120: Chapter 120 The next step in the Heavenly God Mountain plan: Heading to the Overlord Clan!

Xia Lingshuang's eyes flickered, filled with tears, and she was infinitely touched, as if she were about to cry out at any second.

Lin Ran not only did not blame her for discarding that half of the taiyin heavenly fate stone, but instead promised to accompany her to storm the Heavenly God Mountain in the future.

With a husband like this, what more could a wife ask for?!

Lin Ran gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then lowered his head to kiss her red lips.

Xia Lingshuang hugged his neck tightly, the two of them inseparable like glue and lacquer.

"Ahem! We… did we come at a bad time?"

Suddenly, Yan Ruyu's voice rang out from behind them.

Xia Lingshuang's cheeks turned shy, and she gently pushed Lin Ran away, her expression somewhat unnatural.

"Young Master, Young Master! My Divine Fire has been extinguished!"

Ye Mingyue ran in flustered at this moment, her face slightly pale.

Originally, she was still Cultivating, but suddenly she saw a streak of red light pass through her body.

Afterwards, she sensed that her Divine Fire had vanished without a trace, and her Divine Path was completely severed!

In a panic, she came to find Lin Ran.

"Mm, it is not just you; everyone else's Divine Path has also been severed," Lin Ran said.

"Young Master, this… this… what is going on?!" Ye Mingyue swallowed hard with difficulty.

"It is the handiwork of the Heavenly God Mountain; this should be considered the prelude to the catastrophe," Lin Ran shook his head and said.

Until now, they did not know what the purpose of the Heavenly God Mountain actually was.

But there was no doubt that the Heavenly God Mountain would stir up an unprecedented catastrophe!

"Saint!"

Cang Li ran in at this moment, his face slightly pale.

When he saw that the room was already filled with people, he was slightly stunned.

"Saint, the Divine Path is broken!" Cang Li said, panting for breath.

"Mm, I know; the Divine Path of all living beings has been severed," Lin Ran said with a hint of helplessness.

Cang Li swallowed in terror: "This… this…"

The Divine Path of all living beings has been severed?!

What exactly happened just now?!

He was still Cultivating in the cultivation room, and then he inexplicably sensed that his Divine Path had been severed.

What on earth was going on?!

"In short, let's take it one step at a time. Even if the Divine Path is severed, we cannot give up on ourselves."

"If it is possible, we might even be able to find a way to repair the Divine Path," Lin Ran said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded.

"Hum!"

At Meng Qing's waist, a sound transmission token suddenly flashed.

She infused her Divine Sense into it, and her expression gradually turned gloomy.

"In the southern region of my Qing Province, the Xuanling Sect has been destroyed by someone, and in its place is a force called 'Heavenly God Mountain'!"

Hearing the three words "Heavenly God Mountain," Xia Lingshuang's breath hitched, and monstrous rage and killing intent surged in her eyes.

Lin Ran gently grabbed her hand and shook his head at her.

Only then did Xia Lingshuang gradually regain her reason and shrink closer into his arms.

"The Heavenly God Mountain dares to establish its own force in Qing Province so blatantly? Could it be that a Heavenly God Expert has already secretly descended to the Lower Realm?" Lin Ran muttered to himself.

"It is very likely; the Heavenly God Mountain is completely disregarding my Qingyu Pavilion."

"In other words, they want to destroy my Qingyu Pavilion and replace its status as the hegemon."

"Then, using Qing Province as the core, they will gradually expand outwards, and finally, bit by bit, erode and annex the entire Zhangming Emperor Realm!" Meng Qing said with a solemn expression.

Among the nine provinces of the Zhangming Emperor Realm, the geographical locations of Imperial Province and Qing Province are roughly surrounded by the other seven provinces.

The Heavenly God Mountain wants to stir up a catastrophe in Qing Province and wants to destroy the Qingyu Pavilion.

Perhaps they really want to occupy Qing Province and then slowly erode and annex the world in all directions.

"It is just… there are quite a few experts in the Zhangming Emperor Realm; I still cannot understand where this Heavenly God Mountain gets its confidence."

"Could it be just because they severed the Divine Path of all living beings?" Lin Ran frowned.

Wanting to use Qing Province as a base to erode in all directions, although it has high returns, it also carries high risks.

If they are not careful, the Heavenly God Mountain will suffer encirclement and suppression from other forces and will find it hard to recover.

Unless…

The Heavenly God Mountain believes it has absolute hard power and can fear no threat!

Then that would be too terrifying.

Cang Li's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he took out a sound transmission token from his Storage Ring.

After seeing the content of the transmission, his expression changed once again.

"What is it?" Lin Ran asked.

Cang Li gathered his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Saint, a young Prodigy from the Heavenly God Mountain has gone to our Ba Clan; it is said that he wants to defeat our Ba Tribe Goddess."

"His goal should be to defeat our Ba Tribe Goddess fair and square, and then marry our Ba Tribe Goddess."

"After all, we have a rule in the Ba Clan: if a young Prodigy of the clan is defeated by other Prodigies, the man submits, and the woman must be united in marriage with that person."

Lin Ran was greatly shocked.

The Heavenly God Mountain's actions were truly fast; he did not expect that they would have already set their sights on the Ba Clan just after being established.

That young Prodigy from the Heavenly God Mountain appeared to be seeking to be united in marriage with the Ba Tribe Goddess.

But in reality, his intention was not on the wine; he wanted to use the Ba Tribe Goddess as a medium to slowly make a move on the Ba Clan!

If the Heavenly God Mountain were truly allowed to form an alliance with the Ba Clan, I am afraid that it would be difficult for anyone in this Qing Province to restrict this Heavenly God Mountain!

【Ding! Detected that the Host has triggered a new Heavenly Mandate Mission, please make the following choice!】

【Option 1: This Son of Heavenly Mandate only wants to be a salted fish quietly, and only wants his harems to pickle himself with salt water!】

【Mission: Ignore the actions of the Heavenly God Mountain and spend a sweet world with Xia Lingshuang and the others!】

【Reward: 20,000 destiny points, a prosperous fireworks display (Kun Kun explosion technique!)】

【Option 2: This Son of Heavenly Mandate cares for the world; how can he let the Heavenly God Mountain act recklessly?!】

【Mission: Head to the Ba Clan and defeat the Spear General!】

【Reward: 20,000 destiny points, top-tier Divine Technique — Ascending Heaven Divine Finger!】

"I choose two!"

Lin Ran did not hesitate at all and chose option two directly.

He stood up immediately and ordered: "Cang Li, take me to your Ba Clan!"

"Little Ranran, I will accompany you!"

"Mm, I will go with you too."

Yan Ruyu and Xia Lingshuang, upon hearing that Lin Ran was going to the Ba Clan, immediately expressed their intention to follow.

The two of them, one is a Great Emperor Expert, and one is a Half-step Divine Fire Realm expert, could protect Lin Ran well.

"Young Master, I will go too!" Ye Mingyue jumped out and said.

Ever since she made progress together with Lin Ran, her cultivation had already broken through to the second heaven of the Star Venerable Realm.

Following by Lin Ran's side, she would not say she could do anything for Lin Ran, but at least she would not hold him back.

"Very well."

Lin Ran nodded and agreed to Ye Mingyue's following.

Although Ye Mingyue is the Saintess of the Qingyu Pavilion, she is even more his personal maid; if a personal maid does not follow by his side, how can she be called personal?

"Lin Ran, I also want to go to the Ba Clan with you!" Meng Qing looked at Lin Ran with hope, also wishing to follow by Lin Ran's side.

"No!"

However, Lin Ran refused very decisively.

"You, Meng Qing, must stay in the Qingyu Pavilion!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Qing immediately puffed up her cheeks in frustration: "Why?"

Lin Ran felt it was a bit funny and patiently explained:

"Meng Qing, you are the Pavilion Master of the Qingyu Pavilion; now that the Divine Path of all living beings is completely severed, the Qingyu Pavilion is exactly when it needs you."

"If you accompany me to the Ba Clan, what kind of situation would that be?"
