The Old Gods

Chapter 959 has been shipped.

After ending his call with his mother, Lu Ran turned around and looked at the statue of the goddess Heroine not far away.

At that moment, Nüying was picking up a large cleaver.

The blade is thick on the back and thin on the edge. It is huge, heavy and wide, and its color is a light gold that is unique to monks.

This is the fourth-tier divine weapon, the Soaring Dragon Blade. It originally belonged to a martial monk, but now Lu Ran is using it as an "apology gift."

Whether Nüying was full of martial virtue or secretly supported him, the final result was that she took the initiative to break the Crimson Silence Blade and give the Silent Domain to Lu Ran.

That's why the Burning Gate was able to smoothly kill powerful gods like Dongting and the Monk.

In the future, with the top-tier Silent Night Blade, who knows what kind of world Lu Ran will carve out!

Whether you call this Tenglong Blade an apology or a gift, Lu Ran gave it to Nü Ying on his own initiative.

How could such a powerful god not possess a top-tier weapon?

Lu Ran could also tell that she really liked the knife.

"Lady Nüying, I'll be leaving now," Lu Ranfei said in the ear of the Nüying statue.

“It seems you are a man of your word,” Nüying said in a low voice.

She knew perfectly well that this was the exclusive weapon of the martial monk!

He understood more clearly what it meant for this knife to fall into his hands.

The core leader of the God and Demon faction, a top-tier god in the world, was killed by Lu Ran!
"Thank you for the compliment." Lu Ran's muffled voice came from behind the blood crystal mask. "I just want to end this chaotic world as soon as possible."

Nu Ying gripped the hilt of her sword, feeling the sincerity in his voice, and said in a deep voice, "Now that the monk is dead, why don't you press on with your momentum?"

Lu Ran said helplessly, "You're treating me like you? I'm a person, made of flesh and blood! Can't you give me a break?"

Nüying: "."

For countless years, it seems that no living being has ever spoken to itself in this way.

"I'm not going back just to rest; I have very important things to do," Lu Ran added.

Nu Ying gripped the hilt of the knife: "The gods and demons know who this knife originally belonged to. If they see it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."

"Anyway, we're about to confront the gods and demons soon." Lu Ran thought for a moment and then said, "If any gods or demons come here and ask about this, just say that it was fleeing here and was captured by you."

"You made me lie?"

"Uh." Lu Ran scratched his head. "Then you can just say that some villains from the human race are trying to win you over and curry favor with you. That wouldn't be a lie, would it?"

Nu Ying silently stroked the Tenglong Blade, without saying another word.

Lu Ran didn't continue on this topic, and changed the subject: "The Ran Sect has a divine general who was once your disciple, named Wang Longxiang."

The woman paused, as if recalling something.

Lu Ran continued, "I'll return to the Heavenly Realm in a couple of days and bring her here to assist you, how about that?"

Suddenly, Nüying said, "If we hadn't cooperated, wouldn't this person be the one to replace me?"

Lu Ran smiled and said, "Those are all in the past. I have treated you sincerely, and I believe that with Lady Ying's magnanimity, she will not hold it against me."

The celestial realm is on the verge of chaos. The Jade Venerable Clan has already been allowed in, and the divine and demonic camp is gradually falling apart.

With Wang Longxiang around, you can better protect the sacred mountain.

Nu Ying responded softly.

Lu Ran bid farewell and left, flashing into a crevice in the sacred mountain, activating a floor-length mirror, and stepping back to the misty ends of the earth.

He went straight to the main hall of Tianya Residence, plopped down in the grand chair, and connected his spirit with Emperor Feng, Dragon God General, and Phoenix Swallow General:
[You guys, that's enough for the mission.]

The original stone statues of the four generals are all in the deep sea below the ends of the earth, but their physical bodies are scattered throughout Holy Spirit Mountain, and they have all stopped now.

Lu Ran arranged a meeting point with the group, and just ten minutes later, he picked up the four of them.

"Haven't changed much in a month, huh?" Lu Ran looked through the thick fog at the four generals bowing respectfully below.

The four began their mission on October 28th, and now it is the end of the winter month.

All in all, it only takes about a month.

The date cannot be faked, but from Lu Ran's personal perspective...
It's only been a month?
So much happened in November that Lu Ran was somewhat dazed.

"Sect Master, I am ashamed!" Gao Yunyan spoke first, kneeling on the ground with her head bowed low.

"It's alright." Lu Ran immediately waved his hand. "The time was already short, and you went to the Northwest region. Before, when the former sect leader of Tianhuang Mountain descended to the mortal realm, he shattered countless divine weapons and magical artifacts."

That sect leader's third-tier divine weapon, the Spirit Devouring Axe, was born by devouring weapon spirits and artifact spirits, which is why it was able to grow so quickly.

That said, the Soul-Devouring Axe is now in Xue Fengchen's hands and has long belonged to the Burning Sect.

Gao Yunyan pouted, but ultimately said nothing.

The sect leader remained as gentle and dignified as ever, and I have never even seen him raise his voice at his subordinates.

But for a proud soldier like Gao Yunyan, failing to perform her duties was a truly painful blow.

"Feng'er?" Lu Ran looked at Xue Fengchen, who had gone to the northeastern region and started his exploration from the Blade Ridge Peak.

"Sect Master, I have found a divine weapon, the spear." Xue Fengchen, equally ashamed, presented it with both hands.

Lu Ran stood up and walked over, holding the spear in one hand and weighing it up and down: "It's pretty good, many soldiers can use it."

Yan Chou, Wang Ling, Deng Yutang, and others were all skilled in using long spears.

The only problem is that for someone like Yan Chou, a mere first-tier divine weapon spear...
Lu Ran is really not presentable!
Sigh, let Yan Chou use it for now. We'll replace it with a fourth-tier divine weapon after we kill the likes of Qiang Xiu and Xie Qiang Di.

Lu Ran bent down and patted the Great Phoenix of the Western Wilderness on the shoulder: "When we were fighting on Holy Spirit Mountain, we destroyed countless sects and seized many divine weapons and magical artifacts."

That's the culmination of thirty or forty years of effort on Holy Spirit Mountain. We've practically ransacked Holy Spirit Mountain; it would be abnormal if you could actually pull out a bunch of divine weapons and magical artifacts now.”

Xue Fengchen: "."

Lu Ran was comforting Feng Yan and the other general, and also speaking to Wang Longxiang and He Qifeng, not wanting them to feel too much pressure.

He took a step to the side, stood in front of Wang Longxiang, and looked down at the human version of Nüying.

Because their temperaments were so similar, Lu Ran even thought they looked somewhat alike.

"Sect Master, in the southwest, the Valley Master of Bee Elephant Valley possesses a divine weapon hammer, and his wife has a pair of divine weapon daggers and several magical artifacts, the Cold Light Needles," Wang Longxiang reported in a deep voice. "However, the atmosphere in Bee Elephant Valley is very upright, Your Majesty."

Bee Valley.

The simple place name pulled Lu Ran back to the days of fighting in the Holy Spirit Mountain.

Bee Elephant Valley is also one of the few forces that has not been sanctioned by the Burning Gate.

"It's alright." Lu Ran patted her shoulder. "That's why I sent you on this mission. If you actually did something, I wouldn't be able to explain myself."

Wang Longxiang made up his mind, but did not look up.

Lu Ran looked at He Qifeng. Feng Tiandi was conducting a search in the southeast region, where the Ran Sect had fought for a long time, so there shouldn't have been any gains.

"Sect Master, here is a treasure bag."

"A treasure bag?" Lu Ran was somewhat taken aback as he looked at the ornate little cloth bag presented by He Qifeng.

Because He Qifeng possessed so many divine weapons and magical artifacts, Lu Ran hadn't really realized whether she had too many or too few treasures.

"My subordinates went to Jingxian Island, and now the island is occupied by Asha's faction. The island lord is wicked and extremely cruel."

"Good heavens~" Lu Ran reached out and took the Qiankun bag.

Asa's faction is indeed full of talented people.
Back in the day, Feng Zhihuan, the master of Jingxian Island, was a collector with a collection of divine weapons and magical artifacts, and she also had several husbands.

It's true that like master, like servant.

Think of the powerful bow and armor of the god Asha, and then think of the tattered clothes and fork of the evil god Fisherman.
Asa's faction may be known as killers, but they are also adept at cunning and ruthless exploitation!

"crash"

Lu Ran picked up the small cloth bag, which was about the size of his palm, and found it to be quite heavy.

It even made a crisp clanging sound, as if it contained a lot of coins?
The treasure bag has an antique dark gold color, and is embroidered with exquisite patterns, as well as many symbols that Lu Ran cannot understand, which may be some kind of script.

Overall, it's quite gorgeous!

He Qifeng continued, "It contains many weapons, materials such as Tianchen Steel and Jinhuang Stone, as well as a great deal of gold and silver jewelry."

"Gulp." Lu Ran's Adam's apple bobbed.

It wasn't because of the money, but because of the magic bag itself!
He inserted two fingers into the bag, opened the opening, and saw a mountain of treasure.

They're all tiny!

"Can people go in?" Lu Ran asked.

“Sure,” He Qifeng replied readily.

"Come here." Lu Ran picked up the treasure bag and held it out to He Qifeng.

The magical artifact did not react at all until He Qifeng gave a firm order: "From now on, listen to him."

"Whoosh~" A surge of divine power erupted.

The opening of the treasure bag widened slightly, and Lu Ran watched as He Qifeng gradually shrank and was put into the small money bag.

He looked down and found the tiny He Qifeng, standing amidst a mountain of treasure—a truly fantastical scene.

It might even give Lu Ran the wrong impression:
He only needed to extend a single finger to crush the Wind Emperor.

"Can you forcibly put me in solitary confinement? Can you come out on your own?" Lu Ran asked.

He Qifeng flew rapidly upwards.

Lu Ran immediately ordered the magic bag: "Tighten the opening!"

The magical artifact obeyed the command, but it still couldn't stop He Qifeng from emerging.

How could a mere first-tier magic weapon possibly stop a Heavenly Realm expert?
As soon as He Qifeng emerged, his body quickly returned to its original form.

Lu Ran nodded secretly. It seemed that this "little money bag" was only used to hold gold and silver treasures and did not have any other functions.

Come to think of it, how could Xiao Chifeng be compared to just any Tom, Dick, or Harry?
Even among magical artifacts, the Fiery Phoenix Pattern Gourd is the most top-tier one!
The little creature can assist its master in cultivation, imprison enemies, confine their physical bodies, and even refine them. It can also purify the energy of holy spirits.
This is absolutely amazing!
However, the treasure bag has a great use in the hands of the Burning Gate!

One can put various divine and evil sculptures inside and let the carrier take them as they please.
The Divine Demon Sculpture Garden, the Gourd with Phoenix Pattern, and the Treasure Bag.

In this way, Lu Ran and the other two will be able to lead three teams at the same time!
good good!
The more Lu Ran thought about it, the happier he became, and he said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work this time."

"You lot, quickly think of any relatives you have in the human world, and report to Madam when you return to the sculpture park."

He Qifeng's expression froze for a moment, and he hurriedly asked, "What does the sect leader want?"

"We're about to confront the gods and demons. The Burning Gate will soon send someone back to the mortal realm to eliminate any worries."

"showdown?"

The crowd was astonished by the "stall".

Has the Ranmen sect become this powerful in just one month?

"Many things have happened recently. For details, you should ask the soldiers in the park."

Lu Ran suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Qi Feng, after you enter the garden, quickly merge with Bai Rao and devour the martial monk's soul together. Transform into a first-class god as soon as possible. I urgently need you."

He Qifeng's eyes widened immediately: !!
