A Young Monster of a Different Age
Special hobbies?
Lu Rang's strange question immediately made Qinglan and Xia Yao blush.
"We don't have any!"
Xia Yao spoke, her beautiful eyes filled with disdain.
Lu Rang was taken aback and said, "Um... I actually wanted to ask you guys if you'd like to come to our village... to raise pigs, cook, do odd jobs, anything..."
"No!"
Xia Yao spoke again, completely disbelieving him.
"Never mind, never mind. I originally wanted to offer you a great opportunity, but if you don't want it, then forget it."
Lu Rang didn't press the matter.
"The Immortal Burial Mountain Range is just ahead."
Dugu Yuqing spoke solemnly.
We've arrived at the next point.
A vast mountain range lay across the land, but now it was covered with countless cracks, making it look terrifying.
Terrifying Sha Qi, mixed with sacred golden light, emanated from the crack.
Someone is blocking the way!
Who goes there?
The person who set up the checkpoint was actually a quasi-immortal. He coldly declared, "No one but the most outstanding of the younger generation is allowed to enter!"
"Earth Wind Realm, Qinglan and Xia Yao of the Mysterious Woman Sect!"
Qinglan spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, the quasi-immortal frowned and said, "Mysterious Woman Sect? Why did you come alone? Shouldn't you be with the Duanmu Family's Imperial Sky Ship?"
--It was the combined forces of these major powers that sealed off the Immortal Burial Mountain Range!
There was a great fortuitous opportunity there, so naturally they wouldn't allow ordinary people to come in and rob them.
"You don't need to ask that, do you?"
Qinglan remained calm and flashed the Mysterious Woman Sect's token.
"What about the other two?"
The quasi-immortal spoke, looking at Lu Rang and the others.
Lu Rang, quick-witted, immediately said, "We are also from the Mysterious Woman Sect, we are all together."
The quasi-immortal immediately retorted angrily, "Do you think I'm a fool? The Mysterious Woman Sect only has female disciples!"
"I see you two are nothing but mountain vagrants, get out of here!"
Utterly disdainful.
"These two are our attendants."
At this moment, Qinglan suddenly spoke.
She had already recognized their extraordinary qualities, so she wanted to keep them by her side, as they might prove useful in the future.
Upon hearing this, the quasi-immortal frowned even more deeply, but still allowed them to pass.
After the group passed through, the quasi-immortal murmured to himself, "Everyone says the women of the Mysterious Woman Sect are all pure and virtuous, but it seems they're not so discreet after all..."
Upon entering the Immortal Burial Mountain Range, young people from various states can be seen everywhere.
They are all outstanding individuals.
They continued forward, and soon they came to a clearing filled with Sha Qi.
The place is packed with people right now.
"Earth Origin Alliance!"
The Earth Origin Alliance, a group of promising young people, surrounds a young man in a blue shirt.
The young man in blue robes possessed an extremely powerful aura, faintly emanating a divine charm.
"Earth Spirit Alliance!"
The Earth Spirit Alliance also has a group of extraordinary young people.
In comparison, the cultivators of the Profound Character Alliance appear to be somewhat weaker, as their foundation is not as strong as that of the Earth Character Realm.
The major alliances are clearly distinct.
"Saintess Qinglan, Miss Xia Yao!"
At this moment, a young man walked up with a smile from the crowd of the Earth Wind Alliance and said, "You've finally arrived. By the way, where is Brother Duanmu?"
This person Ning Zhaoran, the grandson of Ning Tianhao, the leader of the Earth Wind Alliance!
"Here!"
At that moment, a voice rang out from behind. It was Duanmu Yang and his group, who had also arrived.
"Brother Duanmu, why did you lose both Saintess? This is a grave mistake on your part."
The young man smiled slightly.
Duanmu Yang's face was somewhat gloomy as he said, "Brother Zhaoran, you may not know, but some unscrupulous individuals have deceived the two Saintess, causing some misunderstandings between us!"
He looked at Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing with ill intent.
Immediately, Ning Zhaoran looked at Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing.
"May I ask who you two are?"
He asked a question.
Lu Rang casually replied, "Oh, we're from the village, we've never seen the world before."
Ning Zhaoran's expression immediately turned cold as he said, "You two Non-Self Earth Wind Alliance, so why are you trying to sow discord?"
"Sowing discord? You should first ask him what good deeds he's done for those two ladies!"
Dugu Yuqing was aloof.
"Nonsense! You're spouting baseless accusations!"
Duanmu Yang immediately roared in anger, "I invited the two Saintess to drink my Duanmu Family's Enlightenment Tea, but these Saintess falsely accused me of plotting against them and poisoning them..."
Upon hearing this, everyone around looked over.
Ning Zhaoran's expression turned icy as she addressed Lu Rang and the other man, "If I remember correctly, the major alliances have sealed off this place. No unsavory characters are allowed to enter. Please leave immediately!"
"Guard!"
He gave a cold shout.
Suddenly, two old men appeared silently.
They are incredibly powerful; they are two ancient Immortal!
The others also turned their gazes over.
"What? Someone actually managed to sneak in?"
"Heh heh, having offended Brother Duanmu, you still dare to try and pass yourself off as someone else here? Truly despicable!"
"Get out!"
Everyone was utterly disdainful.
Seeing this, Lu Rang's eyes also turned cold, and he said:
"If I remember correctly, this is Yellow Heaven Prefecture, not the territory of your major alliances. What, you don't want to abide by the laws of Profound Heaven Prefecture, and want to cause trouble and bloodshed?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the old Immortal present all changed.
The decree of Profound Heaven Prefecture is known to everyone in the Heavenly Realm.
Who dares to be disrespectful?
One of the old Immortal immediately stepped forward and said, "We are not disobeying the decrees of the Lord of the Heavenly Realm, but the arrival of ordinary ants will only cause chaos!"
"Without recommendations from major alliances or Xuanxian-level sects, you can participate in the competition, but you need to reach the cultivation level of a Fusion Supreme!"
"If you two can achieve this, we will naturally have no objections!"
Ning Zhaoran sneered, "Two country bumpkins, at the Body Integration Realm? Judging from your auras, you haven't even reached the Golden Core Realm. Now get out of here!"
However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Rang suddenly stepped forward and appeared directly in front of him!
Snap!
A crisp slap rang out!
Ning Zhaoran sent flying by a slap!
"Ah--"
He landed heavily dozens of meters away, spitting out blood!
Instantly, everyone in the room was shocked.
"What's going on? Someone actually dared to attack Ning Zhaoran?!"
"Ning Zhaoran is the number one heavenly talent in the alliance... It's said he's already broken through to the Immortal Realm... Yet, this person actually slapped him away with one hand?"
"Are you crazy...?"
Everyone was shocked.
All eyes in the room were on Lu Rang!
Lu Rang coldly replied, "You think you're so great? Just because I haven't shown my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover."
"This is it? You call yourself a genius? You dare to act all high and mighty here?"
The crowd's expressions were complicated. This person looked unremarkable, dressed strangely, like a farmer, yet possessed such terrifying strength.
The two old Immortal' expressions changed drastically, and they said, "Sir, please stop!"
They could already sense that the young man's cultivation level... had actually surpassed that of Immortal!
That's why Ning Zhaoran was... so easily defeated!
"You are no longer a young person, so why have you come here?"
The other old Immortal spoke in a deep voice!
He was certain that Lu Rang, though seemingly young, was actually some old monster disguised as someone else!
-- Several days ago, immortals and celestial beings from various alliances had already come to test the waters, but they discovered that anyone over forty years old who sat on that white bone chair would be instantly killed!
Even several celestial beings have died.
On the contrary, young people can be safe and sound!
Therefore, the old monsters of the major forces completely gave up their desire to seize the fortuitous opportunity and left the battlefield to the younger generation.
Even though some old monsters were present, they were only there to maintain order.
Looking across the Four Great Alliances, there isn't a single person under the age of forty who can break through to the Immortal Realm!
Therefore, they were certain that the young man before them was some kind of old monster!
Upon hearing this, the others immediately understood as well.
"Oh! So he's an old monster."
"I knew it! Ning Zhaoran is the grandson of our Earth Wind Alliance Leader Ning, and few can match his cultivation. How could a mere mountain hermit easily slap him away..."
"Heh, bullying the younger generation with superior strength! An old monster like you actually dares to bully the younger generation, how utterly shameless!"
Everyone was extremely disdainful.
Upon hearing this, Lu Rang was also taken aback.
Old, old monster?
He's so young, yet he's being called an old monster?
His expression turned strange!
