255: Chapter 255 Jiang Yunxian, with her domineering and protective nature, enters Spirit Sword Mountain!

That familiar white clothing, that transcendent and peerless fairy-like face—there was absolutely no mistake; it was the Holy Son of the Flying Immortal Sect who had been the talk of the Zhangming Emperor Realm—Lin Ran!

It was that very Lin Ran who had slaughtered the Goddess of the Howling Moon Fox Clan, Su Qingyi, as well as the Second Young Master of their Nangong Family, Nangong Changsu!

Even if Lin Ran turned to ash, their Nangong Family would still be able to recognize him!!

Nangong Xin's expression stiffened for a moment, his gaze flickering uncertainly.

To be honest, he really wanted to make a move now and slaughter Lin Ran.

But unfortunately, he had not expected that Lin Ran would actually have a connection with the Kunlun Sect, and even more surprisingly, was hiding behind Jiang Yunxian.

If he dared to act rashly, not to mention whether he could successfully slaughter Lin Ran, he would definitely die.

He glanced at the other clan elders beside him and discovered that everyone else had also noticed Lin Ran.

Nangong Xin pondered for a moment, then squeezed a smile onto his face and said:

"Sect Leader Jiang, we people of the White Jade Capital are high and above, the True Gods in the clouds admired by those of the Lower Realm. I wonder if this is correct?"

Jiang Yunxian's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, but she did not speak.

Seeing this, Nangong Xin continued: "Even our Heavenly Dao believes this to be the case; otherwise, it would not have cast blood marks upon those from the Lower Realm who slaughtered people from our White Jade Capital."

"It can be said that those who bear a blood mark are enemies of our White Jade Capital and the common enemy of our seventeen major factions."

"I believe Sect Leader Jiang should also agree with this, right?"

A terrifying murderous intent erupted from the depths of Jiang Yunxian's eyes.

Lin Ran also understood; Nangong Xin had recognized him, which was why he deliberately said these words in front of Jiang Yunxian.

His goal was, first, to use the high and mighty status of the people of the White Jade Capital to persuade Jiang Yunxian not to get involved with him, a person from the Lower Realm.

Immediately after, he used the fact that those bearing blood marks were the common enemies of the seventeen major factions to threaten Jiang Yunxian not to get involved with him.

It had to be said that these words from Nangong were watertight and left no gaps.

If it were someone who didn't understand the situation, they would probably think that Nangong Xin was just chatting with Jiang Yunxian about ordinary matters and would never understand the deeper meaning behind it.

After a long silence, Jiang Yunxian spoke:

"People of the White Jade Capital are high and above, that is indeed true. But this is the public's perception; some people may not think so."

"As for the blood mark, that is even more ridiculous. Are kings and nobles born with high status?"

"Why is it that when people of the White Jade Capital kill those of the Zhangming Emperor Realm, they can remain unscathed, but when those of the Zhangming Emperor Realm kill people of the White Jade Capital, they must suffer divine punishment?"

"I believe this is improper. Although our White Jade Capital is strong, the Zhangming Emperor Realm is not weak either. If deep resentment builds up between the White Jade Capital and the Zhangming Emperor Realm because of the blood mark issue, I fear both sides will suffer."

As she spoke, Jiang Yunxian suddenly smiled, pulled Lin Ran from behind her into her embrace, and said:

"In addition, let me introduce him to everyone. This person is named Lin Ran, my Senior Martial Nephew."

"I heard that in the Zhangming Emperor Realm, he slaughtered people of the White Jade Capital? But look, does he have the aura of a blood mark on him?"

"I, however, feel that everyone has misunderstood my Martial Nephew. Perhaps he just killed a few beasts from the White Jade Capital?"

"Have you ever heard of anyone from the Zhangming Emperor Realm being struck by divine punishment for slaughtering beasts living in the White Jade Capital?"

Hearing these words, Lin Ran sighed in admiration in his heart.

Jiang Yunxian was truly Jiang Yunxian; no wonder she was able to become the Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sect.

These words were domineering and leaked charisma; she was firmly backing him!

The Nangong Family naturally knew that he had slaughtered Nangong Changsu and the others.

But Jiang Yunxian said he had only slaughtered a few beasts. Wasn't that saying that Nangong Changsu and the others were just a few insignificant beasts?!

These words were completely intended to antagonize the Nangong Family, completely intended to humiliate the Nangong Family!

But Jiang Yunxian still said it, completely disregarding the face of the Nangong Family, just to domineeringly protect him.

This boldness, this determination to be protective—he absolutely loved it!!

Before, in the Zhangming Emperor Realm, it was always him backing others; he didn't expect that just after arriving at the White Jade Capital, he would have someone backing him.

This is truly how the tides turn; the feeling of having a backer is just so wonderful!

"Senior Martial Uncle, they all say I killed people from the White Jade Capital, but I clearly only killed a few beasts. They are slandering your Martial Nephew!"

"Your Martial Nephew doesn't even have the aura of a blood mark on him, how could they do that?"

Lin Ran lay in Jiang Yunxian's embrace, feigning a pitiful expression, and took the Opportunity to rub against that magnificent, fragrant bosom.

"Be good~ Senior Martial Uncle naturally believes you. Besides..."

Jiang Yunxian changed the subject, suddenly leaned into Lin Ran's ear, and with a voice only the two of them could hear, said with a smile that hid a knife:

"If you dare to rub against me again, Senior Martial Uncle will kill you~"

"Little Linzi, be good~"

Once these words were spoken, Lin Ran was immediately startled and didn't dare to make any other small movements.

The expressions of the Nangong clan elders turned extremely gloomy. Watching Lin Ran and Jiang Yunxian singing in harmony, the anger in their hearts was about to erupt like a volcanic eruption!

Right in front of them, insulting the Second Young Master of their Nangong Family as a beast—this was not just insulting the deceased Nangong Changsu, but also insulting their Nangong Family!!

But they did not expect that the current Lin Ran indeed no longer had the aura of a blood mark on him.

This was simply too magical!

Clearly, when in the Zhangming Emperor Realm, Lin Ran still had the aura of a blood mark on him.

But after arriving at the White Jade Capital, the blood mark aura on Lin Ran had disappeared. This left them like a mute eating coptis—unable to speak of their bitterness.

They naturally did not know that Lin Ran was wearing Jiang Yunxian's intimate gauze garment underneath, which masked the aura of the blood mark.

"Do you all have any other objections? If not, my Martial Nephew will enter Spirit Sword Mountain to compete for the Opportunity."

Jiang Yunxian said calmly.

Nangong Xin's expression changed.

He really wanted to block Lin Ran from entering, but he was afraid of provoking Jiang Yunxian.

After all, the Kunlun Sect was the number one force in the White Jade Capital; if they offended Jiang Yunxian, their Nangong Family would not benefit from it.

"Since Sect Leader Jiang has spoken, we naturally have no objections. Your sect's Disciple, please."

Nangong Xin barely squeezed out a smile and said.

Lin Ran finally broke away from Jiang Yunxian's embrace, entered Spirit Sword Mountain with his head held high, and when passing by Nangong Xin and the others, he even gave a smug snort.

Nangong Xin and the others were so angry that they gritted their teeth, almost breaking their back molars.

If it weren't for Jiang Yunxian being here, their Nangong Family would have long ago hacked Lin Ran into eight pieces!

How could they allow Lin Ran to act so presumptuously here?!

True Disciple Jian Wuhen and the others also followed into Spirit Sword Mountain.

After entering Spirit Sword Mountain, Lin Ran hurried towards the location of the sword immortal stele without stopping, while simultaneously activating his Yin-Yang Innate Dao Eyes to scan his surroundings.

He knew that in this Spirit Sword Mountain, there must be many young Prodigies of the Nangong Family!
