In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 156, The Humans Within the Fire Clan

Underground, at the boundary between magma and air.

Lin Ran glanced at the source of the aura in the distance and saw several humanoid creatures.

Its appearance is humanoid, its skin is flowing speech, its eyebrows and hair are burning flames, and its eyes are flowing lava.

The Spirit Master pulled Lin Ran's hand.

"Captain, it seems we've stolen someone's house."

"We didn't steal it, we just helped move it."

Lin Ran did not put away the crystal. Judging from the aggressive aura of the other party, this matter was unlikely to end well.

Soon, five fire elementals arrived nearby, their auras sealing off the surroundings, and then they began to press down on Lin Ran.

Lin Ran's eyes flashed slightly, and countless transparent sword energies appeared out of thin air in front of him. With the sound of swords being drawn, the oppressive aura was shattered.

The five fire creatures' expressions changed. One of them reached out and grabbed, and the flames in its hand transformed into a spear, which it hurled towards Lin Ran.

However, as soon as it rushed into the area of ​​sword energy, it was cut to pieces.

The sword energy seemed to have found a breakthrough, rushing towards the fire creature, causing its expression to change drastically.

boom!

The fire-type attacker was blasted hundreds of meters away, scattering countless lava-like liquids along the way, seemingly the blood of this race, until it crashed into a large mountain, where the force dissipated.

Upon seeing this, the other four fire creatures immediately lost their will to fight.

A fire-type being with the appearance of a human female spoke in a deep voice.

"Humans, you broke the contract first, and my Fire Clan voluntarily waived the matter. But you went too far, stealing our clan's most precious treasure. Do you really think our Fire Clan is easy to bully!"

"..."

Lin Ran stroked his chin. This statement made perfect sense, indicating that the human race's infiltration work was excellent.

After all, different races and different cultures can only communicate in this way through cultural invasion. Pure force is rarely able to achieve this; such force is usually used to directly crush races.

He thought back carefully and realized that the strongest Fire Clan member was only at the fifth level, equivalent to the mid-level Divine Fire Realm of the Human Race, which was also his current realm.

If a fight breaks out, as long as it's not a group attacking him all at once, he's confident he can kill his opponent. Even if he can't, he can run away on the spot.

"hold head high."

Lin Ran looked at the female-looking Fire Clan member and nodded.

Fire Clan: ...

The temperature immediately soared, and the Fire Clan was extremely angry, but they chose not to attack.

After a while, the temperature dropped a bit, and the female fire creature suppressed her anger.

"Humans, exchange the Fire Spirit for our race. Our race has agreed to the previous conditions."

"Fire Essence... Conditions? Tell me."

Lin Ran's eyes lit up slightly as she grasped a key point.

Fire Clan: ...

Are humans toying with them?!

The female fire creature explained that the Fire Essence is the place where the fire creatures are born, which is the crystal that Lin Ran is holding now.

The previous condition was that the human race helped the fire race repel the external enemy, and the reward was the right to use a portion of the fire spirits.

When fire essence is infused with the aura of other races, the resulting fire race will naturally be drawn to that race.

Lin Ran suddenly realized that it was a plan to exterminate the alien race!

No wonder he felt something was off.

The plan to exterminate the alien race requires three conditions to be met: the first option is the human race's Heavenly Eye Imprint, and a guarantee from a peak transcendent being. Only when these three conditions are met can the truth be known.

Those with superhuman abilities can also view the specific details.

He patted the spirit master's head and transmitted his voice to her.

"Can you tell who the strongest member of the Fire Clan is?"

"I'll give it a try."

After a moment of silence, the Spirit Lord transmitted his voice,

"There are three peak fifth-tier individuals, three mid-fifth-tier individuals, and twelve early-fifth-tier individuals, but it seems that not all of them are from the Fire Clan."

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Ran nodded, tossed the crystal in her hand, which made the fire clan members extremely angry, but they dared not make any rash moves, because the fire spirit was very fragile and could be broken if they were not careful.

"Humans, do not push your luck. We have already given you the maximum we can demand."

The female fire creature spoke in a deep voice, her eyes, filled with flowing magma, fixed on Lin Ran.

Lin Ran didn't take it to heart and smiled faintly.

"Take me to your main city. The situation has changed, and the original conditions need to be modified."

"Humans! Do you really think we are...?"

boom!

Lin Ran slowly withdrew her fist, her expression turning blank.

Apart from the female fire clan member, the other three fire clan members were all blasted away and their presence could no longer be detected.

Lin Ran put away the fire essence, clapped his hands, and looked at the female fire tribe member.

"You can't understand human language, but I can help you understand, what do you say?"

"...I understand, please follow me."

The female fire race member lowered her head, fearing that this human would punch her to death.

That punch just now, this person clearly held back his strength, otherwise the three fire clans would have been blown to bits on the spot!

Inside the Fire Clan City.

Lin Ran looked at the familiar buildings on both sides of the street and fell into deep thought.

This is completely the style of the human race's mother realm. They've already invaded culture to this extent, so how come they still haven't been able to conquer the Fire Clan?

We can obtain a portion of the mere fire spirits and then send them to the Heavenly Dao of the Mother Realm for divination. The remaining fire race will have no reason to survive.

Filled with doubt, they followed the Fire Clan to the Human Clan's encampment within the Fire Clan City.

A female fire elementalist gestures.

"This is the place you're looking for."

"Um."

Lin Ran nodded, and as she approached, the gate opened automatically, revealing a dozen people waiting in the courtyard.

The gate slowly closed.

Lin Ran looked around, scanning each person's face one by one. None of them were familiar, and their auras were completely unfamiliar.

The other party was also observing him. After confirming that he was human, their expression improved somewhat. However, when they saw the Spirit Lord, their face darkened again.

The Spirit Master hid behind Lin Ran, only daring to peek out half her head. Fortunately, all the oppressive aura was blocked in front of her, and she was not affected at all.

"Was this sent out by one of your people?"

Lin Ran suddenly took out the Fire Essence, gestured to it, and then put it back in the ring.

The expressions on the other side's faces changed.

A man stepped out from the crowd and asked in a deep voice, his face very unpleasant.

"You're not an official?!"

"He's an official, but not the person you're dealing with. He's the one who delivers the items. He's got my identity wrong."

Lin Ran shrugged.

The other party fell silent, truly not expecting this turn of events.

Who would have thought that other humans, and not weak ones at that, would come to this place so far from the human homeland, practically a godforsaken place!

After a moment of silence.

Lin Ran said,

"Tell me your plans. I'm also here to destroy the Fire Clan. Perhaps we can cooperate."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other group changed, and they became very skeptical of Lin Ran's words.

bang bang bang...

Lin Ran revealed his aura, instantly shattering the combined auras of all the opponents, and then suppressed them in the opposite direction, causing everyone except those in the mid-level Divine Fire Realm to retreat three or four steps!

Lin Ran calmed her breathing and remained composed.

After a short period of quiet,

The person who just came out said,

"Third brother, bring a stool and activate the highest level of shielding."

"Yes, boss."

Soon, tables and chairs were set up, one for Lin Ran and one for the Spirit Master. They also inspected many dishes, half of which came from the human race and the other half were strangely shaped, probably from the fire race.

Both parties took their seats.

Lin Ran handed an enormous, fiery red fruit to the Spirit Master and asked the leader of the group.

"What's the situation now?"
