Chapter 424: Twin Seas! Flame Gate Sect!
Chapter 424: Twin Seas! Flame Gate Sect!
When it comes to plastic bag removal, Lu Ran is a master.
Xun Yifei and Luo Ying were truly shocked, trying to process this astonishing news.
After a long while, Xun Yifei finally spoke, "Master, may I also join your sect and serve you from now on?"
Unconsciously, his address had changed.
"Of course you can," Lu Ran knew Xun Yifei's intention and added, "But for now, I don't want you to break your contract with Deity Yan Qing."
Xun Yifei hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, do you want a devoted believer? But this lady..."
His meaning was clear—Deng Yuxiang was both an Immortal Sheep disciple and a Night Charm believer.
Her current state of existence was to serve two masters.
Lu Ran shook his head, "The contract you signed on the altar is unequal. You are a deity's servant."
"A lowly servant doesn't have the right to break ties with their master.
If you forcefully break the contract, you will suffer severe backlash."
Lu Ran looked straight into Xun Yifei's eyes, "I heard you're at Sea Realm Second Stage. If you drop back to River Realm, or even lose the ability to cultivate and improve in the future, it'd be a great loss."
Xun Yifei started to say something, but Lu Ran waved his hand to interrupt, "Wait until we return to the mortal realm. I have a way to properly sever your contract with the deity."
Xun Yifei's heart raced, "Master, you have a way to lead us home?"
Under the expectant gaze of the couple, Lu Ran slowly shook his head, "Not yet."
Far away, Jing Hong, who was secretly excited, heard these words and couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment.
Lu Ran continued, "The path is one we forge ourselves."
However, these comforting words couldn't lift the spirits of the group.
Lu Ran casually summoned the bronze mirror and transformed it into a full-length mirror.
Sinister Mirror Technique·Flower and Moon Mirror!
He looked at the couple and said, "What if I steal enough power from the Sinister Mirror clan and continuously improve the grade of Flower and Moon Mirror?"
Luo Ying's eyes lit up!
Xun Yifei also understood instantly, "Can Flower and Moon Mirror take us back to the mortal realm?"
Lu Ran dispersed the mirror, "I can't give you a definite answer, but personally, I hold onto this hope."
Xun Yifei immediately asked, "Master, how do you steal the power of the Sinister Mirror clan?"
Lu Ran replied, "By slaying them."
Luo Ying nodded, a simple and brutal solution.
Lu Ran sighed inwardly, "What a great father."
Deng Yuxiang spoke up, "My existence has already proven to you that this path is possible. You don't need to cripple yourself."
Xun Yifei continued to look at Lu Ran, his eyes pleading.
Very persistent.
Yu Changsheng, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke, "If Brother Xun truly wants to do this for his child, he should maintain his strength to better protect them.
We've already provided sufficient evidence, and Brother Xun doesn't need to be stubborn.
Perhaps the biggest hurdle Brother Xun needs to overcome is himself."
Xun Yifei turned to look at Yu Changsheng.
Yu Changsheng smiled, "Your insistence on breaking the contract seems less about loving your child and more about deep guilt and a sense of debt.
You want to alleviate your guilt through this self-harming method?"
Xun Yifei's face changed instantly!
Lu Ran couldn't help but be surprised!
Wow, is there another perspective like this?
Moreover, Mr. Conglong is quite bold to say such things.
Yu Changsheng maintained his smile.
For some people, you need to speak bluntly and deeply wound them for them to wake up.
As for whether these words will offend,
It doesn't matter.
Xun Yifei and Luo Ying only need to show loyalty to the Sect Leader.
Furthermore, if the other party is reasonable and broad-minded, when Xun Yifei truly understands, he will be grateful for this advice.
Breaking the contract will not only drop you in rank but may also prevent you from progressing further.
Luo Ying gently patted Xun Yifei's shoulder, and the two knelt down together.
Heavenly Providence granted them a glimmer of hope.
Luo Ying chose to grasp it tightly!
And her way of expressing her attitude was also extreme, completely disregarding her identity as a Sea Realm powerhouse.
Luo Ying, together with Xun Yifei, followed Jing Hong's example and performed a respectful greeting.
Lu Ran immediately stepped forward, his heart filled with joy!
A huge profit!
Huge profit indeed!!
Now, even if we go to Mount Tiantou or Sword Peak, we'll have the confidence to face them!
He quickly helped the couple up, his tone friendly, "Let's get to know each other."
Deng Yuxiang quietly observed this scene, quite satisfied with the couple's attitude.
She always believed that as the leader of a sect, Lu Ran should hold an absolutely revered status.
Only then could he lead a team well.
In the mortal world, you can gather companions through grace and bonds.
But here, in the lawless Holy Spirit Mountain, relying solely on grace to unite people is not reliable enough.
You need to use benefits and authority.
"Whoosh!"
The gale gradually subsided, but the rain grew heavier.
Lu Ran patted Xun Yifei's shoulder and smiled, "I used to call you Uncle, but you're only in your early thirties."
Xun Yifei: "."
Even at thirty-something, calling you Uncle isn't a problem?
Lu Ran continued smiling, "You do look quite young, but your demeanor is too weathered. You deceived me back then."
Xun Yifei must have endured inner torment over the years, cultivating such a unique demeanor.
Luo Ying suggested, "Sect Leader, let's find a place to shelter from the rain and discuss further?"
This title of "Sect Leader" made Lu Ran feel incredibly pleased.
"Alright!" He immediately raised his hand and cast a spell.
As the teleportation mirror formed, he led everyone back to the secluded cave at the sea cliff, dozens of kilometers away.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded in the sky.
Lu Ran's expression changed slightly, not looking very good.
He approached the narrow cave entrance, gazing up at the rolling dark clouds, "You two go back and look after the children."
The couple was quite surprised, not expecting Lu Ran to consider this.
They exchanged glances, communicating with their eyes, and Xun Yifei bowed, "Sect Leader, I'll go back and check."
Lu Ran casually opened a mirror for Xun Yifei, connecting directly to the hidden valley bottom.
He didn't suggest a visit or ask if the children were home.
Given the couple's cautious nature, they might have hidden the children before setting out.
"Valley bottom," Lu Ran said, only these two words, and said no more.
Xun Yifei hesitated for a moment but still entered with his head down.
"Your children are too young to sign a contract," Lu Ran dismissed the teleportation mirror.
Children cannot sign contracts because their fragile bodies cannot withstand the mysterious power from the outside world.
Once they accept divine energy into their bodies, it can affect their growth and development, or even cause disabilities.
"Sect Leader, I know," Luo Ying removed her rain hat, responding softly.
As she took off her hat, her long braided hair fell down.
The last time Lu Ran saw her, her hair was flowing, but now, with this hairstyle, she had a bit of the look of Deity Asha.
However, Luo Ying's appearance with bright eyes and white teeth, and her natural beauty, was quite different.
Because Deity Asha's appearance... well, it was just average.
Lu Ran turned and leaned against the cave entrance, gazing at the stormy sea, "Since you two have chosen to join us, we'll do our best to help and protect them as they grow up."
Luo Ying looked at Lu Ran's back, grateful, "Thank you, Sect Leader."
Lu Ran added, "Perhaps, before that day arrives, we might be able to return to the mortal world."
Luo Ying didn't respond.
The once-held hopes and fantasies had long been completely extinguished through the days of repetition.
Lu Ran was still young and had only recently arrived in this realm, so Luo Ying understood his lingering hope.
Regardless, Lu Ran possessed an astonishing ability, and his existence could solve significant problems for her family!
Luo Ying lowered her eyes, clutching the brim of her rain hat.
"Are there really immortal islands at sea? And a large amount of Holy Spirit Qi on those islands?" Lu Ran changed the subject.
Luo Ying organized her words and replied, "Several Yan Qing disciples once ventured out to sea in search, but they fled back, bringing this news.
Subsequently, the two nearby powers joined forces and set out together.
Judging by the outcome, this news is likely true."
Lu Ran gazed at the boundless sea, sighing, "Those Yan Qing disciples were truly brave to venture out to sea?"
Luo Ying spoke softly, "Perhaps, they also wanted to go home. With no way to the heavens and no path to the earth, they chose the sea."
"Mr. Conglong."
"Sect Leader?"
"Should we go and see?" Lu Ran asked.
Now, the Flame Sect has two Sea Realm Powerhouses joining!
Even if one has to stay behind to watch the children, the other is enough to make the Flame Sect's battle prowess soar!
We can certainly venture out to sea!
Yu Changsheng responded, "The Holy Spirit Qi that fell into the mountain is being collected by many humans and demons.
Although there are demons in the sea, their numbers are relatively fewer."
Lu Ran nodded in agreement.
Yu Changsheng continued, "The demons in the sea can fly and land, but their nature is to prefer staying in the water.
It's possible that some Holy Spirit Qi has fallen onto certain islands and has been accumulating there."
Lu Ran's gaze penetrated the layers of rain, looking at the turbulent sea, and murmured,
"Mr. Conglong, you've touched my heart's desire."
