1344 Who Exactly Are You?
Ling Lan slowly walked towards Lord Gen's throne. With a flick of her finger, the stone chair turned into a pile of rubble. Then, it disappeared into thin air. Following that, a majestic ice chair slowly formed. Ling Lan flicked the back of her windbreaker, turned around, and sat down. At the same time, the mark on her forehead started to disappear. Her hair started to get shorter. Her silver hair returned to its normal black color. In the end, she became the familiar cold and domineering Ling Lan.
Li Lanfeng disappeared from his spot. When he appeared again, he was already standing behind Ling Lan. Just like before, he was the person Ling Lan was willing to entrust her back to, the person she trusted the most.
Ling Lan leaned against the chair and raised her head to look at the entrance of the main hall. She said calmly, "Lord Zhen, you're here."
The moment she finished speaking, a figure appeared in the main hall.
He looked around and saw the five guardians hanging on the beam. Then, he saw Ling Lan sitting on the ice chair. His gaze instantly turned cold.
"Where is Lord Gen?" Lord Zhen asked coldly.
The gentle and caring attitude of the 7th Bugle Call had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a serious and guarded look.
"I'm sitting here openly. Lord Zhen, what do you think?" Ling Lan placed her hand on her face and looked at Lord Zhen with a faint smile.
Lord Zhen's gaze froze. "You killed him?"
He silently searched for Lord Gen's aura. There were still traces of it. However, it was like duckweed that had its roots cut off. The rainbow palace belonged to Lord Gen. The originally dense domain concept was slowly dissipating. What replaced it was the ice element that was getting denser and denser. There was also a trace of space concept energy that hadn't dissipated yet.
"The winner takes all. Isn't that the rule of the Lawless Lands?" Ling Lan smiled and said.
"Who are you?" Other than imperial realm formidable warriors, only imperial realm formidable warriors were able to kill Lord Gen. At this moment, Lord Zhen would be an idiot if he still believed that Ling Lan was from the Rainbow Raiders.
"Is that important?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows.
"Of course, if you are a lackey sent by the countries in the central world, we will kill you no matter how powerful your country is. The people from the Lawless Lands will never be allowed to touch it. " Lord Zhen said viciously. This was what all the 13 Lords knew. It was the bottom line of all the factions in the Lawless Lands. If the other party was really sent by those countries, even if the Lawless Lands were completely sealed off and they had no source of resources, they wouldn't lower their heads and let the other party successfully enter the Lawless Lands.
The people of the Lawless Lands were very talented, but at the same time, they also held grudges. The crimes, wars, and chaos in the Lawless Lands were all caused by the countries in the center of the Lawless Lands. If the countries didn't intentionally let those criminals go, how could they have successfully escaped the pursuit of a country and crossed so many galaxies to reach the Lawless Lands?
The countries in the central region didn't care about the resources in the Lawless Lands. The natives of the Lawless Lands were talented, but because of their age, they were useless to them. It would be a waste to eat them.
However, in the depths of their hearts, they were afraid of the natives' talents and powerful combat abilities. Once they broke through the age limit, they would definitely be able to threaten the ruling position of the countries in the central region.
It was because of this mentality that the countries in the central region wanted to restrict the Lawless Lands. In order to prevent the Lawless Lands from developing to the point where they could threaten them, they would send countless evil criminals to the Lawless Lands every year. They wanted the Lawless Lands to become the source of evil, causing the two sides to kill each other. When there weren't enough criminals, they would even send secret agents from the military to infiltrate the Lawless Lands under the disguise of criminals and cause many murders. This deepened the hatred between the natives and the criminals.
Thus, the Lawless Lands became a place where wars and murders didn't stop. Although the natives were competitive in the past and didn't like each other, they didn't cause the Lawless Lands to lose its order and become a place where killing occurred.
In the beginning, the natives were deceived. In reality, the real criminals were indeed murderous maniacs. With these two factors added together, the natives completely hated the criminals from the outside world. As time passed, two large factions slowly formed in the Lawless Lands. The natives and the criminals from the outside world. Although there were internal conflicts between the two factions, as long as there was a war between the two factions, they would put aside all their internal conflicts and unite against the outside world.
After that, although they found out that some countries were secretly causing trouble, the hatred between the two factions had already solidified. There was no way for them to reconcile. Just like that, for a few hundred years, they fought and killed each other. Plus, the resources in the central region were blocked by the countries in the central region. Other than their combat abilities, the Lawless Lands were always in a backward state. It wasn't until the 13 Lords appeared between the two factions. Under the combined efforts of the 13 Lords, the conflict between the two factions eased and the Lawless Lands became relatively stable for a period of time.
After that, the 13 Lords worked together with the mercenary world and successfully opened up a few channels to allow resources from the outside world to enter the Lawless Lands. Thus, the Lawless Lands began to develop in all aspects.
However, this situation was definitely not what the countries in the central region wanted to see.
In order to break the agreement between the 13 Lords, they secretly cultivated their own factions in order to break this stable situation. In the past, Lord Gen and Lord Zhen worked together to kill the powerful faction that could become the 14th Lord. Although they didn't want to share their power with the 13 Lords, in the end, they still found out that the faction came from the central region. This definitely touched the bottom line of the 13 Lords.
Although there were criminals from the outside world among the 13 Lords, they were still criminals who hated the countries in the central region. How could they tolerate this?
Ling Lan used the identity of the Rainbow Raiders to enter the Lawless Lands. This was definitely a good move. If she didn't have this identity, she might have been killed by Lord Gen and Lord Zhen on the 7th Bugle Call at the port.
The reason why they let go of her temporarily was because they were worried about their cooperation with the mercenary world. They didn't want to lose this helper. They didn't want the Lawless Lands to return to the time when they were poor.
Hence, if they wanted to get rid of Ling Lan, they could only do it secretly. They could only use the factions they cultivated in secret. They didn't want to have a falling out with the mercenary world.
However, Lord Zhen now knew that they had fallen into a trap. Their worries didn't exist at all. Ling Lan wasn't even a member of the Rainbow Raiders. At most, she was someone who was related to the White Monarch of the Rainbow Raiders. This kind of personal relationship wouldn't affect the relationship between the mercenary world and the Lawless Lands.
Killing intent rose in Lord Zhen's heart. Purple lightning flashed across his eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm not from the other countries." Ling Lan flipped her right hand. A golden ball with a soul symbol on it appeared in her hand.
Seeing this, a hint of shock flashed past Lord Zhen's eyes. At the same time, he frowned. He, who was about to attack, instantly stopped.
