The Old Gods

Chapter 788 Enemies meet
"Huh?"

In the sky to the west of Jianshan Peak, Lu Ran hid his body and looked down at the first sect of Holy Spirit Mountain, feeling a little surprised.

I saw that the sect’s buildings were still well preserved, at least they didn’t look like they had experienced a brutal war.

Shouldn't it?

The executioners who descended from the heavens will definitely come here to search for Daxia Tianjiao. Can these disciples of Jianyi, who are so strong, persuade the executioners to retreat?

Also, where did everyone go?

Could it be that the whole family moved away to escape disaster?
Lu Ran was full of doubts as he flew slowly around the mountain. He did not dare to get too close for fear of being sensed.

The divine technique of Wolf Hide can indeed help him become invisible and conceal his breath, but he still has a physical presence.

The bits of frost and snow floating between heaven and earth are likely to be connected to the perception of the Ice Butterfly believers.

“What is that?” Lu Ran was startled.

As he continued to fly and change angles, he suddenly discovered that on the east side of the peak that protruded into the sky, there was an altar of considerable size, on top of which stood a human-shaped sculpture.

Although the face of the statue was rather blurry, Lu Ran recognized it at a glance; it was the god Jian Yi!

Sword One?

Lu Ran was suddenly suspended in the air, not daring to get any closer.

The huge sword statue must be twenty or thirty meters high. It stands proudly between heaven and earth with its back against the mountain and facing the east.

Below the altar, there were rows of devoutly kneeling figures. They were all women, most of them wearing light-colored long skirts with swords hanging around their waists.

If nothing unexpected happens, these should all be disciples of Jianyi?

No wonder the West Peak was so dead and deserted, it turned out that all the disciples were here.

A rough calculation shows that there are probably more than two hundred people.

In this scenario, the Sword One disciple is no longer important.

Lu Ran's eyes were fixed on Jian Yishizhu, and the more he looked, the more nervous he became.

picture!
so similar.
Although it is a stone sculpture, the long skirt and hair of the goddess Jian Yi are carved to be fluttering. She holds a sword behind her back in one hand, and holds the other hand in front of her, making a gesture.

Its blurred face adds a touch of mystery.

The most important thing is that this stone statue is exactly the same as the stone statues of the god Jian Yi scattered in the world.

seriously?
Lu Ran was a little dumbfounded.

Is it because the Jianyi disciples were so skilled that they carved the stone sculptures so well that it is hard to tell whether they are real or fake?
Did the god Jian Yi really drive his stone sculpture of his avatar to the Holy Spirit Mountain?

After thinking about it carefully, Lu Ran was deeply skeptical.

After all, the hands of the gods cannot reach into the Holy Spirit Mountain, and they cannot even communicate with ordinary disciples.

If the gods really opened the stone statue of their avatar into the mountain world, the Holy Spirit Mountain would not have developed to its current state.

There is no need for the executioners to come down to earth and restore order in the mountains.

Although this is true, this sword sculpture made by a god is indeed a bit intimidating!
If you want to thoroughly verify the authenticity, it is actually quite easy. If it is a clone of a god, its energy fluctuations must be significant.

At the moment, Lu Ran didn’t feel it.

He didn't dare get too close.
"Heh." Lu Ran hung in the air and watched for a long time, and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

What a beautiful Jianshan Peak!

You really can.

This group of sword cultivators were most likely able to survive thanks to this solemn stone statue?
Thinking secretly in his heart, Lu Ran lowered his gaze to the bottom of the altar and looked at the female disciples of Jian Yi.

Suddenly, Lu Ran's eyes focused!
The Jianyi disciple kneeling in the front was actually an acquaintance!

Dongfang Ning?
Lu Ran naturally remembered this name! It was also Yu Changsheng who told Lu and Deng about it after they escaped to the mountain lake.

It was this middle-aged woman who was determined to sabotage Deng Yuxiang's advancement that year, and she even activated her ultimate Sea Realm move, Frost Sky Sword Waterfall, in order to crush Deng Yuxiang to death on the spot.

Now, several years have passed, has she become the leader of Jianshan Peak?
Her position was very prominent, alone, kneeling at the front of the group of disciples.

Lu Ran's expression became increasingly gloomy. His eyes swept across a famous Jianyi disciple and he spotted a woman he had seen before - Leng Jin!
She was kneeling in the first row and seemed to have a high status inside the door.

Back then, it was this person who first discovered the place where Deng Yuxiang was promoted, and then sent slaves to search the mountain.

Lu Ran observed silently for a moment, then flashed away.

"Master, what's the situation?"

As Lu Ran appeared, Yu Changsheng was the first to ask.

Lu Ran also told a few people everything he had seen from afar.

Everyone looked strange when they heard this.

Jianshan Peak is ok?

Even the ancestors have moved out!
It does take some courage to slaughter Master Jian Yi's disciples in front of her.

"Honestly, that stone sculpture is so similar!" Lu Ran exclaimed, "Even if there is no fluctuation of divine power, I am a little worried that Jian Yi will possess the stone sculpture."

"Don't worry, little Sect Master Lu." Bai Rao said with a faint smile, "Master Jianyi doesn't care about the trivial matters in the mountain world."

Lu Ran looked at Bai Rao and couldn't help but blink.

The woman looked very dignified, which was very different from her usual state.

"What's wrong?" Bai Rao's eyes were dim, and her soft body pressed against him, "Master Lu, don't you recognize me?"

Lu Ran: “.” This is perfect!

"There are only more than 200 disciples of Jianyi, and no slaves?" Deng Yuxiang asked.

"The number of people is indeed a bit small." Lu Ran used his elbow to push Bai Rao away, not wanting to be a human steel pipe.

Jianshan Peak is a first-class divine sect!
They can even be called the "number one sect in the mountain world" and shouldn't have lost so many talented people.

Perhaps, Jianshan Peak is not as stable as it seems, or there are many people hiding in the dark?
Lu Ran pondered, "Anyway, the people over there at the altar are most likely all Sword One disciples. I dare not get too close. The peak is filled with frost and snow. I'm afraid there are Ice Butterfly believers hiding in the dark and on guard!"

He looked at Deng Yuxiang: "I saw that woman, Dongfang Ning!
She may be the leader of Jianshan Peak now, leading a group of disciples to kneel before the statue of the god."

Deng Yuxiang's eyes became colder and colder: "I'll go and ask directly."

"what?"

"I will descend on the altar as an executioner," Deng Yuxiang suggested. "If there are slaves, I will take them away directly, just like what I did before at Jiao Lieshan."

"Hmm" Lu Ran hesitated for a moment.

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly: "That's a good idea!"

Lu Ran turned to look at his own military advisor.

Yu Changsheng smiled and said, “The Jianshan Peak sect carved out the statue of the god, renovated the altar, and placed the statue of the god on the main peak, obviously to attract and intimidate the Heaven Realm executioners who came to search for him.

At least they wanted to use the power of the gods to ask for a chance to communicate with the executioner.

Since Jianshan Peak has such an attitude, why don’t we take advantage of their situation! It shouldn’t be a problem for the Nightmare Guardian to go and ask for the lowly servant.”

Listening to Yu Changsheng's analysis, Lu Ran nodded in agreement: "That makes sense! Since they want to make peace and live so much, can the Great Nightmare even ask them for magic weapons?"

Yu Changsheng laughed in silence and nodded repeatedly: "The Sect Master has really thought it through!"

The goshawk fights the rabbit with all his strength!
Before a major war, it is naturally best to weaken the enemy's strength.

"It's not comprehensive." Lu Ran waved his hand modestly, "I'm just more greedy than Mr. Conglong."

At the altar on the east side of the main peak of Jianshan Peak.

A middle-aged woman in a white dress was kneeling quietly at the feet of the Jian Yi Divine Statue.

Although she was kneeling, she looked majestic, with her long hair tied behind her head, revealing a cold and solemn face.

[The one kneeling in the front is Dongfang Ning?] Deng Yuxiang slowly flew towards the altar, transmitting the message in her mind.

Interestingly, Deng Yuxiang had never actually met her enemy.

[Yes.] Lu Ran hid his body and followed Deng Yuxiang.

When he explored on his own before, he was afraid of being discovered.

It’s different now!

Deng Yuxiang, in his heavenly state, powerfully descended upon Jianshan Peak in order to shock this group of sword cultivators.

In such a situation, if Lu Ran accompanied Deng Yuxiang in an invisible form and was noticed by the scouts, it would actually increase Deng Yuxiang's power.

"Master Dongfang, someone is coming from the south!"

"Master, someone is coming!" The disciples were a little panicked.

This is Jianshan Peak!
The other party came in such a threatening manner, his identity was obvious!
Dongfang Ning turned her head and saw a mysterious woman wearing a green straw raincoat and a green hat flying in the frost and snow.

Seems a little too young?

However, as soon as this thought came up, Dongfang Ning's expression changed!
As Deng Yuxiang conveyed her thoughts, Yan Qingsha suspended the effect of the magic weapon, and the terrifying aura of the towering sky realm rolled down like an overwhelming force.

Suddenly, there was complete silence around the altar.

"Master!" A trembling voice came from under Dongfang Ning's knees and under the stone slab, "There are people attacking from the south, two people in total..."

"Two people?" Dongfang Ning's expression was not very good to begin with, and now he was even more shocked.

She certainly didn't think that the Ice Butterfly disciple under her feet had made a mistake, but to everyone's naked eyes, there was only a woman in a straw raincoat!
"Yes, two people, one in front and one behind, less than one meter apart."

"Stay alert." Dongfang Ning said in a low voice and slowly stood up.

Deng Yuxiang stood high in the sky, his eyes swept across the solemn sword statue, and then he lowered his head to look down at the ants below.

"Senior, have you come down from heaven to carry out a mission?" Dongfang Ning raised his head and asked loudly.

Dongfang Ning also didn't know Deng Yuxiang.

Back then, she had only met Lu Ran, and had no idea which god the person who advanced in the mountains was, or what he looked like.

Deng Yuxiang looked at Dongfang Ning coldly.

senior?

You are a forty-year-old man, and you have the nerve to say that.

Dongfang Ning obviously noticed that the woman in the straw raincoat had an increasingly fierce look in her eyes, so she hurriedly said, "Senior, please don't be angry. There is no such thing as Xia Tianjiao on Jianshan Peak.

In recent years, my sect has seen a total of three geniuses, they either died or escaped, none of them stayed on the peak.

God, I swear in the name of Master Jian! My sect will never protect those evil beasts."

Dongfang Ning suddenly stopped talking, felt a chill, and took a step back.

High in the sky, the woman in the straw raincoat opened her eyes slightly wide, and her eyes were like two sharp knives, piercing straight into Dongfang Ning's heart!

What did you call him?
