CHAPTER 1079: CHAPTER 1009: FOUR DIRECTIONS HEAVENLY EMPEROR?

Suddenly, Si Xianxian looked over, a trace of longing in her eyes.

Lie Tian had always been her imagined adversary!

However, the words of the Lady of the Ran Sect made Sister Xian’er a little deflated: "Lu Ran wants to send the Wind Emperor and the Martial Emperor into battle."

"Wind and Martial Emperor." Qiao Wanjun mused.

One is a female Martial Monk, the other is a Great Martial Artist!

Both are First-class Gods standing at the peak of Gods and Demons, among whom Wu Xiao even holds a Double Divine Position of Martial Artist and Yin Flower Dan.

In the Ran Sect, there indeed are too many brilliant stars.

Wu Xiao’s personal character and way of living in the world inevitably made him low-key.

Only when the sea is turbulent can the true colors of a hero emerge!

In moments of true life and death, when seeing the true outcome, Lu Ran directly named Wu Xiao.

This objectively indicates that the Martial Emperor is at a top-tier level of combat power within the Ran Sect God Sequence!

Appointed personally by the Master of Ran Sect!

"Wind Emperor versus Spiritual Fortune, Martial Emperor versus Lie Tian?" Qiao Wanjun inquired.

"Yes." Jiang Ruyi nodded gently, not surprised that Qiao Wanjun could analyze it, "I plan to talk to Lu Ran about replacing the Wind Emperor myself."

Xian Mo VS Spiritual Fortune?

Qiao Wanjun’s mind swiftly went through the techniques of both sides, secretly shaking her head.

Jiang Ruyi is indeed quite strong, but Spiritual Fortune is an all-round presence!

There isn’t a single aspect in which it’s not skilled—attack, defense, control, summoning, support.

You really can’t consider Spiritual Fortune as merely a Fourth-class God!

It’s because Spiritual Fortune resorted to every means possible to gather Power of Faith, causing its sect’s Divine Techniques to have significant drawbacks, thereby dropping in the Great Xia Divine Sequence to the fourth rank.

In a real and genuine fight, its status as a First-class God Demon remains unshakable.

None of the likes of Four Directions Warlords, Eight Heavenly Demons, Twelve Earthly Fiends—whether they are Second-class or Third-class Gods and Demons—would dare assure their victory over Spiritual Fortune if asked.

Lu Ran’s choice is undoubtedly correct.

Considering the characteristics of the Spiritual Sign Sect’s techniques, sending in the high-offense and high-defense Wind Emperor is appropriate.

"Why participate in the battle personally?" Qiao Wanjun did not rush to deny it but asked instead, "Do you hate Spiritual Fortune?"

Jiang Ruyi slowly shook her head, her lips gently parted:

"He hates Spiritual Fortune a lot."

Qiao Wanjun’s expression paused slightly, her eyes softened somewhat, and she gently advised: "The situation is special, the Sect Leader also needs to fight a deathmatch.

You, as the Lady of the Sect, should preside over matters from the sidelines."

However, Jiang Ruyi remembered something and diverted the topic: "Lu Ran told me before, he wanted to find an opportunity to invite you to be the Vice Sect Leader of the Ran Sect, to preside over the affairs of the sect."

"Oh?" Qiao Wanjun slightly raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Ruyi smiled and nodded: "He is still working on building up the courage, unsure of how to approach you, and afraid of your refusal."

"Hehe~" Qiao Wanjun lightly looked at the young woman in a phoenix robe, "So you spoke on his behalf."

"Mm." Jiang Ruyi rarely displayed the demeanor that a younger generation should have, her smile a bit bashful.

Strength nurtures a person, and so does status.

Jiang Ruyi, donned in the prestigious Phoenix Dignity of Nine Heavens Robe, on the outside appears like an Empress who wields power over the entire world.

Indeed, her core is the same.

This is also the reality!

Even before Qiao Wanjun and Lu Ran joined forces, within the Ran Sect, the old members of the Cloud Sea were already a special small group.

After Qiao Wanjun arrived, the Cloud Sea Sect came into being.

Though Qiao Wanjun and Lu Ran are a family, Jiang Ruyi truly hopes Master Qiao can take the lead in joining the Ran Sect.

Whether managing or overseeing.

The old members of the Cloud Sea could fundamentally belong to the Ran Sect completely.

"What are you chatting about so engrossingly?" Suddenly, a young voice came from behind.

Both Qiao Wanjun and Jiang Ruyi turned their heads to look.

They saw Lu Ran sitting on the giant stone finger of the Divine Sculpture of Xian Mo, looking at the Lady Mother and Lady Girlfriend, muttering discontentedly:

"Over there, I was fighting like mad, and neither of you show any concern for me..."

Qiao Wanjun slightly raised her brows, watching the young man utterly lacking grand demeanor, only to find him increasingly resembling Little Yuanxi.

Having shed his inferiority and sensitivity, he learned to cry and make a fuss.

Jiang Ruyi held an elusive smile at the corner of her mouth, similarly watching the young man sitting on the ground refusing to get up.

At the peak of the Heavenly Realm at twenty-three years old...

Isn’t it a bit late to be acting spoiled now?

"I’m about to be slain by Chou Nu..." Lu Ran continued grumbling.

Yan Chou: ???

Did you come across the Young Master?

Not at all!

It’s not that I’m afraid to meet him, I just really couldn’t!

"Um... Could you two spare me a bit of attention?" Lu Ran, receiving no response for a long time, looked up at the two at the tip of the stone finger.

How humble he is~

He looked to the left and was immediately stunned by beauty.

Another glance to the right, even more stunning.

There’s no denying, the strength of the Third Level in the Heavenly Realm helped Lu Ran a lot, greatly enhancing his mental and aura resistance!

At least in front of a goddess girlfriend, he could hold back and no longer freak out.

"I heard from Ruyi that you want to bring me into your sect?" Qiao Wanjun suddenly spoke.

"Oh no~ I didn’t say that!" This time, it was Lu Ran’s turn to be startled.

He quickly stood up, "I wanted to invite you as the Vice Sect Leader! To manage the Three Realms, lead the heroes."

Qiao Wanjun couldn’t help but laugh, looking at the kid’s earnest and fearful appearance, she gestured to the woman in the phoenix robe beside her, "You already have an excellent Vice Sect Leader.

She is more thoughtful and calm than you."

Lu Ran: "..."

So should I leave?

Jiang Ruyi pursed her lips, also silent.

Aunt Qiao, you’re hinting at me...

"Mom." Lu Ran organized his words, and said seriously, "I’m not going to say those fake polite things, the brothers are all following me, I can’t let you be the Sect Leader."

His gaze was intensely sincere, "You’re technically the Vice Sect Leader, but in private, Ruyi and I both listen to you."

But to his surprise, Qiao Wanjun decisively shook her head.

Lu Ran slightly opened his mouth, momentarily stuck.

In name, he is the Lord of Gods and Demons, but in today’s world where warriors become gods, the Ran Sect deities can leave him.

The old subordinates of the Cloud Sea... or anyone could start anew.

That’s why Yu Changsheng had long advised Lu Ran to keep something back.

To ensure his core combat system is stable and to tightly hold some important Stone Sculptures in his own hands.

Of course, these are the worst-case scenarios, Lu Ran certainly didn’t believe his mother would leave him.

"Forget about the Vice Sect Leader, Ruyi does very well." Qiao Wanjun stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the distant dim sky.

Listen, heed the voice.

Lu Ran was initially somewhat lost, but now he immediately stabilized.

As expected, Qiao Wanjun said lightly, "I see there are two Heavenly Emperors within Ran Sect."

Lu Ran’s eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, yes! Both of them are first-class God Demons, with top-notch combat power, very impressive... ahem, status upheld!

Either one can easily hold their own!"

Lu Ran took a step forward, "Who do you want to replace? I’ll kick that guy out of the sequence and demote him to Divine General."

Qiao Wanjun: ?

Jiang Ruyi: ???

Qiao Wanjun’s eyes were reproachful while Jiang Ruyi was both amused and annoyed.

As two beautiful eyes looked over, Lu Ran couldn’t help but shiver slightly, speaking softly, "I’m just trying to lighten the mood~

Hey? This way it would be perfect to complete the Four Directions Heavenly Emperor..."

"Who is the other one?" Qiao Wanjun was somewhat curious.

He Qifeng and Wu Xiao were already part of the list, not worth discussing, and with Qiao Wanjun’s entry, the selection standards for the Heavenly Emperor sequence would naturally be elevated infinitely!

So when Lu Ran said this, even Qiao Wanjun became slightly interested.

"Ah... what’s that!" Lu Ran thought it was terrible, but then quickly came up with a bright idea, "After the Evil Spear Emperor is defeated, Yan Chou will also be a first-class Evil God."

Jiang Ruyi glanced at Lu Ran, her lips slightly curled up.

"I humbly ask the Young Master to withdraw the order, Chou Nu would not dare to be on par with the Sect Master." From behind, Yan Chou’s stone sculpture bowed his head and said in a deep voice.

Lu Ran snorted, "Having someone to back you really makes a difference, huh? Before, everything I said was final."

"Young, Young Master! It’s not, I..."

"Oh, come on, I’m just joking with you! Come on, accompany me for a few more rounds!"

"As you command!"

With that, one person and one sculpture quickly left, Qiao Wanjun’s eyes twinkled, looking at Jiang Ruyi.

Jiang Ruyi’s heart tightened, slowly lowering her eyes.

Four thousand one hundred words, during double time, I seek some ticket support~
