Huangfu Zhao's fusion with the Divine Sculpture of Dong Ting was quite successful, and he too entered the Sculpture Garden.

Lu Ran's brain buzzed once more.

"Ugh." He rubbed his head, not to the point of losing combat ability, just a bit irritated.

It's been four or five days since the members of Ran Sect slew the Evil God·Ghost Talisman Doll.

Time waits for no one!

It's time to show the next divine demon the blade.

The last battle gave Lu Ran considerable confidence! Although there were minor hiccups during the fight, overall, everything was still within the plan.

Only one thing needs special attention: the defensive power of the Divine Demon's true form is truly astonishing!

The stone body of the Ghost Talisman Doll was surprisingly tough to such an extent.

From this perspective, how terrifying would the defensive power of the Faceless Jade Venerable be?

A method for cross-level slaughter is indeed necessary...

Lu Ran thought silently, summoning an Ancient Bronze Mirror.

"Hoo!!"

The Landing Mirror tore through space and time, forcefully piecing together.

Lu Ran stepped into it, arriving at Luoxian Mountain in Da Xia, the Human World.

"Lord Immortal Sheep!" Lu Ran appeared inside the Luoxian Pavilion, plopping down on a bench inside, "Disciple has returned."

There was no response in his mind.

Lu Ran looked outside the pavilion, seeing the Divine Sculpture of the Immortal Sheep still standing firm, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He paused for a moment and then continued, "For the past few days, Jiang Ruyi was advancing in the garden, so it was inconvenient for this disciple to move, only regaining clarity today."

[Hmm.]

Lu Ran immediately perked up, sitting upright: "Lord Immortal Sheep, are you satisfied with what your disciple has accomplished?"

[Just okay.]

Lu Ran: ???

Just okay?

I led a team and slew an Evil God unscathed! This is the first time in over forty years since the God Demon came to the world that the Human Clan has wielded a blade against a God Demon.

This is a historic moment that should be recorded in the annals of history!

And it's just okay?

You cold-hearted sheep.

Is it that hard to praise me a bit?

"This disciple will continue to work hard." Lu Ran said with a pout, getting up and heading over to the pavilion's column.

He originally wanted to see Erhai of Cang Mountain, but was completely distracted by something else.

In the far distance, the city quarters were lit with colorful decorations, full of joyous atmosphere!

Is there some joyous occasion?

Lu Ran was curious, he flickered into invisibility, standing in mid-air.

As Yeyu City came into view, Lu Ran realized that what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

The entire Yeyu City had changed its appearance, it was bustling with activity!

This...?

Due to the unique time, people had been living in dire straits, celebrations of this scale, Lu Ran had truly never seen before.

New Year perhaps?

Isn't it the ninth lunar month now?

Besides, the New Year atmosphere in Cainan Province·Yeyu City isn't that intense. Even the Northern celebrations or someone's grand wedding wouldn't have red paper strewn all over the city... no, wait!

Those aren't red papers.

Are they uncleaned firecracker remnants?

Lu Ran was baffled when he heard the sound of firecrackers again.

"Buzz~" The Cloud Sea Sword at Lu Ran's waist trembled slightly.

He understood the signal and returned to the Luoxian Pavilion.

The Cloud Sea Sword Spirit slowly pieced together, the ethereal Qiao Wanjun, as charming as ever, looked at Lu Ran with a trace of appreciation in her eyes.

"Mom." Lu Ran called softly.

"It was a success."

"Heh heh~" Lu Ran grinned, like a child seeking praise, "Aren't I amazing?"

Qiao Wanjun chuckled silently.

She raised her ethereal hand, gently arranging Lu Ran's short hair: "The whole of Da Xia is celebrating for you."

"Oh, I see!" Lu Ran understood.

Listening to the faint sound of firecrackers and watching the streets and alleys bask in red...

Lu Ran's heart was filled with joy~

"Don't get cocky." Qiao Wanjun said with a gentle smile.

"Mmm mmm." Lu Ran nodded repeatedly, suddenly asking, "Has it spread so quickly?"

"After the Ghost Talisman Doll's death, the Evil Demon minions cannot regenerate, and the soldiers stationed at the Demon Cave will eventually clean up the place."

"True, it can't be hidden."

"So, some existences jumped out to claim the credit." Qiao Wanjun put down her hand.

"Who?" Lu Ran was also curious.

He was just thinking, nobody knows that it was the warriors of the Ran Sect who slew the Ghost Talisman Doll, so how did Da Xia announce the news?

Qiao Wanjun briefly explained the situation to Lu Ran in a few words.

"Ha ha!" Lu Ran laughed out of anger.

Jade Talisman? Dry Sea?

Fine, fine! This is how you want to play it?

I fought and bled on the frontlines, yet the people give thanks to you two?

"Don't be troubled." Qiao Wanjun said softly, "One day, the truth will come to light."

Lu Ran forced a smile.

Seeing him still grumpy, Qiao Wanjun couldn't help but laugh: "You didn't do all this for fame or profit, right?"

"At this stage, my actions can't be made public anyway. The main issue is that damned Jade Talisman..." Lu Ran muttered on.

He was genuinely infuriated!

Qiao Wanjun sighed lightly in her heart; the Dry Sea, as a fellow third-class god, was just ignored by her son.

As a god, Dry Sea was merely an enemy in this camp.

For Lu Ran, there was clearly a personal vendetta against the Jade Talisman!

"Jiang Ruyi, how is it going?" Qiao Wanjun shifted the topic.

"She seized the divine position and transformed into the Evil God." Lu Ran was naturally diverted, his urge to share bursting, "Her divine demon shadow is enormous, utterly magnificent!

I don't even dare to hold her... cough cough."

Lu Ran's speech abruptly halted, awkwardly scratching his head.

Qiao Wanjun didn't pay attention, saying, "With the addition of a true god, your future actions will proceed much smoother."

"Yes, indeed."

"Who's the next target?"

"The Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon!" Lu Ran answered almost instantly, "I returned this time to discuss with Lord Immortal Sheep the feasibility of this target.

Last time I asked Lord Immortal Sheep, it told me..."

At this moment, a transmission suddenly came to Lu Ran's mind: [Almost there.]

Lu Ran: "..."

Now with a new addition of an Evil God in Ran Sect, Jiang Ruyi turned out to wield a divine-grade Evil Technique · Enchantment Array, yet they're still unable to hunt the flood dragon?

The deep voice fell again: [Even if you, along with other Pseudo God Stones, get grazed by the Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon, it's death's end.]

Lu Ran fell silent, naturally aware of the terrifying nature of cross-level slaughter.

[Even if Jiang Ruyi, in whom you take pride, is struck by the Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon, it's either death or serious injury.]

The icy voice was like a ladle of cold water, drenching Lu Ran from head to toe.

Lu Ran stayed quiet for a long time, tilting his head to look at the Immortal Sheep Stone Sculpture, his expression resolute: "It's something we have to face sooner or later, better strike while we're yet undiscovered.

We possess spiritual output and absolute speed.

If we can overcome this difficulty, we'll truly be armed, and in the future, can slay any god demon with immense confidence!"

The method of cross-level slaughter is a skill that can establish Ran Sect's footing!

Its threat to the Xian Mo Stone Sculpture implies an even greater threat to all gods.

Even if Ran Sect must prematurely reveal themselves, with this method, they could fight the gods and demons to the death!

[You're very determined.]

Lu Ran nodded heavily: "I'm worried; if we postpone the Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon, and a few more god demons fall before it, what adjustments the god demon camp might make."

The Immortal Sheep laughed coldly: [Heh, if you're not afraid of death, then go.]

"Understood!" Lu Ran pressed his hands together respectfully towards the Divine Sculpture, "I'll prepare shortly and head to the Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon's Demon Cave in a few days."

The words fell, without response for a long time.

Lu Ran patiently waited for a moment, confirming Lord Immortal Sheep had no further instructions, before turning his head towards the woman standing by with folded hands.

Ever since the fall of the Ghost Talisman Doll a few days ago, the Jade Talisman's minions could no longer appear on the battlefield.

Because godly minions need worldly foundations to be carried on the bodies of evil demon minions or human believers!

Refocusing on the Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon clan:

This clan not only possesses heaven-defying skills but is also the "vehicle" of Lie Tian's minions!

Once the Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon falls, Lie Tian's minions can no longer appear on the heavenly realm battlefield. This would be a devastating blow to the god demon camp!

The heavier the loss, the closer Mother is to being released!

Life and death are at stake, gods and demons surely need allies.

The reason the gods and demons dare to oppress the Human Clan so wantonly, and ruthlessly crush the Cloud Sea Sect...

Is simply because they haven't been pushed to their limits!

Faceless Jade Venerable... your assaults are still lacking.

I'll assist you!

"What are you thinking about?"

"Ah?" Lu Ran came back to his senses.

Qiao Wanjun stood by, arms folded, looking at Lu Ran's eyes: "So vicious."

"I'm sorry." Lu Ran quickly looked away.

Qiao Wanjun smiled knowingly, understanding the child's gaze wasn't directed at her: "Ranran, you have your own combat plans; I don't intend to sway you, but I have a suggestion."

"What is it?" Lu Ran asked curiously.

"In the human world, during the fifteen castle defenses, you often encountered the Ghostly Eyes Ghost, right?"

Lu Ran blinked, recalling an evil demon buried in his memories.

Ninth-class Evil Demon · Ghostly Eyes Ghost!

A group of tall, slender, dried-up figures, named for their jade-green eyes.

Lu Ran fought on Holy Spirit Mountain for several years and never once saw such evil demons; their excessively weak strength made it impossible for the tribe to stand in the Mountain Realm.

Nowadays, Lu Ran has roamed the heavenly realm battlefield for quite some time, and hasn't visited any corresponding Divine Mountains.

He almost forgot about it!

"This tribe's strength is inadequate, and their overall evil technique isn't strong." Qiao Wanjun shifted the topic, "But there's one evil technique that's rather outstanding."

Lu Ran's heart stirred slightly, guessing: "The same name, Evil Technique · Ghostly Eyes?"

Lu Ran still had some memory of this technique.

Back then, during the fifteen nights of city defense, whenever a Ghostly Eyes Ghost descended, the Moon Gazer team would anxiously remind trainees to never look into those jade-green eyes.

Once they were hit, they'd fall into mental bewilderment.

Even willingly offering their hearts and livers, actively donating bloody entrails to the Ghostly Eyes Ghost.

Qiao Wanjun gently nodded: "I've seen the shadow of the Evil God · Ghostly Eyes Ghost, its eyes nearly lured me completely."

Lu Ran was quite taken aback.

Qiao Wanjun continued: "The mental strength of the Human Clan is beyond your imagination; in the third level of the Heavenly Realm, it can even affect gods and demons themselves."

Lu Ran promptly said: "I know, I've experimented with Mr. Huangfu."

Qiao Wanjun didn't find it surprising, raising a hand slowly: "Then you should be more aware of the strength of Ghostly Eyes."

Lu Ran reflexively closed his eyes, quickly reopening them.

Qiao Wanjun extended an illusory finger, gently pointing at Lu Ran's eye pupil: "The Ghostly Eyes Ghost has a pair of terrifying eyes but can't utilize them well.

Those Ghostly Eyes are more suited to appearing here."

Lu Ran pursed his lips, saying in a deep voice: "Yes."

Qiao Wanjun smiled charmingly, and her figure vanished without a trace.
