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

Hellflower glanced at the effeminate man, hesitated, and finally led her team and the remaining group of the effeminate man toward Sakura Spirit City.

But no one knows who was so "eager" to sneak into the house, wanting to start the revelry at the banquet immediately. With a woman's high-pitched scream filled with a hint of panic, the tranquility of Sakura Spirit Town was suddenly shattered.

Upon hearing this scream, the expressions of the two leaders who had already led their teams to Sakura Spirit Town changed.

Hellflower's face was extremely ugly. She pointed at the effeminate man and angrily cursed, "Rat, you should control your subordinates. At a time like this, you can't even control your lower body. If something happens, let's see how you explain yourself!"

The effeminate man, nicknamed "Rat," also looked displeased. He took out a fan engraved with various demons and monsters and said in a gloomy tone, "You don't need to lecture me. I will punish you naturally when the time comes."

Meanwhile, many members of the town's guard rushed out, leaving the civilians at home with their doors tightly shut, peeking out through their windows.

The person in charge of the defense here was a Spirit Pill Realm elder from Linghua Academy. After hearing the commotion, she came out and her eyes were fixed on Hellflower and Rat. She shouted, "It's actually Hellflower, the leader of the Iron Blood Asura Gang, and Rat, the deputy leader of the Tengshan Gang. They really think highly of me, a mere defense elder, and sent two Nirvana Realm One-Star elders to deal with me."

"Hmph, enough nonsense, prepare to die!"

The rat waved its fan, and a thick black mist rose up, causing various strange and grotesque creatures to rush towards the guarding elder.

Hellflower, standing to the side, didn't follow immediately. She sensed something was amiss. When the defensive elder saw them, his expression wasn't panicked at all; in fact, he seemed somewhat excited.

How could an elder at the seventh level of the Spirit Pill Realm feel excited when facing two Nirvana Realm one-star cultivators? Is he a battle maniac?

"Hellflower, what are you doing, you stinky woman? Hurry up and attack! You really want to wait for the other side to call for help, don't you!" The rat was furious when it saw Hellflower standing still without making a move, and urged her on.

"it is good!"

Hellflower responded and then took out her whip to go forward and fight alongside the rat against the elder who was at the seventh level of the Spirit Pill Realm.

This elder, a seventh-level Spirit Pill Realm expert, fought in a cowardly manner, only defending and dodging, refusing to engage them head-on. The rats were getting really frustrated and couldn't help but shout, "Tengshan Gang, come and help us kill this old hag!"

"Tengshan Gang!"

"Hey!"

The mouse squeaked a few times, but when it found no one responding, it glanced back and saw its men standing there motionless. It became furious: "I called you, and you didn't react? Believe me, when we get back, I'll teach you all a lesson according to gang rules!"

"Who are you serving according to the gang rules? I don't quite understand. Why is someone named Rat?" A man dressed in black from the Tengshan Gang stepped forward and faced Rat alone. Hellflower, who was standing to the side, also stopped what she was doing and realized that something was wrong.

She couldn't help but call out to the people she had brought, but the situation was the same as with the rats—no one responded. Hellflower knew that something was wrong.

The man in black in front of them laughed and said, "Stop shouting, your men are all here!"

The man in black clapped his hands, and one by one, men in black emerged from the dark alleyway. Men and women, stripped down to their underwear, were carried out, but all were lifeless. Their wide-open eyes still showed a look of confusion, as if they didn't even know how they died.

When Hellflower saw that her gang members were among them, her expression turned even uglier, especially seeing her own sisters being treated this way. Enraged, she charged towards the man in black, her whip wielding a fierce force, whistling through the air as she lashed out at him.

"bump!"

With a muffled thud, Hellflower saw her whip caught by the black-clad man's pale, bony right hand, which was imbued with golden spiritual energy.

Hellflower's pupils contracted sharply. Her attack had been caught so easily. She tried to pull back with all her might, but it felt like the whip was being held by iron clamps and she couldn't pull it back at all.

But the next moment, a terrifying force came from the whip, and Hellflower's body was pulled towards the man in black by the powerful force. Her right hand's nails extended into long, dark purple claws, about to grab the man in black.

But the moment she touched the black-clad man's robes, they were dissolved by the golden spiritual energy barrier, and her eyes clearly saw the black-clad man's face. Just as she was about to speak, she felt an indescribable pain in her abdomen.

Immediately afterward, she saw the surrounding scenery rushing past her, finally coming to a stop after crashing into a stone wall. This blow was enough to render her unable to fight. As she recalled the man's face before she fainted, she couldn't help but murmur, "Who are you?"

The rat, still standing there, looked at the man in black whose hood had been knocked off, and his voice trembled as he said, "You...you are the only man in Linghua Academy!"

"What you said is so awful! My full name is Lin Ran!"

Lin Ran said this with a handsome smile on his face.

……

6. Destroy the old man's hideout

Since the rats dared to attack Linghua Academy, and their target was Yingling Town, an economically important area of ​​Linghua Academy, they must have done their homework thoroughly.

Knowing that a lot of defensive forces had been transferred here, and that the strongest combat force of Linghua Academy was only an elder at the seventh level of the Spirit Pill Realm, the Tengshan Gang and the Iron-Blooded Asura Gang had sent out all their elites, and each of the gangs had sent out a Nirvana Realm expert as their core strength.

Although he is only at the level of Nirvana Realm 1-star, when dealing with the elder of Linghua Academy who is at the level of Spirit Pill Realm 7-star, no matter how you look at it, it's two against one. If it's not a sure thing, then there should be at least an 80% chance of winning, right?

When the first man of Linghua Academy, and also the vice dean, Lin Ran, suddenly appeared, the rat was truly dumbfounded. How could there be such a troublesome character here?

And he took down that Hellflower woman with just one punch. What kind of strength does that take?

"How could we possibly win..."

The rat began to retreat, and looking at Lin Ran's smiling face, it felt even more terrified, and it frantically moved the fan in its hand.

All sorts of demons and monsters poured out from within, forming a colossal curtain of viscous black mist that swallowed even the moonlight. No light source could penetrate the pitch-black mist, and all that echoed in one's ears were extremely piercing screams and roars.

The elder in charge of guarding Yingling Town quickly sent a telepathic message to Lin Ran: "Vice Dean, this rat is trying to use this attack to entangle us and then escape!"

"Thanks for reminding me!"

Lin Ran took out the Autumn Rain Sword, and golden spiritual power surged into the sword like a tide. As it emitted a buzzing sword sound, an extremely mysterious fluctuation was faintly emitted, and it was even possible to see runes moving on the Autumn Rain Sword.

"The power of this 'Tao' is truly wondrous!"

Lin Ran couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Since the technique was activated, he felt that using the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Technique or circulating his power was much smoother and more fluid than before.

Moreover, the energy within his body, though faint, was incredibly profound and gave him a peculiar feeling. He felt it was like the fusion of Yin and Yang, or the misty chaos at the beginning of the universe, giving him the impression of a very powerful "Dao".

Wielding her longsword, the golden crescent-shaped sword energy, accompanied by a piercing sound, shattered the demons and monsters along the way with a single touch. The black mist was cut into shredded canvases by the crescent-shaped sword energy, and Lin Ran could see the rat that had already escaped some distance through the opening.

"Wow, that's really fast!"

Lin Ran muttered something, gave Li Qiushui some instructions, and then went off alone to hunt down the "rat".

Li Qiushui also took off her hood and directed her guards to clean up the battlefield and collect supplies.

The guards of Linghua Academy quickly discovered the dying Hellflower, carried her over, and reported to Li Qiushui, "Elder, this person is still alive!"

"Ok?"

Li Qiushui walked over and saw the Hellflower that had taken a punch from Lin Ran. She was a little conflicted and didn't know what to do.

"bump!"

There was a muffled sound.

Lin Ran threw the rat's carcass onto the pile of corpses in the center of the square, looked at Li Qiushui, shrugged, and said, "I used too much force and accidentally killed someone. I was hoping he could give me some information about the dangerous triangle area."

"What about the soul?" Li Qiushui couldn't help but ask.

Normally, a soul in the Nirvana Realm, after being baptized by the Nirvana Karmic Fire, can survive even if it leaves the body. Even if it dies, as long as it reaches the soul container, it can forge a new body for itself and be reborn in the future.

"I didn't know I was this strong. I didn't hold back and completely destroyed his soul!" Lin Ran said, scratching his head.

Hearing Lin Ran's Versailles-like words, Li Qiushui suddenly didn't want to speak anymore. If she was so strong, why didn't she go to the dean for some practice? That way, the dean wouldn't have to use her as a punching bag every day!

"By the way, Lin Ran, this one is still breathing. What do you think we should do?" Li Qiushui pointed to the still unconscious Hell Flower.

"There are still survivors!"

Lin Ran thought for a moment and then said, "Let you professional interrogators handle this. See if you can pry some information out of her. Oh, and the most important thing is the location of their hideout!"

People keep coming to harass him, which is why Lin Ran can't go back to the academy. If he knew where these forces were headquartered, he would wipe them out, along with all their people!

……

The next morning, at Linghua Academy, Qiu Qingzi also received a message from Lin Ran, as well as a report from the defense elder of Yingling Town.

Looking at the two reports, Qiu Qingzi found them very interesting. She stood up and went to Wen Bixuan to present the two reports: "It seems that my strategy is quite effective. Having Lin Ran lead the team to wipe out those guys in the dangerous triangle area has made a great contribution!"

Wen Bixuan looked at the two reports in her hands. The two reports were basically mutually praising each other. The elder guarding the city was full of praise for Lin Ran. The long text was mostly praising Lin Ran and the team she led as brave and resourceful, not only seeing through the enemy's plan to attack Yingling City, but also turning the tables and annihilating the enemy.

Lin Ran's report was relatively pragmatic; she said what she meant and reported the battle situation truthfully.

Upon seeing the two reports, which seemed to be playing a matching game, Wen Bixuan couldn't help but smile slightly. She tossed the two reports onto the table and said indifferently, "All this hypocrisy! I gave him such a team and a large amount of pills as support. If he hadn't achieved something, he could have come back and been kicked out of the academy!"

"Is it so strict?"

Qiu Qingzi took the two reports into her hands, glanced at them a few times, and said, "This is a rare major victory for us after facing those guys in the Danger Triangle for so long. Shouldn't we reward them?"

"We'll talk about rewards after he's truly solved the problem!"

After Wen Bixuan finished speaking, she got up, opened the door, and left Qiu Qingzi's office.

Looking at the closed door, Qiu Qingzi glanced down at the battle report and muttered, "Solving the problem of the dangerous triangle is no easy task. I'd be grateful if they could reduce the number of people coming from over there!"

This kind of problem is not something that Lin Ran and her group can solve by killing. As long as Linghua Academy does not become stronger, it is destined to be attacked by those desperate people in the dangerous triangle. It would be better to pray that Linghua Academy will produce more Undying Realm experts someday!

……

With the combined efforts of Li Qiushui and the other senior elders, Hellflower was finally persuaded to reveal all the information that Lin Ran and the others wanted to know.

When Lin Ran finally received the detailed intelligence, she was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Has it been verified?"

Li Qiushui said, "Of course it has been verified. The location of the stronghold should be fine. The fighting strength of the Tengshan Gang and the Iron-Blooded Asura Gang should also be fine. But the location of those treasures is another matter."

"I took a look before, and that Hell Flower Mouth was quite stubborn, refusing to utter a word no matter what. How did you manage to do it without searching the soul?" Lin Ran was genuinely curious and wanted to learn from their experience so that it might come in handy if he encountered a similar situation in the future.

"Forehead…"

When Lin Ran asked Li Qiushui this question, she didn't know what to say for a moment. In the end, she could only vaguely say, "Although she is stubborn, there are always other places where she is vulnerable!"

After saying this, Li Qiushui hurriedly left, afraid that Lin Ran would continue to ask questions, which would make her feel awkward.

After Li Qiushui left, Lin Ran couldn't help but ponder those words, and then his expression became increasingly strange. He was an experienced person, and he was sure that Li Qiushui and her group wouldn't force Hellflower to speak through another mouth of Hellflower.

"You guys have to know how to play!"

Lin Ran couldn't help but sigh, "How terrifying must it be to become a form of punishment?"

Lin Ran and the others quickly left Yingling Town and headed to provide support to other areas of Linghua Academy.

As for the Hell Flower, after getting the information, Li Qiushui and her group dealt with it cleanly and efficiently. This Hell Flower was no good either. Their Iron-Blooded Asura Gang only recruited women, many of whom were snatched from Linghua Academy. In the end, they were brainwashed and tortured into ruthless, mechanical killers.

Otherwise, the elders of Linghua Academy wouldn't have recognized the Hell Flower so easily upon seeing it, even though they had fought it many times before.

Next, Lin Ran went to various important towns of Linghua Academy to lie in wait. As for the outermost part of Linghua Academy, he gave up because that area had been the most severely exploited and there was no more profit to be made there.

Moreover, a large number of civilians either evacuated to Linghua City or went to other academy cities. These dangerous triangle areas will only focus their attention on these central towns next.

He led his team using the same methods as he had used in Sakura Town. Of course, there were times when plans changed. Some guys in the dangerous triangle area were brainless and charged straight in with their teams. In order to prevent the guard team from suffering too many casualties, he had no choice but to lead his team in ahead of time.

Lin Ran's team consisted entirely of Spirit Core Realm elders, while those from the Danger Triangle who came to plunder were usually from several gangs, each sending one Spirit Core Realm elder, thinking they had it in the bag. They never expected to run into a cunning old fox like Lin Ran, who was there with such a large group of Spirit Core Realm elders. In the end, they could only die with resentment.

Lin Ran's list was also stacked thick. After months of killing with his team, he had brought a brief period of peace to the Linghua Academy area, and no one had sent any teams over for the time being.

But if you don't send someone over, Lin Ran said he's coming over.

The reason he didn't immediately go to the Danger Triangle to suppress the bandits was because there weren't enough people on the list. Now there were a dozen or twenty gangs of all sizes on it. He and the elders, including Li Qiushui, devised a plan that would allow them to travel around the Danger Triangle before returning to Linghua Academy.
