It was late at night.
Lu Chen was already lying on the bed. His eyes were closed, and he looked like he was asleep.
However, he seemed to wake up from his dream all of a sudden. He sat up abruptly, and a strange black flame burned in his eyes as he scanned his surroundings. When familiar things came into view one after another, Lu Chen realized that he was still in the familiar small wooden house. He sighed softly.
He was in a daze for a moment. Then, he leaned against the wall and pushed open the window.
A ray of moonlight that was as clear as water descended from the sky and shone on him through the window sill.
Lu Chen looked at the bright moon in the sky and realized that it was rounder than yesterday. Perhaps in a few days' time, it would become round again.
The moonlight on the window sill was as white as a veil. The cold wind blew past, cold and lonely.
Lu Chen looked at the lonely night outside the window and suddenly thought of the figure sitting on the window sill the day before yesterday. At that time, White Lotus did not look like a vicious and mysterious person. Instead, she looked more like an innocent and cute girl.
However, just as he thought of this, Lu Chen immediately shook his head and threw this dangerous thought to the back of his mind. That White Lotus was innocent and cute? There must have been many people who had this kind of thought and died in her hands.
At this moment, Lu Chen's expression suddenly changed. In his eyes, a black flame burned again. Somewhere in the distance, there seemed to be a throbbing power that was very familiar. He had been searching for it for a long time. It was the strange three-eyed Blood-devouring Bug.
Lu Chen immediately became spirited. After pondering for a moment, he pressed his hand on the window sill and floated out. Then, he took advantage of the night and blended into the darkness, flying towards the mountain path.
…
On the Winter Peak, in the snowstorm, Perfected Idle Month and Zhuo Xian stood at the entrance of White Lotus's cave abode and looked at each other.
Immortal Idle Month could not help but ask Zhuo Xian, "Where did she go? There's a curfew in the middle of the night. If Junior Sister is still on Kunlun Mountain and someone sees her, it'll be a crime of disrespecting the sect's rules."
Zhuo Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother, I really don't know. Little Junior Sister is extremely intelligent and has always been personally taught by Master. I don't usually talk to her much. "
Daoist Master Idle Moon raised his head to look at the moonlight, and then looked at the even more beautiful spectacle of lightning under the moonlight, surrounded by the violent snowstorm. Then, he exhaled deeply, and then sighed again.
…
Lu Chen moved forward in the darkness, heading towards the strange aura in the distance. That aura was very strange. For some reason, it actually triggered the power of the Black Fire that was hidden in the deepest part of his body. Lu Chen even had a faint feeling that it was the hunger of the Black Fire and the Divine Black Flame Board.
They were like hungry and terrifying hunters, and their prey was the Blood-devouring Worms. As long as he could kill the Blood-devouring Worms, he could absorb even more terrifying aura of the undead.
The dark aura was too obvious. It was like a beacon guiding Lu Chen's direction. However, when he rushed to the mountain path, even though Lu Chen had always been bold and calm, he could not help but change his expression.
On the dark mountain path in front of him, there was a petite figure standing there. Her hands were raised high, and there were traces of ice and snow flowing from her fingertips. On the ground beside her, Lu Chen actually saw the corpses of several Blood-devouring Worms.
Almost all of the Blood-devouring Worms were tightly wrapped in ice and snow. They looked extremely stiff. They were probably frozen to death. At this moment, White Lotus also seemed to have seen Lu Chen. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at him. Then, she suddenly laughed and said, "How is it? Am I considered powerful?"
Lu Chen glanced at the corpses of the Blood-devouring Worms on the ground and could not help but smile bitterly. Then, he nodded and said, "Powerful!"
"Ha!" White Lotus seemed to be happy all of a sudden. She put down her raised hands and walked towards Lu Chen. Then, she said casually, "I originally wanted to go to the Flying Goose Platform to find you, but I did not expect to encounter such strange things on the way. They were extremely vicious, so I simply killed them all."
"Admirable …" Lu Chen nodded and said to White Lotus.
White Lotus laughed and kept walking. At the same time, she said, "Are your words sincere or not?"
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "Your cultivation method might just be able to restrain this kind of monster. But no matter what, it is still powerful."
White Lotus laughed. At this time, she had already walked in front of Lu Chen. Then, she smiled sweetly and said, "Then why are you here? Are you here to pick me up …"
"Stop dreaming. How could I come to pick you up?" Lu Chen snorted at White Lotus's words. Just as he was about to say a few more words to mock her, he suddenly saw White Lotus's body suddenly shake a few times. She closed her eyes and did not make a sound. It was as if she had suddenly become a walking corpse and fell down.
Lu Chen was shocked and subconsciously reached out to hug White Lotus's body. But as soon as he touched her body, Lu Chen's expression changed greatly.
It was like the roar of darkness in the night, suddenly exploding in front of him. A wave of darkness surged over and instantly wrapped around his body.
This feeling was the aura of the strange three-eyed worm. It could not be wrong.
Lu Chen's expression changed several times. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and tore open Bai Lian's right sleeve with a ripping sound. Immediately, a strand of black Qi appeared on her abnormally white wrist. At the same time, a twisted, protruding mark suddenly sprang up from the back of her hand. Then, it crazily rushed up, and it looked like it was about to rush past her shoulder and into her chest.
…
Lu Chen snorted coldly. He suddenly grabbed White Lotus's shoulder with one hand and then fiercely clawed down. His five fingers instantly turned black. Then, black flames gushed out from his hand and directly burned into White Lotus's flesh. White Lotus lost her voice and cried out in pain. But at the same time, the black gas that was rushing up suddenly stopped.
It seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing in the world. For a moment, it did not dare to rush forward. Instead, it turned around and fled.
But at this time, Lu Chen grabbed White Lotus's shoulder with one hand. His other hand followed the root and directly wrapped around White Lotus's elbow!
After a moment, there was a sudden scream. A strange three-eyed worm rushed out from White Lotus's wrist with its fangs and claws bared.
After the strange worm broke out, White Lotus moaned and directly fell to the ground. It looked like she had fainted.
And Lu Chen looked at the evil blood-sucking worm that flew into the air and seemed to want to escape. He suddenly reached out and directly grabbed the body of the blood-sucking worm in the air.
The blood-sucking worm roared and turned its head. It seemed to be completely enraged. Just as it was about to attack Lu Chen, there was suddenly a deep and boundless black flame that was like an iron curtain that suddenly burned.
It burned on Lu Chen's hand.
It also burned on White Lotus's arm. Even from her neck, there were a few strange black lights that lit up.
Under such a pincer attack, the blood-sucking worm had no way out. It was instantly burnt and melted in that raging black flame.
Everything quieted down and the tranquility of the night was restored.
Lu Chen stood in the same place and muttered to himself for a moment. Then he bent down and picked up all the carcasses of the blood-sucking worms. Carrying the unconscious White Lotus, he turned around and left with large strides.
… …
Lu Chen brought White Lotus back to his wooden house. In fact, he didn't really want to do this. But first of all, he really didn't know where to send this girl. Even if he knew White Lotus was a member of Kunwu City's Bai Clan, it was the middle of the night and there was a curfew, so he naturally couldn't send her there.
Everything could only wait until the sun rose tomorrow.
Apart from this, Lu Chen had another reason why he couldn't give up on White Lotus. It was the sudden appearance of the strange three-eyed worm. Why did this vicious worm, known as an ancient killing weapon, suddenly besiege White Lotus? He felt that he had to get to the bottom of this matter.
White Lotus's body, or the foundation of White Lotus's cultivation, was far more powerful than Lu Chen imagined. At first, Lu Chen expected White Lotus to sleep for half a day, but in fact, White Lotus only woke up after an hour.
"What happened?" After seeing that White Lotus had woken up, Lu Chen didn't bother to inquire about her well-being and directly asked her.
White Lotus also seemed very straightforward. She said, "I don't know!"
"I'm asking about those strange three-eyed worms. Why did they suddenly attack you?"
"I don't know either." White Lotus sat up with some difficulty. Then, like how Lu Chen sat most of the time, she leaned against the wall next to the window and said, "In any case, there were no signs at the beginning. Several of them suddenly rushed out and almost swallowed me alive."
Lu Chen furrowed his brows, clearly a little puzzled. On the contrary, White Lotus seemed to be more at ease. Taking advantage of this rare free time, she looked at the somewhat messy little wooden hut and then looked at the night sky on the windowsill. Her face showed a trace of a gratified smile.
Probably because of this quiet scenery, White Lotus's heart finally calmed down. Then, she concentrated for a moment and suddenly said, "But I saw a strange phenomenon."
Lu Chen's spirit was shaken. He stared at her and said, "What is it?"
White Lotus said, "Just now, all those strange three-eyed worms, I don't know why, from the beginning to the end, all of them seemed to be staring at my neck, as if there was a peerless delicacy on my neck."
Lu Chen's expression slightly changed. He said in a low voice, "Your neck?"
White Lotus smiled and said, "It's the wound that you caused and hasn't healed yet. Why do I have a feeling that although those strange worms don't look smart, perhaps they are very interested in the thing that you cultivate with."
"One day, they will come for you again!" White Lotus said threateningly, as if she was pronouncing a sentence to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was silent. He thought to himself, could it be that those Blood-devouring Worms also have an abnormal desire for the power of the black flame? He then thought of the unimaginably terrible dark power that had appeared in the depths of Kunlun during the great earthquake in Kunlun.
Lu Chen stared at White Lotus and did not speak.
White Lotus felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. She frowned and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Lu Chen sighed and said, "Young girl, put on your clothes first."
