224: Two hours later, the spirit is fully transformed.
Old Wolf seemed only terrified, but he didn't appear to know what had happened.
That was understandable; after all, he hadn't even shown his face just now. He had merely struck down with a palm from the sky, leveling an entire half of the mountain peak.
It was perfectly normal that Old Wolf didn't know what had happened.
Jiang Lan looked at Old Wolf and asked,
"I wanted to ask, besides the Main Peak, where are the other branches of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall located?"
Old Wolf was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Jiang Lan to come to him just to ask about this.
"Wolf Cub... what is this...?"
Jiang Lan was not in a hurry; he simply explained casually,
"Now, this place is no longer suitable for cultivation, so I can only transfer to other branches. It's just that I don't know their locations, which is why I came to ask you."
Old Wolf's expression froze.
In his opinion, Jiang Lan's reaction was truly a bit too unusual.
Normally, if one's Sect was mostly destroyed and one barely escaped with their life, the first reaction should be fear and unease. But Jiang Lan, at this moment, not only showed no fear but was unusually calm.
Old Wolf was not foolish; of course, he could detect the strangeness in this situation.
However, detecting it was one thing, but he didn't know where Jiang Lan's confidence came from.
Could it be that this half of Yellow Demon Peak was destroyed by this Wolf Cub?
Old Wolf subconsciously rejected this idea.
How could that be?
He remembered very clearly that this Wolf Cub's Realm was merely Qi Gathering.
Old Wolf said,
"Little Wolf Cub, it's not that I'm lecturing you, but you'd best not go to the other branches yet."
"Hmm?" Jiang Lan's tone carried a hint of curiosity as he asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Yellow Demon Peak was destroyed just now, you saw it, right?"
Jiang Lan nodded.
Old Wolf continued,
"This kind of destructive power definitely isn't something an ordinary person can achieve. At the very least, it would require a Demon Infant powerhouse like Elder Huang. But what happened just now clearly wasn't done by Elder Huang. So, it seems our Ten Thousand Demons Hall has offended some formidable powerhouse."
"If you go to another branch now, and by chance you run into them again and they slap you to death, then it would truly be a huge loss."
Jiang Lan smiled.
He hadn't expected Old Wolf to seem quite concerned about him.
Jiang Lan said,
"Uncle Wolf, don't worry, it won't happen."
"You Wolf Cub, why don't you listen to good advice? You say it won't happen, so it won't? Do you also have the Demon Infant Realm? If you really encounter them, you won't even know how you died."
"Hmm." Jiang Lan nodded, "You're right, but I just want to know where the other branches are located."
Old Wolf was stunned again.
Then, he gave Jiang Lan a sidelong glance.
"How does that saying go among the Human Race? Good advice is wasted on those determined to die. If you insist on going, I can't stop you."
Old Wolf continued,
"Forget it, go ahead."
Saying that, he stood up, took out a map-like object from a simple shelf nearby, and handed it to Jiang Lan, saying,
"This is a map of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall's territory. The locations of the Main Peak and all the branches are on it. Just decide where you want to go."
Jiang Lan looked at the map Old Wolf handed him, a smile appearing on his face.
He hadn't expected it to be so easy to obtain.
Putting away the map, Jiang Lan said,
"Thank you."
Old Wolf waved his hand upon hearing this.
"Nothing to thank me for. It's good to leave. Now, besides the more than half of the Disciples who died, the rest have basically fled. Old Wolf, I should be going too."
As he spoke, his tone seemed to become a little sad.
"It's just that I've been under the care of the Sacred Hall since I was young, and I grew up on this Yellow Demon Peak. Now that I have to leave, I'm somewhat reluctant."
Jiang Lan looked up at Old Wolf upon hearing this.
Half a day later, he suddenly asked,
"Before, how did that Ape Demon and that Pig Demon know my Realm and background?"
Old Wolf was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiang Lan's question, then suddenly realized,
"Oh, you mean those two? You two happen to be neighbors. I thought, 'a close neighbor is better than a distant relative,' so I specifically instructed Huang Xing to look after you a bit."
"What, did he bully you?"
Huang Xing was the name of that Ape Demon from before.
As he spoke, Old Wolf seemed to be talking to himself, then continued, "But it seems so. It has indeed been a while since I last saw Huang Xing."
While Old Wolf was speaking, Jiang Lan had been watching him.
It had to be said that Old Wolf's strength was simply too far apart from his.
Therefore, Old Wolf's emotions were completely exposed before Jiang Lan.
Even if Old Wolf had the slightest fluctuation in his heart, Jiang Lan would be able to detect it keenly.
And when Old Wolf was talking to him just now, everything he showed was genuine, with no trace of pretense.
Old Wolf certainly couldn't deceive Jiang Lan.
Therefore, Jiang Lan could be certain that he had not lied to him.
Suddenly, Jiang Lan smiled.
Not bad, at least he didn't kill an innocent person by mistake.
This Old Wolf had been quite good to him when he first entered the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.
If he had killed him just now, then that would have been his problem instead.
"What are you smiling about?"
Old Wolf was a bit confused.
Jiang Lan said,
"Nothing, it's just that if you don't want to leave this place, then just stay here. That person won't be coming back."
"Hmm?"
Old Wolf seemed to vaguely sense something when he heard this, but he was somewhat disbelieving.
Could it be that what he had thought before was true?
But Old Wolf quickly denied this idea again.
Impossible, he saw it clearly.
Jiang Lan, however, no longer paid attention to Old Wolf's thoughts.
Anyway, he had said what he needed to say. Old Wolf could think whatever he wanted.
Without waiting for Old Wolf to speak again, Jiang Lan said directly,
"Farewell."
After speaking, he turned and left without any lingering reluctance.
To him, Old Wolf was merely a fleeting passerby.
He felt that he had already done his utmost by going to this extent.
If Jiang Lan were to do anything more, it would be asking too much.
Arriving outside Yellow Demon Peak, Jiang Lan picked up the map.
He looked down at it for a while.
The territory of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall was not small, extending about seventy to eighty thousand li both horizontally and vertically, like a square, though its edges were not perfectly regular.
Including the Main Peak, there were a total of eight mountain peaks belonging to the Ten Thousand Demons Hall, scattered within the square.
The location of this Yellow Demon Peak was closest to the Human Race territory.
Another seven or eight thousand li further was the nearest branch peak.
It was named Hun Ming Peak.
Jiang Lan immediately set his target.
This was it.
At his current speed, it wouldn't take long to reach his destination.
Two hours.
Given two hours, Jiang Lan was confident that he could elevate his Realm to Soul Transformation Perfection!
