365: Chapter 365 Journey to the Ten Dynasties' Divine Realm, Cang Huan's Return

"When the time is right, I will come looking for you."

"Rest assured, you are mine. I won't make you wait too long, and I won't let anyone take you away."

Lin Ran smiled and rubbed Xuan Zhixue's head.

Xuan Zhixue couldn't help but shed tears; she stood on her tiptoes, gently kissed Lin Ran, and her hands involuntarily wrapped around his waist.

Lin Ran also lightly embraced Xuan Zhixue, allowing her to seek his kiss, his eyes full of indulgence.

Xuan Changle stood in the back in silence, saying nothing.

To be honest, although in his eyes Lin Ran was desecrating the Saintess of their Angel Clan, he actually had to thank Lin Ran.

If it hadn't been for Lin Ran's persistent persuasion, Xuan Zhixue might not have necessarily returned to the Angel Clan with him.

After the kiss, Lin Ran released Xuan Zhixue, looked at Xuan Changle, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Senior, I have a request. I wonder if Senior can agree to it?"

"Speak first."

Xuan Changle said.

He found Lin Ran relatively pleasing to the eye.

As long as Lin Ran's request wasn't too excessive, he would satisfy it for Xuan Zhixue's sake.

"However, don't expect me to help you settle the turmoil in this world."

"First, because of the flaws in the laws of this world, experts of the Seven-Star Divine Realm are not permitted to appear."

"If I were to act, the laws of this world would inevitably collapse, and at that time, this world would surely be destroyed; no one would survive!"

"Second, Heavenly God Mountain is not as simple as you imagine. There is a behemoth standing behind it; our Angel Clan can barely protect ourselves and truly cannot afford to provoke them."

Xuan Changle said.

Lin Ran nodded slightly and said, "Senior, rest assured. I will find a way to settle this catastrophe myself. All Karma will fall upon me; I will definitely not trouble Senior."

"I only wish to request that when Senior takes Zhixue back to the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm, could you take me along as well?"

Xuan Zhixue was stunned upon hearing this, then her face lit up with wild joy.

"Husband, you are going to..."

However, before she could finish, and before she could be happy for long, Lin Ran shook his head and interrupted her:

"Zhixue, I am going to the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm to find a way to destroy Heavenly God Mountain, not to follow you back to the Angel Clan."

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Xuan Zhixue's face instantly froze, and her expression became somewhat awkward.

"O... Okay then."

Xuan Changle nodded and agreed to Lin Ran's request:

"For the sake of your persuasion of Zhixue to return to the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm, I can take you there."

"However..."

His tone shifted: "The Ten Dynasties Divine Realm is not some beautiful place. The strife and killing there will only be more intense than in your world!"

"If you have no background or any power backing you in the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm, I'm afraid you will find it difficult to take a single step."

"At that time, if you feel regret, not only will you have no way to return to the Zhangming Emperor Realm, but our Angel Clan will also find it difficult to help you."

"This matter... you must think it through!"

Xuan Changle gave Lin Ran a meaningful look.

"Senior, please just take me to the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm."

Lin Ran cupped his fists slightly.

"Very well. I shall take you and Zhixue back to the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm now."

Xuan Changle said indifferently.

"Lin Ran, you heading to the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm alone is truly too risky. This Ancestor shall go with you!"

Third Ancestor said anxiously.

Lin Ran was only at such an age and had already broken through to the Divine Fire Realm Ninth Heaven. Given time, he would surely become a great talent!

What did a mere Heavenly God Mountain matter?!

If something happened to Lin Ran, that would be truly beyond salvation!

"Third Ancestor, you are the pillar of the Feixian Sect. If you come with me to the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm, won't the Feixian Sect be left without anyone to guard it?"

"Don't worry, Third Ancestor. Your Saint will return before long."

Lin Ran gave Third Ancestor a reassuring smile.

Third Ancestor also knew that he couldn't persuade Lin Ran; the current Lin Ran was not someone he could sway.

He sighed heavily, tears in the corners of his eyes, as he gently patted Lin Ran's shoulder with a calloused hand.

"Saint, we have truly wronged you."

Lin Ran just smiled and shook his head, saying nothing.

"Alright, is everything that needed to be said finished?"

"We are setting off now."

Xuan Changle took out an ancient talisman, infused it with magic power, and then crushed it.

The shattered ancient talisman turned into starlight that filled the air, enveloping him, Lin Ran, and Xuan Zhixue.

Following a flash of dazzling brilliance, the figures of Lin Ran's trio were no longer in their original spot.

...

White Jade Capital, Place of Divine Return.

Aside from those powers who had learned that their World Walker's life lamp had been extinguished and they had already perished on the Emperor Road.

The three major powers—Lingyu Tower, the Barbarian Clan, and the Kunlun Sect—all had people arrive, waiting here for the return of their own World Walkers.

"What's going on? Normally, this should be the time for the World Walkers to return."

"But... it's already this late, why hasn't even one person returned?"

The Master of Lingyu Tower frowned deeply, feeling very worried.

Moreover, the opening of the Emperor Road this time was much more cruel than in the past.

In the past, although World Walkers would also die on the Emperor Road, the number was never this high; they could be counted on one's fingers.

However, with the opening of the Emperor Road this time, a total of fifteen World Walkers entered, yet twelve died.

Only the life lamps of Lin Ran, Yu Chanjuan, and Cang Huan had not been extinguished.

It was clear just how cruel this Emperor Road truly was!

Su Yuechan and Meng Qing were clearly getting impatient; the anxiety in their hearts grew more severe, and they even looked up at the front every few seconds, hoping a familiar figure would appear.

"No rush. The Emperor Road has not closed yet, which means Lin Ran still has time to return."

"Perhaps Lin Ran is in the middle of receiving some kind of Opportunity or Legacy."

Jiang Yunxian comforted them patiently, but the anxiety on her face also betrayed her heart.

And just as she finished saying this, a thunderous boom erupted from the grand and majestic Emperor Road ahead.

Under the incredulous and unacceptable gazes of the crowd, the image of the Emperor Road gradually dimmed, as if it were about to vanish.

"This..."

Now, it was Jiang Yunxian's turn to panic.

The Emperor Road was about to close; why was there still no sign of Lin Ran?

Could it be that Lin Ran truly met with some misfortune, or was the Heavenly Dao secretly playing tricks?!

However, she still held onto a glimmer of hope, thinking that before the Emperor Road closed, Lin Ran's figure would surely appear!

Yet, all of this was ultimately just self-deceptive fantasy.

Even after the Emperor Road completely closed and disappeared, Lin Ran's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, one person hurriedly flew out from the Emperor Road and arrived at the Place of Divine Return—it was none other than Cang Huan!

"Cang Huan?!"

No one expected that the only person to emerge from the Emperor Road was not Lin Ran, nor Yu Chanjuan, nor any of the other powerful World Walkers, but the World Walker of the Barbarian Clan—Cang Huan!!
