Summit of the Old Gods

Under Lu Ran's guidance, Bai Rao and Yan Chou both crafted their physical bodies.

The difference is that Yan Chou's body is at the Sea Realm Peak, while Bai Rao's body is at the Heavenly Realm, Level One.

Hmm... it's enough!

"Young Master!"

"Sect Leader." Yan Chou and Bai Rao both saluted, making Lu Ran raise his eyebrows slightly.

Yan Chou, as a former member of Cloud Sea, always showed great respect to Lu Ran.

But Bai Rao, this enchanting beautiful snake, for the first time acted so properly.

"Grateful words, let's not say them." Lu Ran looked at the two executioners, one black and one white, "The road is still long... Oh, I need to give you code names."

"Young Master can still call me Chou Slave." Yan Chou suggested.

Lu Ran smiled, "My mother and I can call you that, but others can't."

Yan Chou fell silent.

Lu Ran leaned against the stone wall, pondering, "Let's call you Heavenly Generals!

You are both great powers from the Heavenly Realm, to me, you are a gift."

Yan Heavenly General, Bai Heavenly General, Tu Heavenly General...

Alright, it's decided.

Both of them naturally had no objections, just a code name, but unexpectedly, Lu Ran continued: "The Heavenly Generals are under the protectors in hierarchy."

Bai Rao: "..."

After going around in such a big circle, it's just to make me, accept the leadership of the Nightmare Guardian?

She glanced at the woman in bamboo clothes beside her, naturally knowing that this incredibly lucky woman was the first to follow Lu Ran.

Sigh...

Bai Rao sighed inwardly.

How many times has it been that she felt a sense of regret that she was born too late to meet him?

This path of struggle, she indeed arrived a bit late.

Fortunately, for now, she is the highest in strength and realm within the Ran Sect!

Although arriving a bit late, in his eyes, she can still shine brightly.

"Sect Leader." Deng Yuxiang suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?"

"The two Heavenly Generals have been fighting in the Heavenly Realm for many years, they must have familiar people, should they disguise themselves a bit?"

"Makes sense!" Lu Ran looked at the handsome Yan Chou in an Emperor Robe, and then at the charming Bai Rao in white clothes as pure as snow.

It's not just about changing attire.

They must cover their faces too!

In front of the corresponding Evil God, they are both considered dead, if the disciples and underlings of the Evil Spear Emperor and the Jade-faced Snake see them still alive, it might expose us.

"I'll have Evil Shadow prepare bamboo hats and bamboo clothes for you two, and make a mask..."

Hearing Lu Ran's decision, Deng Yuxiang nodded secretly, this is indeed more prudent.

After issuing the orders through sound transmission, Lu Ran flipped his palm, revealing a cloud of black mist:

"Let Evil Shadow prepare, now, let's interrogate the prisoner."

Deng Yuxiang immediately stretched out her palm, summoning the Rebirth Money on her wrist, releasing the imprisoned dead soul.

Yan Chou's gaze slightly sharpened!

In the cloud of black mist, he saw a somewhat blurred face.

Faceless Jade Venerable?!

The vast cave was dimly lit, with only a faint light falling from the tunnel entrance more than ten meters above.

Faceless Jade Venerable's gaze lingered momentarily on Yan Chou and Bai Rao, as if identifying something.

It was clear she recognized the two of them!

After all, every underling can be considered an intelligence officer.

As they fell in battle and their souls returned to the main body, the Faceless Jade Venerable naturally knew all the information.

The recreated underlings, inheriting the essence of the main body, also carried some of its memory, at least bearing relevant battlefield intelligence.

"It seems you are indeed different from those lowly ants." Faceless Jade Venerable withdrew her gaze, realizing where she was.

Lu Ran said in a deep voice, "You say the God Demons are the old things unwilling to leave the stage, but you are a stone statue yourself, how are you different from them?"

Faceless Jade Venerable did not answer, but said: "Human Clan, you know quite a few techniques."

"Answer the question!" Deng Yuxiang sternly reprimanded.

Faceless Jade Venerable's mouth slightly curled up, the arc barely noticeable: "If I don't answer, will you burn me?"

Lu Ran's face darkened, "Since you know of Soul Fire, then answer the question."

Unexpectedly, Faceless Jade Venerable looked at Lu Ran calmly: "Burn me."

"What?"

"Let me see your means." Faceless Jade Venerable said lightly.

"Heh, alright!" Lu Ran sneered coldly, "I've never heard such a request before.

This is at your behest!

"Hoo~"

In an instant, a ghostly Soul Fire ignited within the Soul Prison.

The expected screams didn't occur, Lu Ran almost thought his technique had failed.

This is a Heavenly Grade Soul Fire!

No matter how tough the man, most would completely soften in a few seconds.

Yet, Faceless Jade Venerable just watched Lu Ran, letting the Soul Fire burn.

Even more terrifying, her mouth curled into an even more distinct arc.

She was smiling!

In the midst of the most brutal torture, she smiled at Lu Ran.

"You..." Lu Ran was shocked.

Is this possible?

Lu Ran even felt a bit of admiration for Faceless Jade Venerable!

"Is this all your means?" The fiercely burning Faceless Jade Venerable, even her voice did not tremble.

Does she have no sense of pain?

Lu Ran was very puzzled, but he was burning her soul, not her body...

"Can you be immune to this fire?" Lu Ran asked with a frown.

"You are very young."

"What do you mean?"

"You haven't experienced true pain." Faceless Jade Venerable spoke softly, with a hint of a smile.

Lu Ran slightly opened his mouth, staring at the emotionless Faceless Jade Venerable, completely overturning his understanding.

[Young Master.]

[Hmm?] Lu Ran turned his head to look.

[It's very unlikely to be effective.] Yan Chou gently shook his head, [The willpower of this clan is beyond anything you've seen!

The Cloud Sea Sect once captured the dead soul of Faceless Jade Venerable and tortured him harshly, but never got any useful information."]

Lu Ran pressed his lips together and silently extinguished the Soul Fire.

Faceless Jade Venerable looked at Lu Ran with a calm expression, "Are you the inheritor of one of the stone sculptures, and yet a believer of the other?"

Lu Ran's heart sank.

Unexpectedly, Faceless Jade Venerable considered this possibility.

Although the other party guessed wrong, this kind of enemy was undoubtedly different from all those Lu Ran had faced before.

Faceless Jade Venerable stood at a very high position, knowing much information!

If anything is exposed in front of her, it must be completely wiped out; if her soul is allowed to return, there will be endless troubles!

"There seem to be more secrets on you." Faceless Jade Venerable ran her hand through her long hair, pondering, "Your power could come from that bull.

But that you could slip away from my feet, your reflexes and agility are also extraordinary."

Ordinary Heavenly Realm beings would have been crushed to pieces and died tragically on the spot.

Not only did Lu Ran escape, but he also counterattacked and killed her.

On the battlefield of Heavenly Realm strength, victory and death often occur in the blink of an eye.

"Is your target also God Demon?" Lu Ran suddenly asked.

A deliberately exposed flaw indeed caught the other party's attention, only to hear Faceless Jade Venerable softly say:

"Also?"

For Lu Ran to say such a thing, he certainly did not intend to let the Dead Soul go back.

Since force couldn't obtain intelligence, Lu Ran resolutely adjusted his strategy, trying to advance by retreating.

Lu Ran nodded and said, "Our Human Clan suffers oppression, enslaved for generations, I'm unwilling!"

Faceless Jade Venerable nodded lightly, "You should cross these several heavens and kneel at my feet."

"You seem to have no difference from God Demon." Lu Ran's face was gloomy, "No matter who of you wins or loses, the fate of our Human Clan will not change."

Faceless Jade Venerable's pair of sculpted, blurred eyes stared directly at Lu Ran, saying lightly:

"If you don't try, how will you know it won't change?"

"Why do you claim to be something new?" Lu Ran thought he had already opened the topic, so he followed up by asking.

Unexpectedly, Faceless Jade Venerable said, "The time left for you is not much."

"What do you mean?"

"There aren't many beings worthy of my second glance." Faceless Jade Venerable wore a mysterious, ambiguous smile on the corner of her mouth.

A slight foreboding rose in Lu Ran's heart.

Could it be that in the battle against the God Demon camp, she has already gained the upper hand?

Or is she bluffing?

"Let me go, Human Clan, this is a rare opportunity for you."

Lu Ran frowned slightly, remaining silent.

Faceless Jade Venerable seemed to have predicted this, saying softly: "If you are unwilling, then the next time we meet, you and I will still be strangers.

It would be hard for you to get me to look at you again."

"That won't happen." Lu Ran smiled.

Realizing it was impossible to gain anything more from this prisoner, he revealed his true nature: "If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second, third... countless times."

For once, Faceless Jade Venerable slightly raised an eyebrow.

But her eyes gradually showed a hint of mockery.

Clearly, she was held captive in the Soul Prison, held in the palm of Lu Ran's hand, yet her lofty demeanor seemed to look down on the lowly ants beneath her feet.

"What, you don't believe?" Lu Ran said coldly.

He considered himself to have strong psychological endurance, but Faceless Jade Venerable's demeanor made his temper flare!

Lu Ran's hatred for God Demon was already maxed out.

Holding Faceless Jade Venerable, who was clearly a God Demon type or even more powerful entity, as one of the sources of chaos in the Human World.

Her expression...

Lu Ran even felt like a weak kitten, flaunting its sharp claws before a mighty tiger, overestimating its abilities.

"Live longer." Faceless Jade Venerable remained calmly accepting her fate.

And her words were not expectations, but all mockery!

[Chou Slave.]

[Young Master!]

[Use your body stone sculpture to devour her Dead Soul.] Lu Ran ordered sternly, placing the black mist cluster in front.

Strength!

Only with solid strength can there be an equal dialogue!

Currently, Lu Ran was not even worth a meaningful glance, just an extra glance.

Faceless Jade Venerable's wording was always to kneel at her feet, not stand before her.

"Hoo~" Lu Ran fiercely dispersed the Soul Prison Team.

Faceless Jade Venerable...

Just you wait!

See what kind of stance I'm in when I appear before you!

"Buzz!!"

Lu Ran's brain suddenly buzzed, and the Chou Slave stone sculpture in the garden began to tremble.

Yan Chou was both surprised and delighted: "Young Master! This Dead Soul contains an immense amount of Holy Spirit Energy, Chou Slave seems to be... to be..."

Ascending?!

Lu Ran commanded: "Return the remnant shadow! This Sea Realm body, forget about it."

"As you command!"

...
