"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your assistance!"

Lu Ran put away his embarrassed smile, clasped his hands in salute, and sincerely thanked him.

Yu Changsheng did not accept this sentiment, smilingly said, "Consider it a reward for your loyalty."

Lu Ran: "..."

Can't go three sentences without mentioning loyalty?

Poor guy, just how badly have you been betrayed?

Moreover, if there's a reward, it should be the Big Nightmare rewarding me, what's it got to do with you, an outsider?

Yu Changsheng lightly shook his paper fan, gazing toward the north, "Looking out, this Holy Spirit Mountain is full of ugly faces, and those who are ungrateful are everywhere.

I haven't seen someone like you, who disregards life and death and loyally protects his master, in a long time."

Lu Ran: ???

Loyally protect what?

Do you really think I am some loyal dog?

Deng Yuxiang's expression did not look good.

She wasn't aware of what had happened outside the mountain, but from Mr. Yu's words, Lu Ran must have gone through a lot.

Moreover, the one who made Lu Ran flee so desperately must be extremely powerful!

Deng Yuxiang placed a hand on Lu Ran's shoulder, gripping slightly: "Who was it that attacked just now?"

Lu Ran casually said, "Just a few disciples from the Sword One Sect, no need to worry."

Yu Changsheng looked Lu Ran up and down, his smile growing wider.

What an interesting fellow.

Having gone through so much, yet he speaks so lightly about it.

Is he afraid of worrying this beautiful lady too much?

Considering the dangerous circumstances just now, it's not too much for this lady to be worried!

"Sword One disciples." Deng Yuxiang murmured.

Lu Ran promptly said, "Let's set that aside for now and thank Mr. Yu for his help first."

The reason he was speaking lightly was indeed to prevent Deng Yuxiang from worrying excessively, but the main reason was that Lu Ran was very confident!

Lu Ran could take Deng Yuxiang and leave at any moment.

However, he wanted to hold on for a bit longer, to win more time for Deng Yuxiang.

Since she started her advancement mode, three days have already passed, and she could breakthrough successfully at any time!

Heaven rewards the diligent!

Lu Ran had accomplished it! So, even though the outcome was a desperate escape, he was still somewhat satisfied.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for saving us, this kindness will be remembered!" Deng Yuxiang clasped her hands in salute toward the young man in the lake.

Yu Changsheng casually waved his folding fan, and when facing Deng Yuxiang, his words were different:

"It's quite a pity for two people who are still alive to die just like that."

Deng Yuxiang didn't think he was talking nonsense, but felt that there was a hidden meaning in his words.

Two people who are "still alive"?

Yu Changsheng turned his gaze to Lu Ran, clearly more interested in the "dog."

He could see that although the woman's strength and realm were higher and more assertive, the young man, the Evil Dog, was the one actually in charge in this duo.

Yu Changsheng spoke, "Little friend Lu, aren't you going to explain things to me?"

"Oh~" Lu Ran chuckled, "These days, who doesn't have a little secret?"

Yu Changsheng said with a faint smile, "Little friend's secret doesn't seem so little!"

Lu Ran fell silent.

What to do?

Kill to keep the secret?

What a joke, would Lu Ran really repay kindness with vengeance?

However, Lu Ran was clearly an Immortal Sheep Believer, and had even baa-ed at Yu Changsheng, yet now he had exposed the Evil Dog Evil Skill.

How should he explain this?

It didn't matter if Lu Ran's enemies knew he was an Evil Dog Believer.

After all, in each battle, he had always presented himself as an Evil Dog disciple.

Lu Ran had also exposed the Tangled Silk Shadow Evil Technique·Silk Pupil at times, but anyone who fell for it was inevitably slaughtered by Lu Ran!

Their very souls were absorbed into him, cleanly and safely.

But the man before his eyes...

Yu Changsheng lightly shook his paper fan, smiling and waiting, not in a rush.

Suddenly, Lu Ran spoke up: "Mr. Yu, let's talk about it when we get back.

The Sword One disciples have unleashed their big move on the battlefield, and they will eventually run out of power, I plan to go back and take a look."

Deng Yuxiang's heart trembled!

In the Divine Techniques of Sword One, there are only two moves that can be called "big moves."

The one that can exhaust the caster is undoubtedly the Sea Realm level Divine Technique·Frost Sky Sword Fall!

In other words, Lu Ran had just been fighting a Great Power of the Sea Realm?

She immediately turned her eyes towards Lu Ran.

Lu Ran seemed to have anticipated this, reaching out to hold her wrist, gently gripping it.

It was to comfort her, but also to stop Deng Yuxiang from speaking.

Yu Changsheng said, "Dongfang Ning is not a fool. Though she may appear furious, she actually has a retreat.

Since she can't find you, she has probably already returned to Jian Mountain Peak by now."

Lu Ran insisted, "Let's go take a look, and we'll visit you later, Mr. Yu, if that's alright?"

A vendetta of life and death has been established, and there's no reason for anyone to show mercy.

Yu Changsheng gave Lu Ran a meaningful look, and after a moment, he smiled and said, "Little friend, go as you please."

Lu Ran also smiled, "Mr. Yu, aren't you afraid we won't come back?"

"Jian Mountain Peak is full of experts, and there are many Sword One disciples." Yu Changsheng slowly submerged into the lake, "Just make sure you can come back."

Lu Ran: "..."

The language of Da Xia is truly profound~

"Sssss——" He dashed into the forest.

"Sssss——" Deng Yuxiang spurted out Immortal Fog at her feet, instantly following.

Until the two of them vanished into the deep forest, only then did Lu Ran activate a ground mirror.

He wasn't sure if this was overkill at this point.

Lu Ran's head was a bit muddled, he needed some time to clear his thoughts and make decisions.

They walked into the mirror one after the other, entering a vast white Snow Forest.

Deng Yuxiang's expression was grave, gazing into the distance.

The snow-capped mountain that stood before had now completely collapsed.

It was hard to imagine what kind of earth-shattering power could have blasted a high mountain to pieces!

"Sigh." Lu Ran sighed, "Just as expected of Holy Spirit Mountain! Even if there was no past grievance, just advancing in this realm is considered a huge crime."

"Little Lu Ran." The sudden change in address caught Lu Ran off guard.

"What?" Lu Ran asked in confusion.

Deng Yuxiang didn't know what to say, just looked at him with a complicated gaze.

The wound carved on his cheek by a blade had already scabbed over.

She knew that this small wound was just the tip of the iceberg.

Deng Yuxiang was terrifyingly silent, clearly a radiant woman, yet like a beast on the brink of rage.

Guilt, heartache, anger...

Her expression kept changing, making Lu Ran's heart tremble with worry, hastily persuading, "The matter at hand is more urgent."

"Mm." Deng Yuxiang obediently stepped forward two steps.

Through the not so thick wind and snow, she saw the distant destroyed forest.

Deng Yuxiang said in a deep voice, "The opponent must have returned with the Frost Sky Sword Fall active, we should follow the destroyed path to find the enemy."

"Let's go have a look." Lu Ran nodded immediately.

The two pursued, climbing mountains and crossing ridges.

After a long time, following the destroyed path, they indeed found the lair of the Sword One disciples, Jian Mountain Peak.

This mountain was exceptionally towering and lofty!

Clouds only hovered at mid-mountain level, while the peak pierced through the heavens, reaching into the sky.

Among the towering mountains, Jian Mountain Peak undoubtedly stood out!

It quite fits the Sword One Sect's reputation, doesn't it?

When Lu Ran and the two were in the Snow Forest, looking at the distant Jian Mountain Peak, the rumbling sound still continued.

The Divine Power and stamina reserves of a Great Power from the Sea Realm are truly astounding!

Dongfang Ning's ultimate move still hadn't ended.

The spectacular Frost Sky Sword Fall descended from the heavens, targeting a specific area as guided by its master.

The earth and sky rumbled!

[There's no opportunity.] Lu Ran transmitted.

Once Dongfang Ning exhausts her strength, the Sword One disciples within Jian Mountain Peak will surely come forward.

[Mm.] Deng Yuxiang, expressionless, responded softly.

[We'll just treat this as opening the map.] Although Lu Ran responded thus, he couldn't swallow this grievance quietly.

He had a strong impulse to sneak into Jian Mountain Peak at night to take good care of that Sea Realm Great Power!

No matter how enduring you are, I don't believe you can keep going until the second half of the night!

By that time, surely you'd be weak and defenseless, ready for slaughter?

But reason quelled Lu Ran's impulsive thoughts.

Trying to infiltrate the lair of the Sword One Sect is a task akin to ascending to the heavens!

At least Lu Ran knew that the Sword One disciples had slaves, and those Ice Butterfly disciples possessed perception techniques, which was tricky!

And that's only what Lu Ran knew.

What if Jian Mountain Peak had other sect believers as slaves and maids?

The Divine Techniques of the various sects were bewildering, making it easy for Lu Ran to fall into a trap!

[This place is not suitable for a prolonged stay.] Lu Ran immediately cast a spell, summoning the ground mirror.

Power, power...

Stepping back into the ground mirror, Lu Ran took one last deep look at the cloud-piercing Jian Mountain Peak.

This vendetta, I will remember it in my little book first.

Just you wait...

[Nightmare, I'm thinking of recruiting Yu Changsheng, what do you think?]

[He is very powerful, capable of significantly enhancing our combat effectiveness.] Deng Yuxiang pondered for a moment, then added, [However, can you trust his character? Moreover, can he accept your identity?]

[I'll probe a bit, by the way, let's search the battlefield first. I killed two Sword One disciples earlier, I'm not sure if their corpses are still there.]

[Mm.]

...

At noon, in the high mountain lake area, two figures emerged from the forest.

Lu Ran gazed at the tranquil lake surface and called, "Mr. Yu?"

The water rippled gently.

Slowly, Yu Changsheng surfaced: "You're back?"

Lu Ran nodded, "You were right, that woman is cautious with her life, she's slipped back to her lair."

Yu Changsheng wasn't surprised by this result.

He looked at Lu Ran with an amused gaze, "Since you're back, you should have prepared your words, thought about how to trick me."

Lu Ran: "..."

"Hahahaha!" Yu Changsheng, seeing Lu Ran's unnatural expression, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lu Ran awkwardly cupped his hands, "Mr. Yu, you are indeed a clever man."

Yu Changsheng laughed, "You, an Evil Demon disciple, stop trying to flatter me."

Lu Ran pretended not to hear, stepped toward the cold lake, "Is the pool cold today?"

Yu Changsheng: ???

Pool?

In your eyes, am I soaking in this as a bath?

Lu Ran waded into the lake, feeling the bone-chilling cold, "Mr. Yu, what do you think of the gods?"

Hearing this, the smile on Yu Changsheng's face gradually faded.

What do I think of the gods?

Kid, you dare to have such a question, your thinking is dangerous!

Hmm... I like it!
