Summit of the Old Gods

Chapter 464: 428 Save someone!


At the bottom of the snowy mountain valley, inside a newly carved small cave.

At the entrance of the cave, Jing Hong stands guard tremblingly. Compared to the potential enemies outside the cave, the people inside make Jing Hong even more fearful.

Especially Deng Yuxiang, who is leaning against the wall.

She is terrifyingly silent, like a beast that might erupt in fury at any moment.

"Sect Leader..." Yu Changsheng spoke softly, breaking the death-like stillness.

As if giving Jing Hong a way out, a chance to catch her breath.

"Hmm." Deep inside the cave, Lu Ran sat leaning against the stone wall, holding two clusters of dark mist in his hands.

Within the Soul Prison were the faces of Bu Ming and Kong Jingqi.

The two lowered their eyes, quiet and cautious, not daring to make any sounds for fear of provoking Ran Sect members again.

Kong Jingqi answered truthfully about all that Yan Shuangzi encountered at Sword Ridge Peak.

And those words made everyone indignant and furious!

Kong Jingqi said...

"Yan Shuangzi spread heresy, disrupting the army's morale, claiming that Holy Spirit Mountain was a slaughterhouse for the Human Clan."

"She said that the powerful Human Clan was continuously being thrown into Holy Spirit Mountain, not to collect Holy Spirit Energy, but because the gods wanted people to kill each other and die!"

"Yan Shuangzi dared to question Lord Beifeng..."

"She said if this continues, the Human Clan will have no day to see the light."

"She thinks she's smart and noble! Everyone else is drunk while she alone is sober!"

"She couldn't reason with people and tried to find the Peak Master, but Elder Xing stopped her, punished her to kneel for three days, and then to three months of slavery..."

"Yan Shuangzi was discontent and secretly tried to persuade a fellow disciple to leave Sword Ridge Peak with her but was reported by that person, thoroughly angering Elder Xing."

"She was captured during her escape and was brought back, made to kneel outside the Divine Temple, and punished in public!"

"Elder Xing didn't execute Yan Shuangzi but imprisoned her, continuously punishing her, showing all the disciples of Sword Ridge Peak the fate of betraying the gods and the sect, and inciting colleagues..."

Kong Jingqi's words pierced Deng Yuxiang's heart like knives.

It hurt.

It suffocated Deng Yuxiang even more.

Wasn't what Yan Shuangzi said... correct?

Who is truly blind?

The world has worshiped the gods for too long. The higher their realm, the deeper their faith, completely brainwashed.

Or perhaps, some are not blind.

They just intentionally covered their eyes and ears.

"Sect Leader." Yu Changsheng approached Lu Ran, looking down at him, "Sword Ridge Peak is the base camp of the North Wind Sect.

The two captives also said there are seventeen Sea Realm experts residing in the peak!

That Peak Master, who has been in seclusion, has unfathomable strength. Even the North Wind disciples don't know his realm. What if he is...

In any case, we must not confront them head-on!"

Beifeng is a Second-class God, and the North Wind Sect is a solid major sect. The disciples under it are extraordinarily gifted, and their success rate is naturally higher.

In front of such a large sect like Sword Ridge Peak, an organization like Tiantu Mountain is simply a joke.

"Hmm." Lu Ran played with the dark mist, his face expressionless.

Yu Changsheng advised, "We must rescue her! But we must act with caution."

Yu Changsheng spoke softly and earnestly, knowing very well that Lu Ran's potential was limitless, but feared premature death.

Lu Ran asked, "What clever plan does Mr. Cong Long have?"

Yu Changsheng turned his head, looking at Luo Ying, who was silently polishing the Divine Bow alone.

The Divine General Luo!

She is also a disciple of a Second-class God, frighteningly powerful at the Sea Realm · Fourth Rank, with explosive output capability.

Luo Ying alone cannot withstand many Sea Realm experts.

And Ash's sect doesn't have battlefield, escape movement skills, or the like.

Yet the North Wind disciples are extremely fast; if Luo Ying is not cautious, she could truly be surrounded and die a tragic death.

But Ran Sect has Lu Ran!

He has the Mirror Flower Moon at his disposal—it has great versatility!

"Sect Leader, why don't we..." Yu Changsheng and Lu Ran meticulously planned together.

After a while, Lu Ran's face darkened: "We'll do as Mr. Cong Long said."

Then, Lu Ran added, "I can also cast the River Realm Technique of the Mo Li Sect, Mo Cai Xie Li."

Evil Technique · Mo Cai Xie Li: The caster can summon a giant Mo Li to roam the skies. The big fish will release countless small Mo Li within, disrupting all minds.

The giant Mo Li will also continuously release "pop" sounds, delivering mental shocks to all creatures.

Unfortunately, Lu Ran is only at the River Realm, so he can only cast River Grade techniques.

The Evil Sculpture · Mo Li in the Sculpture Garden is already at the Sea Realm. If Lu Ran were also at the Sea Realm, it would be perfect.

Charge and kill those dogs at Sword Ridge Peak!

Yu Changsheng immediately nodded: "Good, the North Wind Sect has no Spirit Defense Techniques; Mo Cai Xie Li is sure to bring significant trouble to Sword Ridge Peak!"

The River Grade · Mo Cai Xie Li is hard to confuse the minds of Sea Realm experts and affect their combat capabilities.

But it can absolutely create chaos!

This is beneficial for Lu Ran to carry out the rescue.

"Sect Leader, at dusk today, we just killed four North Wind disciples, so Sword Ridge Peak must be on alert now. How about we..." Yu Changsheng's voice trailed off as Lu Ran shook his head.

Lu Ran declared directly: "We will act tonight!"

Who cares if they're on alert!

Ran Sect's current strength indeed cannot contend with Sword Ridge Peak.

Each Sea Realm Great Power is like a cloud hanging over Lu Ran's head.

The ever-reclusive Peak Master of Sword Ridge Peak, with his unfathomable strength, is even more like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heads.

Lu Ran is indeed worried.

But he fears that delay might lead to the Peak Master coming out of seclusion.

Lu Ran's face remained stern.

We must rescue her!

Sooner rather than later!

Yu Changsheng hesitated for a long time but eventually said nothing more.

Now that Lu Ran knows Yan Shuangzi has been suffering, he indeed can't wait any longer.

"Everyone." Lu Ran's gaze swept over the crowd, "Come."

Even Jing Hong, who was on guard at the cave entrance, quickly approached at Lu Ran's signaling.

Lu Ran nodded slightly towards Yu Changsheng: "Sir."

Yu Changsheng immediately spoke, arranging everyone: "For this rescue mission, Jing Hong will take the initiative."

Jing Hong immediately nodded: "Yes!"

The members of Ran Sect are stronger one by one. In terms of pure combat strength, Jing Hong ranks at the bottom.

But as a War Horn Believer, Jing Hong is extremely functional!

Among the six skills of the War Horn Sect, five involve playing the horn.

There's the Charging Horn to increase battle intent; the Echo Horn for terrain scouting.

The Calming Horn to soothe minds; the Shocking Heart Horn to instill fear and retreat.

And the Thunderclap Horn, which causes dizziness and confusion!

Only the Divine Technique · War Horn Will is a Spirit Defense Technique, protecting the caster from any mental harm.

Lu Ran looked at Jing Hong, speaking in a deep voice: "Isn't the North Wind Sect known for their sharp ears?

I will place the bronze mirror directly at the peak. You blow the Thunderclap Horn and blow out their eardrums for me!"

Jing Hong lowered her head respectfully: "Yes!"

Given the special abilities of the North Wind Sect, Lu Ran wants to sneak into the mountain—it's as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Yu Changsheng planned a strategy of sowing confusion.

Based on the intel from the captives, the Peak Master's secluded region is not on the mountain but within the mountain, in the mid-to-lower area, isolated from the outside world.

Therefore, Lu Ran and Yu Changsheng dared to let Jing Hong cast like this.

Once the people on Sword Ridge Peak start moving, Lu Ran can act freely.

Yu Changsheng timely added: "The Sect Leader will join you, casting Mo Cai Xie Li; you have the War Horn Will, so no need to worry."

Then, he looked at Luo Ying: "We need your arrows to help us retreat properly."

Luo Ying nodded slightly.

Luo Ying had some feelings about Yan Shuangzi's experience.

But not too many.

Having stayed in this world too long, Luo Ying has witnessed many tragic stories.

She has become numb.

If not for having something to hold onto, two children to raise...

Luo Ying believes she would have long lost herself and become a walking corpse.

Now, she only wishes to serve the master loyally, hoping one day the Sect Leader will fulfill his promise to grant her children the qualification to cultivate Divine Power and endow them with life-saving Divine Techniques.

Yu Changsheng looked at Luo Ying, continuing: "Prepare in advance, once the Sect Leader returns with Yan Shuangzi, he will activate Mirror Flower Moon again.

We need your arrows to wound the enemy, delay their counterattack and search, and mislead them in the wrong direction."

Luo Ying looked towards Lu Ran, seeking instruction: "Does the Sect Leader need the Canglong Divine Arrow or the Ten Thousand Dragons Subdue Sea Arrow?"

The River Realm Technique · Canglong Divine Arrow is a massive Water Flow Arrow.

The arrow shaft is entwined with two Canglongs, adding speed and impact force to the giant water arrow, its destructive power astonishing!

As a Second-class God disciple, Luo Ying is naturally superior.

She also has the Sea Realm Technique · Ten Thousand Dragons Subdue Sea Arrow.

This method is even more terrifying; she can truly shoot a giant Canglong!

The gigantic dragon, during its flight, will break into countless small Canglongs, roaring and assaulting the enemy, akin to a "volley of ten thousand arrows."

Lu Ran, contemplating Luo General's capabilities, couldn't help but have his emotions surge.

People often say, Human Clan Great Powers can destroy the heavens and the earth.

This is indeed true.

The vast Yangyang Sea, especially strong god disciples like Luo Ying, cannot be too many in the Human World.

If there were several Luo Generals, jointly guarding Da Xia...

Every full moon night, how could the Evil Demon minions cause "tons of" panic to the Human Clan?

What would the Evil Demons eat?

If the crisis level isn't enough, how could All Gods gain a batch of devout, death-defying Believers?

It seems, being thrown into Holy Spirit Mountain to fend for oneself is the ultimate fate for people like Luo Ying.

Here, she won't disrupt the balance and framework of the Human World.

The great play between gods and demons can go on forever.

Lu Ran pressed down his heavy thoughts, looked at his subordinate Divine General, and spoke in a deep voice: "Can I have both?"

Luo Ying bowed her head: "As you command!"

...

In the deep of the night, the sky full of stars.

The rolling snow-capped mountains lay silent.

The people of Ran Sect hurriedly moved, as one bronze mirror after another opened on the ground, silently heading north.

"Here it is!" Lu Ran suddenly spoke.

At the top of a snowy mountain peak, Lu Ran utilized his Extreme Eye Power, staring tens of kilometers away at Sword Ridge Peak, his gaze growing colder.

"Whew~"

Lu Ran summoned three Ancient Bronze Mirrors.

He gazed at the starry sky, the Sword Ridge Peak piercing the night sky: "Prepare."

Jing Hong had already summoned an illusory beast fang horn. She stepped forward, arriving before an oval-shaped bronze mirror floating mid-air.

Yu Changsheng also stepped forward, standing before another Ancient Bronze Mirror, ready to release the Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat, to divert the enemy's attention and create more chaos.

"3...2...1!"

Energy surged in Lu Ran's palm, and the three oval-shaped Ancient Bronze Mirrors transformed into floor mirrors in succession.

At the peak of Sword Ridge, between the cracks in the stones, a floor mirror suddenly opened.

Jing Hong immediately leaned forward!

She protruded the upper half of her body from the mirror, clutching the horn close to her mouth, and blew mightily:

"Crack! Crackle!!"

The sound of the horn should have been melodious or deep, but blown by Jing Hong, it resembled thunder and lightning!

War Horn Divine Technique · Thunderclap Horn!

The silent night was utterly shattered.

The thunderous sound was deafening!

It battered the brains and eardrums of everyone on Sword Ridge Peak, and it also heralded the call to arms!

Ran Sect has come to rescue.
