Chapter 693: Lu Sect Mistress

Lu Ran shared his joy, telling her about the Heavenly Realm Wu Sheng divine technique.

Only, as he spoke, his voice grew lower and lower.

Jiang Xianzi listened silently, massaging his head gently all the while: "Why did you stop?"

"I was too excited," Lu Ran said embarrassedly.

"You haven't been this happy in a long time; there's no need to suppress yourself." Clearly a cold fairy, her tone was as gentle as her fingertips.

Lu Ran sat up, turned to look at his girlfriend, and asked with concern: "What about the Phoenix Ceremonial Nine Heavens Robe? Have you subdued it?"

"The progress is not bad; we've reached some consensus." Jiang Ruyi flexed her fingers.

The Phoenix Ceremonial Nine Heavens Robe was a Tier 2 divine artifact that considered itself noble and was indeed very powerful.

It wanted a female emperor-type figure, a ruler who stood above all living beings.

Ordinary people...

... were not worthy of wearing a phoenix robe that commanded the world.

In terms of strength and realm, Jiang Ruyi was indeed inferior to Feng Zhihuan, but in other aspects, Feng Zhihuan wasn't even worthy of tying Jiang Ruyi's shoes.

Jiang Ruyi was the true Pseudo-Divine Jade Talisman!

Just this point alone made her and Feng Zhihuan worlds apart!

Jiang Ruyi was also the Lu Sect Mistress.

Cloud Sea Cliff, Pear Garden Sect, and even Jingxian Island in the future would all be under the control of the Lu Sect.

Over the past few days, the Phoenix Ceremonial Nine Heavens Robe had witnessed what kind of leader Jiang Ruyi was.

So what if one was at the peak of the Sea Realm?

So what if one was a first or second-class divine disciple?

Those powerful and high-ranking people were all respectful and submissive in front of Jiang Ruyi.

This series of situations made it impossible for the Phoenix Ceremonial Nine Heavens Robe not to recognize its new master.

"Why aren't you wearing it?" Lu Ran asked curiously.

"I wanted to come see you, so I had the Shadow Guard team help carry it."

"Heh." Lu Ran gave a cold laugh. "The Phoenix Ceremonial Nine Heavens Robe has been following Feng Zhihuan; it should be very used to this kind of killing and looting operation, right?"

"Don't be angry with it; I will tame it well." Jiang Ruyi patted Lu Ran's arm and added, "By the way, you might not know, but besides being able to burn people's souls, the Phoenix Ceremonial Nine Heavens Robe has a second function."

"A second function?"

"Knowing truth from falsehood, distinguishing loyalty from treachery."

"Ah?" Lu Ran blinked.

Jiang Ruyi smiled: "The Phoenix Robe says that human mouths can say anything, but people's souls cannot lie.

When it burns people's souls, it can know whether this person is sincere or fake.

Whether they have a heart of rebellion or are truly submissive."

Lu Ran was shocked!

Is it that powerful?

Immediately, he thought of something else and hurriedly said: "I'm telling you, the Phoenix Ceremonial Nine Heavens Robe might have an opinion about me! If it says I'm bad here or wrong there, you must not believe it!"

"Hehe~" Jiang Ruyi laughed dumbly.

Looking at Lu Ran's nervous little appearance, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch Lu Ran's face with her slender fingers:

"If the Phoenix Robe dares to say you are even half-bad, I will tear it apart with my own hands."

Lu Ran: "..."

There was no need to be so extreme.

A severe punishment to correct it would be enough.

After all, the function of this artifact was truly a bit powerful!

Jiang Ruyi was as intelligent as ice and snow; she didn't need the artifact's help at all, as she could know what he was thinking just by looking at Lu Ran's expression.

She explained: "Since it is our artifact, it must be completely loyal to you and me; how can we tolerate it having ulterior motives or playing tricks?"

"Fine." Lu Ran turned his head; since he had already handed the phoenix robe to her, he didn't intend to get too involved.

Turning his head, Lu Ran noticed that the Jinlü Bow had been placed on the square table not far away.

Motionless, like an ordinary object.

Jiang Ruyi looked over and watched the Jinlü Bow waiting quietly in the moonlight: "It should recognize you; after you returned to the room to rest, it followed you in by itself.

For the past few days, I've been wanting to talk to it, but I can't wake it up. You should be able to."

Lu Ran hesitated for a moment and called out tentatively: "Jinlü?"

The golden bow indeed floated up and flew slowly toward the bed.

Lu Ran sighed in his heart, reached out to hold the hunting bow, and for a moment, didn't know what to say.

The Jinlü Bow was also silent, staying quietly in Lu Ran's hand.

Jiang Ruyi saw Lu Ran's embarrassment and said to the golden bow: "In a few days, we will head south to capture Jingxian Island, liberate the slaves there, and reorganize the order of Jingxian Island.

I have never met Jin Luyang, but I believe that such an island and such a sect are what the Prodigy Jin would want to see."

Lu Ran suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Ruyi.

Jiang Ruyi showed a look of inquiry.

Lu Ran said softly: "The Jinlü Bow says, thank you."

Jiang Ruyi was about to say something when she heard Lu Ran add: "It says its divine weapon domain is not called Golden Crow Weeping Blood."

"Then what is it called?"

"Jinlü Heavenly Punishment."

Jiang Ruyi sat leaning against the head of the bed, her long, beautiful legs crossed together, pondering the origin of the name.

The name of this divine weapon domain was quite easy to understand.

Lu Ran continued to translate: "Jin Luyang compared the giant golden arrow hanging high in the sky to the laws of heaven. He compared the golden rain of arrows falling down to a trial, punishing the sins of the world.

Hence the name, Jinlü Heavenly Punishment."

"Prodigy Jin chose a good name." Jiang Ruyi nodded gently.

Lu Ran looked at the golden bow in his hand and said: "I am not good at using bows and arrows. I will find you a qualified judge. After we arrive at Jingxian Island..."

"Hum!!"

Before Lu Ran could finish speaking, the Jinlü Bow trembled violently.

Clearly, the Jinlü Bow had great resistance.

Great Xia prodigies all had their own pride, and the divine weapons in the hands of prodigies were, of course, the same!

In this world, the people who could be recognized by the Jinlü Bow were definitely few and far between.

Lu Ran was naturally one of them.

"Alright." Lu Ran's fingers stroked the bow arm. "I don't have the relevant archery skills to support it; I'm not even qualified to cultivate a Tier 1 divine weapon bow.

I am a pure swordsman, having studied this path since childhood.

In the eyes of a true martial artist, I am not a person, but a blade, and only a blade."

The youth's gentle words made the violently reacting Jinlü Bow gradually settle down.

Lu Ran continued to soothe it: "Don't worry, Jinlü! The person I find for you will be a skilled archer and someone who shares my aspirations."

Jiang Ruyi spoke at the right time: "She will be the Pseudo-Divine Asha, and in the future, she might be the real Asha. Whether now or in the future, she is a loyal soldier under Lu Ran.

She is the executor of Lu Ran's will.

Your divine weapon domain, Jinlü Heavenly Punishment, will one day, under Lu Ran's instruction and in her hands, be used on a true trial ground."

Lu Ran turned to look at the Jiang Xianzi.

Jiang Ruyi looked back at him without changing her expression, not feeling that she had said anything wrong.

She was not someone who spoke wildly; it was just a special situation that required special treatment.

The Jinlü Bow was a Tier 2 divine weapon!

Which divine weapon that possessed a domain wasn't world-destroying?

Not to mention that the Jinlü Bow was once the exclusive weapon of the seventh prodigy of Great Xia.

To relieve Lu Ran's worries and to allow General Luo to use this divine weapon smoothly, Jiang Ruyi had deliberately said some arrogant words.

"Hmm... alright." Lu Ran's expression was strange as he raised the divine weapon. "Go rest."

The Jinlü Bow flew toward the square table not far away.

Jiang Ruyi: "It seems it has agreed to your arrangement."

Lu Ran scratched his head: "I suppose so; it still has to personally vet her."

Although he said that, Lu Ran had absolute confidence in General Luo!

Jiang Ruyi didn't continue this topic; she straightened the pillow and asked casually: "Are you sleepy?"

Lu Ran's gaze fell on her crossed long legs.

She originally had skin like ice and jade; under the pouring moonlight, those long, beautiful legs were as white and alluring as mutton-fat jade.

Looking down, those beautiful feet and the wonderful arc of the instep were like beautiful crescent moons fallen from the sky into the human world.

Lu Ran pursed his lips.

While secretly moved, he suddenly realized that the Jinlü Bow was still on the wooden table not far away.

Although it was just a weapon, but... forget it.

I won't act like a decadent ruler tonight.

Lu Ran collapsed onto the bed as if deflated.

Jiang Ruyi didn't know what was wrong with Lu Ran; why did he suddenly seem a bit unhappy?

She picked up a corner of the quilt and covered Lu Ran with it.

The exquisite silk quilt from the human world was naturally something Lu Ran and the others had brought back specifically when they last returned to the mountain.

At this time, the daily necessities in the main bedroom had been completely renewed, and presumably, General Qin's help was indispensable.

After all, apart from Lu Ran, only Qin Yanzhi could travel quickly between the Pear Garden Sect and Cloud Sea Cliff to help transport items.

"Have you been busy lately?" Lu Ran pulled the Jiang Xianzi into his arms, smelling her faint hair fragrance.

"It's alright." Jiang Ruyi buried her head in Lu Ran's arms and closed her eyes with peace of mind. "The main hall on the main peak has been rebuilt; tomorrow, you can hold a meeting there."

"So fast?"

"You've been in a coma for six days and five nights."

"Fine." Lu Ran curled his lips. "Tomorrow morning, I will sign contracts with the Martial Heavenly Emperor, General Luo, and the others."

"General Luo has returned to Cloud Sea Cliff," Jiang Ruyi explained. "Xuanshuang is currently ascending to the Sea Realm."

She had just been having a meeting in the back garden to arrange for the Divine Generals to return to their posts.

"Ah?" Lu Ran was quite pleasantly surprised and immediately said, "Let's go, let's return to the cliff and escort her."

Jiang Ruyi advised: "Lu Ran, you didn't sleep for six days and five nights; you were being tortured the whole time. You really need to rest."

"Actually, I'm alright..." Lu Ran muttered in a low voice.

A Sea Realm body is really especially resilient!

"It won't make a difference if we wait until tomorrow night." Jiang Ruyi changed the subject. "In the Pear Garden Sect, there are a total of 252 weak divine disciples from various sects; I have already asked them to tear up their divine contracts.

Tomorrow morning, you can take them under your sect, and after binding the stone sculptures for the Martial Heavenly Emperor, we will return to the cliff."

"Hmm..."

Jiang Ruyi added: "I didn't let the 150-plus Wu Sheng disciples in the sect tear up their contracts for the time being.

Although I don't know how many Wu Sheng disciples there are in the Holy Spirit Mountain, there are over 400 in the Pear Garden Sect; if they all disappeared at once, it would feel a bit eye-catching, right?"

"Good, listen to you; let's take it slow."

Although Lord Immortal Sheep had repeatedly indicated that Lu Ran could let go and do it, he also supported Jiang Ruyi's decision.

Lu Ran only felt very lucky to have such a Lu Sect Mistress.

During the days he was in a coma, she must have been very hard-working, presiding over the overall situation and managing all the big and small affairs of the sect.

"Sleep, there are many things to do tomorrow..." the Jiang Xianzi whispered, like a dream-like murmur.

"Goodnight." Lu Ran printed a light kiss on her hair.

"Hmm."
