Chapter 409: First, Make a Note in the Little Notebook

"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your assistance!"

Lu Ran gathered his awkward smile, clasped his fists, and sincerely expressed his gratitude.

But Yu Changsheng didn't seem to accept his gratitude, smiling as he said, "Consider it a reward for your loyalty."

Lu Ran: "..."

Three sentences, and not one of them without mentioning loyalty?

What a pitiful fellow, to have been betrayed so badly.

Besides, if there's a reward, it should be for the Great Nightmare, not you, an outsider.

Yu Changsheng lightly fanned himself with a paper fan, gazing into the distance, "Looking around, the Holy Spirit Mountain is filled with ugly faces, and ungrateful people are everywhere."

Yu Changsheng hasn't seen someone like you in a long time, someone who disregards life and death and loyally protects his master.

Lu Ran: ???

Loyally protect what?

Do you really think I'm a dog?

Deng Yuxiang's expression turned sour.

She wasn't aware of what had happened outside the mountain, but from Mr. Yu's words, it was clear that Lu Ran had gone through a lot.

Moreover, for Lu Ran to be in such a desperate escape, the opponent's strength must be extremely powerful! Deng Yuxiang placed her hand on Lu Ran's shoulder, gripping it slightly, "Who attacked just now?"

Lu Ran casually replied, "A few Sword Sect First Rank disciples, nothing to worry about."

Yu Changsheng surveyed Lu Ran up and down, his smile growing even brighter.

What an interesting fellow.

After experiencing so much, he speaks of it so lightly.

Is he afraid of worrying this beautiful lady too much? Judging from the dangerous situation just now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for her to be worried!

"Sword Sect First Rank disciples." Deng Yuxiang muttered.

Lu Ran immediately said, "We can talk about that later. First, let's thank Mr. Yu for saving us."

The reason he spoke so casually was indeed to prevent Deng Yuxiang from worrying too much, but the fundamental reason was that Lu Ran was full of confidence!

Lu Ran could take Deng Yuxiang away at any time.

However, he wanted to hold on a little longer, to buy more time for Deng Yuxiang.

Since she had entered Ascension Mode, three days had passed, and she could break through at any moment!

The heavens did not disappoint those with determination! Lu Ran had done it! So, although the ending was a desperate escape, he was still satisfied.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for saving us. This favor will be remembered!" Deng Yuxiang clasped her fists towards the Lake Prince.

Yu Changsheng casually waved his folding fan, but when he faced Deng Yuxiang, he had a different tone, "It's a pity that two living people just died like that."

Deng Yuxiang didn't think he was speaking nonsense; instead, she felt there was a hidden meaning in his words.

Two "living" people?

Yu Changsheng glanced at Lu Ran, obviously more interested in the dog.

He could tell that although the woman's cultivation realm was higher and stronger, in this pair, the Evil Dog Youth was the dominant one.

Yu Changsheng opened his mouth, "Lu Ran, don't you want to explain?"

"Hey~" Lu Ran chuckled, "Who doesn't have a little secret these days?"

Yu Changsheng smiled enigmatically, "Then, let's wait until you return."

Kill and silence him?

Don't joke around; Lu Ran isn't the type to repay kindness with enmity.

But Lu Ran was clearly a Divine Sheep Follower, and he had even bleated at Yu Changsheng before, yet now he had exposed his Evil Dog Technique.

How could he explain this?

Lu Ran's enemies knowing he was an Evil Dog Follower wasn't a problem.

After all, in every battle, he had always presented himself as an Evil Dog Disciple.

Lu Ran had also exposed the Puppet Shadow Technique · Puppet Eye, but without exception, those who were affected by it were all slaughtered by Lu Ran! Even their souls were collected by Lu Ran, devoured without a trace, ensuring their safety.

But the person before him...

Yu Changsheng lightly fanned himself, smiling as he waited, not in a hurry.

Suddenly, Lu Ran spoke, "Mr. Yu, let's talk about it when we return.

The Sword Sect First Rank disciples have unleashed their ultimate move on the battlefield, and when they exhaust their strength, I plan to go back and take a look."

Deng Yuxiang's heart trembled!

Among the Sword Sect's divine techniques, there were only two that could be called "grand skills."

The one that could exhaust the caster's strength was undoubtedly the Sea Realm's Divine Technique · Frost Heaven Sword Cascade!

In other words, Lu Ran had just been fighting a Sea Realm powerhouse?

She immediately turned to look at Lu Ran.

But Lu Ran seemed to have anticipated this, reaching out to hold her wrist and giving it a light squeeze.

It was both a reassurance and a way to stop Deng Yuxiang from speaking.

Yu Changsheng said, "Dong Fang Ning isn't a fool. She seems to be in a fit of rage, but she has a way out.

Since she couldn't find you, she has probably returned to Sword Mountain Peak by now."

Lu Ran insisted, "Let's go and see, and then we'll come back to visit Mr. Yu, is that okay?"

A life-and-death grudge had been formed, and neither side had any reason to be merciful.

Yu Changsheng gave Lu Ran a meaningful look, and after a moment, he smiled, "Do as you please, Lu Ran."

Lu Ran also smiled, "Mr. Yu, aren't you afraid we won't come back?"

"Sword Mountain Peak is filled with experts, and there are numerous Sword Sect First Rank disciples." Yu Changsheng slowly submerged into the lake, "Just don't come back, and that's fine."

Lu Ran: "..."

The language of Daxia is indeed profound and vast~

"Swoosh—" He ducked his head and dashed into the forest.

"Swoosh—" Deng Yuxiang's feet emitted divine mist, and she immediately followed.

It wasn't until the two of them had entered the depths of the forest that Lu Ran finally opened a Floor Mirror.

At this moment, he wasn't sure if this action was unnecessary.

Lu Ran's mind was in disarray, and he needed some time to sort through his thoughts and make a decision.

The two of them, one after the other, walked into the mirror and arrived in a snow-covered forest.

Deng Yuxiang's expression was grave as she gazed into the distance.

The snow-capped mountain that had stood tall before was now in ruins.

It was hard to imagine what kind of devastating power could have destroyed a towering mountain to such an extent.

"Alas," Lu Ran sighed, "no wonder it's called the Holy Spirit Mountain. Even if we had no grudges in the past or recently, as long as we advance in this realm, it's a huge sin."

"Little Lu Ran," the sudden change in address caught Lu Ran off guard.

"What?" Lu Ran asked in confusion.

But Deng Yuxiang didn't know what to say, she just looked at him, her eyes filled with complexity.

On his cheek, the wound inflicted by the sword blade had already scabbed over.

She knew that this small wound was just the tip of the iceberg.

Deng Yuxiang's silence was terrifying. Despite being a beautiful woman, she seemed like a wild beast on the verge of going berserk.

Self-blame, heartache, and anger...

Her eyes kept shifting, making Lu Ran's heart race, and he quickly advised, "We should focus on the important matters."

"Hmm," Deng Yuxiang followed the order and took two steps forward.

Through the not-so-dense snowstorm, she saw the destroyed forest in the distance.

Deng Yuxiang spoke in a deep voice, "The opponent must have been using the Frost Heaven Sword Cascade on their return journey. We should be able to find the enemy by following the path of the destroyed forest."

"Let's go and take a look," Lu Ran nodded immediately.

The two of them chased after the enemy, climbing mountains and crossing valleys.

After a long time, they followed the path of the destroyed forest and indeed found the lair of the Sword Sect First Rank Disciple, the Sword Peak.

This mountain was exceptionally tall and majestic!

The clouds could only swirl around the middle of the mountain, while the peak pierced through the clouds and reached towards the sky.

Among the numerous mountains, the Sword Peak stood out like a crane among chickens!

It seemed to fit the positioning of the Sword Sect First Rank?

As Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang stood in the snow-covered forest, gazing at the distant Sword Peak, the rumbling sound continued.

The power and energy reserves of the Sea Realm Powerhouse were truly astonishing!

Dong Fang Ning's ultimate technique had not ended yet.

The magnificent Frost Heaven Sword Cascade descended from the sky, striking a specific area according to the owner's guidance.

The heavens and earth rumbled!

[There's no chance.] Lu Ran transmitted his thoughts.

Once Dong Fang Ning's energy was exhausted, the Sword Sect First Rank Disciples within the Sword Peak would surely come out to greet her.

[Hmm.] Deng Yuxiang, expressionless, responded in a low voice.

[Let's consider it as map exploration.] Lu Ran responded, but deep down, he couldn't swallow this.

He had an urge to sneak into the Sword Peak at night and give that Sea Realm Powerhouse a good lesson!

No matter how long you can last, I don't believe you can keep it up until the middle of the night!

At that time, you'll be weak and helpless, at the mercy of others, right?

However, his rationality suppressed Lu Ran's impulsive thoughts.

Sneaking into the lair of the Sword Sect First Rank would be as difficult as climbing to heaven!

At the very least, Lu Ran knew that the Sword Sect First Rank Disciples had slaves, and those Ice Butterfly Disciples possessed perception techniques, making it a tricky situation!

And that was just what Lu Ran knew.

What if there were believers from other sects enslaved within the Sword Peak?

With the various divine techniques of different sects, Lu Ran could easily fall into a trap!

[We shouldn't stay here for long.] Lu Ran immediately cast a spell and summoned the Floor Mirror.

Strength, strength...

Lu Ran retreated into the Floor Mirror, taking one last look at the Sword Peak piercing through the clouds.

This grudge, I'll make a note of it.

You wait...

[Nightmare, I plan to try recruiting Yu Changsheng. What do you think?]



[He's very strong, and his addition will significantly enhance our combat power.] Deng Yuxiang pondered for a moment and added, [But do you trust his character? And will he accept your identity?]



[I'll give it a try. By the way, let's return to the battlefield and search. I killed two Sword Sect First Rank Disciples, and I'm not sure if their bodies are still there.]



[Hmm.]



At noon, in the high mountain and lake area, two figures emerged from the forest.

Lu Ran looked at the calm lake surface and called out, "Mr. Yu?"

The lake water rippled gently.

Slowly, Yu Changsheng emerged, "You're back?"

Lu Ran nodded, "You were right, Mr. That woman values her life and has returned to her lair."

Yu Changsheng was not surprised by this outcome.

He smiled at Lu Ran, his eyes full of amusement, "Since you're back, you must have prepared your words and thought of how to deceive me."

Lu Ran: ". . ."

"Hahahaha!" Yu Changsheng laughed at Lu Ran's unnatural expression.

Lu Ran awkwardly clasped his hands, "Mr. is truly a remarkable person."

Yu Changsheng smiled, "You, a disciple of the Evil Demon Sect, stop flattering me."

Lu Ran pretended not to hear and walked towards the cold water lake, "Is the pool cold today?"

Yu Changsheng: ???

Pool?

Do you think I'm taking a bath here?

Lu Ran stepped into the lake, feeling the icy chill, "Mr. Yu, what's your opinion on the gods?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng's smile gradually faded.

What's my opinion on the gods?

Little friend, you dare to ask such a question; your thoughts are dangerous!

Hmm... I like it!
