"Is that kid really that strong?!"
Yang Hao clenched his fists, his heart full of disbelief. Although he knew that Lin Ran had some things, he had never imagined that Lin Ran had such powerful strength.
Faced with Lin Lao's words, Yang Hao immediately began to question them, but he had no way to question them.
The reason is simple. At this moment, the commander-in-chief of the Black Annihilation Army, the top genius of the younger generation of the Ancient Clan, Gu Yao, is still lying on the ground in a miserable state and unconscious.
However, to defeat five Dou Zun, including the peak of the first Dou Zun, by his own strength, this kind of thing, among the younger generation of the ancient clan, only that one person could possibly do it...
"If that guy is really that strong, his qualifications are probably almost the same as those of the Grand Commander..." Gu Zhen said in a low voice with emotion.
"Humph, the Grand Commander is known as the most talented person in our clan for thousands of years, second only to the young lady. That boy is just a five-star Dou Zun. Even if he has a pure yang body, how can he be compared with the Grand Commander?"
Gu Qian snorted coldly, but a hint of fear still appeared in his eyes.
He defeated five Dou Zun by himself, and among them were the Nine Heavenly Lords, Eight Heavenly Lords and Four Heavenly Lords. The real combat power of Lin Ran is probably at the third or even fourth level of Dou Zun.
No wonder that guy was so fearless in front of me, and the lady was also trying her best to stop me from fighting him...
"Since when did the people of my ancient clan like to talk about others behind their backs?"
As the cold voice sounded, Xun'er's graceful figure slowly walked out of the house. Her eyes lingered on the ancient monster on the ground, and then she said calmly: "Let's go."
"Miss!"
Hearing Xun'er's words, Old Lin and others were shocked and their faces were filled with joy.
The young lady finally figured it out, and she is finally going back to her clan!
In fact, several years ago, after the Gu clan learned that the key of the Xiao family was lost (they thought it was taken away by the Soul Palace, but it was actually in Lin Ran's hands), they had always wanted Xun'er to return to the clan, but Xun'er's attitude was extremely tough and she kept refusing.
As for the reason, Elder Lin actually knew it. It was because of the boy from the Xiao family, the young lady's childhood sweetheart, Xiao Yan!
The boy was supposed to enter school with the young lady, but for various reasons, he is still practicing in the outside world and there has been no news of him for several years.
Under such circumstances, Xun'er had always insisted and believed that Xiao Yan would come to Canaan College to find her. This situation reached its peak after Gu Yuan took the initiative to recruit Lin Ran to warm up Xun'er's meridians!
Elder Lin was even a little worried. This time the clan was making such a big fuss to bring Xun'er back. If Xun'er still didn't want to go back, what should they do? Could it be that they just use force...
Fortunately, this time Xun'er did not refuse again, and did not even have much resistance, which made Mr. Lin breathe a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, he was also a little surprised.
Could it be that the young lady of the family has let it go and is ready to stop wasting time on the boy from the Xiao family?
Elder Lin was secretly delighted. If that was the case, that would be great.
Although Elder Lin did not have many grudges against Xiao Yan, he even liked Xiao Yan very much. After all, Xiao Yan was indeed worthy of praise for being able to fulfill the three-year agreement.
However, if he wanted him to recognize Xiao Yan and make Xiao Yan the son-in-law of their ancient clan just based on this, then he was really thinking too much.
The more ancient the race, the more they value matching, not to mention that they are the imperial bloodline!
In the ancient clan, there is a clear rule that intermarriage with outsiders is not allowed. Therefore, although Elder Lin admires Xiao Yan, he absolutely does not approve of Xiao Yan and Xun'er.
In his opinion, it would even be better to choose Lin Ran than Xiao Yan... After all, although Lin Ran is also a foreigner, the qualifications, abilities and potential that Lin Ran has shown are indeed quite outstanding, and he is really worthy of Xun'er.
"Wait a minute, why would I think of that kid Lin Ran...and how could the young lady marry someone from another race? What the hell am I imagining?"
Old Lin shook his head fiercely, threw away the messy thoughts in his mind, and then hurriedly caught up with Xun'er.
Gu Zhen glanced at Gu Yao lying on the ground, bowed to Gu Qian, and left. Yang Hao hurriedly followed the pace of his commander-in-chief, and in a flash, only Gu Yao and Gu Qian were left here.
"How long are you going to pretend to be dead? The lady has already left."
Gu Qian snorted coldly, and the ancient demon who should have been unconscious on the ground actually slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of resentment.
"He's humiliating me!"
Almost gritting his teeth, the ancient demon's face was distorted: "I am the commander-in-chief of the ancient clan! I am the Shura commander-in-chief of the ancient clan! How can he humiliate me! How dare he humiliate me like this!"
If it happened in other places or at other times, it would be humiliation. After all, there was indeed a slight difference in strength between the two, and he would just accept that he was not as skilled as the other person. And, if you think about it, it was indeed him who started the talkative talk first.
But, that was in front of Xun'er!
Gu Yao's love for Xun'er was known to everyone in the Gu Clan. Even many elders were optimistic about the two of them and wanted to bring them together.
But Xun'er always kept him at a distance.
Over the years, in order to gain Xun'er's recognition when he meets her, Gu Yao has been improving himself. Not only has he become the commander-in-chief of the Black Annihilation Army, but in the last blood test, he was also found to have seventh-grade blood power. He was praised by countless powerful ancient clan members as a top genius rarely seen in a hundred years.
Everything is so beautiful. I just have to wait until I see Xun'er again, and then I will perform well, show myself well, and win the heart of the beauty.
But who would have thought that he would end up like this just because he said a few more words, and even lost all face in front of Xun'er...
When he thought of himself being ravaged by Lin Ran in front of Xun'er, Gu Yao's heart almost collapsed. His face became more and more ferocious and distorted, and his fierce murderous aura almost condensed into substance. Even Gu Qian, who was at the peak of his level, was a little surprised.
"Okay, there's only you and me here, so there's no need to get so angry." Gu Qian said calmly.
"Impotent rage?!"
Hearing this, the ancient demon's face became even more distorted, and even his voice became extremely sharp: "I want him to die! I want him to die!"
"Don't look at me like that. You heard what Elder Lin said. Even the Four Heavenly Masters of the Soul Palace, Xuehe, died at his hands. You didn't deserve to be defeated."
What is the cultivation level of the Four Heavenly Lords Xuehe? He is at the peak of the First Transformation Dou Zun, and is on the same level as Gu Qian.
Even he fell at the hands of Lin Ran. With an ancient monster that was only a seven-star Dou Zun at the moment, there was no way he could be a match for Lin Ran.
"You have the blood of an emperor, and your bloodline is strong. Your future achievements will definitely be better than mine." Gu Qian said calmly: "Go back and practice well. Although the Pure Yang Body is strong, it is impossible to stand at the top of this world with the Pure Yang Body. In terms of aptitude, you have the advantage."
"…"
The ancient demon did not speak a word, but just clenched his fists, and bright red blood flowed out from between his fingers, showing the anger and unwillingness in his heart.
Seeing Gu Yao like this, Gu Qian was too lazy to say anything more. By saying this, he had already given enough face to Gu Yao, the commander-in-chief of the Black Yan Army.
With fighting spirit surging, Gu Qian directly tore through the space and stepped into it. The ancient demon gritted his teeth, punched the ground heavily, let out an extremely unwilling roar, and finally stepped into the space crack.
But those eyes that were filled with murderous intent and evil spirit became even more gloomy at this moment...
…
Xun'er's departure did not alarm anyone, and only the top leaders of Canaan College and Shengyu Sect knew about it.
But Xun'er was, after all, a favored daughter of heaven who was admired by everyone in Canaan College. The long absence of this goddess eventually attracted everyone's questioning. After learning that Xun'er had left, countless people's wailings suddenly rang out throughout the college.
Many students in the college felt that the true love they had been searching for was gone. For a time, there were countless frustrated and sad people in every corner of the college...
Xun'er's departure had a significant impact on Canaan College, but it was nothing to the Holy Rain Sect.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
All affairs of the Shengyu Sect were carried out as usual. Those who needed to practice were practicing, those who needed to refine pills were refining pills, those who needed to build space wormholes were building normally, and those who needed to recruit strong people from the outside world were recruiting normally.
Lin Ran was not idle either. After Xun'er left, he had an important thing to do.
"Yes, Sect Master. The Soul Palace branch closest to us is located in the Tianqing Mountains..."
"Tianqing Mountains?!"
After hearing Lu Yi's report, Lin Ran narrowed his eyes and made plans in his mind.
Lin Ran has a lot of information about the Soul Palace. This information not only comes from the data from his previous life, but also from his contact with the Soul Palace over the years.
Soul Palace, the most powerful force in the Douqi Continent, was founded by the Soul Clan among the eight ancient clans.
Its organization is mainly divided into two structures, Tiangang Hall and Disha Hall. Tiangang Hall is divided into three halls: Heaven, Earth and Man. These three halls are also the gathering place of the highest combat power of Soul Hall. Even the weakest Ren Hall is so powerful that Lin Ran cannot shake it, and Lin Ran naturally would not be so bold as to set his sights on them.
His target is the Earthly Demon Palace!
The so-called Earthly Demon Palace is the palace master and deputy palace master in the palace, both of whom are Dou Zun-level strongmen. This branch palace is called the Earthly Demon Palace in the Soul Palace.
There are many Earthly Demon Halls in the Soul Palace. In Zhongzhou alone, the Soul Palace has a total of twenty-four Earthly Demon Halls. Each Earthly Demon Hall has at least two Dou Zun-level powerhouses in charge. And in the entire Douqi Continent, the number of Earthly Demon Halls in the Soul Palace is far more than twenty-four.
However, they are all hiding in extremely mysterious places, and in secret, they continuously supply souls to the Soul Palace, like steel needles, firmly nailed to every corner of the Douqi Continent.
According to the intelligence gathered at this stage, there is a Disha Palace in the Tianya Mountains outside Tianya City!
"The small secluded in the mountains, the great secluded in the city. Knowing that Tianya City has a space wormhole and a huge flow of people, they took the initiative to station a branch hall in the Tianqing Mountains... How courageous."
Lin Ran narrowed his eyes.
According to the information collected by Lu Yi, there are two Dou Zun powerful masters and dozens of Soul Palace guardians in this branch of the Soul Palace in the Tianqiong Mountains. This level of branch is undoubtedly the Disha Palace.
However, Lin Ran didn't know their specific combat strength. However, Lin Ran guessed that the two Dou Zuns should be ordinary Dou Zuns, not Tian Zuns. But even so, Lin Ran was very satisfied.
After all, for a branch hall that can be guarded by two Dou Zun, the soul essence condensed in the branch hall... must be not small!
Yes, this so-called soul essence is the real purpose of Lin Ran's search for this branch hall of the Soul Hall.
Although there are conflicts between Lin Ran and the Soul Palace, the Soul Palace is now very powerful. It is impossible for Lin Ran to provoke the Soul Palace just for the so-called revenge. That is undoubtedly not a wise move.
The most important reason why the Disha Hall of the Soul Palace is targeting this time is because Lin Ran has set his eyes on the origin of the soul in the hands of the Soul Palace!
The soul is the foundation of all living things. All things in the world have souls. Deep within the soul, there is a trace of the origin of the soul. This is the foundation for the birth of the soul, and it can also be said to be the purest and most strange energy in the world.
This kind of thing can greatly improve the power of the soul. For example, in the original work, Xiao Yan and Emperor Hun Tian both relied on the origin of the soul to improve their soul realm to the emperor realm!
Although Lin Ran was reborn with the help of Zi Yan's Dragon Emperor's blood essence, and his pure yang body was promoted to a pure yang dragon body, the "three realms" that needed to be broken through for the promotion of the pure yang body still existed.
'Blood Realm', 'Soul Realm', 'Return to Origin Realm'
At present, Lin Ran has only broken through the Blood Realm. As for the Soul Realm, Lin Ran estimates that with the strength of his soul, he will have to reach at least the peak of the Spirit Realm, or even the Heavenly Realm Soul, before he can break through.
But unfortunately, the means to condense the soul are too rare, the Soul Infant Demon Tree is still being cultivated, and the Soul Palace and the three scorpion demons are like the sword of Damocles hanging over his head, which requires Lin Ran to improve himself in the shortest possible time!
And this soul origin is the target that Lin Ran is eyeing!
"You did a great job."
Lin Ran put the information provided by Lu Yi into the ring and said with a smile: "This information is very crucial. If that branch of the Soul Palace is really the Earthly Demon Palace, then I will record your great achievement and reward you well when I come back."
"Master, you are wrong. It is just my duty."
Hearing about the reward, Green-clothed girl's pretty face suddenly turned red.
Although she and Lin Ran had already had physical contact, Lu Yi preferred her original identity to that of Lin Ran's female companion.
Her strength is not strong. Even after so many years, with the help of various resources, Lu Yi is only a Dou Zong, and a junior Dou Zong at that.
She doesn't want to be a vase, so Lu Yi is very clear about her own positioning and she places herself very clearly and never crosses the line.
It was this kind of self-awareness that made Lin Ran hand over the entire Shengyu Sect to her for management, and Lu Yi never let him down.
Whether it was the construction of the Holy Rain Sect after its initial establishment, or the management while Lin Ran was unconscious, or at this moment, digging out a Disha Palace for Lin Ran...
With Lu Yi around, Lin Ran felt really relieved.
