The rain kept pouring down, heavier and heavier.

In Rain Alley City, Lu Ran and his small team zipped through the streets and alleys.

Since figuring out a set of suitable tactics, the four-man squad had significantly improved their efficiency in killing enemies.

However, the atmosphere amongst the team had become increasingly somber.

Tonight, Rain Alley City suffered heavy casualties.

The Tangled Silk Shadow clan was exceedingly dangerous, their Evil Technique lethally harmful.

In terms of the number of casualties among the Human Clan, this night was only second to the night of October 15th last year, the Night of Ghosts of the Barbaric Woman.

The Barbaric Woman continued to lead not because the Tangled Silk Shadow's strength was insufficient.

But because the Tangled Silk Shadow clan took too much pleasure in their play!

They constantly thought about toying with the Human Clan, tormenting their prey.

Truth be told, without this cruel mentality, the casualties among humans could have been several times worse!

"Everyone, assemble!" Suddenly, Sun Zhengfang's voice sounded in the night sky, "Piaoxiang Cake City entrance!"

Down on the street below, shadows with Immortal Fog hurried over.

Lu Ran skidded sideways, slowing down while keeping an eye on the shopfront in the distance.

More red silk threads filled the sky, and another group of people desperately resisted.

Lu Ran carefully surveyed the battlefield, and after confirming that no soldiers were caught by the red threads, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, Lu Ran employed the Divine Technique·Desolate Sound:

"Mee~"

In the dim night, a goat's bleating sound pierced through the layers of rain, drifting into the ears of the Tangled Silk Shadow.

"Hm?" Tangled Silk Shadow's demeanor changed, her charming and seductive appearance vanishing without a trace.

Her playful eyes turned extremely venomous, as she viciously turned her head to look towards the distant street.

In the pouring rain, beneath the streetlamp.

A figure clad in a yellow raincoat stood out conspicuously.

"Here he comes, Lu Ran is here!"

"Hold on! The patrol team's brothers have arrived!" Four Moon Gazers were overjoyed, their spirits greatly lifted.

That distinctive goat bleating sound had become a kind of symbol.

Rain Alley City was really small.

Small enough that in the Divine People Bureau - Moon Gazer rankings, not all types of Believers were equipped.

In this tiny territory, on the battlefield of life and death, when you hear the sound of goat bleating...

The one who comes can only be that person—Lu Ran!

To go back to the point, even if the scope is expanded to include Wu Lie River Province or the entire territory of Da Xia, those capable of fighting on the battlefield from the Immortal Sheep Believers were likely to be just Lu Ran alone.

Divine characteristics, Immortal Goat Sect Rules, and the disciples' temperaments, all these factors combined made it impossible for Immortal Sheep Sect disciples to fight on the battlefield.

Immortal Sheep Believers were weaker than each other, that was an indisputable fact.

Once past the newbie protection period, or after graduating from high school, Immortal Sheep Believers would avoid sparring, dueling, or entering the Demon Cave for experience like the plague.

Compared to them, what about Lu Ran?

He carved a path through the bloodshed and was specially recruited into the patrol team.

He fought through nights of the fifteenth, earning himself the reputation "Unmatched in Rain Alley."

In the end, he even fought his way into the ranks of Da Xia's geniuses!

Therefore, this sound of goat bleating was indeed very emblematic.

It could be seen as the mark of Rain Alley City.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

The tempting red lips of the Tangled Silk Shadow let out a piercing shriek.

Sun Zhengfang had descended to the ground, and a Chinese Parasol Tree sprung up from the earth.

After dropping off Sun Zhengfang, Wei Long flew through the sky with practiced ease, heading for the Tangled Silk Shadow's back.

Jiang Ruyi flew to the side of the Tangled Silk Shadow, tossing out one Bursting Flame Talisman after another.

What does it matter if the night rain pours down?

Those talismans might not ignite the long red dress, but they could blast the red cloth and threads to pieces!

Jiang Ruyi had a clear target, the same as Sun Zhengfang. Both were forcing that Tether Silk Robe to release as many red cloths and threads as possible, to engage both of them.

In this way, they were creating an opportunity for Wei Long to break through.

It had to be said that the Tether Silk Robe was indeed powerful!

Sun Zhengfang released so many branches, and with Jiang Ruyi and other Moon Gazers attacking from the side, the long red dress was unafraid, facing multiple adversaries alone.

The resplendent long red dress firmly helped its owner stand firm, warding off all annoyances from its surroundings.

"You beast!"

Wei Long let out a stern cry, plunging directly into the Tether Silk Robe's defensive domain.

Did Wei Long's unbridled Battle Roar not fear drawing the Tangled Silk Shadow's attention?

The answer was... no fear!

As long as Lu Ran was present,

The Evil Demon's eyes would not see anyone else!

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~!" Five threads rapidly stabbed towards Lu Ran.

In those beautiful eyes of the Tangled Silk Shadow, a red luster flickered, betraying a hint of merciless intent.

The previously coquettish beauty, at that moment, seemed like a ghastly specter with a twisted visage.

"Mee~"

Lu Ran, with the Silent Night Blade in hand, casually twirled the blade, his legs slightly bent.

A sidestep, a duck, a flash of the blade.

Several red threads were cleanly cut by the Silent Night Blade, infuriating the Tangled Silk Shadow even more.

But Lu Ran was as relaxed as if he were strolling in his courtyard.

With his mouth emitting a plaintive bleat, his hands demonstrated sharp and ruthless swordsmanship.

Just five red threads think to ensnare me?

You can't!

Go back and call for Yan Zhi.

If her palms held a little Paper Mache Man, then maybe I really might not be able to escape...

"Snap! Snap!"

"Boom boom boom!" The sound of branches snapping and explosions thundering was non-stop.

Despite many Moon Gazers casting their spells together, entangling the long red dress,

When Wei Long made his move, a portion of the red cloth and threads still attacked him.

A mighty Prisoner Demon Believer of River Realm·Fifth Rank naturally wasn't vegetarian!

Wei Long swung his Big Red Robe fiercely, his feet stomping hard on the ground.

"Huh!!"

Below Wei Long's feet, it was as if a Blood Sea Chaos surged forth, spreading violently in all directions, tumultuous and overwhelming.

Prisoner Demon Divine Skill·Blood Sea Chaos!

Wei Long strained to keep the Blood Evil Clothes spread, blocking the assault of the red cloth and threads.

In the midst of the blood sea, only this Prisoner Demon Disciple could remain unimpeded by the turbulence.

Suddenly, everyone noticed that the numerous red threads fluttering in the sky had softened?

Subsequently, the ends of the threads rose again, and then plummeted.

It was like a poor signal reception...

Clearly, the tumultuous surging of the blood sea was disrupting the energy within the Tangled Silk Shadow, hindering her casting.

"Go." Jiang Ruyi quietly uttered a word.

In the night sky, the Cold Night Sword stabbed down swiftly, followed closely by the Dawn Blade.

"Ahhhh!"

The Tangled Silk Shadow screamed in rage, devoid of her heavy garments; her fighting style changed, charging straight towards Lu Ran.

However, chains suddenly emerged, not only blocking in front of the Tangled Silk Shadow but also wrapping around her neck.

The word Prisoner Demon was not a misnomer.

Within the "Domain" of the Prison Demon Disciple, it was truly difficult for an Evil Demon to escape.

"Zi!"

"Zi..." The blades flashed past.

In the layers of the rain, a pair of blades drew a long line of blood.

Cruel, yet beautiful.

The careful observer would also notice that the Blood Chains around the Tangled Silk Shadow's neck had extended sharp spikes.

Prisoner Demon Divine Skill·Blood Chain Stab!

Each sharp spike pierced the Tangled Silk Shadow's neck, creating one blood-curdling wound after another.

Whether it was a pair of Divine Weapons that killed the Evil Demon or the Prison Demon Disciple who did the piercing...

It didn't matter.

What was important was the Evil Demon's demise, each additional attack move a layer of protection.

The battlefield gradually quieted down, but Lu Ran's channel was ablaze.

"Clean and efficient, like clouds flowing effortlessly! Thrilling!!"

"Damn, now every time I hear a goat bleat, my blood starts boiling..."

"No, that sound is too bizarre!"

"There's a problem! Other Immortal Sheep Believers are begging for mercy, but his is taunting? There's a big problem!"

"That's Lu Ran's special use of the Voice of Compassion, you guys are clueless!"

On the rainy night street, in front of the cake shop.

The Tangled Silk Shadow's body shattered into a mist, which Wei Long absorbed into the Divine Power Pearl.

Lu Ran stepped forward slowly and drew the Dead Soul of the Tangled Silk Shadow into his eyes.

"Is everyone okay?" Captain Sun walked out from the Chinese Parasol Tree, scanning the group.

"We're okay."

"We're good, Captain Sun!" Several Moon Gazers responded in turn.

"Good." Captain Sun nodded, "Stay safe, let's move out."

At the team leader's command, Wei Long carried Captain Sun aloft.

Jiang Ruyi followed closely, while only Lu Ran, with fog swirling beneath his feet, weaved through the streets and alleys.

"Take care!"

"Take care!" Voices came from behind Lu Ran, filled with deep concern.

Lu Ran sighed softly, quietly closing his eyes, listening carefully to the voices of this world as he continued to rush to the next battlefield.

Rational tactics help the group defeat the Evil Demons time and time again.

The cooperation of the four-member team grew more tacit, their combat efficiency continually rising.

Sun Zhengfang, Wei Long, Jiang Ruyi, Lu Ran.

Each person displayed their mighty grace, especially Prisoner Demon Believer·Wei Long, who shone brightly in these special tactics!

The Night of Ghosts of the Tangled Silk Shadow clan lasted nearly two hours.

As the time passed midnight, everyone clearly felt that the frequency of appearances of the large red figures sharply decreased.

Despite the reduced sightings of Tangled Silk Shadow, other Evil Demons continued to invade the Human Clan city, wreaking havoc for a while.

However, having been through the baptism of battle with the Tangled Silk Shadow clan, facing familiar foes like Evil Dogs, Ghostly Eyes Ghosts, and Soul-splitting Demons now seemed easier.

Until three o'clock in the morning, Rain Alley City gradually quieted down.

The rain eased, as if the small city was whispering sobs.

Once more, the group reached the outskirts of Hexi Park, stepping onto the narrow and small overpass.

"Hu..."

Lu Ran let out a deep breath, stepping onto the spot where the Tangled Silk Shadow had first appeared.

It was right here at the bridgehead that he encountered the first Tangled Silk Shadow.

Only a short night had passed... or more accurately, just a few hours, but Lu Ran felt as if days had gone by.

This night, so much had happened.

Some were maimed, some had perished, and some wept in the rain.

Images lingered in Lu Ran's mind, refusing to fade.

Lu Ran stood at the bridgehead, his teammates also stopped, calm and quiet.

At this point, there was no need to rush through the city; the demons that invaded like a tidal wave had receded just as quickly.

"Lu Ran." After a while, it was Captain Sun who finally called out to Lu Ran.

"Present!"

"Let's patrol, the night's not over." Captain Sun reminded softly.

"Mm." Lu Ran murmured an acknowledgment, feeling a gentle hand on his back.

Lu Ran turned his head and saw Jiang Ruyi's profile.

The girl was looking up at the night sky.

Lu Ran followed her gaze and saw the tallest building in Rain Alley—the Wu Lie Building.

The spreading mist couldn't hide the shining light from the top of the building.

This beacon-like presence, after weathering the night's wind and rain, remained dazzling.

"She would be proud of you." Jiang Ruyi said softly.

The girl certainly knew who had recommended Lu Ran for the "Heavenly Pride" shortlist.

She spoke softly, adding: "Whether it's the patrol team or the Heavenly Pride."

Lu Ran silently looked at the Wu Lie Building, watching the bright light beneath the night sky.

Would she?

She might.
