In the morning, a silver figure slowly descended outside Tianya Residence.

He sported a neat short hairstyle with a dignified appearance and upright posture, dressed in a dashing silver suit, holding a silver spear, exuding a heroic presence.

Such a brave figure even made the members of the Shadow Guard Team on watch secretly take notice.

"Evil Shadow Guardian." Wei Yun held his spear and saluted, greeting him.

Beside the tunnel entrance, Yan Shuangzi crossed her arms in front of her body, leaning against the stone wall, watching the courageous man, secretly admiring his luck.

Strength, realm, and overall qualities were indeed a huge bonus.

But the words loyalty and righteousness are the true keys.

From this perspective, the Liuyun Hall Master Wei Yun reaching here is not entirely due to luck.

But rather, because of his coloration.

"Go in, the Sect Master and Lady are waiting for you." Yan Shuangzi slightly tilted her head, indicating the entrance to the Tianya Residence tunnel.

"Dare I ask Evil Shadow Guardian, why has the Sect Master summoned me here..."

Yan Shuangzi remained silent, coldly staring at the man.

Wei Yun paused momentarily and saluted Yan Shuangzi once more, placing the Divine Weapon spear at the entrance before stepping into Tianya Residence.

Walking through the not-so-long tunnel, he arrived at the hall.

In the hall, there were four people.

On the top side, on Taishi chairs beside the Eight Immortals table, sat the young Sect Master and Lady.

On the side chairs below the hall, Wu Xiao sat silently.

In the corner, there was a Xuan Shuang Guard nervously boiling tea.

Wei Yun sympathized with her situation.

Even though the Sect Master had a gentle smile, the hierarchical system of the Divine Demon was extremely strict, and all weak beings in the room had difficulty even breathing.

"Sect Master, Lady, Martial Sect Master!" Wei Yun respectfully saluted, embodying the aura of an ancient general.

Upon mentioning ancient generals, Lu Ran suddenly thought... Wei Yun, what a good name?

Wei from Wei Qing, Yun from Zhao Yun?

Good fellow~

Unbelievable once you think about it, the name is so domineering.

The room became silent, and Wei Yun naturally sensed the Sect Master and Lady's gaze on him, seemingly carrying a sense of scrutiny, escalating his pressure.

Wei Yun had no idea, Lu Ran was not doing it deliberately, but was lost in thought, comparing names.

Until Leng Xushuang served hot tea, Lu Ran returned to his senses.

Looking at the man below the hall, he finally spoke: "Is Hall Master Wei of Sea Realm Second Rank?"

"Yes!" Wei Yun responded, his voice deep.

Lu Ran sighed inwardly.

Wei Yun, as Martial Emperor's only best friend, once had the same realm as Wu Xiao—Sea Realm Peak.

Back then, when Wu Xiao raised his banner, Wei Yun was also one of the only three Sea Realm Peak powers within Pear Garden Sect.

Unfortunately, those who ascended to the Heavenly Realm were highly likely to undergo "Deviation".

Before there was Sword Ridge Peak Master Wang Hanchuan, after there was Wuji Peak Master Tu Feng.

Lu Ran could not let Wei Yun continue to serve the god Martial Artist; if Wei Yun truly ascended, he could also communicate with the Martial Artist during the breakthrough process.

At that time, the actions of Ran Sect would be crucial as Lu Ran's own secret might be exposed upon questioning by the God.

Therefore, all the Sea Realm Hall Masters of Pear Garden Sect turned to Lu Ran, venerating Martial Emperor.

"Do you blame me for once being at Sea Realm Peak?" Lu Ran suddenly asked.

Wei Yun shook his head: "As a disciple of Pear Garden Sect, affiliated with Ran Sect, following the orders of the Martial Sect Master and the will of Master Lu is my duty."

Jiang Ruyi picked up her teacup, glancing lightly at the man below the hall.

The Phoenix Dress of Nine Heavens she wore gave her a satisfactory answer that Wei Yun was not lying.

Wei Yun continued: "At Holy Spirit Mountain, Yun, has long seen through the ugly face of God Demon. Wuji Peak Master was manipulated and led by the God during the ascension to the Heavenly Realm, causing great disaster.

The actions of the Sect Master are paramount for all eternity, allowing no sloppiness."

Listening to one phrase after another, Jiang Ruyi felt very satisfied, and simply drank a sip of tea.

Seeing Jiang Ruyi's demeanor, Lu Ran settled his mind and said: "During this period, your brothers have been accompanying me in the Heavenly Realm battle.

Now he possesses a Heavenly Realm First Level physique, capable of being the foundation for team building."

Wei Yun lowered his head, his tiger eyes suddenly lit up!

Indeed, how could the Sect Master, being so busy, spare time to call him over for a chat?

Sure enough, just listen to Lu Ran continue: "Ran Sect is in need of people. Would you like to join his small team and venture into the Heavenly Realm together?"

"Disciple obeys!" Wei Yun did not hesitate at all.

Lu Ran: "..."

Why do you obediently comply?

That is the Heavenly Realm!

Sure, your martial arts are superb! You are also a First-class God disciple, but that is the Heavenly Realm Battlefield!

Lu Ran was quite speechless and subconsciously looked at Martial Emperor.

Wu Xiao remained expressionless, sitting silently like a soulless shell.

Essentially, Wu Xiao and Yu Changsheng were of the same kind, yet their states of existence were vastly different, truly puzzling why.

Lu Ran shook his head and said: "Your team's members include Nightmare Guardian, Martial Emperor, Luoshen General, Elder Lu Bai, two Heavenly Generals Yan Bai..."

One name after another stirred Wei Yun's spirit!

Looking far and wide, it was all Majestic Heaven Realm!

It seemed only Bai Yanhui was a Sea Realm individual? Joining such a group was indeed a great honor.

Wei Yun was very sure that the Sect Master had selected him personally from among the three thousand Ran Sect disciples.

Three thousand to one!

What an endorsement!

What kind of honor is this?

Lu Ran continued, "From the composition of personnel, Hall Master Wei can also see the intensity of the Heavenly Realm battlefield."

Wei Yun's heart sank, his head lowered even further: "Yes."

"Hall Master Wei's strength and realm are slightly lacking."

Lu Ran suddenly changed his tone and continued, "I plan to give Hall Master Wei a Divine Sculpture, so you can continue your cultivation and advance while transitioning to be a scout. What do you think of this, Hall Master Wei?"

Wei Yun's breath hitched!

Divine... Divine Sculpture?

Like Wu Xiao, becoming a god?

Lu Ran silently drank tea, giving the other person ample time.

Until the strong voice of Wei Yun came confidently from the hall below: "I, Yun, will devote all efforts to honor the Sect Master's kindness."

"Good." Lu Ran looked at Wu Xiao and smiled, "Cut the contract threads, but be gentle with your brother."

Wu Xiao immediately stood up, came next to Wei Yun, and placed a large hand on his head.

The believers of the Human Clan, their status lowly.

If they dare to oppose the gods and take the initiative to tear up the contract, they would suffer severe punishment.

But if the god takes the initiative to tear the contract, the consequences are not so dire. Wu Xiao seemed like a jailer, opening the shackles and cages for Wei Yun, letting him leave safely.

Of course, Wei Yun would still suffer some hurt, but compared to it, the damage is almost negligible.

"Ugh." Wei Yun groaned, his body slightly swayed.

Wu Xiao's big hand moved down to grasp Wei Yun's shoulder.

One raised his head, one lowered his gaze.

Two heroic men with similar styles, their gazes entwined.

Lu Ran watched with great interest!

It's rare for the Martial Emperor to show a bit of emotion; it seems that he still has things he cares about.

Just hidden rather deeply.

Pitiful Liu Huo guard, and that moth-to-flame Red Cicada Hall Master Qin Hongchan...

Your desired Ruyi bridegroom is about to be taken away by Wei Yun~

Lu Ran thought secretly, as the Martial Emperor retreated, he stepped forward and unfolded a huge remnant shadow of a god.

Wei Yun looked up, only to realize what path the Sect Leader had arranged for him.

Seven-class God·Witch Crow!

In Wei Yun's mind, the Witch Crow Divine Technique immediately flashed by.

The god technique·Witch Crow that transforms the body into a crow; the divine technique·Witch Pupil that enables night vision, seeing through fog, frost, snow, and dust.

The output skill·Witch Feather that sprinkles feathers and pierces enemies; the skill·Witch Shadow Concealment that hides form and energy fluctuations.

Additionally, the skill·Witch Cry that releases sound waves to cause real harm to enemies.

And the rather strong Substitute Technique·Witch Shadow Replacement!

As he thought, Lu Ran already carried the Witch Crow remnant shadow and signed the Inheritance Contract with Wei Yun.

Peeking out the embarrassing fact, the Divine Sculpture of Witch Crow in the garden is merely at Sea Realm·First Rank.

The Holy Spirit Energy to nurture this Divine Sculpture was leaked a bit from the fingers of several fake gods at Heavenly Realm·Second Rank in the garden and directly gifted to the Witch Crow.

Hmm... It's okay!

Returning to the Heavenly Realm battlefield, Lu Ran can easily cultivate this Divine Sculpture to the First Level of Heaven Realm.

Moreover, Wei Yun is currently just at Sea Realm Second Rank, the integration is still far off.

"Pop!"

Having signed the contract, Lu Ran imitated the Martial Emperor's action, likewise patting Wei Yun's shoulder:

"I have some matters in the Mountain Realm, will stay for a few days. You should quickly adapt to the new sect's divine technique and prepare well for battle."

"Disciple obeys!" Wei Yun said in a deep voice.

Lu Ran turned back to look at Wu Xiao: "For the next few days, be his sparring partner. Gradually increase the combat intensity and allow Wei Yun to adapt quickly."

"Yes!" Wu Xiao responded immediately.

"Go." Lu Ran smiled and nodded, watching the brothers depart, then casually said, "Elder Lu, sorry for the wait."

An elder in a gray robe passed by Wu Wei, walked into the hall: "Sect Leader."

Lu Ran's expression turned serious: "Elder Lu still cannot perform spells?"

Lu Yuan shook his head, his voice worn and hoarse: "The gods do not permit."

Lu Ran snorted: "In that case, Elder Lu should also 'die'."

Lu Yuan's cloudy eyes, quietly watching Lu Ran.

He certainly did not believe that Lu Ran wanted to take his life, although... Lu Ran feeds on dead souls, and Lu Yuan knew well that his own soul is very delicious.

Contained within, an inexhaustible amount of Holy Spirit Energy...

"Later, Elder Lu will follow me to the Heaven Realm to search for the Divine Mountain, plead to the gods to ask Dust Shadow Flower for mercy, and plead for a way to live."

Lu Ran spoke as he turned towards the Eight Immortals Table: "On the way, Elder Lu will die at the hands of Faceless Jade Venerable."

Lu Yuan was aware and gently nodded.

Lu Ran picked up the teacup from the table, continued: "I have already prepared the Dust Shadow Flower Stone Sculpture of the Heavenly Realm for Elder Lu."

Lu Yuan respectfully bowed: "Thank you, Sect Leader!"

"Gulp, gulp..."

Lu Ran drank the tea in one go, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, his eyes ice cold.

The gods want to let you fend for yourself, not allowing you to cast spells?

No problem.

I permit it.
