My father is the main character, but the female leads want to kill me.

Lin Ran was somewhat tempted, but still said, "Just some petty gains..."

"Really don't want it? That's what you've been hoping for... I was thinking that after this was all over, we could have a proper relationship..."

Hearing that incredibly alluring voice ring in her mind, Lin Ran changed her expression and turned around, saying with great enthusiasm, "Come, Comrade Fairy, let's quickly discuss how to deal with this Death Hunter!"

……

Mu Shishuang looked at Lin Ran with a hint of displeasure. How could this bastard Lin Ran have taken her method for himself just to please this stinky woman?

If only she had coughed loudly a few times earlier and separated the two who were practically melting together, she would have given them some space to be affectionate. She was so stupid!

"But all the spatial nodes in that area are sealed off. How can we teleport Lin Ran and me into that Death Hunter?" Shangguan Mengqing couldn't help but question this method.

“I have my own way, but whether it will succeed in the end depends on the two of you. If you don’t have that power, I would suggest that Uncle Wu go in instead…” Mu Shishuang pointed at Uncle Wu and said irritably.

Uncle Wu, who had been listening in the background, looked at Shangguan Mengqing and couldn't help but ask, "So, Young Sect Master, you said you wanted to retreat before because you were trying to find a way?"

Shangguan Mengqing glanced at Lin Ran, nodded, and then said, "We can't just stand by and watch this Death Hunter keep expanding its territory. We can't let that scene from back then repeat itself here."

If this Death Hunter is allowed to expand its territory, the former state will eventually follow the same old path, and then the surrounding large states will also begin to be devoured. The Nine Provinces Continent is very large, but the speed at which the Void Evil Clan devours is not to be underestimated.

Today it's one state, tomorrow several states, a few days of peace in exchange for a few days of rest. But after a few more days, when you open your eyes, the land is already overrun with Void Evil Race.

Therefore, we must act before this Death Hunter has fully taken root and before this land has been completely transformed.

"So when do we start?" Uncle Wu couldn't help but ask.

"Let me recover some of my spiritual power. This place can no longer absorb spiritual power from the outside world!" Shangguan Mengqing took out several bottles of high-grade pills and handed them to Uncle Wu and Lin Ran. She also took out a jade box and handed it to Mu Shishuang.

Mu Shishuang looked at the jade box but did not accept it immediately. Instead, she looked at Shangguan Mengqing, seemingly waiting for Shangguan Mengqing's explanation.

Shangguan Mengqing explained, "This was made by a high-level alchemist in our sect. It has an excellent effect on restoring blood and qi. You are a key person in this operation. The more your bloodline power is restored, the more confident we will be!"

"Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Shishuang accepted the jade box.

As for Lin Ran, since he had not participated in the battle before, he was in the best condition. Instead, he acted as everyone's protector, keeping watch for any potential dangers.

Once everyone had recovered sufficiently, it was time for a final battle against the Death Hunter.

……

182. The final struggle!

The entire sky above Qianlong Mountain had almost fallen into the territory of the Void Evil Clan. The sky, which had been painted dark red, had been polluted by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, turning into a dark red miasma that could be seen with the naked eye.

At the border between the ancient battlefield and Qianlong Mountain, a large group of surviving people gathered. Some had already begun to cross the ancient battlefield, determined to escape this dangerous place before the Void Evil Clan completely devoured Qianzhou.

Chi Sinian approached Yue Lei and asked, "Sir, should we also evacuate?"

"You...and me...sigh..."

When Yue Lei was asked this question by Chi Sinian, he was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to arrange things for these students. His subjective intention was to have these children evacuate with him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse Lin Ran in his heart. You have a group of students with you, but you don't care about their safety and just mess around in there. Even those Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators can't do anything about it, and some of them even ran away early on. What can Nirvana Realm cultivators do?

Why not go with him and lead the students away early? If the sky falls, there will be a tall person to hold it up!

Seeing Yue Lei's embarrassed expression, Chi Sinian glanced back at Xiao Qian, Xiao Zhuang, and the others, who were waving their little fists at her.

Chi Sinian understood. Looking at Yue Lei, who seemed a little lost in thought, she said in a firm and resolute tone, "Mr. Yue, you can take your students and leave first. We've decided to stay here and wait for Mr. Lin!"

"Nonsense!"

Upon hearing Chi Sinian's words, Yue Lei couldn't help but shout, "The situation is so critical now, this is no time to joke around. Since Brother Lin Ran entrusted you to my care, I will certainly take responsibility. Let's retreat together to the other side of the ancient battlefield!"

"We will not abandon our teachers and leave..."

Chi Sinian spoke up, then pushed Mulan forward from the group, saying, "Sister Mulan, why don't you leave here with Mr. Yue and the others? With you leading the way, they won't encounter any danger..."

“Sinian, it’s too dangerous to stay here. Just listen to me and take the students with you to leave!” Mulan said earnestly, holding Chi Sinian’s hand.

"We've made up our minds. Even if they knock us out, we'll still rush back once we wake up!" Chi Sinian said fearlessly.

Looking at the students of Linghua Academy, who were like pieces of tough meat, Yue Lei couldn't help but feel a headache.

But before he could think of a solution, two whooshing sounds suddenly rang out. Yue Lei quickly protected the students behind him and stared intently at the dark red world behind them.

"I miss you!"

A soft voice rang out.

Fu Yuemei's figure emerged from the bare forest filled with dark red miasma. Following behind Yuemei were Lin Chong and Mo Qingyi. The three of them carried the person out of the forest.

Upon seeing the two figures, Chi Sinian and the others couldn't help but show joy on their faces and hurriedly went to greet them.

Even Yue Lei was surprised when he saw the two of them. He didn't expect Lin Ran to actually manage to rescue his child, his apprentice, and the others in the trial space. That was amazing!

As soon as Fu Yuemei landed and put the girl she was carrying on the ground, she bumped into Xiaoqian. Xiaoqian hugged Fu Yuemei tightly and cried out in a sob, "Waaah, Yuemei, you're finally out! I was so worried about you!"

I'm sorry to have worried you...

Fu Yuemei gently patted Xiaoqian's back to comfort her.

Although Chi Sinian also wanted to give her best friend a hug, she was more worried about her husband's safety. She couldn't help but look at Lin Chong, who was looking around as if searching for something, and asked, "Brother Lin Chong, did your husband come out with you?"

Hearing this, Lin Chong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Father and the others still have things to do, so they want us to retreat to a safe place first..."

"Lin Ran is still inside?!"

A powerful voice rang in everyone's ears, and they all looked in the direction of the voice.

Then Wenling led the students from Tianli Academy over.

Lin Chong greeted Wen Ling respectfully, "Dean!"

Wenling waved his hand, walked up to Lin Chong, and asked again, "Your father, why are you still inside? That monster is beyond our control, and you're still inside... sigh!"

Wenling didn't finish his sentence. Staying there was tantamount to waiting for death. If he hadn't been waiting for Lin Chong, he probably would have already led his troops away.

To be honest, he couldn't understand why Lin Ran was still inside. What could a Nirvana Realm cultivator do? Just now, he saw that even the War Alliance had retreated. Those guys said they would send an Undying Realm cultivator to support them, but they hadn't seen anyone for a long time.

If it weren't for the other party's background, Wen Ling would have cursed them out. If he had arrived earlier, and waited for the other mysterious Undying Realm expert to recover his strength, he might have been able to kill that guy sooner. Why would he have to wait until now to flee in such a sorry state?

And those hypocritical Spirit Pure Holy Lands... became the fuse that ignited the dissolution of this temporary alliance... leaving only the Sword Sect, who persisted in fighting the Void Evil Clan from beginning to end...

But given the current situation, the Sword Sect is struggling alone and will probably have to retreat!

Wenling's words plunged the students of Linghua Academy into silence.

Even the inner dean of Tianli Academy, who actually participated in the battle, said that they were unable to deal with that monster. So what was the point of Lin Ran staying there?

Fu Yuemei didn't want her master to be talked about like that, so she weakly defended herself, "That... um... the person who rescued us was called by my master."

"With that person there, Master should be fine. Staying inside is probably to help us think of other ways to deal with that monster!"

Because her master had told her not to reveal Sister Mu's identity, Fu Yuemei could only give a vague answer.

Wen Ling and Yue Lei were both startled. Wen Ling instinctively looked towards Lin Chong, who scratched his head and said, "It was indeed my father who sent them..."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Wenling's eyes, and he slowly said, "I didn't expect your father to have such abilities..."

Wenling stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Let's stay here and wait. If the situation worsens, you all have to evacuate with me."

As he said this, Wenling also looked at the students of Linghua Academy, clearly indicating that his words included them.

“That girl from the Tianshan Sword Sect, your group is over there, you can go and find them!” Wenling said, looking at Mo Qingyi who was standing alone to the side.

"Thank you!"

After Mo Qingyi finished speaking, she was about to leave.

But Wenling continued, "Go back and ask Elder Heng if Tianli, Songling, and Linghua Academy will leave the ancient battlefield together. Ask the Tianshan Sword Sect if they want to join."

Mo Qingyi paused for a moment, nodded, and then headed in the direction Wen Ling had pointed…

Wenling couldn't help but cast his gaze upon the once lush and verdant mountains, now transformed into a desolate, dark red landscape. A sense of melancholy rose within him as he silently wondered, "Is there really a way to deal with that monster?"

……

"Are you all ready?"

Four people were gathered beside a fast-flowing, dark red stream somewhere in Qianlong Mountain.

These four people were Lin Ran and others, and the one who said those words was Mu Shishuang.

Upon hearing Mu Shishuang's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

The four of them erected a light shield. After this environment was transformed into one suitable for the Void Evil Clan, the dark red miasma eroded them every second, so they had to use their spiritual power to resist it at all times.

This also shows that they have absolutely no chance of waging a war of attrition, and they only have one chance, so they must seize the opportunity with absolute precision.

"The key to this operation lies with the two of you!"

Mu Shishuang looked at Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing and said calmly, "As long as you seize the opportunity and unleash the power you possess, you will be able to easily deal with that Death Hunter."

"I have a question!" Shangguan Mengqing took a step forward and suddenly said.

Mu Shishuang stared at Shangguan Mengqing with her deep blue eyes, a hint of displeasure flashing in them.

Ignoring Mu Shishuang's gaze, Shangguan Mengqing asked, "The Death Hunter might only have a second, or even less, gap in his defenses. If you teleport us there, won't it be too late?"

"No!" Mu Shishuang said succinctly.

"Why?" Shangguan Mengqing asked in return.

"You only need to do one thing: seize the opportunity. Don't think about anything else!" Mu Shishuang said.

"I'm fine!"

Shangguan Mengqing retreated to Lin Ran's side and secretly transmitted her thoughts to Lin Ran, saying, "Your sister-in-law is quite imposing. It's true that having power makes a difference."

Lin Ran didn't dare to say anything. Although he really wanted to say that Shangguan Mengqing was the same way back then, now that her strength has surpassed his, she's practically swaggering.

"Lin Ran, do you have any other questions?" Mu Shishuang couldn't help but ask.

"Uh, no, I'll follow the organization's orders!" Lin Ran said.

Mu Shishuang turned her gaze to Uncle Wu and said softly, "Then I'll leave the rest to you, Uncle Wu. All you need to do is keep that Death Hunter occupied and force it to reveal its main eyeball, even if it's just for a moment, that will be enough!"

"Great! I never thought I'd have the chance to fight such a thrilling battle at my age!" Uncle Wu said with a smile.

He stretched his body, his bones cracking and popping, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

He also drew his own sword, a pure silver blade with a giant dragon carved on its surface. He gently stroked the blade and said, "Old friend, get ready for a big battle with me!"
