Chapter 408

The teleportation technique of the Mirror Demon clan · Mirror Flower Moon, when at the River Artifact level, has a maximum teleportation distance of 100 kilometers.

Lu Ran opened the floor mirror several times, bringing Deng Yuxiang to the edge of the snow forest.

Standing on the high mountain, looking north, it was a vast expanse of white snow.

Looking south, it was a mountain forest that gradually changed from white to green.

"Let's do it around here; we're already far away from the Night Charm clan's sphere of influence," Lu Ran suggested.

"Okay." Deng Yuxiang looked around, remembering this mountain peak.

Before, when the two were heading north, they had also stood on this boundary ridge to look at the south and north.

Returning to this place was not a coincidence.

Lu Ran was returning along the original path; the location he went to when he opened the teleportation evil technique · Mirror Flower Moon was not random either.

Within a range of one hundred kilometers, he could go to places within his line of sight, or places where he had opened the map and recorded spatial coordinates.

Lu Ran looked at the woman: "Should we wait for a snowy day?"

By accident, he saw the beautifully curved line of her vest.

Just a short while ago, she was pierced through the waist and abdomen by a Night Charm blade, so the clothing there was torn.

It also revealed the lines of her waist and abdomen, which were extremely aesthetic.

Lu Ran hurriedly turned his head to look to the side, pretending to observe the environment.

But as soon as he turned his head, he cursed himself secretly—what are you feeling guilty about!

Even if she exposed her waist, what could happen?

What era is this; men and women can naturally show their alluring... *cough cough*, show their health and vitality!

Yes, that's it!

"Hmm, it's best to wait for one." Deng Yuxiang's mind was heavy, and she didn't notice anything unusual.

The matter of upgrading was indeed very tricky!

Once she started upgrading, it would inevitably cause quite a stir.

In this Holy Lingshan full of crises, there was absolutely no lack of people who would take advantage of others' precarious positions!

If she encountered an enemy attack during the upgrade...

Not to mention whether she could survive, just saying that after Deng Yuxiang was interrupted during her upgrade, wanting to reorganize and break through again would probably be as difficult as ascending to heaven!

"Let's go, down the mountain." A black cloud rose under Lu Ran's feet, "We'll go deep into the forest and find a hidden place."

"Okay!"

The two flew down the mountain peak and fell straight into the deep forest.

For this upgrade, the Lu Sect duo specially opened up a hidden cave, with a long tunnel deep into the mountain body.

The two waited patiently for several more days, finally waiting for a night with wind and snow.

Inside a pitch-black and quiet cave, Deng Yuxiang sat on the ground, holding more than ten energy-filled Divine Power Beads in her hands.

The luster emitted by the precious beads illuminated her face, which had a solemn expression.

"Da Da Mengyan." Lu Ran suddenly spoke.

"Yes."

"No matter what happens, you must focus on upgrading." Lu Ran's voice was particularly serious, "This concerns not only your future but also the future of the Lu Sect."

Deng Yuxiang was silent, nodding gently.

She naturally knew the seriousness of the problem; on this mountain road climbing upward, if one slipped and fell, one would likely fall into a bottomless abyss.

Lu Ran picked up the Scarlet Phoenix Patterned Gourd, sighing in his heart: "If the little Scarlet Phoenix could absorb living people, allowing the Great Da Da Mengyan to upgrade inside the gourd, that would be great..."

"Hum~"

The Scarlet Phoenix Patterned Gourd trembled slightly, and the golden phoenix pattern quietly lit up.

Lu Ran didn't hear the artifact spirit's specific words, but he felt the little Scarlet Phoenix's intention.

He smiled, his fingers stroking the golden phoenix pattern: "Okay, work hard. But for now, first we must help her upgrade."

The phoenix pattern lit up again and again, dazzling.

Lu Ran sent it forward with one hand, and the Scarlet Phoenix Patterned Gourd floated slowly, falling into Deng Yuxiang's arms.

"I'll go out to keep watch." Lu Ran turned and left, but at the tunnel entrance, his footsteps paused, "Remember, no matter what happens outside, you are not allowed to be distracted!"

"Yes."

"This is an order." Lu Ran said in a deep voice, emphasizing it again and again.

"Yes!" Deng Yuxiang lowered her head slightly, her hands clenching the ten or so Divine Power Beads.

Lu Ran took a step, walked through the long tunnel, and after several turns, finally arrived at the cave entrance.

The cave entrance was inconspicuous, more like a crack, only wide enough for one person to enter sideways.

In front of the cave was a lush forest, and at the cave entrance, there was a huge pine tree blocking it.

"Woo woo woo~~~"

In the pitch-black night, the cold wind howled, and frost and snow filled the air.

Lu Ran listened to the sound like ghosts crying and wolves howling, feeling a bit more at ease in his heart.

He observed for a moment, then squeezed back into the cave crack sideways; after walking several meters, Lu Ran leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

"Rumble!!"

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering sound that pierced through the sound of the wind and snow roaring.

Lu Ran was startled!

His face looked ugly, his hands rubbed his ears, and he almost stomped his feet and cursed.

To keep watch, he had pulled the Evil Technique · Evil Consciousness to the max, and was particularly focused!

"Damn." Lu Ran cursed, and having no other choice, he lowered the grade of his Evil Consciousness.

It wasn't until a long time later, when he noticed that the divine power between heaven and earth was becoming increasingly rich, that his mood improved a little.

Did the Great Da Da Mengyan break through the bottleneck and enter the upgrade state?

Lu Ran leaned against the tunnel stone wall, eyes closed, imagining a beautiful future.

If this upgrade was successful, she would be a human grand expert of River Estuary Realm · Fourth Stage.

The Holy Lingshan realm had abundant divine power, very suitable for cultivation; Deng Yuxiang only needed one more small stage, and she would be at the peak of the River Estuary Realm!

Once reaching this height, only one realization would be needed.

Would the Sea Realm be far away?

Speaking of which, Deng Yuxiang had experienced a major life change.

Fortunately, this bright camellia, under Lu Ran's careful care, had a fairly stable state of mind.

Her goal was clear and firm, and she hadn't become decadent or lost.

However, compared to her realization when she broke through from Jiang Jing to River Estuary Realm, her path to becoming a god had changed now, right?

She had already bound herself to the Night Charm evil statue, heading toward the status of an evil god!

Lu Ran fell into deep thought.

Deng Yuxiang was undoubtedly someone who had been reorganized after being shattered.

It was just because of Lu Ran's existence that her reorganization process was quite short, almost seamless.

She had just fallen into a bottomless abyss, her body torn apart, when she was put back together by Lu Ran, who took her on this path.

Looking at it this way, this realization of Deng Yuxiang's should be determined in the general direction, right?

It should be something like replacing the Night Charm, becoming an evil god, and sweeping away the disasters of the human world.

"Hmm." The more Lu Ran thought about it, the more reliable it felt.

After she reached River Estuary Realm · Fifth Stage, he could discuss it with her.

Perhaps it could greatly shorten the time for her realization and upgrade!

Tsk tsk~

Personally cultivating a Sea Realm grand expert? Just thinking about it feels...

"Rumble!!"

Lu Ran was startled, his face pale.

I damn...!!!

This group of bastards!

Sooner or later, I'll kill my way up to the sky and chop you all up!

Lu Ran cursed in his heart, but he had no way to deal with the guys in the sky and could only endure it silently.

The night passed quickly.

Lu Ran had no intention of searching for Holy Spirit Qi; at such an important moment, it was better not to cause extra trouble.

The next day, the sea of clouds in the sky churned, and the wind and snow in the mountain forest continued, which made Lu Ran feel quite at ease.

However, for a River Estuary Realm grand expert to upgrade, it would take at least two or three days, and he still had to keep watch with trepidation.

Time came to the morning of the third day; the sky still hadn't cleared, and the wind and snow were still raging!

Lu Ran was overjoyed, and there were only two words in his heart—stable!

"This wave is too stable~"

Lu Ran stood sideways in the narrow tunnel, looking at the vast white scene outside through the crack in the cave entrance a few meters away.

It was simply heaven helping me!

Blow hard!

The stronger the wind, the heavier the snow, the more... hmm?

Lu Ran's heart sank, and he hurriedly closed his eyes to listen.

He faintly heard the sound of wings flapping?

This is...

At the same time, in the vast wind and snow.

A man with ice-blue butterfly wings on his back was flying around the mountain peak with his eyes closed.

Obviously, this was a believer under the Fifth-Class God · Ice Butterfly.

"Brother Chen." A middle-aged woman flapped her butterfly wings and followed up, hurriedly saying, "This person should be inside the mountain!

The frost and snow cannot touch the other party's body, so we cannot perceive them."

The man surnamed Chen opened his eyes and looked coldly at the woman: "Do I need you to tell me?"

The woman pouted, feeling aggrieved in her heart, but in the end, she didn't dare to say anything.

Looking at the other party's appearance of wanting to argue, the man surnamed Chen let out a cold snort: "Fine, then you go report to the higher-ups."

"Ah? I... I go?" The woman's face changed, and a trace of horror appeared in the depths of her eyes.

"Aren't you afraid the master will be anxious? Go!" The man said coldly, flapping his wings and flying away.

The middle-aged woman's face turned pale, and she raised her eyes to look at the high sky.

In the wind and snow, a woman in white as snow was standing on a flying sword.

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a long time, struggling in her heart, but in the end, she bit the bullet and flew up.

"Mas... Master." The middle-aged woman said tremblingly.

One could feel the fear originating from the bottom of her heart, and even the butterfly wings flapping behind her lost their rhythm.

And the flood dragon and fierce beast she feared was a young and beautiful woman.

She was only in her mid-twenties, with long pitch-black hair dancing lightly and a white dress fluttering.

The young woman stepped on a flying sword, which also indicated her identity—a disciple of Jian Yi.

"Speak." The Jian Yi disciple looked at the mountain peak under her feet and spoke lightly.

The Ice Butterfly disciple lowered her head, trembling as she reported: "We have circled the mountain many times and didn't perceive any living beings; there are no ambushes in the mountain forest.

This... this person should be upgrading inside the mountain."

The Jian Yi disciple lowered her head, a pair of cold eyes looking at the Ice Butterfly disciple.

The energy between heaven and earth was all gathering toward this mountain; who didn't know that this person was upgrading in the mountain?

"Mas, Master..." The middle-aged woman trembled, her head hanging lower.

It was hard to imagine that an older Ice Butterfly disciple would use such a form of address and attitude to face a young Jian Yi disciple.

Within the Holy Lingshan realm, there was no law to speak of.

The weak had even less dignity to speak of.

The Jian Yi disciple spoke slowly, her plain tone carrying endless pressure:

"What believer is the other party, how many people in total, and their specific location."

While speaking, she dropped one hand, pressing it on the Ice Butterfly woman's head, feeling the trembling servant under her hand: "I'll give you three more minutes."

"Yes!" The Ice Butterfly woman said tremblingly, hurriedly flying downward.

"Little Jin." Suddenly, a clear and beautiful voice came from afar.

The Jian Yi disciple turned her head to look, her expression softening quite a bit: "Sisters are here."

I saw three Jian Yi disciples flying over on swords from the sky in the northwest direction...
