1361 Bottom Line!
This was the first thought the three people in charge of Building Block, Flying Moth Locust, and Tian Pingyuan had when they walked into the main hall.
At that moment, they finally understood what Guardian Yu meant when he said that Lord Gen was more powerful than before.
At first, they thought that Lord Gen had a breakthrough and became even more powerful. In order to show their loyalty to Lord Gen, they tactfully expressed their wish to congratulate him. Now, from the looks of it, Guardian Yu's drunken slip of the tongue wasn't really a slip of the tongue. He purposely revealed it to them.
The three of them were able to make Lord Gen allow them to grow in his territory. They were all powerful people. After thinking for a while, they knew that they were being used by Yu Shangfei and Ji Ming.
The three of them looked at each other. They had a tacit understanding but they also had their own thoughts.
Who exactly was this new Lord Gen? They decided to wait and see.
Right at that moment, a man in a red robe suddenly appeared on the ice chair. He slowly sat down.
Without asking, they knew that this was the new Lord Gen just from the oppressive aura he gave off.
The three of them lowered their heads and bowed. "Lord Gen!"
Ling Lan looked at Ji Ming coldly. Ji Ming hurriedly stepped forward and introduced them from left to right. "Lord Gen, these three are the person in charge of Building Block Hall, Huo Yan. The person in charge of Flying Moth Locust, Lu Jiazhi. The person in charge of Tian Pingyuan, Xiang Tengyun."
"I heard that you wanted to meet me. That's great. I also want to get to know the people in charge of the factions in my territory," Ling Lan said calmly.
The three of them didn't dare to reply. They didn't know what the new Lord Gen meant. Was he trying to intimidate them or was he trying to maintain a friendly relationship with them?
"In my territory, other than my people, there won't be any other factions." Ling Lan wasn't interested in arguing with them so she went straight to the point.
The three of their expressions changed slightly. A faint smile appeared on Ji Ming's face.
"You have two choices now. One is to move out of my territory. The other is to join my rainbow palace." Ling Lan straightforwardly announced her decision. As the base of her future business, she had no interest in sharing it with others. She was no longer the Ling Lan who didn't care about anything as long as it didn't cross her bottom line. Now, she wanted to become an overlord and couldn't give in at all.
"Lord Gen, the previous Lord Gen had an agreement with us. Even if he isn't Lord Gen anymore, you can't break the agreement with the previous Lord Gen." Lu Jiazhi couldn't hold it in anymore and replied agitatedly.
Ling Lan smirked, "He is him, and I am me. If you are dissatisfied, you can go find him."
Lu Jiazhi said angrily, "Alright, I want to see the previous Lord Gen."
Ling Lan looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. This look made the angry Lu Jiazhi feel as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head. He quivered and calmed down.
"Do you really want to see him?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and asked.
Lu Jiazhi's mouth moved, but he couldn't squeeze out the word 'really'.
"What a pity. You should know that the previous Lord Gen was quite lonely in Hell …" Ling Lan touched Little White, who was lying on her leg, and said with a regretful tone.
The moment Ling Lan said this, the three of them looked at Ling Lan in fear. They originally thought that the previous Lord Gen had given up his position to the new Lord Gen. That was why they were so angry when they heard the new Lord Gen breaking the contract. However, now, they knew that the new Lord Gen didn't succeed the previous Lord Gen peacefully. He used bloody methods to kill the previous Lord Gen and sat on the throne.
However, did the other 13 Lords not have any objections to such bloody methods?
The same question appeared in the minds of the three people in charge. As people who stayed in Lord Gen's territory for a long time, they more or less knew that the 13 Lords of the Lawless Lands were always in conflict with each other on the surface. However, they were still secretly in contact with each other. They just didn't know how deep and close the relationship was.
Also, the three of them could feel that the new Lord Gen had ill intentions towards them. When he said those words just now, they really felt the killing intent that flashed past Lord Gen's body.
The three of them were on guard at the same time. Building Block Huo Yan's drooping right hand quietly slipped a black bead from his sleeve.
"I don't have much patience. Tell me, which path do you want to choose?" Ling Lan saw that the three of them had calmed down, so she continued asking them.
The sooner she solved this problem, the sooner she could go back to cultivating. After all, she had the future of many people on her shoulders. Little Four, Floret, her father, and even Xie Yi. Whether they could wake up or not depended on her concept energy and spiritual power. What she lacked the most now was time. If Ling Lan didn't have strong self-control and was able to control her actions, she probably would have sunk into her cultivation and wouldn't be able to pull herself out.
"Lord Gen, are you forcing us to leave?" Huo Yan said in pain. They had worked hard in Lord Gen's territory for their entire lives. All their benefits and power were here. It could be said that they had spent their entire lives here. If they really left, they would have to start all over again from scratch. Unfortunately, they were already old. They didn't have the courage to make a comeback.
"You can think of it that way," Ling Lan said calmly.
"Lord Gen, you can do anything, but you can't do anything that leaves you with no way out." Xiang Tengyun clenched his fists. The veins on the side of his head were about to explode. It could be seen that he was the same as the other two. He hated Ling Lan's ruthless way of doing things.
"I've already given you a choice. No matter which one you choose, I'll still let you live," Ling Lan said calmly.
She didn't give the order to kill them directly. This was Ling Lan's bottom line. Ling Lan didn't forget the mural she saw in the learning space. She didn't choose to walk the cold and emotionless path back then. She wouldn't walk that path now.
"We won't choose either of these two choices." The three people in charge looked at each other and replied in unison.
In the past, they resisted the previous Lord Gen's oppression and fought for a chance to develop. It wasn't because of their eloquence or the previous Lord Gen's kindness. It was because the three of them had something that could threaten the previous Lord Gen.
With this sound, Building Block Huo Yan suddenly raised his hand, revealing the black bead in his hand.
"Lord Gen, don't force us to use this," Huo Yan said calmly.
Ling Lan frowned slightly. What was this black bead? Why didn't she recognize it? She didn't have any similar information in her memory. Was this a bluff? Or was it really dangerous for her?
Ling Lan narrowed her eyes slightly. Her right hand slowly touched Little White's soft fur as though she was thinking about something.
