281: Looking for flaws

“No, that won’t do.”

“We can’t waste time in here; we need to find a way out quickly.”

Although, with Jiang Lan’s ability, that guy was indeed no match.

But this Bodhi Tree, after all, was a spiritual entity that grew within this Secret Realm.

It knew everything about this place like the back of its hand.

Controlling them or resolving the surrounding situation was effortless for it.

Jiang Lan hadn’t thought much about it at first.

He also felt that the current situation wasn’t important, but now that he clearly understood the circumstances, he only felt speechless.

“I just want two of your leaves; don’t make such a fuss, and besides, the current situation isn’t as serious as you say.”

Jiang Lan still tried to negotiate with the white-haired youth.

Although he knew the bodhi leaf was indeed his, he also felt it wasn’t entirely unreasonable.

“You wish.”

“My things, you want them, you take them? It’s not that simple.”

“And aren’t you taking yourself too seriously? Coming to my domain, you have to follow my arrangements. Now you’re acting self-important.”

“And now you’re pulling this stunt? I will absolutely not let you succeed.”

After he finished speaking, a strong wind picked up again, and this situation left people completely at a loss for words.

“What should we do? Mr. Jiang Lan, are we going to continue wasting time here? Or should we go somewhere else? I feel this is a bit too difficult to handle.”

Although they had prepared, the current situation was still inevitably headache-inducing.

Hearing this, Jiang Lan sneered.

“I think you’re thinking too simply. Do you think if we want to leave now, he’ll let us out? What kind of temper does this guy have? Haven’t you seen through it yet?”

Wang Wenshan was a bit helpless; he had no complaints about following Jiang Lan in.

But the current situation was already beyond their control, and it was different from earlier ones.

“It’s pretty much like this. If it’s really as they think, or if they’re still struggling here, then the rest will be even more exaggerated.”

Meanwhile, people from another School had already gathered on the periphery.

“Anyway, we can’t break in. If you have the ability, then go ahead and fight your way in. I don’t think anyone will keep talking here.”

He wanted to shift the conflict to others, but those people weren’t fools.

They knew he was doing it on purpose.

“This Immortal Elder, everyone who survives this Ancient Secret Realm is a shrewd person, and on what basis did everyone enter here?”

“Does anyone still need to explain? This is not a difficult matter now.”

“But to obtain heavenly spiritual treasures from within, and under certain circumstances…”

“It definitely has nothing to do with the current situation. Anyway, it mainly depends on you. If you think this is almost it, then the latter part will be even more obvious.”

They wanted the old man to make a move, as this barrier seemed simple but actually presented many problems.

If it were handled properly, there would be no issue.

But they feared the remaining situation would be different from what they imagined.

“I was wondering what you were guessing; turns out you think the current situation is not the same as the later ones.”

“If you put it that way, it’s worth considering. It’s not too troublesome anyway, and the further we go, the clearer it becomes.”

His expression held a hint of a smile.

The Disciples behind him were also as shrewd as foxes.

No one was willing to use their spiritual Qi to break this seal.

After all, no one knew what was truly behind it, whether it was as they imagined.

Or would it be even more complex than this?

“I’ve already made preparations. No matter what they do, I’ve thought it through.”

One of the Disciples stepped forward first. He had considered many possibilities and felt that the current situation indeed needed attention.

Moreover, what he had thought of before was even more complex than the current situation.

Seeing someone step out to be the guinea pig,

that Daoist was still very happy, as it had been a long time since anyone had been so foolish.

Jiang Lan tried both soft and hard tactics, but the white-haired youth just wouldn’t come out, always hiding in the dark, even threatening them.

“Don’t think I’m as stupid as you imagine. If I come out, I’ll definitely fall for your human insidious tricks.”

“After all, you’ve often done such things before, so I believe hiding in here is the best approach.”

The people who heard this were on the verge of tears.

“I really don’t think it needs to be this way, and this isn’t a big deal. If you insist on saying that, then wouldn’t it be even more obvious later?”

“I also promise you, I don’t want anything else, just three leaves from your body.”

As soon as he heard this, the other party immediately bristled.

Wang Wenshan quickly used a calming tactic, telling the other party that it wasn’t like that.

“This isn’t right, and that’s not right either. Your words are incoherent; who would believe them?”

“I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you. If you want to leave, I can give you a way out, but don’t even think about coveting my treasures here, let alone the leaves on my body.”

For it, the leaves on its body…

were completely the Foundation of its Cultivation.

If it handed over its leaves, it would be equivalent to giving away its Cultivation to someone else.

It wasn’t a fool, so it was absolutely impossible to do such a thing.

The three who heard these words sighed.

The aunt’s husband was clearly easy to talk to, but his attitude of refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit really made people confused.

“Alright, then you’re forcing my hand.”

Jiang Lan took out other Magical Artifacts and placed them on the ground, then used the Blood Burning Art.

He only used less than 30% of his strength. Although he felt his lifespan being consumed, for him, who still had tens of thousands of years of life, it was nothing.

It was completely trivial; there was no need to worry about problems.

However, the Bodhi Tree here panicked when it saw this situation.

“What exactly are you? How can you have such a powerful Spell? And it looks so strange.”

The people who heard this couldn’t help but laugh.

“I’m afraid I can’t tell you that, after all, it’s my secret, and not everything is as you imagine. If it has to be according to before…”

“Then it’s completely unrelated to the current situation, so whether you say it or not doesn’t really matter, does it?”

He prepared to act forcefully, and the previous guy hadn’t even had time to notice the situation behind him had changed.

A strong wind swept through here again, but Wang Wenshan and the others had already steadied their footing.

They knew what Jiang Lan was going to do, so their expressions as they looked at Jiang Lan couldn’t help but be a little excited.

“If there’s anything we can do, just let us know. We’ll definitely help without hesitation.”

Jiang Lan rolled his eyes at the two of them.

“You two just stay put on the side. If you don’t cause me trouble, I’ll be thankful.”

Jiang Lan didn’t want to solve problems here and then have to save them too.
