Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1347

Seeing the four of them willingly surrender, Yu Shangfei could only sigh softly and speak in a sad tone, “I also willingly accept.”

It was hopeless anyways. Seeing that Lord Zhen had left to meet with the other lords, Lan Xiao's proposal probably had a high chance of being accepted. The reason he was hesitating to surrender was because he was betting on that slim chance of Lan Xiao's proposal getting rejected. However, with most of his colleagues turning sides, he relented and just followed what everyone else was doing.

Ling Lan waved her hand and the five of them fell to the floor.

Ling Lan then pointed towards the five of them. Li Lanfeng smiled and appeared in front of them in the next second. Then, he handed out five vials of medicinal agents.

Seeing the suspicious vials, Ji Ming and the others gave a questioning gaze. They all looked up towards Ling Lan, who was sitting on the throne made out of ice.

Ling Lan was holding her chin and looking at them with a half-smile on her face.

“What's wrong? You don't want to?” asked Li Lanfeng.

Despite Li Lanfeng's words being very kind and mild-mannered, Ji Ming, Yu Shangfei and the other three still felt as though ice water was poured over their heads. They immediately shuddered and didn't dare to hesitate, taking one vial each.

“Drink up!” Li Lanfeng smiled sweetly as he spoke.

Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei looked at each other at apprehension. They simultaneously gritted their teeth and drank down a vial of medicinal agent in one gulp.

Among the guardians who served Lord Gen, Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei had much more influence than the other three guardians. Seeing the two of them give in, the other three also didn't dare to hesitate and drink the medicinal agent. They were now like lambs to slaughter, how could they even resist against this?

After drinking the medicinal agent, they felt a feeling that they couldn't describe rus.h.i.+ng deep into their bones. The immense pain they felt was as though someone was ripping them apart from the inside. The five of them had cold sweat come out from their foreheads as they screamed in agony on the floor. If it was just simple pain, they wouldn't have a hard time going through it. They had fought through many types of dangerous situations and had been injured countless of times. All of those torturous times they managed to survive the pain. However, this unbearable pain had a constant numb and itchy feeling that they couldn't get rid of. Moreover, it was also spreading all over their body.

This feeling was cutting up their pride. It was so unbearable that they were willing to die rather than endure such torment.

Perhaps this was a test. One guardian suddenly raised his head, trying to smash into the marble flooring. He wanted to make himself faint or perhaps even dying was fine as well.

Shoo! A chain suddenly wrapped around his head, locking his head in place and stopping him from smas.h.i.+ng his head on the floor. Luo Lang looked at the disheveled individuals on the floor coldly. He quickly wrapped his chains around her head to stop anyone from trying to even think of escaping.

“It's not that easy if you want to become my subordinates. Let's wait until you get past this stage before talking to me.” In the end, they heard their new Lord Gen speaking down to them coldly. After hearing those words, they all fell unconscious.

Seeing the five of them black out from the pain, Luo Lang took back his chains in disgust as he murmured, “Just one vial and they already blacked out. Useless.”

Ling Lan looked towards the five and said, “Not only do their bodies have innate flaws, they also have many problems from their training. It's their first time using the second generation gene agent. The more problems their bodies have, the stronger the effect of the medicine. It would have been odd if they hadn't fainted.”

“Can they even be trusted?” Luo Lang was a bit worried. During these times, he really missed his friends in Lingtian. If Boss wanted to take over the Lawless Lands, they would need more people to do it so they had to compromise with these distrustful locals.

“It's fine even if they can't be trusted. As long as I am the Lord Gen that the lords acknowledge, they wouldn't dare to create huge problems for us,” Ling Lan said calmly.

“They will be annoying though,” added Li Lanfeng with a smile on his face.

“Wouldn't that make it hard for us?” Luo Lang was definitely still a newbie when it came to psychological warfare.

“It won't be hard for us. As long as the 13 Lords don't make a move, no matter how many things they try to do, it would be useless,” explained Li Lanfeng.

“We can't let our guard down just yet. Even I'm just 50% sure that they would accept my proposal. If they believe it then it will be fine. If they don't…” Ling Lan sighed. The plan she used against Lord Zhen was dancing at the tip of a blade. If something had gone wrong, they would have been forced into a dead end. Luckily, she managed to fool him.

In reality, Ling Lan went into battle with an empty bag of nothing. Other than the token of White Monarch and the orb from the Soul Society, she had nothing else. It was just like she was performing a show by using the name of someone stronger than her to scare off her opponents. If the 13 Lords still wouldn't allow her to stay in the end, she would take Li Lanfeng, Luo Lang and everyone on the 7th Bugle Call to run away from this place.

That was right. Ling Lan was using the White Monarch's name. She also accidentally took in a subordinate from the Soul Society when she did her a.s.signments. Her subordinate was also a prodigy. He took the opportunity and cooperated with Ling Lan, who replaced the Frost Monarch, and acquired the power to dispose of people in the Chaotic Lands. Afterwards, he slowly climbed the ranks within the Soul Society and was now the governor of the 18th District. That golden orb was the item he gave Ling Lan as a token of trust. It represented his loyalty to Ling Lan.

“What are we going to do now? Are we going to continue to wait here?” Luo Lang looked around them. When they first entered this place, they had made all of the servants here faint. Now, other than the three of them, there were unconscious people everywhere.

“Going by the strength of the medicinal agent, they probably would wake up after 2 hours,” Li Lanfeng knew the specifications of the agent well.

“I'm very interested in the rainbow palace.” Ling Lan raised her head and looked towards the roof of the main hall. Every pillar and pole were set in a clever way. It was as though it used the theory of body armor. Plus, when she was fighting with Lord Gen, she felt the rainbow palace was replenis.h.i.+ng Lord Gen's domain energy almost infinitely. This was someone a normal palace couldn't do.

“I also sensed it,” nodded Li Lanfeng.

“Boss, what are you guys saying? What did you sense?” Luo Lang was very confused. He hated when Boss and that sly fox Li Lanfeng spoke in code. It made him feel like he was being left out.

“You can go to your calm personality for help you know,” said Li Lanfeng.

Now that the situation had turned for the better, Li Lanfeng was able to make jokes.

“Hmph!” Luo Lang snorted coldly in dissatisfaction. Then, he obediently went to go find his calm personality.

Ling Lan shook her head helplessly. Luo Lang would always be easily ordered around by Li Lanfeng. As luck would have it, Luo Lang never learned. Luo Lang was lucky that Li Lanfeng didn't have any evil intentions, otherwise, Luo Lang wouldn't even know how he managed to die. Especially when the calm personality couldn't constantly stay by Luo Lang's side.

Not long after, Luo Lang received the answer and thought about it deeply. Then, he realized something and said, “I see. Boss's ice element concept was weakening, but the original Lord Gen's insect concept energy was increasing.”

“The rainbow palace is trying to recover the insect concept and at the same time flush out other concepts that aren't of the insect element.” Ling Lan flicked her right hand and a simple military knife made from ice slowly formed in her palm. Her activation of the ice element stopped the ice element concept in the palace from weakening. It also temporarily stopped the rainbow palace from recovering the insect element concept.
