Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 244 International Fame Spreads, the Undead Empire War is About to Begin!

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent!

No one dared to step forward, no one dared to move, all staring straight at Lu Ran, whose face was covered in blood!

Oruna was also stunned. She stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

She had imagined how things would turn out, but she never expected that Lu Ran would kill two people in just one encounter!
Was he so certain that the other party was indeed a member of the Black Vatican?
What if we kill the wrong person?
Lu Ran used water magic to slowly wipe the blood off his face. It was the blood that had splattered after he cut off Leng Jue and Chi Gui's heads, and it was extremely disgusting.

It was an accident on his part; he never expected the two of them to die so easily.

A cardinal, dead just like that?

Even though he killed them with his own hands, it still felt like a dream!

"Did the temple leader I asked you to summon arrive?" Lu Ran asked Oruna.

Oruna nodded quickly and said, "She's on her way."

"Lu Ran, what are their true identities? Are they really from the Black Church?"

Lu Ran nodded and said, "Yes, the cardinals of the Black Vatican and the Red Demon who led the extradition—if they hadn't been so careless, it would have been very difficult for me to kill them."

Oruna's eyes widened, wondering if she had misheard.

"A cardinal?"

Oruna had no doubt about Lu Ran. She was absolutely certain that the two people lying on the ground were high-ranking members of the Black Church!
Moreover, this is a golden opportunity for rapid advancement!

"No, we don't need to wait for the temple's higher-ups to arrive. Let's go directly to the Temple of Freedom!" Oluna said anxiously.

As the two returned to the Temple of Liberty, news of the arrest of the Black Vatican cardinal quickly spread from New York to the international community!
A host of top international powers have sent high-ranking officials to New York, all to verify the authenticity of this cardinal's identity!
Verifying the cardinal's identity is extremely difficult, since there's no way to verify it now that he's dead.

But it's also very simple!
There is a treasure called the 'Bishop's Bloodstone'. If Leng Jue's blood is dripped onto this stone, and the stone bursts with blood-red light, it means that he is a cardinal!

The Temple of Liberty completed the verification immediately!

The blood from Leng Jue dripped onto the bishop's bloodstone, and indeed shimmered with a dazzling blood light.

This person is indeed a cardinal of the Black Papacy, there's no doubt about it!
According to Lu Ran, the man in red standing next to Leng Jue is the Red Demon, the one who leads the extradition!
The extradited leader, who was also a high-ranking member of the Black Vatican and whose whereabouts were unknown, also died!
The high-ranking members of the Temple of Liberty all believed Lu Ran's words; the two dead must be Leng Jue and Chi Gui!

The name of the Temple of Liberty has become a sensation, resounding throughout the world!
Leng Jue and Chi Gui died in New York, at the hands of Lu Ran, the captain of the Kyushu National Government.

At this moment, the world's attention is focused on the Temple of Liberty!

The coach of the Kyushu National Team also rushed to New York immediately.

"The Cardinal is dead? Did you really do it?" Feng Li asked excitedly.

After Lu Ran nodded calmly, Feng Li went completely mad, praising her without reservation:
"Good, good! You truly deserve to be the captain of our Kyushu National Team. Kyushu is proud of you!"

"I never imagined that the Black Vatican cardinal, whom the entire Inquisition couldn't capture, would die at your hands!"

"Remember last time, Salang was almost captured in the ancient capital because of the intelligence you provided. I never expected that this time in New York, you would bring down another cardinal from his pedestal!"

"The cardinal who died this time was Leng Jue. He had triggered the Mediterranean incident and was despised by everyone in Europe. But you killed him with your own hands. If this gets back to Europe, you will probably be revered by everyone there!"

"When this gets back to the country, the Speaker of the Parliament will probably come to see you in person to thank you and reward you!"

Lu Ran said modestly:

"These are nothing but empty titles. Killing the Black Papacy is my duty."

Feng Li laughed heartily, growing more and more satisfied with Lu Ran. Such a prodigy, neither arrogant nor humble, possessing unparalleled strength—the champion of this year's World University Competition is surely the land of China!
Subsequently, high-ranking officials from the Temple of Liberty paid a visit, expressing their heartfelt gratitude for Lu Ran's actions and subtly inquiring about the Triangular Dimensional Mirror.

Lu Ran remained expressionless, indicating that he was unaware of this.

Once something has fallen into your pocket, do you really think you can get it back just because of a few words? It's not that easy.

The higher-ups at the Temple of Liberty were not surprised. Fortunately, it wasn't some kind of treasure. With Leng Jue dying in New York, the Temple of Liberty had already gotten a great deal.

In a short period of time, Lu Ran's international reputation has risen to a new level!
Who among the younger generation doesn't know the name Lu Ran?

Without exception, everyone looked up to and worshipped Lu Ran as a role model!
When Lu Ran returned to the National Team, everyone looked at him with the expression of worship!

They killed the cardinal of the Black Papacy!
This is even more exciting than solving the international problem of the drowning curse.

Lu Ran cleared his throat and looked around the team: "Don't get too excited, everyone. Just work hard, and you'll definitely achieve something in the future!"

Zhao Manyan's eyes lit up, and he asked:

"Ran-ge, do you mean we also have a chance to hunt down the cardinal?"

Lu Ran blinked and laughed, "Hunting? You? I think you can outlast him."

These words drew laughter from the entire team once again.

Everyone knows that Lao Zhao has an all-attribute turtle shell, so it's quite possible.

After taking down the badge from the U.S. National Pavilion and resting, the National Government team took off again.

The next stops are Spain and the Sahara.
Under Lu Ran's guidance, all the challenges were completed quickly and easily, without wasting much time.

This last country, and the one Lu Ran had been looking forward to for a long time, is Egypt!

The Egyptian pyramids are world-renowned for their perilous nature.

Egypt is the country with the largest number of the dead. It is a world-renowned land of the dead, along with Kyushu, an ancient capital.

As the Undead Emperor, Lu Ran had promised Jiu You Hou earlier that he would let his undead subordinates go crazy!
Now that he has arrived in Egypt, it's time!

The battle for the undead is finally about to begin!
Pushini.

This training mission for the Nationalist government is not much different from the naval battle in Tokyo, Japan. We will fight and gain experience alongside the Egyptian army!

Lu Ran didn't care about this at all. Right now, all he wanted was to start the war between the undead empires as soon as possible, let the Abyss devour the pyramid, and use war to fuel war!

Another thing to look forward to is Xinxia!

Upon arriving at the military camp, Lu Ran went to find Xin Xia.

Similarly, Xin Xia was also extremely excited when she learned that the Kyushu National Government team was about to arrive for training, and she immediately put down what she was doing to find Lu Ran.

This wave is a two-way race!

"Brother Lu Ran!"

"Xinxia, ​​it's been a long time!"

Today, Xin Xia is draped in a veil of holiness and nobility, the kind of veil that makes one want to tear it apart.
She was just a little girl before, but in such a short time, she has changed so much!

It seems that Xinxia has made a lot of progress in the Parthenon, which makes Lu Ran quite gratified!
