General Wang was dumbfounded.
He could understand if the devils were to step up for Li Ran.
But what was going on with the Righteous Path?
Especially the female cultivators of the Tianshu Institute, their eyes were itching to eat him!
Sheng Zhixia also felt a bit dazed.
Li Ran had recently beaten up the Righteous Path disciples and even heavily injured Lin Langyue. He could be considered the Righteous Path’s public enemy.
However, the Righteous Path in front of them was actually protecting this devil.
“This…”
Li Ran walked in front of General Wang and looked at him calmly.
The tall shadow covered his body. His body was covered in bloodstains, emitting a terrifying aura like that of a ferocious beast.
General Wang’s heartbeat suddenly rose as if he was being targeted by a savage beast!
“Move aside.” Li Ran’s voice was calm.
General Wang’s heart trembled and he unconsciously took a step back.
He was a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator, but when faced with this youth, he felt a bit frightened.
This was an instinct that he had cultivated for a long time, indicating that this person was extremely dangerous!
But behind him was the Third Princess…
“General Wang, get out of the way!” Sheng Zhixia spoke while he was in a dilemma.
“Yes.” General Wang finally let out a sigh of relief and opened up a path.
Li Ran walked past them, not even looking at Sheng Zhixia.
The disciples of the Youluo Temple put away their immortal treasures and followed behind him.
Sheng Zhixia frowned slightly as she looked at the tall and sturdy figure, her gaze probing.
This was the first time she had seen the legendary Devil Sheng Zi, but he was completely out of her imagination.
When the conflict was resolved, the other cultivators put away their immortal treasures. The atmosphere finally eased a little.
Yue Jianli looked at General Wang and coldly said, “I know you’re a Nascent Soul cultivator, but if you dare to pull your sword at Li Ran again, I won’t let you off!”
After she finished speaking, she left with the Myriad Sword Pavilion disciples.
Qin Ruyan walked over with a bewitching smile. “As expected of the royal family. What a great heavenly might! I really want to try you. I wonder how sharp this general’s sword is?”
Even Lin Langyue was displeased and said with displeasure, “Princess Sheng, please take care of your subordinates. This isn’t the central plains!”
General Wang broke out in cold sweat.
What is going on?
I merely drew my sword out of reflex.
Why did I offend four top sects in one go?!
Sheng Zhixia wasn’t angry at all. She nodded and said, “This is my fault. General Wang only wanted to protect me. He doesn’t have any ill intentions. Please forgive me if I offended you.”
Hearing this, their expressions eased slightly.
At this moment, Sheng Zhixia asked, “Fairy Lin, can you take a step forward?”
Lin Langyue nodded.
The two of them walked to a secluded spot. Sheng Zhixia asked curiously, “Fairy Lin, why are the Righteous Path and Devil Path getting along so well in this city?”
Lin Langyue glanced at her. “You’re asking why the Righteous Path disciples are standing on Li Ran’s side, right?“
When Sheng Zhixia was seen through, she smiled embarrassedly. “Please, Fairy Lin.”
Lin Langyue sighed. “That’s because Li Ran saved their lives!”
When the beast tide attacked the city, Li Ran madly hunted demon beasts, indirectly saving many lives.
Tianshu Institute, Myriad Sword Pavilion, Joyous Unity Sect, Qilin Villa… Almost every sect was saved by him.
He was their savior.
Lin Langyue asked, “Didn’t you just ask me who organized the Righteous Path and Devil Path to resist the demon tide?
“It’s Li Ran.”
“If it weren’t for him jumping into the beast tide and igniting everyone’s blood, Southern Wind City would have long fallen and hundreds of thousands of commoners would have died!”
“If it weren’t for him killing the Thunderous Feral Lion and scaring the demons away, who knows how many more cultivators would have perished.”
“So…”
Lin Langyue said indifferently, “You’re provoking everyone by drawing your sword!”
There were four or five top-tier sects gathered in this city. So what if she was the Empress?
If the other party really had an ulterior motive, they did not mind staying behind forever!
“It’s actually like this!” Sheng Zhixia covered her mouth in shock.
It was surprisingly Li Ran who took the lead to stop this beast tide!
Shouldn’t the people of the Devil Path treat human life like grass? This Li Ran was the first-ranked Heavenly Devil, yet he was willing to risk his life for mortals?
It had simply overturned her belief in the Devil Path.
When she recalled what the guards had done, a trace of shame flashed through her eyes.
The other side had protected hundreds of thousands of people of the Sheng Clan, but her subordinate had drawn a sword towards the hero…
Sheng Zhixia bit her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Autumn Moon Restaurant.
Li Ran breathed in the bathtub and sighed comfortably.
After last night’s fierce battle, even he felt a little exhausted.
The ritualistic behavior of taking a bath could help him relieve his fatigue.
“Open the system.”
The system interface appeared before him.
After he killed the Thunder Lion last night, the progress bar for the hunting mission was immediately full.
Mission completed.
【Mission Completed】
【Degree of Completion: Perfect】
【Obtained Super Treasure Chest *1】
“Open the treasure chest.“
【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the divine ability “Six Words of Truth”!】
“It’s actually ‘Six Words of Truth’?”
This was a legendary divine ability of the Buddhism Path, also known as the Six-Word Mantra.
It was said that it contained great power, wisdom, and comprehension of the universe.
It had endless uses, and it was the nemesis of all demons!
With Li Ran’s Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, he could only display a portion of its might.
His mind moved while his entire body was enshrouded in golden light, and it seemed as if there was a Buddhist chant in the air.
Spreading his hand, the palm of his hand lit up with words as boundless Buddhist light shone out.
One could feel the terrifying power contained within it!
Li Ran shook his head in amusement. “The Six Words of Truth and the Demon Thrashing Fist, my abilities are getting stronger.”
What truly surprised him the most was the Heaven Seizing Technique.
The Youluo Temple disciples pursued the Dao and cultivated the Dao of the Everlasting Phenomenon. The Six-Word Mantra was a Buddhist divine ability that required the support of Buddhist power.
Logically speaking, these two did not belong under the same system.
However, under the control of the Heaven Seizing Technique, he was able to freely convert it.
Li Ran felt that this cultivation technique had mysterious origins.

Creak~
At this moment, the door was opened by someone.
Li Ran sensed it for a moment and immediately revealed a wicked smile as he silently dove into the bathtub.
Yue Jianli tiptoed in, trying to give Li Ran a surprise, only to find that the room was empty.
“Strange, shouldn’t he be taking a bath…” Yue Jianli was confused.
Just as she walked to the tub, a large hand suddenly reached out and pulled her into the water!
“Ah!”
Yue Jianli cried out as she fell into the bathtub.
