"Hey, long time no see, Gu... Gu Zheng, right?"
Lin Ran waved his hand, stepped onto the stairs, and staggered to the attic.
The Black Annihilation Army on both sides wanted to stop him, but after seeing the token on Lin Ran's waist, they immediately stopped what they were doing and continued to stand guard.
"It's Gu Zhen! The real one is real!"
Gu Zhen stood up with a helpless look on his face and welcomed Lin Ran in.
"They are almost the same. Hey, your cultivation level..."
Lin Ran kept laughing, but seemed to have noticed something, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
At that time, Gu Zhen's cultivation was almost the same as his, both were at the peak level of five-star Dou Zun.
At this moment, in Lin Ran's perception, Gu Zhen's cultivation had actually reached the six-star Dou Zun!
If this aura was not perceived incorrectly, it had only been a short month, and even Lin Ran, who had a pure yang body, had not made a breakthrough. Gu Zhen was the first to break through to the six-star Dou Zun, which inevitably surprised Lin Ran.
"Gu Zhen just stimulated the power of his bloodline not long ago, so his cultivation has been improved to a certain extent." When Lin Ran was surprised, a laugh came from the mouth of the elegant and easy-going man in green.
Lin Ran turned his head and saw that the man was wearing a thin blue shirt. His face was handsome and gave people a feeling of elegance.
The most crucial thing is that in Lin Ran's perception, this person's aura is extremely obscure. If Lin Ran's soul realm had not broken through to the heavenly realm, it would have been difficult to detect this person's cultivation.
"The power of blood? You people who carry the emperor's blood are so happy. You don't have to do anything and your cultivation level will increase dramatically." Lin Ran sighed.
"Talent is only a part of it. Whether it's the Emperor's blood or the Pure Yang body, they are all innate qualities. They can only determine your lower limit, but cannot represent your upper limit." The man in green said with a smile: "My name is Gu Qingyang."
"Lin Ran."
Lin Ran looked up and down at Gu Qingyang in front of him. Although he had seen this man chatting and laughing with Gu Zhen before and had some guesses in his mind, he did not expect that the man in front of him was Gu Qingyang.
Gu Qingyang, the authority of the Black Annihilation Army is only under the Black Annihilation King. He is the Grand Commander of the Black Annihilation Army, his nominal superior, and the most talented person in the Ancient Clan except for Xun'er!
The future Black Annihilation King, in the original book, after the Five Emperors broke through the sky, he became the next patriarch of the Ancient Clan!
"I have heard too much about Brother Lin Ran's reputation."
Gu Qingyang looked at Lin Ran with a smile: "In the past few years, Zhongzhou has been full of your achievements. Not long ago, you defeated the five Dou Zuns of the Soul Palace by yourself. You even killed a strong man like Xuehe, the fourth Tianzu of the Soul Palace. Even among my clan, few people can compare with you!"
Look, he is worthy of being the next patriarch of the Ancient Clan after Xiao Yan and Xun'er left the Dou Qi Continent in the original novel. What a sophisticated statement he made.
The first words that others said when greeting Lin Ran were either "Pure Yang Body" or "The Three Scorpion Demons". It was clear that the reason why Lin Ran was able to do all these things and grow to this point was purely due to his Pure Yang Body and the Three Scorpion Demons.
Although what he said was true, when Gu Qingyang opened his mouth, he actually started to flatter Lin Ran, which really showed his high emotional intelligence.
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, they are just a few second-rate Dou Zun."
Lin Ran waved his hands repeatedly, speaking in a Versailles tone: "I see that Brother Qingyang is so dignified and majestic at such a young age. Even Brother Gu Zheng is slightly inferior to you. I believe that Brother Qingyang must be in a high position in this ancient clan."
Gu Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but say: "It's Gu Zhen, it's true! Also, Brother Qingyang is the commander-in-chief of my Black Annihilation Army, and his status is only second to King Black Annihilation, so watch your words!"
After hearing this, Lin Ran pretended to be enlightened, with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that the person Senior Gu Lie asked me to find was you!"
Senior Gu Lie?!
When this special term appeared, both Gu Qingyang and Gu Zhen's faces changed slightly, but Lin Ran didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, he took out the jade pendant from his waist with a smile and handed it to Gu Qingyang.
"This is the jade pendant given to me by Senior Gu Lie, saying that it will make me the fifth commander-in-chief of the Black Annihilation Army. I don't know anything, but since Brother Qingyang is the commander-in-chief of the Black Annihilation Army, I'll leave it to Brother Qingyang to decide."
"What?!"
"The Fifth Governor?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Zhen stood up abruptly and looked at Lin Ran with an incredible expression. Even Gu Qingyang was a little uncalm, his aura showed obvious fluctuations, and his powerful cultivation made Lin Ran look sideways.
At the peak of the seventh level of Dou Zun, this level of cultivation is even comparable to that of a human scorpion!
He is truly a top-level genius whose talent is only second to Xun'er!
"Brother Lin Ran, are you sure what you said is true?!" Gu Zhen couldn't help but speak.
Eight commanders, four sub-commanders, and one Black Annihilation King.
This kind of rules and regulations have been in place in the Black Annihilation Army for thousands of years. The sudden appearance of a Fifth Commander-in-Chief today would shock everyone.
"Okay Gu Zhen, the jade pendant is real, and Brother Lin Ran won't speak nonsense without any evidence."
Gu Qingyang shouted softly, and Gu Zhen came back to his senses and said sorry softly.
That makes sense. This place is the ancient clan, and it is also the base camp of the Black Annihilation Army. It is impossible for Lin Ran to cheat there, not to mention that Lin Ran also took out the jade pendant of the Black Annihilation King...
There is no doubt that this fifth governor was not Lin Ran's idea, but the idea of the Black Annihilation King!
Gu Qingyang took a deep breath and returned the jade pendant to Lin Ran: "Brother Lin Ran, since you are the fifth governor appointed by the Black Annihilation King, there is naturally no problem. After all, my Black Annihilation Army is based on the principle of promoting the capable and demoting the weak. We will conduct assessments every year, and those who fail to meet the assessment standards will be eliminated."
"Brother Lin Ran's strength is obvious to all. It is reasonable for him to become the fifth commander of our Black Annihilation Army. I will send a message to the entire army later to announce Brother Lin Ran's identity and the appointment of the fifth commander!"
"Thank you very much, Brother Qingyang!"
Lin Ran put away the jade pendant with a smile. This saved him a lot of trouble.
During the conversation with Gu Lie, he was recognized by Gu Lie and was given the position of the fifth governor.
But Gulie did not directly give him anything that symbolized his identity as a member of the Black Annihilation Army. He only gave him verbal certification and asked him to communicate more with the members of the Black Annihilation Army.
This forced Lin Ran to take some action.
He thought it would be troublesome, but he unexpectedly met a big guy on the way, who sent him directly to the base camp of the Black Annihilation Army, and he met Gu Qingyang directly.
What else is there to say? Once the jade pendant was displayed, everything became natural.
Lin Ran's face was full of smiles, and in the void, a majestic figure like a mountain was watching this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but say: "Gu Dao, if you are really so free, then go and fight those bastards of the Soul Clan."
"King Hei Yan is joking. It was just a coincidence for me."
The next moment, a man with white hair and a youthful face, who looked like an immortal, appeared beside Gu Lie. He smiled and bowed to him, saying, "It's all fate."
If Lin Ran were here, he would be surprised to find that this person was the one he just met!
Gu Lie curled his lips, but he had to admit that Gu Dao did not do anything. Everything was just as Gu Dao said, it was fate and luck.
After all, this is the Pure Yang Body!
Gu Dao smiled and looked at Gu Lie. Gu Lie did not say much. He waved his hand and threw a black token from the void. Then a majestic voice came out of his mouth and spread throughout the Black Annihilation Army.
"From today on, our Black Annihilation Army will establish a fifth commander-in-chief, and Lin Ran will temporarily take on this position."
Hearing this majestic voice, all the members of the Black Annihilation Army were moved at this moment, and they all saluted respectfully towards the sky. Even Gu Zhen and Gu Qingyang bowed their heads deeply and saluted.
At the same time, under their gaze, the black jade token emerged from the void and fell into Lin Ran's hands.
Lin Ran took it over, and then imitated Gu Qingyang and the others, bowing slightly to the sky as a sign of respect.
"What, the Fifth Governor?!"
At the same time, in the ancient world, three figures froze in mid-air, looking at the sky in disbelief.
"The situation of eight commanders and four governors has continued for thousands of years. Why would King Heiyan suddenly set up the position of the fifth governor?" A man in a silver robe looked at the sky and whispered.
"The order of the Black Annihilation King is the highest will of the Black Annihilation Army. We don't need to question this."
A burly man with a buzzing voice, like thunder, extremely loud. Although this man looks a little silly, the aura emanating from his body is extremely powerful, like the earth, steady and solid.
"That being said, the candidate for the fifth governor..."
The man in the silver robe couldn't help but look to his side. The ancient demon with black and white hair had his fists clenched and his face was extremely gloomy.
Although the fact that Lin Ran defeated the ancient demon with one move and insulted and trampled on it was not deliberately publicized, it was no secret among the top leaders of the Black Annihilation Army.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
And at this moment, King Hei Yan actually appointed Lin Ran as the fifth commander-in-chief, which was undoubtedly putting the ancient demon on the fire!
"What are you looking at? Can you two be his match?!"
Feeling the gaze of the man in silver robe, the ancient demon snorted coldly, too lazy to say anything more, and disappeared from the spot.
"I'm afraid this guy will have to avoid Lin Ran when he sees him in the future."
"I guess they don't even dare to meet him, hahahaha..."
Seeing the ancient demon leave directly, the man in silver robe and the strong man both laughed.
Being defeated by someone higher in level is nothing. This kind of thing happens all the time to geniuses like them. Almost every day someone defeats someone higher in level.
But at the same time as being defeated by someone of a higher level, he was also wantonly humiliated, and the humiliator has now become a colleague...
This is going to be so much fun!
The silver-robed man and the strong man walked towards the depths of the ancient clan with a smile, while the figure of the ancient monster that had disappeared before slowly appeared below.
His face was extremely gloomy, and the nails of his hands were deeply embedded in his palms. Bright red blood continued to flow out, staining his hands red.
Those eyes, which were already filled with murderous intent and evil spirit, were now completely filled with resentment!
"Lin...Ran..."
"To be so angry and jealous is not what a qualified commander of the Black Annihilation Army should do, let alone the so-called Black Annihilation King in the future."
Suddenly, a gentle voice with a hint of disappointment sounded from behind the ancient demon.
"who?!"
The ancient demon's body trembled suddenly, and he turned his head abruptly, only to find a kind-looking old man standing quietly behind him, looking at him calmly.
When he saw the old man, the ancient demon's face suddenly changed. He quickly lowered his head and bowed respectfully.
"Gu Yao meets Elder Gu Yang!"
Gu Yang shook his head: "No need for extra courtesy. As the commander-in-chief of the Black Annihilation Army, you don't even have the courage to admit defeat. This really makes me a little disappointed."
"No, it's not like that, Elder Guyang!"
Gu Yao's face changed slightly, and he said hurriedly: "It's not that I don't dare to admit defeat. Indeed, Lin Ran is stronger than me. I admit this, but, but..."
"What you care about is his insult to you?"
There was a hint of harshness in Gu Yang's calm voice: "But you are a loser. Losers are not qualified to ask for anything. Losers should accept this humiliation."
"But, but..."
The ancient demon gritted his teeth, and after a moment, he finally took a deep breath and said very unwillingly: "I am indeed a loser."
"…This is the ancient demon I know."
Seeing Gu Yao speaking like this, Gu Yang finally smiled. He patted Gu Yao on the shoulder and said, "Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is to refuse to fail and deny failure."
"You are a junior that I am very optimistic about. To be honest, in my opinion, your talent is not even inferior to Qingyang's."
"Elder Guyang..."
There was a hint of emotion in the ancient demon's eyes.
What kind of existence is Gu Yang? He is the second elder of the ancestral hall and has an extremely high status in the ancient clan. Even the clan leader and King Hei Yan have to be courteous to him.
Gu Yao was naturally very excited to receive such recognition from Gu Yang. Gu Yang also patted Gu Yao on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Too much nonsense, I won't say much. I believe in your potential. However, now that the Black Annihilation King has decided to let Lin Ran become the fifth commander of the Black Annihilation Army, you and him will definitely have many intersections in the future, even if you don't see each other often... Your current strength is not enough."
Hearing this, Gu Yao's face darkened, but he immediately raised his head and looked at Gu Yang with some excitement: "Elder Gu Yang, what do you mean..."
Gu Yang looked at Gu Yao with a smile, and his body was slowly swallowed by the space. After a moment, a slight voice came from the space and fell into the ears of Gu Yao.
"Come to the ancestral temple to find me in three days."
"!!!"
The ancient demon was overjoyed: "Thank you, Elder!"
