Ring

When Xu Yuan, Ying'er, and Ran Qingmo, who had come looking for them halfway, returned to the ruins of the Xu Estate mansion, Xu Changge had already been waiting inside for a long time.

Xu Yuan was not surprised by this.

Just now Ying'er placed him on the roof of a building in the marketplace. After walking for a few breaths, he discovered that his elder brother had appeared above the Xu Estate at some point.

However, the other party only glanced at him from a distance before landing directly inside the Xu Estate mansion.

At this moment, Xu Changge sat quietly on a large rock, his eyes lowered as he played with an ancient ring. His blue robe was spotless and fluttered in the wind.

As Xu Yuan approached, his attention was drawn to a blood-stained cloth bag placed next to Xu Changge.

He remembered that this older brother seemed to have Sumeru Ring, so why didn't he put it in the ring?

Hesitating slightly, he extended his Will Soul to see what was inside the cloth bag.

But what Xu Yuan saw inside the cloth bag made his breath catch in his throat slightly.

This is a woman's head; her eyes are closed, and she died peacefully.

The Will Soul swept over,

Then,

The woman's eyes suddenly opened.

"." Xu Yuan.

Grass, a type of plant.

The head of the Origin Beginning Realm.

No wonder it couldn't be placed in the Sumeru Ring.

In a daze,

Xu Yuan suddenly noticed that Xu Changge had tossed the ring from his hand to him.

He grabbed it, glanced down at it, and a look of surprise appeared in Xu Yuan's eyes.

This is a Sumeru Ring, empty, but its internal space is more than twice as large as his original one.

But this guy already knew he already had one, so what was the point of giving him another one?

Xu Yuan opened his mouth as if to ask a question, but Xu Changge did not give him a chance to speak, her calm gaze sweeping over Ran Qingmo behind him.

"."

Upon seeing this scene,

Ran Qingmo subconsciously gripped the sword hilt and took a half-step back, slightly wary.

This Xu Changge is very dangerous.

Xu Changge stared into Ran Qingmo's eyes and said in a gentle tone:

"Mr. Ran, I left in a hurry last Changtian. I appreciate your help in the Wanxing Mountain Range."

"."

Upon hearing this, Ran Qingmo silently pulled the hilt of his sword up slightly, and his Cultivation Method quietly began to circulate.

Xu Changge raised an eyebrow, lowered his gaze to stare at her sword hilt for two seconds, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

If the woman before him had been born ten years earlier, there would probably have been someone in his generation who could rival him.

What a pity.

"Mr. Ran, I have no intention of fighting with you. Since Changtian is not going to pursue that matter, I, as his elder brother, naturally will not either."

As he spoke,

In the silence,

Xu Changge slowly rose, walked to Ran Qingmo, gathered his sleeves, and solemnly bowed to the woman before him.

"Xu Changge, thank you for your help, Mr. Ran."

After the ceremony,

Xu Changge turned around and glanced at Xu Yuan beside her, then looked at the ice sculpture behind Ran Qingmo.

"." Xu Yuan.

"..." Xu Changge repeated the action he had just performed.

Xu Yuan coughed lightly:

"Ran Qingmo, could you please hand over the soul and Qin Mo's corpse to us?"

Ran Qingmo blinked, then nodded:

"Good"

After saying that,

"Thump!"

She threw the two connected ice sculptures onto the ground.

Xu Yuan smiled slightly upon seeing this, only to find that the older brother was still staring at him with a calm expression.

"." Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan suddenly seemed to understand what his elder brother meant by giving him this Sumeru Ring.

Although Zhou Chen and his two companions fought with all their might for a long time, it was mostly a waste of time and energy, resulting in futile efforts.

The Saint's Remnant Soul within the Soul Ring was almost entirely frozen by Ran Qingmo alone.

This is her spoils of war.

With Xu Changge's strength, he could directly demand that Ran Qingmo hand it over, but because of Xu Yuan, Xu Changge, as the older brother, couldn't just take away someone else's spoils of war.

Slight hesitation,

Xu Yuan removed the Sumeru Ring from his index finger, emptied it, replaced it with the larger one, and handed it to Ran Qingmo.

"Ran Qingmo, I'll trade you this."

"."

Ran Qingmo's clear, deep eyes flickered slightly.

She stared at the ring on Xu Yuan's finger without saying a word or taking it.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then chuckled softly:

"Take it. The favor I owed you was for killing them for me, and this Sumeru Ring is in exchange for this Remnant Soul Ring."

Ran Qingmo pursed her lips, stared at Xu Yuan for two seconds, her clear eyes revealing nothing of her thoughts, but this time she did respond:

"Okay, sure."

He gently took it and put Xu Yuan's Sumeru Ring on the index finger of his right hand.

He paused for a moment,

She then took the bulging bag from her back and put it inside.

Watching the two of them finish their operation, Xu Changge sighed helplessly and then casually waved his hand.

"Crackling sound--"

The ice sculpture, resembling Eternal Profound Ice, emitted a series of soft cracking sounds, and some cracks began to spread at a visible speed.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yuan immediately turned around and looked back.

In his gaze,

The ice sculpture that had sealed the main character of the story shattered into dust.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan felt a little unreal.

Although Ran Qingmo told him this in person, a vague unease couldn't be ignored the moment the other person's head didn't fall to the ground.

After all, the two snake demons who died earlier could be the female lead in Cangyuan, or they could be passersby, while Qin Mo is truly the protagonist of every timeline.

Now that he has been reduced to dust, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

Qin Mo is really dead.

His thoughts wandered, Xu Yuan gently shook his head.

As expected, there is no such thing as a main character in the story.

Judging from their experiences, Qin Mo's fortuitous opportunity certainly fit the protagonist's mold, but aren't Xu Changge, Ran Qingmo, and even his father in the Imperial Capital also examples of this?

Qin Mo is difficult to kill simply because he possesses a unique quality that makes him hard to kill.

Whether it's his own strength to fight beyond his level, the old man he's with, or Qin Weijiu's help, these are all reasons why he's difficult to kill.

Gathering his thoughts, Xu Yuan focused his gaze on the remnant soul of that saint.

The saint who broke out of the ice did not go mad again. After glancing around and roughly understanding his situation, he obediently crawled back into his Soul Ring.

Xu Changge bent down to pick up the Soul Ring, turned around and asked:

"Changtian, you did a good job this time. Is there anything you want?"

Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, without even thinking:

"Medicine."

Xu Changge chuckled lightly and casually tossed over twenty bottles of various pills he had brought from the Imperial Capital into Xu Yuan's Sumeru Ring.

"This is what my father asked me to bring to you."

After a pause, Xu Changge chuckled softly:

"Is there anything else?"

After a slight hesitation, Xu Yuan glanced at the Soul Ring in Xu Changge.

Xu Changge's eye twitched, but he pretended not to notice.

But after a few moments of silence, he explained:

"Father has a use for this, let's get a different one."

Xu Yuan was merely testing the waters, glancing at Ran Qingmo beside him before softly asking:

"Xu Changge, I'd like to take this opportunity to go out for a walk, is that alright?"
