Xu Li just thought Lu Ren considered her too young and was teasing her, she was somewhat displeased and said, "Brother Lu, you have to speak properly!"

"I'm really talking to you seriously."

"Humph, I'm ignoring you."

Just as she was about to climb over the wall to leave, Xu Li hesitated for a moment, then turned back and said, "Are you free tomorrow?"

"Depends on what the matter is."

"You must be free!! I'll come to find you tomorrow at noon! Don't break the appointment!"

With excitement, Xu Li climbed over the wall and left.

Lu Ren shook his head slightly, looked up at the moonlit sky.

The time was almost right.

He immediately returned to his room, changed into a black outfit, his facial muscles wriggled, and his face took on a new appearance.

Then he left through the back door, darting all the way to Zhuan Kong Temple.

At this moment, Zhuan Kong Temple was already a ruin, but there were still many soldiers on duty, with Bright Stones and torches illuminating the area brightly.

Life breath was still underneath the big pit.

It seemed after half of his body was blown off, Jie Kong couldn't move at all, he could only stay in place to recover his body.

Lu Ren casually found a high place, as Bright Sun True Qi circulated, he strode forward, using the Shrinking Earth Technique from the Bright Sun True Technique to rush high into the air, then True Qi spread all over his body, allowing him to enter an optical camouflage state, landing lightly on the edge of the big pit.

It seemed Jie Kong's body was recovering extremely secretly, within a thirty-meter radius, there was no sign of anyone, conveniently facilitating Lu Ren's actions.

Looking down, Jie Kong's lower half had already grown to look like an infant, Lu Ren stepped forward, landing lightly beside Jie Kong, and then removed the optical camouflage, folded his arms and quietly looked at Jie Kong.

Jie Kong had already sensed it, he opened his eyes, staring straight at Lu Ren and said, "Outsider, what is your purpose in coming here?"

Lu Ren said lightly, "I'm just seeking a peaceful life, it's just that your Liaoyuan people have repeatedly disrupted what I think is a decent environment, naturally, I would step in to stop you."

Jie Kong stared at Lu Ren intensely, finally bursting into laughter, "The timing is perfect, you're too late!"

"So, you're the one who beat Jie Kong into this state."

Liu Changkui's deep voice rang on the edge of the pit, filled with undeniable marvel.

"How old are you, to have reached such a level?"

Lu Ren turned his head to look at the sturdy man standing at the edge. Seeing that the man was taller than him by a few centimeters, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

This Liu Changkui, clad in armor, standing as solid as a small mountain beside him.

His physique was a few times more imposing than Lu Ren's, making one hesitate in awe.

"City Lord of Juliu City, Governor of Muzhou Prefecture, Liu Changkui."

Lu Ren turned his head, squinting at Liu Changkui.

"I didn't expect a mere governor to be an Embracing the Pill to Form Gang Mortal Transcendence Realm Martial Artist, I now understand why Xu Meng, also a Mortal Transcendence Realm Martial Artist, didn't become the governor of Juliu City, didn't expect there is someone like you."

Lu Ren unabashedly praised.

This Liu Changkui, terrifyingly powerful, his entire Qi and Blood was almost tangible, just standing not far away, made one feel like they were in a fiery world, being roasted from all directions.

"Young man, you have a long road ahead, stop here, and I can let bygones be bygones. If you persist in your folly, your bright future will come to an end right here."

Liu Changkui's expression was indifferent, his eyes flashing with golden light, the Qi Blood Power within him circulated, creating Abnormal Power that caused the surrounding magnetic fields to violently tremble.

Occasionally, lightning would flash around him with explosive might.

Lu Ren was unaffected, glanced at Jie Kong lying on the ground laughing maniacally, he lifted his foot and then stomped down hard towards Jie Kong.

Boom!

Like crushing a watermelon, Jie Kong's head exploded instantly, having walked the path of Qi Refiner cultivation, long condensed into a Yang Spirit Form, once Yin and Yang combined, it was only a step away from the True Immortal Realm, Jie Kong's True Soul suddenly burst out.

With his Heart Eye opened, Lu Ren saw the opponent's True Soul lunging at him, his eyes revealed a hint of peculiarity.

No one had dared to challenge him like this for a long time.

"Ding, you have suffered Jie Kong's Divine Soul attack."

"Ding, your realm dragged Jie Kong into the Inner Realm, discovering strange energy repelling the Inner Realm."

Repelling?

Lu Ren raised an eyebrow.

In that case, Lu Ren's thoughts moved slightly, his vast Spiritual Power, condensed to the extreme, almost tangible, directly suppressed and obliterated Jie Kong in cooperation with the system.

Jie Kong, completely unprepared for such a scene, his face twisted in shock and fury, between Divine Thoughts, finally understood something.

"What place is this, why does the human body produce such a singular point... Shakyamuni, you have wronged me, made me take the wrong path, I curse you, never to attain truth for eternity!!! Ah!!!!"

With Jie Kong's sorrowful and furious roar, Lu Ren's vast Spiritual Power instantaneously crushed him, Jie Kong's Divine Soul shattered in that moment, crushed repeatedly, completely obliterating his spiritual imprint, forming the purest Spiritual Energy, slowly integrating into Lu Ren's Divine Soul Spirit.

Inside the Inner Realm.

Rumble!!

"How rare, how rare, this Inner Realm even has wind and rain."

Xu Fu raised his head, looking at the overcast sky, thunder faintly bursting within the clouds, then fine raindrops drifted down from the sky.

Xu Fu reached out to touch it, his previously languid expression suddenly shocked, his whole body snapping to attention, his face filled with puzzlement.

"Is this, Spiritual Rain?!"

He immediately opened his mouth wide, trying to swallow the Spiritual Rain falling from the sky, while spreading his arms to let his body fully contact it.

Unfortunately, the Spiritual Rain passed through his body, sinking into the ground of the Inner Realm.

Seeing this, Xu Fu's own Divine Soul trembled horribly, almost making him spit blood from frustration.

"Why, why does it not work?!"

Beside him, Chen Xuzi, who laid on the ground without any movement, opened his eyes to glance at Xu Fu, let out a light snort, full of mockery.

"The master hasn't agreed, what are you fussing about?"

Finishing his words, he closed his eyes as if falling back asleep.

Leaving aside what happened within the Inner Realm, in just a split-second's time, under Superdimensional Thought, all that Jie Kong encountered when charging into Lu Ren's mind had happened, until he was eventually obliterated by Lu Ren, all within less than half a second.

When he saw Lu Ren fearlessly stamping Jie Kong to death, Liu Changkui's face darkened, his expression barely suppressed anger.

"How dare you! Do you know who Jie Kong is? In the entire Underworld, there's no place big enough to hide you."

That's what he said, yet Liu Changkui's eyes couldn't conceal the delight brimming within.

Clearly, Lu Ren's killing of Jie Kong pleased him greatly.

Observing Liu Changkui's expression, Lu Ren remained unchanged, even with a hint of teasing.

"It looks like me killing Jie Kong pleases you deeply, Governor Liu."

Seeing Lu Ren showing no signs of being tricked, Liu Changkui couldn't manage a smile.
