Chapter 645

More than twenty kilometers northeast of the Pear Garden Sect, in a lush mountain forest.

Lu Ran holds Yu Seeing Yu Changsheng's hands, urging him repeatedly: "Take care, sir. Once you find the situation is not good, we run!

Life is precious; don't you dare clash head-on with this group of Wu Sheng!"

Yu Seeing Yu Changsheng: "..."

I have to be able to clash with them first!

I'm a physician, how can I take on this group of opera singers...

Jiang Ru Yi watches this scene with a smile and says: "Sir, after you have scouted the overall strength of the Pear Garden Sect, let us know as soon as possible."

Whether there is a Heaven Realm powerhouse in the Pear Garden Sect determines the Ran Sect's overall strategy moving forward.

"Your subordinate will definitely do my best!" Yu Seeing Yu Changsheng pulls his hands away from Lu Ran and bows to Jiang Ru Yi.

Lu Ran looks at the silent Wu Xiao and urges: "Be cautious in your words and actions; discuss everything with Mr. Yu."

"Yes!" Wu Xiao holds his Fangtian Painted Halberd, cups his hands, and lowers his head.

The gleaming tip of the halberd makes Lu Ran subconsciously step back.

"Alright, go." Jiang Ru Yi takes Lu Ran's arm and says softly.

The two bid farewell and leave, leaving behind two pitch-black divine steeds.

The Pear Garden Sect is very conspicuous.

Similar to Sword Shanfeng and Blade Ridge Shanfeng, the mountain where the Pear Garden Sect is located also has a sharp peak that pierces the sky.

Within the Holy Lingshan realm, the one thing there is no shortage of is mountains.

But there are truly not many peaks that can reach the sea of clouds in the sky.

This peak seems to be declaring to all living beings: the power entrenched here has heaven-reaching strength!

Until the two figures disappear into the forest, Lu Ran withdraws his gaze, opens a teleportation mirror, and sends the horses back to Cloud Sea Cliff.

"Let's go, Tricky Moon Forest." Lu Ran turns his head to look at Qin Yanzhi.

Qin Yanzhi immediately spreads his palm, and a black Other Shore Flower blooms.

Everyone feels a blur before their eyes, and they, along with their horses, are teleported to a cliff.

"Sect Master, that over there is the Tricky Moon Forest." Qin Yanzhi steps to the edge of the cliff and points to the southeast.

Deng Yu Xiang rides her horse forward, her gaze reaching far.

She sees the environment of the distant mountains change suddenly; it is no longer a lush forest.

There are mostly withered trees, generally growing tall, with branches that are twisted and strange-shaped.

It is as if countless pairs of withered arms are reaching toward the sky, trying to grab something.

"Good heavens~"

Lu Ran grins; his eyesight is much better than Deng Yu Xiang's, so he sees it more clearly.

He sees that the huge withered trees are covered in cracks, like twisted faces.

Ferocious and eerie.

If someone hadn't been pointing the way, Lu Ran would definitely have thought this was the gathering place of the evil god Tree Face Demon clan.

"Why is it called Tricky Moon Forest?" Deng Yu Xiang asks casually.

This name was told to everyone by Qin Yanzhi, and he doesn't know where it came from either.

Qin Yanzhi responds: "This place is filled with giant trees, withered branches winding and intersecting, and the forest is pitch black.

Late at night, moonlight shines through the dense, intertwined withered branches, leaving mottled shadows on the ground.

Gloomy and eerie, like a broken dream..."

Everyone looks at each other.

The world in the eyes of Dust Shadow disciples is not quite the same as that of ordinary people.

Ordinary people in the Holy Lingshan see dangerous situations and think about struggling to survive.

Qin Yanzhi is observing the world, appreciating the scenery, and feeling the atmosphere...

"Wind, frost, rain, snow, sun, moon, and stars." Qin Yanzhi gazes at the distant mountains, "Among various natural conditions, this forest is only most fitting to itself and most atmospheric under the moonlight.

Master Lu named this place Tricky Moon Forest."

Everyone: "..."

So, this name has absolutely nothing to do with the evil gods entrenched within?

But rather expresses when people should come to see the most perfect scenery?

Hmm... okay.

This is very Dust Shadow.

"Let's go, let's go see Sister Rouge Paper... cough, Rouge Paper person." Lu Ran stammers and opens a teleportation mirror.

Reaching directly in front of the withered forest.

Deng Yu Xiang smiles enigmatically and glances at Lu Ran.

Jiang Ru Yi cannot help but laugh, remembering the "love-hate entanglement" between Lu Ran and the Rouge Paper person in years past.

Qin Yanzhi walks into the mirror with the group, then quickly catches up to Lu Ran, curious: "Sect Master, you don't seem to have much hostility toward this kind of evil god?"

"I do, how could I not?" Lu Ran recalls, "When I first became a believer and participated in the fifteenth day city defense for the first time, I was snatched away by a River Realm Rouge Paper person."

"Ah?" Qin Yanzhi is astonished.

Shangguan Hongfu, Yan Shuangzi, and others are also listening secretly.

A Mist Realm believer, caught by a River Realm Rouge Paper person, and didn't die?

"That night, it was actually the Nightmare Guardian who saved me." Lu Ran looks to the front left, watching the woman's heroic back.

Deng Yu Xiang does not turn her head, but the corners of her mouth lift slightly.

Memories flood her heart.

She also never expected that she had saved a Lord of Gods and Demons.

That blade that cut through the layers of rain...

Saved her own life a few years later.

Beside them, Jiang Ru Yi is also filled with emotion.

She certainly remembers the taste of her weak self, feeling despair yet powerless.

She watched helplessly as the Rouge Paper person held Lu Ran and flew away, disappearing into the vast night rain.

Lu Ran suddenly transmits: 【When we return to the human world, I'll buy a hundred or two hundred yellow raincoats and bring them to the Holy Lingshan to wear.】

Deng Yu Xiang nods with a smile: 【Okay.】

Qin Yanzhi has always had the spirit of getting to the bottom of things, puzzled: "Then why does the Sect Master call the Rouge Paper person..."

Qin Yanzhi cannot bring himself to say the term "Sister Rouge Paper."

After all, he is human.

The Rouge Paper person is a cruel evil god.

Lu Ran arrives in front of the withered forest, looking at the dim environment within, smelling the faint scent of rotten wood:

"I am different from you all; back then on the God-Respecting Platform, no god paid any attention to me."

"Oh?" Qin Yanzhi is immediately interested.

The Dust Shadow faction doesn't just travel thousands of miles to see local customs.

Disciples of this faction are recorders who see the rise and fall of dynasties and write down major and minor events!

Qin Yanzhi loves listening to stories too much.

Especially when the protagonist of this story is the mysterious and powerful Sect Master Lu.

Lu Ran shrugs: "The first one to reach out to me was the evil god Rouge Paper person."

Qin Yanzhi opens his mouth wide.

Shangguan Hongfu, who is secretly eavesdropping, is also a bit confused!

So their own Sect Master was originally a one-in-ten-million evil god disciple?

"If it weren't for the fact that later, Lord Xianyang took pity and came to save the day, I'm afraid I would have had no connection to the path of cultivation." Lu Ran sighs deeply.

Although Qin Yanzhi doesn't take out a notebook, he is recording frantically in his heart.

But then he feels suspicious and somewhat disbelieving: "The Sect Master can summon an evil god, which shows your extraordinary talent.

Since that's the case, why didn't the first or second-class gods come to take you as a disciple?"

Qin Yanzhi is willing to believe Lu Ran.

But this doesn't make sense!

"Until now, I haven't figured it out either." Lu Ran shakes his head.

Deng Yu Xiang snorts coldly: "When we behead the gods, we can just ask them to their faces."

One sentence makes Qin Yanzhi click his tongue secretly.

Worthy of being the evil god Night Charm!

Truly ruthless!

"You don't believe it?" Lu Ran, riding the Black Fire Colt, looks down at Qin Yanzhi following on the side.

"I believe, your subordinate naturally believes." Qin Yanzhi responds hurriedly.

If only Lu Ran were present, Qin Yanzhi would dare to continue expressing doubt.

But with such a great evil god on the side, Qin Yanzhi is terrified that he might say the wrong thing and be stabbed by Lady Night Charm!

Lu Ran smiles: "Then I'll prove it to you; on the God-Respecting Platform, I summoned the evil god Rouge Paper person."

Qin Yanzhi's heart jolts.

How is he going to prove this?

"Clatter, clatter, clatter." Lu Ran squeezes the horse's belly with his legs and darts to the front of the team.

His eyes lock onto the front right; among the forest shadows, a large red figure is vaguely visible.

"Whew~" Lu Ran whistles.

In the distance, behind a withered tree, the figure wandering silently stops abruptly.

She slowly leans against the tree, revealing half of a pale face.

Lu Ran looks back at her.

After nearly two years, they meet again.

The last time they met was on the night of the college entrance exam, right?

When in the human world, every fifteenth day was like drawing a blind box, and one might encounter all kinds of evil gods.

Since entering the Holy Lingshan, if Lu Ran didn't come to the Rouge Paper clan's base camp, it would indeed be hard to see her.

"Sect Master, the Rouge Paper clan after all has the evil technique Paper Craft... eh?" Before Qin Yanzhi finishes speaking, he feels terrible.

The Rouge Paper person, who should be hunting humans and torturing prey, actually floats out at this moment!

The key is her expression!

Because the light in the Tricky Moon Forest is dim, Qin Yanzhi thinks he might have seen wrong.

On that pale and beautiful face of the Rouge Paper person, the sinister look has completely faded.

What remains is surprise and joy.

"Holy crap?" Qin Yanzhi can't help but rub his eyes.

He originally thought he had traveled through mountains and seas and was knowledgeable.

But since meeting Lu Ran, Qin Yanzhi finds that the world he knows doesn't seem to be like this.

The woman in the red wedding dress floats over slowly.

The exquisite phoenix crown rings faintly, and the red ceremonial cape flutters lightly.

Graceful and luxurious, with a thousand manners.

But her lips tremble slightly with excitement, as if she can no longer care about any modesty.

She only wants to pull the young man in the imperial robe into her arms.

The current Lu Ran has reached the second stage of the Sea Realm and already has the capital to be "bold because of high skill"!

He stands on his horse and actually reaches out his hand toward the terrifyingly beautiful Rouge Paper person.

The Rouge Paper person is even more pleasantly surprised!

Her beautiful eyes don't see anyone else at all; she flies forward lightly and throws herself into Lu Ran's arms.

"Crack!"

That is the sound of the Rouge Paper evil technique, Red Wedding Dress, shattering.

"Sizzle!"

This is the eerie sound of the Eight Desolations Blade piercing directly into the Rouge Paper person's heart, the blade entering flesh.

Lu Ran, riding on the horse, leans forward slightly, his left hand around the Rouge Paper person's waist, his right hand gripping the hilt.

The Rouge Paper person lifts her eyelids, staring blankly into Lu Ran's eyes.

Resentment, pain.

Until her face becomes ferocious!

"Whoosh~"

Lu Ran grips the hilt tightly, divine power surging on the blade, crushing her heart.

The Rouge Paper person's body stiffens completely.

Those eyes are still tightly fixed on the young man in the imperial robe.

Unwillingness.

And even more, deep reluctance...

"When I see your true self, I will definitely ask you properly why it had to be me." Lu Ran's arm around her waist tightens slightly.

"Poof~"

The beauty in his arms shatters into mist.

Just as Qin Yanzhi said before, like the mottled tree shadows in the Tricky Moon Forest, like a broken dream.

"This... this?" Qin Yanzhi is numb!

The Rouge Paper person shed her evil god colors, and the lingering resentful gaze made him imagine too much.

A deep-feeling woman wearing a wedding dress all day, waiting bitterly, finally hoping for her lover.

And the lover stabs her with a backhand?

Sect Master Lu, you are the true Wu Sheng believer!

Those people in the Pear Garden Sect are all fakes.

You are the real actor...
