58: Breaking through the realms one after another, reaching the seventh level of Ju Yuan!

Jiang Lan's mind was so severely drained that he felt dizzy.

He vaguely saw a virtual light screen appear, but he couldn't make out the words on it.

Relying on instinct, Jiang Lan thought to himself:

"Increase my cultivation, help me max it out."

On the light screen, lines of text scrolled rapidly.

In an instant, Jiang Lan felt his body recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a moment, the four deep, bone-visible, narrow wounds on his chest scabbed over and fell off.

His mind also became clearer and clearer.

After a short while, Jiang Lan's eyesight returned to normal, and he stood up straight, looking at the scrolling text in front of him.

"The six hundred and thirty-fourth year, your Realm increased to Gathering Yuan Sixth Level."

"The nine hundred and sixty-fifth year, although your progress was slow, relying on the accumulation of time, your Martial Dao Realm finally had a Breakthrough to Qi Gathering Seventh Level."

"The nine hundred and seventy-sixth year, your Realm remained at Qi Gathering Seventh Level, and you failed to have another Breakthrough."

When the text finished scrolling, all the injuries Jiang Lan had sustained earlier were completely healed.

His Realm directly had a Breakthrough from the original Qi Gathering Stage Level 4 to Qi Gathering Seventh Level.

It looked like only a three-level difference, but in reality, the two were worlds apart.

One was Middle Stage Gathering Yuan, the other was Late Stage Gathering Yuan.

Even if the current Jiang Lan faced ten of those men from earlier at once, he could probably wipe them out with a wave of his hand. Their combat power was not on the same level at all.

Feeling the extraordinarily surging power within his body, his gaze fell on the last line, the nine hundred and seventy-sixth year.

If Jiang Lan remembered correctly, after killing Hong Luan just now, his remaining lifespan was only one hundred and seventy-seven years.

How much lifespan did killing that Altar Lord add to him?

He looked up.

"Killed one Gathering Yuan Fourth Level Realm demon, gained eight hundred years of lifespan."

"Remaining Lifespan: nine hundred and seventy-seven years."

Eight hundred years... this number was indeed somewhat beyond Jiang Lan's expectation.

Since acquiring the System, he had killed so many demons, but he still hadn't figured out the logic behind gaining lifespan.

But now, Jiang Lan had some faint guesses in his mind.

It should depend on the difference between the enemy's Realm and his own Realm.

This was also reasonable.

Without overthinking it, Jiang Lan looked at the four severed corpses on the ground.

It was fine in the Outer City, but with his current attire, parading through the Inner City with human heads would definitely attract unnecessary trouble.

It was better to go back to the Demon Suppression Division first and let the people there handle it.

There were also the people who had called for help from underground earlier.

Although he didn't know exactly how many there were, they must have all been imprisoned underground by Hong Luan's methods.

Perhaps some of them, like Huang Ming, might have had their minds taken over.

If there were any, he wouldn't handle it.

Such matters were best left to the Taoist Priests of the Miao Fa Pavilion, who were more professional.

Thinking this, Jiang Lan had already stepped out of the room, turning to close the door again.

With Flood Dragon Swim activated, his figure turned into an afterimage, moving much faster than before, flipping over the courtyard wall, and heading straight for the Outer City.

Passing by the Azure Dragon Gate, the guarding soldiers only felt a gust of wind even more violent than before.

"What the hell, why is this wind so eerie? It just happened once, and this time it's even worse."

"Who knows, we'd better just guard the gate properly."

...A moment later.

Jiang Lan's figure appeared at the entrance of the Demon Suppression Division.

He hadn't gone to the tailor's shop to get a uniform; he was still wearing the tight-fitting black robe with four large tears, stained with quite a bit of blood.

Yu Zhi, who was originally bored guarding the door, was startled when he saw Jiang Lan appear in such a state.

He shivered, took a few quick steps, and hurried to Jiang Lan's front.

"Boss? What happened? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Jiang Lan waved his hand, not elaborating to Yu Zhi, "Go find Uncle Chen for me and tell him the matter is resolved."

"I'll go right away!"

Although Yu Zhi was a rough man, he was smart enough not to ask Jiang Lan what the matter was. He agreed and turned to run towards Wuwei Hall.

Seeing Yu Zhi leave, Jiang Lan walked directly towards the Tiger Ben Hall where the Centurion resided.

He walked extremely fast, and in just a moment, he arrived at the entrance of the Tiger Ben Hall.

At the entrance stood a tall, sturdy man like an iron tower, blocking Jiang Lan's path.

"Who goes there?"

Jiang Lan did not continue forward.

"Tell your Centurion Lord to come out and say Jiang Lan is looking for him."

Upon hearing the name Jiang Lan, the tall man first froze, then turned and walked into the hall.

He obviously knew Jiang Lan's name.

Most likely, Qiu Rang had already given instructions.

Jiang Lan waited at the entrance and did not go inside.

Just ten seconds later, Qiu Rang's figure emerged and walked towards Jiang Lan.

"Jiang..."

He had only just uttered the first word when he saw Jiang Lan's disheveled black robe. After a moment of stunned, he quickly said, "Brother Jiang, what is this..."

Jiang Lan didn't waste words and said directly:

"Brother Chou, bring some Taoist Priests from the Miao Fa Pavilion to the third house on the right-hand side, the main house, on Gengjin Avenue in the Inner City."

"Inner City?" Qiu Rang's eyes widened slightly, "Brother Jiang, what happened? Why go to the Inner City?"

"There's a Green Lantern Sect stronghold there. I've already killed everyone, and there are still some people locked up underground. Anyway, you'll know when you get there. Remember to bring a few who can dispel mind-controlling techniques."

Techniques that could manipulate others were generally referred to as mind-controlling methods, with many subdivisions, but the dispelling methods were largely similar.

Although Jiang Lan couldn't do it, there were many capable people within the Demon Suppression Division.

The Centurion was surprised.

"Such a thing? Setting up a stronghold in the Inner City, are they crazy?"

Jiang Lan didn't explain much, only saying:

"There's a beast head on the main house wall, there's a mechanism inside the beast head. Press it down, and you'll find it by following the secret passage."

The Centurion also understood the seriousness of the matter and immediately said:

"Alright, I'll take people over."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, "Has Lord Qianhu been informed?"

"I'll tell him in a bit."

Wu Qingyun was still at Uncle Chen's house, so he naturally didn't know.

"Alright then, I'll leave now."

With that, Qiu Rang called out to the iron-tower-like man and headed straight for the Miao Fa Pavilion.

Jiang Lan glanced at him and walked towards the entrance of the Demon Suppression Division.

With Qiu Rang sending people, he basically didn't need to worry anymore.

Next, he just needed to explain the whole incident to Chen Heguang and Wu Qingyun.

Originally, he had only intended to kill Hong Luan on this trip, but he didn't expect such a pleasant surprise, directly resolving the trouble for Uncle Chen's family.

Arriving at the entrance of the Demon Suppression Division, Chen Heguang was already waiting.

Seeing Jiang Lan, he immediately showed concern and said:

"Lan'er, are you hurt? What happened to you?"

Jiang Lan smiled.

"It's nothing."

At this moment, only his clothes looked somewhat disheveled, but his body's injuries had long since healed, not even leaving the slightest scar.

Chen Heguang was still a bit worried, he leaned in front of Jiang Lan and felt around for a bit, and only after confirming that he was truly fine, did he let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine." Chen Heguang said, "Tell me, how did you resolve it?"

"Let's talk at home."
