133: Someone from the Demon Suppression Division
The people from the Wu Country Demon Suppression Division below naturally also saw Jiang Lan’s head peeking out.
The leader made a gesture, and the people following him all rushed towards the stairs.
The leader, however, bent his legs slightly and leaped up.
The two-story void was nearly three zhang high, but his figure was as light as a wild goose, softly landing not far in front of Jiang Lan’s room.
Taking two steps forward, the leader of the Wu Country Demon Suppression Division saw the scene of a human Hell in the room, and immediately became alert, his eyes fixed on Jiang Lan.
“Who are you? Why did you kill so many people?”
Jiang Lan smiled.
He was originally worried about how to deal with these corpses.
But now that the Wu Country Demon Suppression Division had arrived, someone would naturally clean up the mess.
“I merely saw an injustice.”
The leading man stared with wide eyes.
“You saw an injustice, so you took so many lives?”
Jiang Lan had no intention of explaining, he simply released his Aura.
The Aura of a Mortal Shedding Peak Martial Artist erupted completely, instantly covering the entire Inn.
Not to mention the leader who was instantly stunned, even the other people from the Wu Country Demon Suppression Division who had just come up the stairs were all aghast and stood rooted to the spot.
“This… This is… Mortal Shedding?”
The leader was dumbfounded.
Their entire Wu Country didn’t have many Mortal Shedding Martial Artists, yet today, he actually encountered one?
Logically, his official position was not small, and he was a Demon Suppression Envoy like Jiang Lan. It was just that because Wu Country’s comprehensive national strength was relatively stronger, his Realm was Gathering Yuan Eighth Layer.
Although Gathering Yuan Eighth Layer and Mortal Shedding only seemed to be two minor Realms apart, the actual difference could basically be described as a world of difference.
A Mortal Shedding Martial Artist meant shedding their mortal body, with all their essence, Qi, and spirit returning to the Innate state.
Coupled with the effect of cleansing marrow and washing tendons after entering Mortal Shedding, the combat power of Gathering Yuan could not compare to Mortal Shedding at all.
Even a Gathering Yuan Ninth Layer Peak Martial Artist, when encountering a Martial Artist who had just entered Mortal Shedding, would have an extremely huge gap in strength.
“Do you believe it now?”
Jiang Lan retracted his Aura and asked softly.
The leader nodded repeatedly.
“I believe it, I believe it.”
What a joke, whether he believed it or not, he had to believe it.
Moreover, a Mortal Shedding Martial Artist, even if he killed some ordinary people, no one would blame him at all.
So he concluded that Jiang Lan wouldn’t bother to lie for such a small matter.
In his mind, his thoughts raced, and the leader immediately continued:
“Forgive my poor eyesight, I didn’t realize it was you, Sir. However, with so many deaths, it’s difficult for me to handle, could you please briefly explain the situation?”
Jiang Lan nodded, and then recounted the series of events that had occurred earlier.
Jiang Lan was not an unreasonable person, and moreover, this was Wu Country territory. It was naturally not very appropriate for him, a foreigner, to go on a killing spree in Wu Country.
Therefore, Jiang Lan simply explained the situation to this person, which would save him trouble later.
After listening to Jiang Lan’s words, the leader gritted his teeth.
“This Huang Changsheng is indeed an animal, he could do such a heinous thing!”
Immediately after, the leader looked into the room again. Huang Qian, dressed in white, still stood there, her eyes fixed on Jiang Lan, her gaze filled with complexity.
Jiang Lan also turned his head back.
“Wait until I’m done.”
With that, he walked towards Huang Qian.
“Is your wish fulfilled?”
Huang Qian nodded.
Jiang Lan made a gesture of invitation.
“Then for the path ahead, shall I escort you, or will you walk it yourself?”
“No need to trouble you, Benefactor.”
As Huang Qian spoke, her originally solid figure slowly became faint and transparent. In a short while, she faded to the point where she was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
However, Jiang Lan could still see some blurry shadows.
Jiang Lan stood motionless, watching Huang Qian disappear.
When her figure completely dissipated between heaven and earth, a voice sounded in Jiang Lan’s ear.
“Benefactor, take care…”
For some reason, the tail of the voice was drawn out extremely long, giving Jiang Lan the feeling of being in a vast valley, listening to someone speak.
Jiang Lan cupped his fists towards the air in front of him and said:
“Take care.”
After speaking, he turned back without any lingering attachment.
By personally killing Huang Qian, he could indeed gain some Lifespan.
But Huang Qian was not that powerful, so even adding a few decades of Lifespan would be remarkable.
It’s not that he looked down on it, but to truly let his state of mind fluctuate for such a small amount of Lifespan that could be obtained anywhere, that was unrealistic.
When the dust settled, Huang Qian had completely vanished. If not for the scattered corpses and minced flesh that hadn’t been cleaned up yet, one might truly mistake what had happened earlier for just a dream.
“Hoo…”
Jiang Lan sighed softly.
This matter was finally concluded.
As for Huang Qian, to him, she was merely a passerby. Although there was some regret in his heart, it was only a little.
To say there was a lot, that certainly wouldn’t be the case.
“Sir, you don’t seem to be from Wu Country?”
“No, I’m from Yan Country.” Jiang Lan quickly composed himself and replied, “Speaking of which, I am also a Demon Suppression Envoy. Although we are not in the same country, you and I can be considered colleagues.”
“Haha.” The leader was also very talkative. Hearing Jiang Lan’s words, he immediately laughed heartily, “That’s quite a coincidence.”
He continued:
“I have already understood the situation here. Sir, you did the right thing. You have also eliminated harm for the people.”
Jiang Lan didn’t respond, only saying:
“Don’t flatter me, I just caused trouble for you all.”
“No trouble, no trouble!” The leader said repeatedly, “Dealing with a few corpses is just a regular occurrence.”
With that, he patted his chest repeatedly and said:
“Sir, rest assured, leave this to us. You go about your business, there won’t be any problems.”
Jiang Lan nodded.
Since they were the Demon Suppression Division, what they dealt with most on a daily basis were definitely demons and monsters.
And places that dealt with demons and monsters would certainly not be without deaths.
Therefore, after such incidents occurred, cleaning up the battlefield became their essential skill.
It was just that Jiang Lan was too lazy. Even when he was in Great Yan before, if there was work that required cleaning up a battlefield, he would let the other people in the Demon Suppression Division handle it.
“In that case, I won’t disturb you further.”
“Eh…” Seeing this, the leader quickly called out to Jiang Lan and said, “Sir, would you like to come to the Division and have some tea together?”
“No need.” Jiang Lan refused outright.
He still had to hurry to Ling Country. He had already been delayed for half the night and hadn’t slept. His top priority now was to find another Inn and settle down.
Although staying here would also work, and he wouldn’t have to pay.
But Jiang Lan found this place unlucky.
As he walked forward, behind Jiang Lan, the two brothers looked at each other, utterly bewildered.
No, did he just leave us two brothers here?
