I Don't Sell Cheats

No matter how high one's cultivation level is, if a terrifying thing suddenly happens in front of them, anyone would be frightened unless they have undergone special training; it's a biological instinct.

Jiang Lan had no professional training in this area, so she was indeed frightened.

The problem is that Jiang Lan is not Mortals, but a former Heavenly Gods and now Immortals.

So while she was terrified, her Struggle instincts drove her body to attack the object that terrified her.

A surge of pure and powerful Immortal Essence burst forth from her body. Even a seemingly random palm strike, when unleashed by Jiang Lan in her current form, would be enough to shatter mountains and split seas.

With a deafening roar, half of the longhouse collapsed, and the residual force of Jiang Lan's palm strike shattered the surrounding area, including the entire village to the east.

The earth shook, and Fusang, whose terrain was already unstable, experienced a violent earthquake at this moment.

Bai Qiuran quickly hugged her and comforted her, "It's alright, it's alright now."

Jiang Lan, still shaken, quickly used her inner energy to calm herself. Then she said, "Qiuran, quickly capture that Vengeful Ghost."

"I was just about to say... when I'm catching Vengeful Ghost, I usually use entrapment."

Bai Qiuran shook her head with a wry smile.

"But you've already finished dealing with that ghost."

He pointed to the hole Jiang Lan had made. Jiang Lan peeked out and saw a flat, broken plain in front of her. She lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

Bai Qiuran originally wanted to capture this Vengeful Ghost and interrogate it further about the situation in the Ghost Realm. Wisdom Immortal could also use her Great Wisdom to help investigate where this Vengeful Ghost came from.

But now that Jiang Lan has already slapped that Vengeful Ghost so hard that not even a speck of dust remains, there's nothing that can be done about it.

After the Vengeful Ghost dissipated, most of the Yin Qi that had enveloped the entire village vanished, and the surrounding scenery changed slightly. The illusion of the Vengeful Ghost's influence on the village disappeared.

Jiang Lan and Bai Qiuran looked down at the ground. On the floor of the longhouse lay a pile of people, all with ashen faces and gruesome deaths, much like the family that had died in the Kyoto mansion.

Judging from their clothing, they must be villagers from this area and warriors who have come to fight them.

Upon seeing the corpse, Jiang Lan calmed down. She crouched down and carefully examined the body on the ground, then exclaimed in surprise, "Huh, there are still two people alive here."

She pulled two people from the corpses on the ground. One was a man dressed in luxurious clothes, who looked like the young master of a wealthy family. The other was a woman dressed in close-fitting black clothes. According to Jiang Lan, this should be a so-called "ninja," probably the young master's bodyguard.

Both of them possessed True Qi and should be considered somewhat renowned experts on this Fusang Island. However, they were weakened by the ravages of the Vengeful Ghost. Bai Qiuran separated a True Qi to awaken the two of them.

The two slowly woke up and saw Jiang Lan and Bai Qiuran standing in front of them. The ninja seemed to be in slightly better physical condition, waking up first and then immediately running to the man's side, shaking his shoulders.

"Young Master, Young Master, are you alright?"

"Yeah, Xiangzi."

The man shook his head, then looked around somewhat dazedly.

"I remember we met while staying overnight in a village... wait?"

He saw Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan and paused for a moment.

"You're awake."

Bai Qiuran nodded to him.

"It seems everything's alright, let's go, Lan'er."

He took Jiang Lan's hand and turned to leave, but the man called them back.

Please wait a moment.

He stood up with the help of the female ninja, and then bowed in Bai Qiuran's direction.

"It was you two who repelled that Ghosts and saved us, right? We are truly grateful. I am..."

"Sigh, you don't need to tell us your name."

Bai Qiuran interrupted him, saying, "We're not interested."

"Then at least tell me the name of my benefactor."

Do good deeds anonymously.

Bai Qiuran replied, "Just call us Young Pioneers."

He led Jiang Lan out on his own, and the man followed with his female ninja. Then he saw the horrific scene of Jiang Lan blasting him away with a single palm strike, and he gasped in shock, staring at Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan in horror.

The two women had their backs to him and ignored him. A light rain began to fall, Bai Qiuran opened his paper umbrella to shield Jiang Lan from the raindrops.

After watching for a while, the man suddenly thought of something, quickly ran to Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan, and performed a deep bow in front of them.

What are you doing?

Bai Qiuran and asked.

"I humbly request that you accept me as your apprentice."

The man kowtowed.

"Oh."

Bai Qiuran glanced at him, then at the mess Jiang Lan had created, and immediately understood. He asked, "You want to learn skills? What do you plan to do with them?"

"To unify the world and save the people from suffering."

The man answered with his head bowed.

As a result, Bai Qiuran simply said something indifferently.

"If you won't teach, get out."

He opened his umbrella and prepared to take a detour with Jiang Lan, but the man, seeing this, shamelessly followed again, changed positions, and performed another dogeza (a deep bowing gesture).

Then he straightened up Bai Qiuran, "Why? Shouldn't you use all your knowledge to save the common people?"

"Oh? Saving the world, huh? Okay then."

Bai Qiuran looked at him, gave a cold laugh, and suddenly asked, "Who is the strongest Daimyo in this country right now?"

Why did you ask that, sir?

The man was puzzled, but he answered honestly, "Right now, the strongest Daimyo should be Imagawa Clan Lord Suruga Yoshimoto. Lord Yoshimoto only recently successfully entered Kyoto, and now he is known as the most powerful Daimyo in eastern Fusang."

"That's it."

Bai Qiuran nodded.

"I'll go find Imagawa Yoshimoto and take him as my apprentice."

"Why?"

The man looked completely bewildered.

Didn't you ask me to save the world?

Bai Qiuran looked him up and down.

"To save Fusang now, the fastest way is to unify the world. So, wouldn't it be faster and less costly to choose Imagawa Yoshimoto, who is both powerful and prestigious, than to recruit an unknown junior like you? Every second counts, child."

The man opened his mouth, then retorted, "How can that be?"

Why not?

Bai Qiuran tilted her head and looked at him.

"Since Imagawa Yoshimoto was able to develop his family to the point where he could march on Kyoto, he must be quite capable, and ruling the world wouldn't be a problem for him. With my guidance, Fusang will be under his control in less than a month."

He paused, then added.

"As for you... he's now a citizen of the world. In order to save the common people, you could dress yourself up nicely and serve this savior of Fusang servant."

Hearing Bai Qiuran insult her master like that, the female ninja roared in anger, "You bastard!"

But when Jiang Lan glared at her, the female ninja was struck as if by a heavy blow; her body stiffened, and she was unable to move.

Where can one find such a way to save people from this dire situation?

The man couldn't help but retort angrily.

"Why isn't it there?!"

However, Bai Qiuran spoke even louder. He shouted and continued looking at the man, "If you truly wanted to save the people of this country, you wouldn't be arguing with me here; you would be happily agreeing to my demands... In the end, your wish isn't to save the people from their suffering, but to make yourself a citizen of the world."

The man remained silent.

"If I teach you, what about the other Daimyo? I don't believe none of them have considered changing this situation. So why should I teach you?"

Bai Qiuran shook his head and said, "So, if you want to become a powerful figure, you need to gather your own forces and compete with these Daimyo."
