At this moment, he had been seriously injured; his cultivation had been demolished like a fish on the chopping board.
“I was forced! The demon took control of my body. I didn’t know anything at all!” he explained in panic.
In fact, he had always been very clear-headed. He even took the initiative to share his qi with Tao Wu…
However, how would they find out about this?
Li Ran said indifferently, “You wanted to kill me earlier, right?”
Song Qingsong’s heart tightened. “You’ve misunderstood. How is that possible! How would I dare to attack you!”
“Is that so?” Li Ran looked at him. “I’ve had many opportunities to eliminate you before. Do you know why I’ve kept you alive until now?”
“Why?” Song Qingsong had a bad premonition.
“Because eliminating would be too easy for you, I want to squeeze your values dry and then send you to die.” Li Ran smiled.
Song Qingsong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
“You can’t kill me! I am a direct descendant of the Supreme Dao Palace. My master is Venerable Hao Yue. If you kill me, you definitely won’t face any good consequences!” his voice was hoarse.
Yue Jianli also huffed, “Li Ran, you can’t kill him.”
Li Ran’s brows twitched. “Do you fancy Song Qingsong, that’s why you stand up for him repeatedly?”
“What nonsense are you saying?!” Yue Jianli said angrily, “How could I possibly fancy such trash!”
She looked as if she had been greatly insulted.
Li Ran snorted, “Who knows, there might even be someone who fancies such trash.”
“I’m not one of them. I’m content with what I have!”
“Why are you yelling so loudly?”
…
Song Qingsong was speechless.
Hearing the two of them arguing, he almost spat a mouthful of blood.
“You really don’t treat me like a person…”
However, as long as he could survive, what was the point of being insulted?
When he returned to the sect, he would definitely make them pay.
“At that time, the person I killed would be planted on Li Ran, and then the news that he had obtained the Immortal Emperor’s inheritance would be released… Hehe, the righteous path cultivators won’t let him grow!
“As for Yue Jianli… a crime of joining hands with the Devil’s Sect’s Sheng Zi and harming one’s comrade… She definitely won’t be able to escape!” Song Qingsong sneered in his heart. His eyes became even more sinister.

Li Ran frowned. “Since you hate him, why are you stopping me?”
Yue Jianli glared at him and said, “Song Qingsong is a direct disciple of the Supreme Dao Palace. His soul is bound with a divine jade. If you kill him, the Supreme Dao Palace will soon find out!”
“Of the ten people who entered the secret realm, nine of them are from Righteous Sects. Only you, a person of Devil Sect, can undoubtedly kill him!”
“The Supreme Dao Palace won’t let you off!” Although Song Qingsong’s strength was ordinary, he had an extraordinary reputation in the Mortal Realm due to his frequent presence.
Now that he had died at the hands of a fiend, it was akin to slapping the face of the Supreme Dao Palace!
Although Youluo Temple was very powerful, the Supreme Dao Palace was not a weakling.
Furthermore, if a top sect was determined to deal with a Golden Core Realm cultivator, there was simply no way to escape!
Li Ran couldn’t hide in the sect forever, right?
Li Ran rubbed his chin and looked at her. “So… are you worried about me?”
“W-who cares about you? You saved my life. I clearly have a grudge…” The more she said, the less confident she became.
Li Ran looked at her in amusement, “Has anyone told you that you are quite cute sometimes?”
“I-I am cute?!” Yue Jianli’s face instantly turned red.
“I-I’m not cute! I’ll kill you!”
Her flustered appearance made Li Ran laugh.
“Sure,” he couldn’t help but rub Yue Jianli’s head. “You’re Feng Aotian. You’re not cute at all, alright?”
“……”
As if Yue Jianli had been hit on her acupuncture point, she stood there blankly, her earlobe turned even more crimson.
After a while, she gritted her teeth, and with a red face, she said, “Li Ran, I will definitely kill you!”
“Oh, I know.”
“……”
—
Li Ran stood tall as he looked at Song Qingsong, who was lying on the ground.
“Don’t worry, as long as you let me go, I will guarantee that the sect won’t cause you any trouble!” Song Qingsong gave a wry smile.
Li Ran nodded. “I am indeed very afraid of trouble.”
Song Qingxiong heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, Sheng Zi…”
Bang!
A silver spear suddenly pierced through his forehead and nailed him to the ground.
Song Qingsong’s eyes were still filled with the joy of surviving a crisis. His pupils gradually expanded before the light in his eyes became dim.
Yue Jianli sighed.
“Venerable Hao Yue’s status is very high. If you kill his disciple, this matter won’t end well.”
“Who said I killed him?”
Li Ran laughed. “He clearly died at the hands of a demon. What does it have to do with me?”
Yue Jianli shook her head. “Then aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell on you? Or are you also going to kill me?”
“There’s no need to go through that trouble.” Li Ran continued with a serious expression, “If you dare to tell anyone about it, I’ll tell them about your pink underwear.”
Yue Jianli was speechless. “……”
“Li Ran, unsheath your sword…” she slowly drew her sword.
