Chapter 117: The Righteous and Devils’ Gathering, The Arrival of Heavenly Devils!
The Grand Myriad Mountains were located in the southern territory of the Vast Land.
On the other hand, Mount Xuanlin was located in the northern territory, and the distance between the two places cannot be reasonably fathomed.
Fortunately, although the base had been destroyed, the teleportation array remained. Li Ran and the others could use the teleportation array to reach the southern border.
By the time he arrived at the teleportation array, a group of disciples had already arrived.
They were all inner court disciples with rich battle experience and profound cultivation bases.
He was the backbone of the sect.
“Sheng Zi.”
“Greetings, Sheng Zi.”
Everyone greeted Li Ran respectfully.
Even though they were much older than him, they did not have the airs of a senior.
The young man in front of them wasn’t just the sect’s Sheng Zi, he was also the number one Heavenly Devil on the Heavenly Devil Rankings.
He was an existence that they had to look up to.
Li Ran looked at this group and couldn’t help but sigh.
The last time he had passed through this teleportation array, he had brought the disciples to the trial. In the end, not long after, the entire camp had been destroyed.
Li Ran swept his gaze across the crowd and said indifferently, “There’s no other request. Try not to die.”
“Let’s go.”
“Yes!”
Everyone’s voices were in unison.
—
At the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Ran and the others had traversed ten thousand kilometers to arrive at the southern territory.
The scenery in front of him was a complete mess. There were broken walls everywhere, and the former headquarters had been destroyed.
The corpses of demon beasts could be seen everywhere, as well as the spatter of dried blood on the ground indicated that a fierce battle had occurred.
Fortunately, there was a teleportation array. Most of the disciples had escaped, and there weren’t many casualties.
“Where is the nearest town?” Li Ran asked.
One of the accompanying disciples stepped forward and said, “Reporting to the Sheng Zi, the closest town is Southern Wind City. It’s three hundred kilometers away from here, and it’s also the temporary stronghold of the various sects.”
Li Ran nodded. “All right, let’s go to Southern Wind City first.”
His mind stirred, and the bricks on the ground rose into the air, blocking the teleportation array to prevent the formation from being destroyed by demon beasts. Then, he led everyone into the sky.

Southern Wind City…
This originally unknown small city was currently extremely lively.
From time to time, flying swords would sweep past the sky. The streets were crowded with people, and cultivators holding immortal treasures could be seen everywhere.
This wasn’t the first time that the demon beasts of the Grand Myriad Mountains had erupted.
Based on past experiences, it was possible that a Beast King would appear. That would be a bloody battle for both the Righteous Path and Devil Dao.
However, it could also be a treasure of immortal destiny. This would depend on everyone’s luck.
There were many unaffiliated cultivators who came here to try their luck, hoping to obtain a bit of Immortal Fate.
At this moment, on the largest square in the city, all the cultivators were gathered.
The crowd was divided into three groups. The Righteous Path, the Devil Path, and a small group of wandering cultivators.
Right now, the Righteous Path’s people were quietly discussing.
“I heard that both the Myriad Sword Pavilion and the Tianshu Institute have come…?”
“Of course, abnormal movements of demon beasts are no small matter!”
“The one from the Myriad Sword Pavilion is Chief Yue… Who did the Tianshu Institute send?”
“You still don’t know? I heard that Fairy Lin had broken the shell and reached Nascent Soul!”
“Nascent Soul? Really? Wasn’t her dao heart damaged and her cultivation dropped?”
“It’s said that she entered the ‘Death End Grounds’ and forcefully replenished her Dao Heart. Her cultivation has skyrocketed since then!”
“God, geniuses are geniuses!”
—
Just as everyone was discussing spiritedly, rays of light flashed and several green-robed swordsmen landed on the square.
The small golden sword embroidered on their clothes indicated their identities.
The Myriad Sword Pavilion had arrived!
The leader was the cold-looking Yue Jianli.
The Righteous Path’s people all walked over, smiling as they exchanged greetings.
Yue Jianli nodded slightly and stood in a corner with her sword in hand.
Everyone was used to this, and no one would bother her.
Not long after, another few streaks of white light flashed.
Following a fragrant wind, several female cultivators dressed in white slowly descended.
The person in the lead was a young Daoist nun, and her pure white Daoist robe was embroidered with beautiful clouds. Her eyes were calm as a lake without the slightest ripple.
It was Lin Langyue.
Yue Jianli’s gaze pierced through the crowd and stared fixedly at her, her eyes filled with astonishment.
“This aura is hard to grasp… Could it be that she had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm?”
The crowd instantly became restless.
“Fairy Lin is here!”
“Greetings, Fairy Lin!”
“Looking at this aura, her cultivation base must be even more unfathomable!”
“It’s truly the blessing of the Righteous Path!”
—
Although Lin Langyue had been defeated by Li Ran, she was still the number one Chosen of the Righteous Path and had countless supporters in the Righteous Path.
Furthermore, judging from her current state, it was clear that her cultivation was advancing instead of retreating.
Of course, everyone was even more enthusiastic and went forward to greet her.
On the other hand, Lin Langyue remained calm as she stood silently at the side, and her bearing was even colder than before.
Compared to the Righteous Path’s warmth, the Devil Dao was much colder.
Every single sect was separated by a certain distance. The gazes of each other were alert and cautious.
Qin Ruyan looked at Lin Langyue, who was surrounded by the crowd, and a haze flashed across her eyes.
“She came from the Death End Grounds alive!”
“I can’t see through her cultivation base. Could it be that she already entered the Nascent Soul Realm?”
“Damn it…“
There were many grudges between her and Lin Langyue, and when she saw that Lin Langyue had benefited from the disaster, she felt extremely displeased.
Seeing this, the white-faced youth couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. “What’s wrong? Qin Ruyan, seeing your enemy’s breakthrough, aren’t you happy?”
“Bai Jiangye, this matter has nothing to do with you!” Qin Ruyan frowned.
Bai Jiangye grinned, revealing his white teeth. “Why don’t you hire me to help you kill her?”
Qin Ruyan snorted and couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to this murderer.
Bai Jiangye wasn’t angry either. “This demon beast disturbance isn’t a small matter. The Righteous Path is led by Tianshu Institute. What about our Devil Dao? It can’t be that all dragons have no heads, right?”
Qin Ruyan frowned. “What are you planning?”
Cough cough.
Bai Jiangye cleared his throat and said with a smile, “I’m trying to twist everyone’s strength into a strand! After all, I’m number two on the Heavenly Devil Ranking. It shouldn’t be a problem to be a temporary commander, right?”
“You? Haha…”
Before Qin Ruyan could finish speaking, a few rays of light flashed through the sky and instantly landed in the middle of the plaza.
When she saw the leader, she couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, then her smile blossomed like a flower.
“Bai Jiangye, I don’t think it’s up to you.”
After Bai Jiangye saw who it was, he shrugged and stopped talking.
The noisy square instantly quieted down. All the eyes of the Righteous Path and Devilish Dao were focused on the man.
The top-ranked devil, Li Ran!
