"This Night of the Ghosts lasted just over an hour."

"After half past midnight, the figures of the Barbaric Clan became fewer and fewer."

"Not only that, but the number of other Evil Demons invading the world also sharply declined."

"By about three in the morning, the Battle of the Fifteenth had nearly come to an end."

"The old small city gradually quieted down, with only occasional noises that quickly returned to silence."

"Lu Ran hadn't gone home."

"Since the battle in the Rain Alley Home Community, he had forcefully kept himself on the team with an incredibly strong stance."

"This terrifying rise in strength also told the Human Clan believers:"

"Do not use your conventional views to judge the geniuses of this world."

"People also realized just how terrifying a fearless and formidable Immortal Sheep Believer could be!"

"Just take the Divine Technique·Immortal Hoof, it was a divine skill that all believers dreamt of!"

"When it wasn't used for a hasty escape but for fierce killing..."

"Immortal Sheep Believers were simply terrifyingly sharp!"

"Even swifter by three parts than the Believer of North Wind, a Second-class God!"

"Not to mention the special uses of Immortal Hoof and the special uses of Voice of Compassion."

"In this gloomy rainy night, Lu Ran the Immortal Sheep Believer was like the yellow raincoat he wore."

"Exceptionally bright in color."

"Distinct and dazzling!"

"Over the past four decades, Da Xia had produced many talents."

"But spread out over various regions, their numbers were pitifully scarce."

"Today, this dilapidated Rain Alley small city seemed to have finally embraced its own rising star."

"As for the end,"

"It will either hang high in the night sky or collapse midway..."

"Let fate decide."

"Ding, ding, ding."

"The blade of the saber continually contacted the iron railings of the overpass, making clear, ringing sounds."

"Once again, Lu Ran came with his team near Hexi Park, stepping onto the familiar overpass."

"The narrow and old overpass was not friendly to Deng Yuxiang."

"Or perhaps she was too stubborn, always insisting on walking right in the middle of the road."

"Every time she passed here, her bloodstained, thin, and long Night-slaying Great Saber would bump against the railings."

""

"The sky gradually lit up, but the city remained dark."

"The residential buildings on both sides of the overpass still glowed with warm lights."

"In the distant rain, the towering buildings were also faintly visible."

"Lu Ran had forgotten how many times he had crossed this overpass tonight."

"But each time, his state of mind seemed a little different."

"Ding, ding, ding."

"Listening to the rhythmic clinking sounds, Lu Ran looked ahead at the tall silhouette of Deng Yuxiang."

"A moment later, he lowered his head and gazed at the Dawn Blade in his hand."

"Even after killing all night, beneath the blade countless Dead Souls fell, and finally, the sky began to brighten..."

"But in this ever rainy city, where could one see the rosy clouds?"

"This night, Lu Ran had given too much care to the Silent Night Blade, yet the Dawn Blade couldn't wait for its moment."

"Uh... it felt somewhat uncomfortable."

"Lu Ran, like the Silent Night Blade, was enormously fruitful."

"He captured a large number of Evil Demon Dead Souls."

"Almost overfed!"

"The Barbaric Woman's Evil Sculpture was in a state ready to be activated, and Lu Ran could initiate it at any time."

"As long as Lord Immortal Goat doesn't steal it, once the Barbaric Clan's Evil Sculpture is activated, it might even approach the River Realm..."

"The so-called 'Night of Ghosts' could be replaced by four other words—voluminous and fulfilling."

"Unfortunately, during the Night Charm Clan's Night of Ghosts, Lu Ran spent most of the time inside the shelter, suffering huge losses."

"On the fifteenth night last month, Lord Immortal Goat rarely reprimanded Lu Ran, pushing him to go out and fight instead of staying home to cultivate."

"It was only right for the goat to lose its temper."

"Lu Ran's harvest this night was indeed ludicrously plentiful!"

"Apart from Evil Demon Dead Souls, Lu Ran also drew in the souls of believers from different divine sects."

"The night of the fifteenth,"

"was a day of suffering for the Human Clan."

"But it was also a festive night for the Evil Demon Clan and Lu Ran."

"The Night of Ghosts,"

"was a great catastrophe for the world."

"But it was also a gluttonous feast for the Barbaric Woman and Lu Ran."

"Don't mistake it, on the battlefield, Lu Ran had given his all."

"Just like when he rescued the Red Scarf Believer·Chen Jing previously."

"If Lu Ran wanted the soul of that Red Scarf Believer, he had a thousand reasons to stand still."

"Lu Ran wasn't a Moon Gazer, merely a little underling of Stream Realm Fourth Rank."

"What did he have to save a mighty River Realm Red Scarf Believer with?"

"Still, Lu Ran went."

"He charged forward without hesitation, with Immortal Hoof and Sound of Despair."

"He still remembered the words he had said to Chen Jing before leaving home this morning:"

"'No matter how far, I will come to rescue you.'"

"Not just to Chen Jing, within his own abilities, Lu Ran had tried his best to help every comrade."

"Gathering souls was one thing."

"Helping one's own clan and fighting the enemy together was another."

"Lord Immortal Goat had also said, it wouldn't force Lu Ran to slaughter his kin."

"This aligned with Lu Ran's values and his inner commitment."

"It's over."

"Deng Yuxiang's voice was very soft, so soft that only Lu Ran could hear it."

"The sounds of the blade contacting the iron railing stopped, and Deng Yuxiang stood in the middle of the overpass."

"What's wrong?" Lu Ran's pace didn't stop as he reached Deng Yuxiang's side.

"It's over, it's been a long time since I heard any noise."

"Deng Yuxiang slightly raised her head, her gaze piercing through the layers of rain, looking towards the distant towering buildings."

"Uh-huh," Lu Ran pondered for a moment, "Indeed, only the sound of wind and rain now."

"Suddenly, Deng Yuxiang raised her right hand, clasped it around Lu Ran's shoulder: 'Tonight, you did very well.'"

"Uh..." Lu Ran pondered, unsure how to respond."

"Beyond my expectations," Deng Yuxiang sighed deeply."

"The young man beside her, like the Night of Ghosts, was unreal."

"Only one was a dream, the other a nightmare."

"Deng Yuxiang had a profound understanding of Lu Ran's extreme terror of talent."

"But tonight, Lu Ran had concretely demonstrated the word 'talent.'"

"That terrifying ability to learn, battlefield comprehension, and execution was visible to the naked eye."

"With just three Barbaric Women, Lu Ran completed the process from observation, to analysis, to taking the first kill in combat."

"Since that solo kill, Lu Ran had been unstoppable."

"He used the well-known Divine Technique·Immortal Hoof, emitting faint sounds of despair, yet what he did was unfamiliarly brutal."

"Extraordinary effects, brilliant achievements."

"If this world had a few more brave Immortal Sheep Believers like you, that would be great," Deng Yuxiang whispered softly."

"Lu Ran: 'Just me.'"

"Uh?" Deng Yuxiang turned her head, looking at Lu Ran."

"Lu Ran confirmed, 'I also want the Human Clan to rise and counterattack strongly."

"But, there will never be another Immortal Sheep Believer like me in this world.'"

"Normally, Lu Ran shouldn't have contradicted her like this, he could have just said something casually and got it over with."

"He said this to make a statement."

"Not to Deng Yuxiang, but to his own Divine·Immortal Goat!"

"Lu Ran wasn't sure if the divine being was watching him."

"Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't."

"Regardless, Lu Ran wanted to make it clear to Immortal Goat that it was absolutely right to choose him."

"Lu Ran would not disappoint the gifts and expectations of Immortal Goat."

"The God Demon Sculpture Garden could just reside in his mind."

"Lord Immortal Goat didn't need to investigate or consider anyone else."

"Ha-ha." Deng Yuxiang let out a laugh in disbelief."

"Of course, she didn't understand why Lu Ran had such a reaction, her palm moved up and pressed against the back of his head."

"Lu Ran thought she was going to kiss her own raincoat hood again."

"But to his surprise, Deng Yuxiang bumped his head lightly with her forehead."

"Thunk~"

"Lu Ran: '...'"

"What was that move?"

"Did you really think I was a goat?"

"If you had said so earlier, I would have used Divine Technique·Immortal Horn to bump you..."

"Alright, just one of you," Deng Yuxiang gazed deeply into Lu Ran's cold horizontal pupils."

"Then, she rubbed Lu Ran's head and strode away."

"Lu Ran stood there, watching the Big Nightmare's retreating silhouette, faintly hearing her murmuring:"

"One is enough, right?"

"Lu Ran nodded his head in agreement."

"Indeed,"

"One is sufficient."

"..."

"The sky grew brighter."

"The deeply afflicted Rain Alley small city, like a wounded beast, quietly licked its own wounds."

"Hours later, when the patrol squad passed the Rain Alley Home Community for the seventh time."

"Lu Ran stopped at a messy gate: 'Can I go home now?'"

"Sun Zhengfang joked with a smile: 'At midnight, I tried to send you home, but you stubbornly stayed, didn't you?'"

"Lu Ran shrugged his shoulders: 'I just wanted to spend more time with Uncle Sun!"

"Last month on the fifteenth, I really missed you.'"

"Sun Zhengfang: ?"

"This kid, why is he speaking with a hidden meaning?"

"Hmm... alright, it was indeed me who acted first."

"Deng Yuxiang stepped forward: 'Let's go, we'll walk you to your doorstep.'"

"'Is that necessary?' Lu Ran walked along, saying, 'I'm so strong... um.'"

"Lu Ran covered the back of his head with one hand, looking at the woman."

"Deng Yuxiang lowered her hand, 'So strong, yet you didn't dodge it?'"

"Lu Ran snorted: 'Maybe I trusted you too much.'"

"Suddenly, Deng Yuxiang laughed, lifting her leg."

"Lu Ran instantly dodged, avoiding that long leg."

"Deng Yuxiang raised an eyebrow, 'How did you dodge it this time?'"

"Lu Ran passed a broken, collapsed plane tree, walking through the messy community, casually saying,"

"'Maybe I know you too well.'"

"Deng Yuxiang: ?"

"'Hahaha!' Sun Zhengfang burst into laughter."

"Boy, nice firepower, huh?"

"The few of them joked amidst their hardships,"

"With a sliver of luck for having survived, they escorted Lu Ran home."

"After repeated admonishments from his teammates, Lu Ran closed the front door."

"He didn't head to the bathroom, but went straight to the bedroom, standing before the small sanctuary:"

"'Lord Immortal Goat, this night, your disciple has reaped much.'"

"In the sanctuary, the head of the Immortal Sheep Jade Carving gradually darkened, wisps of white mist emerging, enveloping Lu Ran's body."

"In a deep, hoarse voice, laced with faint praise:"

"'Good.'"

"Lu Ran paused, then said, 'Now, your disciple can skillfully use a variety of Evil Techniques.'"

"I want to ask, when can I summon Evil Demons?"

"Or at what state must I cultivate the Evil Sculpture before I can control Evil Demons?"

"The transmitted voice lowered, in a sinister tone, 'Do you want the Barbaric Woman to fight the world for you?'"

"Lu Ran responded honestly, 'Before I reach the River Realm, it's difficult for me to leave the supervision of the teaching officers in the Demon Cave.'"

"It's hard to bring along an Evil Demon sidekick."

"Then he changed the subject, 'But, having the Barbaric Woman clean the house, adding some cat food for the little raccoon cat, that would be good too.'"

"The Barbaric Woman, indeed being all brawn with a large frame."

"It's a pity not to use it."

"In Lu Ran's view, pulling all the curtains closed and having the Barbaric Woman sweep and mop the floor, wipe the lampshades, and such should be quite efficient, right?"

"Immortal Sheep Jade Carving: '...'"

"Lu Ran: 'Lord Immortal Goat?'"

"Immortal Sheep Jade Carving: 'In the deep parts of the Demon Cave, you indeed can act recklessly."

"But your future main battlefield is definitely not within the Demon Cave.'"

"Lu Ran thoughtfully, 'Is it the higher-level God Demon Battlefield rumored about?'"

"Immortal Sheep Jade Carving did not respond."

"Only its smile grew more ominous."
