Chapter 93: Li Ran, First-Ranked Heavenly Devil!
As the conflict between the Righteous Path and Devil Dao grew more and more intense, the entire vast land was sent into turmoil.
It was as if a huge vortex was brewing, and all the sects couldn’t escape.
Right at the center of the storm, a shocking event occurred.
The fairy of the Righteous Path, the undefeated Lin Langyue, was defeated!
And it was a crushing defeat!
Under the eyes of dozens of Righteous Path disciples, she had been severely injured by the Devil Sect’s Sheng Zi. In the end, she could only ignite her cultivation to escape!
On the other hand, the other party was unharmed and was even able to handle her with ease.
This simply shocked the world!
After all, Lin Langyue was the number one genius on the Heavenly Genius Rankings and was publicly acknowledged as the strongest in the Righteous Path’s younger generation.
She was defeated just like that?
Didn’t that mean that the Righteous Path was weak and the Devil Path was about to rise?
At this moment, the rumor that the Righteous Path was ruined became even more widespread.
Their top genius had lost, so Li Ran had become an invincible existence.
Right now, he was only a Golden Core cultivator, but given the time to grow, who would be his match?
If Li Ran was allowed to take the throne, he would most likely turn against the geniuses on the Heavenly Genius Rankings. The end of the Righteous Path was not far away!
Everyone from the Righteous Path was in danger. Li Ran’s shadow enveloped the hearts of all the young disciples.
The Devil Sects were the opposite.
One after another, they felt that the spring of the Devil Path was coming.
There were even people who created the “Heavenly Devil Rankings” to rank the young experts of the Devil Sects.
As for Li Ran, he was the undisputed first-ranked Heavenly Devil!
Wuyang Imperial Capital, middle territory…
The atmosphere was murderous.
A tall figure sat on the dragon throne in the center of the hall.
He wore a twelve-tasseled crown on his head, a black gold dragon robe, and a sword in his right hand.
A terrifying aura was emitted from him.
It was none other than the Emperor, Human Emperor Sheng Feng!
He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the young girl wearing a bright yellow embroidered Flood Dragon brocade robe. “What is the matter?”
A young girl knelt on one knee. “Imperial Father, do you know what happened in Qingzhou City?”
“We already know,” Sheng Feng said indifferently.
Li Ran, the Devil Sheng Zi, crushed dozens of people and even heavily injured Lin Langyue.
An hour later, this matter had already reached Sheng Feng’s ears.
The girl asked, “This demon is really arrogant! Right now, everyone from the Righteous Path is in danger, and the Devil Path is restless. Does Imperial Father have any countermeasures?”
“Yes.”
“How should we deal with it?”
“Do nothing.”
“Imperial Father?” The girl looked up in confusion.
“Without evil, justice would no longer exist.”
“As long as the battle between the Righteous Path and Devil Path doesn’t end, this world will forever belong to the Sheng Clan! If the Devil Path were to perish….”
Sheng Feng’s voice was bone-piercing. “That Righteous Path will be our Sheng Clan’s greatest enemy!”
The young girl was stunned for a moment before suddenly coming to a realization.
Only with three legs could he stand.*
[TLN: By this, he meant that he could only stay neutral, not taking any side.]
If the royal family chose to stand on either side, then it would not be far from extinction.
“But…”
The girl bit her lips. “The vengeful spirits that died in Tiger Sun City are all citizens of our Sheng Clan!”
Could it be that for the sake of stabilizing the country, the Devil Path would be allowed to run rampant?
Sheng Feng said, “Death Prison naturally has to pay the price for this. Ren Tuo has already perished.”
“What?!”
The girl suddenly raised her head. “That demon who slaughtered the city is already dead?”
He was a top-tier devil sect elder. How could he have died so silently?
“The day before yesterday, he died on the spot where you stood.”
Sheng Feng’s tone was calm as his gaze passed through the windows of the main hall, overlooking the entire Central City.
Western Region…
Mount Wu Shan, Concord Sect…
In an extremely luxurious room.
The fragrance was emitting from an incense burner, and the scene was melodious.
A graceful figure could be seen lying on the bed through the Rinsuo Treasure Tent that was embroidered with silver thread crabapple.
This was an extremely delicate and pretty girl. Her eyes were filled with an astonishing amount of charm.
Dressed in a black veil, her slim figure was faintly discernible. Upon closer inspection, however, one could not see the spring scenery.
Looking at the letter in her hand, she let out a silver bell-like smile.
“I didn’t expect you to be here, Lin Langyue?”
“A high and mighty fairy, the moon that hangs in the nine heavens, being crushed on the ground? Hahahaha…”
She was about to burst into tears from laughing. Her delicate body trembled, and it was simply horrifying.
The girl smiled for a while before wiping her tears.
“Li Ran? Big sister really needs to thank you…”
Her lips curled up like a little fox.
Mount Xuanling, Demon Peak.
The Sect Master’s bedroom…
Leng Wuyan leaned on her chin and looked out the window, her fingers unconsciously tapping the table.
“Why isn’t Ran’er back yet? How many days…”
“Hmph! He’s definitely in Wuyang City, spending time with his fiancée, and he’s already forgotten about me!”
“This evil disciple is clearly already engaged. Why did he come to seduce me?”
“When he returns, I must ask him clearly!”
“No, no, no. I have to hang on to him first. Otherwise, I really think I’ll just be letting him bully me… But how long should I wait?
“A month? It seems a bit long… How about… seven days?”
Just as she was talking to herself, a knock came from the door.
She sat upright and cleared her throat. “Come in.”
The door didn’t open, and the shadow squeezed in through the cracks of the door, turning into a human form and kneeling on one knee.
“Sect Master, urgent information has come from the central region.”
“Urgent information?”
Leng Wuyan frowned. “Bring it up.”
The shadow guard handed a jade letter to Leng Wuyan and she poured qi into it.
A moment later.
“Pfft! Hahaha!”
Under the shocked gaze of the Shadow Guards, she was laughing so hard that her flowers were trembling.
“The chief disciple of the Tianshu Institute was beaten up by Ran’er? Hahaha!”
“He’s really my good disciple. He’s playing well!”
“Yi Qinglan, you can’t beat me! Your disciple can’t beat mine disciple either!”
“As a reward… Mn, let’s only wait for him for three days.” Leng Wuyan nodded in satisfaction.
“Ran’er’s talent is indeed very strong. Even her innate dao body is no match for him! No, it should be because of my teachings to him!”
At this moment, the shadow guard said, “Sect Master, there’s still some verbal information left.”
“Speak.”
“The Tianshu Institute announces to the world that Sheng Zi Li Ran has been listed as the sect’s arch-enemy. If the disciples of the sect were to encounter him, they were to kill him without a doubt! The others can bring Li Ran’s head in exchange for three spirit treasures and five immortal materials!”
Boom!
In an instant, the palace began to tremble. An ice-cold pressure enveloped the entire Demon Peak!
The shadow guard trembled as he laid on the ground, unable to lift a single finger!
A moment later, Leng Wuyan’s cold voice rang out, “Pass down my message that the Youluo Temple has entered a state of war. The disciples of the Tianshu Institute will be hunted within the entire vast lands! From the elders to the inner disciples, order all of them to block the White Cloud Peak’s entrance. If anyone from the Tianshu Institute dares to come out, immediately kill them!”
“Yes!” The Shadow Guard was terrified.
It’s over, the Sect Master has gone crazy this time…
