The Old Gods

Chapter 831 Legend
"Won't you feel guilty going to see him like this?" Lu Ran slowly flew down into the sea of ​​mist, his swords sheathed.

Yin Yan's already pale hands were clenched tightly, devoid of any color.

"Who killed him?" Lu Ran asked.

"What do you want?" Yin Yan's voice was icy and chilling. "Do you still want to help me get revenge?"

Lu Ran didn't respond, but repeated, "Who killed him?"

Yin Yan's expression shifted repeatedly before she finally uttered a few words: "Faceless Jade Venerable! Ice Rose, Thorn Rose!"

Lu Ran frowned slightly.

He could understand that the faceless jade deity was the murderer.

However, there is the seventh-rank deity, Thorn Rose, and its opposite, the seventh-rank evil god, Ice Rose.
Once she made up her mind to speak, Yin Yan opened up completely: "The ice roses and thorn roses on the sacred mountain only cared about amplifying the Cold Plum - Ice Plum Demon Queen, ignoring the lives of human believers, turning the battlefield into a frozen wasteland."

He was frostbitten! His speed was restricted, and his skull was crushed by the Faceless Jade Venerable.

Yin Yan clutched her hair, tearing at it in anguish: "I retrieved his remains! I retrieved them!"
But then the Tree-Faced Demon took him away, and his body was drained, becoming nourishment for the Tree-Faced Demon clan!

Lu Ran remained silent, listening to the heart-wrenching screams.

Indeed, she had no way out.

Whether it's the direct culprit, Faceless Jade Venerable, or the indirect culprit, Thorn Rose - Ice Rose's henchman.

Or perhaps it's the tree-faced demon clan that desecrates corpses.
Whom can Yin Yan seek revenge against?

How could she possibly move those demonic minions?

If you want to vent your anger, the only way is to kill the Faceless Jade Venerable day and night.

But wouldn't doing this just be helping those gods and demons who killed their lovers, making them work for their enemies their whole lives?

It's truly suffocating.

She must be suffering terribly while she's alive.

"Tell me what to do. But what can I do?" Yin Yan seemed deflated, collapsing into the thick sea of ​​fog.

My emotions, which I had just managed to compose, crumbled again.

"I killed him. It was me." The whispered words coming from the sea of ​​fog were heartbreaking.

Lu Ran slowly said, "Whoever the enemy is, then kill them."

"Hehe, hehehehehehehehehe!"

The woman's choked murmurs turned into snickers, and then gradually into maniacal laughter.

Lu Ran said in a deep voice, "What, you don't want to?"

"call!!"

A gust of eerie wind swept over us.

Lu Ran suppressed his heart pounding and stood firmly.

A pale face materialized before him, its sinister features staring directly into Lu Ran's eyes: "You want me to destroy the Sickwood Divine Mountain? And then storm the Third Heaven?"

Lu Ran didn't back down, looking back at the other person: "You're not afraid of death. Killing one breaks even, killing two is a profit."

Yin Yan suddenly turned her head and looked towards the southeast.

That place is clearly in the direction of the Sick Tree Sacred Mountain.

Lu Ran understood her gaze; it was filled with an intense, unyielding hatred.
"Wait!" Lu Ran immediately said.

Yin Yan turned to look at Lu Ran with extreme malice.

"What I just said was just to give you a general direction," Lu Ran said seriously. "I spared your life, not so you could go and deal with a few small fry."

Are the real enemies those small fry?
Of course not, it is the Jade Venerable himself, the true form of gods and demons!

"You want me to risk my life for you?" Yin Yan looked at Lu Ran coldly, naturally knowing that Lu Ran had ulterior motives.

Her thick defenses and the resistance that came from within were obvious to everyone.

Lu Ran, however, did something unexpected.

He drew his sword, Liangye, from his waist and said, "I want to create a beautiful world, and I want to stay with her and live a peaceful life with her."

Yin Yan's eyes changed, the sinister look gradually faded, and she stared blankly at Lu Ran.

The two are the same kind of people, and they have cultivated the same divine weapons and domains.

Yin Yan wouldn't question Lu Ran's perspective at all.

"And you want to avenge your lover. We have the same goal, don't we?" Lu Ran continued.

Yin Yan spoke again, her voice still icy: "You think that just because you could easily shatter the Faceless Jade Venerable, you're qualified to challenge gods and demons?"

"It's man-made."

"Heh." Yin Yan let out a cold snort.

"I'm very young," Lu Ran shrugged. "What do you think?"

Yin Yan fell silent.

The young man in the straw raincoat before us certainly cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes.

He was already a towering Celestial Realm expert at such a young age, and what was even more terrifying was his astonishing combat skills!
Yin Yan asked herself honestly, there was absolutely no way she could have dislocated one of the Faceless Jade Venerable's legs in a single encounter.

It's even less likely that a few attacks would be enough to kill the Faceless Jade Venerable!
This mysterious young man in a straw raincoat was terrifyingly strong.
"It seems you have nothing left to lose," Lu Ran said softly. "You've even just died once, why not give it a try?"

Yin Yan silently looked at the young man, then suddenly said, "There were once powerful human races in the Heavenly Realm, standing very high, leading like-minded people, trying to fight against fate."

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow slightly.

He realized that he seemed to be listening to her story.

Yin Yan: "Do you know what happened to those people?"

Lu Ran nodded slightly: "The leader was taken away by the gods and demons, the entire sect was scattered, and the disciples were thrown into various sacred mountains and placed under strict guard."

Yin Yan was quite surprised: "You've heard the story of the Cloud Sea Sect?" Lu Ran's heart was filled with complicated emotions.

On this battlefield far from home, he hears a stranger's story about his mother.

This feeling.
Lu Ran quickly composed himself and asked, "Are those people on the sacred mountain you're on?"

“There was once.”

"Did it ever happen?" Lu Ran's heart sank.

“That’s him.” Yin Yan lowered her head, a bitter smile appearing on her lips.

Lu Ran was taken aback at first, then his face turned completely gloomy.

In the Celestial Battlefield, the status of human believers is indeed not high.

Unlike on Holy Spirit Mountain, where the executioners who descended from the sky possessed overwhelming strength, and the great demons of the sea realm could not represent the evil god, they naturally bowed and scraped before the human disciples.

Lu Ran initially thought that the Rose of the Ice Rose minions on the sacred mountain were indeed amplifying the Cold Plum-Ice Plum Demon Queen clan, so he changed the battlefield to a snowy wasteland.

But what if Yin Yan's sweetheart is a former subordinate of Yun Hai?
Was there any intentional element involved in this?
"What's wrong?" Yin Yan looked at the young man and naturally noticed his unusual behavior.

"What kind of believer is he? What's his name?" Lu Ran asked.

“A follower of the Mountain King, Zheng Qingshan.”

Lu Ran placed one hand on his waist, feeling the Cloud Sea Dust Clear Sword tremble slightly.

The sword spirit's energy flowed through the hilt, and Lu Ran sensed a faint sadness.

"What happened?" Yin Yan suddenly placed a hand on Lu Ran's shoulder. "Do you know him?"

Lu Ran opened his mouth, his lower half mask slightly concealing his expression: "I've heard the story of the Cloud Sea Sect, and I greatly admire those seniors."

Hearing such tragic news is truly heartbreaking.

Yin Yan's hand, which was resting on Lu Ran's shoulder, clenched slightly.

"You're not from the Cloud Sea Sect?" Lu Ran asked, but he already knew the answer in his heart.

If the other party were a former subordinate of Yunhai, Yunhai Sword would have come out to acknowledge him long ago.

His dark, brilliance was intensely aggressive as he scrutinized Lu Ran's eyes, as if trying to discern something: "When I ascended to the Heavenly Realm and came to find him, the Cloud Sea Sect had already been destroyed."

Lu Ran nodded: "Do you also know where Yun Hai's former subordinates are?"

Yin Yan frowned deeply: "What exactly do you want?"

“As I said, I have long admired the Yunhai Sect. The disciples of the Yunhai Sect should be like-minded people like me.”

Yin Yan's voice suddenly rose slightly: "They have already failed! They have been scattered and are being monitored by all sorts of gods and demons! If you go to find them, wouldn't you be walking into a trap?"

Lu Ran: "."

Yin Yan slowly withdrew her hand, saying each word clearly: "Young man, you are dishonest."

"Ok?"

"Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with the Cloud Sea Sect?" Yin Yan asked.

"Hmm," Lu Ran hesitated for a moment.

Yin Yan hates gods and demons so much that she probably wouldn't betray them.

It does her no good.

Lu Ran also believed that he had enough means to bring such a powerful person into the Ran Sect.

Yin Yan waited quietly, when suddenly she heard the young man ask, "Do you know the leader of the Cloud Sea Sect?"

“Sect Leader Qiao,” Yin Yan pondered, “disciple of Sword One, Qiao Wanjun.”

"It seems that Senior Zheng mentioned it to you."

"Yes, Qingshan admires her very much." Yin Yan said softly, and when she mentioned this special name, she couldn't help but think of her lover's almost devout appearance.

Being in the sacred mountain area, Zheng Qingshan's every move was being monitored, and he couldn't reveal too much.

In the few times he spoke of the sect leader, his face was filled with reverence whenever the name was mentioned.
Yin Yan was also eager to see what kind of person this person, whom she respected so much and who stood at the pinnacle of humanity, was.

"Hmm." Lu Ran nodded secretly.

"What?" Yin Yan frowned at the young man, having had enough of being riddles.

Unexpectedly, the young man blurted out, "I am her son."

Yin Yan was stunned!
Lu Ran nodded slightly, indicating that he had not misheard.

"You...you are..." Yin Yan was indeed shocked.

She never had the chance to see that legendary figure in person, but unexpectedly, she met that man's son.
Yin Yan finally understood why the young man could advance to the Heavenly Realm at such a young age and possess such terrifying combat power.

Sect Master Qiao is a being who stands at the pinnacle of the human race.

It is an existence that even countless gods and demons fear!

Isn't it normal for her twenty-year-old son to ascend to the heavens?
No wonder he wanted to find Yunhai's old subordinates!

Did he come with orders from Sect Leader Qiao?
Is he going to recruit Yunhai's old subordinates to carry on his mother's business?
"So, do you know where Yunhai's old subordinates are still?" Lu Ran asked softly.

"Qingshan has a close friend who once visited the Sickwood Divine Mountain. This friend is a disciple of Dongting named Huangfu."

Huangfu!

This was the second time Lu Ran had heard this name.

A follower of Dongting, it matches up!
Yin Yan continued, "It is said that Huangfu is located in a sacred mountain in the southeast, which is also the sacred mountain where the Dongting-Ziting Demon Peng minions reside."

"Oh?" Lu Ran's eyes lit up.

So the sacred mountain of the Dongting sect is actually further southeast?
At the beginning of the month, I'm asking for some monthly votes.
