The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

The powerful figures from other major cities asked the powerful figures from Azure Dragon City with curiosity.

The faces of the several powerful figures from Canglong City who were asked the question stiffened.

"The fighting was intense. It went from the inner city to the slums, and then to the wilderness. The huge crater left in the wilderness has now become a lake. But Gu Ran wasn't fighting the elders of the ruling center; he was fighting the succubus general Lilith."

A powerful figure from Azure Dragon City recalled.

"It was at that time that I realized how strong the Demon General was. Of course, Gu Ran was even stronger at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to defeat and drive Lilith away."

It seemed that the memory was deeply etched in his mind. The powerful figure from Canglong City suddenly trembled, as if he had seen that terrifying battle scene.

"Lilith, the Succubus General... In legends, succubi are known for their skill in seducing male humans and male demons. Their direct combat strength has never been described much. I didn't know that succubi could be this strong in direct combat?"

"I never imagined that such internal strife had occurred in Azure Dragon City. The ruling center actually cooperated with the Abyss Demons. They were not only dragon traitors, but human traitors as well."

Everyone knows that the human realm, the celestial realm, and the abyss realm are about to merge, and at that time, the abyss demons will be a more troublesome matter than the mermaid race.

Therefore, cooperating with demons in the abyss and betraying human interests is absolutely despicable.

However, upon hearing that the battle between Gu Ran and Lilith was so thrilling, everyone became quite interested.

After all, both of them possess the strength to stand at the pinnacle of the world. Even though most people have now reached the level of martial arts grandmaster and S-class superhuman, there are still differences between martial arts grandmasters and between S-class superhumans.

Let alone now, even back then, no one was confident that they could hold out against Gu Ran for long.

......

In the light screen.

Gu Ran did not immediately go to Elder Shu to take their heads.

Instead, he was observing the location of the red dot in the environment using the device Xue Yingsong had given him.

There's only one red dot, so it must be the "companion" Xue Yingsong mentioned who might help him.

While it might feel great to just rush out and start killing, it's too unskillful.

Countless movie plots related to special operations flashed through Gu Ran's mind as he pondered how to launch the attack.

There wasn't just one enemy, but six.

He had to make sure he could eliminate the six guaranteed targets, who were all martial arts masters and S-class superhumans.

It has to be said that if six top experts of this caliber were to be lost, even Canglong City would suffer a significant loss of resources. After all, it takes an unknown amount of resources to cultivate a martial arts master and an S-level superhuman.

However, if they are not killed, it will ignite a civil war in Azure Dragon City, and with the addition of the demon legion outside, the losses will be even greater.

Gu Ran didn't really care about how much Canglong City had lost; he simply sighed.

Now all he has to do is find out the whereabouts of these six people. If they are together, then he will have to face six top-level experts directly, and he may not be able to defeat them.

If these six people were to separate, he would have to find them one by one, which might alert them and cause some of them to escape and hide. In that case, a civil war might really break out.

Seeing the location of the red dot on the screen, Gu Ran seized the opportunity to evade the guards in the central area and sneak in.

The red dot marks the location of the famous central area of ​​Canglong City, which is entirely comprised of the ruling center and its subordinate departments.

It is heavily fortified and covers a vast area.

Since he was preparing to become an "assassin," Gu Ran naturally had to take it seriously and do things befitting his identity.

Gu Ran, who had infiltrated the central area, suddenly saw the red dot walking towards him.

Startled, he hid behind a corner, held his breath, and used his mental power to blend into his surroundings.

"This body shape looks somewhat familiar."

Gu Ran searched his memory.

A moment later, Gu Ran's eyes narrowed; he remembered.

"So this inside man was Ye Ding..."

Gu Ran remembered that she had handed Ye Ding over to Xue Yingsong and the others, but when she returned, she did not see him.

At that time, although he was a little curious, he didn't pay much attention to it.

It turns out they were turned and sent back.

However, Gu Ran suddenly thought of the psychic ability user who had always stayed by Xue Yingsong's side.

Could this be the reason why Xue Yingsong has been carrying that psychic ability user around all this time?

Did he... anticipate this all along?!

167. A Far East City warrior's intrusion? The punishment for rudeness! 4k

It is obvious that the superhuman Xue Yingsong brought with him is indeed a support type, but his support is not in combat, but is related to people's hearts.

Previously, he helped Xue Yingsong enhance the persuasiveness of his broadcast speeches. Could his special ability also play a role in turning Ye Ding to the side?

Or perhaps, it was some kind of threat that forced Ye Ding to side with Xue Yingsong.

So, was Xue Yingsong keeping that psychic ability user by his side in preparation for this situation?

Did he anticipate the current situation all along?

A series of questions kept arising in Gu Ran's mind.

Suddenly, a new question arose in Gu Ran's mind.

Is Xue Yingsong using him to achieve some kind of goal?

However, after carefully considering and recalling her experiences with Xue Yingsong, Gu Ran temporarily rejected this conjecture.

Xue Yingsong may have had his own ideas, or perhaps he had made arrangements beforehand, but he did not show any malice towards him.

But this time, Xue Yingsong must be hiding something from him.

For example, Xue Yingsong's arrangement was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather something that had been planned in advance.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for everything to be arranged so perfectly—although Xue Yingsong appeared to be very passive, as if everything was forced upon her by the ruling center.

So what about his decapitation operation this time?

Gu Ran appeared in front of Ye Ding while pondering.

The two were very close, enough to ensure that Gu Ran could strike instantly and accurately.

Even Li Zhongming, a martial arts master, was killed by him with a single blow. An S-level ability user, especially a mental S-level ability user, was easily killed with a single blow.

Ye Ding was neither flustered nor surprised when he saw Gu Ran suddenly appear, as if he had expected it.

"The remaining six senior officials in the ruling center are all in the central region. Because you killed Li Zhongming, the intelligence was not transmitted back in time, so they still trust me relatively much, at least they did not arrest me on the spot."

Ye Ding calmly explained the situation to Gu Ran.

Gu Ran had been observing Ye Ding, and he felt that Ye Ding's situation was... a little too normal, which in turn became abnormal.

If Ye Ding were to turn against them, the most likely explanation is either that he has been affected by a mental ability, in which case he would likely exhibit some abnormalities, or that he has been coerced or tempted, in which case he would likely have some emotional involvement.

However, the Ye Ding who appeared in front of Gu Ran showed no abnormalities and his emotions were very stable.

"Do you know how your family was wiped out?" Gu Ran suddenly asked.

Ye Ding's face twitched slightly: "Are you mocking me?"

Gu Ran was certainly not mocking Ye Ding; he wasn't that free. He was just testing Ye Ding, probing his state of mind.

As for whether he was afraid of Ye Ding turning against him, he really wasn't.

After all, so what if Ye Ding turns his back? How much harm can he do to him?

On the contrary, Ye Ding, who had witnessed his strength, needed to worry about how long he would live after turning against him.

"I once killed a woman named Ye Liqing. I don't know what your relationship is with her?" Gu Ran's tone was calm, but his words sounded aggressive.

“That’s one of my granddaughters,” Ye Ding said calmly.

"I killed your granddaughter, don't you hate me?" Gu Ran asked.

“I don’t only have one granddaughter. Besides, if I were to choose someone to hate, you wouldn’t be on the list. Xue Yingsong has purged countless members of the Ye family at Lanxin University. And it’s not just one granddaughter who has been killed.” Ye Ding glanced at Gu Ran. “Alright, stop testing me. I’m siding with Xue Yingsong because I only help the winning side. Whoever wins, I’ll help.”

Gu Ran wasn't surprised that Ye Ding saw through his probing intentions, but he was somewhat astonished by Ye Ding's pragmatism.

After all, they were enemies who fought to the death before, but in just a short while they became allies. It has to be said that the situation changed very quickly.

"Although those Ye family members who infiltrated Lanxin University have been purged, the Ye family isn't just those people. I still have a few illegitimate children. I'll just make them legitimate when the time comes. Heh, I can only say that he truly deserves to be the all-powerful president of Lanxin University. He was even able to find out about these things."

Ye Ding gave a mocking laugh, it was unclear whether he was mocking Xue Yingsong or himself.

Gu Ran roughly guessed why Ye Ding had sided with them.

Although Xue Yingsong purged the Ye family members within Lanxin University, the Ye family appeared to have been wiped out.

However, Ye Ding, that old scoundrel, secretly had several illegitimate children, which Xue Yingsong discovered.

If anything happens to these illegitimate children, then the Ye family line will truly end, unless Ye Ding has a few more children.

However, if he hadn't agreed to surrender, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to have another son.

With his life and death in their hands, and with their weaknesses exploited, plus the ability of a superhuman who could enhance the persuasiveness of his words, persuading Ye Ding to surrender was indeed not a difficult task.

Ye Ding continued, "Actually, with your strength, even if you directly stormed in, your chances of winning would be very high. My main role was to confirm the positions of several elders."

"However, what I didn't expect was that there were other gains."
