318: Confess everything

“I know you are very capable in this area. We came here not to do anything else, nor to interfere with you.”

“The main thing is, if there’s anything you need us for, just say the word. We don’t want this situation to be more difficult than the previous ones.”

He hadn't thought much about it then, but now it was even more obvious.

Upon hearing their words, Jiang Lan frowned.

“There’s nothing you need to do. As long as there are no Yao Beasts outside, protect yourselves and don’t cause trouble for others. That’s already a very good thing. Why are you talking about this now?”

His words made these Disciples very awkward. They had originally thought there might be some change.

But unexpectedly, he didn’t give them Face at all, and it was even more obvious than before.

“What’s wrong? Am I incorrect? I don’t want anyone to cause me trouble. Your kind of help is nothing but a burden to me.”

“As for the rest, it’s also different from what you see now. What you said is as good as unsaid; it won’t have any impact.”

After he finished speaking calmly, Wang Wenshan and Xu Lindong happened to enter. Upon hearing Jiang Lan’s words, they looked at the few people apologetically.

“We know you all want to change this situation, but it’s probably not that easy right now.”

“So, it might not be as easy to do as you imagine. We can only say we’re sorry; there’s nothing else we can do.”

Wang Wenshan spoke very earnestly, but the expressions of those who heard him were very displeased.

“What you’re saying sounds like the truth, but we haven’t offended anyone or done anything. We just have a common idea; we all just want to solve this trouble.”

“I don’t want to repeat these unnecessary words. I also hope you understand that your help is purely useless to me. Otherwise, why couldn’t even this small matter have been resolved before this?”

Jiang Lan’s calm tone made these few people extremely awkward.

They had originally thought that if those things weren’t there, it wouldn’t matter. But they hadn’t expected him to not play by the rules at all, and it was different from what they had imagined before.

“Forget it, let’s go. He’s not giving us Face anyway. Talking so much is purely a waste of time, I don’t think it’s necessary.”

One of the Disciples couldn’t stand Jiang Lan’s tone when he spoke, so he directly led the other two away, because they felt that at the very least, there should be a normal attitude here.

As the leader of the Demon Suppression Division, Jiang Lan was still thinking about other issues at this time. Wasn’t this intentional?

They had originally thought that if there were nothing else, there would be no need to worry about the rest of the situation, but now it was different.

After they went out, Wang Wenshan hesitated to speak. He felt that saying anything now would make no difference.

“Do we really have to do this? I think these people are also well-intentioned. There’s no need to say it too harshly, right?”

Hearing this, Jiang Lan looked up at him, a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

“Then you solve it, Huang Qilian. If they don’t cause trouble, this matter is easy to handle.”

“But if they do cause trouble, and something happens later, what can you do? Just talk about it?”

Wang Wenshan no longer spoke, because Jiang Lan was indeed right.

Compared to other situations, this now seemed truly helpless.

“There are some things I don’t want to say a second time. At the same time, I’m not interested in what I do to them, or any other plans I might have. But if even this continues to be a point of contention, then I’m not sure what the rest will turn into.”

His expression carried a hint of a smile, and those who heard these words were also a bit awkward.

“Forget it, I think you have a point.”

“We really shouldn’t dwell on this, and this current situation is much more difficult than the previous ones.”

The two had originally thought that if there were no other problems, the impact wouldn’t be significant, even if something really happened.

That would also be unrelated to the current situation, but upon hearing Jiang Lan speak.

His expression became very complex.

“There are some things you don’t need to worry about. Huang Qilian’s situation is also much more complicated than you imagine.”

“If it’s with the current ability, then those other things certainly can’t be done, so it’s naturally impossible for it to be similar to what you see.”

After he finished these words, the guy who had been struggling earlier completely relaxed.

Huang Qilian was shocked when he saw Jiang Lan actually about to make a move, and even use cruel methods.

“You really want to kill me? I know you are very powerful, and I know your methods are cruel, but it shouldn’t come to this, right? I’m going to die anyway. If you beg me, maybe I can tell you the solution and make this a little different.”

Originally, Huang Qilian feared nothing.

But when he noticed Jiang Lan’s gaze, he couldn’t help but shiver.

“Is that so?”

“Unfortunately, I’m not interested in what you’re saying, and I won’t beg you. Stop dreaming here.”

“Perhaps others would do such childish things, and perhaps to them, this is quite obvious, but unfortunately, that person is not me.”

Jiang Lan waved his hand, and the Spell he released directly restrained the man. The bone-piercing pain made him somewhat incredulous.

Huang Qilian had originally thought that enduring the pain of the Seal was already his limit.

But unexpectedly, he could be pushed further now, and he looked at Jiang Lan in disbelief.

“What kind of method is this?”

“Why would you do this?”

Jiang Lan sneered at the sight.

“You don’t need to know what kind of method it is.”

“If I were you, I should be considering those other situations, not the present, but unfortunately, you seem to have overlooked this point.”

The guy who had been struggling earlier now looked incredibly tense.

Yes, he regretted it. He regretted doing such a thing, and he regretted agreeing to that condition earlier.

He had originally thought that if there were no other problems, this could be resolved.

But now, it completely exceeded expectations, and was even more severe than the previous ones.

But regret couldn’t change the pain in his body, and because of the sacrifice, he couldn’t die even if he wanted to now, only able to forcefully endure it.

“Why aren’t you speaking?”

“Are the reactions I just gave not enough? I’d say it shouldn’t stop there.”

“But it seems you don’t appreciate it and are quite self-righteous. In that case, whatever happens next won’t be up to me.”

Jiang Lan acted again, increasing the intensity of the pain in his body. Huang Qilian writhed on the ground in agony, begging for mercy.

“I know I was wrong. Can’t I just tell you the method? We can all survive. I don’t want to die.”

In fact, Huang Qilian’s actions were largely due to impulse, but he hadn’t expected Jiang Lan to be much more ruthless than him.

His methods were simply not presentable. With just a slight movement of a finger, he became more powerful than him, so now he regretted it.
