The Old Gods

Chapter 882 The Eye Under the Fingertips

The integration of Huangfu Zhao and Dongting Divine Sculpture went quite smoothly and they were also incorporated into the sculpture garden.

Lu Ran's brain started buzzing again.

"Uh." He rubbed his head. He wasn't incapacitated, but he was a little upset.

Four or five days have passed since the Burning Gate members killed the evil god, Ghost Talisman Doll.

time does not wait!
It's time to unsheathe the sword against the next god or demon.

The last battle gave Lu Ran considerable confidence! Although there were some minor setbacks during the operation, overall, everything was still within the plan.

There is only one thing that needs special attention: the defensive power of the true god and demon is truly astonishing!
The stone body of the Ghost Talisman Doll was incredibly hard.

From this perspective, just how terrifying must the Faceless Jade Venerable's defensive capabilities be?
The method of killing enemies of a higher level is indeed necessary.
Lu Ran thought to himself and summoned an ancient bronze mirror.

"call!!"

The full-length mirror tears through time and space, forcefully piecing together a form.

Lu Ran stepped into the Luoxian Mountain of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Lord Immortal Sheep!" Lu Ran appeared inside the Falling Immortal Pavilion and plopped down on a bench. "Disciple has returned."

There was no response in my mind.

Lu Ran looked up at the outside of the pavilion and saw that the towering and earth-shaking statue of the immortal sheep was still standing firmly, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He paused for a moment, then said, "These past few days, Jiang Ruyi has been advancing in her cultivation level in the garden, which has made it difficult for me to move around. I only regained my senses today."

【Um. 】

Lu Ran immediately perked up and sat up straight: "Immortal Sheep, are you satisfied with what I have done?"

【improvise.】

Lu Ran: ? ? ?
improvise?

I led my team and slew an evil god without sustaining any damage! This is the first time in over forty years since the gods and demons descended to earth that the human race has wielded its sword against them.

This is a historic moment that will be recorded in history!
Just make do?

You cold-blooded sheep!

Is it really that hard to give me a compliment?
"This disciple will continue to work hard." Lu Ran pouted and got up to walk to the pavilion pillar.

He originally wanted to see Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, but he was completely attracted by other things.

In the far distance, the city was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a festive atmosphere!
Is there any good news?

Lu Ran was quite curious, so he became invisible and stood high in the sky.

As Ye Yucheng came into view, Lu Ran realized that what he had just seen was only the tip of the iceberg.

The entire city of Yeyu has changed its appearance; it's now bustling and vibrant!
this.?

Due to the special historical context, people had always lived in dire straits, and Lu Ran had never seen a celebration of this scale before.

Is it Chinese New Year?
Isn't it the ninth month of the lunar calendar now?
Furthermore, the festive atmosphere in Yeyu City, Cainan Province, isn't particularly strong. Even in the north, during the New Year or a wedding, the whole city isn't covered in red paper. No, wait!

Those are not red paper.

Is it firecracker residue that wasn't cleaned up properly?
Lu Ran was still confused when he heard the sound of firecrackers.

"Buzz~" The Cloud Sea Sword at Lu Ran's waist trembled slightly.

He understood immediately and returned to Luoxian Pavilion.

The Cloud Sea Sword Spirit slowly pieced together the illusory Qiao Wanjun, who was still as stunningly beautiful as ever, and looked at Lu Ran with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"Mom," Lu Ran called softly.

"Success."

"Hehe~" Lu Ran grinned, like a child asking for praise, "Am I amazing?"

Qiao Wanjun chuckled to herself.

She raised her illusory hand and gently stroked Lu Ran's short hair: "The entire Great Xia is celebrating for you."

"Oh, I see!" Lu Ran understood.

Then, the faint sound of firecrackers could be heard, and the streets and alleys were ablaze with red.
Lu Ran was overjoyed!
"Don't be arrogant." Qiao Wanjun said with a faint smile.

"Mmm." Lu Ran nodded repeatedly, then suddenly asked, "It spread so quickly?"

"After the Ghost Talisman Doll dies, the evil minions cannot be reborn. The soldiers guarding the Demon Cave will eventually have to clean it up."

"That's right, it can't be hidden."

"So, some people jumped out to steal the credit." Qiao Wanjun put her hand down.

"Who is it?" Lu Ran was also quite curious.

He had just been wondering how the Great Xia Dynasty announced the news when no one knew that it was the soldiers of the Burning Gate who killed the Ghost Talisman Doll.
Qiao Wanjun briefly explained the situation to Lu Ran.

"Hehe!" Lu Ran laughed in exasperation.

Jade talisman? Dry sea?
Okay, okay! Is this how you play it?
I risked my life on the front lines, and the people are grateful to you two?

"Don't worry," Qiao Wanjun said softly. "One day, everything will be revealed to the world."

Lu Ran grinned.

Seeing that he was still indignant, Qiao Wanjun couldn't help but laugh and say, "You didn't do all this for fame or fortune, did you?"

“At this stage, what I’ve done shouldn’t be made public anyway. The key is that bastard Yu Fu.” Lu Ran muttered to himself.

I was really furious!

Qiao Wanjun sighed inwardly. Han Hai, who was also a third-class deity, was being ignored by her son.

As a deity, Han Hai is merely an enemy within the same camp.

Lu Ran clearly harbored personal grudges against the jade talisman!
"Ruyi, how is it?" Qiao Wanjun changed the subject.

"She seized the divine position and transformed into an evil god." Lu Ran's attention was indeed diverted, and his desire to share exploded. "Her divine and demonic afterimages are so huge, so incredibly powerful!"
"I don't even dare to hug her, cough cough." Lu Ran's words came to an abrupt halt, and he awkwardly scratched his head.

Qiao Wanjun didn't mind and said, "With a true god joining you, your future actions will be much smoother."

"That's right, that's right."

"Who's the next target?"

"The raging sea dragon!" Lu Ran said without hesitation. "I came back this time to discuss the feasibility of this goal with Lord Immortal Sheep."

Last time I asked the Immortal Sheep, it told me…

At this point, a telepathic message suddenly appeared in Lu Ran's mind: 【Almost there.】

Lu Ran: "."

Now that the Burning Gate has gained an evil god, and Jiang Ruyi possesses a divine evil technique called the Bewitching Array, is it still impossible for them to hunt down the Flood Dragon?
The deep voice fell again: "If you and the other false god stone statues were even slightly grazed by the raging sea dragon, you would die."

Lu Ran fell silent, naturally knowing the terror of the method of killing beyond one's level.

Even your pride and joy, Jiang Ruyi, would be either killed or severely injured if struck by the raging sea dragon.

The cold words were like a bucket of cold water, drenching Lu Ran from head to toe.

Lu Ran remained silent for a long time, then looked up at the stone statue of the immortal sheep, his expression resolute: "We have to face this sooner or later. Let's fight before our side is exposed."

We have both mental strength and absolute speed.

"Once we can overcome this challenge, we'll be truly armed, and we'll have the confidence to slay any god or demon in the future!"

The technique of killing opponents of higher levels is the one that will allow the Burning Gate to gain a firm foothold!
The greater the threat it poses to the fairy stone sculpture, the greater the threat it poses to the gods.

Even if the members of the Burning Gate are careless and expose themselves in advance, with this method, the false gods of the Burning Gate can still fight to the death with all the gods and demons in the sky!

You are very determined.

Lu Ran nodded emphatically: "This disciple is also worried. If the Angry Sea Flame Dragon is placed in the back row, and several more gods and demons fall in front of it, what adjustments will the god and demon camp make?"

The Immortal Sheep sneered: "Heh, if you're not afraid of death, then go."

"Yes!" Lu Ran clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully to the divine statue. "This disciple will make some preparations and will go to the Flaming Dragon Demon Cave in the Angry Sea in a few days."

There was no response for a long time after he finished speaking.

Lu Ran waited patiently for a moment, and only after confirming that Lord Immortal Sheep had no further instructions did he turn his head and look at the woman standing with her hands behind her back.

Since the Ghost Talisman Doll's demise a few days ago, the Jade Talisman Minions have been unable to appear on the battlefield.

Because the minions of gods need a foundation for their existence in the world, they need to be supported by demonic minions or human believers!
Let's now focus on the Angry Sea Flame Dragon clan:
This race not only possesses extraordinary skills, but also serves as the "vehicle" for the Lie Tian minions!
Once the raging sea flame dragon falls, the raging minions will also be unable to appear on the celestial battlefield, which will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the god and demon faction!

The greater the losses, the closer Mother is to being released!

When it comes to life and death, even gods and demons need help.

The reason why countless gods and demons dare to so brazenly oppress the human race and so cruelly suppress the Cloud Sea Sect is that...
They just weren't pushed to the limit!

Faceless Jade Venerable, your offensive is not fierce enough.

I'll help you!
"What are you thinking about?"

"Huh?" Lu Ran came back to his senses.

Qiao Wanjun stood with her hands behind her back, looking into Lu Ran's eyes: "So ruthless."

"Sorry." Lu Ran quickly looked away.

Qiao Wanjun smiled, naturally knowing that the child's gaze was not directed at her: "Ranran, you have your own battle plan, and I don't want to influence you, but I have a suggestion."

"You mean?" Lu Ran asked curiously.

"When you participated in the fifteen-year city defense in the human world, you often encountered ghosts with ghostly eyes, didn't you?"

Lu Ran blinked, recalling a demon that existed deep within his memory.

Ninth-level evil demon·Ghost with ghost eyes!
A group of tall, thin, and emaciated creatures, named for their pair of emerald green eyes.

Lu Ran had fought in the Holy Spirit Mountain for many years and had never seen such a demon before. Its excessively weak strength made it difficult for this race to gain a foothold in the mountain.

Now, Lu Ran has been wandering the Heavenly Realm battlefield for a long time, but he has not yet visited the corresponding sacred mountain.

We'd almost forgotten about this thing!
"This clan is not strong, and its overall evil magic is not powerful." Qiao Wanjun changed the subject, "but there is one evil magic that is outstanding."

Lu Ran's heart stirred slightly, and he guessed, "The same name, the evil technique 'Ghost Eye'?"

Lu Ran still had some memory of this method.

Back when the city was guarded on the fifteenth night, whenever a ghost with piercing eyes descended, the leader of the Moon Gazing People would anxiously remind the trainees not to look into those emerald green eyes.

Once they fall for it, the trainees will be mentally manipulated.

They were even willing to offer their hearts and lungs, voluntarily presenting their bloody internal organs to the Ghost Eye Demon.

Qiao Wanjun nodded slightly: "I have seen the afterimage of the evil god, You Tong Gui. Its eyes almost completely bewitched me."

Lu Ran was quite surprised.

Qiao Wanjun added, "The mental strength of the human race is beyond your imagination. At the third level of the Heavenly Realm, it can even affect the gods and demons themselves."

Lu Ran immediately replied, "I know, Mr. Huangfu and I have tested it."

Qiao Wanjun was not surprised and slowly raised her hand: "Then you should know even more about the power of You Tong."

Lu Ran subconsciously closed his eyes, then quickly opened them again.

Qiao Wanjun extended her illusory finger and gently touched Lu Ran's pupil with her fingertip: "You Tong Gui Kong has a pair of terrifying eyes, but cannot use them well."

Those dark, unseen eyes were more suited to this place.

Lu Ran pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Yes."

Qiao Wanjun smiled gently, and her figure vanished without a trace.
