After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

"The last chess piece that Meng Po left in the mortal world."

Zhou Ran did not touch the tea.

"Meng Po was quite busy before she died."

Sha Hua said calmly, "She has guarded this place for 30,000 years, so naturally she wouldn't leave only one path."

Zhou Ran looked at her.

Sha Hua continued, "Lin Qingxue's eyes were not taken away by the Moon Emperor."

Zhou Ran's eyes darkened slightly.

"It was Meng Po who took it away on her own initiative."

The temperature in the cabin dropped sharply.

Frost forms on the surface of the teacup.

Sha Hua's fingers stiffened slightly, but she didn't stop talking.

Before Meng Po disappeared, she merged the source of the River of Oblivion with Lin Qingxue's Dharma Eye and sent her to the depths of the Underworld.

"That's the only way to save her."

Zhou Ran smiled.

"Even Meng Po has left, can we still borrow eyes?"

Shahua looked up: "Meng Po is no ordinary underworld official. She is the heart and will of the Heavenly Corpse, the source of the River of Oblivion. The contingency plans she left behind are beyond your imagination."

Zhou Ran nodded.

"That sounds reasonable."

Sha Hua's eyes relaxed.

"If you want to get Lin Qingxue's eyes back, do me a favor."

"explain."

"In the Fifth Court of the Underworld, there are still remnants of Yama's rebel army. They possess a remnant of the River of Oblivion. Clear them out for me, and I will tell you where the Dharma Eye is."

Zhou Ran picked up the teacup.

Shahua stared at his hand.

The teacup was still half an inch away from my lips.

Zhou Ran stopped.

"You have a question."

Shahua asked, "What?"

"Too hasty."

Sha Hua's gaze changed.

Zhou Ran put down his tea.

"If you were truly one of Meng Po's people, your first words wouldn't be about conditions."

"You'll ask first, how did Meng Po die?"

The cabin was quiet.

The river water lapped against the bottom of the boat.

a bit.

a bit.

Shahua's expression finally cracked.

Zhou Ran looked up.

The Purple-Gold Demon Eyes are activated.

The dim green lights in the cabin instantly faded.

The woman's meridians, bones, and blood were all reflected in Zhou Ran's eyes.

There was no trace of the River of Oblivion.

There is no origin of the red spider lily.

There was only a thin gray film attached to the surface of her heart.

The laws of the virtual realm have been modified.

The physical body was reassembled and stabilized.

Incomplete memory transfer.

Copycat.

Zhou Ran said softly, "The face is done well."

Shahua suddenly stepped back.

The walls of the ship's cabin cracked simultaneously.

Thin gray lines shot out from the wooden board, aiming at Zhou Ran's brow, heart, and dantian.

Zhou Ran raised his hand.

"stop."

All gray lines are fixed in mid-air.

It was less than an inch from his brow.

Shahua's pupils suddenly contracted.

Zhou Ran stood up.

"The trap is too old."

He clenched his fists.

The gray lines are breaking off inch by inch.

Outside the cabin, dozens of water columns rose from the river surface.

A dozen or so figures stood in the water column.

They were all dressed in black.

The entire face is that of a mandala flower.

If Fatty Wang were here, he'd definitely curse the wholesale market.

Zhou Ran didn't scold him.

He lifted his foot and stomped down.

The entire fishing boat sank.

The nascent soul opened its eyes in the dantian.

Zhou Ran spoke.

"Lying is not allowed here."

The rules in the cabin have changed.

Sha Hua's face turned deathly pale.

She opened her mouth to shout, but couldn't utter a lie.

Zhou Ran walked up to her.

"Who sent you?"

Shahua gritted her teeth.

Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

The gray membrane inside her body was flashing violently, indicating that it had begun to self-destruct.

Zhou Ran reached out and pressed his hand against her forehead.

"I don't have the habit of asking a second time."

The Purple Gold Law was infused.

The gray film was forcibly pressed down.

Shahua's whole body convulsed, and gray light darted around in his eyes.

"No... I can't say..."

"Then die."

Zhou Ran's tone was very flat.

A cracking sound came from Shahua's throat.

A dozen or so clones outside rushed in at the same time.

Zhou Ran did not turn around.

The Taihuang Black Blade slid out from the void.

A single, sweeping strike.

The river surface became calm.

Before the dozen or so clones could even get close to the fishing boat, they were sliced ​​open by the knife and turned into ash water that fell back into the river.

Shahua finally broke down.

"Xu...Xu Youwei..."

Zhou Ran paused, his fingers moving slightly.

Shahua curled up on the ground in agony.

"She sent me."

The only sound in the cabin was the boiling of tea.

Zhou Ran's eyes grew even colder.

Hsu Yu-Wei?

Wasn't she recuperating at the manor?

She had just escaped death from the altar, and the old soul of the Silver-Eyed One still lingered within her body.

Zhou Ran leaned down and stared at Sha Hua.

How did she contact you?

"Silver Eyes...she woke up once..."

Explain yourself.

Gray blood trickled from the corner of Shahua's eye.

"She said...she's going to the illusory realm...to retrieve her eyes..."

Zhou Ran's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Whose eyes?"

Shahua's lips trembled.

"Lin Qingxue's...is also her own..."

boom!

Shahua's head exploded.

Grey water splashed all over the cabin.

Zhou Ran stood still, not a single drop of liquid on her face.

Below the river's surface, a gray symbol quickly dissipated.

To silence them.

Clean and neat.

Zhou Ran turned and walked out of the cabin.

The fishing boat split open silently.

He took a step and disappeared from the dock.

next second.

Xiao Family Manor.

The door to the guest room where Xu Youwei stayed.

Qin San was guarding the door. When he saw Zhou Ran, he immediately stood up.

"Boss?"

Zhou Ran did not stop.

He kicked the door open.

boom!

The wooden door slammed against the wall.

The room was empty.

The bed was neatly made.

The windows were closed.

The formation was not destroyed.

There was a note on the table.

Zhou Ran walked over and picked it up.

The writing on the paper was very light.

But it's very stable.

"Zhou Ran, I'm going to the Void Realm to find my eyes. Don't look for me."

Where the last stroke landed, there was a drop of silver blood.

Chapter 415 The Heavenly Corpse is enraged, the seven-day countdown to the destruction of the world begins!

No one spoke in the room.

Qin San stood at the door, his face grim.

Zhou Ran held the note in her hand.

The knuckles are turning white little by little.

Xu Youwei is at the Golden Core stage.

He ventured alone into the virtual world.

That's not courage.

That's called sending someone to their death.

What's more troublesome is that the old soul of the silver-eyed man is still inside her.

That thing had seen this world and remembered Yue Zhao.

Whether it seeks the Eyes or the Moon Emperor, no one dares to gamble.

Zhou Ran closed his eyes.

We must not act rashly.

The more anxious you are, the easier it is to be led by the nose.

He turned around.

"Gather everyone."

Three minutes later.

Underground conference room.

Li Zhiyao, Wang Pangzi, Xiao Rou, Qin San, Chen Ya, Xiao Hongli, Su Qingling, and Su Qingwu all arrived.

Lin Qingxue also arrived.

She sat in a chair, her eyes covered with white silk.

Her complexion was better than it was at night.

But my fingers are still cold.

Zhou Ran placed the note on the table.

After reading it, Fatty Wang's face turned green.

"Is she crazy?"

Qin San said, "He's not crazy."

Xiao Rou took the note and sniffed it.

"It has the scent of silver blood, and also the aura of the void."

Li Zhiyao looked at Zhou Ran.

"She wasn't taken away by someone."

"He walked away by himself."

Zhou Ran nodded.

"The formation wasn't broken, and the access control wasn't activated. She knows the patrol intervals inside the manor."

Chen Ya's face turned pale.

"It was the room I arranged."

"It's not your fault."

Zhou Ran looked at Li Zhiyao.

"motivation."

Li Zhiyao remained silent for a moment.

"The silver-eyed consciousness within her is devouring her."

"She must have noticed."

Fatty Wang gritted his teeth: "So she was afraid of being a burden to us, so she went to the virtual realm herself?"

Li Zhiyao nodded.

"There is another possibility."

"She heard about Lin Qingxue's Dharma Eye Source being taken away."

Lin Qingxue gently raised her head.

The meeting room fell silent.

Li Zhiyao continued, "She was sacrificed with the left eye of the Heavenly Corpse, and the old soul of the Silver-Eyed One awakened within her body. She probably thought she could find the Dharma Eye through this connection."

"or."

She felt she owed a debt to those eyes.

Zhou Ran didn't say anything.

Xu Youwei asked him a question.

Could she be used as a pawn?

He said he would use her identity and testimony.

But we won't trade her life for this situation.

As a result, she risked her own life.

This girl is tough.

That's pretty stupid.

Fatty Wang asked anxiously, "Brother, should we chase after them now?"

Zhou Ran looked up.

"Can't catch up."

"She used the illusory passage left by the silver pupil, without going through the Yin Gate or the left eye of the Heavenly Corpse."

Xiao Rou frowned: "Then where will she end up?"

Zhou Ran said, "I don't know."

A simple "I don't know" made the meeting room even colder.

Just then.

boom!

The entire manor suddenly trembled.

Dust fell from the ceiling.

A deep, muffled heartbeat came from deep underground.

thump.

thump.

thump.

Faster than before.

It is also heavier.

That thing underground is turning over.

The tablet in Chen Ya's hand instantly turned red.

"Boss, the gray line in Jiangcheng is abnormal!"

"A simultaneous rebound in the eastern, western, and southern parts of the city!"

"The quantity... nine thousand nine hundred, nine thousand nine hundred and seventy, it's over ten thousand!"

Lin Qingxue suddenly raised her hand and pressed it against the white silk between her eyebrows.

"This is not an ordinary rebound."

Zhou Ran looked at her.

Lin Qingxue's voice was very soft.

"The Heavenly Corpse's heart is raging."

"The Moon Emperor's divine sense was severed by me and forced back by you, so it did not wait for the next revival."

"It has entered berserk mode."

The conference room floor shook again.

Su Qingling and Su Qingwu both groaned at the same time.

Cracks appeared on the tidal array disc.

Su Qingwu gritted her teeth: "The formation can't withstand this frequency!"

Su Qingling raised her hand and pressed down on the array's core: "It can only last half a day at most!"

Zhou Ran internally focused his gaze on his dantian.

The nascent soul sat cross-legged within.

The six gray lines have not faded.

They slowly climbed up the infant's arms and chest.

Wherever the gray lines passed, a layer of cold, hardened corpse spots appeared on the surface of the nascent soul.

Zhou Ran's eyes darkened.

The countdown hasn't ended yet.

He only stopped it for a moment.

It's restarted now.

Li Zhiyao took out the ancient music compass.

On the chart, the spiritual pressure curves of the Yin and Yang realms fluctuated wildly.

Her expression changed.

"The Heavenly Corpse's liver is activated ahead of schedule."

"how long?"

Li Zhiyao looked at the board.

"Seven days."

Fatty Wang cursed.

"Wasn't there still thirty days left?"

Zhou Ran said, "The Moon Emperor is no longer pretending."

It used to be a chess game.

Now it's time to flip the table.

Seven days later.

The Heavenly Corpse's liver is fully activated.

With the ability to metabolize, the River of Oblivion will collapse, the Yin-Yang barrier will crumble, and Jiangcheng will be dragged into the Void Realm first.

Then there's the entire blue planet.

Zhou Ran tapped on the table.

"I obey."

Everyone sit up straight.

Zhou Ran looked at Li Zhiyao.

"You guard Jiangcheng."

"Use the Grand Commander's decree and seal to take over the remaining forces of the Underworld."

Li Zhiyao said, "The Song emperor will not submit."

He doesn't need to take it.

Zhou Ran threw out a golden secondary seal.

"If he dares to make a move, you can mobilize the demon army to demolish the three palaces."

Fatty Wang grinned: "I can do that."

Zhou Ran looked at him.

"Take one hundred demon soldiers and continue to wipe out the remnants of the Holy Light forces."

"Destroy all equipment belonging to the Heavenly Corpse."

Where are they?

"Those who are guilty, dismiss them. Those who are innocent, hand them over to Chen Ya."

Fatty Wang nodded: "Understood, kill fewer."

Zhou Ran looked at Qin San.

"The remnants of Penglai are yours."

"With Xu Youwei missing, someone in Penglai will definitely make a move."

"Capture them alive."

Qin San asked, "Did they run away?"

"Broken leg."

Qin San nodded.

This is cooked.

Zhou Ran looked at Xiao Rou.

"The Gu Master has sealed off the earth's veins in Jiangcheng."

"Mark all the points where the gray lines fall."

Xiao Rou replied, "Yes."

Zhou Ran looked at Chen Ya.

"Suppress all pressure on resources, public opinion, and hospitals."

"The city must not be in chaos."

Chen Ya's face was still pale, but her voice was steady.

"I'll do it."

At last.

Zhou Ran looked at Lin Qingxue.

Lin Qingxue seemed to know that he was looking at her.

She looked up.

"You're leaving."

"Um."

"Go to the Void Realm?"

"Entering the Void Realm for the Second Time."

Lin Qingxue remained silent for a moment.

"Go find Xu Youwei?"

"Find her."

Zhou Ran paused.

"Also, look for your eyes."

Lin Qingxue smiled softly.

"Save the world first."

"It was just something I did."

Fatty Wang muttered to himself, "Saving the world on a whim, only I would dare to say something like that."

No one laughed.

Zhou Ran stood up.

"Seven days."

"Jiangcheng must not fall within these seven days."

"The underworld must not be disturbed."

"I'll handle things in the virtual realm."

End of the meeting.

The group dispersed.

The manor is running again.

The demon army detachment is deployed.

The worms burrowed into the ground.

Chen Ya made one phone call after another.

Xiao Hongli stood guard at the underground entrance, the Ghost Banner was unfurled again, and black energy clung to the walls.

Zhou Ran went to Lin Qingxue's room.

She sat on the edge of the bed.

White silk covers the eyes.

Moonlight fell on the back of her hand through the window.

Zhou Ran walked over and took her hand.

Lin Qingxue did not dodge.

"Does it hurt?"

"fine."

"lie."

"The same to you."

Zhou Ran chuckled.

Lin Qingxue's fingers tightened.

"If Xu Youwei is still alive, bring her back."

"Um."

"If she were swallowed by Silver Eyes..."

She didn't finish speaking.

Zhou Ran continued.

"I took her back."

Lin Qingxue nodded.

"What about my eyes?"

Zhou Ran looked down at her eyebrows and eyes covered by white silk.

"Wait for me to come back."

"I will give you your eyes, and this world, completely."

Lin Qingxue's lips twitched slightly.

"That sounds nice."

"So it's true."

She nodded gently.

I believe you.

Zhou Ran turned and went out.

The Primordial Black Blade appeared behind him.

The moonlight shone on the blade, cold and blinding.

The backyard of the manor.

The portal to the virtual world has been opened.

The token of life hangs in mid-air.

Demonic energy and gray mist intertwined, forming an unstable gate.

Zhou Ran stepped inside.

I just crossed the threshold.

Deep within his consciousness, the remaining demonic patterns on the Nightfall Black Pearl suddenly trembled.

A familiar voice rang out.

Lazy.

hoarse.

It also has a slightly irritating quality.

"You brat, don't go for the heart."

Zhou Ran paused in his steps.

Does the night betray the heavens?

The voice chuckled softly.

"To the Heavenly Corpse..."

"Right hand."
