My Executioner

Holy Spirit Mountain · Heaven's Edge.

Lu Ran stepped out of the mirror and was stunned to find the surroundings shrouded in mist.

"Who?" A figure flew up from beyond the cliff and demanded in a deep voice.

"Me." A muffled voice came from behind the Blood Crystal Mask.

"Young Master?" Yan Chou was startled, then his expression turned somewhat grim. "You weren't injured, were you?"

Lu Ran had left at dawn, and it was only morning now. Yan Chou could not help but imagine all sorts of things, assuming Lu Ran had been beaten into a miserable retreat and had no choice but to flee back to the mountain realm to recover.

"No." Lu Ran asked, "Who is advancing?"

Yan Chou landed at the cliff's edge, fell to his knees, and bowed his head. "I heard it is Martial Emperor under your command. Madam sent Chou Nu here to guard Heaven's Edge."

"Oh?" At last, a trace of delight appeared on Lu Ran's face.

Wu Xiao, Wu Xiao, you finally advanced!

When This Seat stayed in the mountain realm, you just lay flat? Only after I successfully ascended and ventured into the Heaven Realm did you finally know to get anxious?

Lu Ran smiled and shook his head, sending a voice transmission through his mind. [Evil Shadow.]

[Master?] A surprised female voice sounded in his mind.

[Call Senior Bai Rao and the Fengyan Two Generals to Heaven's Edge.]

After issuing the order in his mind, Lu Ran spread one hand open, and the Chifengwen Gourd automatically flew into his palm.

Through a pair of Luan Pupils, he looked at the man in imperial robes within the mist. "Come with me to the Heaven Realm."

"Yes!" Yan Chou nodded repeatedly, utterly thrilled.

The sight filled Lu Ran with boundless emotion.
