220: Chapter 220 A Choice That Didn't Go Against Their Principles—Was There a Traitor Among Them?!

That graceful figure wore a snow-white dress, with nine pure white fox tails swaying in the air behind her, making her entire presence appear extremely enchanting and seductive.

It was undoubtedly Su Qingyi, the Goddess of the Howling Moon Fox Clan.

As for the young prodigies beside her, they should be the ones from the White Jade Capital that Su Yuling had mentioned to him via transmission!

Among them, the sword-bearing youth with the highest cultivation and the strongest sense of pressure should be the Second Young Master of the Nangong Family—Nangong Changsu!

At this moment, this group of people was completely hidden in the void, concealing their figures and Auras.

However, before the Yin-Yang Innate Dao Eyes, everything was laid bare.

"Crescent Moon God Slaying Sword Technique!"

Lin Ran summoned the dark devouring sword and slashed out. A crescent moon phenomenon was reflected in the sky as lunar qi and Sword Qi intertwined and surged downward with immense power.

In front of the cave, within the void.

Nangong Changsu had just sensed a gaze watching him in the shadows. As soon as he looked up, he saw a divine technique carrying extreme killing intent striking toward them.

"Sword Falls Without Dust!"

The hairs on Nangong Changsu's back instantly stood on end. He summoned his personal sword and unleashed his Origin Divine Ability.

He possessed an Intermediate Godly Body—the Dustless Sword Heart—and was at the Yang Venerable Realm Ninth Heaven. Combined with being from the Nangong Family, known as the Sword God Family of the White Jade Capital, the power of his Origin Divine Ability unleashed through his sword was terrifyingly formidable.

The speed of this sword strike was like a bolt of lightning, occurring in a flash. It seemed to strike in an instant, so fast that even the dust in the air had no chance to settle on the blade.

As the saying goes, speed is power. Under such extreme and terrifying speed, the might of this sword strike was equally remarkable.

However, before the Crescent Moon God Slaying Sword Technique, even a deity would have to step aside, let alone Nangong Changsu?!

"Pfft!"

The Crescent Moon God Slaying Sword Technique easily annihilated Nangong Changsu's Origin Divine Ability. The lunar qi and Sword Qi swept through, sending Nangong Changsu flying and heavily wounding him with ease. He coughed up a large mouthful of blood, his body covered in sword wounds.

"Damn it! Who dares to sneak attack my Nangong Family?!"

The other young prodigies of the Nangong Family snapped back to their senses. They drew their swords and looked toward the sky, their eyes wide with rage and their Auras intimidating.

"This matter is a grudge between me and the Goddess of the Howling Moon Fox Clan. Those who do not wish to die can get lost now."

Lin Ran appeared leisurely, not taking the group of Nangong Family prodigies seriously at all.

He fixed his gaze on Su Qingyi, and his eyes couldn't help but daze for a moment.

It had to be said that Su Qingyi was indeed extraordinarily beautiful and enchantingly moving.

She had an exquisite and pretty oval face, willow-leaf brows, and peach blossom eyes. Her pupils were like shimmering black obsidian, seductive and alluring.

Her skin was cold and white as snow, seemingly breakable with a touch, and her lips were naturally red without any makeup.

A few strands of smooth, bright black hair fell over her surging, heaving chest, rising and falling with her breath.

Those straight, slender, and flawlessly white jade-like legs further accentuated her slender waist, making her look pitiable and moving.

The nine swaying fox tails added a touch of seductive charm to her.

Even Lin Ran couldn't help but be momentarily dazed by the sight, but he quickly regained his composure.

[Ding! Detected that the Host has triggered a new Heavenly Mandate Mission. Please make the following choice!]

[Option 1: To dare frame This Son of Heavenly Mandate's Master Baby—no matter how beautiful you are, you cannot escape death!]

[Mission: Destroy the flower with a ruthless hand, kill Su Qingyi!]

[Reward: 25,000 destiny points, one "Master-Con" halo!]

[Option 2: Such a beauty would be a pity to kill. Let This Son of Heavenly Mandate conquer her!]

[Mission: Put aside past grievances and conquer Su Qingyi!]

[Reward: one mysterious gift pack!]

Looking at the two mission options provided by the System, the corners of Lin Ran's mouth curled up slightly. Without any hesitation, he thought, "I choose Option 1!"

Although he loved beauty and the mysterious gift pack, not just any beauty could catch his eye, and he wouldn't easily make a decision for Su Xiyue just for a gift package.

During the days he shared a bed with Su Xiyue, he naturally knew of her hatred for the Goddess of the Howling Moon Fox Clan.

If not for the Howling Moon Fox Goddess, Su Xiyue would likely have already broken through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

For Su Xiyue, he loved what she loved and hated what she hated.

If he chose Option 2 and took it upon himself to decide for Su Xiyue for the sake of a gift package, making her reconcile with Su Qingyi and become sisters...

Then that would violate his heart.

In his heart, Master Baby was the absolute supreme and only one; no one could replace her!

Simply put, he was a "Master-Con"!

As long as he was there, no one in the world could touch Su Xiyue!

Seeing Lin Ran point his spear at her, Su Qingyi's expression became extremely unsightly.

"You... you are the one who claimed you would kill me back at the Heavenly Sound Tower, and who has now become the Dragon Commander of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty?!"

Lin Ran's strength had indeed exceeded her expectations; she hadn't expected him to be able to heavily wound Nangong Changsu with a single sword strike.

One must know that as the Second Young Master of the Nangong Family and possessing an Intermediate Godly Body, Nangong Changsu's strength was naturally not weak.

Even for her, wanting to heavily wound Nangong Changsu in one move was somewhat like a fantasy.

From this, it could be seen that Lin Ran's strength might be above hers!

Just as Su Qingyi finished speaking, Su Yuling walked slowly toward Lin Ran.

"Master, Yuling has accomplished the task you assigned."

Su Yuling stood before Lin Ran with downcast eyes, her gaze filled with deep admiration and fanaticism.

Her mental fortitude was not as firm as Xuan Zhixue's. Under the influence of the dao heart demon seed, Lin Ran had long since become the only Supreme God in her heart!

Now, in her heart, there was only blind, fanatical worship and love for Lin Ran!

"Mhm, you did very well."

Lin Ran's expression was calm as he ruffled the top of Su Yuling's head.

"Doing things for Master is the greatest happiness of Yuling's life!"

Su Yuling gently held Lin Ran's right hand with both of hers, the fanaticism in her eyes even giving Lin Ran quite a start.

He knew the dao heart demon seed was overbearing and powerful, but he hadn't expected it to be this extreme.

Look at what Su Yuling had been conditioned into!

"Bitch! You... you dare to betray the Howling Moon Fox Clan?!"

Seeing this scene, Su Qingyi's beautiful eyes spat fire, her eyes nearly splitting with rage, wishing she could tear Su Yuling to pieces.

She had wondered why Lin Ran was able to locate them so accurately in this vast Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury; it turned out there was a traitor among them!!

And this traitor was the Saintess of their Howling Moon Fox Clan's branch—Su Yuling!!

"Good, very good! Your Howling Moon Fox Clan really knows how to cultivate young prodigies!"

Nangong Changsu said with cold eyes.

Even after being heavily wounded by Lin Ran's sword, he still maintained the arrogance of being a young Prodigy from the White Jade Capital.

His disdainful nature toward the young prodigies of the Zhangming Emperor Realm seemed to be carved into his very bones.
