Chapter 687: Bad news

The night is getting thicker.

On the sea south of Jingxian Island, a landing mirror opened quietly.

An invisible figure walked out silently, flashing several times, and he was already standing in the sky above Jingxian Island.

"Tsk tsk~"

Lu Ran looked down at the island below, only to find that his vision was still not high enough.

This is an island, but the scale is astonishing! With Jingxian Island as the center, a series of smaller islands are scattered in all directions, all occupied by this faction.

With such control area, plus the convenience of the terrain, this faction's disciples should be able to collect a lot of Holy Spirit Qi, right?

The only threat to the Jingxian faction should be the demons in the sea.

Looking at it this way, the combination of Asha faction + Yanqing faction has quite good comprehensive strength! Actually able to stand firm in the sea area.

Lu Ran flew slowly in the air, looking for a target.

"Hmm?" His eyes narrowed, and his gaze locked on a thick tree, ten meters high, on the edge of the island.

Through the gaps in the lush branches, Lu Ran saw a man on guard.

Hiding quite secretly?

Lu Ran flew down slowly, circled the tree, and observed carefully.

Just in time for a four-person team to walk over from afar, Lu Ran suppressed his temper, stood silently in the air, waiting for the patrol team to leave.

But they didn't expect that the patrol team stopped under the tree.

A woman shouted: "Change shifts."

"Rustle~"

The lush branches shook, and the man Lu Ran had been staring at for a long time carried a wooden bow and jumped off the tree.

Lu Ran: "..."

Don't go!

I've been looking for a long time... oh?

Just as Lu Ran was secretly regretting, a woman carrying a hunting bow and a precious sword at her waist walked out of the four-person

She arrived at the base of the large tree and, with practiced movements, climbed up the tree with her bare hands.

Lu Ran could not help but scratch his head.

So... do you want to come back to the Pear Garden Sect with me?

That would be fine, too.

I'm fine with anything~

The sentries and the squad had no interaction; the patrol team left quickly, leaving the woman crouching on the tree, gazing into the pitch-black sea in the distance.

Lu Ran waited patiently for a long time, and after confirming there was no one around, he extended a finger.

A thin red thread quietly emerged from his fingertip.

Lu Ran squinted slightly, and with the help of the Evil Technique · Corrupt Mind, he not only saw through the night but also took in the gaps between the lush branches.

The thin red thread inserted itself into every gap.

Lu Ran focused intently on his micro-manipulation; the Thread-Pulling Line silently probed into the tree, winding back and forth, and finally landed on the back of the woman's neck.

The Asha female disciple's body suddenly stiffened, and she was completely unable to move.

"Rustle~" The sound of branches and leaves shaking came again; it did not sound like movement caused by the sea breeze, but rather like someone had crawled inside.

"Mmph." The female disciple muffled a whimper.

"You want to die." A low voice was quietly imprinted into her ear.

Asha female disciple:!!!

Her heart was in her throat, and she dared not make another sound; before her eyes, an ancient bronze mirror quietly appeared.

"Rustle~"

The sea breeze blew, and the branches and leaves swayed.

The island remained quiet and peaceful, and the large tree stood silently, as if nothing had happened at all.

Meanwhile, in the backyard of Wu Xiao's residence in the Pear Garden Sect.

Jiang Ruyi sat on a bench, toying with the Immortal-Binding Whip, watching the woman floating out of the mirror.

With a thought, she held the red whip and flicked it forward.

"Whoosh~"

The Immortal-Binding Whip let out a terrifying sound as it broke the air, enough to make one's scalp tingle!

In the blink of an eye, the sharp red whip had already landed on the woman, binding her tightly and lifting her into mid-air.

Lu Ran had just dispersed the floor mirror, and seeing this scene, he could not help but shrink his neck.

Good heavens~

She's trapping herself!

I shouldn't have given the whip to my girlfriend; I should have given it to the Great Nightmare... uh, that won't work either, that big girl is even more terrifying.

If the whip were given to her, I would be better off.

How is Young Master Deng supposed to survive?

Lu Ran was just letting his imagination run wild when he suddenly chuckled.

Inside the pavilion, the Dharma Protector Cong Long had originally been sitting in front of the stone table, but now he was standing properly alongside Qin Yanzhi.

"You... you lords, spare my life..." the Asha female disciple said with a trembling voice.

As Lu Ran dispersed the Thread-Pulling Line, the captive was naturally able to speak, and could even struggle violently, but this captive was very sensible and did not do so.

Jiang Ruyi looked at the woman and got straight to the point: "What is the strength realm of the Island Master of Jingxian Island?"

"Peak Sea Realm!" the female disciple replied hurriedly, also realizing that this group of people was targeting Feng Zhihuan.

Let alone outsiders, even her own people coveted Feng Zhihuan!

There was no help for it; Island Master Feng had far too many treasures.

Even one item that leaked through her fingers was enough to make an ordinary disciple's combat power soar!

However, Island Master Feng would never bestow treasures upon others.

Even her third husband could not get a share, and under the pressure of Island Master Feng's powerful strength, he had to do his utmost to please her, bowing his head and declaring himself a subject all day long.

"What divine weapons and artifacts does your Island Master have, and what are their specific effects? Tell me one by one," Jiang Ruyi asked.

"O-okay! Our Island Master has a Tier 2 divine weapon bow, named Golden Crow Weeping Blood..."

"Is it really that grand?" Lu Ran truly could not hold back.

Feng Zhihuan really dares to name her divine weapons and artifacts, doesn't she?

First the Phoenix Ceremonial Nine Heavens Robe, then the Golden Crow Weeping Blood Bow...

"Mm-hmm." The captive explained the divine weapon domain and added, "This bow was snatched by the Island Master from someone else's hands, and she changed the name later.

Based on the effects of the divine weapon domain, the Island Master compared the giant golden arrows suspended in the sky to the Sun God Bird, and the golden rain of arrows falling down to the Golden Crow weeping and shedding blood and tears."

Lu Ran let out a cold snort.

"My lord, the output of this divine weapon domain is particularly terrifying, the coverage area is very wide, and the golden rain of arrows is dense! Island Master Feng is in the midst of the golden rain of arrows and will not be harmed in the slightest, while everything else will be destroyed."

No one thought the captive was bragging.

The power of the divine weapon domain was something the world had witnessed with their own eyes.

However, the Asha female disciple changed the subject: "My lord! I have a piece of intelligence here that can help you!"

"Oh?" Lu Ran looked up.

The captive nodded repeatedly, adding bargaining chips for her own survival: "It can even make the divine weapon · Golden Crow Weeping Blood Bow turn against her and kill Island Master Feng!"

Lady Jiang said coldly: "Do you think you have the capital to bargain?"

"I dare not! I dare not!" The Asha female disciple hurriedly spilled all the intelligence: "The Golden Crow Weeping Blood Bow had an excellent relationship with its original owner! Ever since the original owner was killed, the bow spirit has sealed itself off and does not communicate with the outside world."

"But its original owner still had a wife, who was caught by Island Master Feng and thrown into the dungeon beneath the island."

"Island Master Feng used the life of the original owner's wife as a threat! Forcing the Golden Crow Bow to submit; if it refused, she would kill the original owner's wife."

"The Golden Crow Weeping Blood Bow had no choice but to be forced to recognize a new master and work for Island Master Feng!"

Jiang Ruyi nodded slightly.

This bow is indeed loyal and righteous.

The biggest difference between divine weapons and artifacts is the casting condition.

Under normal circumstances, artifacts can cast spells autonomously; for example, the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd and the Black Jade Tiger Talisman do not need to join forces with Lu Ran.

As mature artifacts, they move on their own.

Divine weapons are different!

No matter how mature a divine weapon is, if it wants to unleash a terrifying divine weapon domain, it must join forces with its master to cast the spell.

This also led to the fact that if Feng Zhihuan wanted to unleash the divine weapon domain, she had to make the Golden Crow Weeping Blood Bow recognize her as its master, and the two sides needed to be mentally connected.

"How can it turn against her?" Jiang Ruyi asked.

"The Golden Crow Weeping Blood Bow doesn't know that its original owner's wife died several months ago! It's still foolishly working for Island Master Feng!"

"Dead." Lu Ran was thoughtful.

If this bombshell were dropped, the Golden Crow Weeping Blood Bow would indeed turn against her.

"She died a long time ago!" The Asha female disciple nodded repeatedly. "That woman was forced to tear up the contract and was imprisoned in a dark dungeon all day long, tortured until she was no longer recognizable.

It is said that she twisted her own neck with her own hands."

Truly a tragic story.

Yet in this filthy Holy Lingshan, it seemed quite commonplace.

It is enough to show how sick and twisted this world is.

Fish Changsheng, who had been quiet all along, spoke up: "Whether she is dead or not is no longer important. Since Feng Zhihuan and the Golden Crow Bow are in such a cooperative state, then she deserves to be used.

As long as the Sect Master provides this news on the battlefield, even if it is fake news, the Golden Crow Weeping Blood Bow will go crazy."

Lu Ran shook his head, rarely disagreeing with Mr. Cong Long's words: "Lord Luo still needs to use this bow."

If you don't have to lie, try not to.

To avoid future troubles.

Fish Changsheng hesitated for a moment, but still did not want to lose face for his Sect Master in front of outsiders.

He thought of more.

Helping the Golden Crow Weeping Blood Bow kill Feng Zhihuan is undoubtedly avenging a deep blood feud! Since this bow is so loyal and righteous, it will naturally repay this great kindness.

Moreover, if the original owner's wife is not dead, that would be even better!

The Ran Sect has the Sect Master and Divine General Qin, and even Master Lu; wouldn't rescuing someone from a dungeon be a piece of cake?

Even if the Golden Crow Weeping Blood Bow realizes it has been deceived, as long as it sees the original owner's wife being brought back to the Ran Sect and well-cared for, this bow will surely be moved to tears.

Fish Changsheng pondered for a moment and asked: "What are the names of the original owner and his wife? Also, how exactly did the original owner's wife die, on what day, the state of her death, etc., be more detailed."

Asha female disciple: "The original owner's name is Jin Luyang..."

"What is his name?" Lu Ran's eyes widened slightly, and he blurted out.

The captive was so frightened that she shuddered and said tremblingly: "Jin... Jin Luyang, that's correct."

Lu Ran: "What does Jin Luyang look like? Height, age!"

"My lord, I have never seen him in person; it is said that he was very young, only in his early twenties... My lord, do you know him too? He seems to be very famous, but I don't know; Island Master Feng strictly forbade people from talking about this person."

Fish Changsheng's heart sank.

This person is very famous, and someone knows him!

And he was so young when he was thrown into the Holy Lingshan by the gods, and he even personally cultivated a Tier 2 divine weapon...

All kinds of information are enough to draw a conclusion—a Great Xia prodigy!

Sure enough, Jiang Ruyi sighed softly and whispered: "Asha believer · Jin Luyang, Qiongya University.

Great Xia Prodigy Ranking... Seventh place."
