Three big shots are proposing to me at the same time? Are you crazy?

Jiang Huan paused for a moment, seemingly deep in thought.

After a moment, Jiang Huan raised his head again, nodded, and said, "I can promise you that if you really help me a lot during the process of taking you there, I can consider not crippling your cultivation. But the condition is that you must sincerely repent and not do evil again!"

Upon hearing Jiang Huan's words, a glimmer of hope appeared in Wu Lan's eyes. She gripped her grandmother's hand tightly and then stood up.

"I am absolutely repentant. As long as I can help you in the process, and as long as you don't destroy my cultivation, I'm willing to help you! However, the place where the Soul-Locking Pillar is located is extremely dangerous, and I'm worried about my grandmother's safety..."

After speaking, Wu Lan looked worriedly at the old woman sitting on the sofa, whose face was still pale.

Jiang Huan glanced at Wu Lan, then at the old woman, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "Your grandmother will stay in this Chaos Tower. The spiritual energy here is abundant, so she can recuperate slowly. You can rest assured about that. When we get to the Soul Locking Pillar, all actions and plans along the way will be subject to my instructions. I don't want any more accidents to happen."

Wu Lan nodded, looking at Jiang Huan gratefully: "I will listen to you and follow your arrangements! As long as you can let me go and save my grandmother's life, I am willing to do anything for you."

After speaking, Wu Lan bowed deeply to Jiang Huan to express her gratitude.

"Let's not delay, let's go now!" Jiang Huan turned to Ling Siye and said, "Aye, you stay in this ancient ruin and keep an eye on the Nine-Bat Demon Lord. Wu Lan and I will go to the Soul-Locking Pillar. I'll come back after I'm done. If anything unexpected happens in the meantime, you should protect yourself first."

Ling Siye nodded slightly. He understood that once Jiang Huan made a decision, she wouldn't change it, and that if he went, he might even make things worse. So he said, "Go ahead and don't worry. Be careful. If anything happens, we can contact each other with a communication talisman."

"Ah."

Jiang Huan, Wu Lan, and Ling Siye left the Chaos Tower together.

"Hey!" Sensing Jiang Huan's presence, the Nine-Bat Demon Lord spoke up, "If you spare me, I will grant you three wishes, how about it?"

"If I told you my three wishes, the first one would be for you to destroy your demon race. Could you do that?" Jiang Huan asked rhetorically.

"Are you insane! Those are my people, they—"

"Don't brag if you can't do it!" Jiang Huan dispelled the barrier, glanced at Ling Siye, and left the underground palace with Wu Lan.

"Don't go! Wait!" Nine-Bat Demon Lord shouted.

Ling Siye and Meiqiu sat down on the altar and began their cultivation.

"Hey, who are you? Are you that girl's man? Let me tell you, our demon race has many beautiful witches. If you're willing, I—"

"As a man, all that babbling is so annoying!"

Annoyed, Ling Siye simply sealed the four stone doors with ice, preventing any sounds from coming out.

……

On Wu Lan's side, she followed Jiang Huan away from the ancient ruins and embarked on the path to the Soul-Locking Pillar.

She knew that this was not only for her grandmother's safety, but also for her own chance to atone for her sins.

She secretly vowed that no matter what difficulties lay ahead, she would do her best!

Jiang Huan was unaware of Wu Lan's thoughts.

Led by Wu Lan, Jiang Huan passed through the illusion of Danzhou and arrived at a desolate land.

From the moment the two of them stepped onto this wasteland, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was occasional rumble of thunder, but there was not a trace of moisture, and there was no sign of rain.

Jiang Huan and Wu Lan traveled together, and Wu Lan was always uneasy. She would look at Jiang Huan from time to time, very nervous.

Why are you staring at me?

"There are guards at the Soul-Locking Pillar. Can you... defeat them? I can't."

"Don't worry," Jiang Huan said calmly. "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. As long as we're careful, we'll always find a solution."

Wu Lan nodded. She knew that although Jiang Huan appeared cold on the surface, she was not actually that cold-blooded. On the contrary, she had a compassionate heart.

The two continued on their journey, traversing wastelands and ruins, and dodging traps, until they finally arrived at the edge of a forest shrouded in mist.

Wu Lan stopped and pointed ahead: "The Soul-Locking Pillar is deep in that forest."

Jiang Huan stared into the mist and asked in a deep voice, "How much do you know about the situation here?"

Wu Lan took a deep breath and slowly said, "All I know is that there are guards around the Soul Locking Pillar. To get close to the Soul Locking Pillar, you must first defeat those people."

Jiang Huan nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What uses can your witchcraft have?"

"I can destroy the outer barrier."

"Then I'll leave the barrier to you, and the killing to me. Remember, we must be careful and not be careless in any way."

“Okay!” Wu Lan nodded.

Then, they walked into the forest together.

Before the towering tree, the surrounding light became extremely dim, and the air was filled with an ancient and heavy atmosphere, with a lot of damp and sticky moisture in the surrounding mist.

As they ventured deeper, Wu Lan began to feel an unprecedented pressure. She knew this was the barrier surrounding the Soul-Locking Pillar warning them not to approach any further.

Jiang Huan noticed Wu Lan's nervousness and subconsciously patted the latter's shoulder, comforting her: "Concentrate, I believe you can do it. If you mess this up, I don't mind crippling you right here."

Giving someone a piece of candy and then slapping them in the face, Wu Lan exclaimed that she was speechless.

Wu Lan sighed, nodded, closed his eyes, and began to silently recite the secret incantation of the Wu clan, attempting to communicate with the barrier surrounding the Soul-Locking Pillar.

As the incantation was performed, subtle changes occurred in the surrounding environment, and the immense pressure gradually diminished.

Before long, Wu Lan removed the barrier surrounding the Soul-Locking Pillar.

However, the strange change in the barrier made the guards around the Soul-Locking Pillar realize that outsiders had broken in, and they all rushed over.

"They're here!" Wu Lan sensed their presence and her expression changed drastically.

"Go into the Chaos Tower first, so as not to delay me!" After saying that, Jiang Huan directly put Wu Lan into the Chaos Tower, then raised his hand to change his appearance, and stood in place waiting for the person from the Soul Locking Pillar to appear.

In just three minutes, five people appeared in front of her.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Soul-Locking Pillar's area and break the barrier!"

"Why all the nonsense? Kill everyone who barges in!"

"on!"

Jiang Huan looked at them, then flew into the sky. With a wave of his hands, the chains of order tore through the sky and extended out from the void.

"Chains of Order!" The five people were all shocked when they saw it.

"You guys know your stuff!" Jiang Huan smirked as he manipulated the chains of order to attack the five of them.

The overwhelming difference in their cultivation levels made the five of them realize that Jiang Huan was up to no good and that his cultivation was not low.

In order to prevent Jiang Huan from succeeding, the five of them called over the remaining five people from the Soul-Locking Pillar.
