Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Do You Know the Consequences?
The four Holy Knights are all high-tier Holy Knights above level 50!
Naturally arranged by Qin Lie.
As Lu Ran’s bodyguards, they usually follow him covertly. Their task is to prevent accidents when Lu Ran is alone, providing protection in emergencies.
Just now, if Liu Wenshan’s people hadn’t drawn their weapons and pressed forward step by step, they might not have come out.
At this moment, Liu Wenshan was completely confused.
The Liu Family professionals in front and behind also got quite the scare.
One of them came back to his senses, faced the Celestial Path Alliance’s Holy Knights, hastily put away his weapon, and turned to look at Liu Wenshan.
Asked, "Liu..."
Words left unfinished.
Buzz~
As if the sudden commotion spurred the rhythm.
A golden Holy Shield Wall exploded in front of each of the four Holy Knights.
Truly like iron fortresses, protecting Lu Ran in the center.
Even the warhammers in their hands began to charge, holy light gradually blooming.
Scared Liu Wenshan’s face turned green.
Hurriedly saying, "Misunderstanding! It’s a misunderstanding, big brothers, we... we’re just passing by, not here to fight, go, go, go, hurry, let’s go!"
Although he is a member of the National Defense Army.
But he was just an ordinary member.
This is the inner city, not far from the Celestial Path Alliance branch.
If discovered by the Celestial Path Alliance, mistaken that Liu Wenshan was leading people to block their way, this grudge would be big!
He can’t bear that responsibility!
But what Liu Wenshan couldn’t foresee was that even so, he made a grave mistake!
Among the four Holy Knights, Lu Ran swallowed a mouthful of saliva, unaware of this situation!
But seeing the alliance badges on the four, Lu Ran roughly understood that these were bodyguards arranged for him by the Celestial Path Alliance!
Goodness, four high-tier Holy Knights!
How impressive!
"Um, thank you, big brothers, I’m fine." Lu Ran politely expressed gratitude.
The four watched the Liu Family members leave.
Only then did they retract their defensive stances, turn to Lu Ran with a grin, but didn’t speak.
Then they slightly lowered their bodies and, amidst a loud explosion, scattered and leaped away, disappearing.
When Lu Ran arrived at the dungeon hall, the three guild leaders were already waiting.
Lu Ran informed them of the incident.
Lei Tai immediately got angry, blowing from his nose and widening his eyes, "Are you certain it was my National Defense Army people? Damn it, Liu Wenshan, right, I’m going to investigate right now! Once it’s confirmed, I’ll skin him alive!"
Seeing Lei Tai open his communication device to start contacting.
Liu Xinxin couldn’t help but smile through her tears, saying to Lu Ran, "It’s normal, with your leveling speed so fast, it’s inevitable to be targeted, but it doesn’t matter, since you’re invincible anyway, let them target you."
Lu Ran thought, true, I’m invincible after all.
Then looked at Lei Tai, "What about dealing with Liu Wenshan?"
Ye Hongyi said gleefully from the side, "Handle it as it should be handled, definitely won’t let it slide, in this world, the strong have privileges."
Indeed, the strong have privileges.
Because of Lu Ran’s abilities, he can have four high-level Holy Knights secretly protecting him.
Can have the three guild leaders personally take him through dungeons.
Can use Platinum Team Contracts worth 500,000 gold coins each as if they cost nothing.
Even was equipped by Ye Hongyi with priceless levelless epics!
The Liang Family provoked him and now has disappeared.
This is privilege!
Liu Xinxin saw Lu Ran a bit dazed, rubbed his head, saying, "Stop overthinking, it’s not that complicated. Let’s head to the Endless Tower and beat level 53, then we continue with the dungeon."
Lu Ran snapped back to reality, nodded, and headed towards the Endless Tower.
Teleporting to the 53rd floor of the Endless Tower, ten seconds later, Lu Ran returned.
This included the time for teleporting out.
The whole process was simply entering and throwing a Blood Spear at the 53rd-floor monster, just that simple.
When acquiring 530,000 experience points, Lu Ran recharged the Blood Spear.
"It’s done?" Lei Tai asked.
"Yeah, done, I’m at level 53 now." Lu Ran nodded.
Ye Hongyi and Liu Xinxin then looked at the global ranking of the Endless Tower.
Sure enough, Lu Ran’s rank moved up to 16th, among the four on level 53, undeniably the fastest clearance speed!
"I’m 11th, although we’re five ranks apart, my 11th is at level 55, so we’re just two levels apart?" Lei Tai lamented.
Because at this pace.
Lu Ran will be at level 54 tonight, and reach level 55 by tomorrow morning!
And at level 55, Lu Ran will certainly have the fastest clearance speed, surpassing Lei Tai!
"Exactly, haha... Lei Tai, why don’t you go in and clear two more floors? So Lu Ran won’t surpass you tomorrow." Ye Hongyi teased.
"Forget it, I’m a tank, lacking damage, level 55 already exhausted me, level 56 I tried several times, couldn’t kill the boss, the boss couldn’t kill me either." Lei Tai said helplessly.
After speaking.
Patted Lu Ran’s shoulder, saying, "I’ve never been hit this hard by you, kid, in my life, the pressure is immense, let’s go, keep running dungeons, if I look at the Endless Tower rankings again, I’m going to explode!"
Ye Hongyi smirked.
Gleefully saying, "You don’t have pressure, the one truly under pressure should be that spiteful woman Nanami, I’d love to see her expression now."
Liu Xinxin softly said, "It’s not the time, Nanami’s journey has just started, let’s go run dungeons."
Elsewhere.
The Liu Family.
Liu Wenshan sat somewhat anxiously on the sofa in the living room, unable to sit still.
Liu Yang asked beside him, "What’s the deal with Lu Ran? Why are Celestial Path Alliance’s Holy Knights protecting him?"
Upon hearing, Liu Wenshan glanced at Liu Yang.
Where could he find out!
"I don’t know, but what I do know is, anyone protected by four high-tier Holy Knights is a big deal, never has a newcomer undead mage been so protected before." Liu Wenshan pondered.
Moreover, arranged by the Celestial Path Alliance!
Is it just because Lu Ran levels up fast?
At this moment, another middle-aged man who resembled Liu Wenshan hurriedly entered.
Seeing Liu Wenshan, immediately asked, "Wenshan, I just heard from family that you went with Liu Yang to block someone? Why did Celestial Path Alliance’s Holy Knights get involved, what happened?"
Liu Wenshan heard this and truthfully replied.
The middle-aged man’s face immediately darkened, reaching an extreme ugliness, even his voice trembled slightly, "You... you went to block Lu Ran?"
Liu Wenshan nodded, seeing the middle-aged man’s face looking ugly.
Casually said, "It’s nothing, anyway, no fight broke out, the Celestial Path Alliance won’t target me just because I clashed with a few Holy Knights, right?"
But the middle-aged man sighed.
Said, "The key isn’t the Holy Knights, it’s Lu Ran! Do you know who the last person to provoke Lu Ran was?"
Liu Wenshan asked, puzzled, "What do you mean, who?"
"Liang Tai!" The middle-aged man said, "I got some news, Liang Tai’s son, Liang Shaoyu, snatched Lu Ran’s girlfriend, and then at the Celestial Fate Tower, Liang Shaoyu even troubled Lu Ran, but Liang Tai urgently pulled him away."
Liu Wenshan was stunned, instinctively asking, "What then?"
The middle-aged man sighed, saying, "The Liang Family... has disappeared..."
