205: System, fill me up!

Afternoon.

Niu Er and Ma Wu escorted the fifth suspect of the day into the hall.

"My Lord, this demon stole 1,200 taels of silver from his neighbor."

The fifth suspect was a scrawny young man who looked shifty-eyed and thievish.

Hearing Niu Er declare his crime, he immediately fell to his knees, kowtowing repeatedly to Jiang Lan.

"Hall Master, this humble one knows his mistake! This humble one will definitely turn over a new leaf and be a demon anew!"

"It's fine, it's fine." Jiang Lan stepped down from his seat, smiling at the person in front of him. "Just be more careful in your next life."

As he spoke, Jiang Lan placed his hand on the man's head.

"Pfft!"

The shifty-eyed young man immediately died, deader than dead.

[Slaughtered a Mortal Shedding Second Level Rat Demon, gained 1,804 years of Lifespan.]

[Remaining Lifespan: 12,427 years.]

Looking at the words on the light screen in front of him, Jiang Lan clicked his tongue.

This was the least.

The previous four demons were all over 2,000 years; this one was only over 1,800.

But it was still acceptable.

Today's harvest was also considerable; if not quite 10,000 years, then over 9,000.

This Lifespan was enough for him to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, to what level of Nascent Soul he could Breakthrough, Jiang Lan did not know yet.

But it didn't matter.

10,000 years a day, even if every minor Realm of the Nascent Soul Realm required 10,000 years to Breakthrough, for Jiang Lan, it would only take nine days.

Having waited this long, nine days was even less of a concern for Jiang Lan.

He glanced at the corpse in front of him and waved his hand.

"Take it away and find a place to bury it."

"Yes, sir!"

Niu Er and Ma Wu answered in unison.

They dared not refuse.

Today, they had already witnessed Jiang Lan's methods.

Killing a Mortal Shedding demon, for Jiang Lan, seemed no different from stepping on an ant.

They had no doubt that if Jiang Lan wanted to kill them, it would certainly not be much harder than killing the group of suspects brought in today.

Therefore, at this moment, they were completely obedient to Jiang Lan.

After Niu Er and Ma Wu left, Jiang Lan looked at the sky outside.

The Demon Domain sky was inherently dim, but after getting used to it, judging the time by the sky was not difficult.

At this time, it was almost time to dismiss.

Jiang Lan waved his hand.

"Alright, you can all go."

Today's mission was completed to Perfection, and Jiang Lan was in a good mood. Moreover, he was eager to go back and improve his Cultivation, so he didn't bother to say anything more to the others.

At this moment, Cui Yushan stepped forward.

"My Lord, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should."

Jiang Lan glanced at him. "Just say what you want to say."

"My Lord, many of the suspects you killed today have deep backgrounds, especially the first one, that Hall Master Chan. His father is the Hall Master of the Ju Bao Hall in our Alliance."

"Oh?"

Although he was a Hall Master of the Luan Yao Alliance, Jiang Lan was not really familiar with these positions within the Luan Yao Alliance.

He had never even heard of the Ju Bao Hall Cui Yushan mentioned.

However, since he was a Hall Master, his strength would probably not be weak.

"Hall Master of Ju Bao Hall? What Realm?"

"It is rumored that he should be at the Demon Core Sixth Level," Cui Yushan said. "However, although Hall Master Chan's strength is not as great as yours, Ju Bao Hall manages most of the business within our Luan Yao Alliance, and its status within the Alliance..."

Jiang Lan was too lazy to listen further.

Demon Core Sixth Level, for him, was roughly equivalent to no threat.

As for his status within the Alliance... no matter how high his status, Jiang Lan didn't believe it could be higher than his own, could it?

The Alliance Leader of the Luan Yao Alliance was his sworn brother.

Therefore, no matter how capable that Hall Master Chan was, he couldn't stir up any waves with Jiang Lan.

"I understand. You don't need to worry about this. If you catch the relatives or children of those Demon Infant Hall Masters in the future, then come and tell me."

Having said that, Jiang Lan ignored the others and left the main hall directly.

Leaving Cui Yushan behind, astonished.

What exactly was the background of this new Hall Master of theirs?

This fearless attitude, if he caused some major problem, it might be difficult to resolve.

On the other side, Jiang Lan had already returned to his residence.

Hearing the sound, Wang Erniu came out of the second-floor room to greet him.

"Master, you're back."

"Mm." Jiang Lan nodded, then asked, "Have you been staying here all day?"

"Yes, I'm unfamiliar with the place, and I was afraid of causing you more trouble if I went out."

"It's fine." Jiang Lan casually tossed a silver ingot to Wang Erniu. "Go out when you need to; I don't need you to do anything."

Wang Erniu looked at the silver in her hand, her face showing confusion.

"This is... silver used by humans?"

Jiang Lan was first stunned, then remembered that Wang Erniu didn't know the currency used here.

The silver he gave Wang Erniu was what he had left over from before, unspent.

Originally, there wasn't much left, but after entering the Demon Domain, there was no place to use silver, so he had kept it.

He didn't expect it to be used here.

"Yes, transactions here don't use contributions or those messy pills; they all use silver. Keep it, and feel free to go out and wander around, buy whatever you want."

At this moment, Jiang Lan seemed to remember something and continued to say to Wang Erniu:

"Oh, right, have you sorted out the list?"

"It's sorted." Wang Erniu pulled out a folded piece of Xuan paper from somewhere and handed it to Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan took it, unfolded it, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Written on the Xuan paper was a string of names, along with their Realms and what kind of demon they were.

To Jiang Lan's surprise, the handwriting on it was actually not bad.

At the very least, it was presentable.

"Tsk... You're better than Yu Zhi."

"Yu Zhi?" Wang Erniu was puzzled.

Jiang Lan smiled, didn't explain, put away the Xuan paper, and said:

"Alright, go back. I'm going upstairs."

He planned to give this list to Cui Yushan tomorrow and have him investigate.

As for now, the most important thing, of course, was to quickly improve his Realm.

He had been stuck at Core Formation for quite some time.

Now, the opportunity to step into Nascent Soul was right before his eyes, and Jiang Lan would be lying if he said he wasn't anxious.

He went upstairs, pushed open the door, and directly sat cross-legged on the large chair.

In front of him, a light screen appeared... [Name: Jiang Lan]
