Chapter 446: Dividing the spoils

For the next two days, Lu Ran lived in fear.

As time passed, Lu Ran truly realized that the Cloud Sea Cliff where the Ran Sect was located was indeed a treasure land!

First, the only two forces nearby had gone out to sea to search for Immortal Islands.

Second, in terms of the Holy Spirit Mountain realm as a whole, Cloud Sea Cliff was located in a remote border area.

The vast majority of Great Xia believers were "land creatures" and were not willing to approach the dangerous sea.

Therefore, very few people really came here!

The Shi siblings had just stumbled upon this place by accident.

The nearby sea area had also been sealed off by the Ran Sect, with a full 9 Ink Carps of the River Estuary Realm joining forces to keep the riffraff out.

Under various factors, the area where Cloud Sea Cliff was located was relatively quiet.

If this were in the inland, Lu Ran wouldn't dare to imagine how many villains Yan Shuangzi's advancement would have attracted...

On the morning of the third day, the mist in the sky gradually dissipated.

At that time, Lu Ran and the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd were eating and drinking, crazily sponging benefits and absorbing the energy between heaven and earth.

He also sensed the abnormal situation at the first opportunity.

Lu Ran's face was full of joy, and he excitedly transmitted: 【Sister?】

Deng Yuxiang responded immediately: 【Shuangzi succeeded; she has reached the River Estuary Realm.】

【Good!】 Lu Ran's heart was settled.

The River Estuary Realm, the first step to becoming a god.

Yan Shuangzi, who had fallen from the altar, had returned!

Lu Ran immediately opened a teleportation mirror, and afterward, two figures with similar builds and astonishing momentum walked out.

"Sect Master." Yan Shuangzi lowered her head slightly, her voice low.

Lu Ran felt a chill in his heart and looked the woman up and down.

Where was there any sign of Yan Shuangzi being withered and haggard?

Her style had returned, and her momentum had returned!

But there was also a big problem!

Thinking back to when they first met, Lu Ran could see Deng Yuxiang's shadow on Yan Shuangzi.

They were both very proud, bright, and dazzling people.

At this moment, Deng Yuxiang's style remained the same.

Yan Shuangzi, however, gave people a gloomy feeling, as if the whole person was dim.

The fierce and evil aura on her body made even Lu Ran feel a chill...

"Sect Master." Deng Yuxiang reminded softly.

During the entire advancement period, Deng Yuxiang had been accompanying her close friend, so she naturally realized the huge change in her friend.

The Yan Shuangzi of the past had died.

The one living now was a vicious dog that had crawled back out from the abyss.

Deng Yuxiang saw all this in her eyes, and her heart felt very uncomfortable.

It was just that she had no way to change all this.

"Good." Lu Ran patted Yan Shuangzi on the shoulder, and he, who had received a huge impact, accidentally blurted out his true feelings: "In short, it's good to be alive."

Yan Shuangzi remained silent, lowering her head slightly.

Lu Ran paused and said again: "Congratulations on returning to the River Estuary Realm; your spirit and energy are good, I approve!

From now on, you are the third protector of the Ran Sect."

"Yes!" Yan Shuangzi knelt down and bowed her head immediately.

"Choose a code name for yourself." Lu Ran immediately supported her lonely arm.

"Vicious Dog." Yan Shuangzi didn't hesitate.

Lu Ran frowned slightly.

It seemed that she really wanted revenge, wanted to tear the enemy's flesh, and bite the bones of that group of people on Blade Ridge Peak.

Lu Ran supported her to stand up and said: "Change it to another one."

Yan Shuangzi stopped talking.

She was a stubborn person, but she didn't want to disobey the Sect Master's orders.

Lu Ran thought for a while and said: "You and the Vicious Dog Yemo Yemo Xiesu under my command didn't sign a master-servant contract, but an inheritance contract.

My sister should have told you all this?"

Yan Shuangzi nodded lightly.

Lu Ran continued: "In the end, you are going to replace the Vicious Dog Yemo Yemo Xiesu and snatch the position of the Evil God.

That statue will eventually be your own image; you will always be you, not a Vicious Dog."

Yan Shuangzi pursed her thin lips and still didn't speak.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ran simply said: "How about this, let's both take a step back; your code name will be Vicious Shadow."

A perfectly good person, who would become an Evil God in the future!

Why call her a dog?

"Yes." Yan Shuangzi responded in a deep voice.

Lu Ran nodded with satisfaction.

Da Da Mengyan, Vicious Shadow.

The code names of these two protectors were somewhat compatible in style?

Hmm, not bad.

"Notify Jing Hong to bring all the spoils of war to the Council Hall, and then notify everyone to gather at the Council Hall." Lu Ran gave the first order to the protector Vicious Shadow.

"Swish~"

Yan Shuangzi's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.

Lu Ran: "..."

On weekdays, it was always him flashing away, leaving others stunned in place.

Now the tables had turned!

It was his turn to stand here.

After Yan Shuangzi left, Deng Yuxiang no longer hid her inner worries and sighed deeply: "Sigh..."

Lu Ran comforted: "A few days ago, Mr. Conglong reminded me that extreme people will do extreme things.

Fortunately, Teacher Yan approves of me quite a bit.

Don't worry too much, Sister; I will restrain her well and try my best to lead her well."

"Hmm, good." Deng Yuxiang felt slightly relieved in her heart.

"Give me the soul of the Lie Tian believer." Lu Ran said smoothly.

In the past two days, Lu Ran had interrogated and devoured the souls of the Heavenly Luan believer and the Crow believer, but he hadn't moved the dead soul of that Lie Tian believer yet.

Deng Yuxiang immediately raised her hand, and the ancient coin on her wrist trembled slightly; Lu Ran also collected the soul into his pupils.

"Hum!"

Sure enough, the Lie Tian Divine Sculpture in the Sculpture Garden trembled, and its scale gradually expanded.

Jiang Jing, fourth stage... Jiang Jing, fifth stage...

Lu Ran's brain buzzed, but it didn't interfere with his joy!

The Lie Tian Divine Sculpture was already at the fifth stage of the Jiang Jing, and it was still advancing?

Heading toward the River Estuary Realm?

As expected of a guy who traveled north and south, this Lie Tian believer really had goods on him?

River Estuary Realm Lie Tian Divine Sculpture meant the River Estuary-grade Divine Technique "Blazing Explosion Heavenly Vault"!

At that time, would he be able to break through Yu Fish Changsheng's defense?

Lu Ran felt jubilant in his heart.

Killing across realms!

Truly a tempting term.

Deng Yuxiang looked at Lu Ran's excited expression and deduced that he had a rich harvest.

"Sect Master!" Yan Shuangzi's figure appeared abruptly and reported, "Everyone has arrived."

"Let's go." Lu Ran was in high spirits and took the two protectors straight to the Council Hall.

The Council Hall was located in the central area of Cloud Sea Cliff; in order to hide in the forest, the building scale was not large, with a few wooden chairs and a large square table inside, and the decoration was very simple.

A wooden board hung on the wall, which was quite distinctive.

Because it was written with the date: 2020, March 26th.

As of now, Lu Ran had only been in this realm for two months.

Along his journey, the timeline was still quite clear.

As early as half a month ago, on the day Cloud Sea Cliff started construction, Lu Ran calculated the date and reported it.

Every day, Jing Hong would come to rewrite the date.

"Sect Master."

"Sect Master!" When Lu Ran arrived, everyone had indeed arrived.

"Sit, sit, sit." Lu Ran pressed his hands down repeatedly and sat around the large square table with everyone.

On the table lay a large pile of spoils of war.

Lu Ran looked at the woman sitting at the end: "Jing Hong, tell us about it."

Jing Hong immediately reported, as if counting her family treasures: "In the last battle, the Sect Master and everyone captured a magic treasure orb, two Divine Weapon blade and sword, and another Zen staff.

The number of Divine Power beads is 57 in total.

Among them, there are 5 River Estuary-grade Divine Power beads, 49 River-grade Divine Power beads, and 3 Stream-grade Divine Power beads."

Lu Ran's gaze swept over everyone at the table: "This time, Protector Vicious Shadow's advancement was thanks to everyone's efforts to guard her; I thank everyone for their help on behalf of Vicious Shadow!"

Several people responded politely, also knowing that Yan Shuangzi had her own code name in the Ran Sect.

Lu Ran looked at the Xun-Luo couple and apologized: "By rights, it should be rewarding according to merit, but our Ran Sect has just started..."

In a non-combat state, Luo Ying carried a gentle temperament.

Especially when facing the young Lu Ran, her speech was still a bit gentle: "Sect Master, don't worry; you don't need to reward us couple at all.

Besides, Yifei and I don't have time to cultivate feelings with Divine Weapons and magic treasures."

The couple followed Lu Ran loyally, naturally not for these external objects.

Moreover, the situation of the Xun-Luo couple was indeed very special; whenever they went home, they would never carry Divine Weapons, because the perception of aura between Divine Weapons was relatively keen.

The couple couldn't afford the risk of being discovered!

All along, the couple's own Divine Weapons were hidden in the sea.

"Hmm." Lu Ran nodded, not being polite either, "I plan to give this Divine Weapon, the Cold Moon Blade, to Vicious Shadow."

A blade user naturally needs a blade.

"Come, Vicious Shadow." Lu Ran picked up the Divine Weapon, "The Cold Moon blade and sword were both snatched by Shi Yali, and their original names aren't Cold Moon.

Ever since the master died, the blade spirit chose to seal itself and cut off all contact with the outside world."

He turned to look at Yan Shuangzi and handed the Divine Weapon blade over: "Get its recognition early and let it become your Divine Weapon."

Lu Ran added in his heart: Get my Silent Night back early~

"Yes." Yan Shuangzi didn't have any modesty, nor did she have any thoughts of not being worthy of the reward.

Lu Ran ordered her to take the blade, and she took the blade.

"Whoosh~"

Yan Shuangzi released a stream of Divine Power from her hand and injected it into the blade.

With the churning energy, she also outlined the outline of the Cold Moon Blade in her mind.

This was a curved blade.

The curvature of the blade was not small, like a crescent moon.

"Mr. Conglong has been through life and death with us and has devised strategies for the Ran Sect; he has worked hard and made great contributions."

Saying this, Lu Ran picked up the Cold Moon Sword and handed it to Yu Fish Changsheng, who was to the side: "Sir, take a Divine Weapon sword for self-defense."

Yu Fish Changsheng took the Cold Moon Sword with a smile: "Thank you, Sect Master, for the reward."

Lu Ran also smiled and said again: "The sword spirit of this sword is quite interesting; I hope you will let it open its heart early and use it for yourself."

"Yes." Hearing this, Yu Fish Changsheng also became interested.

Lu Ran looked at the pile of Divine Power beads on the table and immediately distributed them.

Lu Ran gave the 5 quail-egg-sized River Estuary-grade Divine Power beads to the Xun-Luo couple, two each, and gave the remaining 1 River Estuary-grade bead to Deng Yuxiang.

Afterward, dozens of River-grade Divine Power beads were divided among everyone in the Ran Sect.

Finally, Lu Ran picked up the magic treasure "Wind Barrier Orb" and told its story.

Everyone also knew the next step of the Ran Sect's plan.

"That's it then!" Lu Ran looked at the date board, "We will rest for a few days; Xun-Luo, you can go home and rest.

Vicious Shadow, you return to the seclusion room to stabilize your realm and get along well with the blade."

As for Jing Hong leading the demon troops and guarding the mountain, Lu Ran didn't specifically instruct, because she was Deng Yuxiang's person.

The Great Da Da Mengyan had already left seclusion and would naturally handle things well.

Lu Ran arranged everything and announced: "Everyone disperse; we will execute the mission in early April."

The people in the room stood up one after another and said goodbye.

Lu Ran looked at the golden Zen staff left on the table, his thoughts drifting far away.

Should he build a treasure room?

In the future, the Ran Sect's spoils of war would become more and more.

Hmm... he could build a small stone room deep underground, directly below Cloud Sea Cliff.

As long as it was deep enough and far enough from the surface, even if he put a Divine Weapon in the treasure room, he wouldn't have to worry about the enemy's Divine Weapon sensing it.

"Uh." Lu Ran rubbed his buzzing head.

That's what he would do!
