Chapter 207 - 207 How Long Are You Going to Hug

207 How Long Are You Going to Hug

Lin Ran’s voice was very soft, but in the empress’s ears, it was like a thunderclap!

In the past, people often said that one had to embark on the path of cultivation. However, in the empress’s opinion, the path of cultivation was more like a constantly changing huge network.

Every point of the network along the way was a choice.

These “network points” could be opportunities or tribulations. The only thing they had in common was that they could not be replicated. At the same time, these “network points” would not appear in the same place twice.

This led to the fact that even if the same person took the same path of cultivation again, they might not be able to achieve the same result.

The achievements and cultivation of every martial artist could not be replicated. Without opportunities, even if an immortal descended to the world to personally guide someone, it would be of much help. That was why those high-realm martial artists were so respected.

But now, the Great Yong Dynasty had actually mastered the method to nurture martial artists. This was against the rules of the cultivation. How could the empress not be surprised?

“Are you sure?”

The empress asked in a hoarse voice, but she already knew the answer. The hundreds of Grandmasters in Nanjiang Town were the best proof.

Lin Ran did not answer. He frowned and continued, “But there is something puzzling. There are so many grandmasters in the Great Yong Dynasty. If they joined the war a few days ago, they would be able to advance to the capital of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty in a day. Why didn’t they do that?”

“It might be…”

The empress wanted to say that it was because of the agreement between the countries, but before she could say anything, she knew that it was unlikely.

The Great Yong Dynasty had hundreds of grandmasters. Even if they broke the agreement and were condemned by all the other countries, they had nothing to worry about.

Lin Ran didn’t know what the empress was thinking, or perhaps he knew, but he didn’t care. He paused for a moment before continuing to analyze, “So I have a bold guess. These Grandmasters in Nanjiang Town might be different from what we understand about grandmasters.”

“There must be a restriction on them that we don’t know about. This restriction causes them to be unable to use their full strength, or they can’t leave Nanjiang Town for too long. In short, there must be some kind of restriction. Otherwise, this doesn’t make sense.”

The empress thought for a moment and knew that what Lin Ran said made sense. Just as she was about to say her opinion, she realized that Lin Ran was looking at her with an obscure expression. It was obvious that he had something to say.

“Just say it.”

The empress frowned slightly and was a little angry.

With the empress’s approval, Lin Ran immediately put on a sly expression. “I think this ‘restriction’ is why your mother is staying here. There’s nothing strange about this town. She must have the answer, so can you…”

“No!”

Before Lin Ran could finish, the empress decisively rejected, “If she wants to help me, why didn’t she make it clear when we met last night? She’s my biological mother. Is she afraid that I’ll cause her trouble?”

“It’s all because you’re always causing trouble!”

Lin Ran complained in his heart, but he couldn’t say that out loud.

Liu Ruxi was the only way to find out the truth about Nanjiang Town, and the empress was the only one who could convince Liu Ruxi. Therefore, he could only patiently persuade the empress.

In the next hour, Lin Ran tried to reason with her, but the empress was still unmoved.

Looking at the empress cross her arms as if this matter had nothing to do with her, Lin Ran really wanted to coerce her into doing it, but in the end, he held back.

“Since you insist on refusing, forget it.”

Lin Ran sighed. With a flash of white light in his hand, the black and white Yin-Yang Sword appeared out of thin air.

Seeing the Yin-Yang Sword, the empress’s expression turned cold. “What are you going to do?”

“If we can’t find out the truth, we have to use a stupid method.”

Lin Ran smiled sadly and looked at the Yin-Yang Sword with a lonely gaze, as if he was looking at an old comrade who had fought alongside him for many years. “I’ll send you back to Fort Liushi, then I’ll destroy this place. It’s just a few hundred grandmasters. I can handle them.”

“Are you crazy?”

The empress’s expression changed drastically. She pulled Lin Ran back and said anxiously, “Who knows if there are Senior Grandmasters or even Half-Saints like you?”

“Moreover, there’s still Liu Hongshan missing. If he has already returned to the Great Yong Dynasty, once you attack, Liu Hongshan will definitely come to reinforce them. At that time, you’ll die.”

“It doesn’t matter if I die or not.”

Lin Ran smiled and looked at the empress with his dark eyes. “Keeping Nanjiang Town will put a threat to the Heavenly Saint and you. Unfortunately, I promised Sword God that I would protect you for the rest of your life. I’m afraid I have to go back on my word now.”

With that, Lin Ran stood up, and the aura around him began to rise.

Second level, sixth level, ninth level of Martial Master Realm…

Second level, sixth level, ninth level of Senior Martial Master Realm…

Just as Lin Ran was about to break through to the Grandmaster Realm, the empress suddenly hugged him from behind. “Don’t be impulsive! I’ll go talk to my mother!”

Lin Ran smiled smugly. Fortunately, he had long guessed that the empress would not be easily convinced, so he came up with this bad backup idea. Otherwise, if he couldn’t convince the empress, he would really have to kill everyone in Nanjiang Town.

However, when he turned around and saw the empress’s teary eyes, Lin Ran immediately felt guilty.

Lin Ran pretended to be considerate. “I know this is hard on you. If you don’t want to do this, you don’t have to force yourself.”

Sensing that Lin Ran’s aura had stopped rising, the empress loosened her grip a little. She raised her tear-stained face and shook her head. “No, you’ve already done a lot for me. I can’t let you take such a big risk again.”

If Lin Ran couldn’t persuade the empress to go and talk to Liu Ruxi, Lin Ran really planned to massacre Nanjiang Town alone because these hundreds of grandmasters were too much of a threat to the Heavenly Saint Dynasty.

However, this matter would not end with his death.

With Nanjiang Town destroyed, the Great Yong Dynasty would definitely start a new round of war.

The Heavenly Saint Dynasty sent a Half-Saint into the enemy country to cause a catastrophic bloodshed.

Just this matter alone was enough to make the Heavenly Saint Dynasty the common enemy of the world. At that time, they would be attacked on all sides. How long could the empress last?

While LIn Ran was deep in thought, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door. “How long are you going to hug?”
