his men to the center of the hall and saluted respectfully to the master behind the desk.

After Jiang Ruyi encouraged him for a while, she signaled Lu Ran that he could start.

These people were originally Lu Ran's followers. By severing the contract this time, Lu Ran could solve the problem from the perspective of God and directly let Shensu unilaterally sever the contract.

It won't cause any trauma to anyone.

Soon, nine new disciples of Niejing emerged.

What Lu Ran didn't expect was that Jiang Ruyi had already arranged the destinations for these people.

She left behind a female disciple so that she wouldn't have to ask Senior Lu Yuan and General Qin for help when she traveled to other places in the future.

The remaining eight disciples were divided into groups of two and stationed at Yunhai Cliff, the Forbidden City, the Liyuan Sect, and Jingxian Mountain respectively.

Lu Ran thought for a moment and said, "I need someone to station in a dangerous area, mainly to collect the Holy Spirit Qi and to cooperate with me, the Dragon God of the Ran Sect, to carry out the mission."

"Disciple is willing to go!"

"Disciple, go!" Six or seven of the nine people spoke at the same time, and the rest quickly responded.

Dragon General?
Jiang Ruyi realized that the person he was talking about should be Wang Longxiong.

She hesitated for a moment and looked at a burly man with a flat head: "Jingwu, you go."

"Yes!" The man numbered Mirror Five immediately accepted the order.

Mirror, taken from the mirror in the evil magic Mirror Flower Moon.

Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran and said, "Jing Wu was originally a Red Scarf disciple, so he is more suitable."

"Okay." Lu Ran naturally had no objection, "I'll give you another Ghost Moon Fox to help you predict crises and heal injuries and illnesses."

Lu Ran summoned the Ghost Moon Fox on the spot and said, "You can't fall in love with it!"

Mirror Five: “.”

Afterwards, Lu Jiang and the other person led the team to various places in the mountain realm, and also visited the various generals of the Ranmen who were stationed outside.

After this trip, Lu Ran really felt a great sense of accomplishment!

It feels like I have conquered half of the country.

Meanwhile, over at Jingxian Mountain, Lu Ran also received good news: Ran Clan’s number one killing god, General Luo, was about to reach the bottleneck of his cultivation.

About to be promoted to the peak of the sea realm!

At the end of the year, good things really happened one after another.

By the time Lu Jiang and the others had arranged everything and returned to Yunhai Cliff, it was already afternoon. Lu Ran did not stop and went out to sea to harvest and rebuild the black carp and sea mermaid teams.

What he didn't expect was that when he was busy, Yu Changsheng, who had been in seclusion on the cliff, sent a message.

[Mr. Conglong?] Lu Ran asked in confusion, [Moli Xiesu didn't advance either?]

[Master, Cai Shen will contact me through the magic weapon and say that Master Yun has come out of seclusion! ]

【Ah?】 Lu Ran was startled.

Yun Qianzhou has come out of confinement?

Alliance Leader Yun was promoted to the Heavenly Realm in mid-winter last year. Now it is the end of the twelfth lunar month. If you count carefully, he has been in seclusion for more than a year.

[Master, the God of Color said that Master Yun is ascending to heaven! We can't stop him. ]

Lu Ran looked solemn and immediately summoned the bronze mirror.

With one step forward, he had arrived at the forest ten kilometers away in the north of Misty Lake.

This world is also covered with dark clouds.

Lu Ran looked up and saw a strange scene. There were many figures flying in the sky, obviously the owners of the various islands of the Qianzhou Islands.

And in the sky at the top, there was a man with white phoenix wings on his back.

His messy long hair fluttered in the wind, his face was expressionless and his eyes were closed, and he turned a deaf ear to everyone's attempts to keep him.

Keep flying upwards.
