Versatile Mage: Holy Spirit Puni, divine glory comes to the world!

Chapter 176 Hua Zhanhong's Visit! Does the Rooftop Penetrate the Human World?
-

Back in Asuka City, I took a quick look at its size. In the past year or two, it has recruited quite a few people, and a group of elite mages have already been stationed there.

Of course, it wasn't inside the city. The city was mostly filled with mages who came because of its reputation. The sea monsters had been eliminated, so this place finally had a bit more protection.

The real backbone is on Mount Asuka. Not long ago, Eisendall and Bora took their positions, which can be said to be the face of the show and extremely intimidating.

As he walked and observed, Lü Ran was quite satisfied with the current development. However, at present, the company was only well-known domestically, and remained unknown internationally.

No matter, once we kill a few emperors, everything will be fine. Although it sounds a bit unrealistic, this is the basic operation of the future number one power in the country.

As they walked, they gradually entered the mountains. Lü Ran and Keye were so quiet that unless one was a highly skilled mage, most people would not be able to find their traces.

"Please stop! Unauthorized persons are not allowed to enter Asuka Mountain!" Just then, a chill swept over them, and a woman dressed in classical robes appeared.

At first glance, Lü Ran thought it was a prank by Mu Ningxue, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Qin Yu'er, who had come to work after being unsealed in the Tianshan Mountains.

"Huh?" Qin Yu'er was stunned for a moment after exchanging glances with Qin Yu'er, then a smile appeared on her beautiful, icy face. "It's you? I'm sorry for being so forward, I didn't recognize you for a moment."

Just now, Qin Yu'er only sensed a terrifying aura. As one of the guardians of this mountain, she naturally had to patrol for danger at all times, ever since the mountain was cultivated.
The area around Mount Asuka is considered a fertile land. The mines that had been seized by the demon tribes have been gradually reclaimed, which has provided some security for working capital.

"It's a small problem, but it's all thanks to your dedication," Lü Ran said with a smile. "Take me to the base to take a look."

"Okay." Qin Yu'er nodded gently and led the way. With each slight movement, snowflakes fell and elements gathered, making her look like a king of ice.

The three continued deeper and arrived at a training ground. There were many mages there, some of them mid-level and some of high-level. They had all come because of the reputation of the place and had their own dreams.

“These are all graduates of Mingzhu Academy,” Qin Yu’er said. “They were sent by Dean Xiao. They are all either ambitious or outstanding graduates.”

"Oh?" Lu Ran raised an eyebrow after hearing this. "Dean Xiao really cares about me. He sent people to me as soon as the company was established. Not bad."

After saying a few words, Lü Ran glanced ahead, frowned, and saw a group of military mages in uniform with serious expressions gathered there.

"What are they doing?" Lü Ran turned her head and asked Qin Yu'er.

"The Southern Army Commander has arrived," Qin Yu'er replied.

“Hua Zhanhong?” Lu Ran blurted out a name.

Qin Yu'er nodded. "It's him, no doubt."

Mentioning Hua Zhanhong reminds Qin Yu'er of the past before she was frozen in ice. However, once she was freed from the ice, she had already put the past behind her.

Qin Yu'er didn't want to dwell on the past. All she wanted now was to stay here and repay the debt of gratitude. She was quite content with her life here.

On Flying Bird Mountain, in a conference room, Mu Ningxue was quickly reviewing the documents, reading them in three lines at a glance. She stretched and found a hand on her shoulder. She smiled and said, "It's okay, Sister Yu'er, it doesn't matter if you're a little tired."

Immediately afterwards, Mu Ningxue seemed to sense something was wrong. As she turned around abruptly, a familiar silhouette came into view, making her pause in surprise.

"You still know how to come back?" After a long while, Mu Ningxue finally managed to utter these five words. The next second, she stood up, the two hugged, and then sat down.

Then, Lü Ran recounted everything he had seen, heard, and experienced in detail, leaving Mu Ningxue's eyes wide with astonishment!
Kill Khufu? Suppress the Emperor of Light?
These events are all too unbelievable, including the fall of the Black Court Pope, which is also a huge bombshell!

However, as long as it's Lü Ran, it seems that all problems are no longer problems! Having such a pillar of support is truly reassuring.

Getting back to the main point, regarding Hua Zhanhong, he came because of his reputation, and Lü Ran also planned to meet him. Although they didn't have much interaction, this Fire God...
They offered some help, both overtly and covertly. After making their decision, the two got up and went to the reception room. As soon as they arrived, they saw Eisendall talking with Hua Zhanhong.

Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man with black hair and beard, wearing a Zhongshan suit. He exuded an imposing and domineering aura.

"Senior." As soon as he entered, Lü Ran greeted him politely.

Hua Zhanhong turned around, saw Lü Ran, and said with a smile, "Looks like I'm in luck. I only waited all morning and this missing person has finally appeared."

"Being more capable always means being busier. You guys keep chatting, I'll head out now."

Eisendall chuckled and said something, then closed his eyes and mysteriously transformed into a dark shadow.

Lü Ran and Mu Ningxue sat on the other side, and then the three of them began to say something symbolically.

"The Southern Demon Empire is extremely rampant, and I've managed to steal half a day of leisure," Hua Zhanhong said with a smile.

“I am no different,” Lü Ran smiled. “Tomorrow, I still have to go to Mu Pang to settle some accounts.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Zhanhong's expression changed. He remembered that the last time he went to settle accounts, he had settled a huge sum of money!

What did the Mu family do to offend Lü Ran this time? They've incurred his wrath again!

"Ah!" Hearing this, Mu Ningxue, who hadn't known beforehand, asked, "What are you doing up Mount Mu Pang?"

"Don't you want revenge?" Lu Ran asked, which was also one of his purposes.

Hearing the word "revenge," Mu Ningxue felt a surge of emotion. Lü Ran had told her that at the time, they hadn't completely settled the score; they had just reached a critical point in the competition.

This time, Lü Ran will definitely help Mu Ningxue get back everything. She will also climb Mount Mu Pang. There are some names that she has memorized and will remember at all times!

This is the day we've been waiting for!
As for Lü Ran's other purpose? That was naturally to provoke that rooftop lord who was far away in Antarctica, yet had a puppet infiltrating the human world—that was far too outrageous.
"Senior, please don't be surprised. Everything I do has a necessary reason."

"For example—if a puppet of a powerful emperor were hiding in the Mu clan, what would you do?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Zhanhong's expression changed drastically; this bombshell news completely overturned his expectations!
