This is the martial arts world, what are you cultivators interfering in?

Chapter 159 Anyone who dares to lay a finger on her deserves to be punished!

"Brother-in-law...no, it can't be!"

Lin Ruobing was startled when she saw Li Lan bound, but then she shook her head and bit her lower lip, saying, "My brother-in-law is dead, killed by the Mingzun Demon Soul..."

"You think you can break down the barriers in my heart? Absolutely not... I still need to find a way to revive him; I cannot die yet."

Her words were resolute, yet she couldn't help but stare at Li Lan, this figure, this face, which had haunted her dreams for so many years. Even though she felt that everything before her was just an illusion created by Nan Chuan, tears welled up in her eyes, and she murmured:

"Brother-in-law, I miss you so much..."

Looking at Lin Ruobing, Li Lan felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

According to rumors in the immortal realm, Lin Ruobing has appeared several times, but always in search of a way to resurrect the dead. Now it seems that she... is actually doing this for Li Lan!

Has this silly girl been doing this all these years?

She was still the same as before, still stunningly beautiful, with flowing black hair, clear eyes like autumn water, and skin like jade, but she was no longer so innocent, and had gained some maturity and experience.

"Heh, you think this is an illusion?"

Nan Chuan sneered and said, "Li Lan didn't die. Didn't your sister tell you? It was Li Lan who caused the Mingzun Demon Soul to dissipate back then!"

"Otherwise, if the Netherworld Demon Soul still existed, why would we have waited until now? The Immortal Realm would have been completely destroyed long ago!"

He recounted the recent events one by one, going to great lengths to describe the details in order to convince Lin Ruobing.

Lin Ruobing was completely stunned.

He caused the Mingzun Demon Soul to perish, returned to the Immortal Realm, passed the Bloodline Immortal Barrier, founded the Abyss Clan, crossed the Dragon-Fighting Platform, suppressed the younger generation of the Northern Frontier, and even extracted the Primordial Divine Source...

She stared blankly at Li Lan, seemingly unable to believe it, yet also seemingly forced to accept it.

She had heard some news about the Yuan Clan, and she had also heard of Tu Tianlong's reputation.

Was all of this done by my brother-in-law?

But how could this be true? How could Li Lan possibly survive the attack of the Mingzun Demon Soul?

But how could all of this be fake? She firmly believed that only her brother-in-law could do these things!

"You will slowly feel it, witnessing with your own eyes the person you cherish most suffering the most extreme punishment in this world!"

Nan Chuan knew that Lin Ruobing had already accepted the fact that Li Lan was still alive, so he quietly retreated, but activated the array in the main hall.

Boom!

Instantly, countless miracles slowly coalesced, forming countless celestial blades.

These celestial blades contain bizarre power; once they strike, they cause the bloodline to collapse, resulting in excruciating pain. Moreover, immortal cultivators will be transformed into hideous monsters in indescribable ways...

All of this is absolutely enough to break down Lin Ruobing's mental defenses.

Lin Ruobing was the "vessel" he chose for his wife, but because Lin Ruobing's obsession was too strong, they had never been able to fully merge. Now, as long as Lin Ruobing's obsession loosens, his wife can take the opportunity to enter...

You will come back!

Outside the main hall, Nan Chuan spoke in a low voice.

"Having transformed into a spirit, I have forgotten everything from my past life, even your identity and your origins, but I still remember that you are my wife..."

Every alien spirit is a monster that has severed ties with its past.

But these monsters, more or less, retain the marks of the past.

Therefore, the eerie city was built so similarly to human cities, and even more so, all the eerie spirits eventually transformed into human form...

"Once you return, once the situation in the Immortal Realm is resolved, we can become human again, have children, and enjoy everything once more..."

A kind of fanatical fervor flashed in his eyes.

Born as an alien spirit... yet still yearning to be a living, breathing human being.

……

"Brother-in-law, is it really you?"

Inside the main hall, Lin Ruobing looked at Li Lan opposite her, but she trembled slightly!

She couldn't believe it!

She would always remember the image of Li Lan charging alone towards the Mingzun Demon Soul back then...

For so many years, she has been searching for a way to revive Li Lan.

But now, Li Lan is still alive?

She was afraid that none of this was real!

"How about we make a bet?" Li Lan suddenly smiled.

"If I master the True Dragon Technique within a month, you will accompany me to the bridal chamber..."

He spoke casually, but Lin Ruobing chuckled, and then burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Brother-in-law, it really is you...it really is you! Waaah!"

She first met Li Lan at Li Lan's wedding to her sister.

She took her sister's place in the wedding ceremony. In the bridal chamber, she gave Li Lan a severe beating. At that time, Li Lan had made a bet with her...

This bet was known only to her and Li Lan; it was a secret shared exclusively between them, unknown even to her sister.

Therefore, the person in front of me is Li Lan, there is absolutely no mistake.

"I miss you so much! Where have you been? Why haven't you come to see me? Waaah, you bad guy..."

She cried uncontrollably, like a wronged child who had finally found her parents, but at the same time, she was extremely anxious: "But how did you get caught by Nanchuan? We're doomed! We just saw you, and now we're both going to die!"

Li Lan said, "What's there to be afraid of? Last time I wasn't afraid of dying alone, and this time with you by my side, what do I have to be afraid of?"

"No!"

Lin Ruobing shook her head: "I don't want you to die anymore. I want you to live well. There are still so many things I want to do with you. You can't die!"

I won't let you die!

She gritted her teeth and tried her best to struggle, but the platform was too strong and she couldn't break free at all.

Fearing she might harm him, Li Lan didn't wait any longer. He suddenly unleashed his power, activated the Stone Clan's immortal technique, and a layer of stone skin appeared. Instantly, the chains formed by the strange power could no longer bind him, and he reached the Dao Platform in a single step.

"Brother-in-law...you..."

Lin Ruobing was surprised.

"If you won't let me die, then I won't die."

Li Lan smiled, gently stroked her hair, and looked up at the human skin hanging behind Lin Ruobing, but his eyes were cold.

"Trying to take her body, coveting her... deserves to die! Should be executed!"

Without hesitation, Li Lan raised his hand, and a powerful flame shot towards the human skin.

"No...you can't kill me! I was once a saintess of the human race, and I shed my last drop of blood for humanity..."

A mournful cry of resentment echoed: "I once fought against the strange, I was once a hero of humanity, why? Why must I perish... No!"

The human skin was suddenly set ablaze!

Li Lan's heart is as firm as a rock.

He certainly knew that all the strange corpses, strange spirits, etc., could be considered heroes in their lifetimes.

Once filled with passion, once charging headlong into the eerie, towards its source, but in the end, all that remained was a floating corpse adrift in the Black Sea, forgotten and forgotten...

Over countless years, some lingering thoughts allowed them to rise again from the gray mist. Some became alien corpses with only the will to kill and destroy, while a few transformed into entirely new gray mist creatures...

However, past achievements are by no means a shield for the present.

The hero is dead.

If those saints and heroes of yesteryear were to face these lingering remnants and these strange, newly born creatures, they would not hesitate to take action!

Having fought for humanity, how can I tolerate my lingering resentment causing chaos in future generations?

Li Lan had personally witnessed the Mingzun Demon Soul, so he knew that slaying these lingering resentments and strange spirits was not out of cold indifference or disregard for the past, but rather to be worthy of the sacrifices made by those heroes!

Then, Li Lan severed the restraints on Lin Ruobing's body.

"Brother-in-law!!"

Lin Ruobing burst into tears again. She couldn't wait to hug Li Lan, feeling the warmth emanating from him. This tangible feeling made her feel both at ease and excited.

She hugged him very tightly, as if afraid that Li Lan would disappear from her sight again.

Li Lan sighed softly, embraced Lin Ruobing, and gently stroked her hair.

"what--"

The human skin quickly turned to ashes, and a shrill scream rang out.

Outside the door.

Prince Nanchuan, who was anxiously waiting, was startled when he heard the scream.

"what happened?"

He hurriedly pushed open the door and stepped back into the main hall.

Then, he was immediately filled with extreme shock and anger!

"what?!"

He saw the human skin that had been burned to ashes, and he also saw Li Lan and Lin Ruobing, who had broken free of their restraints and were embracing each other.

"You...you dared to kill my wife!?"

Nan Chuan's voice trembled, and his eyes were filled with unparalleled heartache. Then, this pain immediately turned into unspeakable anger!

"You...you all deserve to die!"

His eyes were blazing with fury, and he charged straight at Li Lan!

……

"Li Lan's physical body is an absolute treasure to the Feather King. He is a human who has successfully cultivated the True Dragon Technique..."

Somewhere, the Southern King and the Qi King were still playing chess. The Southern King said, "He is capable of withstanding the power of alienation. The reason why the Feather King has been looking for him for so many years is nothing more than this."

King Qi did not continue the discussion. Instead, he asked, "Even if the Supreme Immortal Emperor were truly willing to sacrifice the entire Immortal Realm for the sake of the Gray Mist's power, there are still too few people in the Immortal Realm who can meet the conditions for mutation."

"Li Lan, there's only one of her kind."

The Southern King smiled leisurely, "The Supreme Immortal Emperor will naturally arrange all of this... He has already begun to contact those forbidden beings from the Primordial Era who left the Immortal Realm."

"Humanity is weak, but if we can get help from the forbidden beings of the primordial era, what difficulty is there in undergoing mutation?"

The King of Qi couldn't help but nod.

"Something terrible has happened!"

At this moment, an old spirit rushed over to report, "King Nan, something terrible has happened!"

The Prince of Nan looked displeased and asked, "What important matter is it?"

The old spirit said, "Li Lan has escaped and even kidnapped the Crown Prince of Nanchuan. Now he claims he wants the two kings..."

The Southern King's face suddenly turned cold: "What do you want us to do?"

"The two kings must go and pay their respects to him!"

The old alien spirit lowered his head, fearing the wrath of the two kings!

"Hahaha……"

But the Prince of Nan laughed instead, though his laughter was clearly tinged with anger. He said, "Prince Qi, you were right. This Li Lan is indeed not someone that Nan Chuan can handle!"

"However, he is far too arrogant!"

"Let's go deal with this kid first, then we can play chess, shall we?"

King Qi rose and said calmly, "This boy... is indeed somewhat interesting."
