Desolate Village, silent as death.

Lu Ran's steps were light as he walked along the earthen road, looking at the dilapidated houses on either side of the street.

The low earthen walls were riddled with cracks, as if a gentle push would cause them to collapse.

The adobe houses within the yards were no better, their walls also riddled with obvious cracks, some even with weeds blowing in the breeze.

"This atmosphere."

Lu Ran couldn't help but silently praise in his heart.

The military has something to offer, the scene is quite on point, it's very immersive.

In the distance, at the central position of the village, there even stood a twisted-neck tree…

Behind him, Si Xianxian was completely numb.

Do they really have to do this?

It's like being in a horror movie.

"Young Master." Si Xianxian looked at Lu Ran's back and asked in a soft voice, "Have you found it yet, where is the Yan Zhi?"

She tightly held onto Jiang Ruyi's arm, nervously looking around.

This scene was amusing, the tempestuous girl from the Fierce Heaven Clan, always fearless against Evil Demons, was a prolific demon slayer!

However, as she walked through this moonlit small village, she was actually scared?

Indeed, that was the case. At this moment, Si Xianxian only wanted the Yan Zhi to show up quickly so she could enjoy a swift kill!

This deadly silent Desolate Village was truly frightening.

"Shh!" Lu Ran sent a silencing command, his gaze landing on a large mansion.

He seemed to know why the Yan Zhi Clan was cannibalizing each other.

Inside the desolate small village, everywhere were dilapidated adobe houses, a sight of "poor folk homes".

Only a few buildings were out of place.

Take, for instance, to the left front of where Lu Ran was, there stood a sizable mansion.

The grand house was not a roughly made adobe house, but a wooden structure of a traditional Chinese residence.

The mansion gate was even more imposing, painted red.

Bathed in moonlight, the red mansion gate glowed with a vivid brilliance.

Eerie, and eye-catching.

The Yan Zhi who came to this place would naturally choose such a mansion to stay in.

Wouldn't that make it easy to strike?

"That house." Lu Ran whispered, picking up his pace.

"Sister Xian'er." Jiang Ruyi whispered softly.

"Hm?"

"It's just the Yan Zhi, don't scare yourself," Jiang Ruyi soothed in a low voice, "Go easy later, don't demolish the house."

Si Xianxian: "..."

Indeed, she was not afraid of Evil Demons.

Her fear stemmed from childhood traumas, from her own imagination.

"Creak~~~"

Si Xianxian shuddered suddenly, turning her head to look.

She saw Lu Ran standing in front of the mansion gate, gently pushing open a crack in the red door.

Moonlit desolate village, a mansion with a red door.

Si Xianxian finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Go to hell, die for me!" Si Xianxian cursed under her breath, hammer in hand, striding forward.

This moment, the traits of the Fierce Heavenly believers were fully revealed, utterly uncontrollable!

One second she was terrified, the next she erupted in rage.

"Sister Xian'er!" Jiang Ruyi exclaimed in a low voice, instinctively reaching out to grab Si Xianxian, but came up empty.

Jiang Ruyi failed to stop the feisty girl of the Fierce Heaven Clan, while Lu Ran, standing at the mansion gate, extinguished the "Explosive Barrel".

Lu Ran's brows furrowed, his voice soft and low: "Don't move!"

Just as Si Xianxian raised her leg, wanting to kick open the door, she froze in place.

On one hand, Lu Ran's Divine Technique took effect.

On the other hand...

After such a long time, Si Xianxian almost instinctively followed Lu Ran's command.

Lu Ran placed his hand on Si Xianxian's head, pulling her face to his.

He whispered in her ear:

"Baa~~~"

Face to face open... well, ear open wide!

Si Xianxian's figure swayed, those fiery eyes quickly softened, and a sense of compassion rose in her heart.

Voice of Compassion, truly deadly to those familiar!

Ear open wide, a direct hit!

Sister Xian'er felt pity and love for Lu Ran, wishing she could give her all, her life, to care for this "cub".

Yet Lu Ran was unapologetic.

"Don't mess around." His hand still on her head, he pushed her back.

"Uh." Si Xianxian's upper body leaned back, staggering, and Jiang Ruyi caught her in her arms.

Even though she was treated so roughly, the fierce girl of the Fierce Heaven Clan still didn't show any anger.

Watching, a few onlookers were dumbfounded!

Had the Fierce Heavenly believer been bewitched?

It turned out, Si Xianxian really shouldn't have been afraid of ghosts.

Rather than worrying about demons and evil spirits, she should be more concerned about Lu Ran...

That was inevitable.

Firstly, Lu Ran was now at River Grade, and the Divine Technique he cast was also at River Grade.

Secondly, the longer the contact and the better their relationship, the less ability Si Xianxian had to resist.

Lastly... who else would stick to someone's ear and endlessly plague them?

"This…" Li Xin turned to his older brother.

Li Ming inwardly marveled, eyeing Lu Ran's back intently.

Ever since the Li brothers learned that Si Xianxian was a Fierce Heavenly believer, the two had been on high alert.

They had also mentally prepared for any sudden incidents.

After all, every Fierce Heavenly believer in this world was incredibly unstable and virtually uncontrollable!

But this Immortal Sheep Believer...

His methods were really forceful!

The Fierce Heavenly believer had already erupted in rage, and yet Lu Ran managed to firmly suppress her?

Damn, that's amazing!

The Fierce Heavenly believers were frighteningly powerful, but sadly, they couldn't be employed by Da Xia.

If there could be more Immortal Sheep Believers like Lu Ran, wouldn't Da Xia's military strength soar?

Too bad.

In the forty years since the gods descended, Lu Ran was the only "combat sheep" they had.

Other Immortal Sheep Believers, let alone controlling a Fierce Heavenly believer, upon encountering a raging Fierce Heavenly disciple, the Immortal Goat Disciples would probably kneel on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.

Chen Jingjing quietly watched this scene, her expression becoming serious.

She realized a very serious problem!

Now that she had met Lu Ran, they would become more familiar in the future.

Lu Ran, being Da Xia's genius, with strength already apparent, and the child of Peak Master Qiao...

Chen Jingjing asked herself, she would come to admire Lu Ran more and more, their relationship would likely get better.

Until their relationship grew strong, or Lu Ran's strength caught up, he probably could do whatever he wanted in front of her!

With that thought, Chen Jingjing's brows furrowed tightly.

When it came to Immortal Sheep Believers, people mostly held attitudes of contempt and disdain.

Lord Immortal Goat, as a Nine-level God, recruited Human Clan believers of generally low aptitude, hardly capable of becoming masters.

But Lu Ran was an extreme exception; he was a combat sheep with explosive talent!

One day, people will realize that the Immortal Sheep sect is far more terrifying than the Evil Demon.

At least most Evil Demons would grant a swift end.

While powerful Immortal Sheep Believers would make you lose all personal will and willingly give everything for them...

"Creak~"

Lu Ran continued to push the mansion door until there was enough space for a person to slip through sideways.

He didn't know that he had just shown off, causing an uproar in the heart of a Jiang Realm Great Power.

At that moment, Lu Ran was fully focused, sneakily entering the yard.

He approached the house door, sensing the Evil Demon's aura growing stronger—the Yan Zhi must be in the hall on the other side of the door!

Lu Ran moved several steps sideways, peering through a hole in the window paper that someone had poked, looking inside.

The hall was pitch black.

However, Lu Ran's Evil Technique·Evil Recognition had reached River Grade, enough to help him see through the darkness.

After several months, he finally saw the Yan Zhi again.

Just one glance made Lu Ran's hair stand on end!

The military's setting, could it be any more realistic?

It was clear that soldiers had just cleaned this place; the hall was tidy and quaint.

At the center, there was an Eight Immortals table with Taishi Chairs on either side.

On one of the Taishi Chairs, there sat quietly a figure of a woman.

She was in a Red wedding dress, with a Red Veil over her head.

In the pitch-dark room, that unmoving crimson figure looked so spine-chilling...

It's worth mentioning that the Yan Zhi Clan's phoenix crown and wedding dress was "part of the act" when they appeared.

But the red cloth covering her head was Evil Technique·Red Veil.

This technique is a kind of long-range offensive skill, mostly used by the Yan Zhi Clan to torment the Human Clan.

The Red Veil could float back and forth at the will of the Yan Zhi Clan.

It could smother people's faces, causing them to suffocate to death.

Or it could be wrapped around people's necks, hoisted in midair, hanging them to death.

Just hearing about such methods was enough to feel the cruelty.

And at this moment, that cruel Yan Zhi sat quietly on the Taishi Chair.

Just like a bride waiting for the groom to return and marry her.

"It still has to be you, Yan Zhi."

Lu Ran murmured in his heart, quietly walking back to the front of the house.

Too perfect!

Since their last encounter, Lu Ran had seen many Evil Demons, including some that made an impression on him.

The Tangled Silk Clan, with their seductive beauty, enslaving all beings.

The Night Charm Clan, graceful and mysterious, swift and ruthless in their killing.

But these Evil Demons couldn't make Lu Ran's temples throb with excitement!

Thinking it over, only the Yin Flower Dan playing in the dead of night could compete with the Yan Zhi.

Chinese horror is truly the most terrifying!

Under the stunned gazes of Jiang Ruyi and Si Xianxian, Lu Ran gently pushed open the house door.

With the wooden door creaking, the Yan Zhi finally sensed something off.

"Hm?" Her hand lifted the Red Veil.

Lu Ran's eyes narrowed, originally wanting to get even closer, but now he had no time for caution.

He lunged forward, Silent Night Blade in hand, thrusting straight at the Yan Zhi.

Yan Zhi… were you waiting for me?

Here! I! Come!

"Chi!"

The blade pierces flesh!

The sharp Silent Night Blade, however, did not penetrate the Yan Zhi's throat.

After all, her face was still veiled by the Red Veil.

In a critical moment, the Yan Zhi sharply tilted her head, causing the blade to slash on the side of her neck, causing a shallow wound.

"Whoosh~"

The Yan Zhi still sat on the Taishi Chair, when suddenly another figure of the Yan Zhi floated to the side.

Evil Technique·Paper Substitute?

A full set of Evil Techniques, huh?

Lu Ran's eyes were sharp, mist swirling beneath his feet.

"Chi——"

Lu Ran's figure suddenly dashed past beside the Yan Zhi.

"Whoosh~"

A head soared high into the air, blood spurting dramatically.

If slicing the side of the neck wasn't a fatal blow, if the Yan Zhi still could use the Paper Substitute...

Then Lu Ran's behead with this strike, just like on a rainy night with the Big Nightmare, left no chance of survival for the Yan Zhi!

"Whoosh~"

Lu Ran stopped abruptly and looked up.

The phoenix crown chimed with a series of crisp sounds.

Lu Ran reached out to catch a beautiful falling head.

He saw the pale, paper-like face, and the wide, beautiful eyes.

"Ruyi, your true love will never come in this lifetime."

Lu Ran thought silently, looking at the beauty's skull in his arms, letting it crumble into mist.

But you have found where you belong.

You've found the Evil Demon Lord!
