The restaurant fell silent.
Everyone looked towards the door.
A man and a woman slowly walked in.
The man's figure was tall and straight, and the expression on his handsome face was lazy, while the woman's flirtatious appearance was timidly following behind him.
After seeing the man's appearance clearly, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, and a wave of suppressed low cries sounded out.
"It's Li Ran!"
"This Devil Sheng Zi Li has also come?"
"This year, the person from the Youluo Temple is actually him?"
"This devil loves to hit women. He used to hit Lin Langyue on the ground!"
"That's right. He even used the alias Ji Erbangying. It's said that he is Ji Xingyun's distant cousin!"
"Chief Yue is going to suffer!"
Righteous cultivators' hearts tightened.
Although Li Ran did not have any bad reputation, his actions were extremely unreasonable, and he did not follow the rules.
Most importantly, he was notorious for loathing the Righteous Path!
Ji Xingyun was already difficult enough to deal with, and now there was a super devil.
This time, Yue Jianli was truly unlucky.
"Where's the waiter? Why aren't you coming out to receive guests?" Li Ran shouted impatiently, but no one responded.
At this moment, Aqin tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "My Lord, there seems to be a fight going on over there…"
"Eh?" Li Ran looked up and saw two people standing in confrontation. One of them was a girl dressed in green, Yue Jianli!
"Li Ran!" Yue Jianli stared at him in a daze, her eyes filled with joy and tenderness.
Her feet moved slightly, wanting to jump into his embrace. However, she realized that someone was watching her, so she could only restrain herself.
After all, the two of them were different, so they had to keep a distance in front of outsiders.
Corner of Li Ran's mouth slightly raised as he blinked at her.
He never expected to meet her here.
Noticing Yu Rui's killing intent, he narrowed his eyes and walked over with Aqin.
"No wonder no one accepted the guests. It looks like it's quite lively?"
Ji Xingyun stood up with a smile. "This should be Sheng Zi Li, right? I've heard from you for a long time. I'm Yin Corpses Dao's Ji Xingyun."
This man in front of him had become famous. Not only was he the Sheng Zi Li of the Devil Dao, but he was also the youngest person in the vast land who was in the Heavenly Tribulation realm!
It's not that he didn't dare to offend him. He couldn't afford to!
Li Ran nodded. "So it's Chief Ji. I've heard so much about you."
When Ji Xingyun saw that his attitude was good, he finally felt relieved.
Rumor had it that Sheng Zi Li was an eccentric person. No one knew his temper at all. Now that he looked at him, he was pretty easy to get along with.
Li Ran glanced at Yu Rui and asked, "What is Chief Ji doing?"
Ji Xingyun smiled and said, "It's nothing. Yue Jianli has something to do with the death of my Sect Deacon. I just came to ask for an explanation."
"Oh? What did Chief Ji want to say?"
Ji Xingyun glanced at Yue Jianli and sneered. "If you owe a debt, then pay with money. If you kill someone, then you have to pay for your life. As long as Chief Yue handed over the murderer, she could naturally leave, but if she couldn't hand him over… Hmph!"
Yu Ye was just a deacon. If he died, he would die. Ji Xingyun had no interest in seeking justice.
This was just his excuse.
Yin Corpse Dao technique was sinister, and the Corpse Puppet Dao would devour one's own body. As a result, there were very few disciples recruited each year.
That was why he had chosen this opportunity to make trouble. He wanted to step on Yue Jianli and show his face in the Immortal Ascension Assembly!
"So that's the case." Li Ran nodded, but his eyes were as cold as iron.
"Yue Jianli, who killed my brother Yu Ye? Hand him over, and I'll spare your life!"
"Yu Ye?" Li Ran was stunned for a moment before smiling brightly. "I'm familiar with this person."
Ji Xingyun asked suspiciously, "Does Sheng Zi Li know my Sect Deacon?"
"Yes, of course." Li Ran smiled and said, "Because I personally killed him."
The restaurant instantly fell silent.
Yu Rui slowly turned around and stared blankly at him.
Ji Xingyun frowned and shook his head. "Don't joke around, Sheng Zi Li…"
"Who is joking with you?" Li Ran raised his hand, and black mist gushed out of his hand. It roared and rolled in his hand.
Yu Rui's eyes instantly turned red.
This was his younger brother's soul-devouring black mist. How could he not recognize it?
"Li Ran, my brother really was killed by you!"
Yu Rui suddenly took a step forward. His black robe fluttered, and corpse energy spread, quickly condensing into a gray puppet!
His ferocious appearance was extremely shocking!
Ji Xingyun's pupils constricted. "Yu Rui, stop!"
That was Li Ran. He couldn't move easily!
But Yu Rui could no longer listen.
He didn't care about the Devil Sheng Zi Li. He only wanted to avenge his younger brother.
"Hand over your life!"
He leaped towards Li Ran, his black robes fluttering in the wind. At the same time, the Corpse Puppet moved in response, bringing with it waves of Yin winds to seal off his retreat path.
Li Ran, however, sat there calmly, his eyes flickering with a mocking smile.
Yu Rui's heart skipped a beat as he sensed the abnormality and wanted to turn around and retreat.
But it was too late.
"Forbidden Samsara."
A soul chain appeared out of nowhere, instantly binding him tightly. Not only his physical body but even his soul also couldn't leave his body.
A vast amount of soul energy flew out and condensed into a sword above Li Ran's head, emitting a faint divine light.
Sand!
Sword from outside, the heavens slashed down on him.
Yu Rui was like a statue, standing there in a daze, his eyes dim.
His soul was already in Li Ran's hand.
"How… How is this possible?" Yu Rui's translucent face was completely shocked.
The opponent was clearly only at the early stage of the Heavenly Tribulation realm. How could he use his soul to attack with such terrifying soul energy?
Li Ran's smile was ice-cold. "It was the same expression when your brother died."
"Wait…" Before Yu Rui could finish his sentence, his soul had already been drowned by the black mist, and he vanished into thin air amidst a series of ear-piercing wails.
At the same time, his body began to collapse rapidly. Under the gazes of everyone present, it was completely obliterated into ashes.
The restaurant was deathly silent.
Everyone stared blankly at this scene, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Rui died just like that.
That was the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation realm! He couldn't even use a single move.
This was too exaggerated!
Yue Jianli looked at Li Ran. Her nose was slightly wrinkled, her eyes bright and bright.
"This bad guy is stronger than before… Hmm, he seems even more handsome!"
Ji Xingyun's throat tightened, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
Just now, two of them were chatting and laughing. Why did they suddenly fight to death?
Moreover, Yu Rui, who was at the peak of Heavenly Tribulation, was actually killed by Li Ran.
His head felt dizzy.
"Sheng Zi Li, this…"
Li Ran smiled and said, "Chief Ji doesn't plan on asking for an explanation?"
"No, there's no need!"
What a joke. Since his strongest combat strength was dead, how could he dare to say anything?
Li Ran shook his head and said, "If you kill someone, you'll pay your debt. Chief Ji has to get justice for his subordinates."
Ji Xingyun wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Big brother, there's really no need!"
