321: Solution

“What help can you offer?”

“Other than causing trouble, I don't see how you can be of any use here.”

“And don’t be too self-important, thinking that the past situation is no different from the present; in reality, it’s not.”

Upon hearing this, they were extremely embarrassed. “We know our actions were a bit inappropriate, but what choice did we have?”

“Moreover, we never thought it would turn out this way; our relationship with Huang Qilian was quite good at the time.”

Several people spoke over each other, trying to persuade the two, but they didn’t expect that their persuasion would not work at all.

Ever since Yao Beasts ran rampant, Wang Wenshan and Xu Lindong had witnessed too many cruel situations.

These were not soft-hearted tactics for them, but rather a speechless outcome; if they were soft-hearted, it might lead to unpredictable consequences later.

“You all go back. The current situation is completely different from before. If you insist on doing this, you will be responsible for whatever happens.”

His expression remained calm, but Xu Lindong was already feeling a bit uneasy.

He even quietly discussed it with Wang Wenshan.

“I was thinking, if they truly have the ability or can be of help, it wouldn't be impossible to let them stay…”

However, before he could finish speaking, Wang Wenshan glared him into silence.

“What do you mean by ‘not impossible’? Are you referring to causing trouble for Lu Yuan, or are you saying we should just add to our worries here?”

“If you mean those two, then do as you please; I’ve said it, but you won’t listen anyway.”

“But if not, then don’t even think about it. Their staying here will only cause trouble and serve no purpose.”

The Cultivator who heard this was a bit embarrassed.

“Sirs, you don’t have to be like this. I was serious about what I said. If my presence truly affects you, then I apologize.”

The two bowed slightly, then lifted their feet and left.

Ultimately, he also hoped to contribute, but he didn't expect to be disliked.

Watching him leave, Xu Lindong only felt that Wang Wenshan was too cruel.

“If everyone worked together, there wouldn’t be those dangerous situations, and the problems you mentioned wouldn’t exist.”

“Ultimately, I think you’re still thinking too simply. It’s not like everything is like this.”

He was still trying to persuade, but unexpectedly, not long after that person left, something unusual happened over there.

By the time the two rushed over, they found a strangely behaving Yao Beast running wild in the street. If the two hadn’t run quickly,

perhaps those few common people there would have suffered.

“What’s going on? Before that fellow went over, everything was peaceful here, and no problems occurred. But as soon as he left, why did this happen?”

Xu Lindong looked at the situation here with some disbelief.

Wang Wenshan, however, had long guessed that this was absolutely not normal; otherwise, it would definitely not be just this.

“Although I don’t know if this matter is related to him, if you were to let him in, what problems might arise later? Can you completely guarantee it?”

After hearing his words, Xu Lindong fell completely silent, because he felt that what he said made sense.

Especially at a time like this, one absolutely cannot be careless. If it were before, one might have been able to imagine it.

Now, this truly left him with no options.

After Lu Yuan discussed with Huang Qilian inside for a while, he spent several decades of his lifespan to perform marrow cleansing on him.

“Your Mental Energy is not very strong, but don’t be overly confident. The current situation is different from before.”

Lu Yuan hoped that after Huang Qilian heard his explanation, he would cherish his life a little.

Don’t just rush forward without caring about anything; by the time that happens, it will be too late.

After Lu Yuan’s torment earlier, Huang Qilian had completely calmed down.

He also understood the saying, “It’s better to live poorly than to die well.”

As soon as Lu Yuan finished dealing with this problem, he heard crackling sounds from outside.

He didn’t linger there, lifting his foot to go out.

After coming out, he noticed that the eyes of Wang Wenshan and Xu Lindong were very strange.

“What’s wrong? Weren’t you two patrolling over there? What happened again?”

Upon seeing Lu Yuan come out, Xu Lindong looked as if he had seen a savior and quickly explained what had just happened.

“How should I put it? I originally thought this problem wasn’t serious, but it’s all my fault.”

At first, Xu Lindong still held a glimmer of hope, thinking it was unrelated to the Cultivator from earlier.

But unexpectedly, that fellow turned around and revealed himself, showing an evil smile, and even tried to attack the two of them.

“What exactly happened? Why are you two babbling so much nonsense here?”

Lu Yuan’s expression was a bit impatient. In his opinion, he and the two had known each other for a long time.

No matter what, it shouldn’t be like this, so indecisive.

Wang Wenshan, seeing that he couldn’t hide it, told the truth.

“Not letting him in was the right decision. Don’t hold onto any lucky. Many Yao Beasts, after Cultivating into spirits, will disguise themselves as ordinary people and even absorb human Qi to conceal their aura.”

“They do this to achieve their goals. If he were truly allowed into the Demon Suppression Division to absorb these abilities, later even the King of Heaven might not recognize him.”

His words made the two widen their eyes again.

They were already peripheral figures and didn't know much about these things.

If they had held a glimmer of hope before, now it was the lingering fear of having survived a disaster.

“Alright, don’t think too much. This matter isn’t that complicated. Since there are no problems, then there’s no need to worry. Just do what needs to be done.”

Lu Yuan raised his hand and took out a Magical Artifact for the two. After they absorbed it, their strength significantly increased.

Only Xu Lindong next to him was very embarrassed.

Lu Yuan gave him a comforting look, then lifted his foot and walked inside.

He had to resolve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, it might truly become difficult later.

“It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been so impulsive, it wouldn’t have happened like this. If I had seen through that guy’s schemes earlier, we could have dealt with him far away.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was a bit speechless. He didn’t know what there was to say about this. If it had been like this before, it would have been fine, but why was he getting more agitated the more he talked now?

“Since Lu Yuan said there’s no problem and he can solve it, what are you worrying about here? We haven’t known each other for too short a time; your worrying like this makes it seem like something else.”

Xu Lindong, hearing this, became even more embarrassed.

Meanwhile, the fellow who had transformed into a Yao Beast originally tried to find a weakness from where he had just been.

However, he didn't find any weaknesses; instead, he almost got himself caught.

“It seems you humans have become clever, but this place will be ruled by us sooner or later. Don’t dream here, thinking you can change everything.”

As he spoke, he once again manipulated the others behind him, preparing to attack, but before he could finish dealing with this problem, the situation became even more serious.
