Chapter 1155 Return to Linghai City

The presiding judge fell in a pool of blood, but Zhou Ran, who was originally dying, stood up.

"You...didn't pass out?"

Xing Ming opened his eyes wide and asked with his last breath.

"How could I pass out?"

Zhou Ran smiled faintly. Although it was a bitter trick, it worked.

He was devastated by the black spirit bead's mental attack and fell unconscious. However, while being devastated by the black spirit bead, Zhou Ran discovered that Xing Ming, the user of the black spirit bead, was also being devastated by the black spirit bead.

Zhou Ran had an idea and planned to use the bitter meat trick.

He pretended to faint, paralyzing Xing Ming, and then slowly brewed the power in his body to kill Xing Ming with an unexpected sword energy.

The strategy succeeded and he finally defeated Xing Ming.

"But you still can't change the world of immortality."

After saying his last words, the presiding judge Xing Ming closed his eyes.

Zhou Ran won, but he felt unhappy in his heart. Until the end, he did not pry open Xing Ming's mouth.

As a high-ranking member of the Tribunal, Xing Ming, the presiding judge, did something perverse and forcibly took away the Black Spirit Pearl.

Although he killed Xing Ming, he didn't know what this guy's purpose was.

Zhou Ran didn't know why Xing Ming wanted to take away the Black Spirit Pearl, and what kind of secrets were hidden in the Black Spirit Pearl.

Since there was no proof, Zhou Ran had no choice but to give up.

Zhou Ran came to Xing Ming step by step and picked up the fragments of the black spirit bead.

"Is there only one fragment? Such a fragment is not enough to be called a Black Spirit Pearl. Either it has been broken, or it has been consumed, or the Black Spirit Pearl originally looked like this."

Zhou Ran kept guessing, but his guesses were all fantasy.

The continuous battles with Yun Hong and Xing Ming consumed Zhou Ran's physical strength, and the turbid breath that he had finally suppressed at Lin Chang Peak began to stir again.

Golden Tong once told Zhou Ran not to fight for the time being after recovering, but unfortunately Zhou Ran violated Golden Tong's rules.

"It's really difficult to abide by the rules of the Dragon Clan. It's simply impossible for humans to cultivate their moral character like the Dragon Clan!"

Zhou Ran smiled bitterly and said that he participated in the battle simply because he was forced to do so.

Both Yun Hong and Xing Ming were strong men in the realm of immortals. I was thankful that I had a draw with these two people.

Yun Hong's death was related to the Black Lingzhu, and Xing Ming's death was due to his own sneak attack.

Zhou Ran realized that if he fought with a real swordsman and a strong man in the realm of immortals, he might not win so easily.

"Let's go back."

Zhou Ran said calmly and headed towards Linghai City.

After a great war, Linghai City was in ruins. It had long lost its prosperity and only remained in ruins.

But even so, the citizens of Linghai City really miss this place.

Even though the city-state had been destroyed, the citizens still returned here after the battle.

On the ruins of Linghai City, tents were set up everywhere. In large and small tents, the citizens of Linghai City lived.

Zhou Ran came back, and everyone suddenly became excited.

All the disciples of Linghai Sect came over and surrounded Zhou Ran.

"Zhou Ran, you're back. Why have you been gone for so long?"

"We are so anxious that something might happen to you."

"Have you gotten back the treasures from Linghai Gate?"

Everyone was talking to each other, making Zhou Ran unable to interrupt.

These were just the disciples of Linghai Sect. The citizens also wanted to see the great hero who saved Linghai City, and they all seemed very enthusiastic.

Zhou Ran was so tired and tired that he couldn't think of chatting with everyone. He could only point to the tent where Lingxuan lived.

Lingxuan understood this in his heart, and then pushed away the people around him, leading Zhou Ran and Qianxun to his tent.

This tent is the largest of all the tents. It can be regarded as the temporary main altar of Linghaimen. Moreover, the tent also uses sound insulation techniques. People outside cannot hear what is said inside.

"Where are the people from Yunzong?" Zhou Ran asked directly.

"Those guys have escaped long ago!" Qianxun said angrily, "The battle in Linghai City was all started by the Yun Sect. Now that their sect leader is dead, there is only a bunch of rabble left. The Linghai Sect wants to destroy the Yun Sect. It’s easy! But we still have to give the temple some face. Linghaimen can’t go out on their own, so we’ll let them go for the time being. In a few days, everything that Linghaimen has lost will be recovered from Yun Zong!”

Qianxun's words were full of anger, and Zhou Ran didn't bother to mention the Yunzong matter again.

The leader of the Yun Sect is dead, and the Yun Sect is now in decline. The Linghai Sect can take whatever it wants.

For Linghai Sect, the threat from Yun Zong has been eliminated, and the most important thing at the moment is the Black Lingzhu matter.

"Master Lingxuan, is this a black spirit bead?"

Zhou Ran handed the black spirit bead fragment he received from Xing Ming to Lingxuan's hand. Lingxuan became excited when he saw the black spirit bead.

"Yes! This is the Black Spirit Pearl! It is absolutely true and absolutely not false!"

"Is this the Black Spirit Pearl?" Zhou Ran was stunned, "I thought it was just a fragment."

"Zhou Ran, you don't know something." Lingxuan began to explain patiently, "Once the power of the Black Spirit Pearl is consumed, it will become a fragmented existence. As long as the Black Spirit Pearl continues to be placed under the main altar of Linghai Gate, , the black spirit bead can absorb negative power and never turns into a bead-like shape."

"I see."

Zhou Ran smiled slightly. Since what he brought back was the black spirit bead, he felt relieved.

"Zhou Ran, where did you find the Black Lingzhu?"

Lingxuan asked again. Naturally, Zhou Ran would not hide it and directly told Lingxuan and Qianxun about his battle with the chief judge Xingming.

After hearing this, the two people had incredible expressions on their faces.

"He is actually the presiding judge! How is this possible? What good will it do to him to do such a thing?"

"It is simply unimaginable that the dignified presiding judge could be so sanctimonious as to get involved in the Black Spirit Pearl. His behavior is not worthy of the title of presiding judge! Who instigated him?"

Zhou Ran could only face Lingxuan and Qianxun's constant speculations with a bitter smile.

Xing Ming's purpose is not even known to himself, and it is naturally even more difficult for others to understand.

Zhou Ran sighed and said: "The power of the Black Spirit Pearl is so powerful that even I can hardly resist it. It is better for such a treasure to continue to be sealed underground in Linghai City. If it falls into the hands of someone with intentions again, I’m afraid that the entire immortal world will be in a state of chaos.”

"Well, I know!" Lingxuan nodded heavily. Since he couldn't know Xingming's purpose, he didn't bother to ask for details. "Linghai City has been destroyed and the citizens are homeless. The most important thing at the moment is to rebuild Linghai. city, so that city residents can live and work in peace and contentment here.”
