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

Chapter 145 Lingling, who wanted to mature, was suppressed with a flick of her finger.
Seeing Lu Ran's confident demeanor, Huo Tuo was also puzzled.

Could it be that this kid is really confident he can find a Western vampire in Shanghai?
"Do you need my help? Don't underestimate me just because I'm a blacksmith. My cultivation level is... hmph." Huo Tuo said with a proud expression.

Lu Ran smiled upon hearing this.

That's just how people are; in the original story, Huo Tuo didn't actively help find vampires.

Now, it is he who has revealed this secret, which has piqued Huo Tuo's interest.

"No need, they're just a few vampires. You should help me forge magical tools as soon as possible."

Lu Ran waved his hand, finished speaking, and turned to leave.

Huo Tuo was stunned. He, a super-level mage, had offered to help, but was refused?
Although he wanted to collect a small tip, he knew that the young man in front of him was quite wealthy and a easy target.

But then it dawned on me that this person had caused quite a stir in Hangzhou a few days ago, which explained everything.
Qingtian Hunting House.

"Lingling, do you have any magical artifacts or instruments for detecting and searching for dark creatures?" Lu Ran asked Lingling, who was flipping through a photo magazine.

Seeing Lu Ran glance over, Lingling quickly closed the magazine and asked in return:
"Yes, I do, but what do you need it for?"

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow, his spiritual power penetrating the magazine to see its contents.

It's actually a photo shoot of a mature woman!
I still prefer her sister's type, ugh!

Lu Ran clicked his tongue, unsure of what to say.

Seeing that Lu Ran remained silent and looked confused, Lingling suddenly realized what was happening, blushed, and exclaimed:

"You used your mental power, didn't you!"

Lu Ran stared at her intently.

Lingling immediately shifted the blame: "Well, this magazine isn't mine. Mo Fan left it at the hunting lodge. I just flipped through it casually and didn't expect it to contain this kind of content."

After saying that, Lingling threw the magazine to Lu Ran, and then took out a magical artifact that looked like a bronze mirror and handed it to him.

After doing all that, Lingling ran away.

Lu Ran touched the bronze mirror, realizing it was a magical artifact used to detect dark creatures.

Vampires are also considered creatures of darkness, so this can naturally be used to identify them.

On the contrary, Lu Ran began to review the magazine with a critical eye.

"Tsk, there's even a top-tier version of Cao Cao? Truly misleading the youth!"

Northland Club.

The European-style hall and bar attracted the attention of many promiscuous women as soon as Lu Ran entered the club.

"Handsome young man, interested in a drink? It's all yours for an hour," a beautiful woman said, her face flushed as she stared at Lu Ran, holding several rolls of banknotes in her hand.

While searching the tavern with his mental energy, Lu Ran also glanced at the beautiful woman out of the corner of his eye and replied:

"That's all the money?"

The beautiful woman was somewhat surprised by this. Far from being angry, she licked her red lips and asked with interest:
"Are you a mage? I've heard that mages are much healthier than ordinary people."

"Then you should definitely accept this money, 'strive' for a few years, and serve me well. You might even become a mid-level mage. I've never even tasted the life of a mid-level mage before~"

Lu Ran's face darkened.

So, in your eyes, I'm just a novice mage?!

At this moment, a middle-aged man in uniform walked up and asked Lu Ran with a smile:
"Hello, how can I help you? I'm from the Northern Club."

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Lu Ran took out a bronze mirror and placed it in front of him.

In the mirror, a strange man with bared fangs and a hideous face suddenly appeared.

Judging from his pale complexion, he looked exactly like the vampires described in ancient books!
"Commander-level?"

Sensing the strength of the life signs reflected by the bronze mirror artifact, Lu Ran was somewhat surprised. He had only approached it with a try-it-out mentality, but he hadn't expected the person in front of him to be a commander-level vampire!
I vaguely remember that the vampire who attacked Liu Xian was only a general-level warrior.

And the vampire leader in front of us must hold a fairly high position.

Wow, we've hit the jackpot!

The middle-aged man was stunned upon hearing this. Looking at the bronze mirror in front of him, which revealed his true appearance, he understood in an instant!

A tough opponent has arrived!

With its claws outstretched, the vampire intended to finish off Lu Ran, but little did Lu Ran know that its movements were too slow.

"boom!"

A heavy pressure from space suddenly descended upon the vampire's head.

The vampire's entire body was instantly embedded in the ground, leaving a deep, human-shaped crater, with no strength left to resist.

The explosion sent the entire tavern into chaos, with people scattering in all directions.

Lu Ran had set up a spatial barrier around the Northern Club in advance, so he wasn't worried about the other vampires escaping.

On the contrary, he has to consider the safety of ordinary people as well.

For example, the beautiful woman who had been staring intently at her, wanting to devour her, was now standing there, looking completely bewildered.

Under the pressure of the space, the mental power of the seventh realm erupted, rendering everyone in the tavern unable to move.

"Silence! The court is handling a case!"

A cold shout came from Lu Ran's mouth, and most people quieted down under the pretext of the trial.

Is it a trial?

You should have told me earlier!

Someone who didn't know better would think it was a terrorist attack!

This trial immediately put many mages, who had differing opinions and were considering whether to force their way out, at ease.

After all, the Tribunal has a pretty good reputation.

"Where are the rest of the vampires?" Lu Ran asked, looking down at the vampires.

The middle-aged vampire's head was being stomped on by Lu Ran, the weight pressing down on him, making it extremely difficult for him to even speak!

This terrified him!
When did I become so disheveled?

Could this person in front of me be a high-level mage specializing in space magic?
Such a young super-level mage, who has lived for over a hundred years, is simply unheard of!
There's no such person in the Shanghai Tribunal or the Demon Hunting Team!

At least he had never heard of it!
"Don't even dream about it, I won't expose them," the middle-aged vampire said through gritted teeth.

Lu Ran's lips curled up: "Is that so? That's not up to you."

As he spoke, Lu Ran's eyes turned pink, and a bewitching power emanated directly from them!
The middle-aged vampire's blood-red eyes instantly became glazed and unfocused, and his struggling and distorted face quickly relaxed.

They're all here.

Soon, the middle-aged vampire rattled off a long list of vampire names.

Many of them were in the club, and were directly identified by their senior members.

The vampires who were identified were instantly stunned and tried to escape at all costs, but they were all suppressed by Lu Ran with a flick of his finger.

"Where's Nie Dong? Didn't he come? Where is he?" Lu Ran asked, squinting.

"Nie Dong? He has no fixed abode, but he does own a few villas." The middle-aged vampire finished speaking about the location of the villas with a blank expression, then his unfocused eyes gradually brightened, and he looked at Lu Ran with great fear!

He was unknowingly bewitched!
Besides spatial abilities, he also has mental abilities!
