Chapter 895: Lan Shou~

Everyone on Heaven-Reaching Road fell silent.

He is the unparalleled genius of their Heaven-Reaching Road, backed by the Lan family, his future limitless—others always kneel to him; when has he ever had to kneel to anyone else?

Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to Ye Qingran, still wondering when the Xuanmiao Continent produced such a figure who completely overwhelms Lan Ling Wang in every aspect.

"Is that it? Aren't you going to apologize?"

Lan Ling Wang gritted his teeth, "Ye Qingran, don't go too far! What have I done wrong that I need to apologize to you?"

Ye Qingran smirked, "A defeated subordinate, what right do you have to bargain with me? I tell you to apologize, so just apologize!"

"Besides, you just kept insulting me and my family—do you think you need to apologize?"

"I..."

Lan Ling Wang was actually lost for words.

Ye Qingran's sword had already advanced a foot forward, the tip nearly touching the back of Lan Ling Wang's head—any movement would draw blood.

Lan Ling Wang's scalp went numb.

He inwardly objected ten thousand times to apologizing, but the circumstances forced him.

"Forget it, a true man can bend and stretch; today I will turn danger into safety, and someday I will repay this debt with blood!"

Lan Ling Wang perfectly convinced himself.

Then, the people of Heaven-Reaching Road saw the scene of Lan Ling Wang kowtowing to apologize to Ye Qingran.

How could Ye Qingran not know what Lan Ling Wang was thinking?

But so what?

A mere Lan family—she didn't even put them in her eyes!

"Insolent brat, how dare you be so arrogant!"

Suddenly, an ancient voice came from the horizon, extremely imposing; hearing it alone gave the aura of an unparalleled expert.

The voice was like thunder entering the ears, making everyone startle.

Before seeing the person, one first heard the voice.

While others were still guessing who the newcomer was, a glint appeared in the eyes of the Lan family members, especially Lan Chuzhuang, whose expression could not help but be excited.

"The Ancestor has returned!"

Yes, the owner of that voice is one of their Lan family's Ancestors, who is 250 years old!

He usually resides in Xuyu, and unless the Lan family encounters a major event, he does not easily return to Heaven-Reaching Road.

This Ancestor is quite renowned even in Xuyu, and it is precisely because of his existence that the Lan family can stand firm on Heaven-Reaching Road for many years without falling.

Hualo looked toward where the voice came from, blinking his eyes.

Soon, a figure appeared in everyone's view.

Seeing this person, he had white beard and hair, wore a gray Daoist robe, long eyebrows hanging down, crane-haired youthful visage, resembling a legendary hermit.

"Lan Chuzhuang leads all the juniors of the Lan family in greeting the Ancestor!"

Lan Chuzhuang knelt down at once, his tone extremely respectful. Upon hearing this, the Lan family members rushed to kneel, lowering their heads, fearing to displease the Ancestor.

Upon hearing that the Lan family's Ancestor had returned, everyone's expression was extremely shocked.

Who on Heaven-Reaching Road doesn't know the Lan family's Ancestor?

One could say that this Ancestor of the Lan family is the highest-achieving person on Heaven-Reaching Road in the past several hundred years, already having secured a foothold in Xuyu, his strength terrifying, his fame far-reaching, making him the goal countless youths of Heaven-Reaching Road strive for.

The Lan family's Ancestor landed.

His aura was restrained all over, yet a single glance could make one's soul tremble.

"Hualo Divine Envoy." Even seeing Hualo who came from the Xuyu Divine Palace, the Lan family Ancestor merely gave a slight nod.

Hualo returned the nod, though a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"Who is this?"

It's obvious Hualo does not know this Lan family Ancestor.

"Who are you?"

As soon as this question was asked, the Lan family Ancestor's expression froze.

Although he is not a person of the Shen Domain, he has gotten by fairly well in the Spirit Domain, yet the Divine Palace's Divine Envoy doesn't recognize him!

"I am Lan Shou, Elder of the Spirit Domain's White Horse Temple."

"Oh!"

Hualo suddenly understood.

"So it's the Elder of the White Horse Temple! My apologies, my apologies! I know the White Horse Temple—it's one of the Spirit Domain's Ten Great Temples!"

Upon hearing Hualo say that the White Horse Temple is one of the Spirit Domain's Ten Great Temples, everyone looked up to Lan Shou, thinking him truly impressive—being able to become the Elder of the White Horse Temple, one of the Ten Great Temples within one of the Xuyu Five Great Domains.

"However, as far as I know, the White Horse Temple ranks tenth among the Ten Great Temples—is that correct?"

Lan Shou's expression stiffened again.

Was Hualo doing this on purpose?

Hualo is truly innocent; he really didn't mean to—he's just a conversation killer!

"Yes..."

Lan Shou had no choice but to admit it.

Although the White Horse Temple is one of the Spirit Domain's Ten Great Temples, it is indeed ranked tenth.

Everyone's expressions gradually became subtle.

Tenth?

That's basically the bottom, right?

Ye Qingran burst out laughing, puffing—really, Hualo is such a sly one!

"What are you laughing at?" Lan Shou's face sank.

Everyone saw the Lan family elder ancestor get angry, and they were all terrified.

They thought, with the Lan family elder ancestor returning now, Ye Qingran and the others were surely doomed. After all, the Lan family elder ancestor is notorious for protecting his own; once he learns that Old Ling King was bullied, he will surely explode in anger.

"Ancestor! Ancestor, quickly help me get revenge!"

Lan Ling Wang saw Lan Shou return, as if seeing hope, and shouted loudly.

Lan Shou froze. "Who are you?"

It's no wonder Lan Shou didn't recognize him—Lan Ling Wang's nose is bruised and face swollen, no longer looking human.

"I am Lan Ling Wang, Ancestor!"

"Lan Ling Wang?!"

Lan Shou widened his eyes, obviously not expecting Lan Ling Wang to have fallen so low.

"Was it you who did this?"

Lan Shou pointed at Lan Ling Wang and questioned Ye Qingran and Fu Hanxiu.

"What if it is? What if it isn't?"

"You're bullying my Lan family's descendants—are you asking for death?"

Lan Shou's aura sank.

"Doesn't the Lan family elder ancestor even ask about the circumstances?"

"What's there to ask? You're on my home turf, bullying my Lan family's descendants—that's the biggest mistake!"

Ye Qingran slowly nodded.

As the saying goes, "If the beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked." No wonder the Lan family's members all have twisted values—it's because they have such an unreasonable elder ancestor!

"What are you planning to do?"

"Seize him and hand him over for him to deal with!" Lan Shou pointed at Lan Ling Wang, and Lan Ling Wang's face lit up.

A cold light flickered in his eyes as he already thought about how to abuse Ye Qingran and Fu Hanxiu.

Lan Chuzhuang instinctively glanced at Hua Luo, was seen by Lan Shou, but didn't think much of it.

He is not Lan Chuzhuang, and is not at all afraid of Hua Luo.

Although Hua Luo is a member of the Divine Palace, his status is not high—he merely bears the Divine Palace's halo. Besides, he has inquired, and this time he came to Xuanmiao Continent to seek the Ruinous King's Sword, so he won't get involved in Lan family affairs.

"Come, seize them!"

Lan Shou ordered.

If not necessary, he would not act readily.

Normally, with him holding down the scene, no one would dare play petty tricks in front of him.

However, the Lan family members who tried to seize Ye Qingran and Fu Hanxiu were all kicked away by them.

Lan Shou narrowed his eyes. "I advise you to behave; otherwise, when I make a move, you'll regret it."

"All that nonsense? Bring it on!"

Everyone: "......"

Crazy!

This is the Lan family's elder ancestor!

How dare Ye Qingran speak to him like that?

Lan Shou is obviously angered by success. He hasn't been treated like this in many years, especially since the other party is a young person from Xuanmiao Continent.

Seeking death!

"If that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lan Shou made a move!

Meanwhile, Ye Qingran felt something was off, because the Ruinous Sword in the Shen Nong Space suddenly went out of control and tried to emerge.
