CHAPTER 1108: CHAPTER 1035: GHOST GENERAL, RETURN TO POSITION!

Poor September third night, dew like pearls, moon like bow.

The night envelops the Holy Spirit Mountain, silence pervades the Cloud Sea Cliff.

In the backyard of Cloud Sea Residence, a youth in a black gold emperor robe is lazily lying on a rocking chair, gazing at the new moon in the night sky.

The families of the Burning Gate warriors have been sent back to the human world after the crisis was resolved.

Living in this barren land far from modern society is no different from imprisonment for ordinary people. However, as families of all gods, they indeed find it difficult to integrate into society.

It is said that the families are mostly arranged in the ancient cities beneath the gods.

Lu Ran does not need to concern himself with the specific details.

The garden was replanted with Immortal jasmine trees, whose lush branches swayed gently in the breeze, bringing a light jasmine fragrance.

Truly intoxicating.

Lu Ran’s eyelids gradually droop, and the heavy Venerable Slayer Blade in his hand accidentally slips, falling to the ground with a clatter.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran suddenly widens his eyes.

Realizing this is not a battlefield, his tense body gradually relaxes.

Lu Ran tilts his head to look at the Venerable Slayer Blade on the ground, involuntarily smirking.

Three months have passed.

From June sixth to yesterday, September second, Lu Ran has been fighting in the Heavenly Realm Battlefield.

The Venerable Slayer Blade showed no sign of activity.

Hoping to cultivate a divine weapon in just three months is indeed quite fanciful.

But specific circumstances require specific analyses!

What kind of quality weapon is the Venerable Slayer Blade?

This was personally forged by Deity Tianchen!

What level warrior is Lu Ran, and what kind of enemies does he face?

In the past three months, countless Faceless Jade Venerables have died under the Venerable Slayer Blade! If there were an experience bar, Lu Ran believes the Venerable Slayer Blade’s experience would be overflowing...

Even if it doesn’t become a divine weapon, at least it should give a "buzz" as a response!

Even a slight reaction would count as some achievement; however, the Venerable Slayer Blade gives no face, resembling a dead object.

It’s very frustrating.

What’s even more frustrating is, the Slaying Jade Sword has reacted!

Jiang Ruyi always fights alongside Lu Ran, and the weapon in her hand, also meant to slay the Faceless Jade Venerable, has shown some reaction despite not becoming a divine weapon.

That is the stage before a weapon gathers a Soldier Spirit!

Truly, comparing oneself to others leads to death; comparing goods leads to discard.

The pair of sword and blade, created by the same master craftsman, held by top warriors in the highest-level battlefield.

Yet they deliver two different answers!

Lu Ran looks at the Venerable Slayer Blade fallen on the ground, feeling even more troubled.

However, the three months of fighting cannot be said to be fruitless; at least Lu Ran has become more familiar with the Faceless Jade Venerable.

Her fighting style, her spontaneous reactions, her habitual thinking.

Every time she strikes a hand or foot, every time she swings her jade robe.

Even when she smooths her long hair, and which finger she habitually uses...

Lu Ran has never studied a creature so thoroughly and carefully for such a long time.

He is almost counting her hair strands, figuring out how many there are.

How is this different from being in a relationship?

Regrettably, since Burning Gate unified the God Demon Camp, the Faceless Jade Venerable herself has never appeared on the Heavenly Realm Battlefield again.

It seems she is temporarily avoiding confrontation.

Otherwise, Lu Ran would really like to spar with her.

Although called the Jade Venerable "herself," she only resembles a god demon in physique, her combat prowess surpasses all gods by a considerable margin.

Thus she is called such.

And there is definitely more than one of such "herself!"

Her figures appeared across the five major battle zones.

Lu Ran’s withdrawal from the battlefield has to do with his mental and physical exhaustion needing rest.

On the other hand, Deng Family’s young master is about to ascend!

Over there at Tianya Haijiao, dense fog has been surrounding, persisting for nearly four weeks.

Counting the days, Deng Yutang should be exiting seclusion within these two days...

My Young Master Deng,

you have kept me waiting, the Red Scarf Ghost General is ready for you.

Lu Ran thought silently, suddenly noticing the Venerable Slayer Blade on the ground slowly lifting up.

The Venerable Slayer Blade, not a divine weapon, lacks the ability to float automatically, so it must be the invisible Shadow Guard bringing up the fallen blade.

However, Lu Ran did not accept it, feeling drowsy as his eyelids droop again.

The Venerable Slayer Blade thus hovered horizontally beside the rocking chair, the invisible Shadow Guard dared not leave nor act rashly.

"Hoo~"

The emperor robe, like a black tide, slowly spreads over Lu Ran’s body.

Like a blanket, it covers him.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran, surprised by the emperor robe’s considerate gesture, wonders what’s going on.

Did the emperor robe grow a conscience?

A dignified voice engraved in Lu Ran’s mind: [Finally looking presentable.]

Lu Ran reacts, then laughs: "Your recognition of me makes me realize how aloof I have been."

Speaking as his hand, originally beside the rocking chair, finally grips the Venerable Slayer Blade’s hilt.

The Shadow Guard finally can leave.

Emperor robe: ?

Lu Ran casually tosses the Venerable Slayer Blade to the ground again, closing his eyes once more.

Regarding the Shadow Guard acting as a spy, even after three months, he remains somewhat dissatisfied.

Magic Artifact recognising its master, reporting to Nightmare Guardian, is understandable.

But the Shadow Guard Team, whose unit is it?

No choice, the objective situation is here: Evil Shadow Guardian is the Shadow Guard Team captain, as well as the god revered by the Shadow Guards.

The conversation between Immortal Sheep and Sect Leader is a world-shaking secret that can stun the entire world!

Of course, the Shadow Guards would report to their captain and god.

Hmm... forget it, let’s move on.

After all, Yan Shuangzi is someone I completely trust, and it’s her who manages the Shadow Guard Team.

"Whew~"

The Black Wave slowly receded, no longer covering Lu Ran.

"Heh." Lu Ran didn’t open his eyes, chuckling softly, "You’re quite cute."

The flowing Emperor Robe paused slightly: ???

Lu Ran laughed: "Like a child, throwing a tantrum... huh?"

He stopped speaking abruptly, suddenly sat up, and the rocking chair shook back and forth.

Did Young Master Deng succeed?

Finally ascended to the Heavenly Realm!

Lu Ran’s face lit up with joy and immediately summoned an Ancient Bronze Mirror.

Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away on the vast ocean, at the forgotten end of the world, several figures stood at Heaven’s Edge.

Deng Yutang, Bai Manni, Guan Yiren, Wang Ling.

Led by these few, they were the last batch of Burning Gate disciples left on the Seven Islands of Burning Gate.

Months ago, three thousand disciples of Burning Gate had already returned to the Holy Spirit Mountain Continent to take control of major sects and organizations, occupying various regions.

"Whew!" A Landing Mirror tore through space, rapidly forming.

Under the moonlight, the four of them held their breath and saw an emperor-robed youth emerging.

"Sect Leader!"

"Sect Leader." The few immediately greeted with respect.

"Haha!" Lu Ran strode forward, grabbing Deng Yutang’s shoulders, and lifted him up directly.

Deng Yutang’s heart trembled!

Although his brother was genuinely thrilled, the overwhelming pressure crashed down, momentarily freezing the entire sea cliff.

"Young Master Deng, you made me wait so long!" Lu Ran gave Deng Yutang a big hug, slapping his back with loud pats.

"Ugh." Deng Yutang’s face turned crimson.

Whether it was from the blood rushing or due to embarrassment, it was unclear.

He indeed made Lu Ran wait too long.

When Lu Ran was thrown into the Holy Spirit Mountain, struggling at death’s door, Deng Yutang was at home, getting married and having kids, living a blissful life.

Lu Ran became a Sea Realm Power, transformed into a Mountain Realm king, and Deng Yutang was brought to the mountain, continuing his peaceful life under the protection of brother, sister, and Grandpa Bai.

When Lu Ran ascended to the Heavenly Realm, slaying his way to the Heavenly Realm Battlefield, Deng Yutang became a Sea Realm king, continuing to dominate the mountain.

And now...

Deng Yutang knew he finally became a Heavenly Realm Power, but Lu Ran had already slain countless God Demons, unified Da Xia.

War, disaster, danger...

This path of struggle should have been filled with thorns.

Yet each time Deng Yutang took a step forward, the thorns ahead dissolved into thin air.

What! Call it TMD! A smooth road!

Sometimes, Deng Yutang really wondered if he’d gotten the protagonist’s script...

"I’ve prepared the Red Scarf Ghost General Double Divine Position for you!" Lu Ran released him, stepped back, and sized up the spirited Deng Yutang.

Mentioning the Ghost General, Lu Ran couldn’t help but think of another cavalryman—the Eternal Night Rider.

That European Knight was truly a shock to Lu Ran!

Three months ago, during their meeting, Jiang Ruyi branded the Phoenix Soul on Eternal Night Rider, and he only suffered half a day’s torture, then completely escaped the suffering.

He became a loyal warrior under the Lady of Burning Gate.

Even those Northwest remnants who faced reality took a long time to be properly educated upon joining Burning Gate.

The situation of Eternal Night Rider must be related to his background.

From his solo arrival, it was clear he was determined.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!" Deng Yutang’s face flushed, his voice firm and powerful.

As a courageous and proud warrior, he no longer had to walk the "high road."

He could now be at the forefront of the Burning Gate camp, paving the way for Ran Shen through thorns!

"Family, no need for thanks." Lu Ran, overjoyed, firmly patted Deng Yutang’s shoulder again.

Little Ruyi recruited an Eternal Night Rider, and internally, Burning Gate produced an Eastern Ghost General; perhaps they could spar someday?

The battle should be exciting, right?

Lu Ran pondered quietly, then realized the few others behind him.

Turning his head, he smiled, "Congratulations, Yiren, you’ve also ascended to the Heavenly Realm."

Guan Yiren’s eyes drooped, burying many emotions deep within: "Yes."

She didn’t choose wrongly.

The one she admired deeply even in middle school had now completely overthrown Da Xia’s God Demons, becoming the Lord of All Gods.

"Ruyi saved a place for you on Divine Mountain; she’s been waiting for you for a long time."

"Yes." Guan Yiren replied softly.

Lu Ran turned to Bai Manni and encouraged her: "You should put in more effort too."

Bai Manni trembled slightly, nodding repeatedly.

Currently, she was still at the Sea Realm Peak, just needing a profound insight or a flash of inspiration.

As Lu Ran’s gaze shifted, Wang Ling’s face contorted in bitterness: "Ran Shen, I’m... I’m almost there! Almost at the Sea Realm Peak."

Upon hearing "almost," Lu Ran couldn’t help but have a peculiar expression, glancing at Deng Yutang before him.

Seeing Deng Yutang’s face flushed as if about to drip blood.

"Breathe, Young Master Deng, breathe!" Lu Ran hurriedly said.

Not far behind, Bai Manni said tremulously: "Ran Shen, you... you can stay away from Yutang."

"Oh!" Lu Ran immediately understood and quickly moved away.

"Hiss..." Deng Yutang took a deep breath, his chest heaving fiercely, panting nonstop.

Lu Ran, amused and irritated: "A living person can die holding urine! You might as well shout out, isn’t the Red Cloth Order a decoration?"

Deng Yutang’s face was embarrassed.

The Battle Roar is meant for combat, right?

In daily life, must he use the Battle Roar to confront his own people?

How embarrassing is that!!
