A group of people at Ikenai Grand Shrine looked utterly bewildered.

The leader knew that they also had no idea what was going on with Nanami now.

Even.

Even the Shinto people present were just looking at each other in confusion.

Although Nanami is the Divine Son of Shintoism, they too have no clue about Nanami's current situation.

"I think I know why Longxia could speed run the normal and hard difficulty of Black Dragon Mountain so quickly," said a person from Shintoism.

"Speak," said the leader bluntly.

"It should be Yamata no Orochi!" the person said, "Nanami reversed the contract with Yamata no Orochi. Although it's equivalent to selling her soul, Yamata no Orochi, to gain resources and come out from the Shikigami space, would help Nanami. Don't forget, Yamata no Orochi is a level 100 BOSS! Running Black Dragon Mountain isn't that simple, is it?"

Honestly, this analysis makes a lot of sense!

But it made the leader furious.

"Baka! Since Nanami has Yamata no Orochi, why didn't she lead us Sakura to speed run Black Dragon Mountain in Japan, which would accumulate an endless supply of Black Dragon Equipment, putting us, Sakura, at the pinnacle of the world, and claiming the title of national war king!" the leader shouted.

This...

Everyone looked at each other again.

This thing, they really hadn't thought about it at the time.

It was because Nanami was a bit dictatorial back then.

After being continuously suppressed by the mysterious Undead Mage, Nanami's pressure reached its peak!

So after acquiring Yamata no Orochi, the first thing Nanami wanted to do was not to run any Black Dragon Mountain but to go to Longxia and kill that Undead Mage!

Unfortunately...

No one knew exactly what happened in between.

Which led to the final result being.

Lu Ran not only didn't die, Nanami didn't return either!

Not only did she not return, but also Nanami joined the opposing team to run Black Dragon Mountain.

With Yamata no Orochi assisting Longxia in claiming the first-ever run of Black Dragon Mountain!

Moreover.

Nanami wasn't even the captain; she was completely a worker in the team!

Using Yamata no Orochi as a tool to help Longxia gain global honor!

This was simply infuriating for everyone present!

What most frustrated them was.

Professional players from other countries have no idea that Nanami has Yamata no Orochi.

Now Longxia has cleared Black Dragon Mountain.

Moreover, speed running the hard difficulty of Black Dragon Mountain in twelve minutes!

This credit won't be attributed to their Sakura Yin Yang Master Nanami but to that Undead Mage Lu Ran, attributed to Longxia!

"The situation is now such that we still don't know what Nanami's current state is, but there's one thing we need to clarify quickly."

One of the leaders said, "We need to find out what Nanami are really up to and whether there are other schemes?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"She probably won't betray us; there's no reason."

"Yeah, Nanami has Yamata no Orochi, world invincible; even that Undead Mage wouldn't stand a chance against her."

"She couldn't have betrayed us; we simply don't know the specifics right now."

"Damn Longxia closed cross-country communication, and now there's no way to contact Nanami."

"The key isn't Nanami's schemes but what will she do for Sakura now!"

"In national war, as long as Nanami is present and Yamata no Orochi is there, we are world number one!"

"But if Nanami doesn't return and doesn't participate in the national war, Sakura's situation will be precarious."

"We really need to quickly clarify Nanami's stance and situation and what she has in mind."

"But how to do it? Organize a large number of professionals to infiltrate Longxia? Smuggling Forbidden Sea, the mortality rate is too high!"

"The national fight is imminent; we cannot afford to lose any more professionals!"

...

Everyone spoke one after another.

Some advocated sending people to contact Nanami to find out the situation.

Some proposed applying to get entry into Longxia to find Nanami.

Others insisted Nanami hasn't betrayed; she just has other schemes, so there's no need to worry.

For a while, people were proposing all sorts of ideas.

Leaders found themselves in difficulty.

In this situation, contacting Nanami via Communication Device would reveal the problem.

But as Yu Qingcang announced the closure of cross-country transport and communication, the current Longxia is like a stubborn stone, completely silent!

There's absolutely no way to obtain any intelligence within Longxia!

Ultimately.

Leaders dared not risk easily.

Only use the safest, but highest failure rate method.

"Apply for entry, Ikenai Grand Shrine, and Shintoism, must have those familiar with Nanami submit the application list for entry; if approved, contact Nanami as soon as possible! I need to know what happened!" said the leader.

"What if Longxia rejects the entry application?" someone asked.

The leader's words stuck in their throat.

Entry application is rejected.

Who knows what to do then!

"Take it step by step, prepare the list immediately, then apply, see what happens," the leader's head was about to explode.

Meanwhile, Nanami.

Already entered Black Dragon Mountain again with Lu Ran and others.

But this time, it was no longer the hard difficulty.

Instead, it was Hell difficulty!

The highest level, hardest difficulty team dungeon Black Dragon Mountain globally!

And, Lu Ran had already started!

With hard difficulty experience, Lu Ran was even more adept.

Although the difficulty between hard difficulty and Hell difficulty differed vastly, immensely!

But in front of Lu Ran, it made little difference.

BOSSES were instantly killed by Sillor!

Regardless of normal difficulty, hard difficulty, or Hell difficulty, all were instant kills.

Was there any difference?

Even though the monsters were more formidable, Lu Ran's infinite stacking of Skeleton Storm and widespread Undead Army slightly slowed down the overall speed.

But they were all killed before the final BOSS Black Dragon BOSS appeared.

Then.

Sillor instantly killed the Black Dragon BOSS.

In terms of speed, even faster!

Difficulty, no difference!

So.

After Lu Ran finished Hell difficulty.

The record was refreshed once more.

Of course.

As it was the global first run of Hell difficulty of Black Dragon Mountain.

No matter how much time it took, it would still refresh the record.

However.

This Hell difficulty time also refreshed the hard difficulty world record.

This time: Eleven minutes and thirteen seconds!

"It's a pity, couldn't break into ten minutes, still a bit slow," Lu Ran regretfully said.

Black Dragon Mountain is just too big.

Even flying and factoring in triggering BOSS and travel time, compressing the time within ten minutes is hard.

This time is already extremely tight.

"If there are new capabilities, new skills like Skeleton Tyrant, maybe the time could be compressed again," Liu Xinxin said thoughtfully.

Then she looked at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran, Mind Divine Soul, glanced at his experience bar, just a hair away from leveling up.

He pondered, "Anyway, the Black Dragon Heart hasn't dropped yet, need to continue running, moreover, after one more run, I can level up to 55, then new items and new skills can be unlocked."

Saying this.

Liu Xinxin and others immediately brightened!

Meaning, next run Lu Ran will level up to 55, unlocking new skills and new items!
