“Lin Ran!”
Yue Xun suddenly spoke up, at this moment he was standing on top of the high walls of the Yue family, his eyes slightly narrowed guessing what was going through his mind.
“If you have something to say, say it!”
Lin Ran looked at Yue Xun, his expression bland.
At this moment, he had already released all those people that the Yue family had kidnapped earlier.
Of course Huo Yan and Zhao Yu he naturally didn’t release, the ones released were those who had nothing to do with himself and were implicated for no reason.
“Lin Ran, you are powerful, I, Yue Xun, am now formally extending an invitation to you, as long as you agree to be our Yue family’s guest secretary, the grudge between us can be settled once and for all!”
“Even, every year our Yue family will give you a large sum of cultivation resources, as long as you help out when our Yue family needs it! How’s that?”
Yue Xun spoke.
“Pulling me in?”
Lin Ran smiled at his words.
The crowd on the side also listened with envy, in this Southern Serpent King Domain, which one of those who became a guest of the Yue Family was not a person of great strength.
The cultivation resources given by the Yue Family every year alone made many people greedy, not to mention the other benefits.
“Ai, I’m afraid this Lin Ran is going to say yes!”
“Yes, even my heart is moved in the face of this kind of resource solicitation!”
“You? What’s the use of your heart being moved, it’s not like the Yue family can see you!”
“Get lost!”
The crowd murmured, the Yue family’s status in the Southern Snake King Domain was very high, I’m afraid that anyone else would have agreed without thinking twice.
But Yue Xun’s mistake was that he didn’t understand Lin Ran, let alone know Lin Ran’s background, so his solicitation this time was doomed to fail.
“If you want to rope me in, this price is far from enough!”
Lin Ran laughed.
“Then what do you want?”
Yue Xun asked with a frown.
“What do I want? It’s simple! I want your life!”
Lin Ran laughed lightly, but his words were filled with ice cold.
“Lin Ran!”
Yue Xun chided, while his face clouded over.
“In this Southern Snake King Domain, there is no one who dares to challenge the position of our Yue Family! Don’t you eat your wine with respect!”
“Then what if I’m inclined to eat it!”
Lin Ran laughed.
Yue Xun’s eyes were icy cold, with a bit of killing intent.
“Fine! You asked for this, don’t say I, Yue Xun, didn’t give you a chance!”
Yue Xun’s face became completely icy cold, while only seeing him wave his palm.
A sharp aura instantly rushed out from within the Yue family mansion.
Lin Ran’s eyes micrometered, and in this instant, he actually felt a full eighteen sharp breaths.
These were eighteen auras that had arrived around himself almost instantly, surrounding him.
“All of them are in the pre-Dan Creation Realm?”
Lin Ran frowned slightly.
All eighteen of these people’s auras were surprisingly not all at the Pre-Dan Creation Realm, with this strength no wonder Yue Xun was emboldened.
Previously, the Four Elders of Hong Dong were only four people, but now the Yue Family had directly deployed eighteen people, and I was afraid that this strength would be considered very strong in the outside world.
“This is the Yue Family’s eighteen guards!”
“My god it’s really the Yue Family’s Eighteen Guards, this rumour is actually true!”
“It’s terrifying, the Yue Family actually has so many early Dan Creation Realm powerhouses! I’m afraid this could sweep through the entire Southern Domain except for the Snake King!”
The crowd let out a cry of shock.
The Yue Family’s eighteen guards were a legendary existence, and many people had only heard of them but had never seen them before, but they had never expected to see them with their own eyes this time.
“This is definitely the end, this is a full eighteen strong people at the early stage of the Dan Creation Scripture, I’m afraid even Yue Xun might not be able to beat them!”
“I mean no, this Yue Xun is too shameless, he actually called out all eighteen Yue Family guards!”
“Not only is it shameless, it’s simply too shameless!”
The crowd was chattering.
And at this moment, Lin Ran also felt a little pressure.
This was a full eighteen Dan Creation Realm powerhouses, after all? Although he had the strength of the peak of the Dan Creation Realm, as the saying goes, many ants can still bite an elephant, let alone this being people.
“Lin Ran! I’ll give you one last chance, to be our Yue Family’s guest secretary or not!”
Yue Xun asked in a cold voice.
“Humph! Making out some eighteen guards and trying to buy me off? You think I’m a paperweight!”
Lin Ran said in a cold voice, followed by a shake of the Condensing Frost Sword in his hand, and he instantly charged towards one of them.
There were eighteen of them on the other side, so naturally, Lin Ran could not just sit back and wait for death this time, so he had made up his mind from the start to make a pre-emptive strike.
“Strike!”
Yue Xun’s eyes were icy cold as he saw this and immediately chided.
The eighteen guards next to him all had icy eyes, and all of them had their spears or swords in their hands, and they were running straight towards Lin Ran.
With a cold look in his eyes, Lin Ran shook his Frost Condensation Sword in his hand, instantly picking apart the lance of one of the guards on the other side, and then stabbed him in the chest.
“Bang!”
A crisp metal clash sounded out, and the guard was directly shaken and sent flying backwards a long way.
Lin Ran also took two steps back at the same time before he was able to stabilise himself.
“That’s not right!”
Lin Ran was surprised in his heart.
He found that although the strength of these eighteen guards was at the early stage of the Dan Creation Realm, they were indeed much less powerful compared to the Four Elders of Hong Dong.
It was as if one had just crossed into the Dan Creation Realm, while the other had been stuck in the Dan Creation Realm for hundreds of years.
The strength between the two could be said to be high and low.
Lin Ran didn’t know that these eighteen Yue Family guards were existences that the Yue Family had found eighteen heaven and earth herbs through various means over the centuries to forcefully raise these eighteen dead guards to this level.
Their strength would always be stuck at the early stage of the Dan Creation Sutra, and similarly each of them individually would be a little weaker than other Dan Creation Realm powerhouses.
However, they were victorious in that there were many of them, eighteen of them, and they definitely had a fighting chance even against Yue Xun of the middle Dan Creation Realm.
“This Yue Clan is also bluffing, even this kind of strength wants to capture me!”
Lin Ran’s eyes were to icy cold as he shook the Condensing Frost Sword in his hand, instantly ice crystal lotus flowers flew across the sky and drifted directly towards the eighteen guards.
“Break!”
“Bang!”
Eighteen people struck out at the same time, slashing towards the ice crystal lotus.
But every time they broke the ice crystal lotus, more lotuses would appear.
Almost the instant Lin Ran struck, at least four of the guards had been covered in ice crystals and turned into ice men.
“Quickly merge to take him down!”
Yue Xun frowned at the sight and opened his mouth to scold.
“Yes!”
Eighteen people answered at the same time, followed by several of them rushing towards their frozen companion.
Quickly helping him to break through the ice.
These eighteen guards then directly gave up on surrounding Lin Ran and instead gathered together.
Lin Ran then saw that.
As the eighteen of them gathered together, a glow erupted from each of them.
The light quickly converged and actually formed a curtain of light very quickly, enveloping all eighteen of them.
“This is a formation?”
Lin Ran frowned at the sight, this was clearly a formation rooted in eighteen people.
As expected, the light grew thicker and soon it actually formed a huge human figure.
The figure was so tall and lanky that Lin Ran could only reach his opponent’s thighs when he stood in place.
In his hand was a blood-coloured sword so powerful that he made the crowd around him feel oppressed just by standing there.
At this moment, this huge figure’s strength had clearly reached the middle stage of the Dan Creation Sutra.
