Chapter 118: The Strange Yue Jianli!
The entire plaza became quiet.
All eyes were focused on that tall and straight figure.
There was fear, hatred, and excitement…
Li Ran.
This name was like a dark cloud, pressing down on everyone"s hearts, making them unable to breathe.
The Righteous Path"s people, who had been busy exchanging greetings, turned pale.
Some of them had even been beaten up by him during the Demon Slaying Conference. At this moment, both of them were trembling and terrified without end.
Meanwhile, the devil cultivators were excited.
Our ruthless people have finally arrived!
"This is the top devil?"
"So handsome!"
"Hmph! Lin Langyue"s legs must be trembling with fear?"
"Isn"t the Righteous Path arrogant? Continue chatting!"
"Are you interested in dual cultivation? I know a lot of positions."
—
The corner of Lin Langyue"s mouth twitched for a moment before a huge wave finally appeared in her calm eyes!
She recalled that terrifying nightmare.
She had been heavily injured and was on the verge of death several times, but she had managed to withstand it with a strong will.
That was to defeat Li Ran and prove herself!
She would return ten times the humiliation that day to him!
She closed her eyes and tried her best to calm down.
Now was not the time…
Yue Jianli looked at that figure, his eyes filled with joy.
"Li Ran, I"ve seen you again…”
Her footsteps moved and she couldn"t help but walk towards him. Suddenly, her entire body froze on the spot.
A woman with a graceful figure and a black veil walked to Li Ran"s side and looked at him charmingly.
It was the Joyous Unity Sect"s Qin Ruyan!
As the two of them were talking, Qin Ruyan covered her mouth and laughed. She seemed to be very close to him.
"Why would he talk and laugh with this witch? She’s from the Joyous Unity Sect…"
Yue Jianli stared blankly at the two of them, her hand on the sword trembling.
—
Qin Ruyan said softly, "Sheng Zi Li, you"re here."
Li Ran replied indifferently, "Yes, I’m here."
"The Youluo Temple is far away from here. I didn"t expect you to arrive so quickly," Qin Ruyan said.
Li Ran replied casually, "The wind was great, so the speed is faster."
He wasn"t stupid enough to expose the teleportation array.
"Hehehe, you"re really humorous." Qin Ruyan laughed softly.
“……” Li Ran was speechless.
How could he be so humorous? But what about her smile?
However, in Yue Jianli"s eyes, this scene had become a symbol of their ambiguous relationship.
—
At this moment, Bai Jiangye walked over and said, "This must be Sheng Zi Li, right? I"ve heard of you for a long time. Nice to meet you."
Li Ran was puzzled. "You are?"
Bai Jiangye replied, “The First h.e.l.l of the Death Prison, Bai Jiangye."
Li Ran raised an eyebrow.
It was him?
This fellow had some background.
There were a total of eighteen levels of Death Prison. As the level rose, the higher the status.
As for which prison you were in, it was not a show of strength or potential, but the number of people killed.
The stronger the person, the more people they killed, the higher their status. As for the method, no one cared.
And this Bai Jiangye slaughtered from the eighteenth prison to the first prison!
Stepping on the mountain of corpses, he became the sect’s chief!
He was given the nickname ‘White Killing Butcher"!
However, he usually kept a low profile and never showed himself easily. This was the first time Li Ran had seen him.
"Nice to meet you."
Li Ran nodded and said nothing more.
Bai Jiangye"s smile was brilliant, and he didn"t look like a murderer at all.
—
At this point, the key figures of the Righteous Path and Devil Dao had all arrived.
Everyone was eyeing each other like a tiger watching its prey. They were all plotting their own plans, and the atmosphere immediately became serious.
At this moment, Lin Langyue walked out.
Her clear and cold voice echoed across the square. "Everyone, I"m Lin Langyue, the head of the Tianshu Inst.i.tute. I"m sure everyone knows me."
The Righteous disciples all responded while the Devil Path revealed disdain.
Lin Langyue didn"t mind and continued, "I know that all of you are different and have no plans to work together, but things are different now.”
"The demon beasts of the Grand Myriad Mountain Range are running rampant, and a beast king will likely appear behind them. This matter doesn"t concern the Righteous Path or the Devil Path. It"s a calamity for the entire human race!
"Under the overturned nest, how can there be perfect eggs?”
"Therefore, before we determine the source of the abnormal movements, I hope that everyone can put down their prejudices and discuss the matter of fighting the demon tide together!"
These words were justified and did not lose the atmosphere of the Righteous Path.
However, the discerning person knew that these words were somewhat nonsense.
If something were to happen to the beast king, how could their Nascent Soul, Golden Core, or even Foundation Establishment possibly stop the calamity?
The exalted Emperors of the various sects had already made their move.
It was useless for them to fight here!
This abnormal movement was most likely due to the appearance of a strange treasure. It would depend on who could seize it!
Thus, no one answered.
Lin Langyue seemed to have seen through everyone"s thoughts. "If it"s a rare treasure, we"ll have to rely on our methods. I just hope that no one will stab me in the back before the matter is confirmed!"
These words reached everyone"s heart.
The Righteous Path"s people immediately responded.
"I support Fairy Lin"s words.“
"That"s right. For the sake of humans, we should temporarily put aside our prejudice."
"Seconded by the Great Heaven Sect!"
—
Lin Langyue turned her gaze to the Devil Path pract.i.tioners.
"What do you think, Devil Dao?"
The devil cultivators were also somewhat tempted, but no one spoke. Their gazes were all focused on Li Ran.
It was as if he was waiting for him to make a decision.
Li Ran sized Lin Langyue up with narrowed eyes.
This woman had changed.
Based on her previous detached personality, she would not stand out to organize the situation and say such nonsense.
And the look in her eyes… She seemed to be showing off against him?
"Interesting." Li Ran smiled. "My Youluo Temple has agreed."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Ruyan nodded. "The Joyous Unity Sect has no objections."
Yue Jianli"s mouth twitched when she saw this, and her face turned even paler.
Bai Jiangye shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "The Death Prison, too."
—
Lin Langyue nodded. "All right, since everyone has no objections, then our sects will send a representative to meet at the Autumn Moon."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Li Ran narrowed his eyes as he looked at her back.
Lin Langyue grew stronger.
It was not just a little stronger. However, he had yet to see through her exact realm.
Qin Ruyan stood beside him and said in a low voice, “She entered the Death End Grounds. That"s the forbidden area of the Tianshu Inst.i.tute. It"s said that anyone who can come out of there alive will skyrocket in cultivation."
Mn.
Li Ran nodded.
Yue Jianli happened to pa.s.s by them.
Just as Li Ran was about to say h.e.l.lo, the other party snorted and left.
“???”
Li Ran scratched his head.
What"s wrong? Who had provoked her?
