Chapter 411: Subjects of the Dragon
Chapter 411: Subjects of the Dragon
After the thunderous sound in the sky subsided, Deng Yuxiang asked, "Mr. Yu, what is your exact cultivation realm?"
This question was somewhat impolite and could easily offend the other party.
But since Yu Changsheng had already decided to join the squad, Deng Yuxiang felt it necessary to get to know her teammate.
She didn't want Lu Ran to play the bad guy, so she asked the question herself.
Unexpectedly, Yu Changsheng replied straightforwardly, "Sea Realm, Fourth Level."
Lu Ran was startled, "Sea Realm, Fourth Level?"
He had assumed that Yu Changsheng was at the initial stage of the Sea Realm, but he didn't expect him to be at an advanced stage?
A whole realm higher than Deng Yuxiang?
Yu Changsheng looked at Lu Ran, whose eyes were shining with excitement, and smiled, "What's wrong?"
Lu Ran sincerely exclaimed, "I'm just amazed that Mr. Yu, at such a young age, has achieved so much."
Lu Ran was genuinely delighted!
He had picked up a real treasure, how could he not be happy?
Yu Changsheng couldn't help but smile, "I've wasted thirty-two years of my life, or maybe thirty-three?"
Yu Changsheng paused for a moment, then let out a soft sigh, "I forgot, it's probably this age."
He had stayed in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm for too long, and he had forgotten what year it was in the mortal world.
He had forgotten his own age.
"Thirty is the age to establish oneself and start a great undertaking!" Lu Ran winked at Yu Changsheng.
Lu Ran had always thought that Yu Changsheng was around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.
Thinking about it, these powerful human experts who could destroy heaven and earth were all impressive, and it was normal for them to appear young.
"In that case, you've established yourself quite early, Lu Xiaoyou," Yu Changsheng naturally understood.
Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang were believers of the Divine Sheep Deity, and the Divine Sheep Deity was the initiator of this entire plan.
That's why Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang could act so boldly and possess multiple identities.
Lu Ran continued, "Mr. Yu, I'm willing to arrange a path for you, but we should still be cautious.
If Mr. Yu wants to take this path, I'm afraid you'll have to first withdraw from the Dragon Carp Sect."
Yu Changsheng was intrigued, "What path do you plan to arrange for me, my friend?"
Lu Ran asked instead, "Is there any sect Mr. Yu prefers?"
Yu Changsheng's heart stirred, and he inquired, "Any sect of your choice?"
Lu Ran shrugged his shoulders.
This simple gesture conveyed a shocking message that could leave anyone speechless.
This young man had given Yu Changsheng too many surprises.
Yu Changsheng calmed his mind and spoke softly, "The Dragon Carp Sect."
Lu Ran was puzzled, "But Mr. Yu is already a believer of the Dragon Carp Sect?"
Yu Changsheng slowly shook his head, "No, I want to follow the Dragon Carp path you've arranged for me."
Lu Ran was stunned!
He opened his mouth, clearly unprepared for such sudden words.
Yu Changsheng stared at Lu Ran, observing him closely, and suddenly said, "You, young man, can indeed do it!"
Lu Ran: ". "
Yu Changsheng clenched his folding fan, "So, you can absorb the energy of the Night Fiend by killing the Night Fiend Clan, and you can also absorb the energy of the Dragon Carp Deity by killing Dragon Carp believers?"
Lu Ran's face turned into a bun of distress.
Is this really possible?
No! How could you?
Not far away, Deng Yuxiang spoke up to ease the tension, "We did hold back some information, as this matter is too shocking to reveal all at once.
However, we didn't plan to keep it a secret forever, just wanted to gradually disclose it to Mr. Yu."
Lu Ran changed the topic and apologized, "Arranging the Dragon Carp path is indeed quite challenging."
Dragon Carp believers are already scarce, and those who come to the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm are even rarer!
Moreover, Dragon Carp believers are known for their compassionate hearts.
If they didn't raise their blades against Lu Ran, how could he possibly kill his fellow believers without reason?
The Holy Spirit Qi descending from the heavens could cultivate the Dragon Carp Divine Sculpture in the garden, but Lu Ran still needed to cultivate the Fiery Heaven Divine Sculpture!
He couldn't afford to disrupt the growth plan, and Lu Ran urgently needed the qualification for "Transcendent Slaughter."
Lu Ran turned to Yu Changsheng and asked, "Mr. Yu, what do you think of the Ink Carp Clan?"
The Evil Ink Carp was the arch-nemesis of the Divine Dragon Carp.
There were some similarities in their skill sets.
Yu Changsheng's face softened, "What, are you reluctant to kill the followers of the Divine Dragon Carp?"
Lu Ran shrugged again.
The implication was clear.
"Haha," Yu Changsheng chuckled, not saying anything further.
Here was a man who dared to slay demons and even gods, yet hesitated to harm the followers of the Divine Dragon Carp.
Apparently, he wasn't someone who would go to any lengths for a so-called greater good.
Yu Changsheng was just pondering and getting to know the future leader when he heard Lu Ran say, "By the way, is there an Ink Carp Clan in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm?"
In the mortal realm, the Ink Carp Clan mainly appeared along coastal areas.
As for rivers, lakes, and other inland territories, this clan seemed to look down upon them?
Although they possessed the ability to fly, they rarely showed themselves inland, let alone in the mountains.
"Yes, there is a sea here," Yu Changsheng nodded, "I haven't traveled too far west, but if you continue eastward, you will eventually reach the ocean."
"There's a sea in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm?" Lu Ran was quite surprised, then became excited, "In that case, would you be willing to humble yourself and infiltrate the Ink Carp Clan?"
Yu Changsheng asked, "The price is that I have to sever my contract with the Divine Dragon Carp and abandon everything related to them?"
Lu Ran nodded, and a hint of longing appeared in his eyes.
Yu Changsheng suddenly smiled, "I was just asking, getting to know more about it. We can discuss this later."
Lu Ran: ". "
For a human to break a contract voluntarily required not only courage but also the risk of backlash!
Lu Ran realized that he had been a bit hasty.
He acted as if he hadn't heard Yu Changsheng's words and said, "Mr. Yu, you can indeed wait a bit.
After we return to the mortal realm, I'll plead with the Divine Sheep to solve the problem from a higher dimension and help you sever the master-servant contract.
This way, you can ensure the stability of your cultivation realm and avoid severe damage."
"Oh?" Yu Changsheng was slightly surprised.
There were many reasons for his hesitation, and backlash was a significant one.
Lu Ran gestured to the woman not far away, "She did it this way, and her state is stable, her realm is solid, and she hasn't dropped a rank."
Yu Changsheng looked at Deng Yuxiang, "What believer were you?"
Deng Yuxiang remained silent for a moment before whispering, "North Wind."
Yu Changsheng's heart stirred.
N
S
Was it just because their techniques were similar and easier to master? Or was it because...
Yu Changsheng vaguely sensed something but wasn't quite sure.
Just as he was pondering, Deng Yuxiang spoke up, "Master."
"Hmm?"
"When are we leaving?"
"Don't rush, you just advanced successfully. Let's stabilize your realm first."
"Yes," Deng Yuxiang replied.
Yu Changsheng looked at Deng Yuxiang with a meaningful gaze and then turned to Lu Ran, "Master?"
Lu Ran smiled, no longer in a hurry, "I've established the Flame Sect and plan to seek more like-minded individuals like Mr. Yu.
I'm waiting for the day when Mr. Yu acknowledges us!
Then, I'll make you a Guardian."
Once again, Yu Changsheng saw Lu Ran's vibrant and energetic smile.
This youth who suddenly barged into his life didn't hide his love for talent and his eagerness to recruit him.
He was also determined to take him on a brand-new path.
But the youth's smile... seemed a bit too bright.
It was like a brilliant beam of light piercing through the thick clouds that enveloped the heavens and earth, landing on the lifeless Holy Spirit Mountain Realm.
It illuminated his rotting bones.
For a moment, Yu Changsheng didn't want to hold back or examine further.
What was there to lose?
His life? But before meeting Lu Ran, wasn't he already rotting away?
"What's the meaning of the 'ran' character?" Yu Changsheng suddenly asked.
"The 'ran' in burning," Lu Ran leaned back and tried to lie on the lake surface, "My name is Lu Ran, named after the character in my name."
"The Flame Sect sounds quite fiery," Yu Changsheng played with the folding fan in his hand, nonchalantly, "Then make me a Guardian."
"Plop!"
Lu Ran paddled with his hands and stood up.
He looked at the Fourth Level Sea Realm Great Physician in surprise and delight, "Mr. Yu has decided to join us?"
This wasn't just joining a squad but actually joining the Flame Sect!
But hadn't Mr. Yu just declined the invitation earlier, saying they'd discuss it later?
Why the sudden change of heart? Yu Changsheng couldn't help but smile, "Who can resist the temptation of ascending to deityhood?"
Lu Ran chuckled, "That's true."
"Unless something unexpected happens, the Flame Sect doesn't have many members, right?"
"Well, currently, it's just the three of us."
Yu Changsheng didn't mind and casually fanned himself.
What man could resist the temptation of having a separate page in the clan registry? If he could achieve this wish one day, he would also be considered a Subject of the Dragon.
