Chapitre 24: Chapter 24: It's Over, I Slipped!
The cold north wind howled on the streets, and the air seemed to freeze.
However, the hearts of the people were even colder than this chilling wind.
"That person, could he be Li Ran?" someone exclaimed in disbelief.
Liu Sheng gave a bitter smile and said, "Born in the Hidden Gauze Sect, young in age but strong in cultivation. Apart from the Hidden Gauze Sect Holy Son, who else could it be?"
"Hiss!"
Everyone felt like they were in an ice cellar.
Li Ran, the Holy Son of the Hidden Hauze Sect.
With unparalleled talent, he was born with Dao patterns on his body.
At the age of eight, he entered the Hidden Gauze Sect; at twelve, he completed foundation building; and at seventeen, he reached the Golden Core realm.
Such terrifying cultivation speed was rarely seen in the entire land, making him a reincarnation of a great emperor!
He was the heir of Leng Wuyan, the future master of Hidden Gauze Sect. Given time, he would undoubtedly become a super demon lord that would shake the land!
He was also a focus of attention for various major sects.
Who would have thought that Wang Yue's drunken talk would lead to the involvement of such a figure!
Wang Yue's death was well-deserved!
Liu Sheng stood up and said first, "This feud between the Hidden Gauze Sect and the Wang family has nothing to do with my Liu family. Everyone, I bid you farewell!"
He turned around to leave.
Others quickly responded.
"Neither my Zhang family nor I have any involvement!"
"The Sun family too, I barely knew Wang Yue!"
"I was just passing through tonight; the Meng family had no part in this!"
...
They had just been sharing drinks and discussing cooperation with Wang Yue, but now they wanted to distance themselves from the situation.
The Wang family was surely doomed, but they didn't want to be buried alongside them.
After all, that was the Hidden Gauze Sect!
Even if all the families in Cold Wind City were tied together, they wouldn't match a single hair of Hidden Gauze Sect's strength!
"You bunch of old dogs! You were just flattering the young master earlier, and now that something has happened, you want to shift the blame?!" Wang Yue's bodyguards scolded angrily.
They had come from Wood Rain City to ensure Wang Yue's safety.
Now that something had happened to him, they were bound to face severe consequences should the news reach the Wang Family.
"I will report to the patriarch truthfully! Get ready for the Wang family's punishment!" the leader of the guards said sternly.
The people froze in place, exchanging meaningful glances.
"Li Ran, with your strength and the backing behind you, you can disregard thedanger that Wang family can do, but for us, this is indeed a considerable trouble." Liu Sheng sighed.
"Hmph, it's good to know you're scared!" the guard leader said, satisfied with himself.
The people ignored him and continued their own conversations.
"So, this matter absolutely cannot be leaked."
"I agree, I propose an idea, how about we silence them?"
"Zhang family agrees."
"Sun family agrees."
"Meng family..."
Hearing their words, the guard leader was taken aback, "What... what do you all mean?"
"What are you waiting for? Let's take action," Liu Sheng said with a sinister smile.
"Make sure none of themleaves this city alive!"
Blood sprayed, and the empty street echoed with cries once again.
...
Li Ran returned to the sect and took a hot bath under Ah Qin's service.
Today marked the first time he had killed someone since crossing over.
But he wasn't being overly dramatic; he felt it was only natural.
This was a chaotic world, where the clean were rare and the corrupt were common—a world where the strong preyed on the weak.
Survival required countless reasons, but killing only required one.
And Wang Yue truly deserved to die.
When the system assigned the mission, it displayed the evil deeds Wang Yue had committed. "Full of evil" was an understatement for describing his actions.
Of course, Li Ran wasn't interested in being a righteous avenger.
Even without the mission that the system had given to him, Wang Yue would have died today!
He mentally summoned the system.
[Mission Completed.]
[Mission Completion: Perfect.]
[Obtained High-level Treasure Chest 1.]
Li Ran opened the treasure chest.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the divine skill "Demonic Light-Dispelling Fist"!]
"A divine skill?" His heart skipped a beat.
This was the first time he had received a divine skill reward.
He carefully read the prize description:
Demonic Light-Dispelling Fist, the unparalleled divine skill of the Buddhist Sect.
When fully activated, arms radiate golden light, fingers become like wheels, and fists emit radiant brilliance!
With a single punch, it can both repel demons and make gods tremble!
It's a powerful tool for both everyday use and demon-slaying!
"Such a great thing!"
Li Ran was very satisfied.
He extended his right hand, activated the divine skill, and his palm immediately radiated intense white light, illuminating the room like daylight.
His right hand appeared semi-transparent, allowing him to see the bones and blood vessels beneath the flesh—almost as if it were made of white jade!
"Wow, so impressive," Ah Qin clapped excitedly. "Holy Son, what's the name of this move?"
Li Ran increased the brightness by three levels and then waved his hand, extinguishing the white light.
"This move? This move is called flashlight."
"Wow, what a powerful flashlight!"
"Oh?"
Li Ran was curious, "Ah Qin, Can you understand this move?"
Ah Qin shook her head, looking serious. "I can't understand it, but the divine skill of the Holy Son must be the most powerful kind."
"..."
Li Ran couldn't help but suppress his laughter and pinched her small face. "You really are a blindly devoted fan."
"Hehe."
Ah Qin's smile was innocent and sweet.
Although she didn't understand what being a "fan" meant, this interaction made her very happy.
"By the way, Holy Son, you came back really late today. Were you practicing all this time?" She asked while massaging.
Li Ran leaned comfortably in the tub and casually answered, "No, tonight I had a date with the Sect Master."
"A date with the Sect Master?"
Ah Qin looked at him in a daze.
Li Ran: ┌(.д.)┐
Damn, I slipped!
