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

Moreover, they all harbor ulterior motives towards each other, making it impossible for them to cooperate without any reservations.

They all gambled that the other was stupid enough to believe the "agreement" to join forces against the enemy, and then rushed at full strength to fight Gu Ran, creating an opportunity for themselves to escape.

But the fact is that none of them are easy to deal with; they've survived to this day and grown to their current strength.

They were all having the same idea.

326. Gu Ran's Angry Reign: The Countdown to the Cleansing of Canglong City Begins! (4k)

Although the martial arts masters were very fast, their movements were futile within Gu Ran's "psychic domain".

The previously scattered mental energy suddenly condensed!

The characteristic of materialized telekinesis is that the more it is condensed, the more resilient it becomes. The reason they were able to escape was because telekinesis was in a relatively dispersed state, allowing them to break through from a single point.

However, now that Gu Ran has condensed his mental power, the constraints they face will be several times stronger than before!

A spear materialized from psychic energy pierced towards the chest of the white-browed martial arts master, who was the strongest among them.

"Ho!"

The spiritual energy surged wildly into the dantian of the white-browed martial arts master. With a roar, he poured his extraordinary spiritual power into his right arm.

However, instead of directly confronting the psychic spear that had given him a great sense of crisis, he punched the ground.

boom!

A huge cloud of dust billowed up, obscuring the figure of the white-browed martial arts master.

However, because of this punch, he could no longer defend against that telekinetic spear.

As if the air had been compressed, a deep, bloody hole appeared on the chest of the white-browed martial arts master.

This is the price he just chose.

The purpose was to create dust at the scene, giving him an opportunity to escape.

Although the wound looks serious, if he manages to escape, he will only need to rest for a few days.

However, such a strategy might work against others, but it would be completely ineffective against Gu Ran.

He basically doesn't need his eyes to locate enemies.

His telekinesis is more effective than his eyesight.

The next moment, the white-browed martial arts master, who thought his scheme had succeeded, was shocked to find something in front of him that made him feel threatened again!

Because of the information gap, he chose the wrong escape strategy.

At this moment, the white-browed martial arts master also realized his mistake and recalled some rumors about Gu Ran. He knew that he might have a hard time escaping successfully.

But having grown up to this point, he has encountered countless dangers, including life-or-death crises, and he would never sit idly by and wait to die.

His long, white eyebrows instantly swelled up, like ever-growing seaweed, stretching out continuously.

These swollen white eyebrows immediately entwined like vines around the telekinetic weapons in front of him.

The white-browed martial arts master's eyes also turned white, but they were filled with bloodshot veins and bulged outwards.

It was as if these white, vine-like, seaweed-like eyebrows had taken root in his eyeballs, nourishing them.

"They do have some strength, but it's not enough."

Gu Ran said calmly.

Then, the telekinetic sword that had been entangled by those unrestrained white eyebrows broke through the obstruction and severed those white eyebrows.

"what?!"

Although he had anticipated that he was no match for Gu Ran, he did not expect that even with his best efforts, he would not be able to withstand Gu Ran's attacks for long.

How long was that short period of time? Two breaths, or three breaths?

Although he initially acknowledged Gu Ran's strength and considered him stronger than himself, he still had some doubts about whether Gu Ran could be called the strongest in the Human Alliance.

But now he realized how narrow-minded he had been; his white eyebrows, which could have snapped steel, could only hold him off for three breaths.

This turned the white-browed warrior's face ashen, and he completely lost the courage to continue resisting.

The telekinetic spear pierced through the white-clad martial arts master's body, pinning him to the ground.

As for the other martial arts masters, their strength was even inferior to that of the white-browed martial arts master, and they were easily restrained by Gu Ran once again.

"Tell me, what exactly is this so-called Martial Arts Alliance, and how did they come to control the current ruling center?"

Gu Ran looked at the white-browed martial arts master who was pinned to the ground.

"You are capable of your current abilities and are a respectable person. I think you wouldn't want to do anything undignified in front of so many people, would you? I will mute the noise in the room so they can't hear what we're saying. Afterwards, I will check your answers against theirs one by one."

"If your answer... doesn't satisfy me, ha, that means you probably don't care much about the martial arts golden core you've worked so hard to cultivate."

The next moment, the white-browed martial arts master was horrified to find a slight pain in his dantian. He knew that the invisible "weapon" was aimed at his dantian.

Gu Ran is threatening him with his martial arts golden core!

For a martial arts master, nothing is more precious than their own strength and their martial arts golden core.

Without the Golden Core of Martial Arts, they would become powerless "useless people," going from being high and mighty to being seen as "ants" in their eyes.

They were ridiculed and insulted at will.

Even death did not terrify them as much as losing their martial arts golden core.

Seeing the fear in the eyes of the white-browed martial arts master, Gu Ran knew that his threat had worked.

Having had many dealings with martial arts masters, he is well aware of their characteristics.

The white-browed martial arts master gave a bitter smile, knowing he had failed this time.

"After you disappeared, Canglong City was in chaos for several days, and many forces took the opportunity to seize assets and territories that did not originally belong to them."

"Many forces also took the opportunity to eliminate their original enemies. Four of the original eight martial arts dojos were greatly weakened by the arrival of the alien species and were swallowed up by other forces."

Gu Ran seemed to be deep in thought.

It seems that due to the lack of a sufficiently authoritative or powerful person to keep order, Canglong City has entered a state of disorder.

The arrival of alien species disrupted the existing power structure, making many forces feel that their opportunity had arrived, thus making the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.

"Half a month later, Wu Shengyuan, the current leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, invited all the martial arts masters in Canglong City to discuss the reconstruction of Canglong City... Of course, the so-called discussion on the reconstruction of Canglong City was actually just a way to divide the spoils, and you can guess the final result."

"The top families and martial arts schools in the Martial Arts Alliance have received the best profit sharing, while other families and martial arts schools are also vying to join the Martial Arts Alliance for more benefits."

"The Martial Arts Alliance has become the highest authority in Canglong City, and Martial Saint Source has become the de facto ruler of Canglong City."

Gu Ran frowned slightly.

He knew about Wu Shengyuan; he was the current head of the Wu family.

The Wu family is quite strong, but in Canglong City they are only considered upper-middle class. It is only because Wu Shengyuan is stronger that the Wu family's status has been raised considerably.

However, Wu Shengyuan is a very low-key person. It is said that he usually stays in seclusion to cultivate martial arts and does not pay much attention to worldly affairs.

Even after becoming the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance two years ago, he has basically kept a low profile.

However, he has now reversed his usual style and become the biggest beneficiary of this incident.

Could it be that Wu Shengyuan had been biding his time all along, only lacking a suitable opportunity, which is why he had been lying low all this time?

"Then what about Lanxin University? And... what about my students?" Gu Ran asked again.

He wasn't in a hurry about Wu Shengyuan's matter. No matter what kind of person he was, in this world, strength ultimately speaks for itself.

Even if they seize the highest power in Canglong City while he's away, so what? Unless their strength surpasses his.

Otherwise, all efforts for power will ultimately be in vain.

The white-browed martial arts master hesitated for a moment, but seeing Gu Ran's threatening gaze, he continued:

"If you're asking those Lanxin University students wearing artificial mechanical exoskeletons... then you should be prepared."

Are you mentally prepared?

Gu Ran's heart skipped a beat.

"Say!"

A murderous glint appeared in Gu Ran's eyes.

The white-browed martial arts master dared not delay and immediately began to speak fluently, like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

"The arrival of the alien species has caused a lot of damage to Lanxin University. Coupled with the death of Principal Xue and your disappearance, Lanxin University has lost its original important position. Originally, Lanxin University was not involved in this redistribution of interests."

"But after Wu Shengyuan redistributed the interests of the various forces in Canglong City, he suddenly turned his attention to the students at Lanxin University who had artificial mechanical exoskeletons, saying that they were all... your lackeys, and that they had also conspired to participate in the extraterrestrial alien invasion."

As he spoke, the white-browed martial arts master glanced at Gu Ran.

"Of course, that was also the beginning of Wu Shengyuan's attack on you. In his view, everything was your fault, it was all a conspiracy by you, an outsider, and those who were close to you were your accomplices."

"Thus, a massive purge began in Azure Dragon City. Everyone connected to you was massacred, and even some complete strangers were accused of the same crimes and executed..."

The killing intent in Gu Ran's eyes suddenly intensified, almost to the point of dripping.

"You mean, all my students have been executed?"

The words, almost spat out between clenched teeth, made the white-browed martial arts master tremble as if they were swords.
