Chapter 643: Martial Emperor!

"I called the two of you here because there is another matter to discuss." Lu Ran calmed his mind and spoke.

Both of them looked at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran gave a sheepish smile: "Ever since I learned I could return to the human world, my heart has been restless."

"Heh."

Hearing this, both of them laughed.

"Only by immersing myself in cultivation can I find some peace," Lu Ran sighed. "That is why, for these past days, I have been sitting by the cliff's edge."

"We originally planned that after helping the Shadow Demon protector take revenge, we would continue south to the headquarters of the Martial Student faction."

Having said this, the two of them understood what Lu Ran meant.

Lu Ran's tone became a bit more serious: "Do you two think I should remain here in the cliff to cultivate, avoiding trouble while waiting for news from Senior Lu?"

"Or should I continue south and carry out the mission?"

Deng Yuxiang did not express her opinion immediately, instead looking toward Yu Fish Changsheng.

Yu Fish Changsheng pondered for a moment and asked: "How does the Lu Zongzhu intend to deal with the Martial Student faction?"

Lu Ran responded quite decisively, clearly having a plan already: "I want to mold Wu Xiao into a second He Qi Feng!"

"Take down this faction and build another Forbidden City."

"In this way, the Wu Seng and Martial Student factions, one in the center and one in the south, will echo each other, radiating over a wider area and protecting more displaced people."

Yu Fish Changsheng nodded lightly: "The Lu Zongzhu has great ambition!"

Lu Ran said helplessly: "I didn't ask you here to flatter me."

"Since that is the case, I will offer a few words." Yu Fish Changsheng pondered for a moment before speaking. "Lu Zongzhu, our Ran Sect conquering the Martial Student faction is different from the battles for Mount Jingting or Blade Spine Peak."

"Our side possesses the trump card of the Sea Realm peak expert, Wu Xiao; we should utilize him properly."

"Go on." Lu Ran's heart stirred slightly.

With such a convenience, he naturally wanted to make some moves using Wu Xiao.

Yu Fish Changsheng spoke quite bluntly: "In the past, the Martial Extreme Peak Wu Seng faction was able to change its sect's tenets and conduct because of a single word from Peak Master Tu."

"Today, the Martial Student faction can also be completely transformed because of a single word from its sect leader."

"That is the logic." Lu Ran nodded repeatedly.

Beside them, Deng Yuxiang spoke up: "Mr. Conglong, don't forget that there are differences in the character of the disciples of these two factions."

The Wu Seng faction was inherently relatively upright.

While the Wu Seng disciples were fierce and combative, most of them valued their reputation.

The reason they became 'Evil Monks' was due to the overall atmosphere of Holy Lingshan.

Therefore, after the new official took office, Peak Master Tu directly 'steered the ship' in the opposite direction of Holy Lingshan's atmosphere, which faced relatively little resistance.

However, the Martial Student faction has a much more complex composition of personnel.

This faction not only has varied styles and countless techniques, but the temperaments of its believers are also diverse.

Treacherous, honest, brave, cowardly, calm, reckless...

It is simply a hodgepodge.

The temperament of the deity Martial Student himself is also fickle and unpredictable.

"The principle remains the same." Yu Fish Changsheng looked at Deng Yuxiang. "Strength is supreme; that is the unchanging truth."

"That is true." Deng Yuxiang acknowledged this statement.

Who cares what kind of person you are?

Surrender, or die!

When you possess absolute strength, you can disregard many things.

Yu Fish Changsheng looked at Lu Ran again and suggested: "What the Nightmare protector said is not without reason. Since the Martial Student disciples have diverse temperaments, we must act according to the individual."

Lu Ran: "Expand on that?"

Yu Fish Changsheng said in a deep voice: "Win over a group, suppress a group, and execute a group."

Lu Ran nodded thoughtfully: "Sir, sit down and speak."

Yu Fish Changsheng obeyed and sat back in his seat: "We can have Wu Xiao return to the Martial Student faction and use his personal strength and influence to develop like-minded people."

"Unite all forces that can be united, suppress those who are indecisive, and when the final move is made, slaughter those who are stubborn!"

"In this way, this faction can retain its powerful strength and belong to the Ran Sect."

"Sir, your words make my heart surge." Lu Ran first gave his approval, then turned to say, "But all of this must be built upon Wu Xiao's absolute martial prowess, right?"

"The Martial Student faction is a first-class deity faction!"

"There is no guarantee that the Lu Zongzhu isn't a Heaven Realm powerhouse."

Yu Fish Changsheng smiled and nodded: "The Lu Zongzhu's words are true! Before today, this plan might have faced heavy resistance due to Heaven Realm powerhouses."

"But after today..."

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

Yu Fish Changsheng elegantly opened his folding fan: "Since they are Heaven Realm powerhouses, they should not remain in the Mountain Realm and meddle in our River and Sea affairs."

"If the other party insists on staying in this realm..."

"Then we will trouble Senior Lu to send the Heaven Realm Martial Student disciples to where they belong."

"What does the Lu Zongzhu think?"

"I go?" Lu Ran's mouth hung open slightly.

"Hehe~" Deng Yuxiang couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking quite arrogant.

Lu Yuan, as a Heaven Realm Dust Shadow disciple, is indeed of the support stream and not good at fighting.

But he can teleport people away from the battlefield and can take people to ascend.

He can even send enemies back to the human world, directly letting the deity Martial Student himself execute this disciple who broke the rules!

He is literally a bug!

Any believer who returns to the human world through 'official channels' must have paid a price.

If you enter illegally and return to the human world with a belly full of secrets, can the deity still keep you?

Slash,

execute immediately!

Of course, if he sends others back to the human world, Senior Lu might also be implicated.

So there is no need to take risks; just send the other party to ascend to the Heavenly Realm.

You are already Heaven Realm, why are you still lingering on Holy Lingshan?

Hurry and follow the deity's decree, ascend quickly!

What?

You don't want to go?

It's okay, I'll help you~

"Sir, you are truly... sinister..." Lu Ran suddenly got stuck.

Because Yu Fish Changsheng's eyes were deep, looking at the Lu Zongzhu.

"Sinister... brilliant and wise! Truly Zhuge Liang reborn!" Lu Ran changed his tone, his face full of approval.

"The Lu Zongzhu flatters me. My little tricks are no match for the Crouching Dragon; at best, I am just a Li Ru."

Lu Ran waved his hand: "Eh~ Sir, no need to..."

Was he secretly implying that I am that muddled and licentious Fatty Dong?

"Ahem." Yu Fish Changsheng realized that the great Lu Zongzhu Lu seemed to have reacted, and hurriedly said, "The Lu Zongzhu just mentioned the matter of Senior Lu."

"If we can fulfill his wish, and if conditions allow, send someone to take care of his wife and daughter in the human world, Senior Lu should be willing to join our Ran Sect."

"He will naturally help with this small favor."

Lu Ran found this quite reasonable.

Seeing this, Yu Fish Changsheng suggested: "Lu Zongzhu, why don't we call Wu Xiao over and discuss it together?"

Lu Ran shot Yu Fish Changsheng a look: "Go, call Wu Xiao over."

Yu Fish Changsheng stopped fanning himself and asked for instructions: "Should I go, subordinate?"

Lu Ran hummed: "Mr. Wenyou, be more confident. This little errand is, of course, for the Shadow Guard team."

Yu Fish Changsheng was stunned for a moment.

Wenyou?

He laughed dumbly and cupped his hands: "The Lu Zongzhu is wise!"

Although Lu Ran was not well-versed in poetry and songs, he had a wide range of exposure to crosstalk and storytelling.

After all, when surviving in the human world, spiritual food was indispensable.

He relied on these things to fall asleep every day.

Before long, a valiant young man walked into the entrance of the council hall.

More than just mighty and majestic?

He was even holding a Fangtian Huaji!

On normal days, Lu Ran didn't really feel anything, but looking at Wu Xiao now, Lu Ran felt a bit numb!

"Lu Zongzhu!"

Wu Xiao knelt on one knee and cupped his hands in salute.

Perhaps worried that the Purple Thunder Wild Dragon Halberd might cause some trouble, Wu Xiao also gripped the Fangtian Huaji tightly while saluting.

The gleaming tip of the halberd made Lu Ran's scalp tingle!

"Martial Emperor, sit!" Lu Ran said immediately.

Wu Xiao was puzzled, not knowing where this title came from.

However, he was not a talkative person, nor was he a curious one, so he stood up and went to take a seat.

Lu Ran spoke: "Do you know why I haven't given you a title since you joined the Ran Sect?"

Wu Xiao stood up again, expressionless: "I do not know."

Lu Ran smiled: "The Ran Sect has not only the Four Great Protectors and Eight Great Divine Generals, but also another sequence—Heavenly Emperor."

"It means a human emperor who dominates a side of heaven and earth."

Wu Xiao remained silent and lowered his head, unmoved.

This sequence was a title that He Qi Feng had specifically requested Lu Ran to create.

Back then, when He Qi Feng received this title, he was incredibly happy.

It could be seen that the Wu Seng faction indeed valued names.

Looking at the great Martial Student below, he had no reaction at all!

This made Deng Yuxiang nod secretly.

There are many soldiers in the Ran Sect, and their types are different.

But from the bottom of her heart, she liked people like Wu Xiao, Yu Fish Changsheng, and Yan Shuangzi the most.

Entering the game with her own body, Deng Yuxiang also liked herself.

Herself under Lu Ran.

"In the Ran Sect, there is another Wind Heavenly Emperor, but you have never seen her." Lu Ran spoke slowly. "She is a Wu Seng disciple who, leaning on Martial Extreme Peak, built a Forbidden City in the center of the Holy Lingshan continent."

"Used to rectify the atmosphere of Holy Lingshan, take in displaced people, and also transport talent for our Ran Sect."

Wu Xiao listened silently.

In a few words, he knew what the Lu Zongzhu wanted him to do.

Sure enough, Lu Ran changed the subject: "Now, I want you to seize the position of Lu Zongzhu of the Martial Student faction."

"Follow the example of the Wind Heavenly Emperor and build an ancient city in the south of the Holy Lingshan continent to protect all living beings."

"Does Martial Emperor have the confidence?"

Wu Xiao responded briefly: "Obey!"

Lu Ran: "..."

Deng Yuxiang frowned slightly and spoke: "Martial Emperor's personal strength is beyond doubt."

"But his ability to secretly infiltrate and develop members..."

Lu Ran also frowned.

Talent is categorized.

Wu Xiao is definitely not a person who is good at eloquence.

"Lu Zongzhu!" Yu Fish Changsheng volunteered, "Why don't you let your subordinate accompany Martial Emperor back to the Pear Garden Sect?"

Pear Garden Sect, the headquarters of the Martial Student faction.

It also stands on a towering high mountain.

But it is not called Mountain or Peak or anything.

"Mr. Conglong wants to take risks?" Lu Ran felt some resistance in his heart.

Yu Fish Changsheng's expression remained normal, comforting him: "Lu Zongzhu, do not worry. Your subordinate has a Survival Carp, and can escape in an instant."

"Furthermore, with Martial Emperor's might, no one would dare to treat me roughly."

Wu Xiao rarely spoke, saying a long sentence: "Many years ago, your subordinate spent some time in the Pear Garden Sect and had a few fellow disciples I was close with."

"If the Lu Zongzhu wants a peaceful evolution, these people can serve as entry points."

"Peace is only relative; hard bones must be gnawed eventually." Lu Ran muttered.

Should I send Yu Fish Changsheng?

Dragon Carp Divine Technique, Survival Carp, is indeed very strong... eh?

Lu Ran suddenly looked up.

He saw wisps of mist emerging in the council hall.

This is?

Lu Ran thought of something and immediately contacted the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd, discovering that the little guy was cheering and jumping for joy.

Fairy Jiang has started the advancement mode!

There will be another chapter tonight.
