Chapter 42 Be careful, it seems we need to delay for a while
This sudden scene stunned everyone who was fighting in the underground palace, and they fell into a brief silence.
No one expected that there was someone else in this place.
In the broken and collapsed corridor.
Jiang Lan stood there, with wisps of blood-red mist rising like fog, lingering around him.
Even the face was covered and was very blurry, except for a pair of eyes that showed indifference.
"I didn't even sense any presence from this person before. There's also a passage over there..."
Even Ye Ming, who was fighting with a group of disciples from the Wanfa Sect, had a gloomy expression on his face. His mind raced quickly, and he slapped the enemy in front of him away with a palm, then flew to a nearby place and watched the situation.
Above one of his palms, there was a blood-red line that was glowing faintly, and the breath of a soul seemed to emerge from it.
His eyes were slightly fearful as he looked towards the depths of the underground palace, at the slender figure surrounded by blood-red mist.
If the other party had not suddenly attacked, he would not even be able to sense the aura of his cultivation.
The whole person stood there, as if integrated with the world, achieving unity, returning to nature, just like an ordinary person.
"This person is really weird. Even I can't figure it out. You have to be careful."
A hoarse and low voice sounded in Ye Ming's mind, making his face even gloomier and more fearful.
Even the old ghost said so, which is enough to show how terrifying the man in front is.
"Do you want to die?"
A casual voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence here.
Jiang Lan looked at the figures that were flying and falling.
Several of them were struggling to stand up, with blood at the corners of their mouths, but at this moment, their expressions were filled with inexplicable fear and trembling.
They didn't even see how Jiang Lan made his move, but they felt the world around them suddenly tighten.
Boundless force pressed down upon him, and he felt as if he was grasped by an invisible giant hand, unable to even move. Then he was slapped away, and his internal organs seemed to be displaced.
I'm afraid that even the elders in their sect may not be able to achieve this level.
Especially the other person's voice, which sounds very young.
From which faction has this young monster been born...
"Ahem, please forgive me, sir. They were just anxious and worried. They didn't mean to offend you and had no ill intentions..."
At this moment, the figure who had just moved sideways in a panic to avoid Jiang Lan's kick coughed a few times and stood up from the pile of rocks with some difficulty.
The wooden hairpin fell from under her jade crown, leaving her long black hair loose. Her pair of clear and bright eyes could not hide her shock.
A waxy yellow human skin mask with some broken edges, revealing part of the white and delicate face like snow.
"Miss……"
The bloody and wounded figures hurried to her side.
One of the girls with a maid's bun hurriedly supported her.
"Miss? Haha, it turns out that you, Junior Sister Lian Song, also have evil intentions and have been hiding your identity and lurking in my Wanfa Sect."
In the distance, a burly man couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.
His clothes were torn and there was blood at the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had been ambushed by Ye Ming in the previous battle and suffered serious injuries.
Beside him, many disciples of the Wanfa Sect had already fallen to the ground, bleeding profusely, and their lives or deaths were unknown.
He looked at Ye Ming who was watching the situation not far away and said bitterly,
"I thought Ye Ming was honest and trustworthy, and treated you sincerely all the way, but I didn't expect that he was so scheming and plotted against us."
"Brother Wang Yan, what you said is wrong. Opportunities come to those who are destined to be with you. You asked me to explore the terrain for you on the way, which put me in danger many times and almost killed me. Don't pretend to be a good person at this time. We are all the same kind of people."
Ye Ming just sneered when he heard this, and there was a flash of murderous intent on his honest and slightly dark face.
"Hmph, just a sharp tongue." The burly man named Wang Yan snorted coldly.
Jiang Lan's eyes were calm and indifferent. He himself had no interest in getting involved in this kind of dog-eat-dog drama.
If an accident had not happened and blocked his way, he would not have stopped for a moment.
The woman who concealed her true face had obviously sensed his presence just now, so when she was knocked away, she deliberately crashed into the stone wall beside the corridor to force him to show up.
He had originally planned to quietly take away the Blood Immortal Sect's inheritance, but now it seems that he needs to delay for a while.
"Sir, I am Wang Yan, an inner sect disciple of the Wanfa Sect in Danzhou County. I am here on the orders of my master to investigate the cause of the unusual movements of the monster beasts on the Bloody Plateau. I have no ill intentions."
"These two have been lurking in my Wanfa Sect for a long time. I don't know what they are up to. I guess they may be related to the remnants of the former Blood Immortal Sect."
“Although this person claims to be a casual cultivator, he is deep-minded and vicious. I’m afraid he has a lot of connections with the Blood Immortal Sect.”
"According to what I said, the Blood Plateau is related to the Blood Fairy Cult that once wreaked havoc on the land of Kyushu. Judging from the motives of these two people, this might be the site of their ruins..."
"The Blood Immortal Cult is a disaster to the world and is intolerable to the world. If it is allowed to make a comeback, it will once again cause great suffering to all the people in the land of Kyushu."
"Why don't you and I join forces to wipe out the remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect and bring peace to the people of the world."
Wang Yan looked at Jiang Lan, bowed and said, his eyes were sincere and serious, his tone was sonorous and righteous.
Although he could not sense any fluctuations of magical power from Jiang Lan, it was impossible for him to be regarded as an ordinary person.
Just the method used just now was enough to make him fearful and alert.
"Blood Immortal Cult?"
Jiang Lan seemed slightly surprised, then smiled faintly, "Indeed, the Blood Immortal Cult is a disaster to the world, and the world wants to punish it. Since these two people are related to the Blood Immortal Cult, I naturally cannot let them leave."
Hearing this, the woman surnamed Song's expression seemed to change slightly.
Ye Ming, who was not far away, frowned even more, and the fear on his face became even stronger.
Wang Yan's face lit up with joy, and he bowed again, saying, "Young Master, you are right. If we let these two people leave, I don't know how much disaster they will bring to the outside world..."
However, before he could finish his words, the joy on his face disappeared immediately, and was replaced by a ruthless and decisive look.
The whole person turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Jiang Lan in an instant.
There was a surge of light between the palms and fingers, runes flickered, and there was a Taoist aura evolving, which seemed to transform into a mist and rain of light, flooding down.
The other Wanfa Sect disciples behind him also reacted quickly, offering up various talismans and magical weapons, and rushed towards Jiang Lan together.
In the dim underground palace, there was a sudden burst of colorful light, which drove away the darkness and illuminated the room.
The sudden scene did not surprise Jiang Lan at all.
He was always able to sense the fluctuations in Wang Yan's breathing, heartbeat, and vitality.
He naturally knew what the other party's intention was.
He stood with his hands behind his back, looking very calm.
