In the dead of night, the bright moon hung high in the sky. Outside Kunwu City, in a nameless mountain forest.
Hurried screams and desperate running mixed together, piercing through the silence of the mountain forest, creating ripples in the darkness like water. A black shadow rushed out of the forest. It was a huge black bear. Under the moonlight, one could see that the fur on its body, chest, and back was already covered with a hard, plate-like skin. It was very different from ordinary bears. Obviously, it was a ferocious beast that had already advanced to become a Demonic Beast.
Demonic beasts like this might not be considered high in rank, but their fighting strength couldn't be underestimated. Their strength was often several times greater than that of ordinary beasts, and their temperaments were even more ferocious, making them very difficult to provoke.
In an ordinary mountain forest, this kind of demonic beast was enough to occupy a mountain or a forest, becoming the king of beasts in this area.
But in this dark night, this black bear demonic beast looked somewhat panicked. There was fear in its eyes as it ran forward with all its might. It seemed as if it wished it could grow wings and fly as fast as possible, leaving this dark mountain forest as quickly as possible.
While this demonic beast was madly running away, the moonlit mountain forest was cold and silent. Not a single sound dared to be heard. All the beasts, including the birds, seemed to be doing their best to hide their auras, not daring to make any sound.
Suddenly, the moonlight shining on the horizon darkened and a cold wind blew in the darkness of the night. A strange aura blew from the depths of the forest to the left of this black bear demonic beast.
The black bear roared, but the sound of the wind suddenly became fierce. Like a thunderclap, a black shadow blocked the moonlight in the sky and covered the black bear's shadow.
"Roar!"
The black bear let out a crazy and desperate roar. Its huge body was knocked to the ground by the sudden force. It raised its huge bear paw and smashed it down, but the black shadow advanced and retreated like lightning, dodging the paw in an instant. Then, it suddenly approached. In the darkness, a cold light shone — sharp fangs as bright as frost!
A dim light flickered in those dark eyes, and a green flame was burning.
The black bear's roar came to an abrupt end. All sounds seemed to be blocked in its throat and were drowned out by the gushing blood. Its huge body struggled frantically, but no matter how hard it tried, it could not break free from those terrifying sharp teeth and the ghostly black shadow.
Gradually, the Demonic Beast's body softened. Life flowed out of its strong body like water, like a fountain of blood being drunk dry.
The jade-green flames burned in that lonely eye, and the darkness seemed to be roaring faintly.
The forest was silent, and everything gradually quieted down.
A black shadow slowly walked out of the darkness. It was a black dog whose body had expanded a lot. Its strong and bulging muscles seemed to contain infinite power. When blood dripped from its sharp teeth, it didn't seem to notice.
Moonlight sprinkled down from the sky once again, landing on this mountain peak. All the beasts and birds were silent. Only a black dog raised its head and stared at the round moon that was getting fuller and fuller.
Suddenly, it opened its mouth and let out a mournful howl towards the bright moon in the sky!
"Woo …"
…
"Is there something wrong with your brain?"
In Kunwu City's Black Hill Pavilion, Old Ma angrily pointed at Lu Chen and scolded, "Do you think you're still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy? Don't you use your brain when you do things? How dare you say that to a True Sovereign? "
Lu Chen expressionlessly sat across from him. He just shook his head and didn't respond.
Old Ma looked at him and became angrier. He even seemed to be trembling with anger. He said, "I really don't understand what you're thinking now. Let's not talk about the past. I think even ten years ago, you were much smarter than you are now. You knew what to do and what to say. You knew when to keep your mouth shut and swallow those damn words until you die!" Old Ma was even more furious when he saw Zhou Donghuang's expression.
Lu Chen wiped his face and sighed. He said, "Can you speak properly? Your saliva sprayed on my face."
"Bah!" Old Ma said angrily, "I wish I could pour a basin of water on your head!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Well, I'm fine now, aren't I?"
Old Ma said coldly, "This is because True Sovereign cherishes old friendships. I've told you long ago that he treats you differently. In his heart, you're different from the others! Based on the nonsense you spouted and that damn corpse collection, believe it or not, anyone else would have killed you on the spot to avoid future troubles. "
Lu Chen slightly lowered his head. After a moment of silence, he said, "Do you really think so?"
"Yes!" Old Ma said flatly, "I know you're suspicious, but it's not your fault. You've been a shadow for so many years. Back then, in the Devil Cult, you were tense day and night and couldn't sleep at night. For more than ten years, you were tormented by life and death every day. To be honest, I admire you for not going crazy."
"But you can't be like this!" Old Ma became agitated. He suddenly walked up and grabbed Lu Chen's clothes, roared at him, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Chen, listen, you can doubt everyone in this world, and you can even doubt me, but you really can't doubt True Sovereign, do you understand?"
Lu Chen didn't resist Old Ma's action. He just frowned slightly, looked at Old Ma and said, "Why?"
Old Ma took a deep breath, as if to calm himself down, and then slowly let go of Lu Chen's clothes. His eyes gradually softened. After a moment, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "For so many years, he raised you, cultivated you, and everything you did was for him. If … if you really doubt him, then what is the first half of your life? "
"Nothing? Or a dream? "Old Ma stared at him and said softly.
Lu Chen was silent.
Old Ma paced back and forth a few steps in front of him, and then walked to the door. Looking at the deserted alley outside the house, he said, "And speaking of which, what need does True Sovereign have to harm you? What can you threaten him with?"
"In terms of strength, he is a Deity Stage True Sovereign. Compared to you, this kind of trash, the difference is like heaven and earth."
"In terms of reputation, his name shakes the world, you are unknown."
"In terms of secrets? What you helped him do was to deal with the Evil Sect. But his reputation of being the most effective in dealing with the Evil Sect has long been known by the world. So I really can't think of any reason why he would harm you, and why is it worth your suspicion? "
Lu Chen was silent for a long time. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "So you're saying, I was too suspicious and blamed him wrongly?"
"Yes." Old Ma nodded, then stared at Lu Chen, his expression solemn, and said, "Brother, listen to me, don't let your imagination run wild, don't go the wrong way. Just follow True Sovereign, and you will naturally have a bright future. "
…
That day, when he left the Black Hill Pavilion and walked out of that deep alley, the sun shone from behind him. Lu Chen saw the shadow on the ground in front of him.
He stopped, somewhat in a daze.
He took a step, and the shadow moved. He took a step, and the shadow moved again.
He looked to the side and found that there was a shady place under the high wall where the sun could not reach. He walked over and stood under the wall.
The sun could not shine on him.
He looked at his feet.
The shadow was gone.
Lu Chen looked silently. After a long time, he stepped forward and walked out of the alley.
…
Heavenly Soldier Hall of Kunlun Mountain.
When He Yi walked all the way, the Kunlun disciples along the way were very respectful to him. He had cultivated to the Jin Dan realm at a young age and was recognized as one of the most outstanding geniuses in the sect. Not to mention that he had a promising future, he was also nurtured and cared for by the head of the Heavenly Soldier Hall, Dukon Zhenren. Even the head of the sect, Immortal Idle Month, valued him very much.
Such a talent was really worthy of the four words "God's Favored One."
However, He Yi had never been arrogant. On the contrary, after he broke through to the Jin Dan realm, his temperament and self-restraint seemed to have gone up another level. He treated people with courtesy. Whether it was ordinary disciples or odd-job disciples, he treated them equally. The way he talked and handled things made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze. At the same time, he was even more respected. His reputation in the sect was rising day by day.
When Dukon Zhenren saw his favorite disciple walk in, he could not help but smile. No matter who it was, even if he was a famous Yuanying Zhenren for many years, to have such a satisfactory disciple was the most satisfying thing for him.
"Why did you come today? What's the matter?" Dukon Zhenren asked He Yi with a smile.
He Yi respectfully bowed to his master as usual before he spoke. Dao Master Dukong laughed and helped him up. Then, he said, "There are no outsiders here. So, you don't need to be so polite."
He Yi straightened his body, smiled and said, "It's what I should do." After speaking, he straightened his expression and said to Dukon Zhenren, "Master, I really have something that I need to report to you."
"En, say it."
He Yi took out a piece of cloth from his bosom and passed it to Dukon Zhenren. Dukon Zhenren unfolded it. It was a rubbing of a pattern. The pattern was twisted and complicated. It looked vaguely familiar. He could not help but was stunned. "What is this?"
He Yi said, "Ever since I caught that Evil Faction spy, disciple was inspired. I once again carefully investigated the first case of He Changsheng's murder. Finally by chance, I found this pattern."
Dukon Zhenren's spirit was roused. "What does this pattern mean? Do you know?"
He Yi said, "Disciple is very familiar with the Evil Faction's secret language. I can tell that the meaning of this secret pattern is, on the night of the full moon, we will meet at the same place."
Dukon Zhenren suddenly stood up. "Really?"
He Yi nodded and said, "That's true. And this secret pattern is much more brilliant than the one used by the Evil Faction spy. In addition to the reincarnation formation that appeared, it must be an important person from the Evil Faction lurking in our Kunlun Party! "
Dukon Zhenren beamed with joy. He patted He Yi's shoulder hard. "You are indeed my good disciple. You will have a great merit."
He Yi smiled. "Actually, disciple came here this time to report to Master. With my meager skills, I'm afraid I may not be able to accomplish such a big thing. Perhaps if we really have to capture this person, Master will have to do it yourself. Therefore, the one who deserves the greatest credit should be you, Master. "
Dukon Zhenren was shocked. "Me?"
He Yi nodded his head. "It has to be you!"
