Who is he?

An Immortal Sheep Believer?

Qingying quickly composed herself, secretly pondering. Among the disciples of all gods and demons, there were not many whose speed could reach such a level.

Combined with the sound of mist being sprayed, a jaw-dropping answer emerged.

This person is a disciple of the Nine-class God·Immortal Sheep!

Cheng Xin?

No, how could it possibly be Senior Cheng?

Judging by the mysterious man's voice, it was clearly a young man's...

Qingying held tightly to her Magic Artifact, the Listening Rain Umbrella with one hand, and wrapped the other around the invisible youth.

"Snap!"

Unexpectedly, an equally invisible ribbon accurately wrapped around her wrist, pulling her hand away, preventing her from touching its master.

So domineering.

Its master hugging her waist, that's allowed.

But if she wanted to touch him, no way!

Qingying naturally realized that what stopped her was a Magic Artifact, hidden very well.

Clearly, she had contact with this Magic Artifact, yet she couldn't feel its presence at all.

Since she had determined that the mysterious youth was a disciple of Immortal Sheep, she didn't regard the Invisibility Technique as a Divine Technique but as the effect of some Magic Artifact.

Qingying's expression was complex, biting her lower lip.

Who knew how powerful this mysterious clansman truly was.

Just as her mind was turning over, she suddenly felt herself being pulled backward. She immediately opened her oiled paper umbrella, adjusting her posture, landing steadily on the ground.

"Hoo~~~"

In the thick sea of mist, Qingying slid backward, stirring up layers of gray mist.

"Hello?" she called out, looking around.

"Boom!"

From the sky far away came the dreadful sounds of gods clashing.

The earth-shattering collision made the world she was in feel even more dead and silent.

"Thank you, benefactor, for your help. Could you reveal yourself for Qingying to see?" Qingying said, holding her oiled paper umbrella.

The surroundings remained silent.

Had the mysterious youth left?

Qingying waited patiently for a long time, still speaking softly: "Are you a disciple of the Immortal Sheep Sect? I have old ties with Senior Cheng Xin of your sect. We once fought side by side..."

"Ah?" An abrupt voice of surprise startled Qingying.

Actually, Lu Ran was also startled!

After leaving Qingying, he immediately returned to the frontline, voraciously devouring dead souls.

Just now, Lu Ran was almost caught in the crossfire and instinctively dodged with Instant Teleportation.

Unexpectedly, when he just returned here, he heard Qingying revealing such information.

Cheng Xin's grandfather?

The fifth son of the Cheng Family who disappeared for decades?

"Benefactor?" Qingying looked in the direction of the voice.

"Wait for me here."

The mysterious youth left a sentence and then fell silent again.

Qingying hesitated for a moment, still standing silently in her place, gazing southward.

The Third Layer of Heaven was already dim.

From such a distance, she couldn't even see the most iconic Divine Mountain, only able to hear the sounds.

Qingying habitually bit her lower lip, constantly recalling the few words of the mysterious youth.

Don't give up.

Wait for me here.

The first sentence was a gentle whisper, the second became much more serious, sounding a bit domineering.

Not quite like the style of an Immortal Sheep disciple.

So, could this mysterious "youth" also be an elder, like Senior Cheng Xin, an original disciple whose voice just sounded young?

Yes, aside from the original disciples, how could someone from the Immortal Sheep Sect enter the Heavenly Realm?

Or perhaps, he truly was very young.

It's just that his fate mirrored her own, once a disciple under a First-class God, later forced to join another sect?

Qingying's mind was in turmoil.

She held the oiled paper umbrella in both hands, her mind matching numerous images to the mysterious person.

Switching constantly between a handsome youth and an immortal-like, white-bearded elder.

Qingying never expected that she would wait until the battle's end.

Lu Ran also didn't expect that even with the arrival of a pair of First-class Gods and Demons, the Faceless Jade Venerable could still press the God Demon faction!

Moreover, although Faceless Jade Venerable had the upper hand, he chose to retreat.

Could it be that, if they dragged on any longer, more gods and demons would come to aid?

This was no longer within Lu Ran's consideration, as he had eaten his fill, his head buzzing nonstop.

[Young Master!! I love you so much!!]

[Shut up!] Lu Ran scolded.

Eating doesn't shut your mouth.

Leveling up can't shut your mouth?

Indeed, the Mad Immortal Stone Sculpture was already vibrating, striding into the Third Level of the Heavenly Realm.

Just one trip to the frontline, encountering the great war between gods and demons and foreign enemies, and Lu Ran was stuffed full!

It was far better than staying near the Divine Mountain in the First and Second Heavens, waiting aimlessly.

Even more wonderful was that there were four gods participating this time!

Martial Artist, Yin Flower Dan, Woman Hero, and Faceless Jade Venerable, all capable of directly absorbing dead souls!

With so many resources missing from the battlefield, who could be blamed?

You all go ahead and guess~

This one is off with a tap on the behind!

In the Sculpture Garden at this time, both the Xian Mo and Mad Immortal Stone Sculptures were leveling up. Lu Ran was in poor condition and didn't dare to take too long, immediately flashing back.

Qingying had finally adjusted her state, faintly sensing the presence of Divine Power.

She tentatively called: "Senior?"

Lu Ran: "..."

"May I ask for Senior's esteemed name?" Qingying inquired.

"And you?" Lu Ran countered.

"Junior's surname is Hua, first name Qingying." Hua Qingying immediately responded.

Hua as a surname?

Quite rare.

But Lu Ran was not too surprised, with famous figures like Hua Mulan and Hua Rong, there were many well-known people.

Lu Ran couldn't do much else, but he had listened to many storytelling sessions; back in the human world, he even used to fall asleep listening to them...

"Hua Qingying, this name is truly beautiful~" Lu Ran murmured.

Hua Qingying felt a slight tremor in her heart.

Whether it was the voice or the tone, the other party seemed like a young person, without any signs of age.

"By the way!" Lu Ran said again, "You said you fought side by side with Cheng Xin?"

"Yes."

"Where is Cheng Xin? Is he also in the Third Heaven?" Lu Ran asked.

"Cheng Senior is... at the front line! He should be stationed at the southwestern Blood Dust Divine Mountain."

Hua Qingying was very puzzled, throwing out the Immortal Sheep disciple was meant to open up the situation.

But this mysterious person is unaware of the fellow disciple's information?

"Blood Dust Divine Mountain." Lu Ran understood in his heart and let out a big sigh of relief.

Grandpa Cheng isn't dead!

It turns out, the long-missing fifth member of the Cheng Family has always been under Lord Immortal Sheep's command.

You cold-hearted sheep!

Why didn't you directly tell Cheng Yi and Cheng Li, instead of letting the two old men worry for so many years?

Blood Dust Divine Mountain,

is exactly where Lord Immortal Sheep resides!

When Lu Ran was roaming the First Layer of Heaven, he never went to such a remote place.

He didn't have a deliberate reason to go there, it's impossible to live in seclusion near the Blood Dust Divine Mountain.

Stealing food from his own Lord Immortal Sheep?

Lu Ran wouldn't still be human!

The most crucial thing, according to Huangfu Zhao, besides Dust Shadow Flower – Evil Mirror Demon minions permanently stationed there, the Blood Skull Clan also appears on that mountain.

Blood Skull!

This kind of evil demon is the fundamental reason why Lu Ran stayed away from the Blood Dust Divine Mountain.

However, Huangfu Zhao's wording was special, the Blood Skull Clan is not a permanent garrison, the clan's terrifying combat power often has them wandering outside.

Other god demon minions collect Holy Spirit Energy everywhere, avoiding Faceless Jade Venerable at all costs.

But Blood Skull is different!

They wield a Blood Blade, enforcing the law around the world.

"Senior?" Hua Qingying called softly.

"Hmm." Lu Ran responded casually, sounding somewhat absent-minded.

If it were before, he would have figured out many things already, but now his brain was buzzing, making it hard to think.

In the First Layer of Heaven, there was no concept of "front line."

As for the Second Heaven, Lu Ran was unclear, and Huangfu Zhao only knew the general situation of the First Layer of Heaven.

But in this Third Heaven, Lu Ran obtained a piece of information: is Blood Dust Divine Mountain the front line?

Is it like this divine mountain guarded by the God·Lady Ying here?

Strange!

Why does Faceless Jade Venerable run free in the First Layer of Heaven and Second Heaven?

Yet in the Highest Heaven, there's a "front line"?

Lu Ran followed Hua Qingying all the way here, discovering a peaceful journey where wars were mostly concentrated on the defensive front line...

"Uh." Lu Ran held his forehead with one hand, massaging his temples.

His little head buzzing!

"Is the senior injured? You can return with me to Hua Qing Divine Mountain, the Crying Willow Clan has healing techniques..."

Eighth-class Evil God·Crying Willow.

The God·Master of Rain's two facets, but it does not resemble a willow tree, more like the willow branch held during the Master of Rain's sacrifices and rain prayers.

Crying Willow indeed has healing techniques, but the effects... well, it's hard to say.

What Hua Qingying referred to as "Hua Qing Divine Mountain" is likely the divine mountain she guards.

"Go back?" Lu Ran snorted, "The ten green lamps you brought are all destroyed, not fulfilling the task assigned by the God. If you go back, you might suffer humiliation again."

Hua Qingying tightened her grip on the umbrella handle.

She realized that this mysterious senior knows many things!

Instead of using the word "punishment," he used "humiliation."

Has this person seen the scene where she was trampled under Chenghua Sect Leader's feet, being tortured until she vomited blood?

"Don't go back anymore, from now on, you come with me."

Lu Ran rubbed his temples, feeling distressed.

From the moment he helped, there was no way to send the girl back.

There's a risk of exposure!

"Sigh..." Lu Ran sighed inwardly.

The great act of demon slaying is right ahead, he shouldn't be distracted.

But seeing a member of his human clan struggling on the brink of death, how could he stay indifferent?

"Follow... you?" Hua Qingying was a bit confused.

"Yes, follow me." Lu Ran closed his eyes, furrowing his brows, "Just right, there's a divine battle here, dying in this battle is fitting."

Hua Qingying became even more confused.

What does this mean, faking death?

There's no possibility of faking death between the God and human believers' contract unless breaking the contract... hmm?

Hua Qingying felt a huge wave of shock within, seemingly realizing what the other party intended to do.

"Senior does not know!" Hua Qingying said anxiously, "Qingying... Qingying can't leave the Chenghua Sect."

"Why?"

"I... I..." Hua Qingying opened her mouth but was somewhat stuck.

Lu Ran finally opened his eyes, looking at the helpless woman, suddenly uttering: "They say appearance comes from the heart.

You are so dignified and serene, you must be someone with upright values and a grateful heart."

Hua Qingying: ???

She was completely dumbfounded.

Slowly confirms that the mysterious and invisible person is a young man.

In this dark and oppressive Heavenly Realm battlefield, she hadn't heard such vivid and lively words in a long time.

"I clearly tell you, I want to blackmail you for gratitude!" Lu Ran directly stated, "Don't respect Chenghua anymore in the future.

I will give you the skills of the Chenghua Sect."

Hua Qingying's eyes widened: !!!

After a while, she trembled and said: "Senior, who exactly are you... you... are you a senior?"

Now, it was Lu Ran's turn to be dumbfounded.

He had anticipated that Hua Qingying would ask various questions, and prepared plastic bags.

But you...

The amount of information in the last sentence exploded, yet you focus on my age?

Alright, alright!

I've been pretending all my life, you're the first to make me put the bag back in my pocket!

Lu Ran rubbed his temples, muttering discontentedly: "Could be, I'm fine with anything~"

Hua Qingying: "..."
