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

The lackeys sprang into action, quickly finding the tokens of the Sword Sect and the Tianli Academy and handing them to Yang Xiong. Just as Yang Xiong took the tokens and was about to examine them, a sudden, furious roar resounded through the sky.

"You sons of bitches, trash from the Northern Underworld Holy Land, how dare you bully others like this! I, Leopard Head Aotian of the War God Temple, have come to teach you a lesson!"

A dark figure appeared with the sound, suddenly landing on the sand, and just enough to create a cloud of dust that didn't affect its dashing entrance, as if the earth itself was shaking.

Everyone's attention was focused on the figure as he slowly removed his hood, revealing a man with a scar over his left eye. A powerful aura suddenly erupted, directly overwhelming Yang Zheng and the others.

Yang Zheng felt the pressure emanating from the other party, and his expression changed. He wanted to curse inwardly. Why did the people from the Temple of War have to arrive at this crucial moment?!

The people of the Sword Sect's Tianli Academy, especially those from the Sword Sect, had a glimmer of hope in their eyes when they saw that they had actually encountered people from the War God Temple. They were very clear about the conflict between the War God Temple and the Northern Underworld Holy Land.

Even the lackeys were intimidated by the oppressive aura, allowing the most severely injured young female disciples to run to Lin Ran's vicinity. One of them, a female student from Tianli Academy who had previously called out for Xiao Tian, ​​directly hugged Lin Ran's leg, unconcerned about the exposed "tofu pudding," and cried out with red eyes, "Please, Brother Ao, save Xiao Tian!"

"Don't worry, little sister, I'll definitely help you!"

Ao Tian very gentlemanly asked the female student to let go of him, and gently patted her hand to comfort her.

Immediately afterwards, Ao Tian's eyes were bloodshot, his face flushed red, and he was bursting with rage. He roared at the disciple of the nearest Beiming Holy Land and unleashed a golden fist imprint from a distance.

"You dog bastard from the Northern Underworld Holy Land, die!"

The closest lackey, although only at the newly entered Spirit Core Realm, was still at the Spirit Core Realm, yet he was actually blasted into a bloody mist and exploded by Ao Tian of the War God Temple with a single punch.

This scene filled Tianli Academy and Sword Sect members with elation. Yang Zheng's eyebrows twitched slightly. Seeing this unreasonable and barbaric fighting style, he realized it was definitely the War God Temple. Only the War God Temple could produce such madmen.

The most ruthless are those who are even more ruthless and reckless than themselves; the Northern Underworld Holy Land is most afraid of encountering the Temple of War.

While "War God Temple Aotian" was displaying his divine power below, two people on a distant sand dune fell into deep silence as they watched the person below putting on a show and slaughtering everyone.

Wen Qianyi watched Lin Ran putting on a show below. To be honest, it was the first time she had ever seen a senior like this. She remained silent for a long time before accepting this reality. She looked at Shangguan Mengqing and asked, "Mengqing, was this how you were when you first met this senior?"

"Yes, your true nature has been revealed, you'll get used to it!" Shangguan Mengqing nodded.

This guy's dramatic nature hasn't changed. She saw through him during those years of the secret realm inheritance. He's always up to something, doing all sorts of childish things, and he never tires of trying to break her defenses.

Now that he's got such a good opportunity, he has to put on a good show. His entrance was quite elaborate, kicking up a cloud of sand and even using spiritual power to control how it fell. It was a really impressive entrance, quite dashing indeed. I wonder if he knows the War God Temple's style of doing things, because he immediately identified himself as a "veteran of the War God Temple."

She had met people from the Temple of War, and there really were a lot of lunatics like that. Not only did they swear all the time, but their fighting style was also extremely barbaric and brutal. Lin Ran had imitated them quite well, and who knows, the other party might actually mistake him for someone from the Temple of War.

No wonder she once read a quote that men are always immature; it seems that's true.

"What a childish bastard!"

.......

Chapter 133 Would you be willing to lend me a hand?

Lin Ran's strength made dealing with the people from the Northern Underworld Holy Land extremely easy and effortless, and he also perfectly demonstrated the arrogant style of the War God Temple.

After Lin Ran had blasted all the people from the Northern Underworld Holy Land around Yang Zheng into clouds of exploding blood mist, she approached Yang Zheng with a sinister grin and said, "You're the only one left. You're the leader of this group, right? Your strength is passable. I'll give you a chance to fight back. Make your move!"

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, Yang Zheng's legs went weak; he was no match for this man.

This guy killed all his men with just a few punches and kicks. Even if he had life-saving items, he wouldn't dare use them now. How long has he been in the secret realm? And he's already run into the madman from the Temple of War.

Yang Zheng pleaded tremblingly, "This... Brother from the War God Temple, my grandfather is the Grand Elder of the Northern Underworld Holy Land. Please be magnanimous and spare me. I will definitely come to thank you properly later!"

"Hmph, do you think I'm stupid? Die!"

Lin Ran roared angrily, and a surge of golden spiritual power condensed on her right fist, which she then blasted towards Yang Zheng.

Seeing this, Yang Zheng's eyes widened. Helpless, he activated the ring on his hand, and a dark gray light enveloped him. Just as Lin Ran's fist imprint arrived, he disappeared from the spot.

Lin Ran's move could only hit the air, and in the end, the energy could only dissipate in the sky.

"What a pity, this kid actually has such a way to save his life!"

Lin Ran couldn't help but send a telepathic message to Shangguan Mengqing, expressing her regret.

"Didn't I tell you not to use telepathy indiscriminately?"

Shangguan Mengqing said disdainfully, "He is the grandson of the Grand Elder of the Northern Underworld Holy Land. He must have a lot of things to protect his life. If you attack him directly, you will definitely make an enemy of him."

"The one who caused this feud is Leopard Head Aotian from the Temple of War. What does it have to do with Lin Ran from Linghua Academy?" Lin Ran retorted.

Shangguan Mengqing: "..."

She had a feeling that this guy would cause chaos in this secret realm. Back then, at the Azure Emperor's Ruins, was this guy just like that, stirring up trouble and secretly taking over the Azure Emperor's inheritance?

Having dealt with the group from the Northern Underworld Holy Land, Shangguan Mengqing and Wen Qianyi appeared at the opportune moment. The hearts that had been at ease suddenly tightened again, but when they saw Shangguan Mengqing's signature veil and her unforgettable beautiful eyes, they immediately knew that this was the famous Sword Sect Fairy from the Sword Sect.

The Sword Sect members were extremely excited and rushed to Shangguan Mengqing's side. Just as they were about to speak, Shangguan Mengqing stopped them.

Shangguan Mengqing handed the healing pills in her hand to one of the female disciples of the Sword Sect and said in a low voice, "Distribute the healing pills, and give one to the students of Tianli Academy as well. After taking them, come with me and leave this place immediately. It is not safe to stay here for long!"

Shangguan Mengqing remained calm. Having offended the Northern Underworld Holy Land, which could potentially involve the War God Temple as well, she dared not recklessly stay here with these people. It was best to leave immediately.

Wen Qianyi was responsible for comforting the students of Tianli Academy. Many students of Tianli Academy naturally recognized Wen Qianyi's appearance. The girl in the couple was the same girl who had just clung to Lin Ran's leg, begging someone to save her boyfriend.

At this moment, carrying the seriously injured Xiao Tian, ​​he came to Wen Qianyi's side and said anxiously, "Elder Wen, could you please take a look at Xiao Tian's injuries? Is there any hope of healing him?"

Wen Qianyi also looked serious. She quickly came to Xiao Tian's side, examined him carefully, and finally gave her the answer: "The injury is quite serious, and the foundation is also damaged. He can only recover about 50% to 60%. The rest can only be resolved by leaving the secret realm and having sufficient medicinal herbs."

"That's it, that's it!"

Overjoyed, the girl hugged the blood-covered boy tightly, tears welling in her eyes, and whispered, "Xiao Tian, ​​you're saved, you're saved, sob...we survived..."

Seeing this scene, Wen Qianyi was also in a bad mood. She remembered when she escorted the Spirit Gathering Array back to the academy and encountered the Dark Shadow Sect's siege. If it weren't for her senior, many more people would probably have died. Not wanting such a tragedy to happen again, Wen Qianyi also went to check on the other children to see what injuries they had suffered and how serious they were.

Shangguan Mengqing walked over to Lin Ran and saw Lin Ran looking at the group of disciples and students who had survived the disaster with a deep expression. She was somewhat surprised by Lin Ran and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Looking at these poor disciples and students, are you regretting not coming out to rescue them sooner?"

"Just because I can save them once doesn't mean I can save them forever!" Lin Ran took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. "They still have to rely on themselves for the rest of the journey. Everyone has their own path to walk. If someone is willing to stop and lend a hand, that is already a blessing in life."

Shangguan Mengqing turned her head to stare at Lin Ran, but when she saw Lin Ran's mask, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and said coldly, "Take off your mask!"

“Ah…Oh!”

Although she didn't know why, Lin Ran still removed the mask from her face, revealing her true appearance.

Although the owner of this face was a bit of a scoundrel, Shangguan Mengqing had to admit that she still found him more pleasing to the eye. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to ask a question: "Lin Ran, turn around and look at me!"

"what?"

Lin Ran turned his head and met a pair of eyes so beautiful that he could be completely captivated by them.

He instinctively wanted to avoid such eye contact, but Shangguan Mengqing's cold snort made him obediently look into her eyes, trying his best to stare intently at her.

814 The Thirty-year-old Kirin

But gradually he seemed to become somewhat captivated by it, as if he were hypnotized, immersed in those star-like, dazzling eyes.

Shangguan Mengqing's cool voice rang in his mind, clear and melodious: "Then let me ask you, are you willing to stop and help me?"

"I?"

Lin Ran paused for a moment, then a bright smile spread across her face as she replied, "Of course I'd help you out..."

Hearing Lin Ran's words, a hint of melancholy appeared in Shangguan Mengqing's eyes, but Lin Ran quickly added, "I will walk hand in hand with you, we will go to the end of our lives together, if you don't mind..."

"Smash!"

Shangguan Mengqing felt as if she heard something shattering in her heart, and a surge of blood rushed to her head. She quickly suppressed the intense pain in her chest, snorted coldly, and said, "You've probably said this to quite a few women, haven't you? You really are a heartless man. So... I'm asking you, do all those guys from the Northern Underworld Holy Land have your spatial rings? Take some healing pills out of them!"

Lin Ran's pupils suddenly contracted, her body leaned back slightly, and she gasped sharply, staring at Shangguan Mengqing in shock. She never expected that this woman would use such a trick after all this time.

"Okay, okay, here you go!"

Lin Ran took out the healing pills he had prepared beforehand. He had actually been selecting the healing pills from his spatial rings. These low-level healing pills weren't very useful to him, and since the little guys were all injured, he wasn't going to be so stingy as to not take them out.

Shangguan Mengqing had only mentioned it casually, but she didn't expect Lin Ran to actually take it out, and it was clearly well-organized. Her eyes couldn't help but sparkle, and she said calmly, "I'm going to organize the team over there. You keep watch around!"

"Okay, Qingqing!" Lin Ran said with a smile.

"Shut up!"

……

After a short rest, Lin Ran and the others set off with the newcomers. After walking for a while, Lin Ran realized that she didn't see Shangguan Mengqing and asked curiously, "Where is Miss Shangguan?"

One of the Sword Sect disciples immediately replied, "Mr. Lin, our senior sister said she needs to clean up the traces of the battle in that area, so she told us to leave first and she'll be there soon."

Lin Ran nodded and said with great admiration, "As expected of Miss Shangguan, you little guys should learn a lot from her. This is a secret realm where people can die at any time, so you must be careful. I was there to rescue you this time, but what about next time?"

Lin Ran was educating the group of newcomers. Normally, they might just ignore what the teachers and elders said, but when it came to a critical moment, perhaps even before death, they would regret not listening to them in the first place.

Having survived by sheer luck, they will undoubtedly be more cautious, disciplined, and obedient to instructions on their journey ahead. Only after experiencing a brush with death can they truly appreciate the preciousness of life.

Lin Ran would occasionally look back at the back of the group, but she never saw Shangguan Mengqing. She couldn't help but wonder what they were doing that took so long. She even couldn't help but want to do something reckless, so she sent a telepathic message to Shangguan Mengqing.

Not long after, Lin Ran spotted Shangguan Mengqing. Shangguan Mengqing gracefully walked to the front of the group and said coldly, "Let's keep going and find people in other areas!"

Lin Ran felt that Shangguan Mengqing, upon her return, seemed to have reverted to her initial cold and aloof demeanor.

This surprised Lin Ran a little, but he didn't think much of it, assuming that Shangguan Mengqing was just putting on an act in front of these disciples and students. Speaking of acting, Lin Ran was wide awake; the title of Best Actor was definitely his!

However, the search for the missing person was not smooth. When Lin Ran and the others found the vicinity using the token of Tianli Academy, they discovered that the person had already been killed by another group of people. This group was probably someone who entered later. They were neither from the eight super sects nor a first-class force, but rather from a small force. They had banded together and besieged and killed several students from Tianli Academy.

After Lin Ran dealt with those guys, he asked the people from Tianli Academy in his team to collect the bodies of the students, which made Lin Ran a little flustered.

Although confident in his son's strength and wit, the situation inside the secret realm is now becoming chaotic.

Some forces come in purely to kill, since killing and looting is much easier than struggling to find treasure here.

Among the forces that just united, there was one Nirvana Realm cultivator. Even though most of his strength was suppressed and he wasn't considered particularly powerful among those in the Nirvana Realm, a group of Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators were already struggling against Spirit Core Realm cultivators, let alone a Nirvana Realm cultivator who was slightly stronger than Spirit Core Realm cultivators.

“I feel we need to speed up the search for our people so that many of the plans we’ve come up with can be implemented,” Lin Ran said to Shangguan Mengqing.

"Ok!"

Shangguan Mengqing nodded and said calmly, "Do as you say!"

As Lin Ran and the others accelerated their search, they found almost all the people on their side in the desert area. Furthermore, Lin Ran and the others learned a very important piece of information from this last group of people.

Information about the whereabouts of the second mysterious crystal ball…

……

Chapter 134 Strange Actions at the Sacred Ground of Spiritual Purity

At the foot of a small hill where the desert meets the mountain range, Lin Ran and his group temporarily set up camp. Wen Qianyi led several alchemists from Tianli Academy and Sword Sect to treat the wounded in the group. They had received nearly twenty people from the desert area, but almost all of them were injured.

Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing discussed it and decided to find a place to rest temporarily.
