To be honest, the appearance of Taixu Ancient Dragon was beyond Lin Ran's expectations. Qi Shen didn't even give him a chance to resist, and directly brought him to the Ancient Dragon Island.
But if you think about it carefully, there is actually a traceable basis for everything.
In the original novel, as soon as Zi Yan entered Zhongzhou, the aura of her blood was sensed by the Taixu Ancient Dragon.
Although these old dragons have kept a low profile in recent years due to the division of Dragon Island, they have always been very concerned about Zhongzhou. Therefore, after sensing Lin Ran's breath, Qi Shen was ready to take action and take Lin Ran away.
However, Qi Shen was quite wary of Yao Chen's existence, but he did not expect that Lin Ran would walk out alone after entering the Dan Tower, which gave Qi Shen an opportunity.
With the cultivation level of a semi-saint, coupled with the terrifying body of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, even if Lin Ran's soul has reached the heavenly realm, he is no match for him.
All along, Lin Ran has been trying his best to avoid contact with the Taixu Ancient Dragon, because once he comes into contact with these guys, it means that Lin Ran will participate in a battle at the "Fighting Saint" level.
This is unacceptable to Lin Ran, who only has the cultivation level of a five-star Dou Zun.
But plans cannot keep up with changes. Therefore, after being taken away by Qi Shen, Lin Ran has been thinking about solutions.
He was not worried about his own safety. Gu Lie gave him the fighting skills jade slip. The attack of the eight-star fighting saint was a dimensionality reduction attack for the Taixu ancient dragon without the old dragon emperor.
Not to mention, he also has the trump card of Gu Yuan.
What Lin Ran was thinking about was how to maximize the benefits of this trip to Ancient Dragon Island!
"Soul Palace?"
After hearing what Lin Ran said, both Qi Shen and Zhu Li frowned: "Those half-human, half-ghost guys have always only cared about the soul, how could they be interested in the king?!"
"Hey, you said that."
Lin Ran snorted, "The whole body of the Taixu Ancient Dragon is full of treasures, not to mention a young Taixu Ancient Dragon. Go out and ask around. Is the soul body of an eighth-grade alchemist more valuable, or is the soul body of a young Taixu Ancient Dragon more valuable?"
"The Soul Palace is very powerful. If you don't have the ability to fight against them, then I won't hand that girl over to you."
"Bullshit! They are just a bunch of rats in the gutter. Why would I, Taixu Ancient Dragon, be afraid of them?!"
Qi Shen sneered: "I know what you are planning, I can help you deal with the Soul Palace, but Your Majesty, you must return to the clan!"
"I told you, half-saint isn't enough."
"Is that enough, old man?"
An indifferent voice sounded from the sky, accompanied by a suffocating majesty, and a magnificent voice suddenly rang out.
The next moment, an old man with white hair and extremely sharp eyes appeared in front of Lin Ran out of nowhere.
"Second Elder!"
"Meet the Second Elder Qingmu."
When they saw the person coming, Zhu Li and Qi Shen's faces changed and they hurriedly bowed to greet him.
Qing Mu nodded slightly, and then his eyes fell directly on Lin Ran: "I am Qing Mu, the second elder of Donglong Island. If you really have news about my Taixu Ancient Dragon King Clan, why not let me go with you to fight against the Soul Palace once?"
Hearing Qingmu's straightforward words, Lin Ran coughed lightly and whispered: "I have met the Second Elder Qingmu, I wonder how strong the Second Elder Qingmu is..."
"Two-star Dou Sheng."
"hiss!"
Lin Ran's pupils shrank slightly. If he had the help of this two-star Dou Sheng, the next plan would probably go quite smoothly!
"How is it, is my strength enough?" said the second elder Qingmu in a deep voice.
"That's enough."
Lin Ran's head was pounding like crazy, and then he looked puzzled and hesitated to speak.
Seeing Lin Ran like this, the Second Elder Qingmu did not hide anything and spoke directly: "Just tell me what you want. As long as I can satisfy you, I will satisfy you."
"No, no, no, I don't have any requests. I'm just a little confused."
Lin Ran hurriedly shook his head: "It is rumored that the Taixu Ancient Dragon is the world's number one demon beast overlord, but in my perception, besides you, there is only one other strong man on this Dragon Island. Although his cultivation is higher than yours, it is not much stronger... uh, what I mean is..."
"Boy, do you really think I dare not kill you?!"
"Elder Qi Shen, please don't be rude!"
The second elder Qingmu glanced at Qi Shen, and then looked at Lin Ran seriously: "You can actually see through my and my elder brother's aura cultivation... Heavenly realm soul?"
"I am a humble, peak eighth-grade alchemist." Lin Ran grinned, "The reason why Elder Qi Shen was able to break through to the semi-saint level was because he took my elixir."
As soon as these words came out, Elder Qingmu's eyes lit up with enlightenment. The idea of using soul power directly in his mind also disappeared. He nodded slightly, not hiding his admiration: "Very good, I see that you are only in your twenties, but you can achieve this level. Among all the humans I have seen, your talent is almost the most outstanding one."
"Overrated. Overrated."
"You humans are always so hypocritical."
The second elder Qingmu snorted and said, "I know your doubts. Don't worry, the Taixu Ancient Dragon is very powerful, very powerful. It's just because of some accidents that it has become what it is now."
"As for what it is, don't worry about it. This is the secret of our clan. You just need to tell me when to take action."
Lin Ran nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting for long. We can take action in three days at the shortest, or seven days at the longest!"
"very good!"
The second elder Qingmu nodded, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped Lin Ran on the chest.
Lin Ran only felt his chest getting hot, and the dragon scale armor on his body was passively activated. The fighting spirit in his body was also surging wildly at this moment. Even the Holy Gold Meteorite Heart Fire was ignited with a puff, burning the arm of the Second Elder Qingmu madly.
"This strange fire..."
Qingmu Long narrowed his eyes and looked at the Holy Golden Meteorite Heart Fire with interest. He even gently picked up a flower and played with it in his hand. However, the Holy Golden Meteorite Heart Fire that was powerful enough to burn the entire space could not burn him at all!
Seeing this scene, Lin Ran's eyelids twitched, but what he cared more about was his chest!
A stream of purple-gold blood was faintly visible on Lin Ran's left chest, like a dragon pattern. Once the terrifying energy contained in it erupted, I'm afraid that the entire space here would be completely destroyed!
"What does this mean, Second Elder?!" Lin Ran said angrily.
"It's just a small guarantee."
Qing Mu said calmly: "You already have the blood of my clan. As long as you can fulfill your promise, this ancient dragon's blood will be a great tonic for you. But if you break your promise, don't blame me for being rude."
"If you have thought about the right time to make your move, you only need to mobilize some of your soul power and integrate it into this drop of blood essence. There is also a trace of my soul in it."
"The Second Elder is very thoughtful."
"Of course, Elder Qi Shen, please see us off."
"yes!"
…
In the pale silver space channel, Qi Shen grabbed Lin Ran and sped along. Lin Ran was going back the same way he came here.
This trip to Ancient Dragon Island was really short, only a dozen minutes at most, and he didn't even stay in the space channel for long. He didn't even have a drink of a glass of water on Ancient Dragon Island before he was driven out.
Now that I'm here, at least let me see the scenery of Gulong Island and have a cup of tea...
If Qi Shen, Zhu Li and others knew what Lin Ran was thinking, they would probably burst into laughter out of anger.
You have used the royal family to coerce them to help you deal with the Soul Palace, and you still want to drink their tea? They have already been very restrained by not skinning you alive!
"Boy, I don't care what you are thinking, you must take this matter seriously!"
When the end of the space channel appeared, Qi Shen, who had kept silent all the way, suddenly stared at Lin Ran and said coldly: "Your Majesty is the hope of our clan. If you hand her over to us, you will be a friend of our Taixu Ancient Dragon. But if you don't..."
"You don't want to be hunted down by the Ancient Taixu Dragon!"
"Okay, okay, stop threatening me. I get it!"
Lin Ran said helplessly: "I have said that you will be able to see your king in three days at the shortest and seven days at the longest. Is that ok?"
Qi Shen stared at Lin Ran with his dragon eyes until Lin Ran felt uncomfortable all over. Then he withdrew his gaze and threw Lin Ran out of the space wormhole.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Lin Ran had a look of shock on his face. He flew in a 720-degree spiral in the air before he managed to steady himself. When he was about to curse, the crack in the space wormhole had already closed.
But soon after, another space fluctuation came, and the next moment, the figures of Yao Chen and the three giants of Danta emerged.
Seeing the person coming, Lin Ran swallowed the greeting that was about to come out of his mouth, but in his heart he was cursing this old guy Qi Shen for having no martial ethics.
"metropolitan."
Yao Chen looked at Lin Ran, who looked unhappy, and was a little confused: "Didn't you go back? Why did you come back suddenly? And what happened just now was..."
"Nothing, just by chance, I was prepared."
Lin Ran took a deep breath and said, "All we need to do now is track down the whereabouts of the three scorpion demons, and then we can set off!"
"What?"
"Are you ready?"
"this..."
Both the three giants of Danta and Yao Chen were a little surprised by Lin Ran's words. It had only been a short time, and they were so solemn before, wanting to be serious and solemn, but now they were ready?
However, seeing Lin Ran's unfriendly expression, no one asked more questions, but instead turned the topic to the three scorpion demons.
"It may not be easy to locate the three scorpion demons. Those three old guys are extremely cunning. Even though they were hated by everyone in Zhongzhou and were expelled several times, they are still alive and well."
Yao Chen said in a deep voice: "Plus, now that the human scorpion is dead, they will definitely try their best to cover up their whereabouts."
"Those three old guys may have a bad reputation, but they are really good at hiding and escaping."
"It is not the first time that various forces in Zhongzhou have surrounded and suppressed the three scorpion demons, but they escaped every time. It is indeed very difficult to locate them." Xuankongzi and Tianleizi nodded in agreement.
"This matter is indeed difficult..."
Lin Ran frowned slightly.
"Actually, I have a trick."
Xuan Yi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
"The three Scorpion Demons attacked you in order to absorb your original power. As a result, Scorpio broke through the bottleneck of the peak of Dou Zun and reached the semi-saint level, right?"
"That's right." Lin Ran nodded. This was not a secret. Anyone who was interested could find out by checking.
"That's easy. I accidentally got a special fighting skill for finding people. It can locate people with the same blood. The higher the concentration of similar blood, the more accurate the location."
Xuan Yi spoke calmly, and as soon as he said this, for some reason, everyone's eyes turned to Yao Chen.
Yao Chen showed a bit of helplessness, pointed at the fighting skill scroll in Xuan Yi's hand and said, "In other words, as long as the sect master practices this fighting skill scroll, he can lock the position of the Scorpio?"
"That's right." Xuan Yi nodded: "It's just that the consumption of Dou Qi may be relatively large. After all, Scorpio is now a semi-saint. Forcibly locating his position will inevitably consume a lot of Dou Qi."
"Okay, let me give it a try!"
Lin Ran took the fighting scroll from Xuan Yi's hand, opened it directly, and comprehended it carefully.
After a moment, Lin Ran sat cross-legged with his hands in a seal.
"Puff!"
The next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and at the same time, the vast Pure Yang Dou Qi in his body roared out. The blood suddenly stagnated in mid-air and was completely wrapped by the Dou Qi, forming the shape of a blood ball.
Under Lin Ran's control, the blood ball began to frantically devour the pure Yang Dou Qi. As it devoured the Dou Qi, waves continued to appear on the surface of the blood ball, and it even began to deform.
But this deformation did not last long. The blood ball seemed unable to bear it and exploded with a bang, turning into blood mist and dissipating completely. Lin Ran's face also suddenly turned pale.
"metropolitan!"
Yao Chen looked a little worried, but Lin Ran kept waving his hands.
After a few breaths, Lin Ran's face returned to calm. He clasped his hands together again and spat out another mouthful of blood.
This scene left everyone present stunned.
"It's truly worthy of being a pure yang body. Such terrifying self-healing ability is probably the only one of its kind in the world." Xuan Kongzi said with a wry smile.
"This little fellow is currently a Heavenly Realm soul. He should have completed two evolutions of the Pure Yang Body, the Blood Realm and the Soul Realm. I'm really curious about how terrifying he will be after completing the last evolution and stepping into the Return to Origin Realm..."
"Ah, endless life, endless source..."
The three people and Yao Chen were extremely impressed, and the blood ball in front of Lin Ran began to fluctuate violently again.
The next moment, the blood ball burst again, and Lin Ran's body trembled violently and was on the verge of falling!
Yao Chen quickly stabilized Lin Ran's body, frowning: "Sect Master, why don't you slow down a bit? This move seems to be too damaging to the blood and fighting spirit..."
"No."
Lin Ran shook his head and grinned, revealing his blood-stained teeth.
"Found it!"
