1427 Extremely Reasonable

“Lord Dui, don’t force me to ally with Lord Holy and the others,” Ling Lan had a cold expression on her face. “I’m quite sure I can be the enemy you fear most.”

Lord Dui laughed coldly and said, “I can just take you out first to avoid being exposed.”

After saying that, the large axe in Lord Dui’s hand was swung once again.

Ling Lan’s eyes flashed in an icy glimmer. “Ice Age.”

In an instant, the entire tip of the tower was encased in ice.

Bang! The large axe struck into the frozen ground, causing ice shards to fly into the air.

After Ling Lan used her ‘Ice Age’ domain technique, she completely vanished. Lord Dui looked around him. He knew that Ling Lan had merged within the snow and ice. If he wanted to see her, he must first get rid of the ice domain and force her to come out.

“Earth Splitter.” Lord Dui decisively tossed out the large axe in his hand. After leaving Lord Dui’s hands, the axe grew huge until it shadowed over the entire tip of the tower. It was as though it was about to break open the dimension.

Right after, it chopped downwards in an attempt to crack open this ice and snow domain.

Boom!

The power was clearly terrifying, but the entire building wasn’t affected by one bit, not to mention collapsing.

It was clear that Ling Lan and Lord Dui’s fight seemed wild, but was actually quite restrained.

The chop didn’t do anything to Ling Lan’s ice domain. The entire top level of the tower was still encased in a layer of ice and snow.

After seeing the current situation, Lord Dui frowned slightly. While in deep thought, he figured out what the reason was.

The ice and snow domain focused mainly on defense. It merged with the tip of the tower nicely. The amount of domain concept energy his opponent had dished out wasn’t as restrained as his own. He speculated that if his opponent didn’t use 100% of his power, then he would at least have used 80% of it. Him on the other hand, only dared to use 50% of his domain concept energy to prevent this place from becoming destroyed. The difference between them was too great, so how could he get past that defense?

It was clear that he was in a difficult position, unless he wasn’t afraid and didn’t care about this building. However, was that possible? Not only were there countless people in the plaza, just the amount of equipment below them didn’t allow him to do something like that.

All in all, it was because of resources. In the center of the galaxy, as long as a person had money, it wouldn’t be hard for them to reacquire those types of equipment. However, it couldn’t be said the same in the Lawless Lands. It was being ousted by all the nations, so they would need to pay a huge price to get another set of the equipment they had. Even the 13 Lords would feel their teeth ache from hearing the cost.

Right as Lord Dui was hesitating, he heard Ling Lan’s voice in his ears.

“For defense, I wouldn’t dare to say that the ice element is the strongest, but it is still in the top three. Although your axe has immense destructive power, you still won’t be able to break through my domain, unless you don’t mind losing this place.”

“I have said that we just need a place to stay and I don’t want to be included in your petty fight. However, if you continue messing with you, I’ll show you why I was chosen to be here.”

“Whether you’re an enemy or ally doesn’t depend on me, but depends on your attitude,” Ling Lan said coldly. “I’m going to ask again, where are my people?”

“How about you ask that question to me?” Suddenly, a voice rang beside Ling Lan’s ears.

Ling Lan’s expression changed instantly. Before she could react, she sensed a strong force instantly hit her.

Bang! Ling Lan suddenly flew out from an area of ice and snow. Right as she was about to smash into the ground, she turned her body and landed on her feet. However, the force behind the attack was too strong. Ling Lan uncontrollably stepped backwards a few steps before managing to regain her balance.

Just one attack was enough to force her out of her own domain. There was no doubt that the person who just appeared was definitely a god-realm level individual.

Ling Lan swallowed the blood that was about to come from her mouth. She then looked coldly at a certain direction and said, “You should be Lord Qian if I’m not mistaken.”

She had met Lord Kun before. The feeling she had about this person was that he was stronger than Lord Kun. Then that meant it was the legendary Lord Qian in the 13 Lords who had entered into the god-realm.

“You’re a smart one.” Right as the voice finished speaking, a grey-cloaked man appeared out of thin air at the place Ling Lan set her eyes upon. He looked in his 40s. The aura around him was calm and peaceful. It was as though he didn’t have any power whatsoever.

Ling Lan said calmly, “There aren’t more than two god-realm masters in the center of the galaxy. I didn’t expect there to be one here in the Lawless Lands.”

“And what good is that?” Lord Qian sighed slightly. “Isn’t the Lawless Lands still completely locked up by the center of the galaxy? Aren’t the citizens of the Lawless Lands still living like animals?”

“It seems I’m mistaken. I thought this was the result of the decisions you people have made,” Ling Lan half-smiled. “It seems I wronged the lords who loved their country and people.”

Lord Qian was surprised. “Oh? What you said is very interesting, little friend. How about you tell me about it?”

After saying that, he flicked his right hand and the tip of the tower that was encased in ice instantly melted to return to its original state in the blink of an eye.

“Come, sit and chat.” Lord Qian randomly chose a sofa and sat down, then he gestured towards Ling Lan.

Despite facing a god-realm master, she didn’t have any ounce of fear in her body. After all, being taught by Instructor Number One at a young age and becoming Mu Shui-qing’s student when she was 13, with two of the strongest people in the universe constantly using their aura to pressure her, why would she be scared now? After hearing Lord Qian calling her, she slowly walked over and sat down firmly in a seat directly in front of Lord Qian.

Ling Lan’s fearless attitude invoked a look of admiration in Lord Qian.

Although they were both part of the 13 Lords, he still didn’t care who Lord Gen was. Thus, Ling Lan killing the original Lord Gen didn’t annoy Lord Qian. In reality, he was willing to see stronger individuals take over.

Of course, firstly, they must not disrupt his plans.

“Master Lord Qian,” said Lord Dui softly as he had already stood behind Lord Qian like a servant.

“Leave this place to me. It seems we have two more guests. Go invite them to come up as well.” Lord Qian smiled as he looked at Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang’s hiding place as he spoke to Lord Dui.

When Lord Dui was fighting Ling Lan, he didn’t have the mind to pay attention to any other intruders. Now that he was hinted by Lord Qian, how could he not know where the intruders were? After hearing his words, he immediately replied, “Yes, Master Lord Qian.” In the next second, he disappeared from where he stood.

After seeing her own people being discovered, Ling Lan didn’t show any panic in her expression. She was still calmly looking at Lord Qian.

“Not bad. Calm and collected. You have a bright future ahead of you.” Lord Qian noticed her demeanor and couldn’t help but praise her for it.

Ling Lan was as calm as she was before, not moved by Lord Qian’s acknowledgment or praise. It was as though the Lord Qian before her was just an ordinary person saying an ordinary statement.

After seeing Ling Lan not be moved mentally after a god-realm master praised him, Lord Qian had an intrigued look in his eyes.

“I’m interested in what you said just now. Do you want to tell me now or do you want to wait for your people and say it then?” Lord Qian spoke first and went back to the topic he was interested in before sitting down.

Ling Lan took out her right hand and elegantly pulled on the corner of her left sleeve. Then, she said calmly, “If Lord Dui’s inviting them up here, then we should wait for them to talk about it together.”

Lord Qian let out a light laugh after hearing Ling Lan’s words. “Haha, you aren’t worried about your two friends?”

“What’s there to worry about?” Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and asked.

“Out of the three of you, you’re the strongest and could somewhat fight against Lord Dui. Your two friends on the other hand wouldn’t be able to go against Lord Dui even if they were to fight against him together…” Lord Qian looked towards the entrance. “If they come, their lives won’t be in their own hands anymore.”

“What of it?” Ling Lan smirked slightly.

Lord Qian was surprised and then smiled. “You’re too ruthless, kid.”

With his capabilities, he saw through Ling Lan’s real age in an instant. At his age, calling her kid made sense.
