The Old Gods

Chapter 846 I'll Take Care of Everything

Tianya Residence, an underground secluded room.

As a gust of wind spread, the woman who was sitting cross-legged on the ground slowly opened her eyes.

Those beautiful eyes shone brightly, filled with a terrifying divinity.

"Shu~"

A phantom flashed by.

The young woman seemed to be getting impatient. Ignoring the fact that she had just advanced and her divine power was not yet stable, she teleported to the bedroom above.

There was a dull thud!
Yan Shuangzi immediately looked down, but the fog was too thick. She squatted down and then realized that the place where she was standing had been stepped on, leaving two shallow pits.

The solid ground was covered with a net-like pattern of cracks that spread outwards from her footprints.

Yan Shuangzi was somewhat annoyed, clearly not yet accustomed to her Heavenly Realm body.

She has always handled everything with carelessness, but now she obviously has to be more careful to avoid inadvertently harming the things around her, including people.

Yan Shuangzi carefully adjusted herself for a long time before daring to take a small step.

I sensed that there was no one in the bedroom.

He must have gone to the Heavenly Battlefield.

Come to think of it, how could he possibly wait for me at home for a whole month?
Yan Shuangzi suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Before she knew it, she had walked into a relatively private area of ​​the bedroom. Behind the screen was the bed, and the floor beneath her feet was covered with a soft fox fur carpet.

Yan Shuangzi stood quietly to the side of the screen, gazing in the direction of the bed.

Although he was not there, fast asleep.

Although she couldn't see anything in the thick fog.

Yan Shuangzi stood there for an unknown amount of time, her expression becoming somewhat hesitant.

Should I communicate with him telepathically?

Tell him the good news.

But if I do this, won't I disturb him? What if he's fighting?

Yan Shuangzi pursed her lips, her heart filled with inner turmoil.

He knows which day he started advancing, and he'll be counting down the days until he comes back. Even if there's some error, it'll only be a few days at most.

"Heh," Yan Shuangzi sighed deeply.

His best friend had accompanied him to the Heavenly Battlefield early on, protecting him and leading a Burning Gate squad to fight for him on the battlefield.

Now, I have finally reached the Heavenly Realm!

It's way too late.
Yan Shuangzi took a step back, leaving the soft carpet and stepping onto the ground, where she slowly knelt down.

Let's just wait here.

He'll always come back. No, that's not right.

Every time he comes back, it seems like his full-length mirror is always at the ends of the earth.

Yan Shuangzi pondered for a moment, then her figure flickered again.

At the edge of the sky, a phantom figure dressed in a green raincoat and blue hat appeared. The disciples of Huangque in the forest went forward to investigate, but were sent away again.

The woman in the straw raincoat knelt quietly, like a stone statue.

It might take two or three days, or perhaps five or six days.

Day and night alternate, the sky brightens and then darkens.

The thick fog between heaven and earth never dissipated, and the Tianque Pavilion disciples who patrolled day and night never saw the woman in the straw raincoat move, until...
"call!!"

A violent surge of divine power rippled out from the edge of the sky.

Yan Shuangzi suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the surging divine power.

"Sister?" A familiar voice entered my ears, feeling somewhat unreal, like a hallucination.

The young man's words, tinged with curiosity, completely pulled Yan Shuangzi back to reality:
"Why are you staying here?"

Yan Shuangzi opened her mouth: "I'll be on duty here, protecting the warriors of the Burning Gate as they advance."

"Oh, who is advancing?" Lu Ran stepped forward and helped the woman up.

Yan Shuangzi: "."

"What's wrong, sis? You seem a bit dazed." Seeing that the other person hadn't spoken for a while, Lu Ran couldn't help but ask with concern, "How long has it been since you slept?"

Not getting enough rest can indeed cause your brain to become rusty.

"I don't know who advanced." Yan Shuangzi said in a low voice, somewhat annoyed, "I came here to stand guard after I successfully broke through."

"Oh, congratulations!" Lu Ran said with a smile.

The two were very close, and Yan Shuangzi naturally saw his smiling eyes.

I imagine that he would also smile behind the half of his face hidden behind the blood crystal mask.

“That’s great!” Lu Ran continued, “Now that you’ve replaced the vicious dog and devoured the greedy wolf, you can not only teleport anywhere in the world, but also completely hide your identity.”

Yan Shuangzi looked into Lu Ran's bright eyes, lowered her gaze slightly, and nodded gently: "Mm."

"Puff puff puff~"

The sound of flapping wings grew louder as it approached.

Lu Ran turned his head and saw the Radiant Sparrow patrol team in the mist through a pair of phoenix eyes. He immediately waved and asked, "Who is advancing?"

"Reporting to the Sect Master, it is General Yan and General Feng!"

"Okay." Lu Ran nodded in satisfaction. "How long has it been?"

"It should have been eight or nine days."

"I understand, go ahead." Lu Ran was in a better mood and smiled at Yan Shuangzi. "When we go to Mogu Peak later, I need to personally release the sand sea to support the mountain caves for you."

Yan Shuangzi had long ago noticed that there was another powerful being not far behind Lu Ran.

She composed herself and asked, "Who is that person?"

“My mother’s subordinate, Wuya, is now also a member of the Burning Gate. You can call him General Wutian.”

"No Heavenly General." "You must be the Evil Shadow Protector."

"Does Wutian know me?"

"I have followed the young master for several days. I was impatient and asked myself when I could merge with the stone sculpture. The young master said that we should wait for the Evil Shadow Protector to advance before we go to Desert Peak together."

Yan Shuangzi pursed her lips and softly hummed in agreement.

"Let's go, Mo Gufeng!" Lu Ran quickly summoned a full-length mirror, stepped into it, and arrived at the end of the world.

Unfortunately, it was midday and the sun was blazing.

The trio missed witnessing the breathtaking sunset.

Yan Shuangzi finally saw Wuya clearly and was truly shocked by his appearance.

The overall appearance of the warriors from the Burning Gate is quite good.

Furthermore, there are three peerless beauties: Jiang Ruyi, Leng Xuanshuang, and Yu Changsheng!
Someone as vicious as Niu Zhengzheng was already the bottom line for the Ranmen, and now another one has arrived who's close to it.
He's not ugly, but well, he looks like a tough guy!
“Come, Wutian General.” Lu Ran called out. Over the past few days, he had circled around the Fiery God Mountain several times and easily cultivated the Nuo Sha God Sculpture to the first level of the Heavenly Realm.

Although we haven't reached the second level yet, let's first integrate the person and the sculpture.

Once we return to the Celestial Realm, we will focus on nurturing him.

"No Heavenly General?" Lu Ran called out again, turning his head to look at the cave entrance, only to find the other party staring at the sun.

The sun does not exist in the heavens.

Wuya hadn't seen the sun, moon, and stars for many, many years. He never imagined that he would see something so real yet so illusory in his lifetime.

The gods and demons were quite kind to the human believers of Holy Spirit Mountain; at least they were willing to create some natural landscapes to fool them.

But the question is, is this even possible?

Wuya scoffed!

Given the moral character of these gods and demons, would they be willing to do such a thing? So how exactly was this Holy Spirit Mountain formed?

“No Heavenly General!” Yan Shuangzi said coldly.

"Hmm?" Wuya turned his head and saw their gazes. He immediately turned around and walked over. "I'm sorry, young master."

Lu Ran joked, "Haven't been back in a while, do you miss this prison?"

"I'm wondering how Mount Shengling was formed," Wuya replied truthfully.

Lu Ran was taken aback.

Yes! People really do become oblivious to things they've seen before.

Lu Ran had grown accustomed to the mountains, rivers, plants, and trees of Holy Spirit Mountain, and even to the absence of birds, beasts, and insects in the forest.

How were Holy Spirit Mountain and the celestial realm above the sea of ​​clouds formed?

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ran temporarily suppressed his doubts and led Wuya and Yan Shuangzi to merge with the stone sculpture one after another.

He was quite adept at fusion, but releasing the Western Wilderness Sand Sea during the fusion process to reinforce the cave walls with sand was a first for him.

Fortunately, the process went relatively smoothly.

The two merged with the stone sculpture and entered Lu Ran's sculpture garden. Lu Ran immediately returned to Tianzhiya.

Just as the two generals Feng and Yan were advancing in rank, their divine power at the ends of the earth was abundant, no less than that of the Heavenly Battlefield.

Lu Ran was in poor condition, so he simply stayed in the sect and purified his Holy Spirit Qi on the spot.

The only downside is that he can't just wait around here; no souls will automatically be delivered into his mouth. But for safety's sake, Lu Ran is prepared to play it safe.

In just two or three days, the two successfully replaced the Nuo Sha God statue and the Evil Dog statue.

Without pausing for a moment, the two devoured the evil sculpture of the opera mask and the divine sculpture of the greedy wolf, respectively.

Just as Wuya succeeded and Yan Shuangzi was still devouring Tanlang, Lu Ran suddenly received a telepathic request.

Is this a nightmare?

[The Great Nightmare?] Lu Ran quickly found the source of the problem, which was closely connected to the Nightmare Stone Sculpture in the Sculpture Park.

"Something's wrong!" A solemn voice rang out.

Lu Ran's heart jumped: [What happened? Did something happen to your second team?]

"Not yet, but I just slew a Faceless Jade Venerable, and the Night-Slaying Blade is about to advance!" Deng Yuxiang's tone grew increasingly solemn. "Should I return?"

Without hesitation, Lu Ran immediately commanded: 【Find the nearest stone peak! If it's too far, forget it and advance on the spot! Concentrate!】

Deng Yuxiang was clearly hesitant about whether to return to the safe Holy Spirit Mountain and try his luck again.

Why do you say it's a matter of luck?
Whether it's a person or a divine weapon, once the advancement mode is activated, it means that they are now closely connected with the world they inhabit.

Relocating your base on a large scale at this time is not just a matter of taking risks, but it's cutting off this path to success!
The Night-Slaying Blade is a second-tier divine weapon!

Promotion opportunities are rare and precious!

If successful, how much will this sword enhance Deng Yuxiang's combat power?
[Wei Yun, has the Night-Slaying Blade attracted the fog?] Lu Ran hurriedly contacted the scouts of the second team.

"Reporting to the sect leader, they have been summoned! They are of very high caliber, with many mist tornadoes." Wei Yun responded immediately.

"call!!"

Lu Ran opened his palm, and a giant spider lily bloomed.

At the same time, Deng Yuxiang's hand holding the knife trembled slightly.

A teleportation array suddenly appeared on her tall figure, hovering above her head.

The fog was too thick; she couldn't see anything.

However, she could sense a figure falling down and landing steadily behind her.

A hand reached out from behind and gently placed on her shoulder. A deep and familiar voice came: "Focus on helping Zhan Ye advance. I'll take care of everything."

Deng Yuxiang's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

It was a sense of security I had never felt before.

It's something no one else can give her.

"Snapped!"

Deng Yuxiang gripped the hilt of the Night-Slaying Blade with both hands, lowered his head slightly, and closed his eyes tightly.
"Ah."
