195: If I can't catch you, I'll use you guys to catch me.

Jiang Lan’s expression remained unchanged, but a hint of anticipation grew in his heart.

He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the answer he sought.

Jiang Lan asked again:

“After the Alliance Head arrived?”

“Yes,” Cui Yushan said. “Initially, there were no factions within the Luan Mo Region. Back then, the Luan Mo Region was truly chaotic. This chaos persisted for nearly a hundred years, until seven years ago, when the Alliance Head arrived and established the Luan Yao Alliance. Only then did the chaos in the Luan Mo Region begin to subside.”

From this sentence, Jiang Lan caught several key points.

The Luan Mo Region had existed for nearly a hundred years.

Another key point was that the Luan Yao Alliance was established seven years ago.

This meant that what Wang Erniu had told him earlier about the Luan Yao Alliance having no laws was also correct.

There were no telephones in this era, so information transmission was incredibly inconvenient.

Especially in a place like this, it was likely that even mail exchanges didn't exist.

Therefore, it was normal for Wang Erniu’s information to have a delay.

Cui Yushan’s voice continued.

“Initially, the Luan Mo Region was desolate and backward. All the buildings were dilapidated stone houses. It was only after the Alliance Head arrived that the buildings in the center of the Luan Mo Region became so exquisite.”

As Cui Yushan said this, Jiang Lan felt even more strongly that the Alliance Head was problematic.

Although he had been suspicious before, his suspicion in his heart intensified even further now.

However, Jiang Lan still suppressed the doubts in his heart.

He said to Cui Yushan:

“Are there any prisoners in the Interrogation Room now?”

“There are,” Cui Yushan said. “Coincidentally, there’s one who supposedly killed two demons in a conflict and is scheduled for execution tomorrow.”

Jiang Lan’s eyes lit up.

“What Realm is he?”

“Mortal Shedding Fifth Layer.”

Jiang Lan strode towards the main hall, “Bring him over. I’ll kill him personally.”

His heart was excited.

He could finally get some action.

And conveniently, he could also establish his authority in front of these demons in the Law Enforcement Hall.

Of course, establishing authority wasn't important; it was just a side task.

Jiang Lan and Cui Yushan returned to the main hall.

At this time, most of the demons who had gathered in the main hall earlier had gone to stand guard at the entrance.

The only ones remaining in the main hall were the one in black and one in white, plus two burly men.

The one in black and one in white were likely clerks, and the two burly men were constables.

Jiang Lan stepped forward two paces and sat in the main seat.

Cui Yushan stood behind him and spoke to the two burly men:

“Niu Er, Ma Wu, go to the Interrogation Room and bring out the prisoner.”

“Yes!”

The two burly men responded in unison, then rose and walked out of the main hall.

Jiang Lan didn't have to wait long. In less than fifteen minutes, the two burly men brought a middle-aged man in shackles into the main hall.

The middle-aged man was also in the Mortal Shedding Realm and had fully transformed into human form, with no demonic features on his body.

The two burly men spoke to Jiang Lan:

“The prisoner has been brought. Please decide, sir!”

Jiang Lan stood up from the main seat. The next instant, he appeared directly in front of the middle-aged prisoner, his deep gray eyes staring intently at the prisoner.

The number of demons who had died by Jiang Lan’s hand was countless.

Therefore, Jiang Lan’s Killing Intent was naturally extremely heavy.

To the middle-aged man, Jiang Lan’s Killing Intent had almost materialized, sweeping over him like a tidal wave.

He was immediately so frightened that his legs trembled, and he could barely stand steady.

If it weren't for the two burly men supporting him, he would probably have already knelt on the ground.

“Sir, sir, spare my life!”

Jiang Lan was unmoved.

If it were a human in front of him, even if he were to kill, he would definitely inquire first.

But for a demon, he had no such qualms.

Although this demon wore a human skin, a demon was a demon.

Not to mention that this demon had already committed a crime, even if he hadn't, Jiang Lan would not feel the slightest guilt in killing him.

Jiang Lan waved his hand.

“Let him go.”

The two burly men, already breathless from Jiang Lan’s Killing Intent, heard Jiang Lan’s words as a great pardon. They immediately released the suspect and retreated to the side.

Without restraint, the suspect immediately tried to kneel.

But before he could act, Jiang Lan grabbed him by the neck.

“Si…r…spa…re…”

He struggled to squeeze out a few words from his throat.

But before he could finish, Jiang Lan’s hand moved.

“Ch!”

Jiang Lan’s right claw plunged directly into his neck. The demon who had just been begging for mercy instantly rolled his eyes, utterly dead.

Witnessing Jiang Lan’s actions, the others in the main hall, too, were startled.

This new Hall Master acted so decisively?

Originally, a few of them still had their own little schemes, more or less.

But after seeing Jiang Lan’s swift action, those earlier schemes were long forgotten.

With such a ruthless streak, killing without a single question, if they were to offend the Hall Master, their fate would surely not be good.

Jiang Lan pulled out his sharp claw, and blood immediately gushed from the wound in the suspect’s neck.

“Killed a Mortal Shedding Fifth Layer dog demon, gained two thousand six hundred seventy years of Lifespan.”

“Remaining Lifespan: two thousand seven hundred thirty-three years.”

Not bad, this one alone is over two thousand.

One more, and he might be able to break through his Realm.

Casually shaking his hand, Jiang Lan returned to his seat and sat down.

Everyone in the hall, including Cui Yushan, bowed their heads, not uttering a word.

Jiang Lan raised his hand and said:

“Take the body out. It’s an eyesore.”

“Yes!”

The two burly men busied themselves again, moving the body out of the hall and handing it over to the demons standing at the door. Then they returned to the hall and began to clean up with great enthusiasm.

After cleaning up the bloodstains, the two burly men wiped the sweat from their brows, “Sir, it’s all cleaned up.”

Jiang Lan nodded faintly.

He glanced at the scenery outside the door.

After all this commotion, it was already evening.

“When do you usually finish your shift?”

“Replying to sir, at the end of Shenshi.”

The end of Shenshi was 5 PM.

But looking at the sky outside now, it was clearly past the end of Shenshi, probably around the middle of Youshi.

Yet, none of these demons mentioned going off duty.

He supposed it was because he had just arrived.

Why wasn’t there anyone who wanted to rectify the workplace?

If there were, he could use that reason to kill a few more.

By then, he might even be able to break through his Realm tonight.

However, these two thousand-plus years might not be insufficient now.

He would try it when he returned to his residence later.

Jiang Lan looked up and said:

“I don’t care what method you use, but starting today, you must capture at least five Mortal Shedding Realm criminals for me every day.”

“This…”

The few people in the main hall all showed troubled expressions.

Where would they find so many criminals to catch?

Cui Yushan bravely said:

“Hall Master, it’s not that we are unwilling, but with the Law Enforcement Hall in place, there are not many who dare to commit crimes. Even if they do, they are mostly minor offenses. If we just arrest them…”

Jiang Lan said indifferently:

“It’s fine if you can’t catch them. Aren’t you also in the Mortal Shedding Realm?”
