Xianxia: The Sect Master Is My Girlfriend

Qingzhou City.

City Lord’s Mansion.

Xiang Ze was leisurely sipping tea while sitting on a rocking chair.

A young man in official attire nearby asked, “City Lord, the city is a mix of different people now. Should we send out more men for patrols?”

Xiang Ze shook his head. “No need. They’re all cultivators outside; sending more men won’t help.”

After learning that the Demon-Slaying Assembly would be held in Qingzhou City, the first thing he did was withdraw all the soldiers.

Ordinary people have no deterrence against cultivators.

Moreover, with Xiang Ze in charge, ordinary sect disciples wouldn’t dare cause trouble.

The young man was still concerned. “But I’m worried about potential unrest. Maybe I should go down and take a look…”

He was not only the Vice City Lord but also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, quite strong.

Xiang Ze put down his teacup. “No need. Those people call themselves righteous and care most about their reputation. Nothing will happen… Besides, a big shot is coming today.”

“A big shot? Who?” The young man asked curiously.

Not many could be called a big shot by Xiang Ze.

Xiang Ze smiled. “Lin Langyue, the Head Disciple of Central Heaven Sect. Is that big enough?”

“What?”

The young man exclaimed, “She’s coming too?!”

She’s the number one on the Heavenly Prodigy List, known as the First Fairy of the Righteous Path!

Xiang Ze nodded. “Yes, with her here, I don’t believe anyone would dare cause trouble.”

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise echoed.

The two looked up sharply and saw the three-story Tingyue Pavilion collapse.

“…”

The young man swallowed. “City Lord, someone’s causing trouble.”

Xiang Ze: “I noticed…”

…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Li Ran unleashed his full spiritual power, enveloping everyone in his Shadow Prison.

Most of these people were Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators, unable to break free and standing there dumbfounded.

Li Ran swung his fists, knocking them down like children, making them cry out in pain.

“Not the face!”

“I was wrong, boohoo!”

“I’ll never come to these meetings again…”

“Please stop hitting!”

…

These so-called righteous warriors were beaten to tears, with some even begging for mercy.

The scene was pitiful.

Li Ran intended to teach them a good lesson.

The Demonic Sect might be ruthless, but these people exploited others’ misfortunes for fame and feasted on blood-soaked buns. They were no better.

‘The system asked me to expose their true colors, but I think punching them until their faces are deformed should count as completing the task, right?’

Bang!

Li Ran kicked a burly man flying.

At this moment, Chen Zhutian broke free from the Shadow Prison, drawing his sword.

Just when Li Ran thought he was going to fight, the guy turned and ran!

“…”

“Running?”

Li Ran’s foot shattered the blue bricks as he instantly appeared above Chen Zhutian, slapping him down.

Chen Zhutian hit the ground, wincing in pain.

Looking at Li Ran slowly approaching, fear filled his eyes. “We have no grudge against each other, so why are you attacking me?”

Li Ran grinned, showing his white teeth. “I’m from the Demonic Sect. Do I need a reason to beat you?”

“…”

Chen Zhutian felt his scalp tingle. “I-I’m a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion. You can’t touch me!”

“You’re the one I want to beat!”

Li Ran swung his fists again, pummeling him into a swollen mess.

If he remembered correctly, this guy seemed interested in Yue Jianli?

Thinking of this, Li Ran hit even harder.

Left slap, right slap, until Chen Zhutian’s face was as swollen as a pig’s head…

“That’s enough.”

A calm voice sounded behind him.

Li Ran turned around to see Lin Langyue staring at him indifferently.

“I don’t know why you’re doing this, but it’s time to stop,” she said in a voice as ethereal as if it came from the heavens.

Li Ran sneered, “Isn’t that too hypocritical? You only step in after I’m done beating them?”

His Shadow Prison had a wide range, only effective against Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators, not Golden Core stage ones.

If Chen Zhutian could break free, how could it restrain Lin Langyue?

Lin Langyue remained composed. “I had to ensure the safety of my sect disciples first.”

No one was behind her anymore.

It turned out that during the scuffle, she had already sent the Central Heaven Sect disciples away.

“That makes sense.”

Li Ran nodded.

He looked at Lin Langyue and suddenly said, “Did you know, when I heard you were coming, I was really happy.”

Her brow furrowed slightly at his seemingly confessional tone. “What do you mean by that?”

Li Ran replied, “Because now I can fulfill a promise.”

“What promise?”

Lin Langyue was puzzled.

Li Ran cracked his joints, his smile radiant.

“To beat you up.”

As soon as he spoke.

He appeared behind her like a phantom, his fist whistling through the air!

At the same time, he activated the Soul Suppression Seal, rendering her immobile!

Just as his fist was about to connect, her figure dispersed like foam.

His punch hit nothing but air.

Li Ran quickly turned back, seeing her floating in the air, her white robes fluttering like a bright moon.

“In the same realm, no matter what abilities you have, you cannot touch me.”

…

Lin Langyue spoke softly, “This is the technique of the Central Heaven Sect.”

Though her tone was calm, it was filled with extreme confidence.

“Is that so?”

Li Ran took a step forward, and the sky darkened as massive clouds gathered overhead.

Lin Langyue’s brows furrowed slightly.

“Your otherworldly demeanor is really annoying.”

As Li Ran spoke, an ancient and wild aura surged out, causing hearts to tremble.

Lin Langyue, oppressed by the vast might of the heavens and earth, slowly descended, finding it hard to move.

“What kind of technique is this?” Her brows furrowed even more.

Li Ran’s smile turned cold. “This move is called ‘Don’t Pretend; Pretending Gets You Struck by Lightning!’”

Dark clouds loomed, threatening to crush the city!

In the vortex of black clouds, lightning gathered, and a massive thunderbolt crashed down!

Heaven’s might sought its target, striking down with divine wrath!

“What is this…”

Lin Langyue’s normally calm eyes were now filled with shock!

Boom!

Lightning exploded, obliterating everything!

…

On the other side, Xiang Ze and the Vice City Lord were rushing over furiously.

“Damn it! I’ll see who dares to cause trouble in my Qingzhou City?” Xiang Ze gritted his teeth in anger.

The Vice City Lord also rolled up his sleeves. “Let’s take him down!”

Boom!

Amidst the deafening roar, the two halted.

Seeing the terrifying lightning before them, they felt a lump in their throats.

“Is this… heavenly tribulation?”

“Could someone be transcending a tribulation here?!”
