Wang Yujiao saw this scene and her heart trembled fiercely.

Although Lu Ran did not react to her, it was this indifference that made it seem as if he were a stranger she had never known.

She gritted her teeth.

Looking at Qin Wuyao, she said, "He came to save you, but he will also die!"

Hearing Wang Yujiao belittle Lu Ran like this, Qin Wuyao, despite being in a dangerous situation heraelf, felt an inexplicable sense of defiance in her heart.

She instinctively retorted, "Lu Ran is no longer the Lu Ran of the past!"

Wang Yujiao chuckled softly.

Just a professional, and a novice at that.

Even if he leveled up a bit faster, what use is that?

He's still a low-level professional!

Moreover, he's just a regular undead mage. Even a max-level undead mage would only meet death alone against everyone at the Four Directions Stronghold!

It's just ignorance.

But it's understandable; before seeing Lu Ran's abilities, no one would think any profession could single-handedly challenge an entire guild!

Even a hidden profession wouldn't be able to!

Even if Yu Qingcang from the Celestial Path Alliance came himself, facing the concentrated fire from all the members of the Four Directions Stronghold, his end would only be death, with no other possible outcome!

"Then just watch how Lu Ran dies right before your eyes!" Wang Yujiao said through gritted teeth.

Her mentality had long since become twisted.

Cao Yuan, however, overheard the conversation between Wang Yujiao and Qin Wuyao.

But he himself was not concerned with this gossip.

Rather, he looked down from the top of the city wall, adopting a condescending position, watching Qin Lie below the wall.

As for Lu Ran next to Qin Lie, Cao Yuan directly ignored him.

"I didn't expect this, Qin Lie; you really are quite the man, daring to come here yourself." Cao Yuan asked coldly with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

Since Qin Lie had come, his chance for revenge had arrived!

But he wasn't in a hurry to immediately kill Qin Lie, as that would be too boring.

Lu Ran glanced at Cao Yuan.

Instead, he felt even more at ease.

There's a reason why villains die from excessive talking; as long as this Cao Yuan isn't someone who kills decisively, Qin Wuyao is temporarily safe.

"The grudges between us, I'm here now, you can release my daughter." Qin Lie shouted, looking up.

"Seeing you in such a hurry is indeed delightful, haha..." Cao Yuan laughed heartily.

But he wasn't in a hurry to release anyone.

With Qin Lie here, he had no intention of killing Qin Wuyao.

But with Qin Wuyao in his hands, watching Qin Lie's anxious and worried demeanor, Cao Yuan felt an immense satisfaction.

Therefore.

It was naturally impossible for him to easily release Qin Wuyao.

Qin Lie looked guiltily at Qin Wuyao, his teeth almost grinding to pieces.

But he had no way out.

Cao Yuan, feeling pleased, suddenly shifted his gaze to Lu Ran.

With a mocking tone, he said, "Little brother, do you know that Qin Lie came here on a suicide mission? He even brought you along; haven't you been swayed by his Celestial Path Alliance status? Did he not tell you that if you follow him here, you'll also face death?"

Yet to Cao Yuan's surprise.

There was no displeasure on Lu Ran's face.

Instead, he calmly spoke, "The grudges between you all have nothing to do with me. I'm here for Qin Wuyao; she's a very important friend of mine."

As he spoke.

Lu Ran took out his magic staff.

Of course, he wasn't in a hurry to make a move.

He merely prodded forward with the staff.

Swish~

The guild base protection shield, barely touched, immediately emerged.

It seemed like a giant, semi-transparent light sphere, enveloping the entire guild base of the Four Directions Stronghold.

Seeing this, Cao Yuan was even more excited.

Laughing loudly, he said, "Although my Four Directions Stronghold isn't a top guild, since I dare to establish a base in the wild, upgrading the base protection shield is naturally a priority. Currently, this protection shield is at level four, with a defense value of fifty million! What? You think you can break through my protection shield? Then you're welcome to try; it'll be a good show for us to watch, haha..."

As soon as he said this.

The professionals of the Four Directions Stronghold behind him also laughed heartily.

Hearing this, Lu Ran's eyes instead brightened.

Isn't this just simple?

Only fifty million defense value?

This shield thing is similar to life points; damage calculation is about the same.

Moreover.

The defense shield itself has zero double defense; it's just the massive defense value that's intimidating.

And when under attack, it can restore based on the defense shield's level restoration speed.

It's the most crucial thing for defending a guild base.

But for Lu Ran, it's irrelevant!

Lu Ran's blood spear has been charging for three days!

What concept is three days?

At least a few billion damage!

After all, even before Lu Ran obtained the Elf Wings and Sea-stabilizing Trident, the blood spear charged for ten hours could deal thirty million damage!

With one move, he could break this Four Directions Stronghold's base protection shield!

"Since that's the case, it's actually much easier; there's no need to waste time waiting for them to arrive." Lu Ran muttered.

Ye Hongyi, Lei Tai, Liu Xinxin.

These three said they would come.

With the status and reputation of these three, the matter could be resolved.

But it seems, they don't even need to be here to save Qin Wuyao?

The difference is... speed is of the essence!

Next to him, Qin Lie heard Lu Ran's mutterings, and asked in a low voice, "Lu Ran, do you have a plan?"

Lu Ran said directly, "Break the shield, save the person."

It's that simple.

But Qin Lie was taken aback.

He hurriedly said, "Don't be impulsive! This shield has fifty million defense value; it can't be broken. If we make a move, we'll only be laughed at by these Four Directions Stronghold people. Cao Yuan wants me; as long as I can exchange myself for Yaoyao, you should quickly take her away!"

Qin Lie even somewhat regretted seeking help from Lu Ran.

The truth is, he sought Lu Ran's assistance to leverage Lu Ran's influence and the relationships with a few chairmen behind him.

The private affair of the Qin Family was not easy to bring to the Celestial Path Alliance's attention, but Lu Ran's influence was certainly enough!

This was Qin Lie's last resort after exhausting all options; otherwise, with his personality, he might not even care if he himself were killed.

But his daughter Qin Wuyao must not die!

"I came here to save Qin Wuyao. The feuds between you all have nothing to do with me. I don't even know the nature of your disputes, but you have shown me kindness, and I can't watch you die. Rest assured, I know what I'm doing." Lu Ran said solemnly.

Cao Yuan on the city wall saw the two below whispering.

His brows furrowed as he prepared to speak.

But suddenly, he saw that the undead mage raised his magic staff, the top of the staff beginning to glow.

This was the precursor to casting skills!

Cao Yuan almost burst out laughing.

This kid really intends to challenge the base protection shield head-on?

But...

Why does the staff in this kid's hand look somewhat familiar?

Just as he pondered.

Swish~

A blood spear tore through space from above Lu Ran's head, shooting forward.

It shot violently forward, aimed at the shield blocking the way.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the blood spear that had charged for three days directly pierced into the base protection shield in front of them.

Cao Yuan chuckled softly.

"An undead mage's blood spear? Pffft, haha… this kid sure knows how to put on a show, haha..."

As he spoke.

Cao Yuan amusedly looked at the shield's defense value.

Meanwhile, Lu Ran's mind had already connected with the space within the Universe in the Sleeve.

The Dark Elf Queen Sillor, who was meditating with her eyes closed in a corner of the space, suddenly opened her eyes wide!
