Lu Ran was startled in his heart.

In his mind, Deng Yuxiang was undoubtedly a formidable martial artist.

Always radiant and valiant.

When had Lu Ran ever seen her in such a disarray?

"Okay!" Lu Ran said solemnly.

At this moment, Lu Ran didn't even ask himself how he could help her.

The experience of fighting side by side and sharing life-and-death situations in the past supported Lu Ran in uttering that word.

Deng Yuxiang seemed not to expect that Lu Ran would agree so readily.

But she was obviously in a hurry, said nothing, and just grabbed Lu Ran's arm, causing turbulence under her feet.

"Whoosh~"

Lu Ran was directly yanked out from the window, which clattered open and shut continuously.

Lu Ran looked down at two Moon Gazers, "Keep the window locked for me, don't let the cat run out! Thanks!"

"Okay!" the Prisoner Demon believers responded loudly, watching the two fly into the vast night sky.

"Lu Ran..." Chen Jing murmured softly, naturally hearing the young man's name from Deng Yuxiang's earlier shout.

He quickly walked to the window and casually said, "Is it that top student from the first high school in Rain Alley?"

The Prisoner Demon believer also walked over, "The one who could make the patrol team come for help...

Must be that special Immortal Sheep Believer."

While speaking, the man summoned blood-colored chains through the window, twisting the handle and locking the window firmly.

Meanwhile, in the night sky,

Lu Ran, dragged by the wrist, flew at high speed: "Sister, what happened?"

Deng Yuxiang suddenly tightened her grip, pulling Lu Ran into her embrace. "Yin Flower, have you heard of it?"

Lu Ran furrowed his brow: "Yin Flower Dan?"

The Evil Demon·Yin Flower was quite a rare species of Evil Demon.

Because their attire resembled the opera roles of female Dan characters, they were also colloquially known as "Yin Flower Dan" or "Ghost Flower Dan" among other names.

In terms of rarity, it might even be scarcer than the Yan Zhi.

Regarding its level of danger, the Yin Flower Clan was on par with the Night Charm Clan; their dwelling, the Demon Cave, was completely closed to outsiders.

"River Realm·Fifth Rank, Yin Flower Dan," Deng Yuxiang's eyes darkened as she whispered, "The sound of the wind and rain tonight is too loud, I...

You help me find her."

Lu Ran fell silent for a moment, then softly consoled, "Don't blame yourself, Sister.

The Yin Flower Dan can make her body ethereal, moving almost without sound."

Unlike the Ghost Talisman Doll, the Yin Flower Dan doesn't have "yellow paper".

She is far stronger than the Ghost Talisman Doll; she does as she pleases without any constraints.

"Can you find her?" Deng Yuxiang's arms tightened slightly, "Just like last time, when you found the Ghost Talisman Doll."

Lu Ran: "I will do my utmost."

A gale whistling past their ears, the two swept across from West River, flying eastward over the rolling Wu Lie River.

Along the way, the sounds of battle were everywhere, continuous roars, annoying and disturbing.

Lu Ran still couldn't resist asking, "Sister, has a companion been injured...uh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Big Nightmare's arm suddenly tightened, painfully squeezing Lu Ran.

"Stay calm," Lu Ran said.

Deng Yuxiang's arm loosened slightly, silently staring at the night ahead, speeding through.

Lu Ran's heart also raced.

Captain Sun, the Wei brothers, Wei Long and Wei Hu.

One familiar face after another flashed through his mind...

"Our team was ordered to go and assist," Deng Yuxiang suddenly said, "Captain Sun was ambushed and severely injured, his life and death uncertain."

Lu Ran's heart sank.

Thinking of Captain Sun, who had taken such good care of him, Lu Ran's anger soared.

Soon, Deng Yuxiang led Lu Ran downward.

Lu Ran looked carefully and saw a residential area.

The road outside the entrance of the community was thoroughly shattered and full of deep pits; the trees along the street were uprooted, creating a mess.

In the middle of the road, a group of Moon Gazers stood by.

They either floated in mid-air or stood on tree branches, hovering.

Everyone dared not land because the ethereal Evil Demon·Yin Flower Dan was likely hiding underground.

Lu Ran scanned around and was shocked to see more than ten Moon Gazers!

"Until the Yin Flower Dan is completely eliminated, we can't leave," Deng Yuxiang stated gravely.

Lu Ran pursed his lips, understanding what Deng Yuxiang meant as he looked at the residential area.

Once the Moon Gazers left, the Yin Flower Dan might wreak havoc anywhere.

As long as this group remained, the Yin Flower Dan, still wanting to kill them, was unlikely to leave.

"Whoosh!"

A man and woman rapidly plummeted, also stopping mid-air.

The group of Moon Gazers, on alert, drew their weapons and scanned the reinforcements.

Lu Ran, drenched, in shorts and a T-shirt, and barefoot, had rain dripping from his toes.

Clearly, he had been summoned hastily without any preparation.

"Little Deng!" from a nearby tree, Wei Long tossed over a Horse-cutting Great Saber.

Deng Yuxiang caught it with one hand, her expression growing even darker: "Listen."

And Lu Ran at that moment...

His mouth slightly open, gazing stunned at a figure under a distant tree.

Due to the angle of descent, Lu Ran had not noticed the figure under the tree before.

Now, through the Pupil of the Netherworld, Lu Ran clearly saw an ethereal shadow.

Fortunately, that soul was not Sun Zhengfang.

That meant Captain Sun had most likely been rescued.

Otherwise, his soul might have been wandering on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, this ethereal shadow was probably a Moon Gazer.

At the moment, the man stood under the tree with his head lowered, his expression somber, unwilling to leave for a long time.

As if he had too many attachments to this world.

And he still lingered here, as if wanting to accompany these "bait" comrades through their last journey.

Hoping, before his soul dissipated, to witness the crushing of the Yin Flower Dan.

"Huh?" The man suddenly felt a suction force, abruptly looked up, and stared in a slanted upward direction.

Instantly, their eyes met.

The man's eyes widened, utterly astonished.

He was not surprised by Lu Ran's appearance, but because Lu Ran was different from everyone else!

This young man... could clearly see him!

"Can... can you see me?" the man stammered.

Lu Ran's expression was complex as he gently nodded, the movement almost imperceptible.

Not only could he see.

Divine Technique·Pupil of the Netherworld had led Lu Ran into a new dimension, also enabling him to hear the other's words.

"You... me..." the man stammered.

His soul, unable to control itself, slowly drifted towards Lu Ran's dead-looking horizontal pupils.

"Can you save me?" the man's soul grew closer, his voice trembling more.

His pair of ethereal palms tried to grasp Lu Ran's body but clutched at nothing.

Again and again, he grasped at nothing.

His soul gradually contracted and flowed into Lu Ran's eyes.

"I don't want to leave, help me! I don't want to die... I don't..."

The plaintive cries continuously resounded, growing fainter and fainter.

Lu Ran pursed his lips, his expression somber.

He couldn't save this Moon Gazer.

He could only comfort himself by adhering to what Lord Immortal Goat had said, to accompany the other on his last journey.

At least in the God Demon Sculpture Garden, this person could depart without pain.

If he had stayed in the world, his soul would eventually dissipate.

Or worse, encounter a sudden appearance of some special Evil Demon and suffer cruel torture again.

"Heh..."

Lu Ran sighed deeply, the man's pleading face lingering in his mind.

Lord Immortal Goat had indeed warned Lu Ran when imparting this method.

It had said: "You will see souls angry, crying, attached, and sorrowful..."

And when Lu Ran personally faced this scene, he realized he was not ready.

The man's cries and pleas still echoed in Lu Ran's ears, making it hard for him to calm down.

That was the intense longing for life, the profound attachment to this worldly existence.

"Lu Ran, how is it?" a voice came from not far away.

"Shh!" Deng Yuxiang's expression was grim as she gave a silencing gesture.

A Moon Gazer's expression stiffened, but he remained silent.

In such a battlefield, everyone's emotions were extremely heavy, like powder kegs.

Lu Ran: "Yin Flower Dan's shadow is ethereal, how do you plan to kill her?"

Deng Yuxiang: "Tell me her exact location, and I will shred her with the storm."

Lu Ran gestured towards the far shattered ground and scattered wood: "Like that."

"Hm." Deng Yuxiang's eyes darkened.

Were it not for a shred of rationality, she would have already turned the whole street upside down.

She didn't care about financial losses and was very willing to vent her anger.

The problem was, during the storm's onset, the safety of her comrades was a big concern!

Amidst the chaos, Yin Flower Dan might appear at any moment and ambush everyone.

"Take me down," Lu Ran said softly, "closer to the ground."

"Okay!" Deng Yuxiang drifted downward.

"Little Deng!"

"Miss Deng?" Seeing this scene, everyone began to speak.

Lu Ran pressed his hand down, signaling everyone to be quiet, his bare feet stepping onto the icy asphalt.

Lu Ran took a step forward: "I remember the Yin Flower Dan has a Spiritual Defense Technique.

If I call her out, it won't work, right?"

Deng Yuxiang clenched Lu Ran's arm tightly: "Yes.

And the Yin Flower Clan is quite intelligent; we've all tried, and provocation is useless."

The two walked on the shattered asphalt road, step by step, until they reached the edge of a deep pit...

Suddenly, both man and woman turned their heads simultaneously, looking to the right.

Everyone tensely followed their gaze but saw several Blood Disaster Dogs forming.

Instantly, a slew of Divine Techniques was unleashed.

The battle started in a moment, and amidst the roaring sounds, Lu Ran suddenly twitched his nose.

"Sniff~"

"Sister!" Lu Ran's voice was urgent.

"Where?" Deng Yuxiang slightly crouched.

"You don't move first, she seems to be right behind us, diagonally below the ground," Lu Ran whispered.

Killing intent filled Deng Yuxiang's eyes!

However, Lu Ran had gathered more information.

He realized that about ten meters ahead, there might emerge a shadow of Yin Flower Dan.

But that wasn't the Evil Demon's actual body; it should be the Evil Technique·Yin Flower Shadow!

Lu Ran's knowledge was sufficient; he knew the Yin Flower Clan had this bait-like technique.

He had to admit, Yin Flower Dan was indeed very intelligent!

Not only overcoming her killing nature, waiting till the battle started and the noise surged, but also being cunning and cautious enough!

Having waited till now, with such an opportune moment, she still wanted to create a diversion, using a decoy?

How did Lu Ran know it was a decoy?

Because the energy emanating from the ground ahead was pure energy.

And the slight "Ghost Energy," characteristic of the Evil Demon itself, came from behind the two!

Want to trick me, huh...

You've picked the wrong person!

Lu Ran didn't pay attention to the situation ahead, preparing to take the initiative directly!

He swiftly turned around, pointing diagonally downward: "10 meters."

"Whoo~"

The next moment, Deng Yuxiang flung Lu Ran into the air, showing absolute trust in him.

Her raised hand fiercely fell, energy swirling in her palm.

Her eyes were fiercely sharp, squeezing a sentence through her teeth:

"Come out!"

"Whoo!!"

A tornado suddenly formed.

The ground tore apart, stones shattered into powder.

Dust flew, Divine Power surged mightily!

North Wind Divine Skill·North Wind Roar!
