That's What Villains Are Like

Outside the territory of Mantuo Ancient Star, ripples spread on an asteroid, and Jiang Lan's figure walked out of the void.

Not far away, a figure riding on a green bull was waiting for him. It was Li Ran. Behind Li Ran, there was also a tall and strong man with disheveled hair, who was surging with excitement. With the breath of a saint.

"Grandpa..."

Jiang Lan glanced around and was slightly surprised. There was a hidden saint in this foreign land, which was beyond his expectation.

"I'm afraid there's something big going on outside the boundary. You've been having a good time these days."

Li Ran looked at Jiang Lan who appeared, shook his head slightly, and did not explain the matter of the strange saint behind him.

He waved his hand casually, and two figures suddenly fell from the void in front of him. Their cultivations were all blocked, and their hands and feet could not move. They were Zhou Yuan and Shang Yuanji.

"Grandpa, aren't you here? It's my turn to intervene, so I'll naturally take my time." Jiang Lan smiled, then looked at Zhou Yuan and Shang Yuanji.

Although Zhou Yuan saw Jiang Lan for the first time, he could guess his identity. At this moment, his face was gloomy and he had no idea of ​​resistance in his heart.

The same was true for Shang Yuanji. After all, he had obtained the Yuanji Vairocana Wisdom Book, and once asked Qi Qingxuan to find Jiang Lan's portrait in order to deduce Jiang Lan's energy.

Naturally, he also recognized Jiang Lan.

"According to your request, these two guys will be left to your disposal."

Li Ran said that his words had already decided the life and death of Zhou Yuan and Shang Yuanji. He was now a Saint King, let alone an existence below a Saint. Even a true Saint would not be taken seriously by him.

Although Zhou Yuan possesses the magical power of Yingzhao, it is not a real Yingzhao after all.

As for Shang Yuanji, in his opinion, he was just a lucky man who accidentally obtained the secret treasure and part of the ancient Buddhist sect's inheritance.

Don't say that you haven't become a saint yet. Even if you become a saint, you won't be able to make trouble.

"The lair of Demon God Wushang should have been raided?" Jiang Lan was actually most concerned about this.

Demon God Wushang's family background is a thousand times deeper than those of the saints' families. It is not easy to plot against this cunning and treacherous Demon God.

On the day Li Ran became the Holy King, the two of them were laying the groundwork for suppressing the Demon Well, just to attract the Demon God Wushang to take the bait.

"That guy did collect a lot of good stuff, enough for Taiyi to digest for a while."

"The most important one is the hand bone of a Buddhist saint who is about to enter the realm of a great sage. It contains his profound practice experience and wonderful insights along the way, which is enough for me to comprehend for a period of time."

Li Ran smiled and casually let a glimmer of light shine between his fingers into Jiang Lan's brow, telling him all the information about the Demon God Wushang's lair.

At the same time, he was not stingy and told Jiang Lan some of the secrets he had learned from the hand bone in the past few days.

The Ancient Buddha Sect, the Ancient Star Sect, the Ancient Alchemy Sect... these have all established prestigious Great Thousand Worlds in the world of heavens, with profound foundations and countless treasures.

Any one of these treasure houses, as long as it is digested, is enough for an ordinary force to jump to the top level.

"The number of reborn jade elixirs, Tiangui muscle-boosting liquid, marrow-cleansing holy Buddha pulp, pure Yang Tiandan, and clear water elixir alone totals millions..."

"Not to mention the many magic weapons and secret treasures and magical powers, some lost Taoist skills, and the refining methods of magic weapons and elixirs."

Jiang Lan also smiled and couldn't help but sigh at the wealth of Demon God Wushang's family.

The Taiyi Sect has been operating in the land of Kyushu for more than 10,000 years, but it is far less than the treasures collected by a demon god.

Of course, the Demon God Wushang has existed for more than a hundred thousand years after all, and is hiding in an alternate plane of time and space. There are countless secret treasures that have been plundered by him, not to mention some ancient traditions and saintly families hidden deep in time and space. , was destroyed and annexed by it.

In this way, it is natural to accumulate such deep wealth.

"The Great Demon God Gu Qi is no longer sane, his origins have been severely consumed, and he is no longer at his former peak. Although I suppressed him, the strength of the refined demon servant is probably not as good as that of the Wushang Demon God."

Li Ran has important things to do next, so I’ll keep the story short.

The biggest gain from this trip was naturally the suppressed Demon God Wushang and the Great Demon God Guqi.

When the Great Demon God Gu Qi was at his peak, his combat power was comparable to that of the Holy King of the Human Race. He was sealed in the Demon-Suppressing Well for many years and suffered serious losses. His realm has fallen, and he is even inferior to the Demon God Wushang.

Unless Demon God Wushang is willing to sacrifice himself to allow Demon God Gu Qi to return to his peak.

Of course, Li Ran also guessed that the Great Demon God Wushang may have other plans. He did not intend to let the Great Demon God Gu Qi be born. It was more likely that he wanted to devour him and achieve his own success.

Then he only needs to refine the Demon God Wushang and the Great Demon God Guqi, and there will be two more demon servants for him to drive, both with saint-level combat power.

In this way, Taiyi Sect's rule over the entire Jiuzhou land will be more stable.

"Look at Demon God Wushang's house to see if there is anything you need right now..."

Li Ran waved his hand to cover up the sound of the two talking.

He also knew that time was tight and he would not stay in the Sifang Star Territory for too long. He came to Jiang Lan because he wanted to give him a share of the gains from this trip.

After all, without Jiang Lan cooperating with him, it would not be so easy to pull off the trick and lure Demon God Wushang to take the bait.

Jiang Lan himself came here, naturally, to share the benefits, so he was not polite at all. Then he picked a few things that were currently important to him from the treasure house of Demon God Wushang.

"This object is called the Great Chaos Electric Talisman, but it is just a fragment. It is said that the Thunder God and Lightning Lady in the ancient heaven relied on this talisman to control thunder catastrophes and control the thunder punishment of living creatures in the world. With the fall of the Emperor of Heaven, this talisman was also broken. , the method of mastering the thunder calamity has returned to the sky..."

An ancient talisman fragment with flashing lightning and dense aura of chaos floated in Jiang Lan's palm. He looked at it briefly and accepted it.

"Seven Wonderful Heart-Knocking Pills, Bodhi Bright Buddha Pills, Glazed Three Holy Pills..."

Afterwards, he collected several ancient elixirs whose refining methods had long been lost. Each one was sealed with wax, and the medicinal effect was preserved and had not dissipated.

Although these pills are no longer useful to the saint, they are still very beneficial to him at this stage. Afterwards, if he goes back to swallow them and refine them, he can increase his cultivation a lot.

There are actually pills in this world that can help saints increase their wisdom and cultivation, but the refining method has long been lost, let alone the pills that need to be refined. The raw materials required are extremely precious and were born in some heaven and earth. Restricted areas, places where no life exists.

Even if a saint takes action, it will be difficult to pick...

There are also some raw materials for elixirs, which were born in the void of time and space, surrounded by sky fire and thunder, and protected by powerful time and space beasts. They are truly heavenly elixirs that cannot be seen.

Among the many treasure troves accumulated by Demon God Wushang, only these pills are of the highest level, and there are still many improvements for Jiang Lan.

As for the remaining elixirs, he also took tens of thousands of them each. Although he could not use them himself, he could use them to train the people around him when he returned to the land of Kyushu.

Like other magic weapons and secret treasures, Jiang Lan also refused to come to them and looted a lot.

Among them, he also found several acquired spiritual treasures that were very suitable for Li Mengning, such as the Twelve-Leaf Nirvana Lotus Platform and the Biluo Huangquan Sword... As for the other Taoist tools that gave birth to Daohen, he directly looted hundreds of them. Li Ran's eyebrows couldn't help but jump.

A Taoist weapon is enough for an Eighth Realm master to fight to the death.

Jiang Lan had almost plundered one-third of the Taoist artifacts collected by Demon God Wushang.

"Grandpa, don't feel bad. This is just the treasure of a demon god. There will be other secrets waiting for us soon."

Jiang Lan looked casual and showed no pain at all. He had already informed Li Ran about the affairs of the Shi clan.

Li Ran nodded. His ambition was not small. Now that he has taken charge of the land of Kyushu, he can only take the first step.

Then it is time to cultivate the family and let it continue to grow until it stands at the top of all worlds and becomes an immortal family.

With the support of his family, he can go further and further as the holy king he is now.

At present, many of the family's resources will be poured into Jiang Lan first, and he has high expectations for Jiang Lan. If Jiang Lan becomes a saint, then he, the saint king, may not be his opponent.

The next situation is very complicated and may exceed what he and Jiang Lan expected at the beginning, so the world needs someone who can really stand up and shock the world outside the world.

While Jiang Lan was selecting many magic weapons and magical scrolls, Li Ran remembered another thing and said,

"I have communicated with the realm masters of the Sword Realm. There are currently three ideas on the other side of the realm. Either a group of realm masters can take the lead and gather the power of all realms to invade on a large scale, break through the barriers within the realm, and prevent the reorganization of the heaven realm."

"Either we wait for the catastrophe to subside and gain a glimmer of hope based on the vitality brought down by the will of the heavens. Or we secretly find a way to sneak over and hide in the world for decades, waiting for the mark of the origin of life to assimilate and evade the will of Kyushu. The liquidation and suppression..."

"Judging from the current situation, all the Great Thousand Worlds are advocating raising troops for war. On the contrary, the rest of the Middle Thousand Worlds want to wait for the catastrophe to subside before gaining a glimmer of hope. There are ancient beings who have a premonition of this catastrophe outside the world. It will lead to the death of many world lords, and the collapse of the world."

"This is the best opportunity for each world to jump."

Hearing this, Jiang Lan nodded and said, "It's quite different from what I expected, but the world masters still far underestimated the deterrent power of the will of the heavens. In the face of the will of the heavens, the world masters are just using their power. How can a group of parasites that rely on the origin of the world be able to resist the will of the heavens if they unite?"

"When you enter nirvana and combine with the Tao, the Tao you finally merge with is only the Tao in the world. The will of the heavens is in charge of all the causal order in the heavens. It is a prince with supreme power. The world is at best its retainer and realm. The Lord can only borrow his power..."

He is not worried at all about what the masters from outside the realm can do if they gather the power of all realms, and in the end they will not be easily suppressed by the will of the heavens.

Even if one can truly transcend the path of nirvana, ascend to the throne of immortality, and reach the other shore, it will not be able to threaten the will of the heavens.

Compared with the will of the heavens, the will of the Nine Provinces is more like a young king bestowing power. From a hierarchical perspective, it is already supreme in the true sense.

The launch of the catastrophe of the heavens itself is just the will of the heavens responding to its instincts and obeying the orders of the will of the earth in Kyushu.

Even if he is a child king, he is still a king.

The heaven is supreme. It can be said that in a certain sense, it is the manifestation of the way of heaven. It governs and controls everything in the dark, and its power spreads across infinite time and space and endless planes.

Looking at Jiang Lan who was calm and talking, Li Ran felt dazed for a moment. Jiang Lan was becoming more and more consistent with what he thought was the image of the Emperor of Heaven. He knew everything. It seemed that one day, he would really be able to take charge of the endless world. Void dominates all things and all life.

"Grandpa seems to have reached a certain deal with the master of the sword world. There is already a mole before the war begins." Jiang Lan suddenly laughed.

Li Ran waved his hand, smiled faintly, and said, "The hustle and bustle is all for profit. As the master of a realm, you don't have to consider profit. There is no chance of victory or chance in conquering the heaven. As far as I know, except for the barriers , there is also a weak water across the barrier between the outside and the inside of the boundary. Even the boundary owner cannot cross that weak water, how can the army from outside the boundary break through?"

"The realm masters of the Sword Realm have a very profound view. When the catastrophe comes, all the realm masters will be killed by God's will. The realm will be shaken again and again. When the time comes, the five declines of heaven and humans will come early. It is still unclear whether they can survive. Which Come with the strength to coordinate the army and attack the heaven?"

"The current commotion outside the community is most likely to scare people and force the inside community to discuss and talk with them."

"Attack the heart first..."

Jiang Lan naturally also knows the reason why there is a lot of movement outside the boundary, and it is because of this.

After all, monks outside the world have always believed that the inheritance within the world is cut off and they do not have a deep understanding of the path of cultivation.

And there are only a few saints in the realm. How to resist the incoming attacks of many realm masters?

At that time, it would not be the first to lose the confidence to fight and obediently accept the covenant agreement outside the boundary.

"What agreement did grandpa reach with the master of the sword world to let him reveal so much information to you?" Jiang Lan asked, a little curious.

If you are outside the realm, let alone a holy king, even if you are a supreme being who has entered the ten realms of nirvana, it will be difficult to see and talk to the realm lord.

"This agreement actually has a lot to do with you, Lan'er. I was just about to inform you about this."

"Your mother and father also already know." Li Ran said with a normal expression.

"Um?"

This time, it was Jiang Lan's turn to be surprised. What could she have hidden from him?

"After the catastrophe subsides, the master of the sword world will find a way to send the most outstanding successor of his sect to the world. I will be responsible for guiding and protecting him. When the time comes, you will marry him back to the Li family and treat him as an equal wife... …”

"I think you won't refuse this matter." Li Ran paused and said again.

"What does my family think of me?"

Jiang Lan raised her eyebrows.

Marrying Emperor Xia at the beginning was not only because of his own destiny, but also because of Li Ran's layout and fueling.

Now, he was asked to marry the most outstanding descendant of the current generation of a world leader from outside the world. This obvious marriage was not discussed with him.

"The Lord of the Sword Realm has learned about your talent and cultivation, and appreciates it very much. Even if you are married to Emperor Xia, she doesn't care..."

"The successor she is optimistic about is one of the best in the sword world in terms of talent, talent, cultivation, appearance, and family background. He will not humiliate you."

Li Ran continued.

He knew that Jiang Lan was a romantic person, but to Jiang Lan, this was just a wife with multiple titles, and it didn't matter at all.

"Of course I don't care. Don't let a lucky man pop up again and point his head at me and say he stole his fiancée..."

Jiang Lan shook his head inwardly. He really had no resistance.

In his eyes, such women and tools are actually the same. One more is not more, and one less is not less.

"If you go to the battlefield of the heavens, you should be able to see this woman in advance." Li Ran finished explaining the matter and planned to leave.

As for the Yisheng he brought with him, he didn't explain much to Jiang Lan.

Such an unknown "wild" saint is now naturally brought back to have a name in Taiyi Sect, and then be made public...

Whether he accepts Yisheng or not is not something Li Ran has to consider.

After Li Ran left, Jiang Lan smiled and looked at Zhou Yuan and Shang Yuanji, who were banned from cultivation.

He has actually already thought about how to deal with the two of them in order to maximize his interests.

The biggest backer behind Qi Qingxuan, the Demon God Wushang, has fallen.

This Shang Yuanji is already a piece of fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by him.

Now we have to see whether Qi Qingxuan, the "Crown Prince" established by the Emperor of Great Xia before his death, can catch other big fish.

If he really couldn't fish it out, then Jiang Lan was going to abandon the chess piece and go back to tease Emperor Xia.

"The successful king and the defeated bandit have fallen into the hands of the young alliance leader today. I accept my defeat and will kill or behead you. Please do as you please."

Shang Yuanji's Yuanji Vairochana Wisdom Book has been taken away by Li Ran. Now that his greatest support has been lost, all thoughts in his heart are despaired, and he no longer cares about life or death.

"Originally I thought that Master Shang Guoshi was still a figure and could be as famous as Ge Qixing, but now it seems that you are far inferior to him. You don't understand a principle and you are the first to shoot."

"I don't understand the principle of being able to bend and stretch. In this case, it will be easy for the Imperial Master to go to hell."

There was no point in Jiang Lan keeping Shang Yuanji by his side, and he didn't need anyone to advise him.

After finishing his words, he raised his hand, and a streak of blood penetrated Shang Yuanji's eyebrows.

The energy and blood all over his body flowed backwards, and was drained away along the ray of blood. Then the whole person was broken every inch like flying ash and gravel, and his body and soul were destroyed.

Jiang Lan withdrew the bloody light, and many experiences and memories of Shang Yuanji's life flashed by in front of him. He was not interested in paying attention, but just selected some of the knowledge, practice experience, and inheritance of techniques to absorb.

"Brother Zhou Yuan, why are you looking like this? I actually don't intend to kill you..."

He looked at Zhou Yuan who was slightly pale, smiled, and put his hand on his eyebrows.

"As the young leader of the Immortal Alliance, you actually practice such evil techniques and are so ruthless..."

Zhou Yuan's whole body suddenly tensed up, and Shang Yuanji's fate sent chills down his back and trembled with fear.

"It is the heart that harms people, not the skills. I have never killed innocent people indiscriminately. In order to deal with the Immortal Alliance, my grandfather, and me, you did not hesitate to release the great demon who once brought trouble to the world. In terms of ruthlessness, I can Nothing compared to you..." Jiang Lan smiled lightly.

"That's a countermeasure discussed by Shang Yuanji and Demon God Wushang, and it has nothing to do with me."

Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth and said, there were cloud patterns between his eyebrows, and there were subtle flickering like fireflies, as if there was a surge of divine power, trying to break free from the restraints and seal the town.
