239: Chapter 239 Blood Pattern Descends, Soon to Assault on Baiyujing!

Li Wuqing's expression was incredibly excited, his face beaming with joy.

The Demon Dragon had died, and the heavy burden that had been pressing down on their Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty had finally vanished at this moment.

After all, the Seven Swords of Heaven Burial could not suppress the Demon Dragon for long, and furthermore, this Demon Dragon had already stepped into the Seven-Star Divine Realm; once it broke the seal, it would surely cause a catastrophe!

If not for Lin Ran being here today, the Demon Dragon would likely have rampaged across the world!

Even because of the feud between Li Nian'en and the Demon Dragon, the first thing the Demon Dragon would have destroyed upon emerging was the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty!

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Lin Ran had bestowed a rebirth upon the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty!!

"Rumble!"

In the firmament, a rift suddenly tore open, and a giant hand reached out from within.

The giant hand's target was precisely the corpse of the Demon Dragon!

The Demon Dragon had stepped into the Seven-Star Divine Realm; even in death, it was of immeasurable value!

Therefore, it was normal for it to attract competition from powerful experts.

"Presumptuous!"

"Audacious!"

Su Xiyue and Li Wuqing's expressions turned cold instantly, and they swung their swords in unison, slashing toward the giant hand.

This was the Demon Dragon that Lin Ran had worked so hard to slay; how could they let those high-and-mighty people reap the benefits for nothing?!

The magical giant hand was severed and turned into an illusion, and a magnificent, ancient voice drifted down from the sky.

"You can protect the Demon Dragon's corpse for a moment, but can you protect it for a lifetime?"

"This Demon Dragon corpse is not something you are capable of possessing!"

This voice sounded exasperated, clearly dissatisfied that Su Xiyue and Li Wuqing had severed his magical giant hand.

After all, he was a person from the White Jade Capital!

The White Jade Capital transcended the Zhangming Emperor Realm, and its status was above that of the Zhangming Emperor Realm.

Most people in the White Jade Capital were arrogant and looked down upon those in the Zhangming Emperor Realm.

In his view, for Su Xiyue and Li Wuqing to dare to block him from seizing the Demon Dragon corpse was to commit an act of rebellion!

"Hmph! Stay obediently in your world, and we shall not interfere with each other!"

"But if you dare to set your sights on my disciple, I will kill every single one who comes!"

Su Xiyue snorted coldly.

"Rumble!"

Suddenly, the sky became covered in dark clouds, scarlet lightning flickered within, and terrifying Dao rules spread throughout.

These Dao rules intertwined with the scarlet lightning, forming a rune.

It was strikingly the character for "Sin"!

This "Sin" rune rushed purposefully toward Lin Ran, as if it wanted to brand itself into Lin Ran's bones and blood.

Su Xiyue and Li Wuqing naturally would not stand idly by; they both unleashed divine arts, slashing toward the "Sin" rune.

However, this was a rune condensed from Dao rules, further imbued with the power of the world's laws; it was not something Su Xiyue and Li Wuqing could withstand.

The "Sin" rune passed through layers of obstacles, submerged into Lin Ran's glabella, and branded itself onto his Divine Soul.

"Hahaha... It is the blood mark!"

"This brat killed someone from my White Jade Capital, inciting the wrath of my White Jade Capital; this brat will surely die!"

"You cannot protect him!!!"

In the firmament, an arrogant voice echoed between heaven and earth, full of triumph.

"Dammit!!"

Su Xiyue and Li Wuqing's faces looked incredibly ugly, roars interweaving in their eyes; they wished they could raise their swords and kill their way to the White Jade Capital right now.

However, Lin Ran was calm and composed, not taking this matter to heart at all.

Long Ling flew over at this moment, first affectionately rubbing against his face, then staring straight at the Demon Dragon corpse with longing eyes.

"Long Ling, go, swallow that Demon Dragon corpse."

Lin Ran patted Long Ling's head and smiled.

Long Ling understood Lin Ran's words and flew joyfully toward the Demon Dragon corpse.

Lin Ran looked up at the firmament and said indifferently:

"Who said we were going to carry this Demon Dragon corpse with us forever?"

"We understand the principle that 'an innocent man is innocent, but his treasure makes him a criminal'; there is no need for you, Senior, to worry."

"Furthermore, you people of the White Jade Capital pride yourselves on being high and mighty, looking down on everyone, and are extremely arrogant."

"In a few days, This Holy Son will personally head to your White Jade Capital. At that time, I will let the young Prodigies of your White Jade Capital remember well: whoever dares to offend This Holy Son will suffer Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, and there will be no more path of Reincarnation for them in this world!"

Once these words were spoken, the world fell silent.

After a long while, a voice drifted down from the sky.

"Hmph! Arrogant! Bearing the blood mark, and you dare to come to my White Jade Capital?"

"If you dare to come, I will ensure you never return!"

Lin Ran's mouth curled into a cold sneer: "You are nothing but a group of rats hiding in the sewers, priding yourselves on being high and mighty, when in reality, you are all just a bunch of petty thieves!"

"If you truly have the ability, then show yourself. What is the point of hiding your head and showing your tail?"

"In my opinion, if the White Jade Capital is full of cowards like you, it would be better to just destroy it!"

"I hope your strength matches your sharp tongue!"

After dropping this sentence, the person from the White Jade Capital was angered away.

Su Xiyue did not care about the White Jade Capital; she looked at Lin Ran with a worried face and said:

"Rebellious Disciple, how could you kill someone from the White Jade Capital?"

"Even if you had just crippled them, that would have been fine; there was no need to kill them."

"Once the blood mark is planted, it is very difficult to erase, and the people of the White Jade Capital will hunt you down based on the aura of the blood mark. No matter where you flee to the ends of the earth, it will be useless!"

Killing someone from the White Jade Capital was a great taboo. Even if people from the White Jade Capital descended to the Zhangming Emperor Realm and provoked forces in the Zhangming Emperor Realm, they would at most be crippled; they were rarely killed.

Because once a person from the White Jade Capital was killed, the blood mark would descend, and the forces in the White Jade Capital would spare no effort to hunt down the person bearing the blood mark.

Therefore, it was generally very difficult for a person bearing the blood mark to survive.

"Revered Master, I did not know at the time that killing someone from the White Jade Capital would summon the blood mark."

"However, even if I had known, I still would have killed them."

"Because I am the Holy Son of the Flying Immortal Sect, the face of the Sect, and the representative of the younger generation."

"If even I were to act timidly, then what kind of Holy Son of the Flying Immortal Sect would I be?"

"Those of us who cultivate the Dao compete with this Heaven and this Earth. If even a small White Jade Capital can block my path of Dao advancement, then it simply means my Dao was meant to end there."

Lin Ran shook his head and said.

He had never taken the White Jade Capital seriously; even if it meant bearing the blood mark, he did not care at all.

His divine path had not been severed. Once he achieved a Breakthrough to the Heavenly Palace Realm...

No!

As long as he achieved a Breakthrough to the Divine Bridge Realm, at that time, perhaps he would be able to view the Heavenly Palace as nothing more than ants!

By then, would the mere White Jade Capital be able to do anything to him?!

"Rebellious Disciple..."

Su Xiyue sighed and gently tapped Lin Ran's forehead.

Immediately, her gaze became firm, and she said with intense Killing Intent:

"However, what does the blood mark matter? And what is the White Jade Capital?"

"Rebellious Disciple, as long as your Revered Master is here, from now on, no one will be able to bully you!"

"If the people of the White Jade Capital dare to touch you, your Revered Master will slaughter her way to the White Jade Capital; I do not mind turning it upside down!"
