177: Chapter 177 A Clown Seeking Attention? The Seven Wonders of Music Display Their Power!

"You! You're looking for death!!!"

Su Yuling's beautiful eyes widened, and the killing intent radiating from her body almost solidified, making everyone present as silent as cicadas in winter.

Originally, for the sake of Lin Ran's immortal face, she could have spared his life, only needing to suppress him and make him her male plaything.

But now, Lin Ran had not only insulted her but also the Saintess of the Howling Moon Fox Clan!

What she cared about was not her clan's Saintess, but the honor of her clan!

Lin Ran already had a path to death!

Seeing that Su Yuling was about to take action, Gu Liuqin, who had been silent for a long time, opened her red lips and said:

"Sister Su, this is the Heavenly Sound Tower. Fighting is forbidden within the Heavenly Sound Tower. Please do not break the rules of the Heavenly Sound Tower."

"Hmph!"

Since Gu Liuqin had spoken, Su Yuling gave a cold snort and had no choice but to let it go for now.

Although the Cold Moon Pavilion was a power established by their Howling Moon Fox Clan, the pavilion only had a Great Emperor Expert presiding over it; they were not much stronger than the Heavenly Sound Tower.

Therefore, even though she was the Saintess of the Cold Moon Pavilion, she would not easily break the rules of the Heavenly Sound Tower.

"This Young Master, since you want to challenge me, please take your shot."

Gu Liuqin said with a smile.

"Oh? You're really letting me go first?"

Lin Ran's gaze was strange.

"What is it? Is there something inappropriate?"

Gu Liuqin asked in confusion.

Lin Ran shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm just afraid that if I go first, you won't have a chance to act."

After he finished speaking, the Heavenly Sound Tower fell into a dead silence once again.

Arrogant!

Ignorant!

This was the only thought in the minds of the young Prodigies at this moment.

Insulting Su Yuling and Su Qingyi was one thing, but Lin Ran actually said in front of Gu Liuqin that the famous Fairy Qin was inferior to himself.

In the younger generation of the entire Imperial Province, who would dare to claim first place in the Cultivation of the Sound Dao if Gu Liuqin claimed second?!

Lin Ran spoke so boastfully; was he not afraid of his tongue slipping?

When the boomerang hit back, perhaps Lin Ran would only then realize how much it hurt!

"I originally thought this person was just arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be a fool."

A sneer curled at the corner of Nie Feng's mouth, and his brow was full of playfulness.

Hearing this, Meng Qing swept a cold glance over, her pupils reflecting a scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, striking directly at Nie Feng's mind.

Nie Feng's face immediately turned pale and bloodless, and his Divine Soul trembled at this moment with unending terror.

It was not until Meng Qing withdrew her gaze that he dared to take a deep breath.

"Damn it!!"

Nie Feng's expression was extremely ugly; he had not expected to be scared like this by the gaze of a mere woman.

One must know that he was a follower of the Crown Prince; wherever he went, he was shrouded in thousands of halos, enjoying the feeling of being surrounded like a star by moons.

Being intimidated like this by Meng Qing was simply embarrassing for him!

"When the Divine Sound Gathering ends, I will definitely show you!!"

Nie Feng said viciously in his heart.

Gu Liuqin's expression was also somewhat displeased.

Even she felt that Lin Ran was being a bit too arrogant.

As the Saintess of the Heavenly Sound Tower, her attainments in the Sound Dao far exceeded those of other young Prodigies.

Lin Ran's words were a total denial of her attainments in the Sound Dao, which naturally made her unhappy and even a little bit spiteful.

"Young Master, no need for nonsense, just take your shot!"

"Liu Qin wants to see exactly how profound your attainments in the Sound Dao are!"

Gu Liuqin gave an angry huff and said.

Lin Ran shook his head slightly and sighed.

He had given good advice, but Gu Liuqin wouldn't listen, so there was nothing he could do.

"Fairy Qin, I do not have a zither-type Magic Treasure. I wonder if I could borrow yours for a use?"

Lin Ran said with his hands behind his back.

Hearing this, Gu Liuqin was almost laughed to fits by her anger.

He doesn't even have a fucking zither-type Magic Treasure, yet he dares to boastfully release such harsh words?!

Is this really a person who Cultivates the Sound Dao?

Could it be that Lin Ran is just here purely to look for fun?

"After all that, it turns out he's just a clowning attention-seeker!"

"Tch, I really thought he had some real ability. How boring!"

"Could this kind of person be trying to get famous by being notorious?"

The Prodigies whispered among themselves, their words full of mockery toward Lin Ran.

"Fine, I'll lend it to you!"

Gu Liuqin gave a wave of her hand, making her ancient zither fly toward Lin Ran.

She wanted to see whether Lin Ran really had true ability or if he was just a clowning attention-seeker!

"Thank you, Fairy Qin."

Lin Ran smiled slightly.

Using Gu Liuqin's ancient zither to defeat Gu Liuqin—it would probably make the latter die of anger, wouldn't it?

He shook his head, discarded the stray thoughts in his mind, sat upright before the ancient zither, placed both hands on the strings, and performed the top-tier divine technique—the Seven Absolute Arts of Music!

The Seven Absolute Arts of Music required a zither as a medium to be performed.

This zither-type Divine Ability had only seven divine sounds, and these seven divine sounds represented the seven emotions of living beings respectively.

With each divine sound that fell, all living beings would fall into an illusion of one emotion.

When all seven divine sounds had fallen, all living beings would fall into the seven illusions of joy, anger, worry, thought, grief, fear, and shock.

Lin Ran withdrew his hands and looked around, finding that the young Prodigies in the Heavenly Sound Tower had all fallen into the sevenfold illusion of the Seven Absolute Arts of Music.

Even Xuan Zhixue was no exception.

Only he and Meng Qing were unaffected, remaining calm and composed.

"Husband, I didn't expect your attainments in the Sound Dao to really be this high?"

Meng Qing's tongue clicked repeatedly in amazement.

She wanted to ask, is there anything in this world that Lin Ran doesn't know?!

Lin Ran glanced at her slightly and said: "If I didn't have such attainments in the 'Sound' Dao, how could your husband make you beg me every day?"

Meng Qing understood instantly, her face turning red in a flash as she bashfully punched Lin Ran's chest.

With Lin Ran's current cultivation performing the Seven Absolute Arts of Music, it was no simple matter for the Prodigies to struggle out of these sevenfold illusions.

Even Gu Liuqin, who had extremely high confidence in her Sound Dao attainments, took nearly several minutes to barely break free from the sevenfold illusion.

And in actual combat, if she were trapped in this sevenfold illusion for several minutes, she would probably be killed by her enemy!

As for the other young Prodigies, their attainments in the Sound Dao were inherently inferior to Gu Liuqin's, so the time it took for them to break free from the sevenfold illusion was naturally longer than hers.

At this moment, the gazes of the vast majority of the young Prodigies toward Lin Ran were full of shock and awe.

They had originally thought Lin Ran was just a clowning attention-seeker, but they hadn't expected him to really have such ability!

With just one zither-type Divine Ability, he had made them fall into an illusion for several minutes.

It could be said that if Lin Ran wanted to kill them, he could completely make them die and their Dao vanish without them even realizing it!

This was simply too terrifying!

The people who had mocked Lin Ran earlier shrunk their necks; at this moment, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear that Lin Ran would settle scores with them later!

However, what they didn't know was that Lin Ran had never placed them in his eyes from beginning to end.

Lin Ran said in a faint tone: "Fairy Qin, do you still wish to continue the contest with This Holy Son?"

The shock in Gu Liuqin's heart had not yet dissipated, and she only pursed her lips.
