Chapter 455

"You're truly fickle!" Lu Ran said in a low voice. "Just a moment ago you had me call you Qi Feng, and now you're calling yourself 'Big Sister'?"

He Qi Feng's smile was very bright: "If you don't follow me, of course I have to hold a position over you."

Lu Ran exerted a little force and finally managed to break free from her palm: "How many people are in your faction now?"

"Currently, my Great Da Da Feng Tang has twelve elite soldiers and strong generals."

"Great Da Da Feng Tang?" Lu Ran raised an eyebrow slightly.

"The great wind rises, and the clouds fly!" He Qi Feng stood with her hands behind her back, her posture arrogant. "Great Da Da Feng Tang."

Lu Ran continued the line: "The power reaches within the seas, and I return to my hometown?"

"Hometown." He Qi Feng murmured in her heart, gazing at the thick, surging sea of clouds high above.

Lu Ran also fell silent.

Hometown—one could only say it was a beautiful vision.

After a long time, Lu Ran finally spoke: "What are the cultivation realms of the twelve people under your command?"

He Qi Feng, however, said: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't, little kid! You only need to know that the members of my Great Da Da Feng Tang are all elite soldiers and strong generals!

Protecting you is more than enough."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran was amused!

Her little mouth is quite stubborn~

Lu Ran tilted his head slightly, smiling as he looked at He Qi Feng's heroic face: "Oh?

Does Big Sister Qi Feng's Great Da Da Feng Tang not have any Sea Realm members yet?"

He Qi Feng's face turned black instantly!

She wanted to say she had one Sea Realm expert holding down the fort, but compared to the Ran Sect, it didn't seem like much to brag about?

He Qi Feng gritted her teeth, glaring at the cheeky face in front of her: "I really want to pinch you to death."

Lu Ran laughed: "Then we must think of a way to communicate in real-time. If you run into trouble, I can help you out in time."

"Heh." He Qi Feng was so angry she laughed, grabbing Lu Ran by the collar: "You just said, how many Sea Realm members does the Ran Sect have?"

"Mm-hmm." Lu Ran nodded decisively.

"What kind of believers, what cultivation realms?" He Qi Feng squeezed the words out through her teeth.

Tsk~

This competitive spirit.

Lu Ran leaned his face back as far as he could: "Disciples of Asha, disciples of Yanqing, disciples of Long Li—all are mid-to-high-tier Sea Realm. They're just barely getting by."

He Qi Feng nearly bit her teeth into pieces!

Just barely getting by?

Disciples of the Second-Class God Asha, the ultimate artillery platform for output!

Disciples of the Third-Class God Yanqing, the absolute kings of water warfare!

Disciples of the Third-Class God Long Li, precious and rare medical support.

Barely! Getting! By?

No wonder this kid was able to snatch back the Wind Barrier Orb.

A full three Sea Realm great powers, and the configuration is quite perfect—offense and defense integrated, with no weaknesses!

"Hands, hands, hands." Lu Ran said, prying away the fingers gripping his collar.

When Lu Ran looked up again, he saw the incomparably complex look in the eyes of the young lady monk.

He Qi Feng: "They come from various sects and factions, their temperaments and characteristics are all different, and they are all Sea Realm great powers. Why would they serve you as their Sect Master?"

Her face had a sentence written on it: How on earth did you do it?

Lu Ran imitated her previous posture, standing with his hands behind his back, his attitude arrogant: "Personality charm—who can explain such a thing?

Perhaps I have a bit of it."

He Qi Feng:???

Lu Ran finally felt comfortable~

It had been so long, and He Qi Feng had said everything; I was about to suffocate!

Properly showing off one's wrist is very necessary.

No matter how He Qi Feng positioned herself, in Lu Ran's mind, she would be a member of the Ran Sect in the future.

He indeed ought to show his own superior qualities.

Lu Ran was secretly pondering when he suddenly sensed an incomparably scorching gaze.

He was very familiar with this kind of look—longing.

Extreme longing!

On the side of the Yan Zhi Ren, Lu Ran could always see it.

Although what He Qi Feng and the Yan Zhi Ren wanted to obtain from Lu Ran was different, their emotions were connected.

Lu Ran: "."

He was still thinking about recruiting He Qi Feng, but after this, had He Qi Feng, this "Lord," become even more thirsty for talent?

"Seriously, we need to find a way to establish contact." Lu Ran said hurriedly.

"Sect Master." The voice of Seeing Yu Changsheng came from behind.

"Mr. Conglong?"

"This subordinate's Misty Rain Fan can be deposited with Master He." Seeing Yu Changsheng picked up the folding fan in his hand.

He Qi Feng naturally realized that this paper fan was a Divine Weapon!

Looking at this Sea Realm great power again, willing to contribute a Divine Weapon just to ease Lu Ran's worries...

He Qi Feng's mood was complex to the extreme.

She was both admiring and secretly sighing.

Lu Ran already had a powerful foundation, and his subordinates were so loyal.

With his abilities, he would surely develop even better in the future, right?

The hope of her recruiting Lu Ran was becoming increasingly slim.

The man and woman were each harboring their own thoughts.

"No need, Sir." Lu Ran raised his hand, and the Silent Zhan Ye Dao flew out with its scabbard.

This was a great opportunity to win people's hearts!

Since he wanted to recruit He Qi Feng into his ranks, then the matter of depositing a Divine Weapon should naturally be done by him, the Sect Master.

In the future, every time He Qi Feng used this blade, she would be grateful to the Master of the Ran Sect!

"Here!" Lu Ran shoved the Silent Zhan Ye Dao into He Qi Feng's arms. "Take it; from now on, we will help each other and communicate in real-time."

Seeing Yu Changsheng nodded secretly; the Sect Master still had some spiritual intuition.

He understood at a single hint.

He Qi Feng: "I..."

Lu Ran's attitude was firm, interrupting her: "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. If I'm in trouble, I will also ask for your help through the Silent Zhan Ye Dao."

He Qi Feng fell silent, slowly drawing the blade from its scabbard.

Of course she recognized the Silent Zhan Ye Dao.

She had studied the footage of Lu Ran's "Lu Lu Tianjiao" countless times.

She had never imagined that one day, this Divine Weapon, the Silent Zhan Ye Dao, would be kept in her own hands.

"Agreed?" Lu Ran asked.

He Qi Feng extended two fingers, gently wiping across the blade, feeling quite reluctant to part with it.

The Monk faction appeared to use staves, but they were actually weapon masters, most of whom were proficient in multiple blades.

Because this faction had a technique—Three Bodies of Angry Eyes!

Which meant that since the moment Monk believers entered the sect, they began preparing for the "three heads and six arms" state.

Previously on "Lu Lu Tianjiao," when He Qi Feng activated the three heads and six arms, one of the bodies used a blade and a sword.

"Clack!"

He Qi Feng sheathed the blade and looked at Lu Ran: "When I cultivate a Divine Weapon, I'll put it with you too!"

"Good, straightforward!" Lu Ran nodded immediately.

He Qi Feng held the Silent Zhan Ye Dao in her arms, making no effort to hide her love and regard for the precious blade, sighing: "It's a pity my Zen staff was lost; it was already very close to being a Divine Weapon."

Lu Ran was stunned for a moment and said: "That golden Zen staff—is it yours?"

He Qi Feng was also stunned: "The Nine-Ring Golden Zen Staff is also with you?"

Lu Ran: "."

Poor young lady monk, you were farmed as a BOSS by the Shi family siblings, weren't you?

You're quite generous, giving out such a big drop?!

Dropping the Dharma Artifact Wind Barrier Orb, and dropping the Divine Weapon embryo Nine-Ring Golden Zen Staff...

Lu Ran asked suspiciously: "On 'Lu Lu Tianjiao,' didn't you use dual blades, a staff, and a long spear?"

Precisely because of this, Lu Ran subconsciously thought that the Zen staff belonged to a Lietian believer. When interrogating the captives, he didn't ask in detail.

He Qi Feng: "That Zen staff was given to me by my elders before I went to Mount Song to go on a pilgrimage and challenge the Divine Ruins."

"Ah, that's fine." Lu Ran nodded immediately. "In a while, I'll have the Zen staff sent back to you."

"Mm." He Qi Feng lowered her head slightly, and her face actually turned red!

She had always longed to recruit Lu Ran, yet since they met, she had always been the one being taken care of.

Receiving someone's kindness, she couldn't act tough even if she wanted to.

It was simply too embarrassing...

Lu Ran looked at her appearance and could roughly guess her psychological state; naturally, he was very happy to see this scene.

Yes! That's exactly right!

He Qi Feng, my future God General of the Ran Sect, just keep owing me.

There will be a time for you to pay it back!

Hehe~

【Silent Night, I'll trouble you.】 Lu Ran connected mentally with the Silent Zhan Ye Dao. 【She is a future God General of my Ran Sect and will eventually be used by me. I'll trouble you to act as the bridge.】

A Divine Weapon recognizes its master and is loyal; naturally, it does the master's bidding.

The Silent Zhan Ye Dao had listened to the entire conversation and also knew that if the master encountered danger, he could ask for reinforcements through it.

It had no objections, only responding: 【Tell her I like quiet.】

【Good!】 Lu Ran responded in his mind, then gave He Qi Feng a few instructions.

As he finished explaining everything, Seeing Yu Changsheng offered congratulations: "Congratulations, Sect Master. We are no longer alone and isolated.

Wandering in this Holy Spirit Mountain Realm in the future, we can finally be considered to have reliable helpers."

He Qi Feng naturally had more than just the Great Da Da Feng Tang; she was backed by the Wu Jifeng!

"Mm." Lu Ran nodded repeatedly.

He Qi Feng finally regained some face!

She continued to save face, reminding him: "Lu Ran, developing forces is important, but don't let your own cultivation fall behind."

Lu Ran: "."

Shouldn't I be the one saying that to you?

How did you beat me to it again?

He Qi Feng took a step forward, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Lu Ran: "We accumulate enough strength, and the ultimate goal is always to ascend to the heavens!"

Lu Ran said: "Mr. Fish calls it 'Ascension'."

"Ascend to the heavens, Ascension—no matter what you call it." He Qi Feng's expression was serious. "If we take one step further, we can get one step closer to the gods."

Lu Ran nodded heavily.

He Qi Feng changed the subject, very confidently: "Previously, you took first place on 'Lu Lu Tianjiao,' but here, I won't let you get ahead.

I will definitely lead my elite soldiers and strong generals to ascend to the Upper Realm before you!"

Lu Ran suddenly blurted out: "Are you planning to run away with my Silent Zhan Ye Dao?"

He Qi Feng:???

"We must act together." Lu Ran said seriously. "Remember, our goals are the same."

He Qi Feng spoke immediately, taking the opportunity to invite him: "In that case, Brother Lu, why not join the Great Da Da Feng Tang, and we can join forces to plot a great cause?"

Lu Ran nodded lightly: "Why doesn't Qi Feng join the Ran Sect? You and I can grow big and strong together and create brilliance?"

He Qi Feng: "."

Lu Ran: "."

The two stared at each other for a full few seconds before they both burst into laughter.

He Qi Feng stopped bringing up the past, changing the subject: "I plan to clear out the Deadwood Forest; these Tree-Face Demon groups are constantly spreading north, getting closer and closer to our Wu Jifeng."

"Good, I'll accompany you." Lu Ran's eyes lit up. "Let's kill more!"

Isn't this free labor?

You guys are responsible for the killing, and I'm responsible for the eating!
