Chapter 164: 164

Chapter 164: Li Ran must be a demon!

Sheng Anyi’s mind went blank.

Who was Li Ran?

The Sheng Zi of Youluo Temple, the number one on the Heavenly Devil Rankings. After taking the lead in breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he had become the publicly acknowledged number one genius in the Vast Land!

Although he wasn’t a scoundrel who would kill like a numb person, his deeds were shocking enough.

He was a demon among demons, a vicious person among vicious people!

Sheng Anyi swallowed her saliva and muttered, “Zhixia, although the Sheng Clan is neutral, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to find such a devil to fall in love with?”

The Flood Dragon Princess was the trump card of the Sheng Clan. She was deeply loved by the commoners and could be said to be an idol.

But she had fallen in love with the Devil Sheng Zi?

She felt that something was strange.

Sheng Zhixia shook her head and said, “First of all, Li Ran and I are not in that kind of relationship. It’s just that something happened… It’s just a misunderstanding.

“Second, Li Ran isn’t the person you think he is.-“

Sheng Anyi was puzzled. “What kind of person?”

Sheng Zhixia said seriously, “Sister, do you know that the beast tide has attacked South Wind City?”

Sheng Anyi nodded. “I’ve heard that the situation is extremely critical. Fortunately, the disciples of the sects took action, otherwise, I’m afraid they’ll suffer.”

Sheng Zhixia replied, “The one who led everyone to resist the beast tide was Li Ran.”

“It’s him?”

Sheng Anyi was stunned.

She had always thought that it would be Lin Langyue or Yue Jianli. After all, they were the leaders of the Righteous disciples.

Sheng Zhixia said, “It’s him. He alone blocked the beast tide, saved dozens of cultivators, and personally killed the Thunder Lion.

“Lin Langyue told me personally that if Li Ran hadn’t been here, they wouldn’ t have been able to stop the beast tide, and that hundreds of thousands of people in South Wind City would have become demon beast rations!”

Sheng Anyi’s eyes were wide-eyed with astonishment.

Her sister would not joke about such a thing.

Could it be that the devil Li Ran was also a savior of the world?

Sheng Zhixia’s eyes glowed as she said softly, “Although he’s acting arrogantly and recklessly, he’s also a thoroughly bad guy… However, I have my own bottom line. He is righteous and also magnanimous. He is much stronger than those hypocrites.”

Sheng Anyi looked at her sister and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

From the looks of it, she was truly trapped!

Dong dong dong.

At this moment, the door was slightly knocked.

“Come in!” Sheng Zhixia snapped back to her senses.

A palace maid walked in and bowed. “This servant greets Princess Flood Dragon and Princess Jinyun.”

“What is it?”

The palace maid replied, “Your Majesty wants you to go to Qianyuan Palace to meet the Saint.”

Sheng Zhixia was stunned. “Imperial Father has come out of seclusion? He must have asked about the beast tide, and I have something to report.”

She stood up and the palace maid came to tidy up her clothes and hair.

“Big sister, I’ll go see Father first.”

She left quickly after saying that.

Sheng Anyi looked at her back with a complicated and helpless expression.

“Little Zhixia has someone he likes. I’m quite happy, but he’s the Shen Zi of a Devil Sect…

“Li Ran? If there’s a chance, I really want to see him. Just what kind of person would be able to lure Little Zhixia’s heart?”

Qian Yuan Palace…

The sky above the hall was empty. Other than the tall figure on the dragon throne, there was no one else.

Emperor Sheng Ye sat on the high platform and looked out the window with a deep gaze.

“Li Wuqiang attacked… It really is rare. This old fellow actually stopped pretending to be dead?

“Judging from his aura, he should be an elder of the Supreme Dao Palace. Tsk tsk, he’s getting bolder.”

Even though his thoughts were racing, his face remained expressionless, like a cold rock.

At this moment, footsteps sounded.

“Your son pays his respects to Imperial Father. May Imperial Father rest in peace.”

Sheng Ye looked at Sheng Zhixia below the stage, a trace of pampering flashing through his eyes. “Get up.”

“Yes, Imperial Father.”

Sheng Zhixia stood up.

Sheng Ye said indifferently, “What’s the result of your trip to the southern border?”

“Reporting to Imperial Father. The Beast Tide was blocked by the sect disciples, and it didn’t break through the defensive line. No one in South Wind City was killed,” replied Sheng Zhixia.

Sheng Ye nodded. “I already know about this.”

Sheng Zhixia continued, “The beast tide was caused by Yu Ye, an expert of the Yin Corpse Dao. He attempted to refine a Heavenly Tribulation corpse puppet, causing the Grand Myriad Mountain demon beasts to riot.”

She then presented a document.

It recorded all the details of this investigation.

Sheng Ye slowly flipped through it.

Sheng Zhixia said from the side, “This one has attached a list of people participating in the battle against the beast tide. They are all heroes of our human race. They should be announced to the world and rewarded accordingly.”

Sheng Ye did not say anything and silently finished reading the document.

After a long time, he said, “You’re right. They are indeed human heroes and should be praised by the world.”

“The Imperial Father is wise!” Sheng Zhixia was delighted.

“But,

“There’s a problem with your name list. Why are there the names of Youluo Temple, Joyous Unity Sect, and other Devil Sects on it?”

“Because they’ve all joined in the battle against the beast tide!” Sheng Zhixia was puzzled. “This is especially the case for the Devil Sect’s Sheng Zi, Li Ran. He’s even more outstanding. This is something that everyone has witnessed.”

Sheng Ye shook his head. “The Devil Dao is the Devil Dao. How could he become a hero? You remembered wrong.”

Sheng Zhixia shook her head, “Your daughter is certain that there isn’t…”

“You remember wrongly.”

Sheng Ye interrupted.

Sheng Zhixia stopped, “Imperial Father?”

Sheng Ye frowned. “It seems you’ve forgotten what I said last time.

“The Devil Dao is the Devil Dao, and the Righteous Path is the Righteous Path. The Righteous and Devil will never stop fighting. Only then will the Sheng Clan be able to stay in this iron bucket.

“Now that you’ve made Li Ran your greatest hero, what would the world think? Was the Youluo Temple still a devil sect?’

“If the boundaries between the Righteous and Devils are blurred, I’m afraid that the order of the Vast Land will be changed!”

His voice reverberated throughout the hall, and it carried an unquestionable dignity.

Sheng Zhixia was silent for a long time before she said in a low voice, “Then what do you think, Imperial Father?”

Sheng Ye said, “Of course we still have to announce it to the world, but we have to cancel all the names of the Devil Dao and change the leader to Lin Langyue.”

“Imperial Father!” Sheng Zhixia called out.

She hadn’t expected Sheng Ye to be so ruthless. He had killed all the merits of the Devil Dao!

“Could it be that Imperial Father isn’t afraid of Leng Wuyan causing trouble?” she asked anxiously.

Sheng Ye sneered, “The one who stole Li Ran’s credit is the Tianshu Institute. If she wants to find trouble with Yi Qinglan, what does it have to do with me?”

Sheng Zhixia was stunned. She looked at Sheng Ye in disbelief, her eyes somewhat unfamiliar.

“Your daughter absolutely doesn’t agree…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Sheng Ye’s figure had already disappeared from the main hall.

He didn’t even give her a chance to speak.

Sheng Ye said, “Send an invitation to Tianshu Institute and invite Sect Leader Yi Qinglan to attend the ceremony. I believe she will be very satisfied with the result.”

“Understood, Your Majesty!”

A voice came from the corner, and the hall fell silent.

“Yi Qinglan…”

Sheng Ye’s smile was cold. “She should hate Li Ran, right? Thank you very much this time!”

Li family mansion, in the bedroom…

Looking at the three young ladies in front of him, Li Ran couldn’t help but feel like they were fighting.

He said cautiously, “How about… I’ll sleep by myself today?”

“No way!” The three of them spoke in unison.

Li Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Qin Ruyan. “Why are you joining in?!”

Qin Ruyan smiled and said, “This servant is best at warming the bed. Do you want to experience it?”

Feeling the two murderous gazes beside him, he couldn’t help but cry.

“Thank you so much!”
