Chapter 468: Demon Name Sea Jiaoren

Lu Ran kept his promise, ran an errand, handed the Nine-Ring Golden Zen Staff to He Qi Feng, and then quickly returned to Cloud Sea Cliff.

Afterward, Lu Ran dove into the seclusion room, had a heart-to-heart talk with Deng Yuxiang, and dug deep into her insights.

One night several days later, Lu Ran, unable to hide his disappointment, was kicked out of the stone room by Deng Yuxiang.

He, who had been carrying high ambitions, had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

From head to toe.

Deng Yuxiang's path was very clear; even from certain angles, she was more resolute and determined than Lu Ran!

However, wanting to break through to the Sea Realm really wasn't something that could be done just like that.

Talent, effort, insight, and luck were all indispensable.

For someone who could become a powerhouse, effort was naturally standard.

Deng Yuxiang had already bound herself to the Night Charm evil statue, and the degree of fusion was very deep, so her talent was naturally top-tier.

In terms of insight, Deng Yuxiang had sufficient height and depth.

In the past, she had taken root in the small Rain Alley City; now, she had the vision and the qualifications to expand the concept of her hometown to the human world.

The path Deng Yuxiang had firmly stepped onto, that ambition, had even touched upon the level of gods and demons.

Lu Ran didn't think her insights weren't profound enough.

Looking at it this way, perhaps she was just missing a bit of luck.

And he didn't know when that "sudden flash of inspiration" that the world craved would descend.

"Heh..."

In the pitch-black dense forest, Lu Ran stood at the cave entrance, looking around at the silent night.

Great Da Da Mengyan... you have such a cruel heart!

I sat and talked with you day and night, wanting you to break through so badly I went crazy! And you tell me to roll home and sleep?

I'm your Society Master, after all; you can't just kick me out like that...

Really... Hmph, I won't sleep!

Lu Ran's figure flickered, and he arrived at the sea cliff.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the wind was light and the sea was vast.

He closed his eyes, letting the salty sea breeze brush his face; gradually, he wasn't so worked up anymore.

After a long time, Lu Ran shook his head and smiled.

This impatient habit of his really hadn't been corrected yet!

No way around it.

The temptation of personally cultivating a Sea Realm powerhouse was simply too great.

But "sudden flashes of inspiration" weren't on call; even if you were fully prepared, you still had to wait for an opportunity.

"Splash~"

Lu Ran opened his eyes, listening to the sound of waves hitting the shore, looking out at the distant night sky.

Then he would give the Da Da Mengyan Protector and the Mad Immortal Protector plenty of time to gain insights within the cliff!

He would lead a few people out to sea, find islands, collect spiritual energy, and raise divine statues—killing two birds with one stone.

If they suddenly opened the breakthrough mode, he also had the Evil Technique: Mirror Flower Moon, and could return in a few teleports.

Lu Ran thought secretly, calling out in his mind: 【Evil Shadow, go invite Mr. Cong Long over.】

【Yes.】

Lu Ran sat down, again dangling his lower legs over the cliff, swinging them leisurely.

A moment later, Yu Changsheng, with a sleepy look on his face, arrived behind Lu Ran: "Society Master."

"Sorry to disturb your rest, sir." Lu Ran didn't turn his head.

Yu Changsheng's eyes were dim, but the words he spoke were the exact opposite of his expression: "Not at all.

Since the Society Master called me over in the middle of the night, there must be an important matter to discuss!"

"Nothing big." Lu Ran lowered his head, looking at the flying spray at the sea reef. "I've been discussing the Dao with the Da Da Mengyan Protector for many days.

I haven't seen you for a long time, sir, and I've missed you."

Yu Changsheng:???

Lu Ran suddenly turned his head and looked up at the man: "Don't you miss me, sir?"

Yu Changsheng twitched the corners of his mouth awkwardly.

For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

"Hehe~" Lu Ran grinned. "I plan to go out to sea tomorrow; what do you think, sir?"

Yu Changsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes were somewhat resentful: "The Society Master is finally going out to sea."

"Yes." Lu Ran nodded slightly. "Find the Evil Mirror Demons, collect Holy Spirit Qi, and by the way, go to the deep sea area to look for the Sea Jiaoren clan."

"Sea Jiaoren." Yu Changsheng was thoughtful.

Lu Ran nodded slightly: "I plan to blend into their ranks, fill in my own shortcomings, and from then on, I won't fear water-based techniques.

I can also summon the Sea Jiaoren clan to assist the Xiao Xiao Mo Li clan and consolidate our control over this sea area."

"Good!" Yu Changsheng nodded immediately.

Lu Ran gave a "hmm" and continued: "The Da Da Mengyan and the Mad Immortal are both working hard to gain insights and break through great realms, so they need someone to guard them.

Who do you think I should take with me on this trip to sea, sir?"

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment and said: "Most people in the Lu Ran Society are not good at naval warfare; the Society Master can take me and Xun."

Lu Ran nodded secretly.

Yu Changsheng added: "The Evil Shadow Protector, who has always followed the Society Master, must also stay behind."

Evil Dog Evil Technique: Evil Consciousness, was a necessity for Yan Shuangzi's life and combat.

Yet, the Sea Jiaoren clan possessed sound-based techniques: Sea Jiaoren Song!

This technique was exceptionally piercing!

On a physical level, it could cause splitting headaches; and on a spiritual level, it could make the target panic and lose their composure.

For someone like Yan Shuangzi to rashly venture into the deep sea area would inevitably be quite dangerous.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran frowned slightly, sensing a trace of ferocity.

Clearly, Yan Shuangzi was quite dissatisfied with Yu Changsheng's words.

Yu Changsheng didn't seem to notice, just standing quietly, motionless.

"Withdraw your hostility." Lu Ran said.

The sea cliff area immediately returned to normal; the sea breeze blew, and the atmosphere became peaceful again.

Lu Ran was completely numb!

Yan Shuangzi, oh Yan Shuangzi, are you really that bold?

You, a River Estuary Realm beginner, dare to treat a Sea Realm: Fourth Stage Yu Changsheng like this...

Hmm... you have quite a bit of my style!

A few months ago, when I faced the Sea Realm disciples of Jian Yi and Yu Fu, I also went head-to-head~

"Why don't you stay at Cloud Sea Cliff too, sir?" Lu Ran suddenly said.

Yu Changsheng said softly: "Society Master, I know you care about the safety of the Protectors, but the strength of our garrison is quite good, and we have Divine General Luo sitting in command.

If we really encounter a situation, the Society Master can open the bronze mirror a few times, and we will be back."

Lu Ran nodded secretly; great minds think alike.

Yu Changsheng increased the weight of his tone and advised: "Society Master, your safety is the most important."

"Alright, sir, go back and rest; we'll set off tomorrow morning." Lu Ran followed the advice.

"Yes." Yu Changsheng took his leave, but after walking only a few steps, he stopped again. "Society Master, get a good night's sleep too.

Once you go, who knows how long it will be before you can rest peacefully again."

Lu Ran lay back casually, looking at the stars in the night sky: "I'll sleep here tonight."

Yu Changsheng looked at Lu Ran's free-spirited appearance and couldn't help but smile silently.

A few months ago, Lu Ran had been here, secretly feeling sad and homesick.

Now...

Regardless of whether Lu Ran still wanted to go home, at least on the surface, he was very free and easy.

Perhaps, this was what they called growth.

The night passed without further words, and the next morning.

Lu Ran arranged everything on the cliff, exhorted the two Protectors, Da Da Mengyan and Mad Immortal, to gain insights properly, and then, under the farewell of the soldiers, opened an ancient bronze mirror.

Captives had once said that there were many islands on the sea; as for the islands where the Evil Mirror Demon clan appeared, one just had to keep swimming east.

Lu Ran looked in the direction of the morning sun and opened the Evil Technique: Mirror Flower Moon.

After leaving the sea area controlled by the nine big fish, the trio prepared to dive into the sea.

This trip was not just a journey to find islands, but a journey of slaughter!

Xiao Xiao Mo Li, Fisherman, Sea Jiaoren, and all other water-based demons—Lu Ran wanted them all!

"Xun!" Lu Ran walked out of the teleportation mirror and looked at the Lu Ran Society Divine General. "We are about to enter the sea; do you have any instructions?"

Xun Yifei was an expert in naval warfare, after all; asking him was definitely not wrong.

He saw Xun Yifei holding a divine weapon, suspended in the air: "Since the Society Master wants to hunt as many demons as possible, after we enter the sea, we can advance in a triangular formation.

I will lead the charge, and you and Cong Long will follow behind me on the left and right, unleashing corresponding techniques to expand our perception range as much as possible."

"Good!" Lu Ran nodded immediately.

Xun Yifei pointed his divine weapon downward, and his whole body pierced straight into the sea.

Now, Lu Ran already knew the name of this trident—Flying Waterfall Flowing Spring.

This name was very fitting for the effect of his divine weapon domain!

"Splash!"

The trio dove into the sea and quickly formed a formation.

Xun Yifei took the lead, clearing the way for the squad.

Lu Ran immediately released endless illusory little Ink Carps.

Yu Changsheng summoned the Praying Rain Carp; because they were in a hurry, he held the pale golden little Dragon Carp in his arms.

Golden fine rain fell vertically in the sea.

It was called fine rain, but it was actually fine light beams in the shape of rain; this perception technique was not affected by the environment.

Lu Ran and Yu Changsheng were both wrapped in soft, flowing gauze, one black and one gold, following Xun Yifei on the left and right.

The trio traveled for a long time without seeing any demons.

In the vast sea area, finding a demon tribe really wasn't an easy task.

"Gurgle~"

Lu Ran, feeling quite bored, blew a small bubble.

Honestly, Lu Ran had no practical experience with traveling in the sea.

The black gauze wrapped around Lu Ran's body in a beautiful spiral pattern; he felt like he was in outer space, floating in a weightless environment, with no feeling of swimming at all.

He didn't feel suffocated either; the black gauze provided him with all the necessary conditions for survival.

Just as Lu Ran wanted to notify the two to dive up and see if the direction was correct, he suddenly sensed that the illusory little Xiao Xiao Mo Li seemed to have touched something?

Lu Ran turned his head abruptly and looked to the lower right.

It was empty there, with nothing at all.

Nothing?

Are you kidding me!

The little Xiao Xiao Mo Li touched you, get out here!

"Whoosh!"

Lu Ran didn't say a word, reaching out with a "White Dragon Probing the Sea."

Well, actually, it was the Jade-Faced Snake Evil Technique: Immortal Sky Python!

The illusory white-scaled giant python killed its way out, roaring toward the lower right.

"Hum!"

Energy surged, and the water waves vibrated.

Lu Ran's eyes narrowed instantly!

The enemy he had sensed had clearly dodged, but outside the perception range of the sky-filling Ink Carps, Lu Ran saw with his eyes another guy who had been flushed out by the giant python!

The opponent looked like a handsome young man with long, silver-white hair.

He wore a silver eye mask that looked like small wings, which was quite mysterious.

He was shirtless, and the lower half of his body was actually a silver-white fish tail!

That long fish tail looked like a gorgeous silver-white dance skirt, shimmering with light, swaying lightly as he swam in the sea.

Not a disciple under the god Yan Qing.

But the Evil: Sea Jiaoren clan, who could also hide in the water, colorless and formless!

"Damn!" Lu Ran's heart tightened.

When did this group of guys follow them?

And he didn't know how many were hiding around...

Lu Ran hurriedly closed the Evil Technique: Evil Consciousness, and his vision plunged into pitch darkness.

Dark?

Even if it's dark, close it!

If the opponent sang the Sea Jiaoren Song, he was afraid he would be nailed to this sea area!
