304: Pay the price

“Oh, my lord, why have you come? I am so sorry for not greeting you sooner. Is there something you need from me?”

Huang Qilian's position here was neither high nor low, but compared to others, it was a very comfortable one.

The reason he chose this place was that he felt it was much better than his previous ones.

Moreover, he had spent a lot of effort and money to get here, but he didn't expect that the person wouldn't waste words with him at all.

“Why did you activate that formation and use Yao Beasts to attack others? Do you know that the common people were injured because of it?”

He didn't bother to waste words with him, because others might not believe it, but Jiang Lan never deigned to lie.

“What are you talking about? I don’t quite understand.”

Although he knew what the person meant, how could he admit that he had sent those Yao Beasts to attack Jiang Lan?

It was just that those common people happened to be caught in the crossfire.

Otherwise, such a situation would never have occurred, and the person who heard this gave a cold laugh.

“Are you denying it, or do you think I can’t find out? Since you’re so confident and think I’m joking with you.”

“Then what happens next probably won’t be up to you. Of course, you also have more choices, and you might think that the current situation is fine, right?”

Huang Qilian, who was originally experienced and not confident about this matter, became a little nervous after hearing these words.

“You might have misunderstood, I really didn’t think that way, and this matter really has nothing to do with me.”

“If I really knew what was going on, I definitely wouldn’t ignore it. Did you see something wrong?”

“Since I already know, it means I understand the details. Now you deny it, fine.”

He clapped his hands, and soon several subordinates came over and took him away directly. On the way, Huang Qilian was in despair.

“I know you can’t do anything about this, so I won’t blame you, but this matter truly has nothing to do with me.”

Jiang Lan was waiting here for Wang Wenshan and Xu Lindong, who exchanged glances.

“My goodness, I used to think Jiang Lan was powerful, but I didn’t expect his connections here to be so strong.”

“I originally thought that it would be enough for him to be like before, but now it seems I’m the one who needs to reconsider.”

As the two discussed in low voices, Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow.

“My becoming so strong is only for my own improvement. Don’t feel pressured or think it’s inappropriate. Actually, this problem isn’t that big.”

Wang Wenshan smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.

What he hadn’t expected was that Jiang Lan remembered everything he had said.

At that time, he had originally wanted to ask him if he understood that issue.

But now, it seemed that whether he spoke or not, he was a bit at a loss for words.

“What’s wrong? Do you think what I said is incorrect?”

“It’s not incorrect, it’s just that I didn’t expect you to have such great power and such good connections with these guys.”

At the same time, the leader of the Demon Suppression Division finally brought the person back.

After he was brought back, he was directly thrown to the ground. Jiang Lan saw the person kneeling on the ground and merely smiled faintly.

“Oh, isn’t this Wang Wenshan? He wasn’t very impressed with himself.”

What he was thinking at the time was that if there were no other problems, perhaps there would still be room for imagination, and it wouldn't be so embarrassing.

However, this guy had no self-awareness and still thought these things were very simple.

Then whatever situation arose later would not be as everyone saw it. Of course, these other situations might be more complex than he imagined.

“Since you already know and fully understand, then what’s left is even more exaggerated, I think it should be.”

After he finished the content he had just spoken, the guy who had just been relaxed couldn't help but become more vigilant, feeling that there was nothing he could do.

“So that’s what you think. If that’s the case, then I don’t think this seems serious. Anyway, this is pretty much the result, and no one will guess anymore.”

And the moment Huang Qilian saw Jiang Lan, he finally understood why they were doing this.

“Don’t get too smug too soon, I tell you, even if you’ve bribed him now, what good will it do? Do you think it will achieve the desired effect?”

Hearing this, Jiang Lan looked at him with some confusion.

“Who do I need to bribe?”

“Or do you think that given your status, it’s indeed a bit difficult to achieve what you have now, but I want to say that you don’t seem to have the right to shout at me.”

The leader of the Demon Suppression Division was extremely surprised. He had originally thought he wasn't that kind of person, but he never expected this guy to say such words so seriously, which truly shocked him.

“Alright, since you’ve said so, then what price will you pay? You can’t blame me then.”

A slight smile played on his face, and with just a raise of his hand, Huang Qilian was sent flying directly.

Wang Wenshan and Xu Lindong beside him also showed expressions of satisfaction.

The two of them had previously been tormented by this guy to the point of being at a loss.

Now seeing him like this, the feeling was truly exhilarating.

“You will suffer retribution for this. You inexplicably came to scheme against me, I didn’t do anything wrong, yet now I have to pay the price for it.”

The few people who heard this felt it was absurd. If he truly hadn't done anything, then it shouldn't be like this.

Moreover, they were the ones who truly hadn't done anything. If Jiang Lan hadn't been strong.

The Yao Beasts he lured out would not have been dealt with so quickly, but even now, he had not realized this problem.

He still thought that Jiang Lan and the others had deliberately orchestrated this to act against him.

For a person like this, with such sordid thoughts, even if you explain it to him a thousand times, ten thousand times.

He simply wouldn't listen, still believing himself to be in the right.

“Alright, since you say so, then I really can’t disappoint you.”

Jiang Lan raised his hand again. After seeing this, the leader of the Demon Suppression Division beside him felt that Huang Qilian deserved it.

After all, Jiang Lan had only just managed to choose to return. If it was really as he had said before.

Or if these various situations exceeded expectations, then later on, it would truly be over.

So he believed that even if Huang Qilian died, it would not be a pity.

There was no need to waste his time here, or anything else.

And after he was tormented for a few rounds, when he came over again, he no longer had his former strength.

Moreover, he had now become exceptionally dispirited, looking rather startling.

“Although I don’t know what’s going on with you, I want to say that this is too outrageous, and what was it like over there at the time, does it still need explaining?”

“My lord, you cannot just listen to their one-sided story. This matter truly has nothing to do with me.”

“If I knew, it probably wouldn’t be just like this.”

The person who heard this merely gave a cold laugh.
