Lin Ran was very satisfied with the speed at which Lin Chong's strength was improving. He had previously been afraid that he had taken away a lot of opportunities from Lin Chong, which might have delayed Lin Chong's advancement. But facts proved that his son still had the potential to be an emperor.
……
Chapter 164: The Surprise Brought by Lin Chong
The father and son haven't seen each other for a long time. Now that they meet again, they naturally have a lot to talk about.
Wen Qianyi and the Ye sisters acted as listeners and tea pourers.
Lin Chong excitedly told Lin Ran everything he had experienced in the secret realm so far. Sometimes the Ye sisters also joined in to add to the story. When Lin Ran heard that Lin Chong and his friends had actually been to snow-capped mountains and volcanoes, he was shocked.
This made Lin Ran suddenly stunned, and he quickly asked: "Xiao Chong, have you ever encountered a monster that guards a place and is extremely powerful?"
When Lin Chong heard Lin Ran's question, he subconsciously asked, "Father, how did you know?"
"Then did you get such a small ball from that monster?" Lin Ran directly placed the crystal balls obtained from the rock beast and the Taishui Scale Dragon on the table.
Looking at the two crystal balls, the Ye sisters and Lin Chong became surprised and looked at each other. Then Lin Chong took out two more crystal balls from the space ring. One was an ice-blue crystal ball that seemed to have ice crystals in it, and the other was a fiery red crystal ball that looked like a burning flame. The four crystal balls gathered here in this way.
Fanhua's excited voice also rang in Lin Ran's mind: "You are so lucky. I didn't expect that the remaining two crystal balls would be obtained by your son."
Lin Ran ignored Fanhua. He looked at the four crystal balls on the table, took a deep breath, and looked at Lin Chong and asked, "Xiao Chong, how did you get these?"
"I don't know what to say either."
Lin Chong scratched his head and said, "The two monsters from Snow Mountain and Volcano were a little dazed. I attracted their attention and lured them out. Qingyi easily slipped in and got it.
Then, we fled all the way, and the two monsters stopped chasing us halfway."
"Ah, is it so simple?" Lin Ran couldn't help but exclaimed.
If the people in Lingjing Holy Land knew about this, they would probably be furious. They put in a lot of effort to kill the Taishui Scale Dragon and get the crystal ball, and you actually stole it.
"Father, what is the use of this crystal ball?"
Lin Chong glanced at Ye Wanxi beside him and continued, "I asked Wanxi to help look at it. She said it might be a key to open something. It has a strong power of Tao. Father, is that true?"
Lin Ran nodded, took a look at his future daughter-in-law, and couldn't help but smile: "Wanxi is right, Xiaochong, you have a good daughter-in-law, you must hold on to her and don't let Wanxi run away!"
Ye Wanxi blushed when she was told this. She held Lin Chong's hand and said coyly, "We're already engaged, why are you running away?"
Lin Ran thought secretly in his heart, you know, Nalan Ke broke off the engagement and ran away back then, but with Ye Wanxi's personality, she would not do such a thing.
He put aside all these distracting thoughts and explained to Lin Chong and the others, "These four crystal balls are actually the evidence of the test. After collecting them, we can open the bronze gate at the deepest part of this valley. Inside is the most precious thing in this secret realm, the inheritance of the ancient strong."
When Lin Ran said this, Lin Chong and others in the room were shocked. When they looked at the four crystal balls, their eyes changed. They didn't know whether to say it was surprise or fear. It was just like buying a lottery ticket. If you suddenly won the jackpot, anyone would feel panic and unbelievable.
But Lin Ran continued, "It's a pity... the inheritance has already been taken. These four crystal balls are actually for the inheritor to use to open the door. Even if someone else gets them, they are of no use."
The expressions of Lin Chong and the other three became visibly frustrated. They immediately lost interest in the four crystal balls. They even considered destroying the four crystal balls or simply hiding them from the inheritor.
However, Ye Wanxi soon noticed something was wrong and looked at Lin Ran and asked, "But Uncle Lin, how do you know these things?"
Lin Chong and Wen Qianyi also reacted immediately after hearing Ye Wanxi's words, but Ye Qingyi seemed a little confused. This girl still had a clear mind as always.
Since Lin Ran knows these things, does it mean that Lin Ran knows the inheritor, or does it mean that Lin Ran is the inheritor?
Lin Ran smiled, and once again admired Ye Wanxi's intelligence, and said with a smile: "The reason why I know these secrets is because I happen to know who the inheritor is, and I want to help her obtain this inheritance to repay her for saving my life."
When she heard the word "life-saving grace", Wen Qianyi knew who Lin Ran was talking about, and her expression immediately became a little bad, but she didn't say anything, just continued to listen quietly.
When Lin Chong heard what Lin Ran said, he pushed all four crystal balls in front of Lin Ran and said with a smile: "Since that person saved my father, I will give these two crystal balls to my father and let him pass them on to that person!"
Lin Chong thought that there was no point in keeping the crystal ball, so he might as well give it to his father and let his father repay the favor of saving his life.
"Hey, we can't do this!"
Lin Ran held Lin Chong's hand and said, "Father is exchanging something with you, I can't take it for nothing!"
"But what you gave me, father, is already very precious!" Lin Chong refused.
His father had given him the inheritance of the Qingling Sword Master, the Qingling Sword, and even the Gathering Spirit Pill from Sister Wen. Besides, he had not yet repaid his father for his upbringing, so how could he dare to ask his father for anything?
But Lin Ran was determined to change it so that he could give all the treasures he had obtained before to Lin Chong so that Lin Chong could grow up faster. Besides, how could a father take his son's things for free?
In the end, Lin Chong couldn't win over Lin Ran and took the ice-blue scroll that Lin Ran stuffed into his hand. There were flashing runes on it, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary thing.
Lin Chong wanted to give it back to his father, but when he saw his father's fierce look, he finally took it.
Seeing that Lin Chong finally succeeded, Lin Ran couldn't help but smile. He secretly sent a message to Lin Chong and said, "This is the inheritance of the ancient strongman Dongfang Yue. He was as famous as the Qingling Sword Saint in the past. He was famous for his fast sword. His sword was really fast. I have experienced it, so you have to study it well. This way, your future sword development will definitely be better!"
Lin Chong's eyes opened wide, he was almost dumbfounded, why did his father give him another inheritance from an ancient powerful man? Did his father buy this thing wholesale?
Because this was telepathy, Wen Qianyi and the others didn't hear the conversation, but they could tell from the scroll that it was no ordinary item. The Ye sisters were quite envious of Lin Chong for having such a good father who would give all the good things to his son.
Lin Ran put away the four crystal balls with a smile. Now that they had obtained the four crystal balls in advance, they could change their plan. Perhaps they could find an opportunity to sneak into the place of inheritance, open the bronze gate, and let Shangguan Mengqing accept the inheritance.
Lin Chong still had a lot to talk to Lin Ran about, and it was almost evening when Lin Chong reluctantly left. He also learned from his father that his father was going to plan a big event in the city, and he couldn't reveal his whereabouts in advance, so he would need his cooperation at that time.
This made him a little excited. When he returned to the camp at Tianli Academy, Lin Chong pulled Ye Wanxi back to the room and asked, "Wanxi, what do you think father will do next in this city?"
"Maybe we are going to the inheritance place!"
Ye Wanxi guessed casually. She looked at Lin Chong with a bit of resentment in her eyes and couldn't help but said coquettishly: "Brother Lin Chong, you were so busy talking to Uncle Lin today that you forgot to tell him about us!"
When Lin Chong heard what Ye Wanxi said, he slapped his forehead and said, "I just remembered this. Why didn't you remind me, Wanxi?"
"I warned you!"
Ye Wanxi pouted her pink lips, waved her fist angrily at Lin Chong, and said, "I hinted at you with my eyes several times, but you and Uncle Lin got more and more excited when chatting. You and Uncle Lin forgot about us women!"
"It's not that serious. Father is over there now anyway. We can go and ask for it tomorrow. But father said that we can't reveal our whereabouts. Isn't it too unfair for you to have such a simple wedding?" Lin Chong hugged Ye Wanxi in his arms, looked down at Ye Wanxi's pretty face, and couldn't help but peck her.
Ye Wanxi hummed softly. After a while, she blushed and said, "I want to hand myself over to you as soon as possible, so that I can have a child for you. You will go out to gain experience one day. I don't want to be like Sister Wen, crying every day. Having a child at least gives me hope."
"No, I promise you, even if I go out for training, I will definitely come back. Look, we have come all the way through this secret land." Lin Chong didn't expect Ye Wanxi to think so far.
Ye Wanxi shook her head like a rattle, bit Lin Chong's ear, exhaled hot air and said: "With such a beautiful wife and children, I am not afraid that you will abandon me and my sister in the future.
But if you really abandon us, I will go to Uncle Lin and Sister Wen to complain that you don’t want us. I will educate my child and make him a super powerful man to beat you to death! "
"Then I really need to think about it carefully!"
Lin Chong turned his head and found Ye Wanxi's pink lips. When he wanted to continue kissing her, Ye Wanxi dodged him. Ye Wanxi escaped from Lin Chong's arms and ran around the house like a child: "Catch me, if you catch up with me, I will let you kiss me!"
"Then I'll come now!"
.....
In the evening, a blood-red full moon rose in the sky again, and the earth turned blood-red again, but the city was still bustling with activity. The roars of the ferocious monsters did not seem to affect the noise in this huge city.
Lin Ran came out of Wen Qianyi's yard and came to a dark alley in a nearby street. He waited alone in the alley. After a while, a cool breeze blew and a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind Lin Ran...
……
Chapter 165: Mutation
Lin Ran felt the chill behind him, and could not help but turn around, looked at the figure with a wry smile and said, "Your stare makes my back go cold, and it scares me."
A clear and somewhat cold voice sounded: "I asked you to notify Qianyi and the others to lead the team to assist us in dealing with the Beiming Holy Land, but you neglected your duty. If I don't keep an eye on you, who should I keep an eye on?"
The figure seemed to be angry and took a few steps forward, just coming to the place where the blood-red moonlight shone. Under the blood-red light was Shangguan Mengqing, who was wearing a veil and only a pair of eyes were exposed. She looked at Lin Ran coldly, hoping that Lin Ran would give an explanation.
Lin Ran knew that he had indeed forgotten this important matter. When he saw Wen Qianyi, he was furious, and was questioned by Wen Qianyi, which made him sweat profusely. He had completely forgotten about this matter.
"Can I make a brief explanation?" Lin Ran said.
Shangguan Mengqing folded her hands over her chest, looked at Lin Ran, and said calmly: "You can talk, I won't listen anyway!"
Lin Ran: "..."
Doesn't this still mean he isn't allowed to defend himself?
Lin Ran gave up trying to explain the matter and quickly changed the subject, saying, "I discovered something important today. I think we need to change our current plan."
"Why?" Shangguan Mengqing asked.
Lin Ran kept it a secret and didn't tell him directly. He flipped his right hand and an exquisite wooden box appeared in his hand. He said mysteriously: "Guess what's inside?!"
Shangguan Mengqing glanced at Lin Ran and seeing that this guy was so eager for her to guess, she decided to satisfy this middle-aged man's little quirk.
She pretended to be surprised, clapped her hands, and said, "Wow, this must be something powerful. Let me guess... These can't be the four test certificates!"
Lin Ran: "..."
9五零⒈八0九0㈨
This woman has a really bad personality. Can't she just be like a normal girl?
"Shangguan Mengqing, you're so boring. Men won't like you being so smart." Lin Ran stuffed the box into Shangguan Mengqing's arms and said unhappily.
Shangguan Mengqing took the box and opened it. Inside the box were four crystal balls of different colors. She ignored Lin Ran's words and asked, "How did you get the remaining two?"
"My son Lin Chong happened to have been to those two places and stole the items from the guardian monsters there. After he found out they were of no use, he felt that he had put in a lot of effort but got nothing in return." Lin Ran explained.
Shangguan Mengqing stared at the test certificate in a daze, and suddenly said: "Did you bring anything to exchange with your son, or did you bring it directly? If you brought it directly, I have some sword moves and insights that are quite useful for sword cultivation. You can take it back to your son."
"I gave him a legacy from an ancient powerful man, who is Senior Dongfang Yue, who is as famous as the Qingling Sword Saint. You should know him." Lin Ran said with a smile.
"We still have to give it. Without this timely help, we might have to work harder, but I need some time to prepare." Shangguan Mengqing said.
In fact, she had wanted to give a gift to Lin Ran's child for a long time. Wen Qianyi had already given one... so she... had to give one too. This was a good opportunity to give them both together.
"There's no rush anyway. Now that we have four test certificates, our first target will definitely be the place of inheritance. But now the place of inheritance is tightly guarded, and the defense is not weak!" Lin Ran said with a frown.
Lin Ran also asked Lin Chong and the others about the force guarding the north gate. It can be said that the elites of the eight super sects are all gathered there, and formations and restrictions have been set up. It is extremely difficult to break through.
Moreover, they didn't know what would happen once the bronze gate was opened. Once those guys followed them in, other unexpected situations would inevitably occur. In order for Shangguan Mengqing to safely obtain the inheritance of Emperor Jingyue, these accidents must be avoided in advance.
"We can discuss this in the long run. Anyway, we have the initiative, so we can..." Shangguan Mengqing hadn't finished speaking yet...
Fanhua's voice rang in Lin Ran's mind: "Lin Ran, a wave of monsters is coming towards this city."
"what?"
Lin Ran couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, Shangguan Mengqing couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Lin Ran looked at Shangguan Mengqing seriously and said, "Sister Fanhua said that a wave of monsters is coming this way!"
When Shangguan Mengqing heard Lin Ran's words, her pupils suddenly shrank, but she seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but lower her head to think.
"Roar!"
At the same time, earth-shaking roars resounded through the sky, which was incomparably close to the city where they were. Immediately afterwards, there were rapid and dull "trampling" sounds, and the earth seemed to be shaking.
The guards at the city gate kept shouting along the street: "A wave of monsters is coming this way, everyone prepare for battle!"
Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing, who were hiding in the alley, watched as more and more people poured out of the street. A panic spread. Those who could come to this city must have experienced the impact of the monster tide, especially that horrific night. Many people died in the monster tide that night.
Now that they have escaped here, they thought they could avoid the monster tide, but they didn't expect that the monster tide would still reach here. After the painful experience of the monster tide, many people couldn't help but feel panic and fear. They have been traumatized by the monster tide. Some people even want to start attacking the north city gate, thinking that it must be safer there, and there might be treasures. Otherwise, why would those people from the super sects defend that place?
Shangguan Mengqing and Lin Ran retreated back to the shadows of the alley again. Shangguan Mengqing looked at Lin Ran and said, "Ask Sister Fanhua what level this monster tide is at?"
Lin Ran's soul asked Fanhua for a while, and then Lin Ran said with a bad expression: "Sister Fanhua said that the horror of this monster tide may be even more terrifying than what we experienced last time.
Feng Lian's erosion of the secret realm and her resistance to the seal are beyond imagination. Sister Fanhua's control over this secret realm is constantly slipping away, which also shows that Feng Lian's erosion of this secret realm has reached a terrifying level.
Sister Fanhua told us to hurry to the inheritance site, accept the inheritance, and refine the space core. We can’t let the evil god Feng Lian’s power erode the most critical space core. If Feng Lian gets hold of the space core, everyone in the secret realm will die in her hands.”
"There will no longer be daytime in the secret realm. This long blood-red night can only be truly broken after you accept the inheritance and defeat Feng Lian!"
After Lin Ran relayed Sister Fanhua's words, he couldn't help but feel helpless. He didn't expect the situation in the secret realm to suddenly become so bad. If Shangguan Mengqing could not accept the inheritance in time, everyone in the secret realm would be buried there. What a pressure this would be for Shangguan Mengqing!
Shangguan Mengqing also fell silent. After a moment, she raised her head again, looked at Lin Ran and asked, "Can't the restrictions in the secret realm be closed now? In that case, we can use the space token and leave the secret realm directly."
After asking Fanhua, Lin Ran shook his head and said, "That is something that can only be done after refining the core of space.
Although Sister Fanhua has control over the secret realm, it is only a small part of it, and those restrictions also involve the backup plan left by Saint Emperor Jingyue. Perhaps only after accepting the inheritance and asking Jingyue can we know. "
These words made Shangguan Mengqing confirm that there was only one path before her, which was to accept the inheritance, master this secret realm, and then defeat Feng Lian, the evil god of the Void Evil Clan.
There was no other way to go. So what should she do next? How to reach the inheritance place? How to take the next step?
She is really messy, really messy...
"Let me be alone for a while, you go find Qianyi and your children and discuss something with them first..." Shangguan Mengqing walked into the endless darkness of the alley alone.
Lin Ran looked at the lonely figure, and his heart felt like it was pierced by a needle. He couldn't help but shout to Shangguan Mengqing: "No matter what, I will be with you, regardless of life or death!"
Shangguan Mengqing paused for a long time before she responded softly:
"I believe you!"
