95: Chapter 95: The Ruins End

A full day and night passed.

Xiao Ran was satisfied, and Su Qinghan was satisfied as well.

Therefore, after pulling up his pants, Xiao Ran immediately became much more enthusiastic.

"Qinghan, hurry up!"

"I want to see what kind of damned Yao Beast dares to bully you."

Upon hearing this, Su Qinghan only smiled at the corners of her mouth and did not retort.

There was a strange feeling in her heart, a feeling she had never experienced in all her decades of life.

It felt great!

On the road.

Xiao Ran suddenly remembered something and asked abruptly.

"How did you know I was here?"

Su Qinghan was silent for a moment.

"I saw your escape light."

"Oh."

Xiao Ran did not press the issue further.

But he knew clearly in his heart that there was no such coincidence.

She must have come looking for him on purpose.

Through the Soul connection, Xiao Ran sent a message to Li Changsheng:

"Changsheng, guess who I am with right now?"

Li Changsheng replied instantly: "Su Qinghan?"

"Smart."

"What are you two doing?"

"It's already over."

Li Changsheng was silent for two seconds.

"You bastard, that is my Second Senior Sister!"

"Ever since I Transmigrated over a year ago, she has always taken great care of me, allowing me to feel at home in this different world."

"She can be said to be my beloved relative and friend, a sibling."

"How can you do this to me?"

Xiao Ran was silent upon hearing this, and after a moment, he replied.

"I discovered a Hundred-King Golden Cicada in an Immortal Venerable relic, which is said to have a bonus effect on the comprehension of the Dao."

"It has especially wonderful uses for the Innate Dao Embryo Sacred Body."

Xiao Ran emphasized the last sentence on purpose.

Li Changsheng immediately displayed a fawning expression.

"Second Senior Brother-in-law, look at you, why didn't you say so earlier when you had such a treasure?"

"I have long felt that you and my Second Senior Sister are a match made in heaven; you two are exceptionally well-suited."

"From now on, whoever disagrees, I will get anxious with them."

Xiao Ran: "What a face!"

...

The nest of the Ice Giant Ape was deep within an ice cave.

When the two snuck in, the giant ape was sleeping.

Xiao Ran observed for a moment and transmitted his voice: "I will lure it away, you go in and retrieve the Profound Ice."

Su Qinghan nodded.

Xiao Ran raised his hand, and a strand of Guixu Demonic Light shot toward the giant ape!

The giant ape woke up in alarm and gave furious chase!

Xiao Ran fought while retreating, luring the giant ape out of the ice cave.

Su Qinghan took the opportunity to sneak into the depths of the nest and retrieve the Spiritual Vein heart.

By the time the giant ape realized what had happened, the two had already fled.

...

In a safe valley.

Su Qinghan held the Spiritual Vein heart and looked at Xiao Ran.

"As agreed at the start, I will share half with you."

Xiao Ran waved his hand upon hearing this: "No need, you have already paid the reward."

Su Qinghan did not speak.

She just looked at Xiao Ran, a trace of complexity flashing in her eyes.

After a long while, she said softly:

"In the Sect, you saw all of my past."

Xiao Ran nodded.

"Then you should know... I have never relied on anyone since I was young."

Xiao Ran was silent.

Su Qinghan continued:

"I don't know how to face you; I don't regret what happened that night, but I don't intend to let a third person know about it either."

"I know."

Xiao Ran said.

"Rest assured, I won't tell anyone."

Su Qinghan looked at him.

"Then do you regret it?"

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment.

Then he smiled.

"No regrets."

Su Qinghan was taken aback.

Xiao Ran looked at her and said seriously.

"Su Qinghan, you live tiredly because you always carry everything alone, but some things don't need to be carried alone."

"For example?"

"For example, that night was not something that concerned only you."

Su Qinghan was silent.

After a long while, she turned around.

"I am leaving."

She turned into an escape light and left.

Xiao Ran watched her back and shook his head.

Through the Soul connection, Li Changsheng asked:

"How did it go?"

Xiao Ran said: "She left and told me to keep this matter hidden."

Li Changsheng laughed.

"We are truly brothers in distress."

"Who's to say we aren't."

...

Ancient Fallen Immortal Battlefield · Stars Surrounding the Moon

The last day of the Ancient Fallen Immortal Battlefield.

The distortion of the sky became increasingly intense; the dark red of the sky had condensed into substance, and the pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth became even more brilliant.

The exit was about to open completely.

All the surviving Cultivators were now gathering toward the pillar of light in unison.

By the Lake of Oblivion, more and more people gathered.

Those who came out alive were less than sixty percent of those who entered.

The falling rate was as high as thirty percent; that is not an exaggeration at all.

It might even be worse.

One must know that the people who were able to enter the relic were all Geniuses of their own Sects.

In small places outside, they would all be one-in-ten-thousand Geniuses, and every single one of them was the Jordan of their own story.

Unfortunately, this was the Ancient Fallen Immortal Battlefield.

Ordinary Geniuses entering here were nothing but cannon fodder.

This is the cruelty of Cultivation.

However, every one of those who could survive until now was the elite of the elite.

They had long been waiting here.

And when those eight figures appeared, everyone's gaze gathered on them in unison.

Li Tianxing, First Demon Son of the Eternal Night Demon Sect.

At this moment, the blood-evil Qi around his body was condensed like substance, and every step he took exerted a suffocating pressure on people.

Ling Jianxin, Chief of the Supreme Dao Palace.

His Sword Intent was restrained, yet it caused the surrounding space to faintly distort, and people avoided him wherever he passed.

White Bone Scholar, successor of the Netherworld Bone Venerable, had nine dark gold patterns on his bone armor flowing with eerie radiance.

Jian Wuchen, Prodigy of the Heavenly Sword Sect, had Sword Qi soaring into the sky, his sharpness fully exposed.

Su Qinghan, after her Xuan Yin Immortal Body transformed, was surrounded by a layer of faint, chaotic clear Qi, making her depth unfathomable to others.

Liu Ruyan, with Major Achievement in the Myriad Desire Demonic Technique.

Every frown and smile naturally carried allure, making those with slightly lower cultivation levels dare not look directly at her.

Li Changsheng, with Minor Achievement in the Innate Dao Embryo, had clear Qi around his body resonating with heaven and earth, giving people the illusion of returning to simplicity.

Xiao Ran, possessor of the Myriad Dao Guixu Body.

His aura was the most obscure and unpredictable; clearly standing there, he made people feel like a bottomless abyss that could swallow everything at any moment.

Eight people, eight completely different temperaments.

But there was one point in common.

Their auras were all more than twice as strong as before they entered!

"Those are the eight people who obtained the Immortal-Demon Inheritance..."

"As expected of the big brothers who could obtain the complete Immortal-Demon tokens, each one has an extraordinary temperament and is heroically imposing."

"That is Li Tianxing of the Eternal Night Demon Sect; I saw with my own eyes him fighting three Nascent Soul old monsters alone!"

"That Xiao Ran is even more terrifying; it is said that he killed Blood Buddha Ku Chan alone!"

"And that Li Changsheng, Innate Dao Embryo..."

Whispers rose and fell one after another.

Envy, jealousy, awe, wariness... all kinds of gazes intertwined.

Xiao Ran walked in the crowd with a normal expression.

He could feel the complex emotions in those gazes.

There were those who wanted to come up and build connections, those who were secretly gnashing their teeth, and those who were greedily staring at his storage ring...

But no one dared to move.

With the eight gathered together, who would dare to move?

Moreover, they all knew.

There were still big shots from various Sects waiting outside.

These individuals were all Geniuses of top-tier Sects; they couldn't be trifled with, couldn't be trifled with.

The crowd whispered.

Not long after, the exit of the relic opened completely.

Li Tianxing scanned the crowd and said indifferently.

"The exit is open, let's go."

The eight individuals each took a step and stepped into the pillar of light.
