[What is her power level?] Lu Ran looked at Yan Shuangzi, who was secretly excited, and asked through their link.

[River Realm·Fifth Rank.] Deng Yuxiang also lowered his head to look at Yan Shuangzi, his feelings complicated.

[What?]

River Realm·Fifth Rank?

Of course, Lu Ran noticed that Yan Shuangzi's energy fluctuation was very weak, but he had always thought it was because her body was too frail.

He never imagined that Yan Shuangzi was actually in the River Realm?

Once upon a time, Yan Shuangzi could rival Deng Yuxiang!

She even surpassed Deng Yuxiang!

Because Deng Yuxiang had returned to his hometown and stayed in the small Rain Alley City, while Yan Shuangzi remained in Beifeng City.

But not everyone has the qualification to remain in the Holy Land.

There, the presence of gods resided, the energy in the world was extremely rich, and the sect's elders did not hesitate to provide guidance, naturally offering greater prospects!

The fact proved that Yan Shuangzi developed very well there too.

She became the only one to successfully challenge the Divine Ruins, becoming an undisputed leader among the younger generation of the North Wind Sect!

But look at her now!

Deng Yuxiang had reached the Jiang Realm·Fourth Rank, with a stable mental realm, steadily moving towards the peak of the Jiang Realm.

Yet Yan Shuangzi was just at the pitiable River Realm·Fifth Rank...

[She dropped from her rank.] Deng Yuxiang's eyes were complicated, [Shuangzi had once been at Jiang Realm·Second Rank, but that was long ago.]

Hearing this, Lu Ran felt even heavier.

Deng Yuxiang leaned down tenderly, gently caressing Yan Shuangzi's back: [She said when she first entered this realm, she was busy struggling for survival.]

[She dodged and hid for an unknown long time, with neither the time nor the energy to think much.]

[Until one day, she luckily encountered a North Wind disciple, went back with the team to Sword Ridge Peak, and struggled to cultivate and grow for a while under various lies and deceits.]

[Later, she repeatedly confirmed that gods and evil demons were colluding together...]

[Her faith collapsed, becoming more and more dispirited, muddling through the days for a long time.]

Lu Ran had been listening all the way, unable to help sighing.

This was Yan Shuangzi's Dao Heart shattering.

At the moment she severed the contract, she must have suffered severe backlash, severely damaging her.

With her foundation already impaired, subsequently, she lived on while being constantly suppressed, imprisoned, and tortured. How could her power level remain stable?

River Realm...

This realm doesn't demand much from the believers' mental realm.

That is to say, Yan Shuangzi should have fallen as far as she could, only stopping at the brink of failure.

"Are you pitying me?" Yan Shuangzi suddenly spoke.

Deng Yuxiang's hand paused in mid-action.

Indeed, she couldn't help but leaned down to smooth Yan Shuangzi's back and accidentally rubbed her head.

If any other person in the River Realm dared to speak to a Jiang Realm Great Power like that, it would be pure suicide!

But Deng Yuxiang didn't get angry, instead, she apologized: "Sorry, I didn't mean to."

The ever powerful Big Nightmare, when was she ever so humble?

Today, Lu Ran witnessed it.

However, he could understand Deng Yuxiang's mindset.

After all, in essence, Deng Yuxiang and Yan Shuangzi were the same kind of people.

Deng Yuxiang knew clearly that pity was a great humiliation for both of them!

Deng Yuxiang held Yan Shuangzi's arm: "Besides, I'm not pitying you, I'm feeling sorry for you."

Yan Shuangzi didn't get up, pursing her lips, remaining silent.

"Get up." Lu Ran casually beckoned, and the Silent Night Blade flew over with its scabbard.

Only then did Yan Shuangzi rise to her feet.

From this small gesture, it seemed she had determined something in her heart.

She was indeed the same kind of person as Big Nightmare...

Lu Ran handed the Silent Night Blade over: "You've already formed a contract with the Evil Dog Evil Sculpture, now you have ears and a nose, let me lend you an eye."

As a divine weapon, Silent Night had a unique perspective on the world.

As long as Yan Shuangzi held the blade, the Sword Spirit could transmit information to her.

Naturally, Lu Ran couldn't ask too much of Silent Night, its nature was to love quiet, only needing it to remind Yan Shuangzi at critical moments would suffice.

In nature, it was more appropriate for Lu Ran to lend out the Dawn Blade.

But the Dawn Blade had a domain!

In this dangerous world, Lu Ran might at any time activate the Divine Weapon Domain·Blessed Cloud.

As for the Silent Night Blade...

It was firmly blocked at the road's mouth by another divine/evil weapon, not allowed to delve further.

Who knows where that weapon is now.

Lu Ran lent Yan Shuangzi the divine weapon for another reason: she was a swordman; how could she be without a handy weapon?

Lu Ran might not have much else, but he had plenty of blades!

He said, "The Holy Spirit Mountain is full of scoundrels, they've killed and plundered, so they have quite a few divine weapons and seeds.

When we seize some divine weapons, return this eye to me."

"Yes!" Yan Shuangzi gripped the Silent Night Blade tightly, complying with the command.

She understood very well the gap between herself and the others.

To perform missions with the Ran Sect, she indeed needed a divine weapon to assist her.

Deng Yuxiang once more transmitted a message: [Shuangzi's weapon wasn't lost or damaged; it was allocated by Elder Xing to other North Wind disciples.]

Lu Ran, with a cold expression: [Alright, when we gather enough strength, when we fight our way back, we'll snatch the blade again!]

He paused, transmitting a message again: [Yan Shuangzi isn't an Evil Dog Follower, what I signed with her is an inheritance contract, talk more with her, share some experiences.]

[Okay, can Shuangzi and I communicate through our link?]

[I'm afraid not, you two are colleagues, independent entities... hmm, why don't you give it a try?]

[Hmm, I'll give it a try.] Deng Yuxiang thought for a moment, having some conclusions in her heart.

Both could be considered sculptures within the God Demon Sculpture Garden, standing within Lu Ran's mental world.

As the owner, Lu Ran should be able to communicate with each sculpture.

But sculpture to sculpture contact should be impossible, right?

"Stay firm to your path, return to the Jiang Realm soon!" Lu Ran expressed his hope to Yan Shuangzi, "When you regain your grace, the day I recognize you, I'll make you a protector."

Who was Yan Shuangzi?

An proud martial artist, a replica of Deng Yuxiang!

Although Lu Ran didn't have much interaction with Yan Shuangzi, he knew Deng Yuxiang very well, naturally knowing how to apply the right remedy.

But pity for Sister Xian'er.

She'll have to move back in line~

"Yes!" Yan Shuangzi held the Silent Night Blade with one hand, responding solemnly.

Yu Changsheng, who was quietly observing, nodded in agreement.

Indeed!

A mental issue must be treated by the Sect Leader.

Just as Lu Ran turned his head to look: "Shall we head back?"

Yu Changsheng nodded immediately.

He had long realized that the young Sect Leader was somewhat soft-hearted, presumably wanting Luo Ying to return sooner to accompany her child.

Although Lu Ran never verbally mentioned it, his actions conveyed much.

For instance, earlier, when he heard thunder in the sky, the first thing Lu Ran thought of was the child, wanting one of the couple to stay back with their kids.

At that time, Yu Changsheng thought it was Lu Ran's clever tactic to win people's hearts.

Of course, this might still be the case.

But Yu Changsheng leaned more towards the fact that it was genuinely Lu Ran's heartfelt thought.

"There's nothing much to prepare, right?" Lu Ran looked over at everyone, "Then let's depart now."

With that, he summoned the Ancient Bronze Mirror.

Yu Changsheng, marching with the troops, silently pondered.

Xun Yifei and Luo Ying had finally found a peaceful and secluded residence; moving was out of the question.

Currently, the Ran Sect was heavily reliant on the couple.

So, should they find a coastal base belonging to the Ran Sect?

With new members joining the Ran Sect, it's foreseeable that the sect will only grow stronger!

After all, Lu Ran had unique abilities and displayed enough personal charisma.

The sea cliff cave was a bit small and too simplistic.

Thinking of this, Yu Changsheng looked at Luo Ying in the team: "You said earlier that two factions on your side went to sea long ago?"

"Yes."

"How is the construction of their bases?" Yu Changsheng asked while approaching the floor mirror.

Luo Ying responded immediately: "When we return, I can lead the way and go check it out together."

Lu Ran: "Does Mr. Cong Long want to root near the sea?"

Yu Changsheng nodded with a smile: "Our power is growing day by day; we need a foothold of our own. What does the Sect Leader think?"

Lu Ran agreed, nodding, then summoned another mirror: "Better if it's by the seaside."

"Why?" Yu Changsheng was a bit puzzled.

The ocean is very dangerous, who knows when an angry sea Flame Flood Dragon might pop up.

"I've told Mr. Cong Long that I can draw power from God Demons."

"So?" Yu Changsheng's face was full of curiosity.

Lu Ran smiled mysteriously: "So what an Evil God can do, I can also do."

Yu Changsheng pondered briefly, then asked: "Please enlighten me, Sect Master."

Lu Ran shrugged: "I can create evil demon minions."

Yu Changsheng: "Huh?"

The other people also looked on in shock.

Lu Ran, however, seemed to take it for granted: "I can summon the Night Charm Clan to guard the mountain, and the Mo Li Clan to guard the sea."

Yu Changsheng: !!!

Lu Ran naturally noticed everyone's gaze.

Ah...

No matter when or where, pulling out a plastic bag always makes one feel good both inside and out.

Just feels very comforting~

Lu Ran continued: "To date, I've drawn the most power from the Evil God·Mo Li.

I can summon Jiang Realm·Mo Li!"

Yu Changsheng followed Lu Ran's train of thought: "The Sect Master intends to have the Mo Li Clan occupy a sea area, to protect our base while helping you collect Holy Spirit Energy?"

"Exactly!" Lu Ran nodded.

Yu Changsheng quieted down, digesting the staggering news.

From the back of the team, Yan Shuangzi, who followed silently, couldn't help but grip the scabbard tightly.

Even the summoned demons by Lu Ran were of the Jiang Realm?

Then someone like me at the River Realm...

Yu Changsheng steadied his mind and asked: "Sect Master, how many evil demon minions can you summon specifically?"

Lu Ran admitted: "To be honest, sir, I've never recklessly summoned a large number of demons; I'm not clear on the maximum number.

I'll try it once we return."

Yu Changsheng continued: "And the demons you summon, is there a distance requirement for controlling them?"

Lu Ran laughed: "Sir, you misunderstand: I don't control demons, I command demons, so there's no distance limit."

Yu Changsheng's eyes lit up: "Absolute loyalty?"

Lu Ran held the exquisite Ancient Bronze Mirror, and his words stirred the thoughts of the crowd, inciting excitement:

"Of course, I am the Evil Demon Lord after all."
