Before Luo Ran'er could think further, a massive thunderbolt struck from the sky.

Linghu Lan watched indifferently, silently praying that Luo Ran'er would be strong and that Lei wouldn't kill her so easily.

Lightning struck Luo Ran'er, causing her to convulse reflexively. She glared venomously at Linghu Lan and said, word by word, "Between the two of us, it's either you die or I live. For you, I don't mind turning into the thing I hate most."

"You have courage!" Linghu Lan said calmly.

Another bolt of lightning struck.

The whole "ghost wall" thing started and I felt like I was about to collapse.

Linghu Lan suddenly realized that if the "ghost wall" was a truly evil entity, then in fact, the power of heavenly lightning it endured was far greater than that of Luo Ran'er.

The third bolt of lightning rolled down, and just as it was about to strike Luo Ran'er, a figure flew out from outside and pounced on Luo Ran'er, taking the brunt of the lightning for her.

Linghu Lan looked closely and saw Chunyu Xunfeng?

At this moment, Chunyu Xunfeng was dressed as a Taoist priest, looking elegant and unrestrained. He was tall and strong, protecting Luo Ran'er, which made him very likable at first glance.

Linghu Lan felt somewhat helpless. Sure enough, the protagonist wasn't so easy to kill.

The fourth and fifth bolts of heavenly lightning followed one after another. Chunyu Xunfeng coldly glanced at Linghu Lan, made a hand seal, and took out a whip-like object from his bosom.

The tip of the whip seemed to attract lightning, which was instantly drawn to the tip, moving east or west as the whip pointed.

Chunyu Xunfeng reacted quickly, suddenly lashing out with his whip, and a bolt of lightning flew towards Linghu Lan.

Linghu Lan: "..."

She calmly attached a lightning rod to herself and silently waited for the lightning to strike.

However, at the very moment the lightning struck, the previously steady Ghost Wall suddenly shrank into a ball, blocking Linghu Lan's path, and was instantly shattered by the lightning.

The change happened so fast that Linghu Lan was completely stunned: had she just been protected by a ghost wall?

Chunyu Xunfeng gave Linghu Lan a cold look, his eyes mirroring Luo Ran'er's, conveying the same two words: ghost!

Linghu Lan: "..."

She can't clear her name no matter how hard she tries, since she was definitely protected by the ghost wall just now.

Thunder still rolled down from the sky. Chunyu Xunfeng dared not linger. Holding Luo Ran'er, he said coldly, "Chunyu Xunfeng of the Myriad Paths Sect will come to learn from you another day!"

Linghu Lan knew this was a way of leaving her mark, a chance to get revenge later. What should she say? "Wenmo from Wenjia Village awaits your arrival"? That would be too unimpressive!

She smiled and said calmly, "Zhao Zilong of Changshan awaits your arrival."

Chunyu Xunfeng was taken aback. Zhao Zilong? It sounded like a man's name.

He didn't have time to think, and lightning struck immediately. He didn't have the ability to activate the lightning whip a second time, so he disappeared with Luo Ran'er in a flash.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Linghu Lan's lightning tracking ability. No matter where he hid, the lightning could always accurately find his trail and strike him and Luo Ran'er. He could only scream and run away.

So, this is what the passersby saw: a bolt of lightning seemed to be targeting something, and that thing was quite clever, spinning the lightning around in circles. The lightning, as if it had a mind of its own, always managed to strike it.
