313: The result of trouble

"I always thought that what they said would be better, but I didn't expect Huang Qilian to be so deranged."

Wang Wenshan and Xu Lindong had experienced so much, and they really didn't understand any of this.

Nor did they understand why things had turned out this way.

But seeing Jiang Lan in this position, different from other times,

They instantly understood that the fellow must have tasted the flavor of power.

That's why he had no choice but to act this way; after all, it might not have worked at any other time.

"I thought you'd express the same thoughts as them, since it sounds quite reasonable."

Xu Lindong saw him looking rather emotional and couldn't help but tease him.

"After all, you were also called 'Sir' here back then, weren't you?"

"If it were me, I might even be greatly tempted."

Wang Wenshan rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

"Sometimes I don't know what to say about you, but in this current situation, since it's laid out like this, it wouldn't come to that."

Moreover, with great power comes great responsibility; it's not as if enjoying these things means giving nothing in return. How could there be such a good deal?

Besides, didn't Jiang Lan say before that he didn't want to stay in this position?

That fellow inexplicably came over and forcibly tied him to this spot.

Later, he felt that he shouldn't and couldn't snatch his position, and the result is how things are now.

So he just felt that this fellow's brain must have been kicked by a donkey.

Otherwise, he wouldn't come to such a conclusion, let alone have any other circumstances.

"Although what you said is very reasonable, it's still the same old saying: no matter what this choice is like, or how the final situation changes, I believe these are already different outcomes."

"It really seems so. Forget it, let's not talk so much. Since Jiang Lan gave us this task, we have to do all of it well."

The two honestly finished their tasks before going to report to Jiang Lan.

Huang Qilian still wanted to continue usurping others to help him here.

But no one listened to him; some even thought he was probably out of his mind.

"I can understand what you said back then, and I also thought the problem wasn't big, but don't you think your discussion is a bit too obvious?"

"And we've always been used as pawns by you. What was the final result?"

They weren't fools; if they really followed the old ways, what remained would only be more outrageous.

"What do you mean 'used as pawns'? Didn't I give you benefits?"

"As long as you let me return to my previous position, I'll give you whatever you want. Besides, the Demon Suppression Division is already corrupt beyond repair. It relies on just one person and simply cannot be set right. Rather than letting it continue..."

"It's better to be frank; let's all avoid these convoluted details."

Huang Qilian's meaning was that since it was already chaotic, it might as well be made even more strange by adding more fuel to the fire.

As for the other people, because they had been beaten by Jiang Lan and Xu Lindong.

At this moment, they dared not act rashly and were extremely well-behaved.

"If you want to go, go yourself. We probably can't do things according to your demands anymore. Anyway, compared to those, this might be more effective."

"Exactly. Their strength is so great; even if we were stronger, we might not be able to defeat them. Anyway, if it were me, I'd definitely have to think carefully."

After hearing this, he sighed.

"Forget it. Since you've already said so much, what remains isn't what you see."

At that time, he had originally thought that if there were no other reasons, there might still be room for choice.

But now these people were not following orders or playing by the rules. He didn't know what to do next?

On the other side, Jiang Lan had just finished reviewing all the documents.

He then saw a Secret Manual that had been circulated a long time ago.

"How is this possible?"

The content made him show an incredulous look.

Because it stated that in three months, Yao Beasts might appear.

And it would be a Yao Beast tide. The current capabilities of the people in the Demon Suppression Division were simply insufficient to stop it.

Many of them just took their salaries without doing work; they were here just to secure a position.

Jiang Lan was also an ordinary soldier here initially.

He had no abilities; later, due to a certain Opportunity, his strength improved, and then he Cultivated.

But in the current situation, no matter how you look at it, it all sounds a bit unreasonable.

"What's wrong? We just walked in and saw you so nervous."

Seeing Wang Wenshan and Xu Lindong, Jiang Lan sighed.

"If I told you this at another time, you might not believe it."

"But now I can't care so much anymore. In one month, a huge Yao Beast tide might appear."

"Our current abilities cannot stop it, so my meaning is that if possible, we should first think of a solution, otherwise the people of this entire city might all die without a burial place."

Jiang Lan's words made the two gasp.

"You mean that this entire Yao Beast tide will come for us?"

"But when Huang Qilian was in office, didn't this situation never occur?" The two were a little disbelieving.

Especially Xu Lindong; he had always felt that fellow was somewhat despicable.

But it wouldn't go so far as to make the situation so awkward.

"Anyway, that's roughly it. Believe it or not, it's up to you. He didn't say anything at the time because this was a booklet that had been suppressed here. He simply didn't pay attention to the situation here and didn't care about the lives of these people at all."

His expression was normal, but Wang Wenshan and Xu Lindong's expressions turned ugly upon hearing this.

"I always thought that even if this guy wasn't smart, he wouldn't be like this, but now it seems I really overestimated him."

"Yeah, and he still wants to continue sitting in this position? I think that's no different from dreaming."

Meanwhile, Huang Qilian discovered that those who had once trusted him deeply now had no trust left for him.

They weren't even willing to stand with him.

This situation made him very displeased.

"If you have the guts, take out the things I gave you back then, because that's the only way you can be worthy of me."

"Otherwise, isn't it a bit too late to say you're quitting now?"

Originally, he didn't want to bother with them.

He also felt that the situation wouldn't come to this.

But now, this matter was even more outrageous than what he had previously imagined.

"If you say that, then we really can't help it, but this matter can't be blamed on me. And since things are already like this, if you really find a solution, maybe things can get much better below."

After a few perfunctory remarks, they left that spot.

Finding a relatively safe place, a few people gathered together and discussed in low voices.

"If you ask me, we should stay far away from this madman."
