My father is the main character, but the female leads want to kill me.

This successor of the Azure Emperor is even more pathetic; he fainted from such a small force. He's even worse than you, the inheritor of the Mirror Moon—all show and no substance!

Shangguan Mengqing regained her composure. Her hands, hidden in her sleeves, trembled slightly, but her tone remained calm as she said, "I didn't expect that if you can't beat me head-on, you'll resort to some underhanded tactics to threaten me? This is all the trash can do to save face!"

"Hahaha, you're just like Jingyue back then, that mouth of yours is truly disgusting!" Feng Lian's face was cold and stern as she spat to the side.

Then he stepped down from the throne, and Lin Ran, who had been suspended in mid-air, was brought before Feng Lian by tentacles of black and red demonic energy.

Upon seeing this scene, Shangguan Mengqing felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible force.

When she saw Feng Lian extend her sharp claws as if to attack Lin Ran, Shangguan Mengqing could no longer restrain herself. She took out her Autumn Rain Sword and angrily swung it at Feng Lian. A deep blue slash, as if it were about to split the earth, was unleashed with tremendous force and astonishing momentum.

Feng Lian couldn't help but sneer. The extremely thick black and red demonic energy behind her surged towards her, forming a honeycomb-like grid barrier. This barrier allowed Shangguan Mengqing to see the scene clearly while also blocking Shangguan Mengqing's angry attack.

The deep blue sword energy almost tore the dense black and red demonic energy apart, but the gap was blocked by the demonic energy that came later. With the power of the two forces shifting, Shangguan Mengqing's move was completely annihilated by the demonic energy and turned into nothingness.

"Hehe, it seems this little good-for-nothing is very important to you. You two aren't like Jingyue back then, are you Qingdi's little lovers?"

Feng Lian smiled happily, retracting her sharp claws and revealing a pair of slender, bronze-colored hands. She gently stroked Lin Ran's face, blew a breath onto Lin Ran's face, and black and red demonic energy entered Lin Ran's nostrils, causing black and red patterns to spread across Lin Ran's skin.

Upon seeing this scene, Shangguan Mengqing realized what Feng Lian was trying to do.

This is a sign that demonic energy has entered his body. Once he is completely corrupted by demonic energy, Lin Ran will no longer be himself.

"Lin Ran, wake up!"

Shangguan Mengqing kept shouting to Lin Ran with the Phoenix Fate Bracelet, but Lin Ran still did not respond. Shangguan Mengqing could only force a breakthrough, hoping to save Lin Ran and herself. No matter what, she had to send the two of them out of this secret realm.

Shangguan Mengqing then went berserk, relentlessly using various sword techniques to attack Feng Lian's demonic energy barrier. She even used the power of the spatial core to strengthen herself, but she was always unable to break through the dense demonic energy. Even her attempt to reopen the Mirror Moon Space ended in failure.

As Feng Lian watched Shangguan Mengqing grow increasingly frenzied, her laughter grew even more unrestrained. She burst into laughter, saying, "You've truly opened my eyes. Even after all this, don't you realize the difference between us?"

Don't waste your energy. The power I've accumulated over so many years is not something you, who have just completed your inheritance, can defeat.

If you were to fully inherit and master Mirror Moon's legacy, then perhaps I would be the one to fear, but for now…”

Feng Lian sneered and shifted her gaze from Shangguan Mengqing across from her to Lin Ran. A hint of excitement flashed in her eyes; she had a very crazy and daring idea.

Suddenly, Feng Lian began to tremble all over, then threw her head back and let out a piercing laugh. Looking through the demonic energy barrier at Shangguan Mengqing, who was still trying to break through it, she smiled seductively and said, "Keep fighting. Next, I'll borrow your man for a bit. I... haven't tasted the flavor of a human man in a long time..."

Shangguan Mengqing stopped what she was doing, looked at Feng Lian with an icy expression, and said in a cold voice, "If you dare to hurt him, I will kill you, no matter where you are in the world!"

"Oh, I'm so scared... hahaha!"

Feng Lian laughed loudly. Suddenly, she dragged Wen Qianyi, who had been hanging in mid-air, to her side. Reaching out, she gently pinched Wen Qianyi's cheek amidst Wen Qianyi's terrified expression and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't kill such a beautiful little darling. You're not as annoying as that guy outside, so I'll reward you by letting you watch from the sidelines and observe properly, hahaha..."

"Look...look at what?"

Wen Qianyi's mind was still reeling from the shock and worry for her senior. Hanging to one side, she saw a dark red light flash across Feng Lian's body. When the dazzling light dissipated, a figure slowly emerged from it.

Her long black hair cascaded down her back, and the dense dark red armor covering her body had disappeared, revealing a figure with perfect curves.

Her slightly bronzed skin looked so healthy and full of vitality. Long, taut thighs, a slender waist, an astonishing curve extending from her waist to her hips, and those exaggerated yet harmonious breasts—but what was most surprising was her alluring and seductive face, those scarlet eyes that revealed a hint of the devil. She was a devilish woman, so bewitching in personality, appearance, and figure.

"This...is this something the Void Evil Clan could possess?"

Wen Qianyi and Shangguan Mengqing couldn't help but wonder: compared to her terrifying appearance before, if Feng Lian were to reveal her current state, perhaps no one would think she was a Void Evil Clan member, but rather a bewitching enchantress.

"It's been so long since I've shown my true self..." Feng Lian murmured softly.

She glanced at Wen Qianyi and Shangguan Mengqing, and was quite pleased with their gazes. She was confident that in terms of looks and figure, no human could rival her.

Even if it exists... it will soon turn into a pink skull in her hand.

Feng Lian pulled Lin Ran in front of her and gently stroked Lin Ran's face, her slender fingers gradually sliding further away.

Feng Lian moved very slowly, even when she untied Lin Ran's restraints, she did so carefully, deliberately showing it off to the other two people. She enjoyed this torturous pleasure, and the thought of what she was about to do made her more excited and tremble, her skin turning pink.

Feng Lian smiled foolishly, channeling her demonic energy into Lin Ran's body. More black and red patterns crawled all over Lin Ran's body, and she even created many pink illusions for Lin Ran.

When she saw the towering mountain peaks, she turned to look at Shangguan Mengqing, whose eyes seemed capable of killing, and her smile became even brighter: "See? Soon your little lover will belong to me."

I will send him to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, where he will perish. I haven't even tasted the life of the Green Emperor's descendant yet.

"Don't worry, I'll refine his final body into my demon slave; I won't harm a single hair on his head, hahaha!"

Shangguan Mengqing's eyes were bloodshot. She rarely had such emotional turmoil. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh, drawing blood. The stinging pain in her palms seemed to travel to her heart.

Looking at what was happening before her, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside her; she had no way to break the deadlock.

"Lin Ran, I so wish you could reply to me, but it seems impossible... Next, I will burn my life force... to try and send you and Qianyi away. As for the rest... I will bear it all alone..."

Shangguan Mengqing stroked the phoenix bracelet on her wrist. She was prepared to fight to the death, at least to save Qianyi and Lin Ran. As for herself… perhaps the two were destined to be together but not meant to be…

But just then, her Phoenix Bracelet glowed faintly, and a message was sent to her… After listening to it, her eyes couldn’t help but turn to Feng Lian’s side. At this moment, her heart was filled with only one emotion, and she kept shouting in her heart: “Lin Ran, are you crazy?”

Wen Qianyi's inner pain was no less than Shangguan Mengqing's. What made it even harder for Wen Qianyi to accept was that this happened twice. The second time was even worse. She witnessed it firsthand at the closest distance, watching Feng Lian sway her alluring figure as she sat on the mountain peak, as if she had ascended to the clouds.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Lian's various vulgarities filled the air. As if afraid that Wen Qianyi and Shangguan Mengqing couldn't hear her, the woman shouted incessantly, swaying and dancing around, and occasionally mocking Shangguan Mengqing.

"That's great... your little sweetheart... hahaha..."

Shangguan Mengqing watched this scene with a cold expression, her eyes fixed on Feng Lian. Feng Lian, however, was completely unconcerned and gradually lowered her guard. Originally, she had planned to turn Lin Ran into a dried-up corpse, but now she decided to enjoy this moment of pleasure and let Lin Ran die a little slower.

From Wen Qianyi's perspective, Lin Ran's condition was worsening; her life force was rapidly draining away. Unable to bear witnessing such a cruel scene, she closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. Once again, she felt a deep resentment towards her own weakness…

But at that very moment, just as Feng Lian reached her climax, her soul felt an unprecedented, intense pain. This pain surpassed joy, and the suffocating feeling of death surged up instantly. She couldn't help but let out a shrill scream, her beautiful face filled with terror. She wanted to get up and leave immediately.

That astonishingly destructive power against the Void Evil Clan surged wildly within Feng Lian's internal organs, assaulting every corner, every bone, and even aiming directly at her soul...

Lin Ran's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, revealing a cold and crazed look...

……

Chapter 184 The Finale of the Music

The best hunters often appear as prey, and Lin Ran is that fierce and mad hunter.

"what!"

Feng Lian's shrill scream echoed through the space, and the space that had been shrouded in black and red demonic energy rapidly dissipated, revealing the underground magma world once again.

Wen Qianyi, who had been bound and suspended in mid-air, fell to the spot formed by the black and red demonic energy. She stared blankly at the scene before her, not understanding what was going on.

Shangguan Mengqing reacted quickly, rushing to Wen Qianyi's side and protecting her behind her. Looking down at Feng Lian, who was bleeding from all seven orifices, and Lin Ran, the instigator, she felt a sense of absurdity: "Lin Ran's crazy gamble actually succeeded!"

Feng Lian's large, eerie eyes were now filled only with terror and utter resentment. Her expression was shrill, and blackish-red blood oozed from every pore and opening on her body. Trembling, she pointed at Lin Ran and cried out, "You...you weren't under my illusion and had your demonic energy enter your body, were you? How could you..."

Seeing the fading light in Feng Lian's eyes, Lin Ran knew what Feng Lian wanted to know and explained, "From the beginning, it was unrealistic for us to want to defeat you through a direct battle."

Because of your extraordinary regeneration and your immortality granted by moonlight, you are virtually invincible. We simply cannot outlast you, nor do we possess the absolute strength to crush you. Even Senior Jingyue couldn't kill you back then; for us to do so is an impossible dream.

"Then why..." Feng Lian asked, puzzled.

"why?"

Lin Ran shook her head and continued, "Then I have to thank Gemodo. Gemodo also has the ability to be immortal, so he should be from the same clan as you, right? That means that your abilities are similar. Since I could kill Gemodo, it means that you can also be killed. You are not invincible in the world. Following this line of thought, I decided to take a gamble."

At this moment, a deep madness flashed in Lin Ran's eyes. He drew his Autumn Rain Sword and, without hesitation, plunged it into Feng Lian's heart. A mouthful of dark red blood spurted onto his face, but he didn't care. He continued, "..."

"To make you reveal your true form, I need to lower your guard. Clearly, when you saw victory was within your grasp, you completely let your guard down, and that was the moment..."

Before Lin Ran could finish speaking, he unleashed his final, furious attack through the connection point, transforming it into a golden beam of light that pierced into Feng Lian's soul, shattering her soul completely.

Feng Lian's last words before facing death perfectly encapsulate her life: "I never imagined... after being sealed away my entire life, and just after being released, I would still fall at the hands of you people... I deserve to die..."

Feng Lian's eyes completely lost focus, and she collapsed weakly onto Lin Ran.

The dark red demonic energy in the entire space was slowly rising, turning into dark red specks of light and dissipating. Only then did Lin Ran slowly finish speaking the last few words: "The best... opportunity..."

After saying that, he could no longer resist the intense weariness in his eyelids. He closed his eyes, and his skeletal body, carrying Feng Lian's corpse, fell from the sky into the magma world.

Just then, a deep blue light enveloped Lin Ran, halting her descent, while Feng Lian's body fell into the lava. After a short while, dark red light spots drifted out of the lava and completely dissipated into the sky.

Lin Ran's body slowly floated in front of Shangguan Mengqing. The deep blue Mirror Moon Holy Flame protected Lin Ran from the attack of the magma fire poison. At the same time, a golden light emerged from Lin Ran's body, transforming into a flower wearing a gorgeous golden dress.

Shangguan Mengqing glanced at Lin Ran expressionlessly, then looked at Fan Hua who had come out, and said calmly, "Fan Hua, do you know what Lin Ran wants to do?"

If you are familiar with Shangguan Mengqing, you will know that she is in a state of extreme anger. The calm before the storm is what is most frightening.

Like a child who had done something wrong, Fan Hua lowered her head and forced a smile as she explained, "I...I know, but I also think Lin Ran's actions were too crazy. I tried to stop her...but..."

"But it didn't work, did it?"

Shangguan Mengqing added to Fan Hua's suggestion, but Fan Hua dared not utter another word.

"I think you probably didn't stop Fan Hua, and even helped Lin Ran accomplish this feat, is that right?" Shangguan Mengqing stared directly at Fan Hua, and a cold and oppressive aura spread out, making Wen Qianyi, who was standing next to her, not even dare to breathe.

This was the first time she had seen Shangguan Mengqing in a fit of rage; her oppressive aura and presence were even more terrifying than her sister Wen Bixuan's.

“I remember… the Tassel Palace can also protect the soul, which means that Lin Ran will not be affected by the illusion. As for the demonic energy entering the body, we just need to be careful.”

Lin Ran once killed Gemodo; given his intelligence, he certainly wouldn't have figured out the connection between the two so quickly. We hadn't discussed this before.”

"You said it, didn't you? Fan Hua, you reminded Lin Ran, and Lin Ran quickly came up with this... almost life-threatening move, and in order to make it realistic enough to deceive Feng Lian, she even had to hide it from me."

"Don't try to argue, just answer me, yes or no?!" Shangguan Mengqing analyzed step by step, and finally shouted in a cold voice with extreme pressure.

Even Fan Hua herself hadn't expected that Shangguan Mengqing was so incredibly clever; she had actually guessed almost everything that she and Lin Ran had discussed.

However, this somewhat vulgar and despicable tactic was not actually Fan Hua's idea, but Lin Ran's. Fan Hua initially disagreed, thinking it was too absurd and that such a thing could never happen.

It's absurd to even think about it. What makes you think that Feng Lian would reveal her true form and do *that* with you? And then you would kill Feng Lian based on that? That's just too ridiculous!

It wasn't until Lin Ran was absolutely certain that Feng Lian would do something like this, and her analysis made perfect sense, that Fan Hua began to have doubts. In order to make the performance more realistic, she decided not to tell Shangguan Mengqing and Wen Qianyi what he was going to do, which led to the events that followed.

To Fan Hua's surprise, things really did develop step by step as Lin Ran had predicted. In order to provoke Shangguan Mengqing and Wen Qianyi, Feng Lian revealed her true form and had sex with Lin Ran in front of the two of them.

However, Lin Ran actually leaked the secret halfway through, because if she didn't stop Shangguan Mengqing, given Shangguan Mengqing's personality, she might really burn her life to save him.

Fan Hua could only obediently nod in the end, and then blurted out everything she and Lin Ran had discussed. However, she still took full responsibility, saying, "I think I also bear the main responsibility. Meng Qing, please don't blame Lin Ran. Lin Ran only took such a risky move because she wanted to get rid of Feng Lian, and... um..."

Fan Hua wanted to explain why Lin Ran had resorted to such a vulgar tactic, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to explain it properly.

After all, such a grand performance had just taken place in front of Shangguan Mengqing, and even Fan Hua felt the impact was too shocking, let alone Shangguan Mengqing and Wen Qianyi, Lin Ran's lovers, who were there to witness it firsthand.

Especially since Shangguan Mengqing had recently become Lin Ran's woman, and now she had witnessed such a thing.

Although it was supposedly to deal with Feng Lian, and Feng Lian was indeed successfully killed in the end, it still leaves a lingering resentment.

Fan Hua was also worried that this would affect Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing's relationship. She was not very willing for Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing to be together before, but when she saw the sincere and deep feelings between the two, she changed her mind.
