514: Warming up before a fight
Chapter 514: Warm-up Before Battle
After doing all that, Lu Ran looked at the three remaining empty slots for gods.
He had another idea.
Since he could revive these people anyway.
If he killed them, he could just revive them later.
So.
His gaze swept across the gods.
He didn’t find a suitable target, but one of them, the one who had been glaring at Lu Ran before, was still glaring at Lu Ran!
Although the fear in his eyes was obvious, his anger was still unconcealable.
Hey!
Lu Ran found it strange, who was this guy?
Lu Ran was sure he didn't know him.
But what was with this guy's gaze?
With curiosity.
Lu Ran approached him and stared at him.
This guy was wearing a hat and dressed in a strange way.
Seeing Lu Ran approach, he glanced at Lu Ran, and when he realized Lu Ran was also looking at him, his heart skipped a beat.
He quickly averted his gaze.
But at the same time, he snorted, expressing his disdain and dissatisfaction.
Instead, the other gods around him quickly moved away, avoiding any involvement with this guy.
“Did I kill your father?” Lu Ran asked directly.
Huh?
The god was stunned and looked at Lu Ran.
“Do we have a grudge? What’s with that look?” Lu Ran asked.
Before the other party could speak.
Lin Bao'er, who was beside him, introduced, “He is Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and he is with Manjushri Bodhisattva in the Treasure Light Palace, which is between the Demon Slaying Platform and the Army and Horse Department. We’ve been there.”
Upon hearing this.
Lu Ran was startled.
“Bodhisattva? So that’s Buddhism? The Celestial Court has monks?” Lu Ran asked in surprise.
“Left Buddha, Right Dao, and the Dou Shuai Palace next to the Imperial Garden are symmetrically opposite the West Heaven Gate and the East Heaven Gate,” Lin Bao'er explained.
So what was with that look?
Lin Bao'er seemed to sense Lu Ran’s confusion.
She continued to explain, “Do you still remember the five gods you killed in the Datafication World? One of them was Manjushri Bodhisattva, but he wasn’t sent by the Celestial Court. He invaded the Datafication World in his own way, and before the Celestial Court could figure out how he bypassed the datafication rules to invade the Datafication World, he died.”
Originally, the Celestial Court didn't know why Manjushri died in the Datafication World.
But now they knew.
Lu Ran killed him!
Lu Ran also remembered.
It dawned on him.
No wonder Samantabhadra Bodhisattva looked at Lu Ran as if Lu Ran had killed his father.
It turned out he had killed his best friend!
“So that’s it, no wonder you hate me so much,” Lu Ran nodded and said.
“I will never forgive you,” Manjushri said with a sneer.
But after saying that.
Realizing that Lu Ran’s strength was formidable, he wanted to make amends.
So he softened his tone slightly, “But you are now the Celestial Court Lord, and I won’t do anything to you.”
Useless!
Lu Ran shook his head and said, “Someone like you, who holds a grudge against me, it’s not good to be constantly stared at, so I can only let you live again.”
Then, with a thought.
He directly killed Samantabhadra in front of all the gods.
Seeing this, the other gods’ fear in their eyes became even more apparent, but they were not surprised.
Lu Ran could instantly kill the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West, so what was a mere Samantabhadra?
Then.
Lu Ran picked up Samantabhadra’s godhead shard and put it away.
He glanced at the task panel again; he had already killed three, only two more to go!
Lu Ran’s gaze swept across the others, and the immortals who met his gaze quickly averted their eyes.
They were afraid of incurring Lu Ran’s displeasure by making eye contact and being killed directly.
As for Samantabhadra, Lu Ran had no interest in even reviving him, as there was truly no need.
He didn't like monks.
If Samantabhadra hadn't been wearing a hat, Lu Ran would have seen his bald head long ago!
No wonder Manjushri went to the Datafication World back then.
That was when Lu Ran hadn't dropped the World Honored One of Mount Sumeru.
The World Honored One was looking for Cen Yu Nuo and the Six-Tusked White Elephant at that time, probably for the Six-Tusked White Elephant’s characteristic of rebirth.
It seemed.
That Manjushri had his own little scheme that the Celestial Court was completely unaware of.
However, unfortunately, the plan was interrupted by Lu Ran before it could be carried out.
In a hurry.
Manjushri wasn't going to save people, nor was he going to save the World Honored One.
Instead, he wanted to personally obtain the Six-Tusked White Elephant and Cen Yu Nuo.
But he also failed.
He never expected that in the Datafication World, there would be such a terrifying existence as Lu Ran, and he died directly in the Datafication World.
“That’s all for today, everyone clean up and prepare to leave. Lord Lao, you come with me,” Lu Ran said.
Lord Lao’s demeanor when speaking to Lu Ran was no longer as calm and composed as before.
Upon hearing this, he quickly nodded and said, “Yes!”
He was extremely respectful.
Then.
Lu Ran dismissed the others and stayed in the High Heaven Palace with Lord Lao.
The Queen Mother of the West and the Jade Emperor were by his side.
They were completely Lu Ran’s people now, so there was nothing to worry about.
“Which divine faction is closest to the Celestial Court?” Lu Ran asked.
“The Sun God Clan, led by the Sun God,” Lord Lao answered truthfully.
“Good, then prepare, we’ll all go together in a bit,” Lu Ran said.
Huh?
Go do what?
Lord Lao was confused and asked, “Do you mean to visit the Sun God Clan? Are we going to visit and negotiate?”
Lu Ran looked at Lord Lao as if he were an idiot.
He shook his head and said, “No, we’re going to hunt gods. I’m going to cleanse this entire Divine Realm, hunt all the gods.”
Upon hearing this, Lord Lao’s heart trembled violently.
If it were anyone else, even the Jade Emperor, Lu Ran would have thought it was pure bragging!
But from Lu Ran, he could only feel shock and horror!
Arrogant!
Too arrogant!
He had never seen anyone so arrogant!
A guy who had just ascended, so arrogant!
Simply terrifying!
And Lu Ran had such strength!
He could instantly kill the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West, the strongest in the Celestial Court faction, so he could also instantly kill the strongest in other divine factions!
“I understand, I will give the orders now. When do we depart?” Lord Lao asked cautiously.
“No hurry, wait for my notification. I’m a bit tired, I’ll rest first. You can go down now, give the orders, tell everyone to be ready, and then wait for my notification to march with me and annihilate the Sun God Clan!” Lu Ran waved his hand and said.
Only then did Lord Lao withdraw.
After he left.
Lu Ran turned to look at the Jade Emperor, then at the Queen Mother of the West.
He licked his lips.
And said, “Queen Mother of the West, you come with me.”
After speaking, he flew directly towards the Jade Pool in the back, which was the Queen Mother of the West’s territory.
Lu Ran planned to exercise here.
To relieve his recent complicated emotions, as the amount of information he had encountered since arriving in the Divine Realm was simply too vast.
During this process, Lu Ran occasionally turned his head to look at the Queen Mother of the West, who was following behind him, stepping on colorful auspicious clouds.
Exquisite!
Soon, they arrived at the Jade Pool.
Lu Ran’s gaze swept around.
Good heavens!
Besides the Queen Mother of the West, there were quite a few beautiful women in this Jade Pool!
But at this moment, Lu Ran had no interest in others. He casually picked a room and pulled the Queen Mother of the West inside.
