Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 140 The Savior of Hangzhou Wins Over His Cold and Aloof Female Boss?!
"The Silver Sky Lord is dead!"

It was just a simple sentence, yet it resonated in everyone's hearts, lingering for a long time!
die?
The Silver Dome Lord is dead?

That overlord-level demon, who could be considered king and tyrant in Xiling, is dead?

Or did he die just a few thousand meters outside the western fortress?

Zhu Meng, Tang Zhong, and the others couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, regretting that they hadn't witnessed the fall of a monarch-level demon!
After all, monarch creatures are rare to begin with, and the fall of a monarch signifies a great deal.

For a super-level mage, there is still a glimmer of insight!
But this regret was only momentary, followed by endless joy!

As the saying goes, "One whale fall brings life to all things!"
With the Silver Dome Lord fallen here, a turbulent current is bound to rise in the Western Ridge.

Even if the White Eagle army recovers its numbers without the Silver Dome Lord, it is not a threat!

In other words, Hangzhou will be able to stay peaceful for quite some time!
Although the Silver Sky Lord died at the hands of the Totem Serpent.

But it's important to know that, in a sense, Lu Ran 'revived' the totem serpent!
If Lu Ran hadn't cleared the Totem Serpent's name and urgently provided it with the fake blood serum, helping it quickly and safely get through its molting period, none of what followed would have happened.

It can be said that Lu Ran not only resolved the crisis, but also eliminated the external troubles that had plagued Hangzhou for the past ten or twenty years!
"Lu Ran, we owe you so much this time!" Tang Zhong said excitedly.

"Councilor Lu Ran, you are a hero of Hangzhou!"

Countless military judges and tribunals raised their arms and shouted praises of Lu Ran's greatness.

Lu Ran smiled and agreed, then approached Zhu Meng and Tang Zhong to speak further.

We should inform you in advance about the whereabouts of the Silver Dome Lord and the Four-Clawed Demon Eagle's corpses.

After clearing their minds, Zhu Meng and Tang Zhong felt a sense of relief.

Tang Zhong thanked him again:

"Lu Ran, on behalf of all the people of Hangzhou, thank you for your contributions!"

Zhu Meng also performed a very solemn ceremony for Lu Ran.

Lu Ran waved his hand, lifted Zhu Meng in front of him, and said:

"Without your help in holding back the Silver Sky Lord, I wouldn't have been able to wipe out so many White Demon Eagles."

Hearing Lu Ran's humble words, Zhu Meng and Tang Zhong exchanged a glance, thinking that this prodigy was actually quite easy to get along with.

Thinking that Lu Ran wanted to have a further talk with them, Tang Zhong asked in a low voice:

"Lu Ran, is there anything you need to tell me? I will do my best to help in any way I can!"

Tang Zhong even used the word 'explain', and now when he interacts with Lu Ran, he no longer acts like a senior!
Standing before him was a ruthless man who had single-handedly killed ten four-clawed demonic eagles!

Even he might not be able to do it.

After all, a commander-level four-clawed demonic eagle wouldn't just crash into the star palace he released.

If a commander-level creature tries to escape, he can kill a few at most, but he can't stop the rest.

Seeing Tang Zhong so shamelessly befriending Lu Ran, Zhu Meng, standing to the side, immediately became anxious and hurriedly said:
"If there's anything I can do to help you, just let me know!"

Lu Ran smiled. It seemed that these two super-level beings were aware of his potential and were willing to give him face and befriend him. That made things easier.

Then, Lu Ran briefly recounted the story of the Four-Clawed Demon Eagle and the corpse of the Silver Sky Lord, but didn't go into detail.

The gist of it is that the corpse of the Silver Dome Lord is now his, and the disappearance of the Four-Clawed Demon Eagle's corpse should not be spread.

After all, many high-level battle mages fighting in the mid-level battlefield witnessed it, so it would be best to keep the news under wraps.

Zhu Meng and Tang Zhong were not surprised at all upon hearing this; it was indeed because of this.

Knowing that Lu Ran was a mysterious necromancer with a high level of cultivation, Tang Zhong and Zhu Meng had no doubts and readily agreed.

Tang Zhong smiled easily and said, "It's a small matter. Yun Feng and Li Tian are on good terms with me. I'll go and talk to them about it in person later!"

In truth, they hadn't even considered finding the Silver Dome Lord's corpse. No one would have imagined that such a powerful sovereign would die here!

As for the four-clawed demonic eagles, if it weren't for Lu Ran, even if they fought with all their might, they might only have managed to kill one or two.

Moreover, without Lu Ran, the western fortress would be in grave danger!

What's the point of having authority over corpses?

Tang Zhong left in a hurry, saying he was going to find Yun Feng.

Zhu Meng also promised that he would later find the high-level mages fighting in the mid-level battlefield and instruct them to keep quiet.

After watching the two high-level mages leave, Lu Ran thought for a moment and decided that he should still take precautions!
Dean Xiao and Old Man Bao couldn't possibly be unaware of what happened in Hangzhou.

Moreover, given their immense influence and connections, these two would certainly have ways to obtain inside information.

They couldn't possibly be unaware that I had consumed the Four-Clawed Demon Eagle and the Silver Sky Lord if they were so inclined to do so.

Perhaps Dean Xiao and Old Man Bao will turn a blind eye, but there's no guarantee that some people with ulterior motives won't covet it.

After all, the Silver Sky Lord is a demon of the Great Monarch level. His demonic bones and blood essence can be used to make Heaven-level demonic tools and artifacts, which are extremely valuable.

Instead of waiting for the two big shots to contact me, I might as well take the initiative to report and make them happy.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ran first called Old Man Bao, since Leng Qing was also involved in matters concerning Hangzhou.

"Yes, yes, the plague in Hangzhou is over. It was Luo Mian's doing. The White Demon Eagle army attacked, and the Silver Sky Lord was killed by the Totem Serpent. Hmm, it was under my command. The Silver Sky Lord's body..."

After finishing his long speech, upon hearing that Leng Qing could be promoted and that the position of presiding judge was within reach, Old Man Bao chuckled and said:
"well done!"

Lu Ran said with a beaming smile:

"Of course! I called you as soon as I had good news!"

Old Bao laughed for a while, then said:
"Don't worry, I'll find someone to help with things in Hangzhou."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Well, that's another layer of insurance. Although Zhu Meng and Tang Zhong have already agreed, it's still more reliable to rely on your own connections.

Afterwards, Lu Ran called Dean Xiao again and explained the situation in Hangzhou using the same words.

Dean Xiao also praised:

"You did a great job. As expected of a student of Pearl Academy, you have the ability to turn the tide!"

Lu Ran's eyes flashed, and he smiled, "That's right, Dean. As soon as the battle ended, I came to share the good news with you!"

Upon hearing this, Dean Xiao burst into hearty laughter and said:
"Good, good, go ahead and do the things in Hangzhou. With such a contribution, you deserve even more resources!"

Lu Ran was a shrewd person; after hearing these words, how could he not understand what Dean Xiao meant?
This is clearly to let him eat his fill in peace!

Lu Ran readily agreed, and after catching up for a few more minutes, he hung up the phone.

After ending the call, Lu Ran looked relaxed.

After the battle ended, Leng Qing was able to free herself up and immediately went to find Lu Ran.

Seeing that Lu Ran was alright, Leng Qing breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Under the envious and admiring gazes of everyone in the West Fortress, Lu Ran threw himself into Leng Qing's arms.

This scene sent a chill down the spines of many.

Leng Qing, the deputy presiding judge in Hangzhou, is considered by many to be a cold and aloof female boss. Has she also been won over by Lu Ran?
