Chapter 454

He Qi Feng's eyes were fervent.

Her slightly leaning body was even more oppressive.

This look of thirst for talent was even more intense than Lu Ran's.

It made Fish Changsheng sigh in his heart.

This famous Pride is probably not going to be recruited.

She is clearly not a subordinate, but a "Lord."

He Qi Feng has ability, means, and even more, the ambition to change the pattern of the world!

More importantly, she has the backing of a famous sect like Martial Extreme Peak, with the right time and place, having met a Peak Master who also intends to make some changes.

He Qi Feng is already a big tree; others should join her command and depend on her.

Why would she join the Ran Sect?

From another perspective, if He Qi Feng abandoned the top-tier resources of Martial Extreme Peak to join the Ran Sect, that would be truly brainless.

Since she cannot be recruited, let's cooperate first.

Fish Changsheng pondered secretly.

He Qi Feng's identity is quite tricky; he can only look for opportunities later...

She and Lu Ran are both for the human race, but the paths they take are different.

He Qi Feng has the backing of a behemoth like Martial Extreme Peak, and her strength is out in the open; she can act openly.

As she said, she wants to rely on the influence of the Pride to recruit believers from various sects, and then change the overall pattern within Holy Lingshan.

Lu Ran has the backing of a god!

He is doing the work of pulling the firewood from under the cauldron, aiming at the rulers at the very top.

Lu Ran wants to solve the problem from the root!

Once successful, what Lu Ran changes is not just Holy Lingshan, but the fate of the entire human race.

Unlike He Qi Feng, Lu Ran can only act in the dark and needs to be extremely cautious.

The ancients said: Things succeed through secrecy, and fail through leakage!

This also destined that the Ran Sect must take the "boutique" route.

Lu Ran recruits absolutely loyal subordinates, individuals with the potential to slaughter gods and demons, rather than recruiting thousands of sect members.

"One champion, one runner-up." Fish Changsheng muttered in his heart.

This pair of men and women standing at the peak of Pride, whether it is their vision, courage, or that jaw-dropping ambition...

are indeed very similar.

"Pride He, I have a question for you." Lu Ran suddenly spoke.

"Call me He Qi Feng."

"Alright, He Qi Feng, have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if the pattern of Holy Lingshan were really changed by you, and the human race no longer killed each other?"

"Ice three feet thick is not formed in a single day." He Qi Feng responded.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran raised an eyebrow slightly.

He Qi Feng slowly lowered her hands: "Holy Lingshan, this human purgatory, was not formed in a day or two. The pattern within this realm cannot be changed overnight either."

Lu Ran felt her astonishing aura and said bluntly: "You are avoiding my question."

"Of course I know that the gods want people to die here; once the human race no longer kills each other..."

He Qi Feng looked up at the sea of clouds in the sky and continued: "My actions will provoke the wrath of the gods."

Lu Ran: "So?"

He Qi Feng's eyes were firm: "The Holy Lingshan realm has many forces, and the believers of the gods have stubborn thoughts and extreme blind loyalty; perhaps it will take ten or even decades to have a real change.

Therefore, the work must still be done!"

After speaking, He Qi Feng turned to look at Fish Changsheng.

Lu Ran realized something and said: "He is my companion, a person who shares my ideals, and also someone I can absolutely trust."

He Qi Feng remained silent.

Lu Ran thought for a moment and still gestured to Fish Changsheng.

Fish Changsheng: "..."

The Sect Master had ordered, so he had to obey, turning and walking into the distance.

Seeing this scene, He Qi Feng had some calculations in her heart.

She naturally sensed that the handsome and unparalleled young master had extremely strong strength and realm!

Presumably, Lu Ran was able to retrieve the Wind Barrier Bead with the help of this man.

And from the interaction between the two, although Lu Ran is at the River Estuary Realm, he seems to occupy the dominant position?

Unexpected, but also reasonable.

After all, this is Lu Ran...

He Qi Feng thought secretly, continuing the previous topic: "So, the work must still be done. To benefit the human race, and even more to accumulate strength!"

Lu Ran: "Accumulate strength?"

"Accumulate strength." He Qi Feng raised her head, gazing at the churning sea of clouds, word by word, "Step into the clouds."

She didn't say it nakedly, but the meaning was already very clear.

Lu Ran also knew why she wanted to send Fish Changsheng away.

He Qi Feng no longer looked at the churning sea of clouds, but looked at Lu Ran with burning eyes: "I firmly believe that on the road I travel, I will meet one 'you' after another!"

"Oh?" Lu Ran raised an eyebrow slightly.

Once again, He Qi Feng pressed Lu Ran's shoulders: "On the journey of our career, we will definitely meet many 'us'!"

Her palms gradually tightened, every word sonorous: "Perhaps I will fail, perhaps I will be smashed to pieces.

Just like this Holy Lingshan, it cannot be changed overnight. And what I really want to accomplish might not be achieved in one or two generations.

But it doesn't matter!

I, we, many of us, will forge a spirit!"

Lu Ran looked at He Qi Feng blankly.

With a little contact, she revealed her heart bit by bit, and Lu Ran realized that this female Martial Monk's level of thought...

is a bit astonishing?!

He Qi Feng said in a deep voice: "This spirit will be passed down.

Our next generation, the next, generation after generation, we will eventually uphold this spirit and complete the unfinished business of you and me!

Lu Ran, the gods and demons have descended for forty years, and the human race has been enslaved for forty years; it is time for a change.

Why don't you and I be the flag-bearers?

Shake the shackles of thought of all living beings, and set up a flag and blaze a trail for our descendants?"

Lu Ran looked expressionless, but his heart was churning.

What an ambitious big Pride!

She didn't think about achieving it overnight, and was even prepared to sacrifice herself.

From He Qi Feng's perspective, such a grand cause is indeed not something that can be achieved in one or two generations.

One generation naturally has the mission of one generation.

And He Qi Feng's self-positioning is the person who blows the horn!

"Lu Ran." He Qi Feng's tone suddenly softened, "I cannot complete these things alone."

She let go, and the straw leaves on Lu Ran's shoulders were grabbed out of shape by her.

The astonishingly imposing He Qi Feng's movements actually became gentle, tidying the straw leaves on his shoulders and smoothing his clothes for him: "I need you."

At this moment, the so-called leadership temperament and personal charm were concretized in Lu Ran's eyes.

This girl... is truly a good means.

"Coincidentally." Lu Ran calmed his emotions and said, "The things I want to accomplish cannot be done by one person either."

He Qi Feng's eyes lit up!

Lu Ran smiled: "To tell you the truth, I came here this time specifically to recruit you."

He Qi Feng was stunned instantly.

Hearing Lu Ran's words just now, she thought he was going to go with her, but this...

"Mr. Long Li." Lu Ran waved to the distance.

Fish Changsheng walked over immediately, respectfully saying: "Sect Master, may I have a word?"

"Mm." Lu Ran nodded to He Qi Feng first, then turned and walked over.

Sect Master?

He Qi Feng remained silent, her mind very active.

It seems her guess was correct.

What a Lu Ran!

Such a terrifying Sea Realm high-level expert is actually so respectful...

One must know that there is no base for the Immortal Sheep sect in this realm, so Lu Ran has no backing to speak of!

Thinking of this, He Qi Feng's gaze toward Lu Ran became a bit complex.

"Sect Master, we can form an alliance with her, but the recruitment matter is not urgent at this moment." Fish Changsheng whispered.

Lu Ran pondered for a moment and said: "Just now, after you were sent away, she said these words..."

As Lu Ran recounted in detail, Fish Changsheng also nodded secretly.

However, he still maintained his point of view: "I still think this is not a good opportunity for recruitment."

"Please enlighten me, Mr."

"If this woman's ambitions are unfulfilled, or her situation is difficult, we should naturally win her over."

Fish Changsheng paused and continued: "But her situation is excellent! With the backing of Martial Extreme Peak and the support of the Peak Master, she has ambition and high spirits; at this stage, how could she be willing to be under someone else?"

Lu Ran nodded in agreement.

Fish Changsheng's expression was serious: "And the things the Sect Master is doing absolutely cannot tolerate any mistakes! Those who know your secrets must be absolutely loyal to you, or be firmly held in your palm."

Lu Ran nodded again.

Fish Changsheng: "The things Pride He is doing now rely heavily on Martial Extreme Peak, and she must be deeply connected with this sect.

The Sect Master's trump cards are not suitable to be revealed to this person for the time being."

"That's the logic." Lu Ran sighed lightly, "Then let's cooperate first; it's a good time for in-depth investigation."

Fish Changsheng immediately said: "The Sect Master is right! If her words are from the heart, she will eventually be a member of our Ran Sect!

After all, the goals she wants to achieve in several generations, for us...

is what our generation should complete!"

Lu Ran agreed very much.

In this world, only he can give He Qi Feng a "God Position," which can infinitely raise her upper limit!

From this perspective, He Qi Feng will join the Ran Sect sooner or later.

Fish Changsheng continued: "As for the current stage, the Ran Sect can cooperate with her to seek survival and development in the Holy Lingshan realm."

"Good." Lu Ran nodded lightly and turned to walk toward He Qi Feng.

And at this moment, He Qi Feng was standing with her hands behind her back, looking at Lu Ran with a smile.

As he approached, she smiled: "You built a force yourself?"

"Mm."

"What's the name?"

"Ran Sect." Lu Ran responded truthfully.

"Heh." He Qi Feng smiled, "Truly narcissistic."

Lu Ran: "..."

He Qi Feng turned and stepped toward the hilltop.

Lu Ran naturally sensed that her attitude had changed somewhat.

Until the two reached the high ground, He Qi Feng gazed at the distant mountains and asked softly: "How is the Ran Sect developing?"

"Not bad, a few Sea Realms, a few River Estuary Realms." Lu Ran said casually.

Sea Realm? A few?

"Sigh." He Qi Feng's heart was complex, sighing deeply, feeling a sense of loss.

"What are you sighing for?" Lu Ran asked confusedly.

"Sighing that you have drifted away from me..." He Qi Feng looked into the distance, her eyes a bit blurry.

Lu Ran: "..."

Her thin lips parted slightly, and she said lightly: "When you discovered I was a Hall Master, holding some power, you must have had the same feeling."

Lu Ran looked at her heroic side profile and couldn't help but praise her in his heart.

Truly a wonderful person.

After he returned from talking with Fish Changsheng, he hadn't said anything yet, but she seemed to know everything.

"Hoo~"

The mountain wind blew, and her short hair fluttered lightly.

He Qi Feng withdrew her gaze, turned to look at Lu Ran, and slowly extended her hand: "Work together?"

Lu Ran looked at her slender and powerful palm, not moving for a moment.

"What, not willing?"

"Willing." Lu Ran said immediately, "Shaking hands is fine, your suitor might get jealous."

"You little brat, that's all you've got?" He Qi Feng scolded with a smile, forcibly grabbing Lu Ran's hand, "Think I don't know what you're thinking?

Just squeezed you once, and you're still remembering it?"

"Uh." Lu Ran grimaced; unsurprisingly, his hand bones were squeezed until they creaked.

He Qi Feng: "I bet my hall will definitely develop better than the Ran Sect!"

Lu Ran snorted; this girl's competitive spirit was up again.

"Whoa!" Lu Ran felt a huge force coming, pulling his body forward.

He Qi Feng's face leaned forward, her lips close to Lu Ran's ear, whispering: "Listen well, the gates of Martial Extreme Peak are always open to you.

When you can't make it anymore, come find Sister He Qi Feng.

Sister will protect you."

Lu Ran: "..."
