Xu Ran nodded. He watched as a guard jogged away, clearly needing to pay attention due to the badge's presence.

Xu Ran placed the three-ton gemstone down.

He performed the Three Thousand Thunder Moves and darted towards Jing City.

Between the Super Gate and Jing City stretched the Yunmengze Marsh.

He intended to see if any monsters had emerged within Yunmengze...

With such dense pollution, ghosts and Crystal Beasts would certainly be born endlessly...

The Cultivator Academy and the newly formed Godslaying Squad were all carrying out missions in Jing City, clearly indicating the pressure they faced—using mission execution to mobilize talents from various provinces to suppress the chaos.

Half an hour.

Xu Ran saw the shimmering surface of Yunmengze's waters.

"This is disgusting, isn't it? Every day creatures emerge from Yunmengze like they're spawning from a monster cage."

"It's the mischievous eyes above. Haven't seen the eyes dangling? It's said they've already descended five thousand meters. Another five thousand meters, and they'll hit the ground."

"Celestial Summit Pavilion sent the Godslaying Squad to destroy them, but they couldn't. It's terrifying! If they hit the ground, it might be the end of Blue Star."

Their conversation was filled with despair.

Xu Ran looked up and indeed sensed something amiss.

The previously blood-red eyes just densely covered the sky's dome, spinning madly. Now, they had turned into bizarre chandeliers.

Their surfaces wrapped in pink flesh, veins writhing, indescribably grotesque.

Xu Ran leaped into the sky.

The wind howled.

The cultivators who were discussing suddenly looked shocked.

"Hmm? Wasn't there a handsome guy in red just now? How did he suddenly vanish?"

"I saw it too! He disappeared instantly..."

"Could it be a ghost?"

"I definitely didn't see wrong; it must be a ghost!"

The crowd felt chills as they craned their necks, searching everywhere but saw no trace of Xu Ran.

At this moment.

Xu Ran turned into a rocket, hurtling toward the atmosphere, red flames embracing his hair, clothes, and body, shielding him from the burn of high-speed movement.

A minute later.

He arrived at five thousand meters altitude, seeing the descending eyeballs.

Each eyeball hung in the air, casting eerie gazes, transmitting filth and spiritual contamination between them. Despite the low temperature, they weren't frozen; instead, they spun maniacally, flesh writhing as if countless parasites rolled within.

There were at least ten thousand eyeballs.

They sensed Xu Ran's arrival, emitting a chattering laughter.

"Can they even laugh?"

"Ha. Provoking me like this, huh."

Xu Ran couldn't help shaking his head.

Others can't destroy you, but that doesn't mean I can't. Pretending in front of me will only doom you.

Xu Ran sneered coldly.

He aligned his shoulders with the eyeballs.

With a thought, the Annihilation Tribulation Light transformed into a silken band, engulfing the thousands of bizarre eyeballs.

The cries of agony rose and fell, merging into one.

After ten seconds.

Silence returned between heaven and earth, the thousands of strange eyeballs vanished into nothingness, dissipating in the world.

At the breach of the sky.

A strange golden giant eye projected down, staring fixedly at Xu Ran.

Brimming with endless resentment and malignancy.

Xu Ran's expression was serious: "This hole, can connect to your lair, right? I'll slaughter my way over someday and annihilate your entire race."

This sentence carried little emotion.

Yet it made the golden giant eye tremble inexplicably.

Subsequently.

The golden giant eye vanished, as though it had never appeared.

Xu Ran descended.

The fierce wind lifted the hem of his clothes, flapping sharply.

Xu Ran plummeted towards the South Lake of Yunmengze.

That area was already near Jing City.

He saw teams battling monsters there.

Xu Ran plunged to the lake bed.

The Heavy Pupil Treasure Skill shimmered brilliantly, thoroughly searching the area.

No monsters above the Yue Realm were hidden.

"It seems the pollution's intensity causes the continuous spawn of monsters, rather than being the Talisman Vengeful God causing trouble from behind."

Xu Ran understood the situation.

In such a case, he needn't worry.

He strolled across the lake bed, traversing the lake, and emerged onto a riverbank in the suburbs.

With a splash.

Xu Ran leaped out of the water. He landed on the ground.

"Who?!"

Xu Ran's voice was clear: "It's just me..."

Everyone's attention turned towards him.

Upon seeing the familiar face, Li Songlin was shocked.

"Officer?"

"Hmm, your cultivation now exceeds 100,000. Not bad."

"It's all thanks to your protection, Officer... but my aptitude is dull..."

Li Songlin, tongue-tied, struggled for a long time before saying this.

"Alright, where is the bus stop? I need to return to the park."

The others: "Shall we drive you there? Please follow us..."

Xu Ran waved his hand: "No need, you just continue clearing the monsters here. I have feet."

Li Songlin pointed: "Over there, it's about three thousand meters away."

"Understood. Keep patrolling."

Xu Ran nodded and left directly.

Nothing special occurred, so he went back to report safety.

Soon.

He reached the bus station.

The buses here were quite busy.

Xu Ran checked the destination, the plaza at the foot of Qiyun Mountain. An hour, hmm... he could take this ride.

He boarded the bus.

The bus was full of young cultivators.

In the very last seat sat a rather pretty girl alone, wearing school martial attire. From her decorations and badge, she was a cultivator from an out-of-province school.

Maybe she was high school senior age, her expression cold as ice, and the other students didn't dare to sit near her. Only a rich kid, draped in brand-name clothes, sat nearby but kept his distance.

Every time he attempted to move closer, the beautiful student glared at him, causing the wealthy guy to shiver with fear.
