Lu Chen took a few steps forward and sat down on the stone steps in the small yard. He was a little far from Perfected Lord Tianlan, but they could still see each other clearly.
Perfected Lord Tianlan looked at him without any anger on his face. His eyes were gentle and there was even a hint of a smile on his lips, as if he was looking at a stubborn and naughty child.
"How have you been?" He asked Lu Chen with a smile.
Lu Chen said, "Not bad."
"Is there any progress on that matter?"
Lu Chen glanced at him and said lightly, "Old Ma knows all these things and he must have told you clearly. Why do you still ask me?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan smiled and said, "He is not you after all. There might be some differences when he conveys the message in the middle. Besides, I still want to hear you say it again. "
Lu Chen frowned and said after a moment of silence, "I still don't have any clues. I didn't find any traces of the Devil Cult's activities on Kunlun Mountain either. I can only slowly investigate it now. I randomly set a few targets and asked Old Ma to investigate them first and see what the results are. "
Perfected Lord Tianlan nodded with an indifferent expression and said, "I got it. But I'm a little curious about the two people you want to investigate. Why did you choose these two girls instead of others?"
Lu Chen said expressionlessly, "There's no reason. I just met them a few times and it was convenient."
"Convenient …" Even though Perfected Lord Tianlan was experienced and knowledgeable, he couldn't help but smile bitterly at this moment and said, "It seems that those two girls are a little unlucky to know you."
Lu Chen looked up slightly and said, "If they are the spies of the Devil Cult, then they are really unlucky."
"Alright." Perfected Lord Tianlan smiled and waved his hand. "Anyway, you just do it. I believe in you."
Lu Chen smiled, then glanced at him and said, "Why do you have the time to visit me today? I remember that you have been staying in Zhenxianmeng for a while, right?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan said, "I've been back for a while now and I've always wanted to meet you. However, it's really inconvenient on Kunlun. Now that you're at the foot of the mountain, it's rare for you to come down. That's why it's been delayed until today." He smiled and said, "Actually, if you don't come today, I'll be leaving tomorrow."
Lu Chen was startled for a moment, then said, "No wonder Old Ma was so anxious."
Perfected Lord Tianlan smiled without saying anything.
Lu Chen frowned and suddenly said, "You've been back for a while and you came back secretly without anyone in the sect knowing?" His eyes suddenly brightened and sharpened as he looked at Perfected Lord Tian Lan. "Did something happen in the sect?"
"Something came up."
"What is it?"
"It's not convenient for me to tell you."
Lu Chen's eyes flashed and he looked at Perfected Lord Tian Lan. "Oh, you can't even tell me?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan thought for a while and then shook his head. "It's still hard to say. However, I might be able to tell you when you're done with this and I take you in as a disciple."
Lu Chen looked at Perfected Lord Tian Lan and the light in his eyes grew brighter. He suddenly stood up and said, "Seems like it's a big matter?"
"Yes, it's a big matter."
"And it's a big secret of the Kunlun Party!"
"I think so." Perfected Lord Tian Lan smiled and said, "Why? Are you very curious and want to know?"
"Yes." Lu Chen answered crisply, "What secret is there in the Kunlun Party that the Fiend Cult coveted it so much that they even bet the fate of the entire sect on it? There must be something behind it. It might be helpful in finding the Fiend Cult spy. I want to know. "
Perfected Lord Tian Lan was silent for a moment as though he was weighing the pros and cons in his heart. Then, he smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I still can't tell you. However, I can tell you that only Senior Brother Bai Chen and I participated in that matter. I believe it has nothing to do with the Fiend Cult spy that you mentioned. "
Lu Chen's expression changed slightly. After a while, he shook his head slowly and said, "You two Perfected Lords are highly respected. It's naturally impossible for you to collude with the Fiend Cult."
Perfected Lord Tian Lan smiled without saying anything. He looked at Lu Chen and a dark light flickered in the depths of his eyes like gentle waves on the ocean.
…
The bird chirped and didn't fly away even after a long time. It seemed to be reluctant to part with Perfected Lord Tianlan's huge bald head. It looked around and occasionally pecked at the shiny skull with its beak. However, Perfected Lord Tian Lan looked calm as though he did not care about the bird at all and did not feel the pain at all.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Perfected Lord Tian Lan asked Lu Chen.
Lu Chen asked, "You want to help me?"
"Shouldn't I? I was the one who asked you to do this. If there's anything I can help with, I can also do something in passing. "
"There are a few people. Help me kill them," Lu Chen said.
Perfected Lord Tian Lan said, "… That's not very good, right?" After thinking for a while, he said, "Are you sure that those people are suspected to be Fiend Cult spies?"
"No, I just don't like them." Lu Chen said and then added, "Just like you."
Perfected Lord Tian Lan smiled bitterly and sighed. "I shouldn't have told you the truth back then."
Lu Chen sneered.
Perfected Lord Tian Lan looked at him with gentle eyes that still seemed to be doting. However, after a while, he suddenly said, "Little Lu, I realized that you're a little different from before."
Lu Chen said, "What?"
"You don't seem to be afraid of me anymore."
Lu Chen sneered and said sarcastically, "Look at what you're saying, as if I've been afraid of you for so many years. Didn't I say the same thing to you a few years ago?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan shook his head with a playful look in his eyes. He looked at Lu Chen and said, "That's not it. Back then, even though you were always joking around in front of me, you still had some respect for me."
"Come on, why would I be afraid of you …"
"You're not afraid of me. You respected the word 'Perfected Lord' deep in your heart. At that time, I could tell that you, like almost all the cultivators in the world, had an instinctive fear and admiration for the supreme position of Perfected Lord, this realm, and the strength that this title represents. " Perfected Lord Tian Lan smiled but his eyes were unusually bright as he looked at Lu Chen. It was as if he could see through his body and see through his organs.
"That's the supreme realm that billions of cultivators can never reach in their entire lives. For thousands of years, everyone respected it. Everyone is the same. I can tell."
"Ha!" Lu Chen laughed, but there seemed to be a slight change in his expression.
Perfected Lord Tian Lan looked at him and said slowly, "But when we met in the barren valley previously, I felt that something was wrong. However, I couldn't figure it out no matter how I thought about it."
His eyes flickered slightly and he said gently, "It was only when I looked at you just now that I suddenly understood what was wrong."
The smile on Lu Chen's face suddenly disappeared as he looked at the fat man coldly.
Perfected Lord Tian Lan pointed at Lu Chen and said calmly, "You're not afraid of me anymore. To be exact, you, an ordinary cultivator with such a low cultivation base, actually no longer have that instinctive reverence for the strength of a Soul Formation Perfected Lord."
Lu Chen said coldly, "I don't understand what you've been talking about."
Perfected Lord Tian Lan narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Chen as if he was re-examining him. After a while, he suddenly said, "God Subduing Mantra, right?"
Lu Chen's face suddenly turned pale.
…
When Atsu ran out of the forest, it looked at the sky. Although it was still bright, the sun was already setting in the west. It should be evening soon.
Today, on the Dog Head Mountain, it was very happy and excited. It finally blended in with those immortal birds and strange beasts that usually had their eyes on the top of their heads. It made it feel proud and elated. Even its footsteps when it ran back seemed to be lighter than usual.
It was a pity that dogs couldn't hum, otherwise, Atsu would definitely be whistling all the way back.
From afar, it saw Lu Chen's house and Atsu ran all the way there. However, when it was about a hundred feet away, Atsu suddenly stopped.
It saw a figure walking back and forth outside the house.
It was a man with a strange expression on his face. His face was a little red and his eyes were a little unfocused. His chest was heaving up and down as if he was gasping for breath. There was also a hand that was hidden in his chest as if he was grabbing something.
That person kept looking around, but more often than not, he was staring at Lu Chen's house. He was mumbling something, but it was unclear what he was saying. He just kept pacing around the house.
Atsu was a little puzzled and stared at that person for a while. But apart from his suspicious behavior, that person didn't seem to be doing anything else. Atsu waited for a while and saw that the sky seemed to be a little darker. After thinking for a while, it felt that it should go back first.
So, it ran towards the house. When it ran past that person, it could see that the man glanced at it, but he didn't seem to care, nor did he do anything else.
Atsu was a little relieved. It ran to the door and called twice, but the house was quiet. No one answered.
Behind it, the man suddenly stopped and turned around to look at it.
Atsu didn't pay attention to the movement behind it. Unfortunately, it found that there was no one at home. But now, this kind of thing was no longer a problem for it. Wagging its tail, Atsu ran to the back of the house. The small dog hole there was now its exclusive passage.
But at this moment, suddenly, there was a call from behind it.
"Little dog …"
Atsu's footsteps paused for a moment. It stopped in front of the dog hole and looked back. It saw that it was the strange man from before. He didn't know when he had walked over, but he was standing not far behind it. There was a strange smile on his face, and he smiled at it.
His teeth were very white.
Deathly white!
