Chapter 728: Another Divine General Added

The Evil Demon · Nether Horn, in appearance, is a massive black horn, often appearing in an illusory form.

The evil arts of this clan are also incredibly underhanded!

They can strike at a target's soul, trigger corpse explosions, cause living beings to suffer mental breakdowns, incite mutual slaughter, and so on.

Among these, the most despised and terrifying ability is that the Nether Horn can detain souls!

Every time the Nether Horn sounds, the souls imprisoned within are subjected to cruel torture, tearing their hearts and lungs under the impact of the sound waves, wishing they could immediately dissipate into nothingness.

The mortal enemy of the Nether Horn clan is the Deity · War Horn.

The He Tangzhu of the Demon-Suppressing Hall, Jing Hong, is a believer in the War Horn. By comparison, her War Horn divine arts are much more straightforward.

Fortunately, the Nether Horn is an object-type evil demon with low intelligence and often appears in an illusory state, so its strengths and weaknesses are extremely obvious!

This virtualization characteristic means it is immune to physical output.

But it also means it has discarded its defense; under intense divine power fluctuations, it will vanish into smoke.

Deng Yu Xiang solved a group of Nether Horns very easily; she just gave a casual wave, and after a gust of wind, the forest was clean.

"What did you mean by that cold snort just now?"

Deng Yu Xiang raised the ancient copper coins at her wrist to detain souls for Lu Ran.

Yan Shuangzi did not respond; she also raised her Rebirth Coins, and under the guidance of the artifact fragments, she searched for the souls lingering in the world.

"Hmm?" Deng Yu Xiang looked at her close friend with a half-smile.

"I'm going to make a delivery." Yan Shuangzi's figure flashed and disappeared.

One Rebirth Coin can only absorb at most 3 souls, and there were 8 Nether Horns, so it was indeed necessary to make a trip.

"Heh." Deng Yu Xiang couldn't help but laugh.

This little girl is becoming more and more brazen; she needs to be disciplined.

Lu Xiao Lu Lu Ran really has remarkable methods.

Yan Shuangzi was shattered like that, yet he managed to piece her back together and nurse her back to health.

While she was pondering, Yan Shuangzi returned and collected two more Nether Horn souls. When the two of them returned to the cliff, they happened to see a man and a woman standing side by side.

The youth in the coir raincoat remained as low-key as ever.

Standing beside the female general, he looked exactly like a little follower.

But not long after, the female general in red silk turned around, gripped his shoulders with excitement, and looked at the youth in the coir raincoat with burning eyes.

Deng Yu Xiang nodded secretly.

It seems this ninth prodigy of Great Xia is also going to join Lu Ran's sect.

It's just that this Nüying divine sculpture is not easy to cultivate.

Deng Yu Xiang frowned slightly, secretly pondering.

Wang Longxiang was able to take the ninth spot on the Prodigy Ranking as a disciple of the third-rank deity · Nüying, so she naturally has deep roots in this path and a profound understanding of the Nüying faction.

Her personal character, combat style, and system are perfectly compatible with the Nüying faction.

From the bottom of her heart, Deng Yu Xiang wanted Wang Longxiang to follow Lu Ran in her prime.

But the Holy Spirit Qi that Lu Ran collected still needs to be used to cultivate the Lietian and Master Yu Fu divine sculptures.

If not...

Deng Yu Xiang narrowed her eyes, her thoughts racing.

Next time we encounter someone heinous, before killing them, force them to tear up their divine contract?

When a Lord Bei Feng disciple becomes a soul without an owner, will the Lord Bei Feng stone sculpture in Lu Ran's sculpture garden automatically absorb it?

Hmm... it should.

Deng Yu Xiang remembered that when they conquered the Pear Garden Sect before, they had executed a He Tangzhu of the Neutral Faction · Tiantao Hall.

Before being executed, the Tiantao He Tangzhu had already torn up his divine contract.

It looked like his soul was stained with the aura of the Wu Sheng faction, and it was taken away by the pseudo-deity · Wu Sheng stone sculpture in the sculpture garden.

"Hmm." Deng Yu Xiang pursed her lips, another plan forming.

Since that's the case, before executing criminals, force them to tear up their contracts, then bring out the Nüying stone sculpture to sign a contract with them, and then execute this person!

In this way, the soul will carry the collected Holy Spirit Qi and throw itself into the embrace of the pseudo-deity · Nüying stone sculpture!

It should work, right?

By the same logic, this method can also be used to cultivate Lietian, Master Yu Fu, and other stone sculptures.

Deng Yu Xiang raised her eyes to look at Lu Ran.

With his character, would he agree to treat the human race this way?

Those people are just demons wearing human skin; dealing with them, no matter how cruel, is not excessive.

This is what they deserve!

Deng Yu Xiang thought about how to bring this up to Lu Ran.

Fortunately, Lu Ran is not some kind of saint.

And those who achieve great things must be decisive and understand the big picture; how could he have the misplaced mercy of a woman in this matter?

"Hiss—"

"Roar!!" On the distant battlefield, the slaughter continued, and sounds of roaring could be faintly heard.

To Deng Yu Xiang's ears, it was very beautiful.

Because little Lu Ran could enjoy a gluttonous feast.

At dusk, Longxiang Valley.

It is called a "valley," but it is actually an underground cavern at the bottom of a canyon.

Being in Soul-Lock Mountain, Wang Longxiang had no choice but to lead everyone into the underground, and the underground tunnels extended in all directions, with many hidden entrances and exits.

When it comes to life and death, one certainly cannot be careless.

Lu Ran endured the buzzing vibration of the Soul-Splitting Demon stone sculpture in his mind, and under Wang Longxiang's lead, he toured the sect and also met the male Nüying disciple—Yue Yi.

Yue Yi was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a handsome appearance; just this skin alone perfectly matched Lu Ran's stereotype of the Nüying faction.

It's a pity that Yue Yi is over forty and has been stuck at the peak of the River Estuary Realm.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to make any more progress in this life.

Lu Ran also learned that there are 8 Nüying disciples in Longxiang Valley, and except for Yue Yi, they are all female.

It is quite in line with the male-to-female ratio of Nüying's disciples.

There are also over seventy weak-deity disciples in the valley, mostly believers of the Red Scarf and Industry Ox.

After Lu Ran and the others finished their tour, they were led by Wang Longxiang to a stone chamber.

There were Nüying disciples guarding outside the chamber.

Torches were burning inside the chamber, and at the stone table, Lu Ran and Deng Yu Xiang sat opposite Wang Longxiang and Yue Yi.

Lu Ran sighed and said: "You guys are truly incredible! In this kind of land, you can still raise a troop of more than 80 people."

Wang Longxiang shook her head and did not accept this praise.

In the past two years, how many more than eighty people has she seen?

Most of the people thrown in died miserably in the mountains, and only a small portion survived.

Lu Ran turned his eyes to Yue Yi: "He Tangzhu Yue is righteous! Taking root in Soul-Locking Mountain to save our fellow human compatriots."

Yue Yi cupped his hands and said: "Prodigy Lu praises me too much; thank you for your help!"

Lu Ran smiled and said instead: "It is I who should thank you for saving our Great Xia prodigies."

Wang Longxiang and Yue Yi are superior and subordinate, but their relationship in private is more like that of an elder and a junior.

Yue Yi is not only Wang Longxiang's savior but also her mentor in this realm; he led Wang Longxiang to integrate into the Holy Lingshan and taught her all the skills needed for survival.

In private, Wang Longxiang has always called Yue Yi "Uncle Yue."

For the past two years, Wang Longxiang has discussed every decision in the valley with Yue Yi.

At this moment, Wang Longxiang looked at Yue Yi and said: "Uncle Yue."

"Valley Master?" Yue Yi was a little puzzled and stopped exchanging pleasantries with Lu Ran.

Wang Longxiang said in a deep voice: "Lu Ran can give our disciples in the valley a stable living environment; he has already taken down the Wu Sheng faction · Pear Garden Sect and built an ancient city at the foot of the mountain..."

Wang Longxiang gave an account, and Yue Yi was stirred by what he heard.

Good!

A Great Xia prodigy who truly lives up to the name!

Just when he was leading Lu Ran to tour the sect, several disciples who had joined the mountain later were excitedly shouting "Prodigy Ran," as if they had seen a savior.

Now it seems, it is truly so!

Wang Longxiang said softly: "... It would be better to let the disciples go to Tiangang City to live a stable life, and let us eight Nüying disciples stay to guard Longxiang Valley and search for compatriots thrown into the mountains. In this way, the brothers can suffer less, and our mobility will be stronger."

"Hmm." Yue Yi pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Ran: "To be able to take down the Pear Garden Sect, Prodigy Lu truly has great methods!"

"He Tangzhu Yue has heard of the Pear Garden Sect?"

"I have heard of it, but I dare not approach it." Yue Yi shook his head: "Many years ago, I also went out of the mountain to investigate and encountered Asha disciples by the sea, and almost lost my life. If second-rank deity disciples are like this, how would I dare to approach the Pear Garden Sect?"

Deng Yu Xiang suddenly spoke: "Jingxian Island?"

"Yes!" Yue Yi's face darkened: "They burn, kill, and loot; it's simply unreasonable! They should have been soldiers guarding our Great Xia coastline, but after entering the Holy Lingshan, they all became..."

"They have changed for the better now." Deng Yu Xiang said suddenly.

"Ah?"

"Changed for the better?" Wang Longxiang and Yue Yi both looked over.

Deng Yu Xiang tilted her head and gestured to Lu Ran beside her: "The Jingxian faction has also been incorporated by Lu Ran."

"Oh?"

"Incorporated!" Yue Yi was clearly only at the River Estuary Realm, but he stared at Lu Ran, his eyes incomparably burning.

Yes!

The number one prodigy of Great Xia can even take down a first-rank deity sect, so how could he not take down a second-rank deity sect?

Lu Ran: "..."

He transmitted his voice in his mind: 【Sister, I only realized today that you are even better at digging than I am?】

Deng Yu Xiang didn't understand Lu Ran's slang for a moment and asked suspiciously: 【Digging?】

【Nothing.】 Lu Ran looked at the two and nodded lightly: "The Jingxian faction now also belongs to the Ran Sect, and its sect leader is a divine general under my command. I have already rectified the atmosphere of the Jingxian faction, and this faction is also taking in refugees and protecting weak-deity disciples who enter the mountain."

The plain words made Yue Yi's heart stir.

"You can rest assured if you hand the brothers in the valley over to me." Lu Ran brought the topic back: "They can live a peaceful life, and you can also lay down the burden of protection. If Longxiang insists on guarding Soul-Locking Mountain, I will also provide you with support..."

Lu Ran looked at Wang Longxiang: "I will first equip each of you Nüying disciples with a Black Fire War Horse, how about that?"

While speaking, a term popped up in Lu Ran's mind—Longxiang's Eight Riders!

Wang Longxiang was moved!

The Black Wu Wu Huo Ju clan?

The Black Fire Wall can act as a barrier, the Black Fire Ring can overturn enemies, and the Black Fire Charge is like a savage collision that can kill its way out of heavy encirclements.

The single technique of Fire-Stepping can even soar into the sky.

The most tempting evil art among them, Black Fire Burning Body, can even comprehensively enhance the rider's physical attributes!

In this Soul-Locking Mountain, if one could have a loyal Black Fire divine steed, for Nüying disciples, the survival probability and combat power would definitely soar!

Yue Yi was also surging with emotion!

He didn't know how Lu Ran could tame the evil demon · Black Wu Wu Huo Ju, but he was willing to believe in the number one prodigy of Great Xia.

"I will also send a medical team over..."

"Lu Ran." Wang Longxiang suddenly spoke.

Lu Ran stopped talking and looked at the woman's heroic and compelling face under the flickering firelight.

"Thank you." Wang Longxiang's eyes were serious, word by word.

"Hehe." Lu Ran smiled and said: "The Ran Sect I created has eight divine general seats, and now there are three seats left..."

Wang Longxiang suddenly stood up.

Lu Ran looked up and saw the female general in black armor and red silk headband kneeling on one knee, performing a solemn salute:

"Longxiang, may I occupy one seat?"

Lu Ran immediately stood up and stepped forward, supporting her arms: "Of course!"

You are not just a divine general!

In the future, you will also be a divine sculpture under my command.

The name of a prodigy can be empty, but Wang Longxiang's actions are solid!

The persistence of nearly two years, the days and nights full of blood and tears, is Wang Longxiang's most glorious resume.

You, Wang Longxiang, are more qualified than anyone else!
