Chapter 715 Qin Feng, you stay and follow me
"It's not that I don't want to take you there, but you will definitely die if you go." Lan Ran's tone slowed down completely, and the coldness on his face disappeared.
"I don't agree. There are fifty great ways and forty-nine heavenly evolutions. There must be a glimmer of hope for escape in the dark. It depends on whether we can seize it!
If Lord Lan Feng insists on defining the extremely small chance of survival as certain death, then it is actually the same for you and me to go in, both of us will die! Then why do you want to go?" Qin Ziling said.
Lan Ran was stumped by the question and looked at Qin Ziling, not knowing how to answer.
Her chances of survival were indeed extremely slim, especially since the Jiuxuan Sect was now in such a declining state. Shentu Kun was the only one qualified to go with her. Lan Ran could trust Shentu Kun not to betray his master, but she would never be naive enough to believe that he would stand by her side, through thick and thin, and share life and death with her.
Lan Ran didn't even plan to go with him, because when the opportunity came, she couldn't believe that he would not abandon his principles for the sake of profit and kill his fellow disciples.
So in fact, after entering the Dark Emperor Heaven, Lan Ran was ready to act alone.
A seventh-rank true immortal, without any Taoist treasure in hand, acting alone in the Dark Emperor Heaven, has no fundamental difference in hope of survival from Qin Ziling.
Because they are all very small!
"Don't think that I'm here to repay your help back then. Of course that's one of the reasons, but more importantly, I want to enter the Dark Emperor Heaven to seize the opportunity." Qin Ziling continued when he saw that Lan Ran didn't answer .
"Since you have made up your mind, I have no objection, but as for Master Yin Feng..." Lan Ran spoke after a long time.
"I have already talked to Master Yin Feng, and she respects my choice." Qin Ziling interrupted.
"Okay then! One year from now, come to my place and we'll go together!" Lan Ran had no choice but to nod when he heard that.
"Thank you, Master Lan Feng!" Qin Ziling bowed.
"Go!" Lan Ran looked at Qin Ziling deeply with complicated eyes, then said in a gentle voice.
"Okay, I'll come back in a year." Qin Ziling nodded, then turned and left.
Lan Ran looked at Qin Ziling's departing back and sighed quietly in his heart, feeling indescribably complicated.
This time she was determined to enter the Dark Emperor Heaven Cave, and some of her disciples also said they wanted to go with her, but she could see that they were just saying that out of spite. Of course, it was rare that they would say they wanted to go with her even though they knew they were going to die.
So Lan Ran was already very relieved in her heart, and she refused their request.
She refused, and they didn't insist.
This is reasonable and what Lan Ran expected.
But what Lan Ran never expected was that in the end, the person who was determined to follow her through life and death was a man she accidentally saved a hundred years ago.
…
After Qin Ziling left Xuanbing Peak, he first went to Xuantingfeng to explain everything to Yin Ranyue, and then immediately rushed to Luanmo Ridge in Juxianhai to gather people.
Qin Ziling moved all his two wives, four major disciples, Jian Bailou, Lai Yinuan, Qi Yu, Zheng Xinghan, Feng Ziluo, Zhu Lun, Jin Yu, etc., fourth-grade true immortals or fourth-grade cave heaven realm human immortals and above, and completely trustworthy core disciples into the Qiankun Cave Heaven world.
Qin Ziling knew very well that the Dark Emperor Sky, which only opened once every ten thousand years, was not only a great opportunity for him, but also a great opportunity for Xiao Qing and others.
If they seize it, they will soar into the sky, and it is even possible that because of this great opportunity, some of them will have the hope of breaking through the realm of true immortals and becoming Taoist immortals in the distant future, or breaking through the realm of cave heavens and entering the realm of enchantment.
Otherwise, if things follow the routine, with so many outstanding disciples of Wuji Sect, probably only a few can reach the level of Huangfu Xuan.
Since Huangfu Xuan was able to stand out from so many disciples of Jiuxuan Sect, he must be a person with extraordinary talent!
He could only reach the level of an eighth-grade True Immortal. How many disciples of Wuji Sect could be better than him?
However, in the path of cultivation, what is being competed for is not just talent, but also background, luck, willpower, etc.
How many talented people just have bad luck, or are too arrogant, and die halfway before they can really grow up.
A man as arrogant as Hao Bing would have died countless times if he didn't have a Taoist father. How could he have had the chance to get to where he is today and become an eighth-grade True Immortal!
Therefore, it doesn’t matter that the disciples of Wujimen are not as talented as Huangfu Xuan. As long as they follow Qin Ziling well and seize the opportunity, they may be able to go further than Huangfu Xuan.
…
One year later.
Underground at the back of Jiuxuan Mountain.
In the central square of a huge ruined city filled with traces of time and its former glory stood Yue Huai, the leader of the Jiuxuan Sect, the eight masters of the Xuanfeng Peaks, Qin Ziling, and an old man in white clothes with a snow-white beard that dragged on the ground and wrinkles on his face like old tree bark.
The fluctuations of immortal power from the old man in white gave Qin Ziling the feeling of a vast ocean or a towering mountain, causing an unshakable palpitation in his heart.
But at the same time, the old man in white gave Qin Ziling a sense of dim vitality, as if he were a candle in the wind, about to go out at any time.
"This is the ninth-grade true immortal. He is indeed powerful, but it's a pity that he still cannot escape fate!" Qin Ziling sighed secretly in his heart, but his eyes fell on a huge hexagonal formation carved on the ground in front of him.
The ancient runes on this hexagonal formation are also engraved with traces of time. Many of the runes are blurred and broken, but they still exude a hint of extremely mysterious spatial mysteries.
"This is the teleportation array!" Qin Ziling secretly exclaimed in his heart, but did not dare to release his soul to explore.
There are too many strong ones.
When Qin Ziling's eyes fell on the teleportation array, many people's eyes fell on him, revealing a hint of disbelief.
No one expected that Yin Ranyue's follower, who was only a fifth-rank true immortal, would actually follow Lan Ran to Dark Emperor Heaven.
"Thank you, Grand Elder!" Yue Huai bowed to the old man in white.
The old man in white nodded, pointed at the five Xuanfeng Peak Masters except Yin Ranyue and said: "This teleportation array is too old and difficult to operate, and my cultivation is not enough, so I need the five of you to stand still for a while. When I say start, you will input your immortal power with all your strength."
"Yes!" Wu Li and the other five masters of Xuanfeng bowed and accepted the order, then each of them took a step forward.
The old man in white also took a step forward.
“Let’s get started!”
At the command given by the old man in white, a vast ocean of immortal power surged into the position where he was standing. Upon seeing this, the five masters of Xuanfeng Peak also hurriedly made hand gestures and circulated their immortal power.
Soon, the entire huge hexagonal formation lit up, and a dreamlike door appeared in the middle of the hexagonal formation.
The other side of the door was all white and no one knew where it led to.
"Peak Master Shentu, Peak Master Lan, Qin Feng, come back alive!" Yue Huai looked at the three of them with a solemn expression.
"Yes!" The three of them accepted the order solemnly.
"Go!" Yue Huai said.
Shentu Kun glanced at Lan Ran and Qin Ziling, and took the lead to step into the door in the middle of the teleportation array.
The door was like ripples on calm water, and Shentu Kun was like a stone thrown into the calm water, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Qin Ziling glanced at Lan Ran and said, "Master Lan, we are separated unexpectedly. I am sorry for the offense."
As he spoke, he extended his hand towards Lan Ran.
Lan Ran looked at the hand Qin Ziling extended to him, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and held his hand.
The five masters of Xuanfeng Peak who were activating the formation were shocked when they saw this scene. They almost made mistakes. Yue Huai, who usually remained calm even when a mountain collapsed, had a subtle change in his expression and revealed a hint of disbelief.
Only Yin Ranyue's lips curled up into a smile, as if she had expected this to happen.
Qin Ziling and Lan Ran stepped into the portal together and soon disappeared.
As Qin Ziling and Lan Ran stepped into the portal, countless streams of light flashed before their eyes, like a river of time and space flowing past them.
Qin Ziling clearly felt Lan Ran holding his hand tightly.
Qin Ziling showed a look of surprise on his face.
Lan Ran has always been aloof yet calm and dignified, giving Qin Ziling the feeling that she is not afraid of anything. She is a very decisive and strong woman. Her decision to go to Dark Emperor Heaven this time also proves this point.
But the performance now seems a little different from what he imagined.
He didn't know how long it had been, it seemed very long, yet it seemed like just a few breaths. Qin Ziling felt the space around him twisting, giving him a dizzying feeling. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and everything became clear.
He and Lan Ran were already standing on a huge hexagonal formation similar to the Jiuxuan Mountain.
However, the runes on this hexagonal formation are relatively clear and complete, and it is obvious that they are regularly maintained.
This teleportation array is also located in the central square of a huge city.
When Qin Ziling and Lan Ran walked out of the portal, they immediately felt many eyes being cast towards them.
However, seeing the cultivation levels of Qin Ziling and Lan Ran, one was only a fifth-grade True Immortal, and the other a seventh-grade True Immortal, they all moved away. Only one person did not look away, with a hint of surprise, coldness, and even jealousy.
This person was Shentu Kun who arrived earlier.
"Master Lan Feng." Shentu Kun called out.
Lan Ran was startled, and calmly let go of Qin Ziling's hand. He nodded coldly at Shen Tu Kun and said, "What's the matter, Master Shen Tu?"
"This is Jinting City. Many powerful people from various forces have gathered here. It is best for you two to stay with me and don't easily conflict with others, especially not with the disciples of Dayin Sect." Shentu Kun said.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Shentu, but I have decided to go our separate ways." Lan Ran said calmly.
"You want to go your separate ways with me?" Shen Tukun's face darkened slightly when he heard this. He said, "You know, with your strength, if you go your separate ways with me, you won't have any chance of survival at all! If you follow me, at least you still have a chance of survival."
"I have always been prepared to die! And if I follow you, I won't be of much help to you. Instead, I will lose a chance to find an opportunity. It's better for us to separate. At least we have two hopes, right?" Lan Ran said.
"You don't trust me?" Shentu Kun said with a cold look.
"Master Shentu is overthinking." Lan Ran said.
After that, Lan Ran turned to Qin Ziling and said, "Let's go."
"You can go, but Qin Feng, you stay and follow me!" Shentu Kun said, his eyes becoming increasingly cold.
