Chapter 268: Gu Ran's Foiled Ambitions

In the next instant, an otherworldly sensation coursed from his Fate Chasing Kite Pupils into his mind. It was as though he had gained a new, peculiar type of vision.

"Go this way!" He quickly turned his head, pinpointed a specific direction, and darted forward.

"Hold on, Holy Son Jiang Chen!" Wu Qian, ignoring the surrounding cultivator inheritances, immediately followed.

"Wu Qian, there may be a moment when I can't directly intervene. Could you assist me with some tasks?" Jiang Chen turned toward Wu Qian, seeking his help.

"Absolutely!" Without hesitation, Wu Qian nodded.

"Then, thank you." Jiang Chen smiled and gripped Wu Qian's arm. Together, they surged forward at maximum speed.

'This speed is unbelievable! Holy Son Jiang Chen's cultivation base exceeds all my expectations!' Wu Qian's initial understanding of Jiang Chen was completely transformed, filling him with not just awe but also deep respect for Jiang Chen.

Simultaneously, a resolve to loyally follow Jiang Chen's commands settled in his heart.

Now fully grasping the scope of Jiang Chen's abilities, Wu Qian chose to align himself with Jiang Chen without any reservations.

Subsequently, system notifications resounded in Jiang Chen's sea of consciousness.

[Ding! You've successfully swayed a potential ally of Protagonist Gu Ran. Gu Ran's Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 1500 points!]

[Ding! You've accrued 3000 points of Villain Value!]

'Securing Wu Qian as an ally, not a bad result.' A subtle smile graced Jiang Chen's lips as he maintained his swift flight.

By this point, Jiang Chen's course was no longer directionless, and Heavenly Fate had minimal influence on him.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Soon enough, Gu Ran, Liu Xiong, and others came into the range of Jiang Chen's divine sense.

At that moment, Liu Xiong was already engaged in intense combat with a demonic cultivator at the Dao Comprehension realm.

The other demonic cultivators from the Burning Blaze Ancient Sect were unrelentingly surrounding Liu Xiong and launching their attacks.

As for Gu Ran, the reason they didn't target him was that he had successfully hidden his presence!

Currently, Gu Ran had adeptly concealed his presence, lingering on the outskirts and waiting for the perfect moment to ambush the unprepared demonic cultivators.

On the other hand, Liu Xiong was wholly engrossed in his intense battle, leaving him no time for distractions. Unlike Jiang Chen, he also lacked the foresight to anticipate Gu Ran's targets.

As a result, competing with Gu Ran for kills was not an option for him.

Within a short span, Gu Ran had already eliminated five or six demonic cultivators.

Those who had weaker cultivation bases found their cognitive abilities diminished once they became demonic cultivators, making it easy for Gu Ran to dispatch them with little resistance.

He had planned everything so meticulously.

While Liu Xiong was engaged in combat with the demonic cultivator of the Dao Comprehension realm, Gu Ran had plotted to capitalize on the ensuing chaos. His initial plan was to eliminate the weaker underlings, thereby accumulating enough power to aid Liu Xiong in vanquishing the Dao Comprehension realm adversary.

Then, at an opportune moment when Liu Xiong least suspected it, Gu Ran would unleash a sudden assault, killing Liu Xiong and seizing the chance to take his head.

In Gu Ran's assessment, the absence of any other members of the Heavenly Gu Society in this mysterious Cave Heaven meant that disposing of Liu Xiong would grant him unfettered freedom and ultimate dominance.

Following that, Gu Ran planned to methodically exterminate all demonic beasts and cultivators within the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, rapidly ascending to the level of a Dao Palace realm powerhouse. This newfound status would empower him to challenge the Heavenly Gu Society head-on.

Alas, dreams often prove loftier than reality.

Before he could even dispatch many of the lesser minions, a Dao Palace realm powerhouse from the Heavenly Gu Society had already intervened...

As this reality sank in, Gu Ran felt sick to his stomach.

Those detestable individuals from the Heavenly Gu Society really knew no bounds.

However, he was left without options.

With his current level of strength falling short, Gu Ran had no choice but to hold back for now.

Channeling his frustration into renewed energy, he went all out, fervently exterminating the demonic cultivators of the Burning Blaze Ancient Sect.

In mere moments, the entire group of demonic cultivators from the Burning Blaze Ancient Sect had been completely annihilated!

"Wu Qian, stay with Liu Xiong and Gu Ran," Jiang Chen secretly transmitted his instructions. "Gu Ran is one of my juniors. Please ensure his safety and keep him out of dangerous situations."

"Rest assured, Holy Son Jiang Chen! Even if it costs me my life, I will protect Gu Ran from harm," Wu Qian quickly replied.

At this point, Wu Qian also caught sight of Gu Ran.

Oddly enough, upon setting eyes on this young man, Wu Qian felt an immediate sense of kinship, as if he had reconnected with a long-lost relative.

What Wu Qian failed to recognize, however, was that while his initial impression of Gu Ran was positive, the feeling was not mutual on Gu Ran's end.

For Gu Ran viewed Wu Qian as an enemy now that he had aligned himself with Jiang Chen, transitioning from being a possible ally to a clear adversary!

Heavenly Fate had already made Gu Ran vigilant, and Wu Qian's entrance had only further thwarted his master plan!
