There was a moment of silence in the hall. Daoist Master Qian Deng couldn't help but sneak a glance at True Lord Tian Lan. He saw that the tall and sturdy man on the main seat had a gentle smile on his face. He looked benevolent and kind as he stared at him.
After a moment, Daoist Master Qian Deng respectfully said, "I am not lying."
True Lord Tian Lan suddenly laughed and pointed at Daoist Master Qian Deng. He then turned to Zhuo Xian and said, "Look, Qian Deng is such a humble person. He really doesn't care about fame and fortune."
Zhuo Xian smiled and nodded. "That is true. I have always admired Senior Brother Qian Deng's noble character."
Daoist Master Qian Deng smiled and nodded at Zhuo Xian. His eyes also softened. At this time, True Lord Tian Lan said, "There are many complicated matters in the sect. I also have a lot of things to do in the Immortal Alliance, so it is better that you take this seat."
Daoist Master Qian Deng's heart relaxed, but his face still showed some fear and trepidation. He spoke for a while more before taking his leave.
Watching Daoist Master Qian Deng's departing figure, the smile on True Lord Tian Lan's face gradually faded. When the figure of the current acting sect master of the Kunlun Party disappeared from his sight, True Lord Tian Lan's face was already indifferent and calm.
It was quiet in the side hall. Zhuo Xian stood silently at the side, his eyes looking at his nose, his nose looking at his heart.
After an unknown amount of time, no one spoke in the hall. Zhuo Xian's body didn't move at all, but a faint trace of cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.
Just when the sudden cold atmosphere was about to suffocate everyone, Perfected Lord Tianlan, who was sitting on the main seat, broke the silence and said, "Xianyue is your senior brother. Aren't you going to see him?"
When Zhuo Xian heard this person's voice, he let out a breath with great difficulty. However, after hearing these words, his relaxed heart instantly tightened again. He didn't dare to have the slightest hesitation and said, "I didn't go to see him. Senior Brother Xian Yue didn't see the big picture and didn't judge people well. There have long been complaints in the sect. Now that he's in seclusion to recuperate, Martial Uncle is showing him mercy. I thank Martial Uncle on behalf of Senior Idle Month. "
Perfected Lord Tianlan's expression was indifferent, as though he didn't react to Zhuo Xian's flattery. Instead, after pondering for a moment, he suddenly thought of something and said to Zhuo Xian, "I remember that Senior Brother Bai Chen just took in a new final disciple a few days ago. She's a girl in her early teens and is extremely talented. Her name is White Lotus. Where is she now?"
Zhuo Xian's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly bowed and replied, "Reporting to Martial Uncle, Junior Sister is young and playful. On the night of the full moon, she went down the Winter Peak by herself. I haven't seen her since then."
Perfected Lord Tianlan frowned slightly before saying to Zhuo Xian, "Senior Brother Bai Chen has just passed away. How can his disciples not observe mourning in front of his coffin? Go find her and bring her back. Don't let Senior Brother's disciple wander outside the Kunlun Party. "
Zhuo Xian took a deep breath and felt his body turn slightly cold. However, he still replied respectfully, "Yes, I understand. I'll definitely bring her back."
Perfected Lord Tianlan turned his gaze and stared at Zhuo Xian for a moment before nodding. His expression eased up a little, as though he was about to say something. However, at that moment, there was a series of footsteps outside the side hall, followed by a clear voice.
"Disciple He Yi seeks an audience with Perfected Lord."
…
Perfected Lord Tianlan glanced outside the door before nodding at Zhuo Xian. Zhuo Xian bowed and retreated. After walking to the door, he saw He Yi standing a few feet away from the door, waiting patiently.
Zhuo Xian revealed a smile and nodded at He Yi. He Yi returned the smile and said, "Greetings, Uncle-Master Zhuo."
Zhuo Xian said, "Go in. Uncle-Master Tianlan is inside."
After saying that, the two of them brushed past each other.
He Yi took a deep breath, then strode forward and walked in with steady steps.
"Disciple He Yi greets Perfected Lord." He Yi's voice seemed to be particularly steady and powerful, echoing in this secluded hall.
Perfected Lord Tianlan glanced at him with a faint smile on his face. "You're here. Sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Perfected Lord." He Yi sat down next to him with a respectful expression.
Perfected Lord Tianlan said, "You did very well this time. I'm very satisfied."
He Yi hurriedly stood up to express his gratitude. However, his expression still seemed a little unnatural at this time, probably because he thought of what he had done.
Tianlan waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be so polite. After a moment of silence, He Yi took a step forward and said, "Perfected Lord, disciple came here today to report something to you. I've just come back from Kunwu City. Since last night, when we found many demons from the Devil Cult, our Kunlun disciples had a fierce battle with them. Now, it can be said that we have a complete victory. But … "
Speaking up to this point, he suddenly paused as if he was a little hesitant. Perfected Lord Tianlan glanced at him and said, "But what?"
He Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "But I heard that yesterday in Kunwu City, a demon from the Devil Cult with a strange black fire attacked the Su family and killed many people, including the beloved son of the Su family's master, Sumo. He also injured Junior Martial Sister Su Qingjun."
Perfected Lord Tianlan's expression was still indifferent. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. He just said calmly, "It seems that this demon isn't weak."
He Yi said, "That's right. After an investigation, it was found that he was a spy who sneaked into our Kunlun sect. He was a part-time disciple called Lu Chen."
Perfected Lord Tianlan's eyes flashed and he said, "This person is so cunning?"
He Yi nodded and said, "That's right. We chased after this person, but he is sinister and cunning. We don't know how he escaped from Kunwu City, but he also injured several of our disciples along the way. Now, according to the last news we received, he has probably escaped to the south."
"The south …" Perfected Lord Tianlan murmured. A moment later, he said, "Could it be that he escaped to the Disorienting Land?"
He Yi said, "That should be it. The Disorienting Land is the most chaotic place in the world. It's dangerous and unpredictable. Throughout history, there have been countless desperadoes and ferocious villains who have fled there when they have nowhere else to go. At the same time, there are also many remnants of the Devil Cult there. Presumably, that thief also went there. "
Perfected Lord Tianlan was silent for a moment and said, "I heard that there were many demons from the Devil Cult inside and outside Kunwu City last night. Why did you only pay attention to this person?"
He Yi said with emotion, "Perfected Lord, this person has been lurking in our Kunlun sect for a long time and has done countless evil deeds in secret. Now, he has even killed and injured our disciples, which can be said to be a heinous crime. Disciple is untalented, but I'm willing to personally go to the Disorienting Land to kill this person and take his life to comfort the souls of our fellow disciples who have sacrificed themselves. "
A sharp light flashed across Perfected Lord Tianlan's eyes. The light at that moment seemed especially dazzling and almost as sharp as a knife. However, He Yi just finished speaking and was lowering his head, so he didn't see this fleeting scene.
Perfected Lord Tianlan didn't speak right away. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said with a calm expression, "I didn't expect you to be so courageous. It's rare in the sect. But I have a feeling that you probably have something to say to me, right? "
Suddenly, He Yi bent his knees and knelt down in front of Perfected Lord Tian Lan. He kowtowed and said in a deep voice, "Perfected Lord, please forgive me. I, He Yi, have an audacious and presumptuous request. Please allow me to state it, Perfected Lord."
Perfected Lord Tianlan said indifferently, "Speak."
He Yi didn't raise his head and was still kneeling on the ground. With his head touching the cold ground, he said, "Disciple is speaking nonsense. I sincerely hope that Perfected Lord will be merciful and accept He Yi as your disciple."
…
Perfected Lord Tianlan's eyes narrowed slightly. After a while, he slowly stood up with his hands behind his back. He didn't reprimand He Yi who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, nor did he ask him to get up in a pleasant manner. He merely paced back and forth on the spot in silence.
He Yi's body didn't move at all. At this moment, no one knew what he was thinking. However, looking at how he was kneeling on the ground and prostrating himself, it seemed like he was ready to risk everything.
Perfected Lord Tianlan took another two steps and said indifferently, "You want me to accept you as my disciple?"
He Yi said in a deep voice, "That's right. Disciple knows that Perfected Lord has yet to accept a disciple and that He Yi doesn't have a teacher now … Disciple has admired and worshipped Perfected Lord for many years and has always hated that I can't serve Perfected Lord. Today, there might be a chance so disciple wants to come and plead with Perfected Lord no matter what. "
Perfected Lord Tianlan raised his eyes slightly but shifted his gaze from He Yi to the door of the hall. The darkness of the night was boundless as if the whole world was dark and shadows were everywhere.
He seemed to be in a trance. After a while, he said, "I am Perfected Lord, not everyone can be my disciple."
He Yi kowtowed a few times and said, "Yes. Disciple's talent and comprehension are considered to be above average in our sect. If Perfected Lord accepts me, I will definitely train hard day and night without slacking off or tarnish your reputation. Other than that, disciple is going to the Chaotic Land to hunt down the Evil Cult's spies because I want to show what I have learned to you. Although I don't dare to boast that I am invincible in the world, I will definitely not disappoint you. "
A glimmer flashed across Perfected Lord Tianlan's eyes. He then turned around and walked back to his seat. At the moment he turned around, there seemed to be a subtle self-deprecating smile on his face but it disappeared in a blink of an eye. He said, "So you are going to the Chaotic Land because of this?"
He Yi did not answer but kowtowed and said, "Please accept me, Perfected Lord. Disciple is infatuated and incomparably firm. If there is a chance in the future, disciple is even more willing to inherit the 'Tian' character Taoist title and inherit Perfected Lord's legacy. "
Perfected Lord Tianlan's footsteps suddenly stopped. He stood still for a moment and his voice suddenly became much deeper. He said, "You still want my 'Tian' character Taoist title?"
He Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Please grant me my wish, Perfected Lord!"
Perfected Lord Tianlan was silent for a long time with an indifferent expression as if no one could tell what he was thinking. After a long time, he suddenly waved his sleeves and walked out. When he passed by He Yi who was still kneeling on the ground, he said indifferently, "We will talk about this after you go to the Chaotic Land and kill that person."
