CHAPTER 1101: CHAPTER 1028: BLOOD OATH AT DAWN

Lu Xing had so many questions in his heart.

What kind of existence is his child really?

Such a defiant act, bringing himself back to the human world from the Netherworld.

He could easily command divine and evil sculptures, directing energy to himself, with a natural ease as if his son was the leader of all gods and demons.

When Lu Ran mentioned the divine soul, if he understood correctly, was he referring to the soul of the gods?

Where did the God Demon Sculpture Garden originate from, and who exactly is Lord Immortal Sheep?

What had Lu Ran experienced in the past ten years...

The father and son talked all night long.

From the age of 13 when Lu Ran went to Beijing, to 16 when he returned to Rain Alley.

At 19, he entered Holy Spirit Mountain, ascended to the Heavenly Realm at 21, and unified the God Demon Camp at 23.

He governed all of Da Xia.

Commanding the entire host of gods and demons.

Lu Xing felt as if he was hearing a fairy tale, yet also making an unrealistic dream.

Though it’s said heroes emerge young from ancient times.

But standing at such a great height, Lu Ran seemed a bit too young...

The sky gradually lit up.

The morning glow dyed the sky red, the light falling on the young man, cloaking him in a legendary aura.

Indeed, a legend.

The young man was like a force of creation, achieving feats that astounded the ages.

Lu Xing clearly realized that the achievements of his child went far beyond what could elicit paternal pride.

He could only look up.

With the utmost reverence.

Along with all the people in the world, feeling grateful for the blessings and protection of the Master of Ran Sect.

"Knowing that the gods and demons collude, weaving lies and enslaving all beings, how do you feel?"

Lu Ran sat in a corner of the rooftop, leaning against the stone railing, gazing beyond his father’s large shadow at the vast morning sky in the east.

Lu Xing remained silent, as there was much information to process.

At this point in time, his focus remained solely on Lu Ran, rather than anything else.

Lu Ran chuckled: "Now, if I were to say that Ruyi ascended the divine altar over the bones of the Jade Talisman, would you still be repulsed?"

Lu Xing shook his head.

All loyalty and reverence for the Jade Talisman had long faded when the gods struck.

He always wondered why the gods would treat a devout believer this way.

Now he finally knew, he was but a pawn in their struggle.

All because of his wife who stood at the peak of the Human Clan.

Wife, child...

Each shining more brightly than the other.

His own death... it was fine.

At least he managed to shield Ranran and Little Yuanxi from one calamity.

Nothing to complain about; she tore apart the great deceit of gods and demons, giving her all to change this world of suffering.

What wrong did she do?

Lu Xing calmed his emotions, and slowly said: "Our enemies still include the Faceless Jade Venerable and gods and demons from other battle zones."

"Outer realm gods and demons are not a concern; they will submit... heh, they already started submitting." Lu Ran snorted, his tone turned serious, "But the Faceless Jade Venerable is different."

Lu Xing nodded.

Throughout this night’s conversation, whenever his son mentioned the Faceless Jade Venerable, it was always with high praise!

It wasn’t just importance, but a deep respect.

"The combat power of the Blood Skull is something you understand. In the coming days, focus on enhancing your cultivation, so you can transform into an Evil God and adapt to this sect’s evil technique soon."

With that, Lu Ran shifted his gaze from the morning glow back to his father’s shadow: "I need you, I really do."

"Alright!" Lu Xing’s face was exceptionally solemn.

More than a promise, it seemed like he was making a commitment.

Seeing the earnest look in his father’s eyes, Lu Ran’s face broke into a radiant smile.

For most of the past night, his father remained silent.

Although he managed his expressions well, Lu Ran could sense his father’s myriad emotions, confusion, shock, and helplessness.

But throughout, there was a deep sense of guilt.

The crueler Holy Spirit Mountain was, the closer the God-Demon War led to a life-or-death situation, the more suppressed he felt inside.

Now, it seemed his father finally found a chance to breathe.

The journey of the Ran Sect was not over.

Another more perilous mission awaited! And this time, he could be by his son’s side.

Trying to fulfill the responsibilities of a father.

"If there’s nothing else, just return to the garden." Lu Ran rose, leaning on the stone railing, "The day after tomorrow, when your Evil Sculpture Body advances to the Peak of Heaven Realm, I’ll give you the divine soul."

Lu Xing nodded in silence, aware of the time urgency.

The large shadow moved towards Lu Ran, condensing in his vision.

Until only Lu Ran was left on the rooftop, looking at the red sun rising in the east, taking a deep breath.

A good omen indeed.

"Shua~"

Lu Ran’s figure flashed and appeared directly at home, smelling the fragrance of food.

He walked to the kitchen entrance, seeing the tall and graceful figure at the counter, and upon seeing the fully set table, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Last night, when Lu Xing mentioned wanting to chat with Lu Ran, Jiang Ruyi had taken her leave.

Now it seemed, she hadn’t been idle since coming back.

"You’re back." Jiang Ruyi didn’t turn her head.

Lu Ran instantly teleported behind her, placing his hands on the counter to encircle her, looking at the steaming beef stew in the pot: "Eating such a hearty dish early in the morning?"

"I didn’t know what your uncle likes, so I made it to your taste."

"He’s advancing, probably won’t have the appetite for it."

"Then we shall eat it." Jiang Ruyi said indifferently.

The lavish breakfast was because Lu Xing had been dead for over a decade, always imprisoned within the Rebirth Money.

The long dark years Jiang Ruyi couldn’t fathom; she could only speculate that he might want to taste human food again.

If conditions don’t permit, then so be it.

As long as Lu Ran enjoys it.

"It seems you two had a good chat." Jiang Ruyi turned around in the small circle, observing the young man’s expression.

"I’m happy for you."

"Hmm?"

"It’s the Blood Skull, the Great Xia Evil Demon’s leader! The Empress has gained a top-notch warrior under her command, making our sect stronger..."

"Go away." Jiang Ruyi spat lightly.

Lu Ran laughed: "Emperor Lu sounds better, don’t you think? Emperor Xing doesn’t feel quite right?"

If it’s this kind of "punishment", then it fits.

Or perhaps borrowing the name of the Blood Skull, calling him Blood Emperor?

Tsk, sounds terrifying.

"Let’s eat first." Jiang Ruyi was well aware of Lu Ran’s naming capabilities, and it would take a while to decide.

Soon, the two sat at the table.

Jiang Ruyi suggested: "Is your head still buzzing? Should we send your uncle to Little Chi Feng?"

Lu Ran decisively shook his head: "The Blood Skull Necklace is still in Little Chi Feng’s belly; better not let it see the scene of its former master’s soul being devoured.

In a few days, let my dad, as the new Blood Skull, meet the necklace and subdue it."

"Hmm... that’s fine."

"Rest assured, it’s just an Evil Sculpture tremor, voice transmission is not an issue." Lu Ran naturally understood Jiang Ruyi’s intent.

Now that his father was successfully resurrected, it meant that Lord Immortal Sheep was now free.

Until today, he had completely controlled the Great Xia God-Demon Camp, fulfilling his previous agreement with Lord Immortal Sheep.

Sheep General,

it’s time to reveal its mysterious identity, isn’t it?

...
