Regarding the mischievous suggestion from Lord Immortal Sheep, Lu Ran naturally did not dare to heed it; he did not even dare to approach the Bee Elephant Divine Mountain, for fear that his body might be contaminated by the toxic pollen.

After gathering enough information, Lu Ran respectfully took his leave and retreated to the Holy Spirit Mountain.

Inside the study of the Tianya Residence.

Jiang Ruyi knelt in front of the low table, her slender jade hands cradling the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd, her fingertips occasionally brushing over its chubby body: "You are already a third-rank magical artifact, capable of storing divine power of vast magnitude."

The little Blazing Phoenix was extremely happy!

It rarely received praise from its mistress and bounced up and down in the palm of her hand.

Jiang Ruyi wrapped her fingers around the treasure gourd, not allowing it to be mischievous anymore: "Perhaps the effectiveness of your fourth-rank artifact is to refine Holy Spirit Energy from the vast divine power."

The Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd struggled lightly but couldn't break free, so it simply stayed put in its mistress's palm.

Jiang Ruyi wanted to continue her discussion with the little Blazing Phoenix about the possibilities of a fourth effect, but she suddenly sensed a strange sound coming from the hall.

"Whew~" A standing mirror tore through space-time and forcefully formed within the hall.

Jiang Ruyi immediately stood up to investigate, and she had just reached the study's doorway when she felt a heavy atmosphere rush towards her.

"What's going on?" She stood at the door, her voice as gentle as possible.

"The response from the God Demon is significant." Lu Ran came to the Taishi Chair and sat down heavily, letting out a deep sigh.

Jiang Ruyi stepped into the hall: "Could you elaborate?"

Lu Ran organized his words and provided an account of the situation, which made Jiang Ruyi's face turn to frost.

Thanks to Lord Immortal Sheep's guidance!

"However, the gods and demons have not yet reached the level of uniting their efforts." Lu Ran spoke again, "According to Lord Immortal Sheep, the gods and demons are mostly small groups within the mountain peaks, collaborating internally."

Jiang Ruyi snorted coldly.

Still unyielding until facing the true danger!

The divine and demonic camp has lost several generals in succession, yet still cannot unite against external forces?

Lu Ran continued: "I reckon that each Divine Mountain might have one or two groups of gods and demons who have not merged, serving as bait to lure the Ran Sect into the open, moreover..."

"What?"

"Jade Talisman's days are not going well."

"Hmm?" Jiang Ruyi raised an eyebrow slightly.

Lu Ran, in a rare good mood, chuckled: "Did you forget? We left traces of the Jade Talisman in all our recent demon-slaying battles."

When the effect of the Jade Talisman's Divine Technique·Quicksand Talisman wears off, Mud Flow River will solidify.

Still maintaining the undulating appearance of the river.

Jiang Ruyi: "I meant to ask how he is not doing well."

"Apparently, Qiang Xiu has called him to account." Lu Ran's expression turned odd.

Greedy Wolf-Evil Dog and Qiang Xiu-Evil Spear Emperor coexist on the same Divine Mountain, with the Demon Cave Vortex adjacent.

It's clear that Qiang Xiu is quite displeased with the death of Greedy Wolf and Evil Dog!

Lu Ran could understand, after all, when he first arrived at that Divine Mountain, he thought he was seeing the combination of Erlang God and the Howling Celestial Dog.

Who would be happy about the death of their pet dog?

"And then, Jade Talisman was put under special surveillance?" Jiang Ruyi speculated.

"Even worse." Lu Ran shook his head, "The reason Lord Immortal Sheep knows this is because Jade Talisman was forced to the front lines by Qiang Xiu, to shine and serve."

Jiang Ruyi: "..."

Forced to the front lines?

That's going to be tricky.

Lord Jade Talisman was on her list, but now that the divine being has gone to the front lines, how will she proceed?

"The first Evil God we slew was the Ghost Talisman Doll," Lu Ran analyzed, "Jade Talisman is indeed very suspicious."

Other gods and demons can only devour energy by slaying the Ghost Talisman Doll.

It's more like a one-time deal.

If the Jade Talisman kills the Ghost Talisman Doll, the benefits are immense!

Jade Talisman can not only recover all the skills of the Ghost Talisman but also complete its own divine position, taking its power to a higher level.

In the face of the declining momentum of the divine and demonic camp, Jade Talisman can't hold back any longer and dares to defy the rules upheld by the gods and demons for many years.

From this perspective, Jade Talisman would really be unjustly accused!

After all, in the ensuing days, a large number of gods and demons merged, and this practice was recognized by the divine and demonic camp.

The impatient Jade Talisman, wouldn't he be just a complete clown by now?

Lu Ran also said: "Do you think other gods and demons might think Jade Talisman is pretending?

Although having killed the Ghost Talisman with complete divine position, but still unwilling to show full strength in front line combat?"

This time, it was Jiang Ruyi's turn to look strange.

This might be the reason why the gods and demons can't unite, isn't it? It has long been their norm to scheme and doubt each other.

Perhaps the gods and demons really do suspect that Jade Talisman has been turned?

Similarly, could Lie Tian, Moon Spirit, and the likes have also been thought of as traitors?

Jiang Ruyi pondered for a moment, didn't continue on this topic, and instead said: "We should carefully choose our next target."

"Yes, it's getting harder and harder." Lu Ran lamented.

He was already prepared, knowing the great endeavor of slaying gods could never be smooth sailing.

But as the situation became increasingly unfavorable for the Ran Sect, it still gave him quite a headache.

Jiang Ruyi's eyes flickered slightly, she softly said: "Since the gods and demons are lurking in some Demon Cave as units.

Why don't we choose a Divine Mountain and capture all gods and demons within it?"

Lu Ran was slightly agape.

No longer focusing on a single god or demon, but directly... slaughtering a mountain?

Worthy of being my Evil God girlfriend!

Indeed bold!

Currently, Ran Sect indeed has many God Realm warriors: Lady Ran, Mad Immortal Protector, Glorious Divine General, Cold Heavenly General, and Ghostly Eyes Ghost.

There's also a truly complete god—the Evil Shadow Guardian!

If they carefully choose a Divine Mountain, does Ran Sect actually have the power to fight?

"How's that?" Jiang Ruyi sat in the Taishi Chair, habitually looking to her side as she made the proposal.

Unfortunately, the fog was too thick to see anything, but she could confirm Lu Ran sensed her gaze because a shout rang through the mist:

"Ah-ha!"

Jiang Ruyi rolled her eyes with a mix of annoyance and amusement.

The dignified Master of Ran Sect seemed to have some sort of switch on him.

Just one glance and he starts shrieking~

"Ahem." Lu Ran was a bit embarrassed and hurriedly said, "This matter is no small thing; let's have a good chat with the warriors."

Jiang Ruyi closed her eyes, playing with the plump Treasure Gourd in her hand: "This time, we'll try not to leave traces of the Jade Talisman on the battlefield."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Ruyi smiled faintly and said, "The Jade Talisman has been forced to the front line and can't participate in the battle against the God Demon, right?"

Lu Ran: "..."

Lady Xian Mo truly stepped on the Jade Talisman hard, huh?

Tsk~

I like it!

"Let's enter the garden, come over to the Divine Camp." Jiang Ruyi stood up, picking up the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd and walked towards the study, "I'll gather the warriors."

"Alright." Lu Ran closed his eyes, just about to enter the spiritual world, when he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the right front.

At the same time, Jiang Ruyi also stopped and frowned, looking towards the bedroom.

Tianya Haijiao, shrouded in dense fog.

To draw the attention of Lu Jiang in such an environment, you'd have to make quite a large commotion.

And at this moment, the fluctuation of Divine Power in the bedroom was undoubtedly intense!

[Don't make a noise, I'll go check.] Lu Ran tightened his body, hid his form immediately, and sent a mental message to Jiang Ruyi.

[Okay.] Jiang Ruyi paused, activating the Magic Artifact·Smoke Green Gauze tied at the back of her head, striving to conceal her aura.

Who has such audacity?

Dare to cause trouble in Ran Sect!

And to use a special skill to directly break into the Master of Ran Sect's bedroom?

Lu Ran cautiously flew forward, his heart in his throat.

Such a commotion inevitably reminded him of when he had just used the Landing Mirror to forcibly tear through time and space.

Could this be some Heavenly Realm Dust Shadow Believer or Evil Mirror Disciple coming to investigate... Huh?

Lu Ran halted in his tracks, his expression bewildered.

In one corner of the bedroom stood a finely carved wardrobe, and beside it at the dressing table, the Divine Power fluctuation was extremely intense.

[Not a Human Clan nor God Demon minion.] Smoke and Mist Silk swirled around Lu Ran, gently reminding him, [More like...]

[What?] Lu Ran's eyes penetrated the fog, locking onto the dressing table's drawer.

[The breath of a similar kind.]

Lu Ran blinked, even more perplexed.

Divine Weapon?

The treasure either stayed on Lu Ran or was placed in the study, never in the dressing table drawer.

[Ruyi, did you put some Magic Artifact in the drawer?] Lu Ran silently flew forward and stopped in front of the dressing table.

[No, I carry them all with me.] Jiang Ruyi promptly responded.

Lu Ran placed a hand on the drawer and slowly pulled it open.

Immediately, his mouth formed an 'o' shape!

This... this this?

Isn't this the Blood Crystal Mask that little Yuanxi gifted him?

[My gosh!] Lu Ran was stunned, staring dumbly at the half-face mask, only to see crystal clear blood crystal material inside, with strands of blood threads fluttering wildly.

Sometimes gathering into streams, meandering.

Sometimes dispersing into thin mist, covering the entire mask.

Eerie yet beautiful!

[What's that?] Jiang Ruyi inquired.

[The birthday gift little Yuanxi gave me before.] Lu Ran reached into the drawer, his fingers gently touching the mask, [It seems to be gathering Artifact Spirit.]

[Oh?] Jiang Ruyi was quite surprised and immediately flew into the bedroom.

She had seen the birth of Divine Weapons but never witnessed an ordinary item transform into a Magic Artifact.

To anyone, it's a rare scene in a lifetime.

After all, the birth of Magic Artifacts relies on the item itself absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, absorbing Divine Power.

The cultivation environment of Ran Sect, no need to elaborate.

Whenever fog shrouds, it often lasts half a month or a month; warriors' advancements frequently link together.

From the previous Cloud Sea Cliff to the current Tianya Haijiao, this mask has always accompanied Lu Ran, and together they've experienced a long period of battles in the Mountain Realm.

Until Lu Ran ascended to the Heavenly Realm, it stayed with him, slaying many Faceless Jade Venerables.

But later, Lu Ran "ascended as an Immortal," donned a snowy feather garment, and wore an Immortal's ribbon, this mask was also stored in the bedroom.

And now...

"Incredible!"

Lu Ran was full of joy, his fingertips continuously stroking the exquisite Blood Crystal Mask.

Oddly, strands of blood mist inside the mask chased his fingertips, flowing together...
