Lu Chen left the dense forest, feeling a little tired. No matter who it was, even if he was once a top-notch shadow in the Dark World, had experienced the harshest environments and encounters, and had practiced some strange techniques that ordinary people could not imagine, as long as he was human, hiding in the dark soil for two days would not be an easy thing to do.
At this time, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the night suddenly became clear. Lu Chen's clothes were very dirty because of the things that happened in the dense forest, and it was even more obvious under the moonlight. However, this was not a difficult thing for him. In a remote corner not far from the forest, he took out the new clothes that he had prepared earlier and put them on. He looked like a new person, and even his complexion looked much better.
Then, he walked into the distance, his eyes occasionally looking in the direction of the sky and clouds in the depths of Kunlun Mountain. The huge pillar of light that shot into the sky was too shocking, and there was nothing that could block it anymore.
Looking at the spectacular scene of the huge Winter Peak collapsing and being engulfed by the huge smoke and dust, Lu Chen was also silently shocked.
But very soon, his eyes once again fell on the top of the huge pillar of light that shot into the sky, piercing the clouds and changing the color of the sky. There was almost a black vortex that appeared faintly. For some reason, his heart suddenly trembled.
This scene was very similar to the final scene of the God Subduing Spell that the Devil Cult of the Three Realms had summoned at the end of the battle in the Barren Valley.
Of course, at this time, although the sky was changing, there was no strange miraculous power like in the past, not to mention the terrifying eye that was hidden in the darkness like a demon.
After walking for a while, Lu Chen saw many Kunlun disciples running out. In fact, according to the time, it was already late at night, and it was already the time of the Kunlun Party's curfew. But what happened tonight was too big, and it was impossible for people to just sit in their rooms.
More and more people appeared, and more people began to run in the direction of the Winter Peak. In the same direction, not only was the mysterious forbidden land in the sky and clouds, but also the main peak of the Kunlun Party, Tiankun Peak and Zhengyang Hall, were also there.
It seemed that everyone was a little out of their wits and wanted to seek guidance from the elders in the sect.
"Is it because such a big thing happened that the damn baldy didn't come?" Lu Chen pondered in his heart, but at this moment, his heart was filled with doubts. He really did not know who to trust.
How many people do you really trust in this world? The kind of friend that he could completely trust, that he would never betray him?
The night breeze was slightly chilly, caressing his face. Lu Chen's footsteps suddenly came to a halt. After a while, he sighed softly, a complicated expression on his face. It was also at this moment that the figure of a young girl suddenly appeared in his mind. It was Yi Xin. Her smiling face seemed to be the most heartwarming thing in this cold world.
Lu Chen smiled for no reason, and actually felt a little better. He raised his head again to look at the bright moon. The moonlight was bright, and at this moment, the night was actually somewhat bright and beautiful.
For some reason, he felt a little tired of the place where the crowd was running to, but he remembered how Yi Xin looked when she said she would come to find him a few days ago. Her smile seemed to have never been so clear in his heart. Lu Chen turned around and then said to himself in a low voice, "Forget it, let's go see that silly girl."
…
The location of the Fragrance Garden Tea Room and the guest room happened to be in the opposite direction of the sky and clouds, as well as Tiankun Peak and other important places. When Lu Chen turned around and walked in that direction, he encountered many Kunlun disciples on the road.
He was traveling in the opposite direction alone. Of course, he appeared to be out of the ordinary. However, it was currently night time and such a shocking event had happened. Almost all of the Kunlun disciples were in a state of panic. Hence, no one would pay attention to such an inconspicuous, ordinary character.
In addition, along the way, Lu Chen tried to walk in the shadows of the roadside. Many people didn't even notice him and ran past him. Lu Chen secretly observed many people and found that many of them seemed to have gone to Tiankun Peak's Zhengyang Hall to participate in the day's meeting. On their way back at night, such a big event suddenly happened, so they turned back one after another and rushed towards the collapsed mountain peak.
"What happened?"
"What happened to Dongfeng Peak?"
"Could it be that there are foreign enemies invading?"
"Is there another big earthquake in the mountain?"
Along the way, Lu Chen didn't know how many questions like these were heard. Obviously, most of the Kunlun disciples still didn't know what had happened.
After walking for about half of the journey, the front suddenly became empty. It seemed that most of the people had already rushed over, leaving only the dark houses and pavilions in front of him in silence in the night.
Lu Chen remembered that Yi Xin told him that she often stayed here these days because her master, Dongfang Tao, often came here to drink tea and chat with Melaleuca Japonica. It seemed that the two of them had an unusually deep friendship. But now, Lu Chen was only worried that Yi Xin was silly. Although it was very lively in the sky, she also ran over to watch the fun.
It didn't matter if he couldn't find Yi Xin tonight, but he had a faint feeling that the damn baldy was very likely to be there at this moment.
In this world, the person that Lu Chen couldn't see through the most and was most afraid of was the damn baldy who had raised him since he was young. No one understood that person's strength better than him, and no one knew better than him how ruthless that person could be when he really hardened his heart.
Of course, it was unlikely that a peerless person like the damn baldy would care about a little girl like Yi Xin. However, the slightest ripple on the side of a True Lord might be a monstrous wave to an ordinary person.
Lu Chen didn't want Yi Xin to be in any danger, so he still went over.
When he walked near the Fragrance Garden Tea House, he saw that the house was pitch-black without any lights. It didn't seem like anyone was still staying inside. Presumably, the people who were originally here were either already asleep, or they had been alarmed by the strange changes on Winter Peak and had all run out.
"Could it be that they really sneaked over to watch the fun?" Lu Chen frowned. Just as he was thinking about whether he should go back to Tian Kun Peak again, he suddenly heard a burst of footsteps from the side.
Lu Chen turned his head to look, only to see that from the direction of the row of guest rooms on the other side of the tea house, in the same dark place, a figure suddenly ran out. His footsteps were a little unsteady, but his speed was very fast.
With the help of the bright moonlight that night, Lu Chen clearly saw that person's face and was suddenly startled. He saw that this person was actually Sumo, but his expression seemed to be very strange. The muscles on his face were constantly twisting and twitching, and his eyes were also strangely red and white. At the same time, there were all kinds of expressions of fear and dread on his face, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, and he couldn't stop gasping for breath.
When he ran out, Sumo seemed to also see Lu Chen standing alone on the other side. His footsteps slightly paused, and a trace of murderous intent floated in his eyes.
Lu Chen's face darkened. He had been displeased with this Young Master Sumo for a long time. If it wasn't for that woman, Su Qingjun, he was afraid that he would have already made a move on Sumo.
But in reality, even with Su Qingjun around, Lu Chen didn't really intend to completely let bygones be bygones with Sumo. He had asked Old Ma to privately inquire about the daily whereabouts of the Su family just to vent his anger.
So in this cold and cheerless night, when there was no one around, when Sumo seemed to show hostility towards him, not only did Lu Chen not shrink back in fear, but his eyes lit up and he suddenly took a step forward.
But just when he was about to move, Sumo seemed to suddenly feel Lu Chen's murderous intent. This time, he suddenly became terrified, and with a strange cry, he actually turned around and ran.
Lu Chen was stunned. He didn't think that this guy would actually run away so straightforwardly. He didn't even care about the face of an aristocratic family's disciple. If it was in the past, it seemed that Sumo wouldn't do such a thing.
There was some doubt in his heart, but Lu Chen quickly frowned. After Sumo ran past, he smelled a faint smell of blood. His gaze focused, and he looked at Sumo's back. He saw that there was indeed a bloodstain on the man's right hand.
… …
Sumo quickly ran far away. Moreover, looking at the direction he ran in, he didn't go to Heavenly Kun Peak or that lively place in the sky. Instead, he ran in the direction of going down the mountain.
Could it be that this eccentric Su family's Eldest Young Master is actually going back to his home in Kunwu City in the middle of the night?
Lu Chen shook his head. After pondering for a moment, he finally gave up on the idea of tracking this person. Tonight was full of unusual phenomena, and a great change had taken place. There was no need to be anxious about such a small matter, so it was better not to complicate things. In the future, there would always be time to slowly find trouble with this guy.
He turned around, ready to leave this place. Since Yi Xin wasn't here, presumably, she also went to the sky in the sky to watch the fun. Needless to say, this kind of thing was indeed in line with Yi Xin's temperament. Lu Chen could even imagine the very excited and impatient look on Yi Xin's face when she called her friends. It was a little cute, but also a little stupid.
He smiled and walked forward. The sound of his footsteps moving forward in the dark night fell in this bleak courtyard.
The ground was still wet, and there were many drops of water dripping down. It was probably the result of the heavy downpour not long ago. He stepped over a puddle of water, and his body suddenly stopped.
In the darkness, there was a cold night wind blowing.
A faint smell of blood drifted along with the wind. Lu Chen turned around. His gaze was a little cold as he glanced around. Then, he slowly looked at the dark room on the other side of the guest room.
There were several deep winding corridors and many dripping eaves.
He silently stood where he was for a moment, and then he walked over.
The moonlight shone on his body, elongating a dark shadow.
