278: Chapter 278 Reclaiming the Nine Spirits Desolate Sacred Tower and Leaving the Demon Realm!

The Red-beaked Giant Vulture had a resentful expression, slumped on the ground and panting heavily.

Hearing this, the Four-Winged Ink Tiger became displeased on the spot.

“When I was killing that brat, I didn't see you step in to stop me! What, are you blaming me now?!”

The Red-beaked Giant Vulture kicked its legs, performed an aerial rotation, and landed steadily, saying:

“Isn't it because you, you Tiger-brained idiot, were too fast? Who the hell could have stopped you?!”

“Are you saying you're just trash and couldn't react to my killing move?!”

The Four-Winged Ink Tiger also climbed to its feet, its tiger eyes glaring like red moons at the Red-beaked Giant Vulture.

They were Bizarre Dao Creatures, and their only way to evolve was to devour their own kind.

The more Qi of the Wicked Dao they had in their bodies, the stronger their cultivation became.

So, they actually craved a hearty slaughter so they could devour the other.

But they didn't dare, because there were other Bizarre Dao Creatures with Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Palace Realm cultivation here.

If it and the Red-beaked Giant Vulture fought like the snipe and the clam, the final outcome would surely be the fisherman reaping the benefits!

“Buzz!”

At that moment, the entire nine spirits desolate saint pagoda burst forth with brilliant radiance.

In the next second, it turned into a streak of light, and with lightning speed, it vanished from the sight of the Bizarre Dao Creatures in an instant.

For a moment, the Bizarre Dao Creatures hadn't even reacted when the Red-beaked Giant Vulture let out a scream:

“Damn it! The pagoda is running away! Chase it!!!”

The Bizarre Dao Creatures finally snapped out of it, flying at full power and frantically chasing the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda.

It wasn't surprising they reacted so strongly; after all, that heaven and earth miracle medicine was still hidden inside the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda!

If the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda got away, wouldn't the heaven and earth miracle medicine they had been guarding so bitterly also be gone?!

On the other side.

Under Lin Ran's summons, the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda broke through layers of obstacles and was rushing toward Lin Ran's location at extreme speed.

“Oh? It's here so soon?”

Lin Ran felt it in his heart, his eyelids lifted slightly, and he slowly looked forward.

The nine spirits desolate saint pagoda, looking like a streak of light, swept in at high speed and came to a steady halt in front of him.

Lin Ran didn't hesitate for a moment and directly put away the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda.

As expected, things were developing exactly as he had predicted.

Zhou Zhili and Zhou Zhile covered for him, buying time to seize the heaven and earth miracle medicine.

Then he threw the heaven and earth miracle medicine into the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda, and used his own 'death' to dispel the suspicions of the Bizarre Dao Creatures.

Finally, after seizing the Opportunity from that scroll, he guessed that the Bizarre Dao Creatures would surely be exhausted from desperately trying to break open the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda to seize the miracle medicine.

At this time, calling back the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda was indeed the most appropriate choice.

“The 'local specialty' is here so soon? Unfortunately, you won't get the chance.”

Lin Ran looked at the Four-Winged Ink Tiger and other Bizarre Dao Creatures chasing rapidly from behind, his lips curling into a cold, playful smile.

He crushed the token, and ripples of space rippled around him as his figure instantly vanished.

“Boom!”

The Four-Winged Ink Tiger pounced forward in a rage, but it missed, its four claws slamming heavily onto the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

“Damn it! That brat got away!!”

The Four-Winged Ink Tiger said viciously, its dense Killing Intent almost solidifying into substance, terrifying to the soul.

“Didn't this brat die right before our eyes? Why is he alive again?!”

“Could all of this have been his setup? He even calculated his own death into the plan?!”

At this point, no matter how stupid the Red-beaked Giant Vulture was, it faintly guessed something.

From Lin Ran actively appearing to seize the heaven and earth miracle medicine and throwing it into the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda...

To his composure when facing them, and his total lack of fear of death.

Looking at it this way, Lin Ran must have some kind of secret technique that allows him to resurrect, which is why he dared to show himself!

And afterward, Lin Ran must have calculated that they would frantically bombard the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda for the miracle medicine, thus becoming exhausted.

Otherwise, they surely would have been able to catch up to the fleeing nine spirits desolate saint pagoda and capture Lin Ran again!

From beginning to end, they had been played by Lin Ran!

One could only say that this man, Lin Ran, was truly bold yet meticulous, leaving nothing to chance!

They had completely fallen, toyed with time and again by a young Prodigy with only Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivation!!

“Damned beast! If you ever dare to enter the Ghostly Domain again, we will skin you alive and tear you into ten thousand pieces!!”

Inside the vast Ghostly Domain, one roar after another echoed.

However, Lin Ran could no longer hear any of it.

He was leisurely returning to the Kunlun Dao Field with his harvest.

Upon seeing Lin Ran's return, the expressions of Su Xiyue and Meng Qing instantly softened, and the weight hanging in their hearts finally dropped.

Over the past few days, among the Kunlun Sect Disciples who entered the Ghostly Domain, people were constantly dying.

They were very afraid—afraid that Lin Ran was one of those fallen Disciples.

Fortunately, Lin Ran had finally returned.

In the depths of Jiang Yunxian's extremely calm eyes, a flash of relief and reassurance also flickered.

When Lin Ran entered the Ghostly Domain, her worry was no less than that of Su Xiyue and Meng Qing.

Of course, her worry for Lin Ran wasn't the worry of a Dao Companion like Su Xiyue and Meng Qing, but rather a fear that Lin Ran wouldn't be able to serve as the World Walker.

To be honest, she thought very highly of Lin Ran; in fact, among all the Disciples of the Kunlun Sect, he might be the only one she truly valued.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent Lin Ran to Spirit Sword Mountain in Jianxiao City to establish his prestige in the White Jade Capital for the first time.

Nor would she have "threatened" Lin Ran to absolutely become the World Walker!

“Lord Banished Sword Immortal, it's good that you're alright. You're finally back!”

Zhou Zhili ran over joyfully, looking at Lin Ran with an expression of adoration and admiration.

“Banished Sword Immortal, I wonder if that heaven and earth miracle medicine was obtained?”

A slight smile hung on Zhou Zhile's lips, and she felt a great sense of relief in her heart.

She and Zhou Zhili were indeed very worried about Lin Ran's safety; after all, those were a group of Bizarre Dao Creatures with Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Palace Realm cultivation!

Trying to seize a heaven and earth miracle medicine from their hands was even more dangerous than taking food from a tiger's mouth!

Even the most they could do for Lin Ran was just to delay things for a brief moment.

“Fortunately, I did not fail my mission!”

Lin Ran smiled slightly.

“If I hadn't been able to seize that heaven and earth miracle medicine, wouldn't I have wasted the kindness of you two?”

“That's great! I knew Lord Banished Sword Immortal could do it!!”

Zhou Zhili jumped up in excitement, her face flushed red, so thrilled that her delicate body trembled and felt weak.

Seizing a heaven and earth miracle medicine from a group of Bizarre Dao Creatures at the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Palace Realm...

Such a thing—let alone doing it—even thinking about it was something other young Prodigies wouldn't dare to do!

But Lin Ran not only thought of it, he did it, and he actually succeeded!

If it were anyone else, who could have accomplished this?!

Although they didn't know the details, they knew it must have been fraught with extreme danger!

If even one small detail had gone wrong, the outcome would surely have been disastrous!
