Xianxia: The Sect Master Is My Girlfriend

The tavern fell into a dead silence.

Everyone looked at Li Ran as if he were an idiot.

Going after the Slaughter Prison?

Is he out of his mind?!

The Slaughter Prison practices the path of slaughter and massacre—the more they kill, the stronger their will becomes.

In that sect, out of ten people, nine are murderous maniacs, and the tenth is a psychopath!

They’ve probably killed more people than all the other demonic sects combined!

What’s more, they are a top-tier sect with an emperor-level figure overseeing them. If they go up against them, they won’t even be enough to fill their teeth!

Li Ran spoke passionately, “The words of Senior Brother Chen just now have awakened the deep-seated sense of justice within me!”

“The Slaughter Prison is so rampant, exterminating an entire city. This is intolerable by the heavens and the earth! We should go and fight them!”

“…”

Chen Zhutian’s inner thoughts: “I’m seriously considering fighting you right now…”

He shook his head, speaking with grave sincerity, “I understand Brother Ji’s feelings, but we must recognize our own abilities. With our current strength, we are not capable of going against a top-tier demonic sect.”

“Exactly.”

“Senior Brother Chen is right.”

“We can’t just go and throw away our lives.”

The people below echoed his sentiments.

Li Ran, however, argued righteously, “If we can’t defeat the sect master, we can gang up on the elders. If we can’t kill the elders, we can kill their disciples… In any case, for the sake of those innocent people, we must teach them a lesson!”

Chen Zhutian felt bitter inside.

This guy seems serious…

Li Ran walked up to the stage, patted Chen Zhutian’s shoulder, and reassured him, “Don’t worry, this time we have Sister Langya with us, so our strength is greatly enhanced. We’re sure to give the demonic sects a harsh blow!”

Luo Yong covered his face, “Her name is Lin Langyue…”

Just as Chen Zhutian was in a dilemma, Lin Langyue spoke up, “This Brother Ji…”

“Ji Erbangying,” Li Ran reminded her, “You can also call me by my nickname, Gege Hao Bang.”

“I’ll just call you Brother Ji,” Lin Langyue said. “Having a passionate heart is a good thing, and your suggestion isn’t impossible, but it might end up doing more harm than good.”

“Why do you say that?” Li Ran asked.

Lin Langyue replied calmly, “For a sect like the Slaughter Prison, if we don’t destroy them completely in one strike, they will retaliate fiercely. When that happens, it’s the innocent civilians who will suffer.”

Her words were logical and hard to refute.

Li Ran thought for a moment and nodded, “You’re right. Although my ‘stick’ is quite powerful, it’s unrealistic to think I can finish them off in one blow.”

Chen Zhutian breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s good to see that Sister Lin has a broad perspective and thorough consideration. In that case, let’s…”

“Let’s go after the Joyful Lotus Sect instead,” Li Ran interrupted.

“Ah??”

“They’re sucking the life out of young girls, turning them into dried corpses. Doesn’t that make you furious?”

“…”

Chen Zhutian awkwardly replied, “The Joyful Lotus Sect is similar to the Slaughter Prison; there will be retaliation.”

Li Ran tilted his head, “What about the Yin Corpse Sect?”

“Same reasoning…”

Li Ran couldn’t help but laugh, “So after all your grand speeches, you don’t dare to go after anyone? You only pick on bandits to boost your image? How can this be called a Demon-Slaying Assembly? It’s more like a gathering of hypocrites.”

“What did you say?”

“How dare you!”

“Who do you think you are?”

“The Hardness Gang? Sounds like a third-rate sect!”

“Covering your face—definitely not a good person!”

The crowd, feeling their sore spots had been hit, jumped up and started cursing loudly.

Chen Zhutian’s expression also darkened, “Are you here to cause trouble?”

Li Ran shrugged, “You misunderstand. I’m just trying to contribute to the righteous path.”

Chen Zhutian snorted, “Then stop making such ridiculous suggestions!”

Li Ran knocked on his pig-headed mask, “Alright, let me make a more reasonable one.”

Chen Zhutian suppressed his impatience, “I’ll give you one last chance. If this suggestion doesn’t work, we’ll proceed with the original plan!”

“Don’t worry, this one will definitely work.”

Li Ran said seriously, “Let’s go kill Li Ran.”

“???”

Seeing everyone’s confused expressions, he began to analyze with a straight face.

“First, Li Ran is a super genius. If we let him grow, he will surely become a major threat to the righteous path.”

“Second, the Hidden Gauze Sect is not a bloodthirsty sect. Even if we kill their Holy Son, we don’t have to worry about them harming innocent civilians.”

“Finally, that guy is too damn handsome. Female cultivators lose their focus just by looking at him. He’s a dangerous presence that must be eliminated.”

Li Ran looked around, “What do you all think of my proposal?”

The crowd exchanged glances, their throats dry.

Kill Li Ran?

But he’s the Holy Son of the demonic path! How could he be so easy to deal with?

Besides, Leng Wuyan is extremely protective. If something happens to Li Ran, none of them will escape!

But there seemed to be no reason to refuse this pig-headed guy’s proposal either…

Li Ran looked at Lin Langyue, “What does Sister Lin think?”

Surprisingly, Lin Langyue didn’t refuse. She nodded, “If he’s truly as you described… then it’s possible.”

Behind the pig-headed mask, Li Ran’s grin was sinister, “Great, so my proposal is accepted?”

“But…”

Chen Zhutian hesitated, “Li Ran rarely shows his face, and his whereabouts are difficult to track. Where would we find him?”

“Yeah!”

“We can’t exactly storm the Hidden Gauze Sect!”

“We’re willing to fight, but what if we can’t find him?”

The crowd finally found an excuse and started backing out again.

Li Ran shook his head, “It’s not that complicated. There’s no need to even look for him…”

“Huh?”

The crowd was confused.

Li Ran removed his pig-headed mask, smiling mischievously, “Because I’ve already delivered myself to you.”

“…”

The tavern fell into dead silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared at him in shock, their jaws nearly hitting the floor.

“L-Li Ran?!”

“How did he end up at the Demon-Slaying Assembly?!”

Luo Yong’s legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

The pig-headed guy who had been chatting with him earlier was Li Ran?!

Chen Zhutian instantly broke into a cold sweat, leaping off the platform in a flash.

Li Ran’s infamous name was no joke—he was the top genius among all prodigies!

This guy was clearly baiting them!

Everyone suddenly felt as if they were facing a great enemy. Some even started sneaking towards the door, ready to flee.

Li Ran spread his arms, and dark shadows instantly spread out from behind him, enveloping the entire tavern.

Tiny points of eerie light floated in the air.

“Shadow Prison!”

Suddenly, everyone felt the ground beneath them soften, as if it had turned into a swamp!

A powerful suction force pulled them down, making even walking extremely difficult!

Li Ran’s voice echoed in the air:

“Don’t move. You’re surrounded.”
