Chapter 435

Hundreds of kilometers away, at the bottom of a snowy valley, inside a hidden cave.

Previously, the Ran Sect members set off from here, and now that they have returned, there is one more person.

Lu Ran casually summoned a Lie Tian Hammer.

The hammer was burning with raging flames, dispelling the cold aura in the cave.

Deep in the cave, Deng Yuxiang sat leaning against the stone wall, holding the motionless Yan Shuangzi, one hand gently stroking her messy hair.

She was full of heartache, her fingers gently stroking her friend's deeply sunken eye sockets.

Pale golden fish constantly emerged from Yu Changsheng's side.

The light shone on everyone in the cave, restoring vitality to everyone.

Yan Shuangzi's pale face gradually became a bit rosy, and the shocking wounds on her body, including the hidden ailments in her body, were constantly being healed.

However, the sunken eye sockets under Deng Yuxiang's fingers did not bulge.

Including Yan Shuangzi's severed arm, it did not grow out either.

Lu Ran's face was not very good.

His River-grade Evil Technique·Revival Carp could not regenerate severed limbs for the time being.

And Yu Changsheng's Sea-grade Divine Technique·Longevity Carp, could it not do this either?

Yu Changsheng read Lu Ran's expression and apologized: "Sect Master, Longevity Carp can replenish vitality for the target and help the wounded recover from their injuries."

"However, it cannot yet achieve the effect of regenerating severed limbs."

Severed limbs cannot be born.

Yan Shuangzi's pair of eyeballs naturally could not grow new ones either.

Lu Ran was silent and nodded.

Yu Changsheng added: "Wait until I cultivate to above the Sea Realm, and after the Longevity Carp is raised by another grade, perhaps it will be possible."

These words were not purely comfort.

Yu Changsheng knew his healing Divine Technique very well; the Sea-grade·Longevity Carp had already reached the limit in terms of filling vitality and recovering injuries!

If it were raised by another grade, it should be able to achieve a qualitative change and touch upon higher realms.

After speaking, the cave fell into silence.

Yan Shuangzi's skin gradually became smooth and fair, but this was just superficial work.

The truly terrifying thing about a Sea Realm great physician is that the Longevity Carp he releases can use an absolute magnitude of vitality to make Yan Shuangzi's dying body brand new from the inside out.

Rejuvenated!

Lu Ran waited quietly, saw Xiang Luoying sitting alone to the side, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Divine General Luo."

Xiang Luoying raised her eyes and looked over, bowing her head to Lu Ran.

She had no friendship with Yan Shuangzi and had long been numb to tragic stories, but Xiang Luoying liked Lu Ran's attitude very much.

Treating his own people, Lu Ran was so desperate to save them...

This is good!

One day, Lu Ran would treat her the same way.

Xiang Luoying was even more certain that her loyalty and dedication would be rewarded accordingly.

Lu Ran turned his eyes to the cave entrance, where Jing Hong was standing guard diligently.

He said: "Well done."

Jing Hong's Thunderbolt Horn really fired the first shot for the Ran Sect.

Lu Ran was encouraging his subordinates when he suddenly heard a muddled nasal sound.

He turned his head and saw Yan Shuangzi's fingertips move slightly, waking up from her coma.

"Shuangzi?" Deng Yuxiang also noticed.

Yan Shuangzi's body trembled slightly.

Deng Yuxiang's voice was unprecedentedly gentle: "Shuangzi?"

Yan Shuangzi was stunned for a full twenty seconds before asking in disbelief: "Den... Deng Yuxiang?"

Her voice was unusually hoarse, and her lips were still trembling slightly.

Deng Yuxiang felt a sourness in her nose and pulled Yan Shuangzi into her arms: "It's me, it's me."

Yan Shuangzi struggled to lift an arm, her dirty palm landing on Deng Yuxiang's face, constantly groping.

"Deng Yuxiang... Deng Yuxiang..."

Yan Shuangzi muttered to herself, her fingertips stroking Deng Yuxiang's brows, sweeping past her nose bridge and lips.

Having lost her eyes, she constantly stroked her friend's face, recalling the other's appearance in her mind.

However, those memories seemed to have been a long time ago.

So long that she had almost forgotten this old best friend.

Or rather, the days of long-term imprisonment and torture made Yan Shuangzi forget many things, her memory blurry and unbearable.

"You... how could you, how did you appear here?!" Yan Shuangzi's tone suddenly rose.

Just the second sentence, her emotions completely lost control.

Yan Shuangzi groped Deng Yuxiang's face with one hand: "How could you be here? You shouldn't be here! Go quickly, you... you were also caught by them?"

Suddenly, Yan Shuangzi stopped moving.

She seemed to have lost all her strength, her lonely arm hanging down.

She kept shaking her head, saying vaguely: "No, you shouldn't have come here, no, no..."

As she spoke, two lines of clear tears flowed from those sunken eye sockets.

Deng Yuxiang was heartbroken and immediately explained: "This is not Blade Ridge Peak, we saved you!"

Yan Shuangzi couldn't hear any words; she was immersed in her own world, constantly whispering: "You shouldn't have come to Profound Heaven Sect, everything is a scam!

No, you shouldn't... they can't treat you like this..."

"Yan Shuangzi!" Deng Yuxiang raised her tone, trying to wake the woman who was not in her right mind, "This is not Blade Ridge Peak, Lu Ran saved you!"

Yan Shuangzi's words came to an abrupt end.

Deng Yuxiang kept smoothing her back: "No one will hurt you again, never again."

After a long time, Yan Shuangzi said tremblingly: "I... I left Blade Ridge Peak?"

"Yes, Lu Ran saved you, do you still remember Lu Ran?"

"Lu... is, who..."

"Teacher Yan." Lu Ran spoke softly, "In the first month of last year, we met in Lord Bei Feng City, you gave me a lecture."

Because of the connection with Deng Yuxiang, at that time in Lord Bei Feng City, Yan Shuangzi took good care of Lu Ran.

She also taught Lu Ran about the three realms of a blade user:

Body and blade as one, heart and blade as one, person and blade as one.

Lu Ran had clearer theoretical guidance; since then, when he looked at other powerful martial artists, they were all blades.

"Lu Ran..." Yan Shuangzi frowned, as if trying hard to recall.

It's just that the days of darkness had passed for too long, her brain was very confused, and she didn't seem to be able to remember.

"Don't think about it, Shuangzi, let's not think about it for now." Deng Yuxiang looked at her friend's painful appearance and hurriedly persuaded.

"Hmm, hmm." Yan Shuangzi's head hung down.

Her dirty face buried in Deng Yuxiang's shoulder.

Just a few seconds later, she sobbed again: "It's fake, Yuxiang, everything is fake, fake..."

It could be seen that Yan Shuangzi's mental state was quite worrying.

"I am real, I am right here, everything is real." Deng Yuxiang showed an unprecedented gentle side.

It was like coaxing a child.

However, Yan Shuangzi couldn't hear people talking again.

She kept whispering: "The gods are not saviors, everything is fake! The whole world has been deceived, everyone has been deceived!

There is no way out, there is no hope, the human race will never have a day to win!

It was instructed by the gods, the demons will always abuse and kill us, everything is directed by the gods..."

Yan Shuangzi was like a madman, slurring her words, saying rebellious things.

If it were in the human world, if Yan Shuangzi dared to say such things, she would likely be imprisoned by Lord Bei Feng City and forced to be "treated."

"Hmm, I know, I know."

Deng Yuxiang was extremely patient, holding the thin-as-a-stick woman, constantly soothing her.

Yan Shuangzi shook her head vigorously, full of despair: "No, you don't know! The Lord Bei Feng you have always worshipped is not what you think..."

"I know, Shuangzi!" Deng Yuxiang held up Yan Shuangzi's cheeks, subconsciously wanting to look at her eyes.

Deng Yuxiang suddenly woke up, the other's eyes had already been gouged out.

Those Lord Bei Feng captives all said that this was Elder Xing's order.

Elder Xing announced to everyone that Yan Shuangzi was blind in her eyes and blind in her heart, she was not worthy of having eyes, and then Yan Shuangzi was gouged out in front of everyone's eyes.

Elder Xing didn't gouge Yan Shuangzi's heart.

After all, he still wanted her to live, to use her miserable end to warn all Lord Bei Feng disciples not to be disrespectful to the gods again.

"You don't know, you..." Yan Shuangzi was still struggling, crazy and mad.

Deng Yuxiang shouted in a deep voice: "I have already cut off the contract with Lord Bei Feng!"

Yan Shuangzi's body stiffened suddenly.

Deng Yuxiang held Yan Shuangzi's cheeks, her thumb wiping her tear-filled eye sockets: "As early as a few months ago, I stopped believing in gods."

"You... you cut off the contract?"

"Yes! This Profound Heaven Sect is a burial ground created by the gods for our human race; the gods want us to be slaves for generations, isn't that so? Why should I still believe in the so-called gods?"

Listening to Deng Yuxiang's words, Yan Shuangzi opened her mouth slightly.

A few seconds later, Yan Shuangzi suddenly laughed.

Really like a madman, crying and laughing, shouting and making a scene.

Is it because she finally found a kindred spirit and was overjoyed?

Is it because she was finally understood and wept with joy?

Or is it because she saw the ugliness of this world and couldn't stop crying in sorrow?

Perhaps all of them.

The Ran Sect members were all silent, looking at the madly crying and laughing woman.

How much bitterness can a person have in their heart, and what kind of inhuman torture have they endured to become like this?

And this time, no matter how Deng Yuxiang soothed her, it was useless.

Lu Ran ordered: "Soul-Soothing Horn."

At the cave entrance, Jing Hong immediately summoned an ancient horn, holding it against her lips.

"Woo~~~"

The horn sound was not loud, very low, echoing in the small cave.

Divine Technique·Soul-Soothing Horn: While eliminating mental influence for people, it can also soothe people's emotions and help people stabilize their minds.

Amidst the low horn sound, Yan Shuangzi, who was tired of crying and shouting, leaned in Deng Yuxiang's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

For a long time, Lu Ran pressed his hand down.

The Soul-Soothing Horn stopped, and the soul that had suffered so much torture finally had some stable time to rest.

Deng Yuxiang's straw raincoat was wide enough, and her embrace was warm enough.

Lu Ran didn't feel this scene was very warm, but felt sad and desolate; he lowered his head and turned, walking toward the outside of the cave.

"Hoo~"

The cold wind of the valley blew past, Lu Ran looked up at the night sky and took a deep breath.

Faintly, he felt someone calling him.

Lu Ran immediately connected mentally with the Night Charm Evil Sculpture, imprinting the woman's words in his brain.

【Little Lu Ran.】

【Hmm?】

【I don't have many friends, besides Jiaojiao, it's her.】 Deng Yuxiang paused and requested, 【Help me, you take her as a believer, raise her well like you saved me, can you?】

【Good, which statue do you want her to worship?】 Lu Ran didn't hesitate.

He looked at the stars filling the sky, his eyes flickering.

Of course it's good!

If he could take Yan Shuangzi to take revenge, let her gouge out Elder Xing's eyes with her own hands...

That would be even better.
