The Old Gods

Chapter 900 Ruthless
After Yan Shuangzi rejoined the team, Lu Ran returned to Holy Spirit Mountain immediately.

Inside Tianya Residence, Lu Ran summoned the Shadow Guards, gave them a few instructions, and then turned on a full-length mirror for them.

It was unknown where the Wang family uncle and nephew had been teleported to by the gods, nor when they would arrive at the agreed location. Lu Ran could only send people to Qianhua Ridge to wait for them.

After finishing all this, Lu Ran and the soldiers in the sculpture park were spiritually connected:

Are you all ready? The day after tomorrow is the fifteenth of the lunar month, and we must present our dear gods and demons with a generous gift.

He Yingcai was secretly excited. She knew that this time it was her turn!
As expected, the sect leader's voice transmission came again: "Have you figured out a battle plan against the Shadowy Threads?"

Lu Ran's telepathic communication was a one-to-many exchange, and the soldiers naturally understood this and did not respond.

Only Jiang Ruyi's soft voice remained in Lu Ran's mind: "It's not that complicated, just get through it."

Lu Ran: "."

As expected of Lady Ranmen, she casually decided the life or death of an evil god.

Since becoming a believer, Jiang Ruyi has undergone two major changes.

One such instance was when she took her first step towards godhood and advanced to the Jiang Realm. Under the rules of the god-demon system, that gentle girl who treated the world with kindness passed away.

She became cold and unapproachable.

But that's when she's facing the world; as for Lu Ran, she remains the same.

The second major change was that she truly became a god.

She suddenly seemed much more assertive; even her soft-spoken words sounded like commands.

At least it can be considered an order.

Or perhaps her tone hadn't changed, and it was all the work of the divine position.

Regardless, her attitude towards Lu Ran remained unchanged. She even abandoned everything at the edge of the world, trying her best to step down from her pedestal, and stubbornly asked him when he could adapt.

This time, however, Lu Ran found it difficult to overcome the towering mountain that stood before him.

Ugh.
Lu Ran shook his head and sighed.

I really don't know when I'll be able to sit with her in the courtyard again, chat and look at the stars.

If all else fails, how about inviting Deng Shao along on your next date with Xiao Ruyi?
Let Deng Yutang roar from afar to continuously increase his fighting spirit.

Thinking of this, Lu Ran's expression became somewhat strange.

Anyway, he has sharp ears and can hear Deng Shao's roar from a long distance, while Jiang Ruyi doesn't have dog ears and can't hear sounds that far away.
"With the Mad Immortal by our side, things are different now." Jiang Ruyi said softly when Lu Ran didn't respond for a long time.

【Oh.】 Lu Ran shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, and transmitted his voice, 【We still need to use a purification method. The Thread Shadow is not to be underestimated; its entire body is coated with poison.】

[Hmm, I'll be in one group with Xuan Shuang, Mad Immortal, Bai Tianjiang, and Elder Lu will be in another group, and Martial Emperor and Yan Tianjiang will each be in a solo group. That should be enough.]

[Are four groups enough?] Lu Ran hesitated.

"Now that we have sufficient output, quality is more important than quantity," Jiang Ruyi explained. "The strength of the 'Puppet Shadow' attack lies in its wide-range and meticulously detailed area-of-effect attacks."

If we have too many people, they might get pierced through by countless threads.

This is a battle plan that I, Nightmare, Conglong, and Huangfu jointly devised and reached a consensus on.

[Okay.] Lu Ran no longer hesitated, his energy surged in his hand, and he summoned a full-length mirror.

One step in, and you enter the first realm.

He had already learned the location of the sacred mountain where Qian Siying was from Huangfu Zhao, and immediately headed straight for the southeastern region.

Under the dim light, Lu Ran concealed his figure, his flash covering tens of kilometers in a single movement.

Soon, he arrived at his destination and saw a sea of ​​bamboo in the distance.

A long-lost sense of freshness wafted over, completely out of place in the cruel battlefield environment, which amazed Lu Ran.

The bamboo and trees reach for the sky, thick and towering, certainly not ordinary things.

The bamboo forest from the Nine Bamboo Sect greatly limited the Faceless Jade Venerable's ferocious rampage.

Bamboo spirits wearing bamboo leaf hats and bamboo leaf coats can be seen everywhere in the forest. Compared to the silly bamboo spirits, the female phantoms that spread out on their bodies seem much wiser.

Seventh-rank deity/demon, Nine Bamboo - Bamboo Wood Demon!
As we all know, the ground of the Heavenly Battlefield is made of pure energy. So how do the bamboo trees stand so steadily?

The answer is that bamboo forests grow in a muddy swamp.

From afar, the sacred mountain appears so fresh and elegant, but up close, it is utterly filthy.

Thick mud blankets the area within a radius of tens of kilometers around the sacred mountain.

In the swamp, one can see small, thin figures leaping and bounding about as if walking on flat ground.

Demonic Swamp Doll!

The two sides of the same body of the fourth-level deity, the clay statue.

There are four types of dolls in the Great Xia Demonic Faction.

To this day, Lu Ran has personally witnessed three types.

If the eyeless, pale-faced ghost doll is the most sinister, then the sand doll, which can fill corpses with sand and control the dead, is infamous.

So the mud dolls that frolic and roll around in the mud are the dirtiest.

Each of the clay figures is about the size of a four- or five-year-old child, with no facial features, only the outline of the face.

They weren't wearing any clothes either. Well, okay, the little guys were covered in mud, so they didn't need clothes.

The children darted about in the mud like fish in water, occasionally throwing out a huge mud bomb that caused a violent explosion.

Suddenly, the earth shook violently.

A muddy river surged and churned, toppling large swathes of bamboo forest, which were swept away and shattered by the mud.

However, the mud dolls among them were completely unharmed. They swam around rapidly and swarmed forward, grabbing a faceless jade statue and bombarding it relentlessly!
One mud bomb after another blasted the faceless jade statue deep into the mud, as if trying to bury her alive and drown her in the muddy river.

For a moment, Lu Ran even felt a little sorry for the Faceless Jade Venerable.

This tribe is dressed in pure white, spotless, exuding nobility from head to toe.

On the other side of the Bamboo Forest Sacred Mountain, they were covered in mud, disheveled, and utterly defiled.
Lu Ran grinned as he watched.

Isn't the Faceless Jade Venerable capable of turning the terrain into jade?

Why did my abilities fail in the muddy river? Was it because the river was flowing too fiercely?

"puff!!"

The mud exploded!

Lu Ran turned his head and saw a huge faceless jade statue suddenly fly out of the river, holding four or five mud dolls in its hands and crushing them violently!

As the giant hand clenched into a fist, endless mud splattered outwards from between its fingers.

"Holy crap!" Lu Ran felt a chill run down his spine.

Although the dolls were crushed to death, the scene wasn't bloody at all, because there was no blood, just mud.
But isn't this too brutal?
As Lu Ran was secretly grumbling to himself, a chain suddenly lashed out.

Chains are clearly meant to imprison people.

However, the chains that struck the Faceless Jade Venerable carried astonishing destructive power, actually tearing a crack in her body.

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a bald man with eight arms, hanging on a bamboo pole like a monkey.

The Demon Lord of Prisons?!

His four arms on the left side were holding a thick bamboo log, while his four arms on the right side were swinging the chains out fiercely, striking the faceless jade statue.

Behind him, many other Prison Demons wielded chains and swung through the forest.

Just like those apes!
Today, Lu Ran has truly had his eyes opened.

Besides the Demon Lord, there were also many beautiful women wearing sexy red dresses.

They danced through the forest, stepping on green lotus leaves, their fingertips constantly releasing fine red threads in an attempt to control the faceless jade vessel.

Even though the Faceless Jade Venerable clan possesses an incredibly savage physique, once they are touched by the red thread, their bodies will become uncontrollable!
It was precisely because of the powerful crowd control ability of the Silk Shadow Clan that the Demon Lord of Prison was able to fight the Faceless Jade Venerable to a standstill.

"Whoosh~" Lu Ran slowly flew into the sky.

Piercing through the thick sea of ​​clouds, he arrived at the second heaven. In the distant sacred mountain region, the battle was even more intense.

Ugh.
The pitiful tethered shadow.

Did he force himself to become an unparalleled figure?

What kind of teammates are you getting matched with?

Only the third-tier Divine Demon Imprisoning Demon - Prison Heaven Demon is somewhat passable!
What are those fourth-rank deities and demons, Mud Lord - Swamp Doll and seventh-rank deities and demons, Nine Bamboo - Bamboo Wood Demon?

Why don't we vote?

How could someone so strong suffer such injustice?
Come to my sculpture garden, let's start a new game.
Lu Ran flew forward swiftly, peering through the gap in the sea of ​​clouds at the third heaven, and then flashed away.

Suddenly, the world fell silent.

Lu Ran looked at the eight dark cloud vortexes above the sacred mountain and waited patiently.

After a full seven or eight minutes, he spotted a vortex of dark clouds, flashed, and swiftly entered it.

The already dim sky became even darker.

Under the dim starry night sky, amidst the lush forests, women dressed in revealing bright red dresses could be seen everywhere.

She was incredibly alluring, with her breasts partially exposed.

"Uh." Lu Ran looked away, avoiding eye contact.

Even though they knew that the Shadowy Beauties were demons, apart from their deep red eyes, they were really no different from human women.

However, in this area, it was useless for Lu Ran to try to divert attention.

No matter where he looks, he sees plenty of benefits!
What does "devil's den" mean?
Since Lu Ran became a believer, he has been to many demonic caves for trials.

Today, I finally saw the original!
Lu Ran scratched his head, looked up along the stone pillar, and his figure quickly flew upwards.

"The young monk went down the mountain to beg for alms, and the old monk gave him instructions."

Lu Ran hummed a little tune in his heart as he plunged into the upper level of the demon cave. He was familiar with the way and flew backwards with his divine weapon in hand.

In sight, the enormous statue of the evil god was blurry in appearance, but its body lines were alluring and seductive.

A mysterious veil, long, flowing hair.

And that revealing long dress, made of tattered strips of cloth and interwoven threads, made Lu Ran clench his Eight Desolations Blade tightly.

It was clearly a stone sculpture, but Lu Ran imagined all sorts of exquisite scenes, after all, he had just seen a lot of perks.

Yeah, things will be better from now on.

After this battle, there will be no more sexy beauties in the world, only the elegant and beautiful Senior Sister He!
That being said, once the Goddess of Colors seizes the position of the Evil God and is equipped with the Divine Silk Thread, Mr. Long will be even less likely to escape her grasp, right?
Good luck, my strategist.
[Attention all participants, countdown begins!] Lu Ran was spiritually connected to several stone sculptures.

[32 kills!!]
