Jiang Lan stood further away.

In front of him were two people with the imprint of flame on their faces.

​ 

There were two people lying at their feet, one male and one female. Both of them were facing the ground.

They showed no movement. However, their aura was still present so they were probably unconscious.

However, the Earth Shrinking Technique had yet to be cast. No one could detect him yet.

This divine power did not belong to either of them.

“We have two people. However, can we really use them to sneak into Kunlun? Is it that easy to infiltrate?”

Jiang Lan suddenly heard a voice from the other side.

“I can only say that it isn’t difficult. I heard that it’s because Kunlun made it so on purpose, but I think it’s just because their strength is mediocre.”

“I’ll be able to see the Jade Pool Goddess after entering?”

“Who knows what’s going on inside? Let’s go in and investigate.”

At this moment, the Earth Shrinking Technique’s effect had ended, and Jiang Lan’s figure instantly appeared before the two.

They were two men. They stood in the dark and their eyes were glowing.

“Two Essence Soul cultivators.”

Jiang Lan looked at the two of them calmly.

There was no danger around, but these two people were probably not the ones in charge of this.

Even though Earth Shrinking Technique was a divine power, there was still a prerequisite to one’s realm for one to master it.

Even if these two people were given another hundred years, they still wouldn’t be able to reach that realm.

“Who are you?”

The long-haired man asked Jiang Lan warily.

Although it was nighttime, he could still see his surroundings clearly.

However, he could not see the person in front of him clearly.

The clothing, face, and facial features of the person in front of him. None of these could be seen.

This was not normal.

However, they also realized that the other party had been pulled by the Earth Shrinking Technique.

This was out of their expectations.

To kill and silence him?

Killing intent rose in the hearts of the two.

From the looks of it, his cultivation base was at the peak of the Golden Core stage. They might not be able to kill him in an instant, especially since the other party seemed to have a powerful Dharma treasure on him.

“I was just taking a walk in the forest and was accidentally pulled over by you two,” Jiang Lan looked at the two and said.

The person who had used the Earth Shrinking Technique had yet to appear. There was no need for him to become enemies with these people for now.

Being targeted by too many people would affect his tribulation in the future.

It was already troublesome enough for him to try and avoid those from the Heavenly Human Race.

“You have seen their faces?” The short-haired man looked down at the two people at his feet and asked Jiang Lan.

“No,” Jiang Lan replied immediately.

He really hadn’t seen them.

“Alright then. You may leave,” said the long-haired man.

Jiang Lan was silent.

It was somewhat unexpected, but he didn’t say anything further and turned around to leave.

However, when he left, he left behind a Thousand Mile Recorder beneath his feet. This was what he had obtained after signing in.

Even after he left, he could still hear what was happening here.

If it was an ordinary infiltration, he wouldn’t care.

However, these two people were here for the Jade Pool Goddess.

Ao Longyu was definitely not someone these two could come into contact with, but…

He was ordinary.

After a while, most people would know about his relationship with Ao Longyu.

Seeing that Jiang Lan had really left, the short-haired man said in surprise.

“Why did you let him go just like that?”

“Of course I will not. There is a natural maze in this mountain forest. The commander has even strengthened it. With his cultivation level, he won’t be able to escape.”

We’ll go back and get the commander and the others to come.

This person should have a secret on him.

Besides, it’s not suitable for us to alert the enemy. “The long-haired man’s eyes were cold.

“Speaking of which, does the Dragon Race really have a marriage alliance with Kunlun?” The short-haired man no longer paid attention to the departing Jiang Lan. Instead, he reached out and grabbed a Kunlun disciple, intending to carry him on his back.

The long-haired man carried the other one and said.

“The front line is abuzz with rumors. Why else would we need to come here? This is too painful for us demons. Kunlun’s support could overwhelm us. The main target this time might not be the Jade Pool Goddess, but the marriage partner of the Jade Pool Goddess. ”

“Is our objective to kill him?”

“Who knows? We have to capture him first. Whether he dies or not is not up to us. However, it is said that he is a person who can’t become an immortal even by relying on resources. He doesn’t pose a threat to us at all. ”

Just as the two of them were about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

The two of them were stunned for a moment and subconsciously retreated some distance.

They looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of them, bewildered.

“It’s you?”

If their guess was correct, the person who had suddenly appeared was the person who had said he was passing by.

His cultivation was at the perfected Golden Core Realm.

Because they felt that they couldn’t directly kill the other party previously, they didn’t take action.

Unexpectedly, this person actually delivered himself to their door.

“Yes, it’s me.”

Jiang Lan’s voice sounded.

His original intention was to leave, but when he heard that the main reason these people infiltrated Kunlun was him.

He no longer had any intention of leaving.

Since he knew of the reason they were here, there was no need to keep them alive anymore.

Moreover, they were demons.

Recently, it was said that there were demons coming into the vicinity of Kunlun.

These should be the demons the others were referring to. Furthermore, it seemed that they were here for him.

The marriage alliance between Kunlun and the Dragon Race affected many parties in many ways.

Be it the Dragon Race or Kunlun, they were both powerful existences in the Grand Desolate World. Although it was impossible for the two existences to form a solid alliance through marriage.

It would be an invisible blow to the demons who were still fighting against the Dragon Race.

This would increase the chances of the demons being defeated.

In order to destroy this marriage, he might become everyone’s target.

In fact, in Jiang Lan’s eyes, even if they killed him, it would be useless.

There were so many people in Kunlun. Someone would replace him if he died. The only difference was that it would at most affect the progress of this matter.

Killing him would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Or perhaps the demons only needed to treat the symptoms.

“Didn’t you pass by and leave?” The short-haired man looked gloomy.

Now that this person had appeared here, it meant that the situation was definitely not going to end peacefully.

It seemed like the other party had something up his sleeves.

“I suddenly don’t feel like leaving again.” Jiang Lan looked at the two and said.

“I want to ask you guys a few questions.”

There had to be more than just the two of them. He needed to find out more.

If he wanted to deal with the matter, he had to make sure he settled it once and for all.

He would not be going to seclusion in the near future.

Therefore, it was very easy for him to encounter an ambush.

His ending might be different if he hadn’t accidentally met with these two people today.

The ambush targeting him definitely did not just include these two people. After all, he was currently at the perfected Golden Core Realm and his enemies would definitely treat him as an Essence Soul cultivator.

At that time, perhaps he could only escape.

If the matter at the inn was over, he would definitely ignore these people. He would return to the Ninth Summit and enter seclusion in peace. He would only leave the mountain when he was about to become an immortal.

“Are you trying to ask how we’re going to kill you?” The long-haired man’s voice shook the surroundings and struck straight into Jiang Lan’s heart.

The vegetation beside him instantly shattered.

At the same time, the two of them abandoned the Kunlun disciples on their shoulders.

Since the other party had appeared, there was no need for them to waste their breath on him. They decided to test his strength first.

If that didn’t work, they would give up on these two Kunlun disciples and let the commander come over immediately.

The short-haired man leaped into the sky as pitch-black wings appeared behind him.

The long-haired man took a few steps back. He moved his head and a phantom image of a lion appeared behind him.

He then let loose a thunderous roar.
