"Chief Jiang, can I have a third option?"
Yu Huachun looked at Jiang Lan with a bitter expression.
He really doesn't want to get involved in these things anymore, at least not right now.
The reason I got involved four years ago was because wealth and glory were within easy reach.
The current situation and the opponents we face are on a completely different level compared to four years ago.
Putting everything else aside, the mere presence of the Overlord Blade Li Fan was enough to terrify him.
Not to mention how many people will be involved in this throne.
After all, when Zhou Zhenxiong died, besides Li Fan and Chen Kui, there was a fourth invincible opponent in the world.
He had no idea which faction the person came from.
That person didn't die in that battle either.
The fact that he didn't die means there's a change in circumstances.
Despite the current strength of the Zhenwu Division, who can guarantee that it will remain powerful throughout this upheaval?
Even if the forces behind that mysterious invincible master don't intervene, would the Ziyang Immortal Sect allow the Zhenwu Division to decide the successor?
Even if we assume that the Ziyang Immortal Sect doesn't care about these things, the Secret Treasury Temple will not let this go easily.
If the Zhenwu Division wants to become the sole power, it must at least get past the Mizang Temple.
"Since that's the case, then go die!"
Jiang Lan wasn't going to haggle, and she wasn't good at business.
Seeing that he was about to be killed, Yu Huachun quickly begged for mercy: "Chief Jiang, I know who killed Tuoba Ye!"
When disaster struck, Yu Huachun naturally decided not to keep the secret.
The death of Tuoba Ye was merely a trigger that piqued Jiang Lan's interest.
If Jiang Lan becomes interested, then Yu Huachun can use the more secrets he knows to save his life.
This path to survival will be his only path to survival.
He didn't have much time left; he needed to get away from the vortex of Tiandu before anyone could react.
"continue!"
Jiang Lan spoke calmly.
"Tuoba Ye was executed on His Majesty's orders."
The purpose was to incite conflict between the Zhenwu Division and the Immortal Sect.
The executor is Ling Aotian, the commander of the Heavenly Martial Guard...
Yu Huachun didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly told them what he knew.
After hearing his description, Jiang Lan really didn't know what to say.
Zhou Zhenxiong's move was perfectly under control.
The only thing I probably overlooked was Li Fan's breakthrough.
Li Fan not only dared to kill him, but he actually could.
Regardless of the methods used, the fact remains that Li Fan won.
The strategist dies in the very trap he himself set; this is a testament to the unpredictability of life.
Jiang Lan listened attentively to what Yu Huachun was saying.
Of course, she didn't write it down.
Many of these things are not suitable to be said.
After all, no matter how despicable Zhou Zhenxiong's methods were, he was still the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
His image collapse is not a good thing for the world, at least not now.
"Once the secret passage to the Ling residence is verified, you will be free!"
After Jiang Lan finished speaking, Yu Huachun finally felt relieved.
......
Ling Mansion, a secret place.
Ling Aotian drank wine and ate meat.
Today is truly a day to be happy about.
The news from the Shu King's mansion gave him a great boost.
In the past, he would have felt somewhat uncertain.
After all, no matter how flawless the plan, it's all in vain if you don't have the power to control everything.
But now it seems my worries were unnecessary.
His Majesty has not only surpassed all others in the mortal realm, but can also easily suppress the immortals of the Secret Temple.
Since that's the case, I have nothing to worry about. Li Fan, that brat, is doomed.
Drinking is a way of celebrating in advance.
Just as Ling Aotian was slightly tipsy, a light tapping sound came from under the bed in the room.
Is Yu Huachun here?
Listening to the rhythmic tapping, Ling Aotian immediately recognized who it was.
He quickly stepped forward and opened the mechanism.
Two people walked in from the dimly lit tunnel.
The person in the lead was Jiang Lan.
Tuoba Longwu, with bloodshot eyes, followed behind Jiang Lan.
He looked at Ling Aotian, wishing he could skin the bastard alive.
Although the whole thing was caused by the one on the dragon throne, that person is already dead.
This guy in front of me is another executioner.
Tuoba Longwu could only vent his anger on this bastard.
"Jiang Lan, Tuoba Longwu, what brings you here!"
Ling Aotian was startled.
Before he could make a move, Jiang Lan reached out.
With a single strike, he shattered Ling Aotian's dantian.
Ling Aotian collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
The pain contorted his face, but his wide-open mouth could not utter a sound.
Without wasting words, Tuoba Longwu went up and struck, ending Ling Aotian's life.
"Tuoba Gongfeng, let's leave it at that."
The Ministry of Justice will hold the Ling family accountable for their evil deeds.
I don't want you to resort to vigilante justice!
Jiang Lan looked at Tuoba Longwu and said.
"Yes, sir!"
Tuoba Longwu nodded.
......
"You are free!"
As Jiang Lan stepped out of the tunnel, she waved her hand.
Jiang Xue, who was standing next to Yu Huachun, sheathed her long sword. Upon seeing this, Yu Huachun bowed his hands in thanks and then soared into the sky.
Before he could fly a hundred meters, he was transformed into a cloud of blood mist and exploded in the air.
Yu Huachun never imagined that Jiang Lan would personally kill him.
Jiang Lan waved her hand calmly: "Tuoba Gongfeng, go back and rest!"
During this period, I will no longer need to come to the company to work.
Let's come back after we've taken care of Tuoba Ye's funeral!
By then, most of the problems that needed to be solved had been resolved.
"Thank you, Chief!"
This time, Tuoba Longwu was completely convinced.
Jiang Lan possesses the qualities of a scholar, yet she also has the decisiveness of a江湖人 (jianghu person, someone from the martial arts world).
Let go of what needs to be let go, and kill what needs to be killed.
Not only that, she also took care of herself.
Taking a break is not just about dealing with Ye'er's funeral arrangements.
More than anything, it's an opportunity to avoid the impending vortex.
......
"Sister, you don't actually have to break your vow!"
On the way to the palace, Jiang Xue said, "Killing Yu Huachun can be completely left to me!"
"There aren't that many rules in this world. I don't want to be a moral saint, nor do I want you to become a serial killer!"
Jiang Lan looked at Jiang Xue with a doting expression.
In the years since my mother died, I haven't been a very good older sister.
Now that her younger sister is by her side, the older sister will definitely spoil her rotten.
"Sister, actually I don't object to killing!"
Jiang Xue said helplessly.
"You! No matter how much you like Li Fan, you can't become like him!"
Jiang Lan smiled wryly.
Li Fan's path was only suitable for him.
If others leave, they're courting death.
"Sis, is it possible that I didn't actually learn from him?"
Jiang Xue proudly declared with her head held high, "If I'm going to learn something, I'll learn from my sister!"
"Then why don't you read a few books first?"
A smile appeared on Jiang Lan's face.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue quickly turned her head to the other side.
Learning is fine.
As for reading, I'd rather not.
I'm just not cut out for studying!
