The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

The transmitted "signal" weakened rapidly.

Gu Ran subconsciously entered into the sword intent and used the sword in his hand to sever the "lines" connecting the insect aliens.

Then the insect-like creature quickly fell to the ground and became part of the shredded flesh.

Even these powerful alien species are nothing more than a matter of swinging the sword in Gu Ran's hand.

Gu Ran wanted to slow down the pace of eradicating these insect species in order to get more information.

However, the information transmitted by that insect species disappeared very quickly, as if the "signal" had been completely interrupted.

Before the interruption, he left behind only the words, "...we...will soon...go back to..."

Back to?

Where to go back to?

Is this the place where these alien species were "born"?

Gu Ran tried to communicate with the insect species using his telekinesis, but this time, no matter how many times he tried, it had no effect.

Having failed to achieve his goal, Gu Ran showed no mercy and slaughtered the remaining dozen or so extraterrestrial creatures.

"Teacher Gu Ran has won!"

"Great! We won!"

"I knew the teacher would succeed!"

After Gu Ran slew all the most troublesome and difficult insect species in the sky, cheers immediately erupted below.

Gu Ran won, so they won too.

Azure Dragon City thus weathered this crisis!

Although Lanxin University was mostly destroyed, they ultimately won!

If we win, everything can be rebuilt.

"So many powerful mutants were all killed by one person, hiss—"

It's absolutely breathtaking.

They had fought these strange creatures that flew in the sky and looked very much like insects; they knew how terrifying these insect-like creatures were.

At this moment, they had a deeper understanding of just how powerful Gu Ran was.

At the same time, some of them immediately realized this.

Regardless of Gu Ran's reasons for killing the principal, Gu Ran saved Canglong City and deserves great credit for everyone who survived in Canglong City.

Especially for ordinary people and martial artists or superhumans of average strength, Gu Ran could be considered to have saved their lives.

These can become the "political capital" for Gu Ran to succeed Principal Xue and become the de facto ruler of Canglong City.

And very importantly, even when faced with strong opposition, Gu Ran possesses the formidable power to overturn the table.

No one in Canglong City is a match for Gu Ran.

No, in fact, no one in the entire Human Alliance should be a match for Gu Ran.

Is it good or bad for such a person to become the ruler of Canglong City?

Some people with a keen political sense subconsciously overthink things.

Gu Ran didn't think too far ahead. At this moment, he just wanted to quickly resolve the alien species problem and then rescue Xue Xiling.

Otherwise, given Lilith's wicked nature, she might actually do something bad to Xue Xiling.

Then, Gu Ran helped the people below to clean up the Star Stone aliens.

With Gu Ran's further enhanced strength joining the fray, the Star Stone aliens on the ground were being rapidly eliminated.

Besides Lanxin University, other places in Canglong City also saw the arrival of Star Stone aliens.

Under the leadership and organization of the remaining mecha trainees, they began to clear out these Star Stone aliens one by one, dividing them into areas.

Once Gu Ran's mental energy was fully restored, the speed at which the Star Stone Aberrations were cleared increased by dozens of times.

After the last Star Stone alien was killed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, it's all over.

Some people laughed at first, then burst into laughter, but immediately turned to tears and wept bitterly.

Then a chorus of weeping erupted, and even those who weren't crying had faces full of sorrow.

The losses suffered by Canglong City this time were too severe.

It wasn't just the loss of buildings and property, but also the countless deaths and injuries that occurred during the period.

The losses suffered by Canglong City this time were far more severe than those caused by the previous struggle between Xue Yingsong and the ruling center.

The struggle between Xue Yingsong and the senior officials in the ruling center is a power struggle among the upper echelons of Canglong City, and has little impact on the lower-level people.

It wouldn't matter if Xue Yingsong replaced several senior officials in the ruling center.

Moreover, Xue Yingsong did a better job on his own than all those people combined, so the common people of Canglong City cared even less about who was in power.

But this time it's completely different; the arrival of extraterrestrial beings on this scale is no different from a natural disaster.

It can be said that without Gu Ran, Canglong City would have been completely destroyed this time.

It wasn't just that the buildings were destroyed; the entire Azure Dragon City was petrified by the starstone, and everyone was infected by it, their rationality eroded, and some even lost it.

By then, Azure Dragon City will become a dead zone.

It may be many years before the infectious properties of the star stones in Azure Dragon City disappear, and the main city becomes a huge star stone mine, before anyone sets foot in this area again.

Of course, it is more likely that before Azure Dragon City becomes a new starstone mine, the entire Human Alliance will be completely destroyed by the extraterrestrial beings that descend once again, following in Azure Dragon City's footsteps.

Gu Ran didn't believe that Xue Yingsong's talk of an apocalyptic crisis was fake.

Seeing the crowd of people crying, Gu Ran remained silent for a while.

After using his telekinesis to notify the residents of Canglong City who were hiding in the underground project that they could come out, he quickly left Canglong City and rushed towards the direction Lilith had indicated.

It's time to save Xue Xiling.

......

Outside the light screen.

After seeing that the crisis of the extraterrestrial invasion had been completely resolved, the expressions of the powerful figures in Canglong City all became somewhat unnatural.

Although they were able to protect themselves in the environment of the Star Stone aliens back then.

However, they probably wouldn't have the fighting power to fight against the overwhelming, highly aggressive insectoid species.

Gu Ran, who solved the problem of all insect species, was, in a sense, their "benefactor".

Is Gu Ran their benefactor?

This is obviously unacceptable to many people.

They could only remain silent.

Only the strongmen outside of Canglong City watched all this with a relaxed attitude, and some even mocked the Canglong City strongmen around them.

This made the powerful figures of Canglong City grit their teeth in hatred.

They're all on the same side, how could they be treated like this?!

Is it just to suppress them so that they can gain more benefits when dividing Gu Ran's inheritance later?

Some of them did understand, and they quickly realized the real reason why others were mocking them.

Regardless of what they do next, for now they can only accept this ridicule.

......

In the light screen.

Gu Ran quickly arrived at the location Lilith had mentioned, but when his mental power completely enveloped the area, he found no trace of them.

"Strange, isn't she here? But Lilith clearly said..."

Gu Ran recalled what Lilith had said.

"If you've thought it through and are ready, just leave Canglong City and head east for about two mountains' distance. Then wait for me quietly. I'll come over then."

Leave Canglong City and head east through two mountains, then wait.

Gu Ran casually found a spot and sat down cross-legged.

Let's wait and see.

However, although he said he was just waiting, Gu Ran couldn't really do nothing.

He extended his mental power completely, even enveloping the two mountains he passed by.

We will observe every inch of land to see if we can find out where Lilith is hiding.

Furthermore, how would she know he was coming, and in what way and how would she arrive?

These are all questions that Gu Ran is interested in.

However, to Gu Ran's surprise, Lilith did not arrive even after he waited for a whole day and night.
