135: Chapter 135 Encountering an "Old Acquaintance" and Killing Xiao Huohuo!

"Improve my cultivation? I think I'll pass."

"There are Restrictions within the Divine Forbidden Land; it is best to leave with the same cultivation level you entered with."

"Otherwise, if your cultivation breaks through to the Moon Venerable Realm, I fear you will be violently killed by the Restriction here."

Cang Yunrou shook her head and said earnestly.

"It's fine. The source spirit bubble can be temporarily stored in the Dantian. You can refine it whenever you want to; there is no need to rush."

Ye Mingyue smiled adorably.

"Hmm, then let's go find the source tree first."

Lin Ran spread his Cloud-Chasing Moon-Pursuing Divine Wings behind him, picked up the two women, and flew towards the ancient mountain in the distance.

Meanwhile, two other figures were also rushing towards that ancient mountain.

They were none other than the Angel Clan's most monstrous Saintess—Xuan Zhixue, and the Sacred Dragon Dynasty's Crown Prince—Xiao Huohuo!

"Se... Senior, that heinous person... is very likely to have come here too. How about... we go find that person first?"

Xiao Huohuo swallowed hard and stuttered.

The reappearance of the Divine Forbidden Land had disturbed Xuan Zhixue.

It just so happened that he had found two God-Avoiding Pearls when he was searching for the crescent moon tomb key in the Xiahong Sea of Clouds.

It was precisely because of this that he and Xuan Zhixue were able to enter this Divine Forbidden Land.

Xuan Zhixue glanced indifferently at Xiao Huohuo behind her and said, "No rush. I, most of all, dislike owing people favors."

"Helping you suppress that person is to repay the favor of you rescuing me."

"And because of your God-Avoiding Pearls, I was able to enter this Divine Forbidden Land; that is also a favor."

"Therefore, I will first take you to find some Opportunities, and then I will suppress that person for you."

"In this way, we will be even."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huohuo was overjoyed.

He hadn't expected to encounter such a good thing on the way to suppressing Lin Ran.

If the Opportunity that Xuan Zhixue took him to find could restore his cultivation, then, when Xuan Zhixue suppressed Lin Ran, he would seize the moment and strike forcefully to kill Lin Ran!

Even if he might be killed by Xuan Zhixue afterwards, he would accept it.

His only goal in this life was to kill Lin Ran!!!

"I can feel that there is a great Opportunity in that ancient mountain."

Xuan Zhixue said without turning her head.

"I will listen to everything Senior says."

Xiao Huohuo lowered his eyes and nodded respectfully.

"Hmm."

Xuan Zhixue responded indifferently.

Before long, she led Xiao Huohuo deep into the ancient mountain, following a mysterious guidance, and walked forward.

"Swish!"

Just at this moment, a figure streaked across the sky above their heads at high speed, the wings behind them like clouds hanging from the sky, moving extremely fast.

But soon, that figure seemed to have discovered them, suddenly changed direction, and swooped down towards them.

Looking at the person approaching, Xiao Huohuo's eyes instantly turned scarlet, and Killing Intent and Evil Qi emerged and intertwined around his body, extremely chaotic and monstrous.

Xuan Zhixue turned her head indifferently to look at him and said, "Is this the Lin Ran you spoke of?"

"It's him! Even if he turned to ashes, I would be able to recognize him!"

Xiao Huohuo gritted his teeth tightly, saying with monstrous hatred.

Xuan Zhixue's expression was indifferent; she turned her head to look, her gaze fixed on Lin Ran.

To be honest, her first impression upon seeing Lin Ran made her feel that he was a celestial being.

Wearing a snowy white robe, his temperament was transcendent and untainted by the world.

His celestial face was peerless, and his skin seemed to be carved from the finest warm jade in the world.

Especially the faint aura emanating from Lin Ran's body, which seemed to be infiltrating her Physical Body in every possible way, making her feel an inexplicable sensation in her heart involuntarily.

Such an exiled immortal should not be the "heinous person" that Xiao Huohuo described.

Seeing that Xuan Zhixue was observing him, Lin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Xuan Zhixue up and down.

Xuan Zhixue was dressed in a snowy white dress, her whole body exuding a biting cold fragrance, like a winter plum standing proudly in the cold wind.

On her small, delicate oval face, her brows and eyes were like a painting, her pupils were like ice crystals and jade, and her skin was like congealed fat, delicate enough to be broken by a blow.

Her nose was high and straight, her lips red and teeth white, and her dark hair cascaded like a waterfall down to her slender waist that could not be grasped by a single hand.

Below her flawless snowy neck was a pair of surging waves, rising and falling rhythmically with her breathing.

A pair of long, straight, fair jade feet made her look very tall and flawless.

The most striking thing was the six pairs of wings behind her.

The wings were like white clouds in the sky, yet even whiter and more beautiful than the clean snow on the ground.

She was too holy, as if she were the only touch of white in the world, untainted by any dust.

This holiness made it impossible for anyone facing her to harbor the slightest thought of blasphemy.

It was as if in front of her, all filth would have nowhere to hide and would be purified into nothingness.

Lin Ran withdrew his gaze, but there was still a trace of shock in his eyes.

Such a holy woman gave him the feeling that she should not appear in this mortal world.

"This appearance... why does it look a bit like the legendary angels?"

"Could it be that the Angel Clan exists within the Zhangming Emperor Realm? Or perhaps, this woman comes from the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm?"

Lin Ran pondered secretly.

"Lin! Ran!!!"

Xiao Huohuo's eyes were splitting, and he was trembling all over with anger.

Lin Ran looked at Xiao Huohuo and smiled disdainfully: "Xiao Huohuo, you have indeed brought me another surprise."

"The first time we met, you brought me the Holy Dragon Bloodline and the saint dragon reverse scale."

"The second time we met, you brought me the Origin of the Shadow Dark Divine Body Physique."

"This time we meet, you have brought me such a stunningly beautiful angel."

"Tell me, how should This Holy Son thank you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huohuo almost passed out from anger.

Watching Lin Ran recount his experiences of suffering defeat time and time again as if they were treasures, he could no longer endure it. Rage instantly rushed to his head, and he threw himself at Lin Ran recklessly.

"Ridiculous!"

A cold smile curled on the corner of Lin Ran's mouth as he activated 1,900 yin-yang primordial ancestor dragon scales, slapping them towards Xiao Huohuo.

"You cannot kill him!"

Xuan Zhixue frowned, her palm surging with mana, colliding with Lin Ran's attack.

Her thoughts were simple: she still owed Xiao Huohuo two favors, so naturally, she could not watch Lin Ran kill Xiao Huohuo.

However, once she repaid Xiao Huohuo's two favors and was even with him from then on.

Then, whether Xiao Huohuo lived or died would be none of her concern.

After all, although she was holy, she was not some Saint or "Holy Mother" who would care about the life or death of irrelevant people.

"Boom!"

Lin Ran's giant mana palm collided with Xuan Zhixue's giant mana palm, but the result was shocking.

Lin Ran did not retreat even half a step, while Xuan Zhixue, unable to withstand this great force, had her graceful body retreating again and again.

"You still dare to protect him? Die!"

Lin Ran snorted coldly, cast a finger, a Heavenly God phantom appeared behind him, and reached out a finger towards Xiao Huohuo.

"Splat!"

Instantly!

As a cloud of blood mist appeared, the "Reborn Great Emperor"—Xiao Huohuo, died and his soul dissipated right there!
