Lu Ran endured the buzzing in his head and withdrew from the God Demon Sculpture Garden.
Ever since the little Blazing Phoenix advanced to the Fourth Rank, he was completely liberated and rarely experienced brain buzzing.
But this time, he couldn't escape.
Lu Ran couldn't possibly drive the Blood Skull Evil Sculpture into the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd, that would be too inconsiderate! He didn't even dare to linger too long, fearing to disturb Sheep General.
As for when the "borrowing the body to return the soul" would come to fruition, Immortal Sheep did not give an accurate answer, only vaguely indicating that it would take some time.
Considering such a defiance of the heavens act, it should indeed be very difficult, even the domineering Sheep General might not be sure.
"Sigh..." Lu Ran let out a long sigh, plopping down into Jiang Ruyi's palm.
"Cheer up, everything is moving in a positive direction." Jiang Ruyi's voice was gentle.
"Hah!" Lu Ran let out a battle roar.
Jiang Ruyi: "..."
Lu Ran looked up at the Evil God: "How long has it been since we attacked the Blood Dust Divine Mountain?"
"Only three to four hours."
Lu Ran nodded, combining his current available forces, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go to Fengxiang God Mountain!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but frown slightly.
Not considering it a good time now.
Lu Ran had just found his deceased father's soul, and his father was still in a critical stage of resurrection, his emotions must be particularly mixed.
And within half a day, Lu Ran had already led his team to successively capture North Wind Divine Mountain and Blood Dust Divine Mountain, achieving significant battle achievements!
He opened the Domain of Silence every time, especially at Blood Dust Divine Mountain, his body was severely overdrawn, and he had just recovered a bit, was he going on an expedition again?
Indeed, Lu Ran had signed a Simurgh Phoenix Unity Contract with the Rou Paperman, who aided him unreservedly, fulfilling all requests.
She had become the most solid and reliable Evil God standing behind him.
But the problem is, even if Lu Ran can bear it, the Rou Paperman over there probably can't hold on, right?
"Isn't it a bit too aggressive?" Jiang Ruyi pondered, voicing the concern in her heart.
Lu Ran nodded: "That's why I targeted Fengxiang God Mountain, and not Jade-faced Snake's Gold Jade Divine Mountain or Martial Artist's Pear Garden Divine Mountain."
Jiang Ruyi slowly said: "Today, with continuous battles, the soldiers also need to rest.
Nightmare and Heavenly General Yin are still advancing in rank, after taking Blood Dust Divine Mountain, Lu Yuan and Qin Yanzhi's master-disciple are also advancing in the gourd.
Just wait three days or so, they can all return to the team."
Jiang Ruyi hadn't mentioned herself.
Inside Lu Ran's Rebirth Money, there was a Jade Talisman Dead Soul!
Just give Jiang Ruyi two or three days, and she too can have a Double Divine Position, becoming a complete god.
By then, her body's strength and all attributes will reach a new level, her power increase will be obvious, and she can start researching the fusion of Jade Talisman Divine Skill and Ghost Talisman Evil Technique.
Once Divine and Evil Technique perfectly combine, her combat power will greatly increase, that's undoubted!
"Time waits for no one." Lu Ran shook his head, exceptionally resolute.
In the past few hours, he had constantly fought against his physical limits, refusing to faint no matter what, dazedly persisting, just to seize time!
Lu Ran stood up, looking at that huge, stunningly beautiful face: "We can't guarantee there are no surviving Dust Shadow Flower-Evil Mirror Demon minions on the battlefield.
They might go inform various Divine Mountains."
God Demon minions are different from Human Clan believers, they are created independent entities based on a God Demon background.
After a God Demon perishes, minions are still alive and can cast spells.
This kind of minion is a typical "remnant," killing one means one less.
Lu Ran didn't think Blood Skull minions would go inform.
Because there simply wasn't any Blood Skull Clan presence on the battlefield.
Blood Skull Lord had significant privileges, he didn't spend Origin Energy to create minions, on this Southwest Front, he always fought enemies personally.
As a stone sculpture deity, whether Blood Skull slaughtered enemy troops, or stepped on allied troops, he could directly absorb resources from both sides.
This kind of behavior, caring only about killing to their heart's content, and seeking endlessly, was most probably something the God Demons up and down the Divine Mountain were angry about but didn't dare speak out against.
Otherwise, this situation wouldn't occur.
Therefore, the race possibly going to inform falls naturally on the Evil Mirror Demon minions.
"Hmm..." Jiang Ruyi pondered momentarily.
As early as when Ran Sect soldiers attacked Blood Dust Divine Mountain, they had focused on clearing this clan's minions.
When Lu Ran was exhausted and dazed, Jiang Ruyi wasn't idle, swiftly leading the team to eliminate remnants.
There weren't many Evil Mirror Demon minions at the front, ever since White-patterned Wolf-Blood Disaster Dog and Gold Tassel Elder-Straw Demon stationed in the Divine Mountain, their minions became the main force of the dare-to-die squads.
Additionally, the Faceless Jade Venerable Clan also objectively assisted Ran Sect immensely, frantically slaughtering all living beings.
Jiang Ruyi wasn't one to seek credit or rewards, she knew very well, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't ensure the Evil Mirror Demon Clan's complete extinction.
"Before the God Demons respond, we must acquire as much capital as possible, take down one, and it's a win!" Lu Ran apparently had made up his mind.
The current time is not like the past!
The once united front of the God Demon camp was scattered, each powerful god setting themselves as kings, forming small groups based on their respective mountain peaks and fighting individually.
Yet with the successive breaches of the Eastern, Northeastern, and Northern fronts, numerous gods perished, and the Faceless Jade Venerable thoroughly penetrated the Third Heaven internally.
Such a huge crisis was undoubtedly a catalyst for unity.
This could change the mentality of the God Demons again and again; any tactical adjustment is possible.
Martial Artist is the best example, he has already recalled the Ash team guarding the Southern front and is also urging Nu Ying to shrink the front and rapidly retreat.
"Alright!" Jiang Ruyi nodded lightly, "You stay here to hold the fort and command the overall situation, to prevent any other Divine Mountain forces from attacking, I'll take people to Fengxiang God Mountain."
"Ah?" Lu Ran's expression froze.
Jiang Ruyi calmly analyzed: "We've taken down the Blood Skull, which is excellent negotiation capital, we don't necessarily have to attack Fengxiang God Mountain, I'll try to recruit them first."
"Drink up!" Lu Ran shouted another battle cry.
Jiang Ruyi's words were interrupted, and she looked somewhat helplessly at the little figure on her fingertip.
"Leave some to guard the mountain; we go together!" Lu Ran said sternly.
"Mm... Mm."
Under his serious expression, many words from Jiang Ruyi swallowed back into her stomach.
Lu Ran immediately assigned troops and selected warriors for battle.
If possible, he would rather let Fairy Jiang guard this place, but over at Fengxiang God Mountain, there are, after all, two divine demons, Caster and Ghost Moon Fox.
They both possess the ability to turn invisible!
Lu Ran needs Jiang Ruyi's magic artifact, the stone token, to make Caster and Ghost Moon Fox appear.
Thinking of this pair of divine demons, Lu Ran had another headache. They can predict danger, after all...
Can this trip really fulfill wishes?
...
Within just a few minutes, Lu Ran stood tens of kilometers southwest of Fengxiang God Mountain.
He hid his form, standing in the air beneath the dark clouds, gazing at the towering divine mountain.
The scene before his eyes left Lu Ran a bit stunned.
Fengxiang God Mountain was in ruins, the mountain fractured, rocks crumbled, as if it had recently endured a fierce battle?
At this moment, the Faceless Jade Venerable Clan had already formed a siege around the divine mountain, constantly trying to shatter the mountain body.
Looking around, the battle situation seemed somewhat one-sided!
Lu Ran had visited Fengxiang God Mountain numerous times and knew that the divine demons guarding this mountain consisted of four groups:
Third-class god demon Spiritual Image - Residual Image, third-class god demon Poison Bee - Poison Flower, seventh-class god demon Profound Ape - Black Ape.
And sixth-rank god demon Caster - Ghost Moon Fox.
The first three had already merged, only Caster and Ghost Moon Fox remained alone.
And now...
Where's the poison bee with blossoms on its tail?
Where are the white-haired Caster, the charming White Fox?
Where did the black-haired giant apes go?
Looking at the battlefield, the number of these god demon minions was clearly not large, as if there were no subsequent supplies.
The large Spiritual Image had become the main force.
Lu Ran flashed quickly, observing around Fengxiang God Mountain, without seeing other god demons, only saw a proudly standing stone sculpture at the peak of the mountain - the Spiritual Image!
This...?
He looked up, startled to find only one Black Cloud Vortex left above the mountain!
Lu Ran was a bit stunned.
Did Poison Flower Bee, Profound Black Ape, Caster, and Ghost Moon Fox all fall?
No way!
Lu Ran observed the battlefield again and did not see the presence of the Faceless Jade Venerable's true form. The mountain would not have suffered such casualties without the true form.
Moreover, given Caster and Ghost Moon Fox's skills, Lu Ran didn't believe they would be completely wiped out.
The answer was clear: the other god demons on the mountain had already withdrawn!
They should have gone to seek refuge at other divine mountains.
Lu Ran pursed his lips, flashed, directly drilling into the only Black Cloud Vortex above the mountain.
Centered on the vortex entrance and exit, searching in every direction.
His speculation was again confirmed, He did not find traces of other ambushing god demons.
[Special situation at Fengxiang God Mountain!] Lu Ran immediately transmitted a report to the warriors in the camp, [Only the Spiritual Image is left on the mountain.]
[Only the Spiritual Image?] Jiang Ruyi raised her brow slightly.
[To be exact, it's the combined form of Spiritual Image and Demon Elephant.]
Lu Ran was transmitting while falling from the Black Cloud Vortex, overlooking the battlefield: [Judging by the number of god demon minions, Poison Flower Bee, Profound Black Ape and the like, should have left a while ago.]
Jiang Ruyi analyzed: [Maybe Caster and Ghost Moon Fox sensed impending danger, so they fled early.]
There are many possibilities, but Fairy Jiang pointed out the one that couldn't be ignored.
Perhaps when the Ran Sect warriors attacked Blood Dust Divine Mountain, they were seen by scouts of the stealthy Caster - Ghost Moon Fox.
Though Blood Dust Divine Mountain and Fengxiang God Mountain are quite far apart, they are neighboring in terms of location. It's very possible they're continuously monitoring the dynamics of the Southwest Front.
It could also be that Dust Shadow Flower and Evil Mirror Demon minions reported the information, even the Blood Skull failed, Fengxiang God Mountain certainly had good reason to retreat.
Whatever the reason, withdrawal has been decided.
The only question is: Why did the Spiritual Image not abandon the divine mountain and leave with its comrades?
Don't tell me, Lord Spiritual Image is truly determined to stand and fall with the divine mountain...?
He's quite noble?
Lu Ran's expression was somewhat strange; this is not something typical of god demons.
Or maybe, just go and ask Lord Spiritual Image directly?
Nowadays, I already have the qualification to converse with god demons.
Um... but before asking, I should find that old Cloud Sea subordinate.
Just in case?
