255: Active alliance

Wang Wenshan felt somewhat uncomfortable under Jiang Lan's gaze.

But he thought Jiang Lan hadn't noticed him.

After all, he was well-hidden.

Jiang Lan didn't go too far, finding an Inn nearby to stay.

Now there were demon slayers everywhere, so ordinary demons didn't dare to approach.

But powerful ones were different.

Some might even disguise themselves as humans to probe and then absorb people's vital essence.

Jiang Lan only spent a little time to detect how many demonic creatures were around.

But before he could make any other moves, he suddenly saw someone approaching stealthily.

"What are you doing?"

Wang Wenshan was suddenly called out. He subconsciously looked back and, seeing Jiang Lan, he took a few steps back.

"How did you find me?"

If he remembered correctly, he had an invisibility talisman on him.

He had wanted to secretly observe Jiang Lan.

But unexpectedly, before he could even act, he was directly detected.

"You're the man from that small town before."

"Why did you lay hands on Gu Yan?"

Killing intent erupted in Jiang Lan's eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Wenshan quickly begged for mercy.

"I didn't do it on purpose. At that time, it was just to lure you out. I wanted to cooperate with you."

Wang Wenshan did want to kill Jiang Lan.

But right now, he had a clear understanding of himself; he knew he was no match for Jiang Lan.

Moreover, after getting closer to Jiang Lan, he discovered that he could use the Blood Burning Art.

This technique consumes an extreme amount of life force.

Furthermore, this was an ancient secret art, and most people didn't even know how to use it.

But judging by Jiang Lan's demeanor, he seemed very proficient.

"You, cooperate with me? Are you worthy?"

Compared to other things.

Jiang Lan just found the person in front of him extremely displeasing.

Previously, his actions against Gu Yan were already enough.

He thought, if he hadn't arrived quickly.

Gu Yan might have really gotten into trouble, and the reason Gu Yan encountered such a problem.

Was because Gu Yan was connected to him.

Wang Wenshan didn't expect Jiang Lan to be so arrogant.

After an awkward laugh, he extended an olive branch.

"I know you're entering the Illusion this time, though I don't know what you're going in for."

"But having a companion is better than fighting alone. Even if nothing else, if something unexpected happens, you can drag me along as a scapegoat."

He tried his best to promote himself, but only received a flat gaze in return.

"Not interested."

In his opinion, those who could fight him hadn't even appeared on the scene yet, so he wouldn't push others out to be cannon fodder.

"Just take me along, I think I can help you."

"And I'm here for something this time. Even if you hadn't appeared then, I wouldn't have done anything to Gu Yan."

Wang Wenshan found that no matter how he promoted himself.

Jiang Lan seemed uninterested.

Finally, he had no choice but to explain what happened at the time.

Perhaps because he explained it quite clearly.

So Jiang Lan turned back and gave him a look.

"And then?"

After he finished speaking, he originally thought Jiang Lan would agree.

But in the end, Jiang Lan just calmly uttered these few words.

"Then I hope to cooperate with you, because this time, besides me, people from another Family will also participate. They seem confident in having their Family disciples win first place, and they've also prepared very malicious methods."

Actually, Wang Wenshan had ulterior motives.

It was because he couldn't defeat the people from that Family.

That's why he wanted to lure Jiang Lan out.

Of course, the ultimate hope was to also eliminate Jiang Lan and achieve his own goals.

"That has nothing to do with me."

"No matter what they do, it's not the same as these current matters."

His tone was very calm.

The person who heard this was filled with disbelief.

"What, since you've said that, then I indeed have no reason to refute, but I think you'll regret it if you don't go."

"I heard that their Family seems to have a way to track the Bodhi Tree."

Wang Wenshan was about to give up.

Because he felt that Jiang Lan was too difficult to communicate with; it seemed that no matter what he said, he wasn't moved.

But as he was leaving, Jiang Lan suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his movement.

"What did you just say?"

"I said, their Family has a way to track the Bodhi Tree."

Wang Wenshan saw Jiang Lan's serious gaze.

He cautiously repeated what he had just said.

Seeing Jiang Lan seem quite serious.

He continued to explain.

"But I heard this is their Family's unique secret technique."

"It's never passed on unless you make them truly convinced, or defeat them, or exchange something else with them."

"But I heard their Family is very wealthy, so the exchange option probably won't work."

Jiang Lan, hearing this, fell into thought.

If that were truly the case, then these later matters should be much easier.

But he didn't want to use that method.

At the same time, he also thought of other ways.

"Alright, I can agree to cooperate with you, but you must help me with this."

With Jiang Lan's current abilities, there was indeed nothing to fear.

But his purpose in going to the Secret Realm this time was to find three bodhi leaves.

However, to find the bodhi leaves, there must be a Bodhi Tree.

If that Family truly had a tracking method.

Then it could be said to be relatively effortless.

"What are you looking for that thing for?"

"I remember it seems to be for the Fusion of ancient secret arts."

The Bodhi Tree is a natural creation; even if ordinary people obtained a bodhi leaf, it would be useless in their hands.

"None of your business."

Wang Wenshan gave an awkward laugh.

This person was truly as indifferent as ever.

"Okay, I can help you, then can you help me obtain the Divine Relic at that time?"

"What is that?"

Entering the Secret Realm, many unexpected things will appear.

Things like the Divine Relic are treasures left from ancient times.

"I don't know how to explain it either, but you'll know when you see it. There are many Opportunities inside, which you can also obtain, but what everyone sees and obtains is different, and one needs to have Opportunity to obtain the Divine Relic."

Wang Wenshan tried hard to explain.

Jiang Lan slowly nodded after hearing him.

"Okay, I understand. I'll do my best. If I can help you, that's great; if I can't, don't blame me."

After he finished speaking, he turned and entered the room.

Wang Wenshan looked at the closed door and scratched his head sheepishly.

He didn't know if this plan would succeed.

But compared to the previous situation, this was already much better.

And Jiang Lan, who entered the room, began to Cultivate.

Although Cultivating now wouldn't consume life force, he was still a bit worried that with more people coming later, it would waste time.

"Go quickly and find out when the people from that Family are coming."

"They are already on their way, but Lord Wang, why are you cooperating with Jiang Lan? Don't you have a problem with him?"

Wang Wenshan's subordinates didn't understand why he was doing this.

"What does that have to do with you?"
