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

After dealing with the elderly and frail Elder Heng outside, Wen Qianyi came to Xin Zhiqing's side and couldn't help but ask, "How much have you collected?"

"what!"

When Xin Zhiqing saw Wen Qianyi suddenly appear beside her, she gasped in surprise. Relieved to see it was Wen Qianyi, she patted her chest and handed the two large bags to her, saying, "I've done as you instructed and collected the most valuable items from this warehouse, but there's still a lot left..."

Wen Qianyi noticed the extra bag and asked curiously, "Why is there an extra bag?"

Xin Zhiqing lowered her head, looking at her toes, and said shyly, "My Guangming Hall usually keeps quite a few storage rings for goods. There are many rare medicinal herbs here, and I felt it would be a waste to just let them go to waste, so I took the liberty of using them to store them..."

"Not too stupid!"

Wen Qianyi said coldly, then unceremoniously put the two bags in her hands into her spatial ring. She then looked around the warehouse and asked Xin Zhiqing, who was following behind, "Is this the most precious warehouse of the Medicine King Sect?"

“Yes, but I don’t know if the Medicine King Sect has any other important treasures hidden. After asking around for so long, all I know is that this warehouse is the most important in the Medicine King Sect, and it’s usually only for the elders to use!” Xin Zhiqing explained.

"The inventory is indeed quite good..."

Wen Qianyi glanced at it, and if she hadn't run out of space rings, she really would have liked to pack the whole thing up and take it with her.

"that…"

Xin Zhiqing looked at Wen Qianyi, who had a serious expression, and asked cautiously, "How is Elder Heng...?"

"I'm dead. My body and soul have been burned to ashes!"

Seeing that she still had space in her spatial ring, Wen Qianyi began to wander around the shelves, looking for anything she could pick up, while answering Xin Zhiqing's questions.

Upon hearing that Elder Heng was dead, Xin Zhiqing's expression brightened, as if the gloom in her heart had been swept away, and her mind became clear. She quickly said, "I remember there's a warehouse up ahead that seems to have a lot of spatial rings. Why don't we go there and get them, and then come back and put everything here in there?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Qianyi's eyes lit up, and she immediately led Xin Zhiqing away from the warehouse: "Where is it? Point it out to me!"

“Over there in the northeast corner!” Xin Zhiqing pointed.

An hour later, everyone in Dancheng was drawn to the sudden, earth-shattering explosion in the city center. The mushroom cloud that had appeared in the sky could be seen from afar, and the shockwave had caused varying degrees of damage to the surrounding houses.

The riots that had been raging throughout Dan City all ceased spontaneously. Some members of the Medicine King Sect, looking in that direction, couldn't help but mutter, "That place looks so much like our Medicine King Sect!"

"Dude, that's your Medicine King Sect!"

Someone nearby said gloatingly, "Your Medicine King Sect has been raided!"

"what?!"

This was probably the first reaction of all the guards, guest elders and other members of the Medicine King Sect who were still in Dan City: What happened to their home?

……

Rewinding the clock a bit, after Lin Ran had alerted the group outside the city, she was about to head to the South Gate when she received a message from Qian Yi: "Senior, Xin Zhiqing has made her move. When I followed her to protect her, I noticed that there was a Nirvana Realm cultivator secretly following her."

"That must be Meisu's backup plan. Don't rush to make your move. Wait until that guy makes a move against Xin Zhiqing before launching a sneak attack!"

Lin Ran thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Is the Medicine King Sect wealthy?"

“So fat it’s dripping with oil!” Wen Qianyi replied.

"My dear Qianyi, remember to do a free shopping spree!" Lin Ran said.

"You make stealing sound so interesting, senior. You should be careful too!" Wen Qianyi said worriedly.

"I see!"

After exchanging words with Wen Qianyi, Lin Ran set off towards the South Gate. When he arrived at the outskirts of the South Gate, there was a group of people facing off in the sky above the mountains, which were quite far from Dan City, but neither of them had made a move.

After finding a safe spot in the mountains, Lin Ran took out her binoculars and looked into the distance. She saw Mei Su and a group of people surrounding a rather thin and short old man. The old man had white hair and beard and was dressed in simple, close-fitting clothes, but he looked very energetic and his eyes were full of sharp light.

"This must be Lu Tiancheng, the leader of the Holy Sky Academy this time, the Dean of the Inner Court, who is at the eighth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm," Lin Ran thought to herself.

Despite looking like a frail old man, his strength is three stars higher than that of their Dean, Wen Bixuan.

From the air, Lu Tiancheng looked at Mei Su not far away, and the two Dragon Transformation Realm experts from the Nebula Pavilion and the Spirit Treasure Sect beside her, and shouted sharply, "Do you three families not care about the reputation of this auction?"

Mei Su couldn't help but laugh, stroking his white beard: "Dean Lü has known about our dangerous triangle area for so many years, doesn't he know that reputation is of no use here?"

Lu Tiancheng snorted coldly and said in a cold voice, "You guys found me pretty quickly. It seems that the tree heart fragment tampered with it!"

Mei Su wasn't surprised that Lü Tiancheng could discover it. If even a veteran powerhouse couldn't detect such a trick, then one might have to question his strength. But whether he could erase it was another matter entirely.

"Dean Lü, although you are at the eighth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, I have three Dragon Transformation Realm experts here. I wonder how Elder Lü plans to deal with this?"

As soon as Mei Su finished speaking, Yue Rou, the Pavilion Master of Xingyun Pavilion, Jin Ge, the Sect Master of Lingbao Sect, and their Medicine King Sect's Dragon Transformation Realm expert, an ordinary old man dressed in gray clothes, all unleashed the powerful aura of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Even in the sky, the leaking aura made the onlookers below feel as if a thousand mountains were pressing down on them. Some with weak strength were even squeezed into a mass of flesh and blood by the pressure and died on the spot.

The powerful figures from the Medicine King Sect, Nebula Pavilion, and Spirit Treasure Sect were also forced to use their spiritual power to resist this formidable aura.

When this aura pressed down on Lü Tiancheng, Lü Tiancheng couldn't help but grunt, his eyes full of disdain as he said, "These little fish and shrimps, these third or fourth-level Dragon Transformation Realm guys dare to challenge me, they really don't know what's good for them!"

"Now I'll show you what the Dragon Transformation Realm is all about!"

Lu Tiancheng roared at the sky, and an aura no less powerful than that of the three opponents at the Dragon Transformation Realm surged out from his thin body like a tide. The aura even affected the space, and the surrounding space became illusory.

Two overwhelming forces spread through the air and collided, creating astonishing aftershocks.

Lin Ran, watching this scene from below, couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement:

"I wonder when I'll be able to do that!"

……

27. Open and open

Although Lin Ran himself is at the ninth level of Nirvana Realm, he is still far from the Dragon Transformation Realm. He wants to build a spatial core like Shangguan Mengqing to lay the foundation for the Dragon Transformation Realm. Moreover, he will wait for the Dragon Breaking Pill to be refined and everything will be ready before advancing to the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Of course, if there really isn't that opportunity, then this is the only way to advance to the Dragon Transformation Realm. But according to Fan Hua, his potential wasn't particularly outstanding to begin with. If he were to advance to the Dragon Transformation Realm like this, he might find it very difficult to make any progress in the Dragon Transformation Realm, as his foundation would greatly affect his future advancement.

"Blooming Flowers!"

Lin Ran couldn't help but call out, then asked, "Do you know where there are any treasures? Are there any that can lay the foundation for the Dragon Transformation Realm? I want to be like those guys up there. Please help me!"

A moment later, Fan Hua said with a hint of helplessness, "How can I help you with these things? Why don't you give me your spatial ring and I'll see what you have that might be useful? What if there's a rare treasure here that can help you reach the Foundation Establishment Dragon Transformation Realm?"

Fan Hua felt that the possibility of Lin Ran having such a treasure was too low. If Lin Ran really had such a treasure that could help her reach the Foundation Establishment and Dragon Transformation Realm, then she would have to wonder if these so-called treasures were now commonplace.

She didn't want Lin Ran's spatial ring to do anything bad. She was just bored here and could only see things from Lin Ran's perspective, so she decided to find something to do and help Lin Ran organize the spatial ring, categorizing and placing it neatly. Maybe she could even find something useful among the junk.

"That's great! Help me tidy up. There's so much junk inside, I haven't cleaned it up much!" Lin Ran took off her spatial ring, and with a flash of golden light, the ring disappeared into thin air.

Meanwhile, in Lin Ran's mental ocean, inside the floating tassel palace, Fan Hua obtained Lin Ran's spatial ring and examined it closely. Curious, she asked Lin Ran, "Where did you get such a spatial ring? This is a high-grade item!"

Such a high-level spatial ring, with such exquisite craftsmanship, is hardly befitting the stingy patriarch of this small family.

"Sigh, speaking of this, I have to tell you, this was something my wife forced on me back then, and I had no choice but to accept it. How about that? Isn't it great!" Lin Ran said smugly.

Anyway, before those guys even started fighting, Lin Ran began telling Fan Hua about his past love stories. Fan Hua listened selectively to these stories; she couldn't let this philandering man brainwash her, or she would end up like Shangguan Mengqing or Qianyi—the thought was terrifying!

Fan Hua found an open space in the tassel palace and slowly took out the items from Lin Ran's spatial ring, sorting them into piles and then throwing them back into the spatial ring in batches. This was undoubtedly a huge undertaking.

Seeing that Fan Hua was focused on her work, Lin Ran didn't disturb her. He continued to watch the standoff in the sky with his binoculars. Both sides were exuding a powerful aura, but it seemed that they were just trying to intimidate each other and hadn't started fighting yet. Clearly, neither side had much confidence.

But as more and more people arrived in the vicinity, the situation became increasingly unpredictable. No one dared to make a move rashly, mainly because Lü Tiancheng's strength was indeed too formidable. He possessed the strength of an eighth-level Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator, and it would take three Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators on their side working together to contend with him. If Lü Tiancheng had someone to help him, then they would be the ones in trouble.

"Hehe, everyone, it's really lively here! I almost missed the show!"

The sudden laughter caused both sides in the confrontation to change their expressions and look towards the source of the sound. Upon closer inspection, they saw that Mei Su and the others looked rather unwell.

They all recognized the figure who approached. He was wearing a long blue robe, his cascading black hair was tied back with a hair crown, and his face was as delicate as a woman's. But this person was not a woman; he was Lin Yi, the outer dean of the Azure Dragon Academy and a five-star expert in the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Lin Yi arrived, stepping through the air and standing between Lü Tiancheng and Mei Su's group. Ignoring the oppressive aura emanating from both sides, he glanced at Mei Su's group with his delicate, almost feminine face, and said with a handsome smile, "Mr. Mei Su, I didn't expect that your Medicine King Sect, Nebula Pavilion, and Spirit Treasure Sect, as the organizers of the auction, would do such a thing to the distinguished guests who have purchased the items. Doesn't that sound rather disrespectful?"

Mei Su's face was gloomy, but she forced a smile and said, "Dean Lin Yi, are you trying to interfere?"

Lin Yi shook his head and joked, "I just came here to urge you guys to start fighting so I can reap the benefits. There are two colleagues down there, Dean Wen and Dean Yue, right?"

Dean Wenling and Dean Yue Jinling, who were still lurking below, also had several changes in their expressions. They exchanged glances, and finally Wenling shook his head and said, "Let's go. Lin Yi did it on purpose!"

"Hmph, after all these years, this person is still just as repulsive!"

Yue Jinling clearly didn't have a good impression of Lin Yi. This man had singled them out at this time and eliminated their idea of ​​reaping the benefits without lifting a finger.

Wen Ling wasn't reckless; he went over alone while the other elders stayed behind. Elder Chen also shielded Lin Chong behind him and whispered, "Kid, don't do anything rash later. Stay close to me, understand?"

"Yes!"

Lin Chong nodded, feeling quite nervous. There were seven powerful experts at the Dragon Transformation Realm gathered in the sky. If the two sides were to fight, this place would become a hell. Ordinary people who got close would probably be killed by the aftershocks of the battle.

At the same time, Lin Chong couldn't help but feel his heart surge with excitement. The power of the Dragon Transformation Realm ignited a strong desire in him to become stronger. He still needed to train and fight, only in this way could he quickly increase his strength.

"Perhaps we need to seek some changes!"

Lin Chong wondered to himself whether he should go out and gain some experience before returning.

Lin Ran, watching from afar, was thrilled by the scene of the seven Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators confronting each other. He really wanted them to start fighting, but it was clear that these guys were all old foxes. They stood there for most of the day, just spouting empty rhetoric. They looked impressive, but in reality, there wasn't even a little bit of friction.

Lu Tiancheng also knew that his situation was unfavorable. Lin Yi seemed to be neutral, but in fact he had pulled Wen Ling of Tianli and Yue Jinling of Songling over, creating a three-way standoff. It was possible that the two sides would attack him together.

Do you really think the five major academies are all in cahoots? As the second-ranked academy for so many years, how could Shengqiong Academy not know about Canglong Academy? This academy has done countless shameless things like this.

"Everyone in the academy!"

Lu Tiancheng cupped his hands towards Wen Ling and the others and said, "Our five academies are of one mind. You will escort me back to the Holy Sky Academy with me. We will study the fragments of the Tree of Wisdom's heart together. What do you say?"

These words made Mei Su and the others' faces turn ugly. Mei Su quickly spoke up to harass them, saying, "Are the five great academies really all in cahoots? This is probably the biggest joke I've ever heard. Your Holy Sky Academy has kicked Tianli and Songling, which are inferior to you, when they were down many times. You still want others to help you? Perhaps you're being a bit naive!"

Lu Tiancheng shouted, "Mei Su, you will be punished for sowing discord among our five academies!"

"retribution?"

Mei Su couldn't help but sneer and said calmly, "I haven't done as many bad things as you, Lü Tiancheng. I remember during that Continental Academy Competition, didn't your Holy Sky Academy secretly rig things and harm a bunch of students? There were so many who died!"

"You...you're spouting nonsense!"

Lu Tiancheng's face darkened. Faced with Mei Su's slander, he found it difficult to explain. Back then, their Holy Sky Academy did bear some responsibility, but it was certainly not the whole responsibility. However, even if he explained, Tianli and Songling would not listen.

Just as Mei Su finished speaking, Deans Tianli and Songling both turned their attention to the Holy Sky Academy, their expressions quite unpleasant.

They still remember the Continental Academy Tournament where the most students died. They suffered heavy losses that year, with a near-complete loss of outstanding disciples. It took them a long time to recover, but they had already lost the right to compete for the top two spots in the academy rankings.

Dean Wenling, however, displayed remarkable composure, calmly stating, "Dean Lü, Tianli Academy will not be fooled by such words. In reality, we at Tianli Academy are merely passing by; we will not participate in this conflict!"

"Our Songling Academy is one of them!"

Yue Jinling quickly added.

Lin Yi, with a faint smile on his face, said when he felt Mei Su looking at him, "Me too!"
