303: Chapter 303 Exchanging the Destiny Stele, Lin Ran Wants to See Ji Qingyan's Face

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran could not help but be stunned.

Bai Yuanrou wanted to trade the heavenly mandate stele with him for the dark devouring sword?!

One had to know that the heavenly mandate stele was a symbol of a faction and represented a World Walker.

Even when the previous World Walker of the Kunlun Sect lost the heavenly mandate stele, it was Jiang Yunxian who had paid a huge price to successfully redeem it, which showed the importance of the heavenly mandate stele.

For Bai Yuanrou to use the heavenly mandate stele to trade for the dark devouring sword, anyone else probably wouldn't do such a thing.

"Is the dark devouring sword that important to you? To the point that you would spare no cost to exchange it with the heavenly mandate stele?" Lin Ran raised an eyebrow and said.

"It is not just important, it is extremely important!"

"He once said that he would use this sword to devour all the darkness in my life, so he named this sword the dark devouring sword."

"Now that he is no longer here, if I have the dark devouring sword by my side, I can at least... have something to remember him by."

Bai Yuanrou's gaze fell into deep reminiscence, revealing endless longing, pain, and unspeakable regret.

"The heavenly mandate stele is not your exclusive property; ask your Tower Master and see if she agrees to this matter," Lin Ran said indifferently.

Although the heavenly mandate stele was a symbol of a World Walker, it was not the exclusive property of the walker, but rather bestowed by the leader of the faction.

As long as the faction leader wanted to, they could take back the heavenly mandate stele at any time.

Therefore, even if Bai Yuanrou wanted to trade the heavenly mandate stele for the dark devouring sword, if Ji Qingyan did not allow it, then this exchange would naturally be void.

"Tower Master..." Bai Yuanrou immediately looked at Ji Qingyan, the plea and supplication in her eyes evident.

Ji Qingyan remained silent, her pupils beneath the mask flickering slightly.

Suddenly, she looked at Bai Yuanrou and opened her red lips slightly: "Yuanrou, have you ever regretted it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Yuanrou's tears fell like beads from a broken string, her face bathed in tears like pear blossoms in the rain.

"I regret it, Yuanrou regrets it! I shouldn't have... If I had known back then that it was the last time I would see him, I shouldn't have left. I should have died with him, I should have been buried with him."

"Those things, he didn't have time to do, and I didn't have time to do either, but it is all too late..."

Bai Yuanrou covered her face and wept bitterly, looking pitiful enough to move the heavens.

Seeing this, Lin Ran understood that there must be a significant connection between that Headless Corpse and Bai Yuanrou.

Ji Qingyan sighed: "Yes, saying these things now is indeed too late for everything."

"Take out the heavenly mandate stele and trade it with the Banished Sword Immortal for the dark devouring sword."

Bai Yuanrou nodded while weeping, took out the heavenly mandate stele, and handed it to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran accepted the heavenly mandate stele and handed the dark devouring sword to Bai Yuanrou.

Although the dark devouring sword was of extraordinary quality, it was dispensable to him.

The immortal suppressing demon sword was more than a hundred times stronger than the dark devouring sword.

Trading the dark devouring sword for the heavenly mandate stele, no matter how one looked at it, Lin Ran had made a huge profit.

"Thank you, Tower Master, thank you, Banished Sword Immortal." Bai Yuanrou clutched the dark devouring sword in her hand tightly and thanked them while crying.

"Tower Master, this..." Zhou Yumo watched this scene from the side, anxious beyond measure.

Were they messing with her?! Trading the heavenly mandate stele for the dark devouring sword? Wasn't this a huge loss?!

Their Wuyou Tower Master was stubborn, and the Goddess was foolish; what was even going on?!

It would be one thing for the Goddess to be foolish, but why was the Tower Master acting foolishly along with her?!

"Alright, stop talking so much. What is the use of a mere heavenly mandate stele? It will only bring trouble to Yuanrou."

"Giving the heavenly mandate stele to the Banished Sword Immortal will save us a lot of trouble, and we can also go with the flow and do a favor; why not?" Ji Qingyan said in a gentle tone.

Zhou Yumo sighed and said angrily: "Fine, you are the Tower Master, whatever you say goes!"

Ji Qingyan chuckled and rubbed Zhou Yumo's head.

"Tower Master Ji, aren't you going to destroy the Nangong Family? It just so happens that This Holy Son will accompany you." Lin Ran said indifferently with his hands behind his back.

"How is this, is the Banished Sword Immortal planning to help me?" Ji Qingyan blinked her innocent eyes.

Lin Ran pondered for a moment, then smirked: "I do intend to help you, but there is a condition."

"Please speak, Banished Sword Immortal."

"I hear from the people of the world that Tower Master Ji is the number one beauty in White Jade Capital, and your appearance is enough to kill."

"Therefore, This Holy Son is itching with curiosity and would like to witness Tower Master Ji's beauty that is enough to kill," Lin Ran said with a smile.

Ji Qingyan's gaze tightened, and her tone became somewhat heavy: "This... I wonder if the Banished Sword Immortal could change the request?"

Zhou Yumo also chimed in from the side: "Yes, Banished Sword Immortal, the reason our Tower Master wears a mask is because she does not want to commit innocent slaughter. Once upon a time, there were indeed many men who died because of our Tower Master's beauty."

Upon hearing this, the interest in Lin Ran's heart was piqued even more: "Hearing you say that, This Holy Son is even more curious about what kind of peerless face is hidden beneath Tower Master Ji's mask."

"You don't have to worry about This Holy Son being unable to resist such beauty; in this world, there is nothing that can kill This Holy Son."

"It was so in the past, it is so now, and it will be so in the future!"

Looking at such domineering words, even Ji Qingyan, who was accustomed to storms and waves, could not help but click her tongue.

Too arrogant! Lin Ran was simply too arrogant!

He actually dared to spout such nonsense, saying that there was nothing in this world that could kill him. Did he not know that there are always people above people, and heavens beyond heavens?

However, upon thinking about it carefully, Lin Ran was actually quite restrained.

If it were any other young Prodigy at Lin Ran's age who had reached Lin Ran's height, they would likely be even more arrogant!

"Since the Banished Sword Immortal has this confidence, what would it matter to let you take a look at my appearance?"

"I promise you, as long as you and I join forces to destroy the Nangong Family, my appearance can be viewed by the Banished Sword Immortal to your heart's content, how about that?" Ji Qingyan smiled.

"Can I really view it to my heart's content?" Lin Ran asked with a smirk.

Ji Qingyan nodded in agreement.

"Fine, let's set off now!" Lin Ran decided decisively.

He admitted that he was indeed very curious about Ji Qingyan's appearance.

If he couldn't see Ji Qingyan's face, it would be like a thorn stuck in his heart, making him feel completely uncomfortable!

The Dragon Spirit's body grew larger, carrying the three of them—Lin Ran, Meng Qing, and Su Xiyue.

As for Ji Qingyan, she mobilized the female army belonging exclusively to Wuyou Tower, riding on one after another of the tower ships, and headed towards the Nangong Family in Jianxiao City.

In the battle at Wuyou Tower just now, the elders and experts of the Nangong Family had suffered countless casualties, and even Nangong Fusu had perished.

The entire Nangong Family could be said to have suffered heavy losses and were severely weakened.

This was also the reason why Ji Qingyan wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the Nangong Family.

After all, one should strike while the enemy is weak.

Moreover, in the Nangong Family, almost the vast majority of people were complete scum, acting in perverse and evil ways.

Even if the Nangong Family were destroyed, presumably the people of the world would not say anything.
