When the Ran Sect members returned to the island, the battle wasn't as intense as imagined.

The fog on the battlefield was so thick that you couldn't see your hand, greatly impacting both sides of the war.

Some disciples of Thunder Mountain were trying to fish in troubled waters.

These people were mostly diehard loyalists of Sect Master Lv Xiao, still fantasizing that the Great Sect Master Lv could destroy the Ran Sect, return victorious, and lead them to conquer the Qianzhou Islands.

There were also many who, seeing the situation unfavorable, discreetly left the battlefield.

The choice of the second type of people was undoubtedly correct!

Because, with the entrance of Lu Ran and others, the battle fell into a lopsided situation.

No one understands how to fish in troubled waters better than Lu Ran!

After temporarily handing over the Second-rank Divine Weapon·Purple Thunder Mad Dragon Spear to Yan God General for safekeeping, he initiated a furious slaughter mode!

There was also a piece of news that spread across Mist Rain Lake, invigorating the Thousand Boat Alliance soldiers and shaking the morale of Thunder Mountain's troops:

Lv Xiao is dead!

Lv Xiao is dead??

All who heard were emotionally disturbed!

This invasion war by strong gods' believers against weak gods' disciples ultimately ended with the defeat of Thunder Mountain's troops.

The battle gradually calmed down.

Lu Ran retrieved the Magic Artifact Fragment·Rebirth Money from Deng Yuxiang, then patrolled over Mist Rain Lake, frantically absorbing the souls of the deceased.

The fog was very dense.

Even with Lu Ran's Pupil of the Dead World wide open, it was impossible to see the souls from afar.

With the range perception of Rebirth Money, his Soul Binding efficiency increased significantly.

Lu Ran was full!

Really, abundantly satisfied...

He did not activate the Divine Sculpture of Dong Ting, Divine Sculpture of Chenghua, Divine Sculpture of Bi He, and Divine Sculpture of Sword Lotus in the Sculpture Garden.

Thus, he still didn't know how high the level of these stone sculptures was.

Especially regarding the Divine Sculpture of Dong Ting!

Lu Ran was full of anticipation!

Someday in the future, when he activates this Divine Sculpture, to what terrifying level will it ultimately ascend?

Might it be the Heavenly Realm?

Hopefully!

Speaking of which, if the stone sculpture truly could ascend to the Heavenly Realm, then for how long would his head have to buzz with excitement?

What a delightful worry...

While Lu Ran was recklessly gathering souls, some Thunder Mountain soldiers, not knowing their place, fled to the lakeside, trying to unleash the ultimate move of the Dongting Sect.

However, the Thousand Boat Alliance members maintained a sky defense net at all times.

In the foggy environment, as long as they coordinated properly, the believers' divine power would not run short!

Under the patrol and encouragement of the Island Masters Tianya and Mingyue, the Thousand Boat Alliance was truly united, collectively guarding the Alliance Hierarch's advancement.

Lu Ran certainly would not allow the troublemakers to act with impunity; he took the Evil Shadow Guardian to patrol the lake, slaying many Thunder Mountain soldiers.

This invasion battle finally came to an end.

Or rather, when the Ran Sect killed the Sect Master of Thunder Mountain, the war had already ended.

When the news of the Master of Ran Sect killing the Thunder Mountain Sect Master spread across the Qianzhou Islands, regardless of whether both sides of the war believed it or not...

One side was weakening, while the other was surging with momentum; it was an undeniable fact!

As evening approached, Lu Ran arranged for the Ran Sect generals to guard all four directions of Fuyao Island, and dispatched Rosy Glow, Silent Night, and the Eight Desolate Blade to patrol around Fuyao Island with the three Divine Weapons.

After arranging everything, he returned to Green Lotus Island with Jiang Ruyi.

"Phew..."

Lu Ran let out a heavy sigh, sprawling lazily on the chair.

"Tired?" Jiang Ruyi stood beside Lu Ran, gently arranging his damp hair with one hand.

"Yes." Lu Ran wrapped his arms around her delicate body, holding her, sitting her on his lap.

He was indeed physically weary.

But his heart was filled with a sense of achievement!

The Qianzhou Islands were considered defended!

Master Lv and his two Ladies were all executed; only a group of defeated remnants escaped back to Thunder Mountain, would they dare return?

Would they dare return?

If they dare,

Then the Ran Sect will continue to confront them!

Having slain Master Lv, are we still afraid of the remnants of Thunder Mountain?

If they don't dare to come...

Then the Ran Sect will slay them over there!

In the future, we will visit, take a leisurely stroll through Master Lv's Thunder Mountain!

Thinking quietly in his heart, Lu Ran slightly tilted his head, and captured the soft lips of his fiancée.

"Mm." Jiang Ruyi closed her beautiful eyes.

She did not push Lu Ran away but reached out a cold, soft jade hand to touch his cheek.

The great decisive battle between Lu Ran and Lv Xiao had affected many people's souls.

Jiang Ruyi did not appear because she was very aware that in such a battlefield environment, facing enemies of that level, it was difficult for her to help Lu Ran.

Rushing forward might instead be targeted by the enemy as a breakthrough point.

Jiang Ruyi was calm enough, knowing how to act in a way that would benefit Lu Ran the most. At that time, she immediately ordered Yu Changsheng and He Yingcai to go to aid.

Only, Mr. Cong Long earnestly persuaded Lady Sect Leader not to go and temporarily lent the Divine Weapon·Smoke and Rain Fan to He Yingcai, asking her to continue guarding by the Lady's side.

Afterward, Yu Changsheng disappeared into the fog.

When Lu Ran, Yu Changsheng, and others safely returned, Jiang Ruyi and He Yingcai finally lowered their worried hearts.

However, since the war was not yet over, Jiang Ruyi remained silent, pride or worry, waiting until the hostilities calmed down to speak.

At this moment, Lu Ran's greedy conduct provided her an opportunity.

In the dark hall, amidst thick fog.

Jiang Ruyi lavished her tenderness, feeling Lu Ran's heart, joyous and restless from victory.

Even though, this was just a stage victory.

Yet Jiang Ruyi truly doubts whether Thunder Mountain still has the courage to cause trouble again.

After a long while, Lu Ran finally let her go.

Jiang Fairy had rosy cheeks, burying her head in Lu Ran's neck, breathing gently, feeling a hint of warmth.

"Hand."

"Hm?" Jiang Ruyi only felt her hand being held.

Then, she felt a chill on her wrist.

This is... the Ice Heart Bracelet?

"I have spirit defense techniques, the effects would overlap." In the darkness, Lu Ran's low whisper was heard.

What Lu Ran said was not untrue, he has the Ghost General's Will, the Evil Cloud Will, the Sea's Will...

What does it mean to have great ambitions?

And the effect of the Magic Artifact·Ice Heart Bracelet is to construct a mental defense system for the wearer.

"The others don't have mental defense either," Jiang Ruyi whispered.

It's like drought for some and flood for others.

Lu Ran possesses a plethora of spirit defense techniques, while others have nothing—not even a "Will."

"Hmm..." Lu Ran held his fiancée's wrist, placed it before his eyes, and examined it carefully.

The darkness could not blind his eyes.

No matter how thick the mist, as long as he was close enough, he could see without hindrance.

The Ice Heart Bracelet was exceptionally beautiful!

Like ice crystals, it was crystal clear, with threads of energy slowly flowing within, resembling floating snowflakes, carrying their unique purity and cold beauty.

It suited the snowy white wrist of Jiang Ruyi more than perfectly.

Indeed fitting!

"It suits you," Lu Ran whispered.

The group of protectors and a few Divine Generals either had purification or perception abilities, giving them more tolerance and the ability to detect danger and predict risks first.

Let's leave the Ice Heart Bracelet for Jiang Ruyi.

In the Ran Sect, her status is extraordinary, and she also constantly fills in for Lu Ran in command. Being the brain of a unit, maintaining clarity and calmness is naturally required.

"Okay." Jiang Ruyi gently held the bracelet on her wrist, whispering, "Okay."

"The Blood Jade Ring and the Moonlight Tassel Pouch are also with me," Lu Ran said, inhaling the fragrance of Jiang Ruyi's hair, contemplating the scent of light jasmine, and considering the distribution plan.

The Magic Artifact·Blood Jade Ring can grant the wearer great power.

Although Lu Ran possesses skills for amplifying power like Fierce Heavenly Power, Soul Splitting Power, and Wilderness Power, wearing this artifact doesn't actually make the effects overlap.

In the morning, when Lu Ran controlled the Violet Thunder Mad Dragon Spear, he had already experimented with it.

But with the Fierce Heavenly Power, Lu Ran has exceeded his level's strength, able to cut open the Water Flow Armor of someone of the same realm with one swing.

From this perspective, it's undoubtedly a waste of resources!

If the Magic Artifact·Blood Jade Ring is worn by Deng Yuxiang, she would effectively have an extra Divine Technique·Fierce Sky Power.

The Big Nightmare should also be able to break the Water Flow Armor of someone of the same realm (Sea Realm) with one strike!

"I plan to give the Blood Jade Ring to the Big Nightmare, what do you think?" Lu Ran asked.

"Sure." Jiang Ruyi nodded gently.

Whether in the identity of Night Charm herself or as an Immortal Sheep Believer, neither has provided Deng Yuxiang with techniques for amplifying power.

Seeing his fiancée agree, Lu Ran nodded and said, "Earlier today, Mr. Cong Long subtly suggested to me.

He said that the Moonlight Tassel Pouch could be given to someone of a lower rank."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruyi remained silent.

Her thought was contrary, as she felt Mr. Cong Long was quite suitable for this pouch.

Yu Changsheng is already at the Sea Realm·Fourth Rank, if he could soon reach the peak, wouldn't he be close to advancing to the Heavenly Realm?

Or maybe Mr. Cong Long's strength and realm were too high, and he looked down on this slight increase in divine power absorption speed?

"Do you have a different thought?" Lu Ran felt something in his heart and asked softly.

Jiang Ruyi thought again and again, still whispering, "You decide."

"Okay, then we'll give it to the Evil Shadow Guardian." Lu Ran said straightforwardly.

The Ice Heart Bracelet suits the aloof Jiang Ruyi.

The Blood Jade Ring goes to the strong Deng Yuxiang.

The Moonlight Tassel Pouch is for Evil Moon... hmm, the Evil Shadow Guardian wielding the Evil Moon Blade.

That's settled!

As for that second-rank divine weapon·Violet Thunder Mad Dragon Spear...

Wow!

In the vast Ran Sect, there's actually no one who uses a spear?!

This group of ours is still too weak.

Does it have to be me personally... wait a minute!

The old man Cheng Xin, wandering in the Holy Spirit Mountain, does he use a gun or a spear?

Furthermore, the old man Cheng Yi, stationed in the Human World·Luoxian Mountain, definitely specializes in using a spear!

This is a valuable wealth left to Lu Ran by the Immortal Sheep Lord, absolutely loyal subordinates...

[Master.]

[Hmm?] Lu Ran suddenly heard Yan Shuangzi's message.

[Someone's coming.]

[Oh?] Knowing that Jiang Ruyi was thin-skinned, even in darkness and thick mist, Lu Ran picked up the girl in his arms and placed her on the seat beside him.

"Knock, knock, knock~"

A knocking sound followed, and a familiar voice came: "Lu Ran?"

He Qifeng?

This City Lord of the Forbidden City, truly in a rush?

The woman's full-bodied voice came again: "The Ran Sect soldiers stationed around Fuyao Island said you and your wife returned to rest, I'm not disturbing you, right?"

Lu Ran: "..."

You think?

He Qifeng, with the Tianzi Sword hanging on her waist, felt the mental message transmitted by the divine weapon.

With absolute strength and strong personal charm, she made the Tianzi Sword accept her in just one day.

"What?" He Qifeng stood with hands behind her back, in front of Lu Ran's house, "Hiding, not making a sound?"

Lu Ran rolled his eyes: "My wife and I are about to sleep, after midnight, we still have to rotate shifts, letting the Ran Sect soldiers rest."

"Squeak~"

He Qifeng pushed open the wooden door casually, saying, "Good, not disturbing then."

Lu Ran: ???

He Qifeng stepped in and closed the door behind her.

In the dark, Lu Ran's deep voice came: "An honorable City Lord of the Forbidden City, the second Heavenly Pride of Da Xia, and a Sea Realm great power...

And you're this impatient?"

"Huh." He Qifeng chuckled coldly.

I knew it!

The Ran dog praised before, definitely didn't hold in a good fart!

...

On the fifth day of the New Year, welcoming the God of Wealth, I wish everyone full fortune in their journey!
