Chapter 434: Broken Dao Heart
Chapter 434: Broken Dao Heart
Lu Ran, observing Yan Shuangzi's excitement, asked through a secret voice transmission, "What cultivation realm is she in?"
"River Realm Fifth Stage," Deng Yuxiang replied, also looking down at Yan Shuangzi with a complex expression.
"What?"
River Realm Fifth Stage?
Lu Ran had indeed noticed that Yan Shuangzi's energy fluctuations were weak, but he had always assumed it was because her body was too frail.
He never imagined that Yan Shuangzi was in the River Realm.
There was a time when Yan Shuangzi could rival Deng Yuxiang, and even surpass her!
But now, with Deng Yuxiang returning to her hometown and staying in the small Rain Alley City, Yan Shuangzi remained in North Wind City.
Not everyone had the qualifications to stay in the holy land.
The presence of the deity's true form, the dense energy between heaven and earth, and the guidance of the sect's elders all contributed to a promising future. Indeed, Yan Shuangzi's development had been remarkable.
She became the only one to successfully challenge the Divine Ruins, and among the younger generation of the North Wind Sect, she stood out as an outstanding talent. But look at her now!
Deng Yuxiang has reached the River Realm Fourth Stage, and her mental state is stable, steadily advancing towards the peak of the River Realm."
Yan Shuangzi, on the other hand, is only at the pathetic River Realm Fifth Stage.
"She dropped a stage," Deng Yuxiang said with a complex expression. "Frosty once reached the River Realm Second Stage, but that was a long time ago."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ran's heart grew heavier.
Deng Yuxiang leaned down and gently caressed Yan Shuangzi's back, "She said that when she first entered this realm, she was busy trying to survive."
"She dodged and hid for who knows how long, with no time or energy to think too much."
"Until one day, she was lucky enough to meet a North Wind disciple, and together with the team, she returned to Blade Ridge Peak. Then, amidst various lies and deceptions, she worked hard to cultivate and grow for a period of time."
"After that, she repeatedly confirmed that the deity and the demon were in cahoots."
"Her faith crumbled, and she gradually sank into depression, drifting along in a daze."
Lu Ran listened intently, sighing inwardly.
Yan Shuangzi's Dao heart was indeed shattered.
When she severed the covenant, she must have suffered severe backlash and immense damage.
With her foundation already weakened, and with constant suppression, imprisonment, and torment, how could her cultivation realm possibly remain stable?
The River Realm, this realm, doesn't have high requirements for the mental state of the followers.
In other words, Yan Shuangzi's mental state wasn't the issue.
Yan Shuangzi, indeed, was of the same kind as the Great Nightmare.
Lu Ran handed over the Tranquil Night Sword, "You've already formed a covenant with the Evil Dog Demon Sculpture. You now have ears, a nose, and I'll lend you an eye."
As a divine weapon, Tranquil Night has a unique perspective on the world.
As long as Yan Shuangzi holds the sword, the sword spirit can transmit information to her.
Tranquil Night, by nature, prefers tranquility, so Lu Ran wouldn't ask for too much. As long as it can remind Yan Shuangzi at critical moments, that's enough.
In terms of temperament, Lu Ran is more suitable to lend out the Radiant Light Sword.
But Radiant Light has a realm!
In this dangerous world, Lu Ran might activate the Divine Weapon Realm·Luminous Clouds at any moment.
As for the Tranquil Night Sword, it's blocked by another divine weapon at the crossroads, preventing it from venturing further.
Who knows where that weapon is now.
Lu Ran lends Yan Shuangzi a divine weapon, and there's another reason: She's a blade master, and without a suitable weapon, how can she fight?
Lu Ran doesn't have much, but he has plenty of blades!
"There are many evil people in the Holy Spirit Mountain, and they've stolen and taken many divine weapons and weapon embryos.
Once we capture the divine weapons, you can return this eye to me."
"Yes!" Yan Shuangzi tightly gripped the Tranquil Night Sword, following the order.
She was well aware of the gap between herself and the others.
To follow the Flame Gate Sect on missions, she indeed needed a divine weapon to assist her.
Deng Yuxiang transmitted again, "Frosty's weapon hasn't been lost or damaged; it was allocated to other North Wind disciples by Elder Xing."
Lu Ran's face turned cold, "Fine, when we gather our strength and return to take back what's ours, we'll get the sword back!"
He paused and transmitted again, "The contract I signed with Yan Shuangzi isn't a master-servant contract; it's an inheritance contract like yours. Talk to her more and share your experiences."
】
【Okay, can I communicate with Shuangzi through sound transmission?】
【I'm afraid not. You two are colleagues and independent individuals. Well, why don't you give it a try?】
【Okay, I'll try.】 Deng Yuxiang pondered, with a certain conclusion in mind.
Both of them were like sculptures within the Demon Sculpture Garden, standing tall in Lu Ran's spiritual world.
As the master, Lu Ran should be able to communicate with each sculpture.
However, there shouldn't be any connection between the sculptures, right?
"Firm Your Path, Return to the River Realm Soon!" Lu Ran expressed his expectations to Yan Shuangzi, "On the day you find your brilliance and gain my approval, I'll grant you the position of a Guardian."
Who exactly is Yan Shuangzi?
She is a proud warrior, a replica of Deng Yuxiang!
Although Lu Ran hasn't interacted much with Yan Shuangzi, he understands Deng Yuxiang too well and knows how to cater to her needs.
Poor Sister Xian, she's going to have to move to the back row again~
"Yes!" Yan Shuangzi tightly hugged the Tranquil Night Sword with one hand, her voice deep and calm.
Yu Changsheng, who was quietly observing on the side, couldn't help but nod in agreement.
As expected!
Mental illness must be treated by the Sect Leader.
Coincidentally, Lu Ran turned his head to look at Yu Changsheng.
Yu Changsheng nodded immediately.
He had already realized that the young Sect Leader was somewhat soft-hearted, probably wanting Luo Ying to return early to be with their children.
Although Lu Ran never said it aloud, his actions spoke volumes.
For example, when he heard thunder, Lu Ran first thought of the children and asked the couple to return to be with them.
At that time, Yu Changsheng believed that Lu Ran was using a clever strategy to gather hearts.
Of course, we can't rule out this possibility now.
But Yu Changsheng is more inclined to believe that this is truly Lu Ran's heartfelt desire.
"Is there anything else to prepare?" Lu Ran looked at everyone, "Then let's set off now."
As he spoke, he summoned the Bronze Mirror.
Yu Changsheng followed the group as they marched, deep in thought.
Xun Yifei and Luo Ying, the couple, had finally found a peaceful and hidden residence, so moving was out of the question.
Currently, the Flame Gate Sect heavily relies on the couple.
So, should we find a base for the Flame Gate Sect by the sea?
Now that the sect has new members, it's foreseeable that the Flame Gate Sect will only grow stronger!
After all, Lu Ran possesses a unique ability and has demonstrated sufficient personal charm.
The Cliffside Cave is a bit small and too crude.
Thinking of this, Yu Changsheng looked towards Luo Ying in the group, "You mentioned that there are two forces on your side that ventured into the sea a long time ago, right?"
"Yes."
"How well-built are their bases?" Yu Changsheng asked as he walked towards the Ground Mirror.
Luo Ying immediately responded, "After we return, I can guide you, and we can go see it together."
Lu Ran, "So Mr. Dragon wants to establish a base by the sea?"
Yu Changsheng smiled and nodded, "Our forces are growing daily, and we should have our own foothold. What does the Sect Leader think?"
Lu Ran nodded thoughtfully and then summoned another mirror, "It's best to be close to the sea."
"Why?" Yu Changsheng was puzzled.
The sea is dangerous, and you never know when a raging sea monster might appear.
"I told Mr. Dragon that I can draw power from the demon gods."
"So?" Yu Changsheng's face showed a probing expression.
Lu Ran smiled mysteriously, "So I can do what the demon gods can."
Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment and then said, "Please, Sect Leader, make it clear."
Lu Ran shrugged, "I can create demon minions."
Yu Changsheng, "Ah?"
The rest of the group were all shocked, their eyes fixed on Lu Ran.
But Lu Ran had a matter-of-fact expression, "I can summon the Night Charm Clan to guard the mountains and the Inkfish Clan to guard the sea."
Yu Changsheng: !!!
Lu Ran naturally noticed the gazes of the group.
Sigh.
No matter when or where, taking out a plastic bag can make one feel refreshed.
So comfortable~
Lu Ran continued, "As of now, I've drawn the most power from the Demon God·Ink Carp.
I can summon the River Realm·Inkfish Clan!"
Yu Changsheng followed Lu Ran's train of thought, "Sect Leader, do you plan to have the Inkfish Clan occupy a sea area, guarding our base while helping you gather the power of the Holy Spirit Realm?"
"Yes!" Lu Ran nodded.
Yu Changsheng quieted down, processing this astonishing news.
At the rear of the group, Yan Shuangzi, who was silently following, couldn't help but clench the sword sheath tightly.
Even the summoned demons are from the River Realm?
Then what about my River Realm?
Yu Changsheng calmed his mind and asked, "Sect Leader, how many demon minions can you summon?"
Lu Ran hesitated, "To be honest, I've never summoned a large number of demons recklessly, so I'm not sure of the upper limit."
Lu Ran hesitated, "To be honest, I've never summoned a large number of demons recklessly, so I'm not sure what the upper limit is."
"I'll try after we return."
Yu Changsheng continued, "Then, Sect Leader, when you summon the demons, is there a distance limit for controlling them?"
Lu Ran smiled, "You misunderstand, Mr. I can't control the demons, but I can command them, so there's no distance restriction."
Yu Changsheng's eyes lit up, "Absolute loyalty?"
Lu Ran held the exquisite Bronze Mirror and spoke words that made everyone's thoughts surge, their hearts pounding:
"Of course, I am the master of the demons."
