346: Chapter 346 Lin Ran's Speculation: The Pursuit of Cui Wanjun and Others!

Lin Ran's figure flickered, and he lunged before Cui Wanjun, his right hand shooting out fiercely to grab him by the throat.

“Don't dare to show your true bodies? No matter, This Holy Son will find you personally. You had best wash your necks clean and wait for This Holy Son to come and harvest them!”

A wicked smile flashed across the corners of Lin Ran's mouth as he activated the Destiny Immortal Body, stripping away a sliver of destiny from Cui Wanjun's body.

His left hand formed a seal, and this wisp of destiny Qi transformed into a guiding thread, streaking toward the distance with extreme speed and vanishing in an instant.

“Lin... Ran!!”

“The Heavenly Dao... will not let you off!”

Cui Wanjun stared at Lin Ran with a sinister and vicious expression, wishing he could slice Lin Ran into a thousand pieces with his gaze.

“Heavenly Dao? Hah.”

That single “Hah” revealed the endless disdain within Lin Ran's heart.

If the Heavenly Dao truly had the ability, it would have manifested and personally acted to take his life long ago. Why bother with all these convoluted schemes?

Cui Wanjun using the Heavenly Dao to threaten him was simply a massive joke!

Lin Ran applied a bit more pressure with his right hand on Cui Wanjun's throat, and the latter's Physical Body was easily crushed by him.

“Phew—”

After exterminating the Dao bodies of Cui Wanjun, Kun Qingyu, Feng Chen, and Tian Wuleng, Lin Ran also exhaled a heavy breath of turbid air.

“The True Demon Eye is indeed powerful, and the Sun Moon Sinking Hundred Battles Realm is even more capable of suppressing heaven and earth!”

“However, that Devil Head's consciousness likely remains within the True Demon Eye. I must find a way to destroy the True Demon Eye!”

Lin Ran pondered secretly in his heart.

The Sun Moon Sinking Hundred Battles Realm was, after all, a Divine Ability born from the True Demon refining an entire world.

Within that realm, there were even seven Demon Sovereigns!

And the Sword Demon Emperor was one of those seven.

Moreover, though he didn't know if it was his imagination, that Sword Demon Emperor always gave him a feeling that it hadn't used its full strength.

But it also couldn't be ruled out that Lin Ran's current cultivation was too weak, making it difficult to unleash the full power of the Sun Moon Sinking Hundred Battles Realm.

“Hmph!”

A soft, dissatisfied snort suddenly sounded by Lin Ran's ear; it was Gu Qinglian's snort.

Lin Ran smiled slightly, naturally understanding what Gu Qinglian was dissatisfied about.

After all, he had said he would give the True Demon Eye to Gu Qinglian, but he hadn't expected that after everything, the True Demon Eye would return to his hands and undergo Fusion with his Physical Body instead of replacing his eyes.

As long as he wished, he could use the True Demon Eye at any time.

“Alright, don't be so dissatisfied anymore.”

“The True Demon's consciousness likely remains within the True Demon Eye. I still need to find a way to destroy it.”

Lin Ran thought to himself.

“Hmph! What a Blockhead Master!! Who told you that the True Demon's consciousness remains in the True Demon Eye?”

“At the very least, I haven't sensed any residual consciousness of that True Demon in the True Demon Eye!”

Gu Qinglian flew out from the immortal suppressing demon sword and sat on Lin Ran's shoulder.

Hearing these words, Lin Ran was slightly stunned, then said nonchalantly:

“Your cultivation isn't even as high as mine, what could you possibly sense?”

“Then you tell me, if the True Demon's consciousness doesn't remain in the True Demon Eye, where would it be?”

“You!!”

Gu Qinglian was so angry her chest heaved and her Phoenix eyes widened.

“I don't care! Anyway, that True Demon's consciousness is not in the True Demon Eye, you cannot destroy it!”

Gu Qinglian said huffily.

Lin Ran shook his head: “Protest denied. Now, you should honestly return to the immortal suppressing demon sword.”

He grabbed Gu Qinglian like a little chick and forcefully 'stuffed' her back into the immortal suppressing demon sword.

“You stupid Blockhead Master!!”

Gu Qinglian's delicate cursing sounded from within the immortal suppressing demon sword.

On the surface, Lin Ran seemed indifferent, but in truth, he had already become secretly vigilant.

If it were truly as Gu Qinglian said, and the True Demon's residual consciousness was not hidden in the True Demon Eye, then where would it be?

Lin Ran thought carefully, and suddenly, cold sweat broke out on his back.

He seemed... to have vaguely guessed something.

“Young Master, are you alright?”

Empress Yan Xin worriedly took hold of Lin Ran's right hand and asked with concern.

Lin Ran snapped back to his senses and shook his head slightly: “I'm fine. Yan Xin, take Yu Chanjuan and Bai Luo to start collecting the Tokens for the next Ancient Stars.”

“I need to head to the later Ancient Stars first to handle some matters.”

Yu Chanjuan seemed to have thought of something and said worriedly: “Husband, could it be that you want to...”

Lin Ran nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said:

“I have already used the destiny Qi from Cui Wanjun's body to find the location of their four true bodies.”

“Since they dared to plot against us like this from behind the scenes, they naturally must pay the corresponding price.”

“Young Master, they aren't dead yet?!”

Empress Yan Xin was startled and asked blankly.

She had clearly seen with her own eyes that Cui Wanjun's group of four had died at Lin Ran's hands, so why was Lin Ran going to find them now?!

Could it be that those four were just Dao bodies?

But that shouldn't be right; the aura of a Dao Body shouldn't be like that.

“Those were just their Heavenly Dao Incarnations. They likely borrowed the power of the Heavenly Dao to condense such perfect Dao bodies.”

“The strength of these perfect Dao bodies represents the strength of their original selves.”

“In other words, since I can kill their Dao bodies, I can kill them!”

Lin Ran's eyes were cold and indifferent.

Empress Yan Xin then came to a sudden realization and nodded slightly:

“Alright! Young Master, please be extremely careful. Once I finish collecting the Tokens with Yu Chanjuan and Bai Luo, we will go find you!”

Lin Ran nodded slightly, then looked toward the yin-yang spirit refining great furnace.

At this moment, within the yin-yang spirit refining great furnace, the Heaven-Mending Divine Fire had already completely melted the Devil Head's body into a pool of molten iron, never to be restored again.

He thought for a moment, then with a wave of his hand, he collected the yin-yang spirit refining great furnace and the five elements divine stone.

These two items were top-tier treasures of the world. Now that the Devil Head had been dealt with by him, taking the yin-yang spirit refining great furnace and the five elements divine stone as payment shouldn't be a problem, right?

“You just need to collect the Tokens and not worry about anything else. Come find me once you've found them.”

“If you encounter a problem you can't solve, Chanjuan, remember to send a voice transmission to me!”

Lin Ran left behind a word of caution, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.

“Eh!? Lin Ran, wait for me!!!”

Cang Huan saw that Lin Ran had completely forgotten about him and marginalized him, which naturally made him anxious.

At the very least, he had helped Lin Ran kill the demonic creatures. Even if there was no credit, there should be some recognition for his hard work, right?

But Lin Ran was just great; he didn't even say a word of thanks and even marginalized him. How could he stand this?!

No!

He had to catch up to Lin Ran and demand an explanation!!

...

At this time, on the Emperor Road, within the fifteenth Ancient Star—the Dragon Phoenix Star.

Four figures opened their eyes simultaneously, their eyes filled with panic and gravity...
