Chapter 219: Ancestor Huanxi? Idiot!
The restaurant was quiet.
Although it was already late at night, it wasn"t that quiet. It was as if everyone had suddenly fallen asleep.
Li Ran sat on a chair and looked at the burly man in front of him.
Patriarch Huanxi.
He looked unexpectedly young.
He had a tough face, thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a gentle smile in his eyes. No matter how one looked at it, he was a gentle and cultured scholar.
However, Li Ran knew that this was all an illusion.
For the sake of keeping his face unchanged, he would abduct 10 young women every month and forcefully suck them into corpses.
How long was his life in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm?
In the past several hundred years, this matter alone had caused him to commit countless sins.
Other than that, there were countless other evil deeds.
He had even raised several clans in the mortal world and used a secret technique to forcefully raise the girl"s bone age so that he could plunder and mend her.
This was a true demon!
"The reason why the Devil Dao is a devil is because of the existence of this beast, right?" Li Ran thought to himself.
Ancestor Huanxi poured wine for the two of them and said with a smile, "Although this ordinary wine doesn"t contain any spirit energy, it has a different flavor."
His intimate tone sounded as if they were not enemies, but rather old friends that he had not seen for a long time.
Li Ran picked up the cup and finished it in one gulp.
He wasn"t worried at all about the poison in the wine.
With the opponent"s strength, there was no need for such trouble.
Patriarch Huanxi glanced at him admiringly. "To be able to kill the brothers of the Xie clan, I thought that at least he had to be a Heavenly Tribulation Expert. I didn"t think that it would be the work of the Sheng Zi Li.
"If I"m not mistaken, you should be at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, right?"
Li Ran nodded. "That"s right. If I were in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, you would already be dead."
"You"re right. You" re capable of killing people across realms," he agreed. "If I let you grow, I definitely won"t be your match. Tsk tsk, what a pity. You"re still a Nascent Soul."
His words were calm, yet he did not conceal his disdain and killing intent.
In front of the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation, no matter how powerful the Nascent Soul was, it was unable to retaliate.
These were two completely different levels of life.
Qin Ruyan said in a concentrated voice, "If you suddenly leave the mountain gate, you will definitely not be able to escape the Sect Master"s notice. Aren"t you afraid that the Sect Master will kill you?"
She had thought that the old ancestor would continue to chase after her, but she had never expected that the old ancestor would personally take action.
And he came so quickly!
Huanxi replied, "Of course I"m afraid.
"Liu Xunhuan has always wanted to touch me, but just couldn"t find a suitable reason. This time, it"s very likely that she"ll grab this opportunity."
Qin Ruyan frowned. "Then why do you still dare to do this?"
Huanxi smiled. "If you"re alive, Liu Xunhuan won"t let me go. But if you die, I might still have a chance.
"Before I came out, I set up a spirit formation in my bedchamber, pretending to be in seclusion. Although I couldn"t pretend for long, at least three or four hours wouldn"t be a problem.
"After I kill you all, I will use a secret technique to clear my memories.
"At that time, let alone Liu Xunhuan, and even I won"t know what happened.
"Although it can"t be considered foolproof, this is the best solution I can come up with.”
The more Qin Ruyan listened, the colder her heart became.
The other party was not impulsive, but rather deliberate.
Today, he would definitely not let them off.
After understanding this, she didn" t feel much fear in her heart, but rather guilt.
She lowered her head and bit her lips, her eyes slightly reddening.
It was her who had dragged Li Ran down…
—
Ancestor Huanxi was depressed.
He felt as if he was completely unlucky.
After enduring patiently for so many years, he finally had a chance.
There was the new Holy Maiden, Liu Xunhuan was still in seclusion, Qin Ruyan was far away in Wuyang City…
It could be said to be the right time, the right location, and the right person.
However, in the end, not only did he not kill the enemy, but he was also completely annihilated. Even Cheng Yuzhu was dead!
Even if he was to kill Qin Ruyan this time, he was only trying to protect himself.
Without Cheng Yuzhu, all the previous arrangements had been wasted.
There was also the most crucial point.
He never thought that Qin Ruyan"s helper would be Li Ran.
When he thought of the witch who had reversed the Heavenly Dao, Ancestor Huanxi’s leg and stomach began to cramp.
"I can not let Li Ran leave!
"If Leng Wuyan finds out about this, it"s over!"
—
Qin Ruyan rubbed her eyes and raised her head to say, "The person you want to kill is me. It has nothing to do with Li Ran. As long as you let him go, you can kill me or cut me into pieces!"
Huanxi raised an eyebrow. "What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"
Hearing this, Qin Ruyan"s face paled.
Ancestor Huanxi continued, "Even if I let Sheng Zi Li go, what if Leng Wuyan finds trouble with me?"
Qin Ruyan hurriedly said, "He will definitely keep this matter a secret."
"No, I won"t." Li Ran shook his head and said, "If you let me leave alive, I will definitely have my master kill you."
Qin Ruyan covered her face.
Big brother, it"s already such a time. Can we not be so serious?
Ancestor Huanxi was taken aback for a moment before laughing out loud. "Sheng Zi Li really is a smart man."
He thought that the other party had accepted his fate.
Li Ran sighed. "I"m indeed a smart person, but you"re an idiot."
Huanxi asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Li Ran shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why do you think that even though I know that you might come to chase after me, I"m still foolishly waiting to die in this restaurant? You really think I"m that naive?"
"No matter where you run to, I can find you! This place is extremely far away from Youluo Temple. It was impossible for one to fly!"
Li Ran smiled mockingly. "Do you really think you found me?"
Ancestor Huanxi"s brows furrowed, and his heart trembled. He felt something was off.
"What do you mean?"
"Guess." Li Ran leaned on the chair calmly.
"You"re bluffing. Since you"re anxious to die, I"ll send you off first!"
The red light in Ancestor Huanxi"s hand rose into the air and slammed fiercely at Li Ran.
"Be careful!" Qin Ruyan cried out in surprise. She stood up to block this palm strike.
But her movements were too slow. Just as she stood up, the red light had already brushed past Li Ran"s nose.
Her eyes were filled with despair.
At this moment, the air suddenly froze.
Patriarch Huanxi"s body froze. His expression was one of astonishment, as if he were a statue.
All the spirit energy in his body was sealed, he could not move at all even if he used all his strength.
Li Ran rubbed his nose and said helplessly, "You’re actually so dangerous? I almost got slapped to death!"
An indifferent voice sounded, "It"s a pity that I didn"t beat you to death."
A graceful figure appeared out of thin air and slowly sat on the empty seat beside him.
She wore a white Daoist robe and a veil on her face. She was clearly sitting here, but it was as if she was hundreds of millions of light years away.
Ancestor Huanxi shot a glance, but in the end, he was almost scared out of his wits!
"Yi, Yi Qinglan?!"
Li Ran smiled at him. "Do you really think you found us?
"Actually, I found you!
"Idiot!"
