Chapter 70, Xingluo

Inside the Star Guardian City.

After sighing, Lin Ran encountered a new problem.

How to gain the approval of a Star Guardian in a short period of time.

According to his observations, this race had few disputes and no so-called class divisions.

It's like... a real-life version of The Peach Blossom Spring!

Or... an ideal utopia!

In this situation, the only normal approach would probably be long-term companionship combined with various strategies.

However, he didn't have time; he needed to rush back as soon as possible to prepare for the secret realm.

Lin Ran pondered for a moment, then remembered what Lin had said.

She has influence with the Grand Elder, so she doesn't mind using some underhanded tactics.

The race's protector, Star, directly exposed his lie.

So, this is to make him find a Star Guardian as soon as possible and leave!

Any means are acceptable!

Otherwise, Lin wouldn't have needed to say that.

Lin Ran raised her head, took a step, and in a few strides traversed most of the city, arriving at the place with the most abundant star energy.

Concert!

Lin Ran was surprised for a moment, then used her mental power to scan the entire area and quickly locked onto several suitable targets.

Then, concealing themselves, they went underneath the stage.

His gaze locked onto a Star Guardian, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Click!

The stage suddenly collapsed, and the Star Guardians, caught off guard, fell right in.

The Star Guardians fell into darkness, and the pain almost made them cry.

It was silent in the darkness, except for its own light.

Lin Ran quietly approached, his spiritual power surging, constructing an illusion for her.

in the dark.

The Star Guardians groped their way forward, calling out to their fellow tribesmen with all their might, but received no response.

Suddenly, a strange crawling sound came from the darkness, and a huge, shadowy creature slowly approached.

The Star Guardians immediately fled, but the pursuers were closing in.

In her panic, she suddenly fell to the ground. Just as the enormous creature was about to pounce on her, a figure blocked her way.

……

An hour later.

Beneath the dark stage.

Lin Ran opened her eyes and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

He was holding Xingluo, a member of the Star Guardian Clan, tightly in his arms. A noticeable mark on Xingluo's forehead was slowly disappearing.

The illusion was not easy to create; it took quite a bit of effort.

The result was good; we successfully obtained a Star Guardian.

After waiting for a while,

Xinglu woke up, looked up at Lin Ran, her eyes seemingly containing a sea of stars.

Lin Ran smiled gently.

"Xingluo".

"Brother Lin."

Xinglu nuzzled Lin Ran's chin, squinting her eyes in enjoyment.

Lin Ran felt strange again.

Once they become recognized by the Star Guardians, they will no longer care about the past, even if the recognition was obtained through special means.

As long as they don't mess things up too much, the Star Guardians will convince themselves.

He was curious as to why other races hadn't invaded.

Lin alone probably can't hold out, right?

Restore your mental strength.

Lin Ran led Xing Luo outside the city and revealed Lin's real name.

"Lin".

Instantly, he felt a gaze descend from the sky, locking onto him and Xingluo.

Then another gaze descended, and a familiar sense of teleportation appeared.

Lin Ran hugged Xing Luo to counteract the side effects of the teleportation.

I couldn't help but sigh.

To be able to draw attention with just a name from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away—truly worthy of being called an extraordinary being!

Before long, he too will become a superhuman!

It will become even stronger!

……

Starry sky, stone platform.

Lin Ran felt the teleportation end and opened her eyes to find herself standing on a stone platform.

Ahead are Lin and Xingxing.

However, Xingxing's face was glowing, and her smile was gentler than ever before.

Lin's expression was strange, so strange that he couldn't describe it.

Lin Ran: ?

What happened?

Lin waved her hand and pulled Lin Ran to her side.

"Go ahead."

"it is good."

Xingxing nodded, pulled Xingluo aside, set up a spiritual energy barrier, and said something to her.

Lin Ran asked curiously.

"Sister Lin, how are you?"

"I'm fine."

Lin took a deep breath, quickly regained her composure, and glanced at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran: ?

That look in his eyes is a bit strange; I can't understand it.

"Now that you have acquired a Star Guardian, I have one request for you: no matter what, you must not abandon the Star Guardians who belong to you."

"Yes, Sister Lin, I swear on my Dao heart..."

Lin Ran learned the true nature of the Star Guardians in the illusion and solemnly swore an oath with his Dao Heart.

Lin smiled and patted Lin Ran on the head.

"That's right, I wasn't wrong about you."

Lin Ran: ...

the other side.

Xingxing and Xingluo finished talking quickly.

Xingluo ran over with a smile and hugged Lin Ran, as if she had just figured something out.

Lin Ran couldn't tell, so she looked up at the stars.

Xingxing didn't explain, but said to Lin.

"That's enough, you should go back now."

"Um."

Lin's expression became unnatural again.

Lin Ran wisely refrained from asking.

The star raised its finger and drew a pattern in the air.

"This place is too far from the battlefield of the heavens, I'll see you off."

The pattern glows, transmission begins.

Lin Ran felt like it had taken a long time before she finally felt grounded.

The familiar pressure came, and the spiritual energy naturally resumed its resistance, enveloping Xingluo at the same time.

Open your eyes,

Lin Ran saw the three of them appear at the edge of the continent.

"Let's go," Lin said.

"it is good."

Inside the hovercar.

Lin Ran helped Xing Luo adapt to the pressure of the battlefield of the heavens, and the latter began to clean the car.

Lin Ran then asked Lin.

"Sister Lin, what exactly is the Starry Sky Realm like on the battlefield?"

"Hmm... You can think of it as the Starry Sky Realm being an inland lake within the battlefield of the heavens."

Lin Ran suddenly realized.

Good heavens, I thought the starry sky was big enough, but I didn't expect the battlefield of the heavens to be even bigger!

"Sister Lin, the information Zhou Yu told me—was that you the extraordinary individual who once helped the Star Guardians?"

"No, it's my master. More than a hundred years ago, she went deep into the battlefield of the heavens to find a way forward, and there has been no news of her since. All we know is that she is still alive."

Lin said calmly.

Lin Ran's words of condolence stuck in her throat.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Hmm... If the Star Guardians are like this, why haven't other races invaded?"

"It's also Master's method, a method that surpasses that of extraordinary beings. I can't fully understand it either, but if the Star Guardians ever face a crisis, and you have the ability, you should go and help."

"it is good."

Lin Ran agreed, saying he would do the same even if Lin didn't say anything.

The Star Guardians... are so sensible it's hard to describe.

……

Eleven hours later.

The hovercraft returned to the team's base.

Lin Ran put away the various attribute crystals that had buried him.

[Eight Gates Formation, Experience +11]

[Soul Nourishing Technique, Experience +55]

"Brother Lin, have we arrived?"

Xinglu nervously gripped Lin Ran's sleeve, having heard that there were many people in the group.

Lin Ran smiled and patted Xing Luo's hair.
