Summit of the Old Gods

Everyone?

Every Da Xia's genius still alive...

Lu Ran's face was solemn, there was no doubt that he had already been listed on the hunt list.

However, ever since he entered the mountain, he had been traveling far and wide, yet he really hadn't encountered many of Da Xia's geniuses.

In theory, this group of individuals fits the positioning of Holy Spirit Mountain very well.

Outstanding talent, formidable strength.

But, when counted down, there are a full hundred geniuses, and Lu Ran had only heard of or seen He Qifeng, Wang Longxiang, Jin Luyang, Hou Yun, and Xue Fengchen.

Including Lu Ran himself, there are only six of them.

The ratio seems a bit off?

Of course, Holy Spirit Mountain is vast and boundless, so it's not out of the question that there are other geniuses struggling for survival elsewhere.

But considering Lu Ran's footprint covers almost all of Holy Spirit Mountain, if there are other geniuses out there, there shouldn't be too many of them.

And Lu Ran and the other five all entered the mountain soon after the first episode of "Heavenly Pride" ended.

Afterwards, All Gods must have discovered the problem! Not only did they immediately call off the second "Heavenly Pride", but they also stopped bringing in the crowd of geniuses from the first into the mountain?

As Lu Ran pondered in silence, he heard Peak Master Tu say in a low voice:

"Leave here, Qifeng."

Lu Ran thought, indeed!

This time Peak Master Tu came, not with an intent to act, but specifically to warn He Qifeng.

"Take your resilience and ambition, and seek a way out." Peak Master Tu looked into He Qifeng's eyes, "Don't let me see you again."

He Qifeng looked at Peak Master Tu, stunned.

Peak Master Tu gestured towards the majestic ancient city below the mountain: "Before you leave, disperse everyone; this Forbidden City will only attract executioners like me."

He Qifeng tightly pressed his lips together, his emotions raging violently.

Anger, unwillingness, helplessness...

Peak Master Tu looked at He Qifeng, and after a long time, he sighed lightly: "Qifeng, you are the most outstanding young talent I have ever seen, the title of genius is truly deserved.

But your current strength is not enough to support your actions."

Peak Master Tu paused, his tone suddenly softened slightly, resembling a kind elder giving advice: "Live on first, Qifeng."

He Qifeng's hand stopped trembling, his eyes lowered, his whole demeanor terrifyingly silent.

Live on first?

"Three days." Peak Master Tu's tone returned to normal, turning to leave, "In three days, I will return to the Forbidden City, seek your news, and destroy everything here."

He Qifeng suddenly turned his head, looking at the receding figure of Peak Master Tu: "You're letting me go just like that, aren't you afraid of the gods' punishment?"

Peak Master Tu's steps halted.

He was silent for a moment, his face void of any emotion, and without any response, he resumed his steps into the night.

[Find out! See if we can keep him.] Lu Ran's commanding voice echoed in his mind.

"Ta~"

He Qifeng executed the order without hesitation, her toe lightly tapped, and a ring of golden ripples spread, resembling beautiful ripples on a lake.

In the blink of an eye, she blocked Peak Master Tu's path: "Aren't you being watched by the gods right now?"

Even with this question, the answer should be affirmative.

The hands of All Gods certainly cannot reach inside Holy Spirit Mountain.

If Divine Monk could communicate with Peak Master Tu at all times, then definitely, Peak Master's current actions would be severely punished by the Monk!

It wouldn't even reach the stage of "punishment." If a person and a god were spiritually connected, Peak Master Tu would not be here at all.

There would be no way to warn He Qifeng or convey information to her.

So, it should be only during the extremely special period of Peak Master Tu's promotion to the Heavenly Realm that he could communicate with a god.

Which led to Peak Master Tu's "drastic change in temperament," annihilating the entire Ran Sect.

"The Martial Monk will find out sooner or later." Peak Master Tu looked at He Qifeng a few meters ahead and continued to walk, "He wants a result."

Find out sooner or later?

Which means not now!

Lu Ran silently considered, watching this great power of the Heavenly Realm, his mind becoming increasingly active.

On the other hand, He Qifeng was enduring an unimaginable predicament.

When a Heavenly Realm Martial Monk Believer approaches step by step, also carrying the identity of an "executioner," it is enough to make any creature's body and soul tremble!

"Pa."

As they passed by each other, Peak Master Tu lightly patted He Qifeng on the shoulder: "I will give him a result too."

He Qifeng endured the dread in her heart, blocking the executioner once more.

In that moment, her resolute nature couldn't help her at all.

Under the God Demon system, the suppression of hierarchy caused her body to tremble violently: "You obviously didn't... don't want to kill me, came here to warn me, but you still have to act in three days.

Just like how you previously slaughtered everyone in Ran Sect, you had a reason you couldn't avoid, didn't you?"

Peak Master Tu continued to walk in silence, brushing past He Qifeng's shoulder.

He Qifeng shouted: "If you tore up the Divine Contract and are no longer the Martial Monk's puppet, what would happen then?"

Peak Master Tu left expressionless, a cold sentence echoed from far away:

"The Mountain Realm must restore its original order."

"Tell us why, Peak Master Tu." Suddenly, a young man's voice came.

Peak Master Tu's expression changed, looking to the right front.

Under the tree, there was emptiness, no sign of anyone, nor any fluctuations of Divine Power.

But the young man's voice indeed came.

Peak Master Tu recognized this voice!

It was the mysterious young man who had previously stopped him in the sky above the Forbidden City!

An unknown follower of the Jade-faced Snake, a human youth more powerful and supreme in battle strength than the successor he handpicked, He Qifeng!

"He Qifeng is saving our human compatriots." The young man inquired, "Why must the Mountain Realm restore its original order?

Why must our compatriots suffer and die in batches in the slaughterhouse?"

Listening to the young man's relentless questioning, Peak Master Tu was filled with emotion.

The previous reckless behavior of the mysterious youth, including the thoughts revealed in his words at this moment, greatly impressed Peak Master Tu.

He looked at the empty space under the trees, remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke:

"Only this way can we ensure the battle power of the God Demon."

"Ensure the battle power of the... God Demon?" Lu Ran opened his eyes slightly wider.

Utterly preposterous!

He was eager to chop up the God Demon and restructure the Human World's order.

Yet, Peak Master Tu, who was also from the Human Clan, was diligently upholding this order.

Acting as a traitor?

Helping the All Gods and Evil Demons ensure battle power, securing the eternal ruling status of the God Demon?

"Don't you think that our Human Clan's situation can't possibly get worse?" Peak Master Tu looked toward the direction the voice was coming from, "Our Human Clan has nothing left to lose."

"Isn't that right?"

Peak Master Tu suddenly asked, "Who do you think is responsible for the deafening sounds coming from the sky?"

Lu Ran knitted his eyebrows: "Isn't it the Divine Monk and Evil Demon fighting?"

Peak Master Tu slowly shook his head: "Martial Monk Jade-faced Snake, Martial Artist Yin Flower Dan, Qiang Xiu Evil Spear Emperor... God Demon has always been one."

God Demon as one!

Two sides of the same coin?

"Gulp." Lu Ran's Adam's apple rolled once.

"God and Demon oppose each other, but they also share the same source."

Peak Master Tu's words felt like a thunderbolt, making Lu Ran's mind buzz.

Strictly speaking, Lu Ran was somewhat mentally prepared.

After all, those groups of "sworn enemies," the God Demon, had too many similarities at the skill level, inevitably arousing suspicion.

But now hearing the definite answer, Lu Ran couldn't help but feel secretly anxious.

Peak Master Tu's voice was grave: "What if I say that the thunderous sounds from the sky are...?

God Demon joining hands to fight against external enemies, can you accept it?"

Lu Ran stared blankly at Peak Master Tu.

God Demon joining hands?

Such terminology, of course, Lu Ran could accept. He had always believed the whole world was a huge lie jointly woven by the God Demon.

But joining hands to fight against external enemies?

Peak Master Tu stepped forward: "Our Clan still has what we can lose, after all, our Clan still exists and continues."

Lu Ran didn't evade.

Peak Master Tu tried to raise his hand to press on Lu Ran's shoulder.

Everything was as expected, this exceptionally talented mysterious youth indeed had enough courage and boldness, allowing this Heavenly Realm Executioner to lightly pat his shoulder.

Peak Master Tu's words softened a lot: "Young one, two cups of poison wine are placed before you, which would you choose?"

So, Peak Master Tu chose the one with the milder poison...

"Survive first." Peak Master Tu's palm slightly applied force, gripping Lu Ran's shoulder, "Only by living is there hope.

As long as our Clan can continue, generation after generation will arise.

Maybe some generation in posterity, some clansman, can break this setup, can slightly change our Clan's predicament."

Lu Ran remained silent, digesting the shocking news.

Thus, the Immortal Sheep master kept everything under wraps.

And forcibly ordered himself to personally ascend to the heavens and make a decision belonging to Lu Ran.

In some sense, the existence of the God Demon ensures the continuation of the Human Clan?

Peak Master Tu said no more, gently patted Lu Ran's shoulder, then walked away.

"Peak Master Tu." Lu Ran regained his senses, turned to watch the tall back of the man.

Peak Master Tu continued moving forward, ignoring the call.

Lu Ran spoke in a deep voice: "I am the clansman you mentioned."

Peak Master Tu suddenly sensed the intense wave of Divine Power coming from behind, turned his head slightly, and found the mysterious youth revealing his true form.

Under the moonlight, a young man clad in a rain cloak, raised the brim of his broad bamboo hat, revealing handsome eyebrows.

Peak Master Tu only then understood why the youth's voice was muffled.

The other was wearing a half-face mask, the peculiar yet beautiful Blood Crystal Mask with thin wisps of blood mist flowing within.

"Let's get acquainted." Lu Ran looked at the Heavenly Realm Great Martial Monk, introducing himself, "Lu Ran."

Peak Master Tu's heart moved slightly, recognizing the name.

Lu Ran, Master of Ran Sect.

Qifeng often spoke of Da Xia's genius!

Peak Master Tu was stunned for a moment, looked at the golden-robed woman standing behind, then at the determined-eyed youth in the rain cloak.

"Haha." He chuckled involuntarily.

Of course!

Aside from Da Xia's genius, who would so recklessly, knowingly attempt the impossible, yet resolutely stand above the Forbidden City, blocking a Heavenly Realm Great Power... huh?

Peak Master Tu recalled the day Lu Ran summoned several Immortal Sky Pythons, then asked:

"I heard you are an Immortal Sheep Believer?"

"I am the clansman breaking the setup you mentioned," Lu Ran spoke as he suddenly sprouted two golden bodies, transforming into Three Heads and Six Arms.

Martial Monk Divine Skill · Fierce Glare Three Bodies!

More frighteningly, within one of the golden bodies, he held an exquisite Jade Ruyi.

Jade-faced Snake Evil Technique · Jade Ruyi!

Peak Master Tu's face changed! He slowly turned, facing Lu Ran directly.

"No need to wait for future generations."

Lu Ran stared straight at him, enunciated each word: "You and I can be the generation you spoke of."
