358: Chapter 358 Destroy Nangong Wentian and Gather the Heavenly Mandate Stele!

"This Holy Son finds it strange. Logically, the Heavenly Dao should be here too. Why isn't he with you? Where is he?"

Lin Ran stepped on Nangong Wentian's chest and spoke with a cold expression.

Damn it!

He was almost schemed against by this old thing!

Before it happened, who could have imagined that Nangong Wentian could summon two Weird Gods with a cultivation of the Heavenly Palace Realm Seventh Heaven?

If not for his dragon-phoenix auspicious ladder, which could summon an Immortal God, he might have actually been caught by this old fellow's scheme.

Although with his current strength, he didn't need to be too intimidated when facing an ordinary Heavenly Palace Realm Expert.

But facing two Weird Gods of the Heavenly Palace Realm Seventh Heaven, he still didn't have any good solutions.

"Cough, cough! Lin Ran, to be honest, this ancestor also really wants to know what that dog, the Heavenly Dao, was doing while I was fighting you!"

"If the Heavenly Dao had appeared and joined forces with me, you would have surely died!!"

Nangong Wentian said with a sinister look.

This was also something he couldn't understand.

Logically, he and the Heavenly Dao were already in the same boat; both had deep-seated grudges against Lin Ran and wished to kill him.

But just now, while his battle with Lin Ran was at its peak, why didn't the Heavenly Dao show up to help him?!

What on earth was the Heavenly Dao plotting?!

"If the Heavenly Dao had dared to show up just now, I would have killed him as well!"

Lin Ran shot back with a cold sneer.

He didn't think the Heavenly Dao was that strong. If the opponent were truly lawlessly powerful, he would have killed Lin Ran in front of Jiang Yunxian.

Instead of letting him live freely in the White Jade Capital.

The only possibility was that the Heavenly Dao feared Jiang Yunxian!

And this precisely proved that the strength of the Heavenly Dao of Baiyujing was merely within the scope of the Heavenly Palace Realm. No matter how strong he was, how much stronger could he be?

Judging by his state of being possessed by an Immortal God just now, even if the Heavenly Dao of Baiyujing stood before him, he would be slain with a single sword strike!

"Nangong Wentian, you have consecutively possessed two people, which is equivalent to two Rebirths."

"This time, This Holy Son wants to see who else you can possess!"

Lin Ran slashed out with his sword, slitting Nangong Wentian's throat.

The terrifying Pure Yang Chaos Fire then emerged, surging boundlessly and incinerating the Void Realm.

Nangong Wentian's Divine Soul and Primordial Spirit had nowhere to run and could only be submerged in the sky-filling Pure Yang Chaos Fire.

"Heavenly Dao! Heavenly Dao! Heavenly Dao!!"

Before his death, Nangong Wentian's Divine Soul roared, seemingly trying to call out to the Heavenly Dao for help.

Unfortunately, even if he shouted his throat raw, the Heavenly Dao remained indifferent and ultimately did not appear.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Ran collected the last heavenly mandate stele from Nangong Wentian's body, and he finally felt completely relieved.

"I've finally collected all seventeen heavenly mandate steles. I wonder what mysteries they contain now that they're all gathered?"

Lin Ran's mind was filled with constant speculation.

"Husband, how is the battle outside? Are you alright?"

Yu Chanjuan's worried voice came from within the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda.

"Lord Banished Sword Immortal, if it really doesn't work, let's just run! As long as the green mountains remain, there's no need to worry about firewood!"

Bai Luo's cute and naive, yet worried voice followed.

"Don't worry, Nangong Wentian is dead, and I've collected all seventeen heavenly mandate steles."

Lin Ran smiled slightly.

Inside the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda, after a brief silence, Bai Luo's excited cheers rang out.

"Great! Bai Luo knew that Lord Banished Sword Immortal would definitely be able to kill that old fellow!!"

"Husband, you... you've really collected all the heavenly mandate steles?!"

"This... this is an unprecedented feat!!"

"Husband, hurry up and let us out!"

Yu Chanjuan's excitement was mixed with a bit of urgency.

Hearing this, Lin Ran shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Chanjuan. I'm afraid the three of you will have to stay in the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda for a while longer."

"Although Nangong Wentian is dead, the Heavenly Dao has never shown himself."

"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure about dealing with the Heavenly Dao; I can only protect myself."

"If you come out, I won't be able to protect you, and that would distract me."

Yu Chanjuan fell silent for a moment, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness, her fists clenched tightly.

After a long time, she exhaled a heavy breath of turbid air and said weakly, "Alright, husband, you... you must be careful!"

Lin Ran nodded slightly and then put away the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda.

"Blockhead Master, who was... that person just now?"

Gu Qinglian flew out from the immortal suppressing demon sword, circling around Lin Ran, still feeling lingering fear.

"That Immortal God? I don't know him either, but he taught me quite a lot of things."

"Don't worry, with me here, he shouldn't make a move against you."

Lin Ran laughed.

"Hmph!"

Gu Qinglian puffed out her cheeks angrily.

"He even said I was a filthy thing. I'm clearly your cute and adorable sword spirit!"

"Where am I filthy?!"

Lin Ran reached out and rubbed the top of Gu Qinglian's head, smiling as he comforted her.

"Alright, don't be angry anymore. Maybe Immortals just have such strange tempers?"

"Hmph!"

Hearing this, Gu Qinglian became even angrier, sitting on Lin Ran's shoulder and swinging her fair little feet.

Lin Ran looked down and noticed an ancient mirror left at the spot where Nangong Wentian died; it was the weird cloud mirror.

The weird cloud mirror was a bizarre dao Magic Treasure. If one didn't have the Strange Way Source in their body, it couldn't be activated.

Nangong Wentian was only able to use the weird cloud mirror because he had possessed the Young Sect Master of the Yellow Sand Sect; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to use it either.

For Lin Ran, a bizarre dao Magic Treasure like the weird cloud mirror was even more useless. Not only could he not use it, but he might even be corroded by the Strange Way Source.

After some thought, Lin Ran finally used the Swallow Character Secret to refine the weird cloud mirror.

In any case, among bizarre dao Magic Treasures, the weird cloud mirror was considered a high-quality Divine Artifact, containing quite a bit of the Strange Way Source.

By swallowing it, he could use it to nourish other Word Secrets.

"Now, the power of the kill Word Secret should be able to kill some ordinary Heavenly Palace Realm Experts."

After refining the two great Weird Gods and the weird cloud mirror, Lin Ran had also refined a significant amount of the Strange Way Source.

Under the nourishment of this massive amount of Strange Way Source, the power of the kill Word Secret had also skyrocketed.

Lin Ran estimated that the current power of the kill Word Secret should be able to kill Heavenly Palace Realm Experts!

Of course, these were only ordinary Heavenly Palace Realm Experts. As for those slightly more powerful ones, while the kill Word Secret couldn't kill them, it wouldn't be a problem to severely injure them.

At the very least, it could provide some interference.

"Blockhead, I sense an extraordinary aura ahead. I think that must be the Heavenly Dao of Baiyujing!"

Gu Qinglian's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she leaned close to Lin Ran's ear and whispered.
