Chapter 704

That night, Lu Ran followed He Qi Feng to her residence on Martial Extreme Peak.

It counted as getting to know the place.

The Wind Heavenly Emperor specially left an empty room for Lu Ran to facilitate his future teleportations, and then Lu Ran returned to Cloud Sea Cliff.

The mist on Martial Extreme Peak was indeed very thick, but over at Cloud Sea Cliff, the Evil Shadow Protector was also advancing.

Lu Ran naturally had to prioritize his own lair.

Advancing from the peak of the Sea Realm to the Heaven Realm takes a considerable amount of time; Alliance Leader Yun Qianzhou took nearly a month to step into the Heaven Realm.

This also gave Lu Ran plenty of preparation time.

Time flew by, and it was the tenth day of the tenth month.

The endless mist finally dissipated, and Lu Ran, who had been cultivating bitterly, finally waited for his personal Great Protector.

It was afternoon, and the sky was covered by a thick sea of clouds, making one feel very oppressed.

"Swish~"

Accompanied by faint energy fluctuations, a charming shadow appeared on the edge of the sea cliff.

Yan Shuangzi's energy was surging, the brilliance in her eyes had not yet dissipated, and those beautiful eyes locked onto the edge of the cliff, looking at that familiar back.

He was indeed here.

The charming shadow flashed again, appearing behind the young man in the imperial robe, kneeling and bowing her head: "Master."

"Sister Shuangzi is back!" There was a hint of joy in the young man's gentle voice.

A faint joy also welled up in Yan Shuangzi's heart.

She had already become accustomed to staying by his side.

Now that they had been separated for nine days, he must have missed her too.

"Chifeng." Yan Shuangzi reached out with one hand, and the treasure gourd flew up automatically, bypassed Lu Ran's side, and nestled into his arms.

"Pat~" Lu Ran patted the chubby treasure gourd.

Although the appearance of the Chifeng-patterned gourd hadn't changed, for some reason, Lu Ran always imagined the scene of little Chifeng eating until her belly was round.

"Hum~" Little Chifeng didn't speak, just kept burrowing into Lu Ran's arms.

He stroked the treasure gourd with one hand and turned his head to look behind him: "Congratulations, you're at the second stage of the Sea Realm."

"Mm." Yan Shuangzi responded in a low voice.

Since binding with the Evil Shape, she no longer had a talent ceiling.

Since following Lu Ran, her Dao heart no longer had moments of confusion.

The advancement that others longed for was, for her, just a matter of course.

"Clang! Clang!"

The divine weapons patrolling the cliff flew back one by one. As their master flicked her robe, the blades automatically sheathed, making a clanging sound.

Lu Ran grasped the Silent Night Blade that returned last, reached toward Yan Shuangzi, and used the tip of the blade to press against her chin, lifting it slightly.

Yan Shuangzi: "."

Everything was as Lu Ran had expected; he saw a pair of brilliant eyes.

The more he looked, the happier he became.

Protector is really becoming more and more decent!

Not only is she at the second stage of the Sea Realm, but she has also shed the gloom of the past, like a pearl wiped clean of dust, dazzling and brilliant.

Yan Shuangzi lowered her eyes silently, but the originally stiff lines of her face softened slightly.

"Really good." Lu Ran sheathed his blade with satisfaction. "Let's go, accompany me to find Elder Lu for a chat."

As his voice fell, his figure flashed and disappeared.

Before leaving, Yan Shuangzi turned her head to look at the mountain forest behind her: "Everyone go back and rest."

In the lush mountain forest, there was no movement, as if no one had ever existed.

When Yan Shuangzi arrived, she saw Lu Ran standing outside Lu Yuan's small courtyard, calling out loudly: "Is Elder Lu home?"

Before long, an old man in a gray robe walked out of the room, still holding a brush in his hand: "Sect Master, please."

Only then did Lu Ran walk into the courtyard: "Elder Lu is writing?"

Lu Yuan smiled: "The mist just dissipated, and this old man's hands were itching."

"Oh, then I'll be quick, I won't delay Elder Lu's practice." Lu Ran stopped in his tracks immediately.

Lu Yuan asked suspiciously: "What does the Sect Master want with this old man?"

"It's like this, the Peak Master of Martial Extreme Peak is currently advancing, and it's estimated that in about twenty days, he will be able to ascend to the Heaven Realm..."

As Lu Ran recounted the story, Lu Yuan's expression became grim.

As a Heaven Realm Dust Shadow disciple, one can indeed do whatever one wants on this Holy Spirit Mountain.

But Heaven Realm Wu Seng disciples are definitely not people to be trifled with!

The powerful output of the Wu Seng faction is obvious to all; once Peak Master Tu comes out of seclusion, he will inevitably be an existence that can kill everything in seconds!

If Lu Yuan is not careful, he will also end up dead.

Lu Ran observed Lu Yuan's expression carefully and probed: "Elder Lu is in a difficult position?"

"Not difficult!" Lu Yuan shook his head immediately. "Since the Sect Master has ordered it, this old man will definitely do his best."

Lu Ran said seriously: "If Elder Lu has any concerns, you must say them."

"Mm." Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and still stated his considerations.

Lu Ran thought for a moment and said: "The Wu Seng faction is indeed powerful, but its mobility is slightly lacking. Although I find it difficult to contend with him, I can use teleportation to maneuver around him for a while.

On the day Peak Master Tu comes out of seclusion, I will first put Elder Lu into the Chifeng-patterned gourd and let you hide in the dark."

Lu Ran paused and continued: "If there is really a need, I will find an opportunity to release you and open the Other Shore Flower when Peak Master Tu activates his Golden Body and cannot move.

If there is no need, then I'll trouble Elder Lu to stay in my gourd for a while; it'll give me peace of mind."

Looking at the calm and analytical young Sect Master, Lu Yuan couldn't help but nod secretly.

To be able to come up with such a plan in just over ten seconds is truly rare.

He immediately said in a deep voice: "This old man thanks the Sect Master for his consideration!"

Lu Yuan did not deny that he was becoming more and more afraid of death.

After Lu Ran brought back the news of his wife and daughter, he was no longer that old bone waiting to die!

He hoped that one day he could return to the human world and reunite with his family.

Once a person has expectations, they also have concerns.

"It was I who came to ask Elder Lu for help." Lu Ran waved his hand. "Then I won't disturb Senior Lu anymore; don't leave Cloud Sea Cliff in the near future."

"Sect Master, come inside and sit for a while, this old man..."

"No, no." Lu Ran pointed to his temple. "Someone is calling me; it's been a long time."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Then this old man won't keep the Sect Master."

The young man in front of him is a god.

A god who can respond after people worship and pray.

Lu Ran walked out of the courtyard, explored his spiritual world, and couldn't help but feel curious.

Why is she looking for him?

Lu Ran was mentally connected to the Asha God Statue and asked suspiciously: 【General Luo?】

【Sect Master, are you on the cliff?】

【Just about to return to Cloud Sea Residence, what's wrong?】

【Then I'll wait for you at Cloud Sea Residence...】 Before Xiang Luoying finished her transmission, Lu Ran had already teleported into the small courtyard of Cloud Sea Residence.

"Sect Master!" Xiang Luoying held the Golden Law Bow in one hand and knelt on one knee.

"General Luo, what is the matter?" Lu Ran was even more curious and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

Xiang Luoying looked apologetic: "Sect Master, when do you plan to capture String-String Island?"

Lu Ran understood in his heart and looked at the golden hunting bow in her hand: "It can't wait?"

Yan Shuangzi's advancement had obviously suppressed many things; now that Cloud Sea Cliff had returned to peace, the Golden Law Bow was probably unable to sit still.

Xiang Luoying felt a little ashamed and nodded slightly.

As the master of the divine weapon, she should have controlled this weapon well.

However, the Golden Law Bow was too eager, and Xiang Luoying couldn't keep suppressing it; continuing like this would be very detrimental to the harmony between the weapon and its master.

Xiang Luoying said softly: "The Golden Law Bow really wants to judge the String-String faction."

"Judge..."

Xiang Luoying immediately responded: "The Golden Law Bow has stayed on the island long enough and has come into contact with enough Asha disciples and Yanqing disciples; it has a very clear target!"

Does it have a target?

Lu Ran's gaze fixed on the Golden Law Bow for a moment; this was something he hadn't expected.

Now that the Pear Garden matter is over, and the Jade-Faced Snake Evil Shape has reached the third stage of the Sea Realm, he doesn't need to go to the Glazed Realm anymore. Peak Master Tu of Martial Extreme Peak will need at least half a month before he can come out of seclusion.

Taking advantage of this time, it wouldn't be a bad idea for the Ran Sect to take a day or two to take down the String-String Island faction.

Thinking about this, Lu Ran said: "We have been working without rest for many days; we should have a good rest..."

Xiang Luoying's heart sank.

However, Lu Ran continued: "In these two days, I will take you to conquer String-String Island; what does General Luo think?"

Xiang Luoying didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The Sect Master is truly extreme; he is indeed a person who gets things done! The so-called "good rest" really just meant sleeping...

"Hum!!" The Golden Law Bow vibrated violently.

Xiang Luoying immediately said: "Thank you, Sect Master, for fulfilling this!"

Lu Ran said with a smile: "In the future, you and your husband, Xun, will jointly lead the String-String Island faction, echoing and developing in tandem with the Wind Heavenly Emperor's Pear Garden Sect; how about that?"

Xiang Luoying was a little surprised.

The Sect Master wants to send her out, like Wu Xiao, to serve as the leader of a sect?

"Does General Luo have any other considerations?" Lu Ran immediately thought of her two children.

When the sect is not stable, it is indeed inappropriate to take children to live on the island.

Xiang Luoying came back to her senses and responded crisply: "As you command!"

Lu Ran looked at the young mother and had some thoughts in his heart, saying for now: "Mm, you go back first and get some rest."

"Yes." Xiang Luoying took the order and left.

Lu Ran looked at General Luo's back for a long time before turning to look behind him.

I don't know when, but Fairy Jiang was already standing at the door of the house, looking at him quietly.

"Long time no see!" Lu Ran said with a smile.

The two of them were both on Cloud Sea Cliff, but in the past nine days, the cliff was filled with thick fog, and people couldn't see each other at all.

Lu Ran had been cultivating and guarding the edge of the cliff, so the two sides hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Jiang Ruyi gave Lu Ran a light look, and the tail of her phoenix robe suddenly moved without wind.

Lu Ran didn't understand why.

Jiang Ruyi raised her hands, indicating the noble phoenix robe on her body: "I will lend this Phoenix Ceremony Nine Heavens Robe to General Luo temporarily; when the disciples of String-String Island see her, they will all bow down, right?"

Lu Ran couldn't help but blink.

Eh? You really shouldn't say that!

Xiang Luoying is also an incomparably powerful Asha disciple!

She is holding Feng Zhihuan's Golden Crow Crying Blood Bow (Golden Law Bow) and wearing Feng Zhihuan's Phoenix Ceremony Nine Heavens Robe...

Then borrow the divine weapons of Leng Xuanshuang and Tian Tian, and equip General Luo with all of them!

In this way, the disciples of String-String Island will be very confused, right?

Island Master Feng, who has been missing for more than half a month, has finally returned to the sect!

Mm, it's just that she has a different face...
