The appointment of the Fifth Metropolitan Commander spread throughout the entire Black Annihilation Army in an instant, and the Black Annihilation Army was extremely shocked.
They didn't know much about Lin Ran, because only the top leaders in the Black Annihilation Army and the Ancient Clan knew about the matter of the ancient monster, while the grassroots were not aware of it.
However, as the fifth commander-in-chief of the Black Yan Army appointed by King Black Yan, no one would question Lin Ran, and no one would deny Lin Ran.
This is the majesty of the Black Annihilation King!
"This black jade pendant is the symbol of the Black Annihilation Army's commander-in-chief. With this jade pendant, you can freely enter and exit the ancient world and freely mobilize the Black Annihilation Army. It also contains our army's special martial arts and fighting skills. At the same time, you can also enjoy a certain amount of resources every month..."
Gu Qingyang looked at Lin Ran with a complicated expression and began to introduce Lin Ran.
"The resource quota is fixed, but if you want something specific, you can take the initiative to consult the elders of the clan."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Lin Ran nodded his head, his mouth unable to close due to a smile.
This is simply pie in the sky!
"Well, Brother Qingyang... Grand Commander, you also know my situation."
As if he had thought of something, Lin Ran said awkwardly: "Although I have been keeping a low profile over the years, I still have some enemies. I am definitely no match for them on my own. If I were to be ambushed and killed by those enemies outside..."
Okay, okay, you are still low-key in doing things, right? Everyone in the ancient tribe has heard about your deeds, and you are still low-key. If you are low-key, there will be no high-key people in the world.
The corners of Gu Zhen's mouth twitched wildly, and he had a new understanding of Lin Ran's shamelessness in his heart.
"It's a real problem."
When Gu Qingyang heard Lin Ran's words, he paused slightly, but then nodded in agreement.
Whether it is the Soul Palace or the three scorpion demons, they are indeed extremely threatening to Lin Ran at the moment. If these guys really have no shame and insist on attacking Lin Ran, Lin Ran will really be in trouble.
"Brother Lin Ran, you are the commander-in-chief of the Black Annihilation Army. You have the power to mobilize troops and generals. If you encounter a crisis, you can naturally mobilize the Black Annihilation Army to resist the strong enemy."
Gu Qingyang said in a deep voice: "However, the Douqi Continent is extremely vast, and our army also needs to garrison the Ancient Realm, so we only have a few strongholds in Zhongzhou, so..."
"I happen to be doing something in Zhongzhou next. If I can get help from the Black Annihilation Army, it will be a great help to me!"
"…This is our army's base in Zhongzhou."
"Okay!"
After bragging to Gu Qingyang and Gu Zhen, Lin Ran met the four great generals again. Except for Gu Yao, the other two had a neither-good-nor-bad attitude towards Lin Ran, but they were also polite.
Don't hit a smiling person, so Lin Ran said hello to him and then left the Black Annihilation Army.
It is worth mentioning that on the way, Lin Ran met a very powerful deputy commander, who came up to him and asked him a wave of questions as soon as he saw Lin Ran.
Lin Ran didn't indulge him either. A slap in the face made him realize who he really was.
After finishing his journey with the Black Annihilation Army, Lin Ran did not run around in the ancient world. The main reason was that this place was not like Zhongzhou. There were too many restrictions and the strong were too strong. If he really provoked some people who should not be provoked, it would be really bad.
What? Where do you say Lin Ran lives?
Naturally, I'll live wherever Xun'er lives.
Lin Ran could naturally notice the change in Xun'er's attitude towards him.
In the past, Xun'er always called Xiao Yan "Brother Xiao Yan" and called him "lecher" or "bastard".
But now, since some time ago, Xiao Yan has disappeared from Xun'er's lips. Although she still calls Lin Ran "lecher" and "bastard", the connotation behind it is completely different from the past.
A good night's rest.
The next day, when the morning light from the sky just poured into this vast and endless space, Lin Ran's figure had already arrived at a mountain range under the leadership of several Black Annihilation Army soldiers.
In the air, there were several huge warships suspended in the air again, surrounded by rolling dark clouds and a mighty momentum.
The pitch-black Black Annihilation Army was filled with warships. Lin Ran picked one of them and hitchhiked.
In the center of the ancient holy city, a clear lake was sparkling, and the sunlight from the sky poured down, reflecting dazzling beams of light.
"laugh!"
Suddenly, the calm lake surface suddenly rippled violently, and then a huge space crack slowly tore open from mid-air. After the crack appeared, human figures quickly flashed out from it and finally landed on the surrounding ground.
Lin Ran looked around and could clearly feel the uniqueness of this city.
The city was built with huge pale blue rocks. Perhaps due to the erosion of time, the city looked somewhat decayed. An extremely ancient atmosphere permeated the city, giving people a glimpse of the ancient flavor.
At the edge of the city, there is a layer of slightly transparent light shield. The light shield seems weak, but it gives people a feeling of oppression as if it comes from the soul. Even if Lin Ran's soul strength has reached the heavenly realm, he has already felt a sense of powerlessness and unshakability.
"The Doudi method..."
"Lin Dutong!"
A voice sounded behind him, and Lin Ran turned around to look.
The latter was wearing light silver armor, with silver light flowing all over his body. Behind him, dozens of Black Annihilation Army soldiers wearing black armor were holding spears, standing upright with a cold breath.
"I am Lin Xiu, the second commander of the Black Annihilation Army. Nice to meet you, Commander-in-Chief Lin!"
"No need to be polite."
Lin Ran waved his hand: "I plan to go back to Xingyun Pavilion directly. Is there a space wormhole that can take me there directly?"
"Xingyun Pavilion?"
Lin Xiu thought for a moment and shook his head: "There is no space wormhole that goes directly to Xingyun Pavilion, but we have a space wormhole that goes directly to the southern region of Zhongzhou. General Lin only needs to switch space wormholes a few times to reach Xingyun Pavilion."
"Well, lead the way?"
"Yes, General Lin!"
Lin Xiu nodded, and then his body turned into a rainbow of light, rushing towards the northern sky like lightning, and disappeared at the edge of the sky in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, an inexplicable expression appeared at the corner of Lin Ran's mouth.
It seems that although these Black Annihilation Army recognized his identity as the commander-in-chief, they still felt a little dissatisfied with this airborne superior.
However, a mere four-star Dou Zun, isn't it a bit too much to look down on me by showing off to me?
Taking a step forward, Lin Ran's figure disappeared directly on the spot.
Such a scene shocked all the Black Annihilation Army present.
You know, in order to show respect for the Dou Di strongmen, no one is allowed to fly within a thousand feet radius of the Holy Ancient City, even the Dou Sheng level strongmen are no exception.
In other words, what Lin Ran showed at this moment was pure speed!
But if these Black Annihilation Army were shocked at this moment, then Lin Xiu was completely stunned.
He was the one who set out first, and he was the one leading the way, but why did Lin Ran arrive at this space wormhole before him...
"You have mastered the wind and thunder attribute fighting spirit well, but your character and the control of spatial force still need more training." Lin Ran said to the stunned Lin Xiu with a smile: "Okay, thank you for leading the way, Second Commander. I will withdraw first for the next matter."
Lin Ran took out a space boat from the ring, waved to Lin Xiu, and then went straight into the space wormhole.
Lin Xiu, with a dazed look on his face, finally reacted at this moment, still mumbling in disbelief: "How is this possible..."
"He came through the air. No matter how fast you are, you can't be faster than him." A strong man from the ancient tribe stationed in this space wormhole said calmly.
"This is impossible. Even if this wormhole is on the edge of the Ancient Holy City, the strength of the space is not something that he, who is only at the Dou Zun level, can shake!" Lin Xiu questioned subconsciously.
"Haha, that's true, but it's the truth."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The ancient clan strongman shrugged and continued to call on the rest of the people to shuttle through the space wormhole, leaving the dull-faced Second Commander Lin Xiu doubting his life...
Lin Ran was moving very fast, and he did not stop for too long during the rest of his journey. Therefore, at his full speed, coupled with several detours through space wormholes, this time, it only took him about five days to reach the sphere of influence of Xingyun Pavilion.
After entering the sphere of influence of Xingyun Pavilion, Lin Ran clearly noticed that the aura of powerful people around him was much more than before. In some important cities along the way, there were even two or three Dou Zun powerful people in charge.
Even if one looks at the entire Zhongzhou, this can be considered a very significant move. After all, each of the original Four Directions Pavilions only had one Dou Zun expert, but at this moment, the number of Dou Zun experts in the Xingyun Pavilion is probably so great that one cannot even count them on one's hands.
This is the appeal of the continent's number one alchemist!
Of course, if it was the previous Yao Chen, he might not be able to achieve this level, but along the way, Lin Ran had heard the titles of "Yao Chen" and "Half-Saint Powerhouse", and he already knew in his heart that Yao Chen had fully announced the fact that he had broken through to the Half-Saint level to create momentum.
There is only one level difference between the peak of Dou Zun and Half Saint... no, it can even be described as half a level difference.
But this half-level difference is the difference between heaven and earth for the world!
After staying in the cities where the Star Meteorite Pavilion belonged for a while and learning about the recent situation in Zhongzhou, Lin Ran rushed back to the Star Meteorite Pavilion.
The atmosphere in the star realm is peaceful.
Although the area here cannot be compared with the space in the ancient world, it is similar to a city. Even accommodating tens of thousands of people is not a problem at all.
In some vast squares, densely packed disciples of the Xingyun Pavilion were training in an orderly manner. Their loud shouts, full of energy, gathered together and resounded in the space like muffled thunder.
The star realm today feels almost brand new compared to before.
Some of the originally steep mountains were directly opened up and groups of buildings were built. People came and went like ants, making it particularly lively. Moreover, among the huge peaks in the center of the star realm, there were faint smells of powerful auras that spread throughout every corner of the star realm. The star realm now truly had the feeling of a great power.
Lin Ran's figure shuttled through the space, sensing the current situation of Xingyun Pavilion, and became more and more satisfied.
Compared to the last time I came to Xingyun Pavilion, the current Xingyun Pavilion has undergone earth-shaking changes. The strength of Xingyun Pavilion now should be comparable to sects of the same level as Hua Sect and Tianming Sect.
"Master, you are finally back."
When Lin Ran looked across the starry sky, the space behind him rippled, and then an old figure slowly emerged. It was Yao Chen.
"The development of Xingyun Pavilion is really good."
Lin Ran retracted his gaze, looked at Yao Chen, and jokingly said: "Should I call you the Medicine Saint now?"
"Master, you are joking. Please continue to call me Yao Chen."
Yao Chen smiled and shook his head. He was only a half-saint. Although he could be described as a 'saint', he was still far behind a true Dou Sheng.
"It is you, Sect Master, who has a heavenly realm soul of this age, who is truly rare in this world."
"Not worth mentioning. By the way, where is the Mang Tianchi?" Lin Ran smiled and asked curiously.
"He was originally going back to Zhongzhou with me, but he disappeared after exiting the wormhole." Yao Chen shook his head: "That old guy is a lazy person by nature, he won't join our Xingyun Pavilion."
"He's gone. Never mind him."
Although Mang Tianchi possesses the strength of a semi-saint, he is careless and likes to travel around. Even if he joins the Xingyun Pavilion, it will probably be just a name. In addition, he is the dean of the inner courtyard of Canaan College and an elder of the Thunder Clan. It would not be a good idea for him to rashly join the Xingyun Pavilion.
Lin Ran didn't care too much about it, but thought of something, suddenly turned around, and looked at Yao Chen with a smile.
"Yao Chen, do you still remember what I told you before I went into seclusion?"
"…what you said before the retreat?" Yao Chen was slightly stunned, and looked at Lin Ran with some curiosity: "I remember that the Sect Master said at the beginning that if I could break through to the semi-saint level, he would give me a surprise. What the Sect Master is talking about now is this?"
"good!"
Lin Ran smiled mysteriously: "Are you ready?"
"Still need to prepare?"
Yao Chen's curiosity was completely aroused, and at this moment, Feng Xian's figure also appeared. Hearing the words between Yao Chen and Lin Ran, he was also extremely curious.
"What a surprise, Sect Master! You can't be partial to one and ignore the other!"
"Why, you want a surprise too?"
"Of course, who doesn't want a surprise?" Feng Xian rubbed his hands pretending to be a fly: "Although I haven't broken through to the semi-saint level like this old guy, I have spent a lot of effort to make Xingyun Pavilion reach this level now. If you have a surprise, don't forget me!"
"Hiss, that makes sense."
Lin Ran nodded in agreement: "If that's the case, then you should also get ready and go with Yao Chen."
"A trip?"
"This... Sect Master, there is definitely no problem with taking a trip, but this time we are going to..."
"Danta."
After these words came out, the expressions of both of them changed slightly...
