I started by controlling his master, and the protagonist begged me to slow down my kicking.

A sacred and secret realm, a dense forest.

"In other words, your true form senses that there is something dangerous within this secret realm."

"Then, I used my mind to project you over here."

"The goal is to get you to find a kind person to help seal that dangerous thing away."

"So, after you were projected here, you didn't encounter any kind people, but instead ran into a bunch of monkeys, and ended up being chased all the way here?"

After listening to the Loli Human Emperor's lengthy overview, Cheng Ran summarized it simply.

"Yes, that's it."

The loli-like human emperor nodded hurriedly, then let out a long sigh:

"What a curse! Nothing good ever comes from coming to the mortal realm! I'd rather just sleep in the upper realm!"

Cheng Ran shrugged and laughed shamelessly:

"How can you say it's all bad news? Didn't you have a great time when you came to the mortal realm last time?"

Good for your size!

Seeing you, you jerk, makes everything else miserable!

The loli emperor gritted her teeth in anger.

She knew that the villain in front of her was just taking advantage of the fact that she was just a remnant soul without any cultivation!

But she had no choice.

It seems that my true form is unable to descend to the lower realm for some reason...

We have no choice but to send her to be this poor ambassador from the lower realm!

After a long while, the little girl put her hands on her hips, looking unhappy.

"snort!"

"Well......."

Cheng Ran pursed his lips speechlessly; this loli human emperor really didn't resemble an immortal from the upper realm at all.

This made him wonder what kind of personality the Human Emperor himself actually had...

However, compared to this loli human emperor, the more crucial issue now is the evil entity she mentioned.

That thing could make the Human Emperor Ancestor willing to interfere in the lower realms...

This must involve many things!

Moreover, Cheng Ran had ample reason to be suspicious.

That thing is most likely the magic orb that Ye Chen was supposed to be able to pick up, as mentioned in the intelligence report.

I need to go check out the situation...

Cheng Ran looked at the loli human emperor thoughtfully and made a plan in his heart.

If that thing is dangerous, just leave the Loli Human Emperor there and use the token to run away...

If we can get our hands on that thing, then we should just take it for ourselves...

Yes, a perfect plan!

Clearing his throat, Cheng Ran lowered his voice and said:

"Ancestor, this matter is of utmost importance. As a disciple of the Holy Land, I am naturally willing to assist you in handling this matter!"

"You? Really?"

The loli-like human emperor squinted at Cheng Ran with her bright, watery eyes, clearly not quite believing it.

"Absolutely sincere. If you don't believe me, ask the current Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, who is in charge of the Holy Land. She knows best my loyalty to the Holy Land!"

Cheng Ran patted his chest, then urged, "..."

"Alright, Ancestor, you should be able to sense the location of that evil entity, right?"

The Emperor was completely bewildered, vaguely remembering that the Palace Mistress of the Goddess Palace was the woman who had colluded with this wicked fellow...

But since Cheng Ran has shown a willingness to help me.

She didn't investigate the matter further.

Although Cheng Ran is shameless, at least he's quite capable in combat...

After all, when she returned to the Emperor's body and fell into slumber, she still vaguely remembered the scene of spinning tops in the ancient palace that day...

After a moment's thought, the loli human emperor raised her head and said:

"I can indeed sense that evil entity, but before I take you there, you must promise me one thing."

"What is it?"

Cheng Ran raised an eyebrow.

The Loli Human Emperor gritted her teeth and said:

"You swear... you won't hit me this time!"

"Oh, that's it?"

Cheng Ran thought it was something serious and shook his head dismissively.

He held up three fingers:

"I swear, if you ever displease me today, I will absolutely not lay a hand on you!"

"Hmph, that's more like it."

The loli emperor was somewhat pleased, thinking that this person still had some conscience.

However, what she didn't know was...

Cheng Ran, that shameless scoundrel, has countless ways to bully her...

......

......

Another day has passed.

Led by the loli human emperor, the two soon arrived at a cave.

The cave was dark and gloomy, with only the occasional dripping sound of water falling.

and.

The cave was filled with the corpses of all sorts of monsters, piled up like mountains.

Cheng Ran walked over to a pile of monster corpses, squatted down, and examined them for a while.

He then said thoughtfully:

"These demonic beasts all died from sword wounds, and it seems they were all killed with a single strike..."

The Loli Human Emperor also noticed this and speculated:

"Someone has been here."

"Yes, and she should be a kendo tavern player like me."

Cheng Ran nodded as well.

However, aside from being able to determine that the visitor was a sword cultivator.

As he ran his fingertips over the wounds on these demonic beasts, he felt a strange familiarity with the residual spiritual energy within them.

It even resonated subtly with a certain part of his bone structure...

"Could it be...?"

Cheng Ran frowned.

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt something in his heart.

Looking up, he saw a sword aura rushing straight towards him.

Swah——

The sword energy contained an arrogant chill, like the frost that had never melted in the far north.

It sends chills down your spine!

Cheng Ran's gaze sharpened; he knew this move could not be countered by force.

He then grabbed the loli human emperor by the collar, leaped into the distance, and gracefully dodged the sword energy.

boom--

The sword energy touched the stone wall behind him and shattered it in an instant.

A striking ice mark was left in the path of the sword energy.

"This move is the Frostfall Sword Technique, and the sword intent within it is extremely strong. This person is definitely not simple!"

The loli-like human emperor frowned.

Cheng Ran shook his head.

It would be unreasonable to not recognize the person's identity after seeing this move.

He chuckled softly and sighed:

"It would be strange if the woman who ranks first on the Qingyun List were simple."

Before them, a figure dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe emerged from the darkness, holding a frost sword in his hand, his long black hair fluttering in the breeze.

The newcomer was none other than Senior Sister Mu!

only......

At this moment, Mu Yunxi's expression was icy, and she exuded a chilling aura.

And those exquisite peach blossom eyes were now tinged with a chilling crimson.

Eyes facing each other.

Cheng Ran was slightly puzzled.

Why did Mu Yunxi suddenly go berserk and start hitting herself?

Is it because she remembered that the secret realm is independent of the Nine Provinces, and there is no punishment from the Heavenly Dao here?

That's impossible, Xiao Mu clearly doesn't have that level of intelligence...

Could it be that...

Cheng Ran sensed the slightly disordered spiritual energy emanating from Mu Yunxi and began to speculate.

It was at this moment that...

"Summoning thunder from the heavens!"

Mu Yunxi formed a hand seal, and the Purple Cloud Formation appeared beneath her!

At the same time, thunderous lightning began to swirl around the Frost Sword.

She raised her hand and held up her sword.

The cold light pointed directly at Cheng Ran.

Boom—

In an instant, terrifying purple light gathered on the sword's edge, and rolling thunder surged through the cave!

Within the dim cave, a dazzling light briefly shone forth!

Rocks collapsed, and dust filled the sky.

Much later.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

Mu Yunxi, sword in hand, walked coldly to the spot where Cheng Ran had just been.

However, it is well known.

There was smoke but no harm.

Mu Yunxi's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, only to find that there was no one there anymore.
