Chapter 108: Li Rans Devil Path!

Li Ran and Qin Ruyan left the Sacred Hall and headed down the mountain.

Demon Peak had the Grand Emperor's Dao, which made it impossible to fly here, including the use of flying magical artifacts.

They had to pass through the mountain gate obediently, otherwise, they would be crushed to death by the Dao.

Qin Ruyan nervously followed behind him.

The first time the two met, they were unhappy with each other. And this time, she was at Li Ran’s turf. How could she not panic?

Fortunately, Li Ran had no intention of pursuing the matter and remained silent on the way.

"Sheng Zi."

"Lord Sheng Zi."

"Greetings, Lord Sheng Zi."

Along the way, the disciples greeted him respectfully.

Qin Ruyan was able to tell that these disciples were not forced to greet him by his status, but rather respected and worshipped him from the bottom of their hearts.

She similarly was the Holy Maiden, but this feeling was something she could not experience in the sect.

She couldn't help but say, "It seems like Sheng Zi Li has great prestige in the sect."

Li Ran said indifferently, "Only if you care about their lives will they protect your dignity."

Before, most of them had been afraid of him. Only after he had sent back many of his disciples had he obtained everyone's respect.

Such things were mutual. She knew that he was mocking her.

That day, when she saw her fellow disciples die under his spear, she had no intention of stopping him at all. In fact, she was a little relieved that she was not the one who died.

But shouldn't the Devil Sects be selfish?

This was a concept that was planted to her from a young age, and it was also the impression that most people had of the Devil Sects.

"Sheng Zi Li's thoughts are quite special."

Qin Ruyan thought for a moment and said, "Unlike the other Devil Sects, they are so calculative."

"Scheming?"

Li Ran sneered, "I'll take what I want. Why would I have to scheme? Cultivation had an indomitable aura, and those who were extremely serious would never be able to enter the hall of elegance!"

Qin Ruyan was stunned for a moment. She then shook her head and said, "What you said sounds like a swordsman from the Myriad Sword Pavilion, not the Sheng Zi of the Devil Sect."

"Then what do you think is a devil?" Li Ran asked back.

Qin Ruyan thought for a moment and realized that she was unable to answer.

She only knew how to survive among the devil sects, but she did not seriously think about what a devil was.

"Treading the path of destroying heaven, overturning the heaven and earth, grasping yin and yang, there is no end.”

"My will is the will of Heaven, and my methods are of my own!”

“This is the devil’s path!" Li Ran said with a cold smile. "Cultivation is a struggle against the heavens. Those who only know how to scheme will eventually become corpses along the Immortal Path!"

This was what he had been thinking all along. It was a good opportunity for him to express his thoughts.

Qin Ruyan was stunned. In her impression, the Devil Sects seemed to only be able to live in the shadows. This world was the world of the Righteous Path.

However, Li Ran's words completely shocked her.

Seize the Heavenly Dao, grasp Yin and Yang?

What kind of confidence and imposingness was this!

"No wonder Sheng Zi Li was able to crush all the heavenly geniuses with a single stroke. Merely this disposition isn't something we can compare to." Qin Ruyan gave a bitter smile

These words were not words of flattery. They came from the bottom of her heart.

However, Li Ran didn't accept her comment and sneered. "Don't compare me to you! Abducting a young girl and absorbing her essence? In my opinion, your Joyous Unity Sect is worse than the maggots in the mud!"

There were too many unfair things happening in the world, and he couldn't be bothered to look at all of them individually.

But this did not affect his disdain for the Joyous Unity Sect.

Hearing this, Qin Ruyan's face paled.

However, she didn't get angry. Instead, she said in a low voice, "My sect's affairs are quite complicated. Sect Master Liu pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang. He never forces others. Only Ancestor Huan Xi is the one who picks yin to nourish the yang…"

"You don't need to explain to me," Li Ran interrupted. "I'm not interested."

Qin Ruyan's breathing became sluggish. With a bitter smile, she stopped talking.

As they walked out of the mountain gate, Li Ran stopped.

"Holy Maiden Qin, I'll send you here. Take care.” After saying that, he was about to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Li Ran asked impatiently, "What’s the problem?"

Qin Ruyan said, "That servant of yours has a Maiden Spirit Body. Do you know about this?"

"I know." Li Ran nodded.

Qin Ruyan continued, "For any cultivator, this constitution is extremely tempting. Especially for the dual cultivation sects, they are even more eager to obtain it.“

She took out a black medallion and said, "This is Holy Maiden of Joyous Unity Sect’s secret medallion. With this medallion, no dual cultivation sect in the Vast Land would dare to touch her."

Li Ran frowned.

What did this mean?

Just now, his attitude had been vile, and he had even insulted her sect, yet she had even given him the title plate?

Could this girl be a masochist!

Qin Ruyan saw through his thoughts and explained, "Don’t misunderstand. Your words about the ‘devil' just now gave me some insights. This is just a reciprocation."

Li Ran refused, "I'll protect my people. I won't have to trouble you."

Qin Ruyan hurriedly said, "I know you look down on the Joyous Unity Sect, but for her safety, I hope you can accept it."

"What happened before is an example. You can't always be by her side, correct?"

When Li Ran heard this, he thought for a moment and reached out to take it.

He had seen the plate with his eyes, but there was nothing fishy about it.

"I'll accept the title plate and accept your favor."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Qin Ruyan did not know why she was so happy to see him accept her token.

"Li Ran… he is a special person."

She took a serious look at his back, and with a charming smile, her figure turned into green smoke and dissipated.

—

The cold wind whistled and snowflakes fluttered.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was getting closer and closer to the Frost Origin Festival.

In the Sect Master's bedroom.

Leng Wuyan propped her chin up and looked out of the window in boredom. "I wonder what Ran'er is busy with. He hasn't come looking for me in the past few days…

"Could it be that you've forgotten your agreement with me?”

"Recently, the female disciples of the sect seem to be a bit indecent. They surround Ran'er every day and even give him gifts…" Suddenly, she thought of something and sat up straight. "Right, a gift!“

"He's prepared so much for me, but I don't seem to have given him anything!

"How stupid!"

Leng Wuyan forcefully knocked her head.

"It must be because I didn't prepare a gift for him. He doesn't feel well, so he didn't come to me!”

"Yes, a gift…"

Leng Wuyan tugged at her hair as she pondered. "What should I give him?"

Unlike Li Ran, her knowledge in this area was too limited…
