Faced with the curious gazes of the crowd, Li Ran was very calm. He casually found a seat to sit down on.
Hiding behind the pig’s head mask, he was unbridled as he sized everyone up.
This time, the participants of the so-called “Demon Slaying Conference” were young disciples from various sects. The one with the highest cultivation was only at the Golden Core Realm. That was Chen Zhutian, who sat at the top.
Coincidentally, Li Ran knew him.
Back in Yunxiao Village, he wanted to forcefully break into the house, but he was scared witless by Li Ran’s two divine abilities.
However, right now, he was sitting upright and dignified, possessing the bearing of someone from a distinguished sect.
Quite a few people surrounded him, flattering him with smiles.
He didn’t seem to have the appearance of a demon-killing cultivator. He was here to make friends.
Li Ran shook his head.
Last time in the secret realm, he had seen the so-called Righteous Path.
Clearly, their heart was darker than anyone else, yet they were still pretending to be aloof from the worldly matters. Truly hypocritical.
Of course, there was no lack of righteous people in the Righteous Path.
However, they were scarce.
At this moment, a system notification sounded in his mind.
【Mission Issued.】
【The Demon Slaying Conference is just a method for the Righteous path to gain fame. Please employ your own methods to take down their facade.】
【The quality of the reward will depend on the degree of completion!】
Li Ran laughed.
“A mission was triggered? Looks like I didn’t come here for nothing.”
The system had always been very generous.
Although there were not many missions, the rewards for each mission were all extremely generous.
Therefore, he would not let this mission go.
But right now, he wasn’t in a hurry. He had to observe the situation first.
“This brother…”
At this moment, the man sitting next to Li Ran said in embarrassment, “I am Luo Yong from Qilin Mountain Villa. May I ask for your name?”
Qilin Mountain Villa, a second-rate sect.
This Luo Yong was quite famous and had a first-rate talent. He had already reached the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm at the age of twenty.
Li Ran nodded and said, “I, Ji Er Bang Ying, reign from the Hard Country Gang. Greetings Brother Luo.”
“So it’s Brother Ji Er. I’ve known you for a long time.” Luo Yong cupped his fists.
Cough cough!
Li Ran cleared his throat. “Brother Luo, you should call me by name. That would sound more friendly.”
“Alright, Brother Bang Ying.” Luo Yong laughed, “Brother is quite special.”
“Because my father’s surname is Ji, and my mother’s surname is Er, they hope that I’ll be able to benefit the world, and fulfill my fate. That’s why I’m called Ji Er Bang Ying.“
“Fulfilling your fate? Great meaning!” Luo Yong sighed.
Li Ran smiled.
If Li Daoyuan heard this, he would probably faint from anger…
Luo Yong continued, “Brother Bang Ying, please forgive me for being ignorant, your Hard Country Gang… How come I’ve never heard of it?”
Li Ran said, “Brother Luo, it’s normal that you haven’t heard of it. We’re just a third-rate gang.”
Luo Yong said seriously, “No matter if it’s a third-rate or first-rate, we’re all on the Righteous Path. Our goal is to destroy the Devil Sects, so you don’t have to be so modest.”
Li Ran smiled.
This person was quite eloquent.
He continued, “Even though our gang isn’t big, we’re all people with lofty ambitions, especially our leader, Jia Tengying. One hand has an eagle claw, and one hand has reached perfection. His skill is known as the Golden Finger. Our leader can kill enemies in three seconds!”
Luo Yong praised, “What a Golden Finger! It sounds very powerful!”
Just as the two of them were having a passionate conversation, another yell sounded from the door.
“The Chief disciple of the Tianshu Institute, Lin Langyue has arrived!”
The air was quiet for a moment before boiling up!
“She actually came?!”
“That’s Lin Langyue?”
“She’s going to join the Demon Slaying Conference this time. This is big news!”
“The Tianshu Institute, Myriad Sword Pavilion… this is a huge scene!”
Everyone stood up and looked towards the door.
A few female cultivators stood on both sides of the door. A white-robed Daoist nun slowly walked in.
She was a young Daoist nun. Her white Daoist robe was unspeckled. Every walking gesture of hers was filled with a gentle touch to it as if she was about to ride the wind in the next second.
She had a pair of calm eyes that was devoid of impurity, seemingly indifferent to everything.
She was like a bright moon on the horizon.
Li Ran raised his eyebrows. “Tianshu Institute? That was what the old man said… What a coincidence!”
Luo Yong was shocked. He said in a low voice, “I didn’t expect that she would come as well!”
“Does Brother Luo know her?” Li Ran said curiously.
Luo Yong smiled bitterly. “Don’t make fun of me, Brother Bang Yi. Who doesn’t know Lin Langyue’s name? That is an existence that was able to crush Yue Jianli and ascend to the top of the Heavenly Genius Rankings!”
“Number one on the Heavenly Genius Rankings?”
Li Ran really didn’t know.
He rarely went down the mountain and was not interested in the so-called Heavenly Genius Rankings.
Moreover, the Tianshu Institute stayed in the secular world, and their disciples rarely set foot in the mortal world. The world knew very little about them.
Li Ran rubbed his chin, “Who would have thought that the mysterious First Brother of the rankings is a woman?”
“You don’t dare speak nonsense!”
Luo Yong hurriedly stopped him. “It’s rumored that she has an innate physique. Her cultivation speed is no less than a Saint-grade talent. I heard that she’s even stronger than Devil’s Sheng Zi Li Ran!”
“Stronger than Li Ran? That is impossible!”
“Do you know who Li Ran is? He is a genius born with a Daoist Mark, a reincarnation of a great emperor, and the number one genius in a thousand years! Furthermore, he is handsome, handsome, handsome, and handsome! A mere Wolf Fangyue is worthy of being compared to him? That’s funny!”
Luo Yong was speechless. “……”
“Brother Bang Ying, her name is Lin Langyue, not Wolf Fangyue… Why do I feel like you worship that devil very much?”
Cough cough!
Li Ran blurted out, “I was just casually mentioning…”
After Lin Langyue had entered, the entire restaurant fell silent.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with admiration, but no one dared to come up to greet her.
This was because she was too cold, coupled with her identity.
Finally, Chen Zhutian stood up and walked over quickly. He said excitedly, “I didn’t expect Fairy Lin to come here. You have made this gathering shine! Come, please take a seat!”
Lin Langyue nodded and answered, “Thank you.”
“Yes, yes.”
Chen Zhutian was grinning like a chrysanthemum.
Lin Langyue sat down at the head of the table, while the rest of the female cultivators silently stood behind her.
“Tch, her style is quite impressive.” Li Ran hated this seemingly innocent fairy the most.
If she was so detached from the world, why would she come to participate in such a grand meeting?
She must be a fake fairy, a real socialite!
He revealed a cold smile as he thought to himself, “Didn’t the old man ask me to beat up the disciple of Tianshu Institute? I don’t know whether this big sister from the Heavenly Genius Rankings can bear my beating or not!”
