Chapter 372: I Bet She Won't Die!

Chapter 372: I Bet She Won't Die!

Inside and outside Northwind City, an eerie silence prevailed.

The confrontation between two deities caused mortals to shiver and tremble in fear.

It was always the case that when gods fought, mortals suffered.

If these two deities were to truly clash, not only would Northwind City be destroyed, but the entire Ice City would cease to exist!

The atmosphere was oppressively tense.

The entire world seemed to have only the Celestial Ram Elder smiling warmly.

Communication between deities didn't require sound.

Thus, people were unaware of what the deities had said.

However, from the Celestial Ram Elder's actions, people could decipher some of what had transpired.

Under the gaze of the world, the Celestial Ram Elder offered a ball of mist with both hands.

One deity frowned, while the other smiled in response.

Anyone could see that the Celestial Ram Elder was adopting a humble posture, likely apologizing.

After a long silent negotiation, Northwind finally accepted the Celestial Ram Elder's apology with a cold face.

Then, Northwind gave the Celestial Ram Elder a cold look, perhaps expressing dissatisfaction or issuing a warning.

The Celestial Ram Elder smiled and bowed again, and Northwind's figure gradually faded away.

People inside the city remained kneeling with their heads lowered, unaware of what had happened.

Those outside the ancient city witnessed the scene clearly, and many took out their phones and cameras to capture the moment.

This was the result the Celestial Ram Elder had wanted.

You want to regain face, huh?

No problem, I'll give it to you.

The Divine Incarnation apologized to you in front of everyone; is that not enough?

Not enough?

Then I'll smile more politely.

"Let's go, take her back to Falling Immortal Mountain."

The Celestial Ram Elder's figure dissipated, and a message entered Lu Ran's mind.

Lu Ran was extremely grateful, but also felt deeply guilty.

He didn't know how much the Celestial Ram Elder had sacrificed to placate Northwind's anger with such a humble apology.

This time, he had caused a huge disaster.

"Celestial Ram Elder, you..."

"Leave Northwind's territory immediately!" The message descended again, its tone stern. "Now!"

"Yes!" Lu Ran nodded heavily, deciding to discuss everything once they returned to the mountain.

He held Deng Yuxiang's back with one arm and her legs with the other, carrying her horizontally in a princess carry.

This princess carry should have been romantic or indulgent.

Alas, the two of them were in a pitiful state.

Lu Ran was covered in sword wounds, and Deng Yuxiang was drenched in blood.

As Lu Ran walked, bloodstains flowed, staining the white snow red.

It was a tragic yet heroic sight.

As the two deities left, loud gasps of relief filled the martial arena.

People who had been mentally strained finally relaxed, collapsing awkwardly onto the snow with a sense of relief for having survived.

"What just happened?"

"It was terrifying, like I died once."

"Is Lu Tianjiao going to take Senior Disciple Deng away?"

"Huh?"

Amidst the chatter, everyone turned to look at the two bloodied figures on the martial arena.

"Manni," Lu Ran called out, "Moonlight Charm."

In the pine forest, tears welled up in Bai Manni's eyes, and her hands trembled as she formed the hand seal.

Curse Master Divine Art - Moonlight Charm!

This technique could infuse life force into the target, accelerating wound healing.

So... I can cast the spell now?

Forget it, since Lu Ran said so, it must be usable!

Bai Manni didn't want her boyfriend's sister to die, but not everyone had the courage to defy a deity.

Or rather, everyone revered and served the deities with utmost respect.

Lu Ran, who dared to challenge the deities and even rescue someone from their grasp, was an anomaly among anomalies.

Initially, when Lu Ran rescued the heavily injured Deng Yuxiang, Bai Manni didn't dare to cast spells.

This was Northwind City!

Lu Ran hadn't successfully negotiated with Hu Cheng, and everything was still unsettled.

If Bai Manni acted rashly, it might backfire.

Moreover, the Northwind disciples in the forest weren't pushovers!

Just because Lu Ran could do many things didn't mean Bai Manni had the ability and qualifications to do the same.

Next, when the two deities appeared, Bai Manni was even more afraid to use the Moonlight Charm!

For a moment, the Northwind deity even intended to take Deng Yuxiang's life personally!

How dare these insignificant human ants move a muscle?

But now, things were different!

After the deities left, Lu Ran spoke, clearly giving Bai Manni an order.

Even so, Bai Manni, who was trying her best to cast the spell, remained terrified.

She didn't know the full story.

But for Lu Ran's order, Bai Manni chose to obey unconditionally!

"Huff~"

One by one, 'moon' characters appeared, emitting a faint white light and surrounding Lu Ran.

"Lord Lu," Hu Cheng stood up, brushed the snow off his knees, and looked at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was friendly and nodded, "Lord Hu, this matter is settled. I'll be leaving now.

It was an honor to meet you today!"

As Lu Ran's words fell, the arena buzzed with discussions.

In truth, everyone had anticipated this outcome.

After all, with the two deities gone, Lu Ran had asked for the Moonlight Charm from a curse master believer outside the arena.

All signs indicated that the matter was truly concluded!

"The matter is settled? Lu Tianjiao says it's over?"

"Great! Senior Disciple Deng won't die!"

"Is this real? After all this, it's just ending like this? Is Lu Ran telling the truth?"

"You idiot! The statue of Northwind is right here, how dare Lu Ran lie?"

"Wow, so cool! He can even invite deities and actually save someone?"

"Senior Disciple Deng can really survive."

"Huh? He just left like that?"

Amidst the discussions, Hu Cheng coughed lightly.

In an instant, the entire arena fell silent.

Hu Cheng was about to speak when, not far away in the snow, Liao Wushuang stood up.

Her face was pale, and her voice trembled, "You..."

Everyone turned to look at Liao Wushuang.

She had always had white hair, and at this moment, her hair was disheveled, looking like a madwoman.

In a short time, Liao Wushuang's emotions went through a rollercoaster.

From extreme joy to tears, having a deity as her patron, to utter shock and surprise at the appearance of the Celestial Ram.

Then, to burning jealousy and cursing the Celestial Ram's arrival in her heart.

Liao Wushuang felt increasingly anxious, unsure if she would succeed, and in the end, Brother Ran still took action! When the Northwind Deity attempted to take Deng Yuxiang's life, Liao Wushuang's face was filled with mockery, and her heart was thrilled beyond measure!

But then, the Celestial Ram appeared again!

Liao Wushuang's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Deng Yuxiang.

Deng! Yu! Xiang!

How dare you?

Are you really unkillable?

Lu Ran was willing to risk everything to protect you?

Liao Wushuang couldn't imagine how much Lu Ran had paid.

After all, how could a deity easily appear in the mortal world?

For Lu Ran to invite the Celestial Ram once, pleading for him, was already shocking enough.

And he even invited the Celestial Ram a second time?!

At this stage of the incident, it had already gone beyond the incident itself.

Liao Wushuang seemed to have developed a mental demon, a persistent obsession.

She wanted a result!

However, Liao Wushuang's greatest support, the deity she revered in her heart, left just like that.

When he left, he didn't even glance at her.

The Northwind Deity was indeed cold and ruthless.

Deep down, he had never cared about the insignificant and lowly ants.

At this moment, as Liao Wushuang stared in disbelief, Lu Ran picked up Deng Yuxiang and walked away with her!

Her world,

Came crashing down.

"Take Liao Wushuang to rest." Hu Cheng raised his hand and gestured.

In the pine forest, eight Northwind disciples flew over swiftly and surrounded Liao Wushuang.

Their attire was unique, all wearing black tight-fitting clothes and black masks, hiding their faces.

They claimed to escort her, but from their posture,

It seemed more like an arrest.

Hu Cheng silently watched Liao Wushuang, his eyes dark and unclear.

Only when Lu Ran approached did Hu Cheng turn to look at the blood-stained figure: "It's an honor for Hu to meet the Mountain Lord today."

On the surface, Hu Cheng remained calm, but his heart was filled with endless admiration.

The reputation was well-deserved; the number one Tianjiao of Great Xia was truly extraordinary.

Lu Ran was willing to admit his mistake to the Northwind Sect.

He was also willing to bow down to the Northwind City Lord.

But Lu Ran was unwilling to persuade Deng Yuxiang to surrender in front of Liao Wushuang.

Nor was he willing to kneel and bow before the Northwind Deity.

In comparison, Hu Cheng was shocked and even more astonished.

But his expressionless face hid many emotions.

"Take care, City Lord. We'll meet again." Lu Ran nodded.

"We'll meet again." Hu Cheng also nodded slightly.

The two sect leaders passed by each other.

As the two leaders finished their negotiation, Hu Jiaojiao hurried over: "Let's go to the medical hall, I've already contacted the doctor!"

Lu Ran shook his head: "I can't stay here, I have to leave now."

Hu Jiaojiao understood the situation, her heart anxious: "Then I'll ask the doctor to come out of the city, let's go to the city gate!"

Lu Ran shook his head again: "She's a River Realm body, the River Grade Moonlight Charm is enough.

As long as it stops the bleeding, that's good. The moonlight has already infused life force into her body, and we can take care of her body later."

After speaking, Lu Ran turned to Deng Yutang, who had come over: "Go to your sister's residence and get our luggage.

Also, book the tickets on the way.

High-speed train tickets, anything is fine, let's go to the neighboring province, the soonest flight."

Although Lu Ran said "neighboring province," everyone understood the hidden meaning behind those words.

Deng Yutang's eyes reddened, and of course, he had no objections, nodding repeatedly: "Okay, I'll book it right now."

As Lu Ran walked away, he turned to look at Hu Jiaojiao, who was worried and anxious. He nodded slightly: "Ms. Hu."

"Huh?"

"I'm extremely grateful, go back, don't follow me too closely."

Lu Ran left half a sentence unspoken: It's not good for you to follow me.

"I..." Hu Jiaojiao opened her mouth, automatically ignoring many things, only hearing the words of gratitude.

She felt like she hadn't done anything.

Even bringing up Grandpa Cheng couldn't save her good friend's life.

And Lu Ran...

Hu Jiaojiao looked at Lu Ran's face, covered in dried blood, and in a daze, she remembered the scene from last night in the small grove, where he was smiling.

At that time, Hu Jiaojiao was quite annoyed by Lu Ran's attitude!

But today, Lu Ran turned his joking words into a promise.

And fulfilled it to the extreme!

Everything he could do, and couldn't do,

Lu Ran did it all!

He took action to save Deng Yuxiang, supporting her body full of sword wounds, lowering his proud head, and admitting his guilt to the Northwind Sect.

But this path was blocked.

When one plan failed, Lu Ran revealed his identity as the Celestial Ram Sect's Human World Sect Leader.

He lowered his head again, apologizing to the Northwind City Lord, just to save Deng Yuxiang's life.

But this path was also blocked.

When the Northwind Deity appeared, Hu Jiaojiao had already lost hope.

That was the deity Hu Jiaojiao revered, and she had never wanted to see a deity's manifestation as much as she did today.

But the Northwind had come, to be Liao Wushuang's patron.

The utterly hopeless Hu Jiaojiao knew her friend's fate was sealed.

There was no hope left.

But in the next moment, she saw a divine shadow rising from Lu Ran's body!

At that moment, Hu Jiaojiao's mind echoed Lu Ran's words:

"I bet your friend won't die!"

Last night, that person with a smile, speaking in jest.

Now, he was holding the heavily injured and unconscious Deng Yuxiang, walking out of the martial arena.

Under everyone's watchful eyes,

He strode out of Northwind City.

Thanks to Tmo29, Gong Qing Zhisheng, Jiangzhu Yuchao, and several other bosses for their rewards! Your support is greatly appreciated! May you all live long~Ula!
