Three big shots are proposing to me at the same time? Are you crazy?
Chapter 480: Wu Lan
The Tower of Chaos.
Ling Siye sat cross-legged to heal his injuries.
After Jiang Huan came in, she went to Ling Siye and asked, "Aye, how are you now?"
Ling Siye withdrew his spiritual energy and shook his head: "It's alright now."
"Where's Coal Ball?" Jiang Huan looked at Black Qilin, who was also lying to the side. "Is Coal Ball feeling better now?"
This Chaos Tower contains spiritual energy, which Ling Siye and Meiqiu can use.
Of course, she granted the authority; Wu Lan didn't have the right, but the old woman did.
Jiang Huan looked at Wu Lan, who was kneeling on the ground holding the old woman, and said, "Grandma, the other day you said the road ahead was dangerous and told me not to go any further. You were talking about what your granddaughter was going to do in this ancient ruin, right?"
The old woman coughed and nodded: "Young lady, it's my fault. I didn't discipline this child properly, and she almost hurt you."
There were quite a few people who came along the way, including Qiao Nian, who arrived in Danzhou around the same time. So Jiang Huan was very puzzled as to why the old woman treated her so specially.
"Grandma, do you recognize me?"
"I know her." The old woman nodded. "You are the granddaughter of General Jiang, the great hero of our Nine Provinces. You are Miss Jiang Huan, aren't you?"
Jiang Huan and Ling Siye are still using fake identities and fake faces, but the old woman actually recognized them, which surprised them.
Jiang Huan and Ling Siye exchanged a glance, then reverted to their original, true selves.
Wu Lan looked up blankly at their faces, a bitter smile on her lips. "So it was you... No wonder I couldn't win..."
She's a prominent figure in Kyushu, yet she initially tried to lure these two people into becoming sacrifices—what a wild idea!
"Who exactly are you? And what's the situation with this ancient ruin, the Nine-Bat Demon Lord, and Danzhou?" Jiang Huan conjured up two long sofas, pulled Ling Siye to sit down, and then asked Wu Lan and her granddaughter to sit down as well. "Sit down! Let's talk."
Out of consideration for the old woman's previous reminder, she would give Wu Lan a chance to answer the question.
Looking at the pale-faced old woman, Wu Lan burst into tears. "Grandma, I'm so sorry..."
"Silly child, don't cry." The old woman raised her hand to wipe away Wu Lan's tears, coughed lightly, and looked at Jiang Huan. "Miss Jiang Huan, don't blame my granddaughter. She was also bewitched. She is not a bad child."
Jiang Huan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and tossed a pill into the old woman's hand, saying, "After you take this pill, you'll feel better."
As for whether or not to save them, we'll have to wait and see!
Upon seeing this, Wu Lan was shocked, her vision blurred with tears as she looked at Jiang Huan. "I almost killed you just now. Are you really going to give this pill to my grandmother?"
"One thing is one thing, and all I want to know right now is the answer to those questions!" Jiang Huan said without changing his expression.
Seeing that her grandmother's complexion had regained some color and she had fully regained consciousness, Wu Lan sat up straight, facing Jiang Huan, and explained:
"My grandmother and I are from the witch clan. We are skilled in witchcraft and can transform into various forms."
"The Witch Clan is an ancient clan, but because they once lost their clan's most prized possession, their status among the various mysterious ancient clans gradually declined. Eventually, someone tried to annex the Witch Clan and exterminated them all, leaving only my grandmother and me alive."
"The ancient ruins are where the Nine-Bat Demon Lord was sealed. The reason I am here is because my grandmother's life is about to end. My grandmother and I have not yet found the enemy who wiped out our clan. We don't want to lose our lives, and I don't want anything to happen to my grandmother."
"One day I accidentally learned that there was an ancient ruin here, and that there might be a way to save my grandmother inside, so I came here."
"Here, I met the Nine-Bat Demon Lord, the leader of the Three Demons. He promised that if I could resurrect him and do his bidding, he would heal my grandmother and help us find the enemy who wiped out our clan, so that we could kill them with our own hands. I had no choice but to believe him."
"As for Danzhou, it has changed long ago and is no longer the mysterious place it was rumored to be. Back then, a powerful figure appeared and took away all the treasures of Danzhou, and buried an illusion in the land. The people of Danzhou were corrupted by the illusion and have become one with it. They cannot leave Danzhou. As long as the illusion exists, Danzhou exists; when the illusion is destroyed, Danzhou is destroyed!"
"As for me, in order to find a sacrifice for the Nine-Bat Demon Lord, restart the altar, and resurrect him, I have no choice but to deceive those outsiders who came here because of the mystery of Danzhou. Only the purest and most innocent are the best sacrifices!"
Little Fire licked its paws. "Clearly, the dumbest and most stupid person is the best sacrifice!"
Wu Lan nodded: "That's one way to look at it."
Jiang Huan rolled her eyes and said embarrassedly, "Saying it's the best offering is more like saying it's the easiest to be tricked by you."
“You could say that,” Wu Lan nodded. “Now I’ve told you everything you wanted to know. I can die, but I want to ask you for one thing.”
"What right do you have to beg me?" Jiang Huan said coldly.
If she hadn't arrived in time, the Nine-Bat Demon Lord would have been resurrected, and she and Ah Ye would probably be dead.
Could a Demon Lord, who can become the leader of the Three Demons, be some insignificant character?
“That’s right, I’m not qualified…” Wu Lan stood up from the sofa and knelt on the ground. “My grandmother is innocent. You are so capable. If you can have a change of heart and save my grandmother, I will repay you by being your slave in my next life!”
After saying this, Wu Lan kowtowed fiercely.
Seeing this, the old woman knelt down on the floor from the sofa, crying, "Lanlan, you've grown up, and Grandma is so happy. Things have already developed to this point, and it can't be salvaged with just a few words. We were too stubborn. Survival of the fittest, perhaps this is the fate of the Witch Clan, and they shouldn't have existed long ago."
Wu Lan lay prostrate on the ground, gritting her teeth, her eyes filled with humiliation and resentment. "I want revenge! Those people killed my grandfather, my father and mother, and my brothers and sisters. I'm not reconciled, I'm really not reconciled..."
Looking at the grandmother and granddaughter in front of her, Jiang Huan thought of the most important thing she had come here for and asked, "Do you know about the Soul-Locking Pillar?"
"The Soul-Locking Pillar?" Wu Lan looked up in surprise. "I know, are you looking for the Soul-Locking Pillar?"
"Okay." Jiang Huan nodded, got up and walked over to help the old woman up. She said, "Take me to the Soul-Locking Pillar. I can save your grandmother and then cripple your cultivation so that you and your grandmother can live a quiet life together."
"Are you really going to the Soul-Locking Pillar? That's not a good place. You... might not be able to beat them!" Wu Lan bit her lower lip, struggling internally.
"You don't need to worry about that, you just need to take me there," Jiang Huan said calmly.
"I don't know what you want with the Soul-Locking Pillar, but if I take you there and help you in the process, can you please not cripple my cultivation?" Wu Lan asked nervously.
Without cultivation, let alone taking revenge, I wouldn't even be able to protect my grandmother in the future!
