Chapter 279: The old clan leader appears. What is a world master? Benefits and promises
"ah……"
A shrill scream was heard, and several people who had smuggled in with the burly old man were swept up by the mighty gale. They were killed at the first sight, their body and soul were destroyed, and nothing was left.
They are not creatures of this world. The moment their souls were exposed, they were crushed by the invisible and terrifying force in the dark, and even their traces were completely wiped out.
"you……"
The burly old man's expression changed again and again, and he grabbed Luo Guyun's body and quickly retreated and dodged.
But the next moment, a ray of extremely bright silver light flew out from Luo Guyun's chest, hit his palm with a puff, and instantly caused his entire arm to explode.
A blurry shadow appeared and disappeared in the silver light. It looked like an extremely tall and sturdy old man with black hair like a waterfall and a face with traces of weathering. He looked majestic without even getting angry.
Luo Guyun was stunned by this sudden scene. After seeing the blurry shadow clearly, he couldn't help but tremble slightly. His eyes gradually turned red and he murmured, "Grandfather..."
This figure was exactly the old patriarch of the Shi clan in his memory, the father of his biological mother.
The kind old man who left the Jiekong Pei to him.
"I didn't expect that you still have an obsession in this guy's body, but it's in vain. In this world, once your aura is revived, it will be immediately expelled and wiped out by the world's will. You can't protect him."
The burly old man stared at the blurry shadow with a cold gaze and recognized its identity.
He himself did not come in his real body, but used various secret methods to wrap his soul with his spiritual will and smuggled into this world. He was unable to display his full strength at all.
The blurry figure in front of him was obviously the incarnation of the obsession that the old patriarch of the Shi clan left in Luo Guyun's body to save his life at the critical moment.
If it were outside the realm, it is estimated that he could exert one tenth of his full power, comparable to a supreme figure.
But now, at most he can be comparable to a saint, or even worse. Once he exceeds a certain limit, he will attract the attention of the will of heaven and earth in this world and be expelled and wiped out.
The huge crack in the void healed slowly, and a slender figure stepped out from it and stood quietly beside Murong Qiutang.
"Jiang Lan..."
She survived the disaster and was also somewhat relieved that Jiang Lan showed up in time, otherwise she really couldn't imagine what would have happened.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
"No one can hurt you."
Jiang Lan said softly to comfort her, reaching out to gently embrace Murong Qiutang, whose delicate body was still trembling slightly.
Murong Qiutang clenched his sleeves with her delicate hands, her face was pale. This was the first time in her life that she encountered such a critical situation, and she had not yet recovered from the crisis.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble..." She couldn't help but say guiltily.
"Don't say that. Given our relationship, your business is my business. How can I just stand by and let you get into danger?"
"Besides, this guy has an idea that he shouldn't have. My woman is not someone he can covet."
Jiang Lan shook his head and then looked away with a cold look.
He actually wanted to continue watching the show, but a man of fortune like Luo Guyun would obviously not die here so easily. He would definitely have some life-saving methods at the critical moment.
Instead of letting Luo Guyun act as a hero to save the beauty and win her heart, it would be better for him to do it himself.
Jiang Lan's original plan was to wait for Luo Guyun to be captured by these people and then secretly intercept him, but now it seems that this method is not feasible.
Although the situation is critical now, Murong Qiutang's heart trembled slightly when she heard Jiang Lan say this, and she couldn't help but feel moved.
She pursed her moist and delicate red lips, her eyes seemed to sparkle with crystal clear autumn water, and suddenly she buried her head in Jiang Lan's arms.
Luo Guyun, who was staring at the blurry figure in the void not far away, naturally knew that Jiang Lan had appeared.
Hearing what the two were saying at this moment, and then turning around to see Murong Qiutang's actions, he was stunned and his expression became very unnatural.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, it was indeed Jiang Lan who suddenly appeared and rescued Murong Qiutang.
He could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything, and even shamefully asked Murong Qiutang for help...
At this moment, Luo Guyun's face was burning, he felt a little ashamed, but more of it was humiliation.
He seemed to understand why Murong Qiutang treated Jiang Lan in this way...
Indeed, not many women can resist the charm of a man who can be relied upon at critical moments.
"Grandfather..." Luo Guyun clenched his fists, suppressed his unwillingness, and looked at the blurry figure in the void.
"Lonely Cloud..."
The old patriarch of the Shi clan was just the incarnation of a wisp of obsession, but he had achieved great cultivation during his lifetime. After closing his eyes for a short while, he quickly understood the current situation.
The purple-gold vertical eye between his eyebrows suddenly opened, and wisps of chaotic mist surged, causing the surrounding void to silently collapse and disintegrate.
"Someone from the Sky Devouring Clan..."
His eyes were frighteningly cold, filled with boundless chill, and he stared at the burly old man over there.
"The most difficult one now is this guy. His talent is so terrifying. If he was born outside the realm and trained by an immortal family, or was personally guided by a realm master, he would probably be at least a supreme figure..."
The burly old man frowned, his face as gloomy as water. What he feared most now was Jiang Lan who appeared here.
Just from the fight just now, he understood Jiang Lan's approximate strength, which was definitely not inferior to that of an ordinary human saint.
At the age of just over 20, he already has such terrifying cultivation. Even if the Immortal Family put all their resources into cultivating him, it would be impossible for such a person to appear.
Moreover, this happened in a realm where resources and life-giving substances were extremely scarce, and all the inherited methods of cultivation had disappeared or been cut off. This was simply unbelievable.
"Shi Zhongtian, the Shi clan has been destroyed. Even if you still have a trace of obsession, what can you do? Your Shi clan should never, ever offend the Lord of the Realm."
He looked at the incarnation of the obsession of the old patriarch of the Shi clan who appeared in the void and sneered cruelly.
The arm that had just exploded recovered, and the dim oil lamp reappeared, flickering with light, and there seemed to be bursts of wailing coming out, which was creepy.
"These are all members of your Shi Clan. Take a look at what they look like..."
"You're looking for death."
Seeing this scene, the old patriarch of the Shi clan felt a surge of coldness and murderous intent, but he quickly suppressed it, as if he had guessed the intention of the burly old man.
"Haha, it seems you are not stupid..."
The burly old man felt a little regretful.
He originally wanted to anger the old patriarch of the Shi clan, causing his aura to exceed the limit, thereby attracting the attention of the will of heaven and earth in this world and eradicating him. However, it was obvious that the old patriarch of the Shi clan had already known some of the situations in this world through some means due to his obsession.
"Shi Zhongtian, your obsession can't deal with me. If you are more sensible, you can hand over your grandson to the Lord of the Realm. The Lord of the Realm is magnanimous and may only detain him for a few hundred years and then release him to continue the incense of your Shi clan, so as to avoid the extinction of your descendants and complete annihilation in the long river of time."
The old patriarch of the Shi clan was named Shi Zhongtian, which was no secret in the ancient world of Amitabha, so he called him by his name, his words full of contempt.
Luo Guyun's face looked ugly, filled with both anger and powerlessness.
Shi Zhongtian was indeed a man who once ruled the Immortal Family. He was not angry at the words of the burly old man, but said indifferently, "You are just a person who sneaked in from outside the world. Once this body disintegrates, you will surely die. You can't do anything to me either."
He already knew the condition of the burly old man's body.
It can be said that the other party and his incarnation of obsession are actually in similar conditions. Both are unable to exert their true strength and are suppressed by the will of heaven and earth.
"My lord, it is not wise to offend a Realm Lord for a mere fugitive from outside the Realm. The saints of this Realm must have told you how great and supreme a Realm Lord is."
"If you help us capture the remnants of our clan and send them back to the outside world, you will definitely gain the favor and kindness of a world master. At that time, the world master of our world will also send gifts to thank us."
"The clan behind this boy has long been destroyed. Now he is worse than those losers, or even worse than the rats hiding in the stinking ditch. Helping him will not do you any good."
The burly old man ignored Shi Zhongtian and looked at Jiang Lan.
In his opinion, Jiang Lan is the most critical factor affecting the current situation. With his help and intervention, the other party will definitely be defeated.
"Are you talking to me?" Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"Sir, why should you misunderstand me because of my actions just now?"
The burly old man thought that Jiang Lan did not understand why he was the Realm Master, and said with admiration and respect, "The Realm Master will live forever. The sky will decay, but he will not die. With one thought, the world will be born, and with one thought, the world will be destroyed. With one hand, he pierced through the universe and the heavens, sweeping across the past and present. The so-called saints are nothing more than dust like the sands of the Ganges in the eyes of the Realm Master. He can destroy countless people with just a breath."
"The kindness and favor of a Realm Lord is something that countless great figures in the world of the universe desire but cannot obtain in their entire lives."
Even though the ancient world of Amitabha was so far away from the inner world, separated by so many times, spaces and dimensions, his words still did not conceal his respect for the Lord of that world.
"Jiang Lan..."
Hearing this, Murong Qiutang raised her head, and her eyes, which seemed to be filled with autumn water, could not help but look at Jiang Lan.
Her heart was actually trembling slightly.
When the burly old man with a mysterious origin spoke of what kind of existence the Realm Lord was, she couldn't help but feel suffocated and powerless.
Even the invincible saint who swept across the nine provinces, in his eyes, could destroy countless dust with just a breath of his wind.
She couldn't even imagine how terrifying and horrible a true world master would be...
And if Jiang Lan wants to help Luo Guyun now, it means that he will offend such an unpredictable and unimaginable existence.
If it weren't for her, Jiang Lan probably wouldn't even think about it and would just refuse...
"sorry……"
Murong Qiutang knew that she had put Jiang Lan in a dilemma and entanglement.
Luo Guyun clenched his fists even tighter, feeling unprecedented humiliation. His life and death now depended on Jiang Lan.
But he didn't have the courage to refuse directly...
The blood feud he carries does not allow him to be taken back out of the world.
"So what if he is the Realm Master? He is still a despicable person who robs and robs people and makes up excuses. He covets the treasures left by our ancestors and deliberately imposes crimes on us. As the saying goes, you can always find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime."
"This world is the foundation of the heavens and the origin of all worlds. Even the world master cannot come in. What you said is just a joke."
Shi Zhongtian said with a cold face.
The burly old man sneered, "Ants also want to see the sky. Do you really think that the Lord of the Realm cannot enter this realm? It's just that he is constrained by the timing and doesn't want to be contaminated by the great cause and effect and cause endless disasters. The power and greatness of the Lord of the Realm are simply beyond your comprehension and imagination."
After that, he looked at Jiang Lan again, and continued with a serious tone, "Sir, she is just a woman, why bother?"
"If you like, Lord Realm Lord's youngest daughter, who has unparalleled talent and beauty, has been sealed until now and was born in this world. With your talent, you are completely worthy of the young lady. Lord Realm Lord will personally promise to marry the young lady to you. Isn't this a thousand times more outstanding than this ordinary woman in front of you?"
"There is a world master protecting you. Young master, you may be the new world master born in this era, the new common master of all worlds."
It must be said that the words spoken by the burly old man made Murong Qiutang feel an irresistible excitement.
If it were someone else, they would probably agree without even thinking about it.
A protector of a world master? And betrothed to his daughter?
Who in the world can resist such temptation?
"You, the Sky Devouring Clan, are just lackeys of the Realm Master. Are you able to make decisions for him? Haha, with this young man's talent, the Realm Master's daughter is probably not worthy of him. The world will change drastically, and catastrophes will come. The Realm Master will be unable to take care of himself. This young man grew up in this world. As long as he practices step by step in the future, it is inevitable that he will become a Realm Master. As for the Realm Master behind you, as the Realm Source is exhausted and the Five Decays come early, it is still unclear whether he can live to that time..."
Shi Zhongtian said coldly and interrupted in time. He was actually worried that Jiang Lan would help the burly old man. In this case, no matter how capable he was, he would not be able to protect Luo Guyun.
The burly old man's eyes were filled with coldness, and he was about to speak.
"After talking for so long, you seem to have forgotten one thing. From now on, my words count in this world. What your world master should consider is whether he will offend me. If he knows what's good for him, he can send his daughter to serve me for a few years. Maybe he can even win my kindness."
Jiang Lan interrupted him lightly.
Then, he seemed to not want to continue talking nonsense, and the big hand that he had just stretched out appeared again, covering the space where the burly old man was standing.
In the void, divine clouds surged into the sky, and a huge golden hand slapped down, with wisps of chaotic mist escaping from between its fingers. This was the true manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth, and it was as grand and majestic as if it really existed.
"you……"
"You have no idea what the consequences will be if you offend the Realm Master..."
The burly old man's expression suddenly changed. The person he feared most was Jiang Lan.
Without even thinking about it, a silver cone came through the air and blocked it like a bolt of lightning.
At the same time, a mysterious plant appeared in his palm, absorbing the energy of the virtual space and transforming into ancient cage-like runes, which flew forward while spinning.
"Okay, thank you for your help, I will definitely repay you later."
Seeing this, Shi Zhongtian knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he took a big step forward. The void was buzzing, and like an angry wave, he rushed towards the burly old man with the hatred of their clan.
In an instant, the time and space here were distorted. The palace originally existed, but it was blurred by the power of this alien time and space, and the real world was changed.
"Nine Destruction Heaven Diagram, appear."
The burly old man roared angrily, and above his head, a rotating ancient sky map appeared, with a waterfall-like texture hanging down. The light of the killing array was shrouded, and it kept shooting in all directions. Billions of rune lights were shining and vibrated out immediately.
With a loud bang, the place exploded instantly.
The light emitted from the celestial map carried the aura of dissolving all things. Even the void became insubstantial, and real matter turned into smoke and dust. It was extremely terrifying.
The light and shadow behind Jiang Lan blurred, and a gap appeared. He sent Murong Qiutang into it, and then continued to join the battle.
Judging from the current situation, the only benefit that can be gained from today's events will still be from the clan elders and patriarchs at that time.
After all, this burly old man is just a member of the Sky Devouring Clan, not the real master of the realm. Even if he makes a promise, it is just an empty check.
As for offending a realm master, Jiang Lan didn't care at all. Who knows what might happen in the future.
Besides, just because he saves Luo Guyun now doesn’t mean he won’t attack him later.
The battle here was extremely fierce. The layers of void around were torn apart. At the back, the mountains and cliffs that appeared one after another were collapsing and destroying, and kept exploding.
Without any surprise, the burly old man had no chance of facing the combined forces of Jiang Lan and Shi Zhongtian. He was annihilated into the void with hatred and anger.
