Sun Yitaian listened to Su Changan's story quietly. Although it was not as direct as the illusion, it still convinced the great demon.
In fact, it doesn't matter if Sun Yitai doesn't believe it.
For this warlike demon, strength is everything. Even if there is no crisis brought by the saint, he will continue to work hard to become stronger.
It's just that after having such pressure, he will urge himself to go faster, but that's all.
After all, compared to Sun Yitai who is either fighting or on the road to fight, Yiran's days have been really idle recently.
Because of the letter Yiran sent to Linjiang City, its effect not only caused Tang Wei to go to Tianchi City to help out, but also caused Cao Cheng to postpone the medicine refining competition that was supposed to be held before the Tianchi Secret Realm opened. moon.
During this period of time, Cao Cheng was looking forward to Yiran's arrival in Linjiang City every day.
Because he believed that whether it was because of himself or because of Tang Wei's help, Yiran had no reason to pass through Linjiang City without entering.
The fact was just as Cao Cheng imagined, Yiran had no reason not to come to Linjiang City, but when passing through Dongsai City, Yiran ran into Zhang Fan and Wang Xiaofei.
When they first met, Zhang Fan took advantage of the crowd to secretly kiss Wang Xiaofei. In the end, he even wanted to put his arms around Yiran and put the blame on the bet with Yiran.
But Zhang Fan never thought that he would hug a woman because of Yiran's transformation.
The two of them were like a pair of enemies who had been bickering since childhood.
But after that farce, Zhang Fan finally expressed his feelings to Wang Xiaofei.
Later, in the Tianchi Secret Realm, the two of them cooperated with each other and their fighting power was astonishing. The number of opponents they defeated was only behind Song Yulong and the others.
Of course, the most noteworthy thing is that when Wang Xiaofei ran out of magic power and was about to be killed, it was Zhang Fan who also ran out of magic power and stood in front of her.
That was Zhang Fan's first failure in front of Wang Xiaofei. Fortunately, Zhang Fan did not die there, but a scar that was more than a foot long was left on his face.
However, Zhang Fan's efforts were rewarded. Ever since they came out of the Tianchi Secret Realm alive, the enemies no longer had the quarrels they had in the past, only the deep love remained.
That time they were able to come out alive, and the people who needed to be most grateful were Yi Ran and Song Yulong.
But since that separation, they have not met again, so this time Zhang Fan and Wang Xiaofei suddenly met Yi Ran and his party, and immediately cordially invited them to the house as guests.
After Li Jiner took an interesting tour of Dongsai City alone, the two pairs sat together, relaxed and drank wine.
In the past, Dongsai City had mostly talented travelers who came and went because of Tianchi City.
Nowadays, the reputation of Tianchi City is gradually declining, but it has actually made Donglai City and Dongsai City really lively.
Yi Ran, who had experienced two lives, of course understood that getting along with Mo Xiangyi could not only involve fighting and killing, so he took the opportunity to spend a few days in Dongsai City.
Just these few days left Cao Cheng waiting until he felt like the spiritual flowers he had planted were about to wither.
Five days later, Yi Ran and Mo Xiangyi said goodbye to Zhang Fan and Wang Xiaofei, and called Li Jin'er back to continue their journey south.
It wasn't until they were separated from Tang Wei for a full ten days in Tianchi City that the three of them arrived at Linjiang City.
At the entrance of the Alchemist Guild, Tang Wei looked at Yiran fiercely, but Cao Cheng hugged Yiran's shoulders with a smile, and said to Yiran as if he was a friend he had forgotten:
"Yi Ran, you are amazing now, so in order to wait for you, I postponed the medicine refining competition for a whole month."
"You have to give me some face and give proper guidance to these juniors!"
Yiran rubbed his head, still looking as innocent as before, and did not refuse the old man's kindness.
Although it was said that Yi Ran was asked to give pointers to the juniors, it was also a matter of forging an incestuous relationship.
After all, as long as you have given guidance to those people, you are considered their master.
Therefore, Yiran simply could not refuse Cao Cheng's kindness, so Yiran stood in the position where he once needed to look up to witness the start of another medicine refining competition.
Standing on the high wall and watching the young people below concentrating on refining the potion, Yiran couldn't help but sigh.
Just four years, it was just the blink of an eye for many powerful people to retreat, but I had already come so far.
Thinking about myself being forced to move forward time and time again due to various goals, I don't feel too much bitterness in my heart.
Because all the hard work along the way has not been in vain, and everything he has now is the answer to his hard work.
As he thought about it, Yiran's eyes drifted into the distance.
Cao Cheng looked at Yiran beside him and did not disturb him.
Because he has been paying attention to Yiran, and he also knows that Yiran is very tired, and that Yiran's journey has been extremely difficult.
Especially in a behemoth like the Luotian Sect, you still have to straighten your spine and face those factions with countless powerful ones.
Although he once applauded Yiran for going to the Evil Suppressing Peak and killing those spirits, he was also afraid that Yiran was trapped in the whirlpool that had existed in the Luotian Sect since ancient times.
Fortunately, Yi Ran can now kill the king, surpassing many geniuses of the older generation, and is no longer the little guy who still needs the protection of his seniors.
It wasn't until the competition below was coming to an end that Cao Cheng sent a message to Yiran, pulling him back from his thoughts.
Yi Ran looked at Cao Cheng apologetically, and then turned his attention to the young alchemists.
Although he did not see the entire process of their medicine refining, Yiran could clearly detect their problems from the appearance and efficacy of the medicine pills.
So without Cao Cheng's reminder, Yiran pointed out everyone's strengths and weaknesses, and then directly gave the ranking of the medicine refining competition.
Although some people are not convinced, more people are still extremely satisfied with the results.
So at the subsequent banquet, many people came to ask Yiran for advice on alchemy techniques in the name of toasting.
Because compared with seniors like Cao Cheng, the young Yiran is obviously more approachable and easier to talk to.
Yi Ran, who never refused anyone who came, carefully solved the difficulties in refining medicine for everyone, which directly pushed the atmosphere of this banquet to the highest level.
…
After the banquet, in Cao Cheng's room of the Alchemist Guild, five stern-faced figures sat quietly. The excitement at the previous banquet was completely gone.
The reason for this was just because Yiran, Cao Cheng and Tang Wei told some of the secrets they had learned.
"When I came from a remote principality, I experienced the Azure Dragon Secret Realm and learned that there seemed to be a special relationship between humans and monsters, not just hatred."
This sentence did not shock Cao Cheng and Tang Wei, and Tang Wei answered directly:
"Warcraft above the spiritual level have the same consciousness as humans. They can think and distinguish between good and bad. So of course there are also beings among the warcraft who are willing to be on good terms with humans."
"I even had a deal with a certain Warcraft King in order to refine the medicine. This is actually not unusual, but each has his or her own needs."
But Yiran shook his head and said:
"Based on my subsequent experiences, I feel that this is not the truth, but that there is a conspiracy."
With that said, Yiran stood up and came to Cao Cheng's desk. After drawing a circle on the table, he said:
"The empire and countless principalities are like a circle, surrounding the Warcraft Forest."
Then Yiran clicked three more points on the circle, and then continued:
"If these three places are compared to the three great empires, then these three places are where the human race is the most powerful and where they face the most powerful monsters."
Cao Cheng and Tang Wei listened thoughtfully, but did not understand Yiran's intention.
In their view, it has been the most common thing since ancient times for the empire to face the strongest monsters. Otherwise, would they still expect those small principalities to contend with powerful monsters?
So Yiran's next words left Cao Cheng and Tang Wei speechless.
"Since ancient times, humans and monsters have been at odds with each other about life and death, and both want to completely exterminate the other."
"But seniors, have you ever thought about how many principalities would be able to maintain their current existence if powerful monsters attacked those principalities at the same time?"
Cao Cheng and Tang Wei's pupils shrank at the same time, and they immediately understood the problem.
Warcraft is powerful, and the strong human race may not be able to invade the Warcraft Forest and exterminate the Warcraft, but Warcraft has the ability to pose a threat to all principalities.
But they did not do this. Instead, they launched waves of Warcraft from time to time against the cities on the border with about the same power.
The profound meaning in it made Cao Cheng and Tang Wei scared.
Even Mo Xiangyi and Li Jin'er, who heard this statement for the first time, realized that there might be a big problem in it.
"So, before, I thought this was a tacit understanding or conspiracy between the strong men of the human race and the strong men of Warcraft. They wanted to turn all living beings into poison just to cultivate the most powerful warriors."
Cao Cheng and Tang Wei all nodded, expressing their approval of this statement.
But before they could speak, Yiran continued:
"Not to mention what their purpose is, but this method itself has big problems."
"For example, the resources between the remote principality and the empire cannot be allocated reasonably. For example, the remote principality even has incomplete inheritance of cultivation."
"This makes it difficult for strong people to emerge from remote principalities, and many weak humans died senselessly in the wave of monsters."
Several people nodded again.
Especially Li Jin'er, who also came from the Principality of Wind and Fire, felt even more hatred for this.
Because after coming to the empire, she discovered that as long as the monks here were slightly more talented and practiced slightly stronger skills, they would not easily lose to the monsters of the same level.
But in her deepest days, even though she was extremely beautiful, she was only a one-for-one replacement for the same level of monsters.
Thinking of this, Li Jin'er asked angrily:
"Yi Ran, are you saying that countless people have died in this world for countless years just because of the game between the strong men of the empire and the monsters?"
"Do you think those who died, even the monsters, died because of the same kind of conspiracy?"
The icy cold and the resentment accumulated over hundreds of years froze the entire room.
But Yiran's answer was:
"That's not all..."
