Chapter 586: Pig-Raising Lu

Three days later, Cloud Sea Cliff.

A full-length mirror with an antique style opened in the small courtyard of Cloud Sea Residence, and the soldiers of the Ran Sect filed out.

Whether it was the end of the war or a halftime break.

Lu Ran wanted to come back, so he came back.

A matter of one step.

When he advanced to the Sea Realm, his survival state underwent a qualitative change!

It was just like human society inventing mobile phones; your longing was no longer entrusted to a letter that would take weeks or months to receive.

Because the person you long for exists in your pocket.

Within reach.

Although that was said, the geographical separation between people still objectively existed.

Lu Ran was even more terrifying!

The existence of the evil technique: Mirror Flower Moon, made distance lose its proper meaning.

At least within the Holy Lingshan Realm, it had no meaning.

From a battlefield of life and death over a thousand kilometers away to a peaceful Cloud Sea Cliff, it only took one thought from Lu Ran.

"Heh." Lu Ran supported his buzzing brain, came to the stone table in the courtyard, and sat down on a stone stool.

Going crazy!

The Thread-Pulling Shadow Evil Sculpture was advancing, from Sea Realm Stage 2 to Stage 3.

Logically speaking, he should be happy.

But at this time, Lu Ran's mental state was very poor.

High-intensity work on the battlefield kept his spirit tense; he had to force himself to observe the situation and operate his thinking, but his brain kept buzzing.

It was simply fatal!

The soldiers looked at Lu Ran, and quite a few were worried.

"Everyone go and rest." Jiang Ruyi spoke at the right time.

With the Sect Master's Lady sending guests away, it was not good for everyone to stay too long, so they bid farewell and left.

Deng Yuxiang did not leave.

Until there were no outsiders in the courtyard, she came to Jiang Ruyi's side: "During the days you weren't here, whenever his sculpture advanced, I would press his head to help him soothe his mind."

Jiang Ruyi raised her eyebrows slightly, quietly looking at the woman beside her.

Why, do you want to give him a massage?

In front of me?

Only hearing Deng Yuxiang suggest: "Shall I guide you in the massage technique?"

Lu Ran supported the stone table with one hand and stood up: "No need, I'll just go and lie down."

Jiang Ruyi smiled: "Alright, thank you Sister Yuxiang."

Lu Ran: "."

Jiang Ruyi took two steps forward and pressed on Lu Ran's shoulders.

"Ruyi, I." Lu Ran really wanted to go and lie down, directly emptying himself.

"Sister Yuxiang wants to teach me." Jiang Ruyi's voice was gentle, her hands exerting slight force, pressing Lu Ran down.

Lu Ran couldn't resist, so he had to sit down.

Deng Yuxiang sat down opposite the two, looking at the suffering Lu Ran, and said softly: "He likes having his temples pressed."

"Hmm." Jiang Ruyi stood behind Lu Ran, extending her slender jade fingers.

Lu Ran: "."

As the Fairy Jiang's fingertips landed on his temples, Lu Ran really felt much more comfortable.

Hmm. It was more of a psychological effect.

Two women, one teaching, one learning.

Lu Ran sat quietly, and unknowingly, his body leaned back, resting in his fiancée's embrace.

Jiang Ruyi's gaze moved slightly, looking at the woman opposite the stone table.

Lu Ran would unconsciously lean in her embrace, and naturally, he had also leaned in Deng Yuxiang's embrace.

Deng Yuxiang read Jiang Ruyi's gaze and smiled: "Before entering the mountain, you specifically instructed me to take good care of him for you."

Jiang Ruyi pursed her lips.

That was a year ago, when the group was returning to Falling Immortal Mountain by car from the airport.

At that time in the car, she had also said a very impolite sentence to Deng Yuxiang—you owe him.

It was just that at this time, the two women tacitly did not mention it.

The courtyard fell into silence.

Jiang Ruyi moved lightly, noticing Lu Ran's brows gradually relaxing, and she lowered her eyelids: 【It seems that I, this fiancée, am very incompetent.】

Since the two reunited, Lu Ran had experienced several sculpture advancements in front of her.

But she had never thought that such an ordinary action, such a superficial external intervention, could really help him.

"Ah? What did you say?" Lu Ran raised his eyes to look upward, his face somewhat confused.

Playing dumb?

Very similar, but it really wasn't.

With Lu Ran's current state, he could send telepathic messages to others and issue orders, but receiving telepathic messages himself, he really couldn't hear them clearly.

On the contrary, speaking normally, Lu Ran could hear more clearly.

"Nothing." Jiang Ruyi smiled.

Deng Yuxiang looked at the intimate appearance of the two, and she slowly stood up, appearing to leave silently.

"Let the Battle of Red Rain Valley end here." Lu Ran suddenly spoke.

Deng Yuxiang's steps stopped, and she turned her head slightly, looking behind her with her peripheral vision:

"Stop thinking, let's discuss it after you've recovered."

Lu Ran said to himself: "Slaughtering too many evil demons in a short period of time also carries certain risks."

Everyone in the Ran Sect was very certain that in the central area of Red Rain Valley, deep underground, there must be an Evil Nest!

It should be a place placed by the Evil God himself to produce evil demon minions.

After all, Lu Ran and the others had been fighting for three days, but the number of evil demons: Thread-Pulling Shadows in the valley had not decreased at all!

Lu Ran and the others were very cautious and did not dare to destroy the Evil Nest.

On one hand, the Evil Nest was a resource refresh point, capable of providing a steady stream of evil demon minions!

Mr. Follow-Dragon's advice echoed in his ears: "Sect Master must never drain the pond to catch the fish."

On the other hand, if the Evil Nest was destroyed, who could foresee what the consequences would be?

It was a recognized fact that the hands of the gods were indeed difficult to reach into the Holy Lingshan.

But if the evil demon himself was truly angered.

Would the other party break the rules, personally descend to the mountain realm, and seek revenge?

At the very least, the Evil God would have to come and rebuild the old nest?

Hmm. In the future, when our side's strength is strong enough, we can use this method to try and lure the Evil God to descend and launch a sneak attack to hunt the other party?

These were all things for later.

Currently, Lu Ran, who had reached the Sea Realm, could be the king of the Holy Lingshan Realm.

But in front of the God and Demon himself, he did not yet have the qualifications to survive!

From this, Lu Ran also thought of another problem: swallowing too many evil demon souls in a period of time should also carry certain risks.

After comprehensive consideration, Lu Ran gave up the original plan of "ascending to heaven in one step."

Anyway, Red Rain Valley was right there.

The Evil Nest was not destroyed, and the Thread-Pulling Shadows would not disperse.

With Lu Ran's current strength, he could completely change his concept and treat Red Rain Valley as an alternative "Nine Star Island."

Just keep the Thread-Pulling Shadow clan and continue to collect Holy Spirit Qi.

Every once in a while, go and harvest a wave.

"We have indeed killed quite a few Thread-Pulling Shadows." Deng Yuxiang saw that Lu Ran insisted on speaking, so she turned around.

In the past three days, the group had not fought toward the enemy's hinterland, fearing that the terrifying output would affect the Evil Nest.

But the Ran Sect team worked on the periphery, and the results were also quite impressive.

Lu Ran closed his eyes and murmured: "The evil demons that died in the early stage of the battle were mostly those that had existed for a long time; these Thread-Pulling Shadows might have collected a little Holy Spirit Qi.

One soul could be worth several, or even a dozen souls.

We can use relatively less slaughter to obtain more resources."

Deng Yuxiang thought thoughtfully and nodded lightly.

Lu Ran's goal was Holy Spirit Qi, not simply harvesting the lives of evil demons.

If the Ran Sect continued to slaughter, the evil demons slaughtered might be new evil demons produced by the Evil Nest.

These Thread-Pulling Shadows naturally had no extra Holy Spirit Qi.

The Ran Sect generals caused more slaughter, the risk increased accordingly, but the harvest decreased accordingly.

The gain was not worth the loss.

Pigs,

still need to be raised fat before slaughtering.

Jiang Ruyi's eyes were somewhat complex.

Lu Ran was thinking.

Although the speed of speech was very slow, the thinking was coherent.

The more he was like this, the more it proved that her actions were effective and could really help him soothe his mind.

So. Why couldn't she think of what Deng Yuxiang could think of?

This was called caring leading to chaos.

At this time, Lu Ran was clearly detached from the battlefield, which allowed him to calmly and bit by bit clarify his thoughts.

"Heh." Deng Yuxiang shook her head and smiled.

"What?" Lu Ran opened his eyes and looked at the other party.

Deng Yuxiang was just about to share, but she saw the woman behind Lu Ran with very low air pressure.

She forcibly stopped the topic and turned to say: "Then let them go."

Deng Yuxiang indeed had many feelings.

In the past, when she accompanied him to the headquarters of the Night Charm clan, they were killed and fled in a sorry state!

From beginning to end, the two had never seen what Night Charm Lake looked like.

Now, treating Red Rain Valley, which was also an evil demon headquarters, Lu Ran's philosophy had changed to "stop while you are ahead."

Comparing the past and the present, the gap was too big.

It could not be denied that the two headquarters had different terrains and different evil demons.

But fundamentally, it was still Lu Ran and his Ran Sect whose strength level had undergone a qualitative leap!

Deng Yuxiang said: "Then I will notify everyone now to let everyone rest in peace."

Getting Lu Ran's approval, Deng Yuxiang turned and left.

Only the two remained in the courtyard; Lu Ran completely relaxed, his body softened, and he collapsed in Jiang Ruyi's embrace.

Jiang Ruyi remained silent, her heart rising and falling, lightly pressing and rubbing his head.

Bad thing!

Actually daring to lean in another woman's embrace.

Really knows how to enjoy!

Jiang Ruyi thought secretly, but she looked at the tired face of the young man in her embrace, and she couldn't get angry.

Especially, Lu Ran's brows would occasionally wrinkle, as if he were very tormented.

Damn guy.

Jiang Ruyi pursed her lips tightly, her hand movements becoming increasingly gentle.

Time came to late night, and Lu Ran was finally liberated!

At that time, he was already lying on the bed in the bedroom, and lying beside him was the beauty Ruyi, whom he had persuaded for a long time before she was willing to rest and sleep.

Three days of continuous fighting, anyone would be very tired.

However, Lu Ran's head finally recovered its clarity, and instead, he couldn't sleep.

His left hand, which was lying on the side, had energy fluctuations at his fingertips, extending five red threads.

Previously on the battlefield, Lu Ran hadn't had time to test them, but now feeling them carefully, he only felt that the operability of the Thread-Pulling Threads had become much stronger.

Each red thread didn't have to be obsessed with the same target but could act separately.

Even better at acting alone!

Lu Ran played with them happily; each thread was as flexible as his own fingers, having a feeling of doing whatever he wanted.

Actually, what satisfied Lu Ran the most was the Thread-Pulling Shadow clan's killing move: Thread-Pulling Pupil!

Lu Ran had already unleashed this technique on the battlefield.

The terrifying mental output of the Sea Grade Thread-Pulling Pupil could, with an absolute crushing posture, instantly collapse the mental defense line of River Estuary Realm evil demons!

The only drawback was that the caster also needed to consume a large amount of mental power.

Using it to fight against enemies of the River Estuary Realm and below was instead a bit of a waste.

But the problem was, it was handsome!

The deep red pupils lit up, and the enemy instantly collapsed mentally, trembling and falling to the ground.

Stare at whoever, and they go soft!

How handsome it was.

【Master.】

【Hmm?】 Lu Ran reacted and probed, 【Eight Desolations?】

The Eight Desolations Blade was not in Cloud Sea Cliff but was left by Lu Ran in the mountain forest south of Red Rain Valley.

【That divine weapon has moved its position and is approaching me.】

【Oh?】 Lu Ran immediately asked, 【Is it fast? Where has it reached?】

【It is not fast, it is still very far away from me, but it is indeed moving in my direction.】

【Hmm.】 Lu Ran felt a sense of relief in his heart, his fingertips trembling lightly.

In the pitch-black bedroom, five red threads swayed lightly.

Eerie and beautiful.

The owner of that divine weapon should be performing a mission normally, right?

After all, the two sides were so far apart.

But if the other party was really coming to kill.

This undoubtedly meant that the owner of the divine weapon was extremely strong and dared to travel long distances within the Holy Lingshan!

Stranger,

are you the former or the latter?

I carefully rewrote the detailed outline.

Omitting the protagonist's mental state change on the battlefield after reaching the Sea Realm, narrating from another angle, integrating it into the text, accelerating the plot advancement, making it clearer and more brisk, and the reading experience should be better.
