"Brother Xu Ran actually killed a Soul Hall Expert, and it was a Sky Venerable?"
In Canaan Academy, the girl sat cross-legged, her figure slender, face serene and stunningly beautiful.
A Spiritual Light flickered in her beautiful eyes as she listened to the news being reported by Ling Ying outside, greatly surprised.
The Soul Hall has actually started paying attention to Brother Xu Ran?
Behind the Soul Hall stands the Hun Clan.
Over the years, the Hun Clan has grown powerful, and even the Gu Clan dares not underestimate them. The Soul Hall, established by the Hun Clan, claims to be the strongest force on the Continent, and with the Imperial Clan out of the picture, the Soul Hall is arguably the strongest.
Even her Gu Clan does not dare to recklessly make an enemy of the mighty Hun Clan.
And now a Sky Venerable from the Soul Hall has actually died at the hands of Brother Xu Ran, putting him thoroughly at odds with the Soul Hall, and he is probably already being targeted by the Hun Clan.
A Sky Venerable is indeed a person of very high status within Soul Hall.
For a moment, Xun Er felt worried.
If even the Gu Clan is no match for the Hun Clan, how could Brother Xu Ran possibly...
"It is absolutely true, Lord Xu Ran did indeed kill a Sky Venerable of the Soul Hall, apparently the Ninth Tian Zun, a High-Level Dou Zun with an extremely high status in the Soul Hall," Ling Ying spoke with utmost respect.
In his heart, Xu Ran was the strongest of the greats, and he had no doubts that Xu Ran could even kill the leader of the Hun Clan if it came to it.
Because, he faintly felt that Xu Ran might truly be a Dou Di!
This secret, he had not shared with anyone.
He only knew that he had encountered a mysterious benefactor. The mere help that Lord Xu Ran had given him before had now massively accelerated his Cultivation speed and potential; he believed that he would definitely be able to break through to Dou Zun in the future.
Before receiving help from Xu Ran, the idea of becoming a Dou Zun was completely beyond his wildest hopes.
He understood that as long as he was esteemed by Xu Ran, not to mention Dou Zun, even Dou Sheng was possible for him in the future. To Lord Xu Ran, achieving this for him would be as simple as a wave of his hand. This was the principle he had distilled over these days. What use was his own hard work in Cultivation? No matter how hard he cultivated to death, it would be just that; it was far better to follow Lord Xu Ran.
"Is the news accurate? Did Brother Xu Ran really offend Soul Hall? It's just that I'm afraid..." Xun Er gently bit her red lips with her silver teeth, very worried.
Even though she knew Xu Ran was very strong, she had never witnessed him take action firsthand, and she had known about the power of the Soul Hall and the Hun Clan since she was young.
On this Continent, the Hun Clan has subtly become the most powerful faction, suppressing the other Imperial Clans.
Offending such a dominant powerhouse, it would be strange if she weren't worried.
"This is news from the clan. Our clan has many informants, and naturally, we would be aware of such a major event occurring in the Soul Hall. Moreover, according to the forces in the Jia Ma Empire, on that day, the Jia Ma Empire did experience a world-shattering battle where, within a radius of ten miles from the battlefield, not a single creature survived. Such a battle is far beyond what a Douhuang or Douzong could achieve," Ling Ying continued.
Although a Soul Hall Sky Venerable is formidable, commanding respect across the Continent, they are still not enough before Lord Xu Ran.
If Lord Xu Ran truly wished to take action, he might very well be able to kill this so-called Ninth Heavenly Venerate with a single palm.
"Sigh."
Xun Er felt a sense of anxiety and loss.
She was happy and proud of Xu Ran's strength, but the thought of the situation Xu Ran was about to face made her unable to feel any joy.
"Miss need not worry, since Lord Xu Ran dared to kill the Ninth Heavenly Venerate, he naturally has his own confidence. Lord Xu Ran couldn't possibly be unaware of Soul Hall's strength, yet he dared to act like this, which means he must have many more trump cards," said Ling Ying with a smile.
"Moreover, by obliterating the Ninth Heavenly Venerate of Soul Hall, Lord Xu Ran has definitely given a harsh slap to both Soul Hall and Hun Clan. These years, the Hun Clan has been acting recklessly without any regard for the other Imperial Clans. Now that Soul Hall has suffered a setback, the people within our clan are overjoyed. Besides, Lord Xu Ran has likely already gained the clan's approval by now, which should clear the obstacles for you and him to be together, Miss. This is truly a great thing," Ling Ying explained with a smile.
Although the Gu Clan was at odds with the Hun Clan, they couldn't confront the Hun Clan openly, as it would lead to unnecessary disputes and even threaten the Gu Clan's hard-earned status over many years.
Since the Gu Clan couldn't make a move, Xu Ran taking action on behalf of the Gu Clan also served to release some pent-up frustration.
The more resolute Xu Ran showed himself to be in dealing with Soul Hall and the more Soul Hall Experts he killed, the more highly the Gu Clan would value him.
In the end, when the time truly came, the Gu Clan would most likely go to any lengths to protect Xu Ran.
For a great clan, all decisions are based on the other party's stakes.
If Xu Ran showed himself to be excessively powerful, the Gu Clan would spare no effort and might even be willing to wage war against the Hun Clan.
Now, all the Imperial Clans knew that Soul Hall was gradually growing stronger. If this continued, even they would only be able to watch helplessly as the Hun Clan grew increasingly powerful, dominating everything.
Moreover, they all had a feeling that something was about to happen on the Continent, and there was always an urgent sense of imminent danger in their hearts.
As powerhouses, their perceptions were extremely keen. When a crisis was approaching, only by taking the initiative could there be a glimmer of hope for survival. It was just that they hadn't found the right opportunity yet.
"Really? What did Father and the others say?" Xun Er was overjoyed.
She had not expected that the clan would approve of Xu Ran in such a way.
She thought it would be very difficult to persuade the clan, but now this problem seemed to have been resolved all at once.
"The Clan Leader and many Elders have all said that Lord Xu Ran is a once-in-a-lifetime genius with inscrutable strength. He has at least the 'Cultivation Level' of a Dou Sheng and is worth forming an alliance with," said Ling Ying with admiration.
He only knew that the Clan Leader and the others had also misjudged Lord Xu Ran's strength.
Lord Xu Ran had already become unmatched in the world!
Soul Hall and the Hun Clan wanting to oppose Lord Xu Ran was tantamount to seeking death!
Lord Xu Ran was not just any genius, but a true powerhouse!
"Is that so? Well, that's somewhat of a good thing then. If those old immortals from Soul Hall really decide to take action against Brother Xu Ran, our Gu Clan won't just stand by and watch," Xun Er said, sticking out her tongue.
The people at home always held themselves in high regard, not even sparing a glance for the talents of Zhongzhou.
But with Brother Xu Ran's excellence, he could naturally gain their approval.
"Brother Xu Ran should be arriving at Canaan Academy soon. Humph, he has not been without distractions in the Jia Ma Empire and amongst the Snake-People Tribe; when Brother Xu Ran arrives, I certainly won't let him off easily." Of course, she was just saying this. It's likely that by the time Xu Ran arrived, she would have forgotten all about being angry.
