Chapter 266: Choice

As the illusion of the ‘Illusionary Heavenly Flower’ was lifted, people in Qianyefang City gradually woke up.

They looked at the completely different world with confused faces, and for a moment they couldn’t figure out what was going on.

Jiang Lan’s spirit beasts were limited after all, and there were still too many people lying outside.

Only a small number of nearby ones were rescued and moved to Xiaoyao Pavilion.

Of course, they continued to execute Jiang Lan’s orders until people woke up.

But how could the awakened people, looking at the monsters in front of them, easily believe it, not to mention that they didn’t speak the language, but most of them were facing each other with swords.

Fortunately, Jiang Lan also had this premonition and gave the spirit beasts an order.

If people woke up, they didn’t have to worry about it, just run back to Xiaoyao Pavilion.

“Ah! What is this!”

“Run!”

“Hey, monster tree, take my sword!”

However, they had not yet fully adapted to this sudden change in the world, and danger came immediately.

The ground was covered with branches and vines. Not only were they hard, but they would also roll up people. Once they rolled up people, they would be carried to the ground. No one knew where they were taken...

Jiang Lan also encountered such a situation along the way.

He would help along the way, but he could not help those who were farther away.

It was a matter of life and death, and he had to gather everyone as soon as possible...

The two rushed into Xiaoyao Pavilion.

At this moment, the attic of Xiaoyao Pavilion was full of people, including the backyard.

And several of the leaders gathered on the third floor of Xiaoyao Pavilion to understand the situation.

Bang!

Su Zhi punched the handrail with a crisp sound, and his face was extremely ugly. "Damn it, it turns out that the 'Treasure Lake' is a bait used to paralyze us and gather resources!"

The foundation-building cultivators at the scene all looked ugly.

Isn't it? If there was no opportunity like the 'Treasure Lake', how could Qianyefang City gather so many people?

Huang Yixue stroked his beard, "Fishing and nesting, he is an expert..."

The beautiful woman Sun Ningxi beside him said anxiously: "Okay, now is not the time to discuss this, since the matter is clear, should we go to help those two?"

He was talking about Jiang Lan and Cheng Shu. Everyone present here, this time is considered to be a favor to the adults, otherwise Jiang Lan and his help, I am afraid I don't know what will happen.

"Let's go!" Su Zhi couldn't wait to hear this, and he got up and left without saying a word.

However, he paused and showed a look of surprise.

The same was true for everyone present.

"Haha, Lan boy, I knew you would be fine!"

Sure enough, Jiang Lan and Cheng Shu appeared in front of everyone.

Jiang Lan was still wearing a blue and white robe, and he looked unchanged. It was hard to believe that he was going to fight.

In comparison, Cheng Shu's ragged appearance now was more in line with their post-war appearance.

In any case, the two looked safe and sound, which made everyone feel relieved.

But then, everyone immediately noticed Jiang Lan's solemn expression.

"I believe you all know what happened roughly. Now the situation is critical. Please gather all the monks. I have something important to discuss..."

Seeing this, everyone knew that the matter was serious, nodded to show that they understood, and left in a hurry.

After a while, in the hustle and bustle, most people still came here, wanting to listen to what Jiang Lan said.

The reason why not all of them is that some people, after waking up, can't wait to leave, or look for relatives and friends, or look for opportunities...

For this group of people, Jiang Lan will go with them.

Based on his understanding of monks, if half of the people present agree with his plan, they already trust him.

He does have a way to get out of this cage, but only he is allowed to be alone.

And if you want to take everyone away, you can only sign a contract with him and collect the "Ten Thousand Spirits Painting Scroll" as a path.

But this means that they have to entrust their lives to him...

They are not familiar with Jiang Lan, so it is estimated that it is difficult for them to agree.

As expected, when Jiang Lan told them about this, the reactions were varied.

A middle-aged man snorted coldly: "This is absolutely not possible. To entrust my life to others is no different from death to me. I dare not agree with it."

"Hehe, if it weren't for Senior Wuling calling him to sit down the spirit beast and rescue us, we would have been beheaded long ago!"

One of Jiang Lan's supporters said so.

"Humph, did you see it? Who knows if what they said is true or false."

"Yes, can you guarantee that this is not a play he put on for us to see?"

Some people even doubted Jiang Lan's goodwill...

"Humph, if that's the case, why did you tell us the truth?"

"Playing hard to get!"

"Humph, unreasonable!"

In an instant, the scene was divided into three groups, one side supported Jiang Lan and was grateful for Jiang Lan's righteous action.

One side suspected that this was a conspiracy from the beginning to the end. Even though Jiang Lan was a cultivator at the foundation-building level, he still couldn't convince them.

Another side was wavering. After all, it was too dangerous to entrust one's life to others. Not everyone had the courage to do so...

In the midst of the noise, someone asked, "Excuse me, Senior Five Spirits, is this the only way for us to go?"

Jiang Lan, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes, told them the solution given by Senior Ye, and let them make their own choice.

In this way, the arguments gradually died down, and most people had already made up their minds.

Xu Xin walked up to Jiang Lan and said, "President, everything is ready!"

Jiang Lan nodded and stood up. The reason why he gave these people the opportunity to discuss was to wait for Xu Xin and the others to pack up their belongings.

Since the time has come, in the spirit of the last humanistic care, he gave them a choice.

"The situation is critical. Those who agree with my proposal can sign the contract. One minute later, I will take the signer away..."

In front of everyone present, a scroll shadow appeared, which explained the details of the contract.

From the contract point of view, it is still very good, stipulating the responsibilities and obligations of both parties.

They don't have to be completely loyal to Jiang Lan, but there are a few bottom lines, such as not betraying Jiang Lan in any form, and not revealing some of Jiang Lan's secrets to others.

For some people who have already made up their minds, they no longer hesitated, and directly pressed the handprint to complete the contract.

The scroll flashed with a flash of light and sank into their bodies, and they didn't feel anything strange.

Some people saw this and breathed a sigh of relief, and also signed the contract.

All the wavering ones were persuaded to sign the contract by their relatives and friends, or persuaded to give up by their master's family.

Of course, during the period when Jiang Lan was waiting, there were also people from outside, some of whom were acquaintances here, and some were attacked by branches and vines outside and came here to seek refuge.

Some people also learned about the situation outside through them and decided to sign the contract.

The crowd was completely divided into two parts, those who signed the contract, and those who did not sign the contract...

However, not only them, but even the foundation builders were embarrassed.
