"There's something I must ask you," Lu Chen suddenly stopped and said to White Lotus, "If you don't make it clear, we can't stay together."
White Lotus glanced at him and said, "You look like you're interrogating a criminal, what is it? Although I have fought with you a few times, but until now I have not really let you down. I am just a little girl, you are a man, what are you afraid of, I really don't understand. "
Saying that, she shook her head repeatedly, looking as if she did not agree.
Lu Chen was not moved at all, he did not pay attention to her changing the topic, only stared at her and said, "On the night of the full moon, why did you go to that forest?"
White Lotus snorted and said, "I was bored, so I went to play, why? Can't I? "
Lu Chen indifferently said, "There was such a heavy storm, why did you go to that dark forest to play?"
White Lotus's mouth twitched, but she turned her head and said, "None of your business."
Lu Chen did not ask further, turned and walked away, said, "It doesn't matter if I don't care, but you don't need to follow."
White Lotus looked back and saw Lu Chen and Atsu had really left on their own, neat and tidy, without the slightest bit of sloppiness. She could not help but be angered, her figure flashed and floated in front of them, stretched out her hand to block Lu Chen's way, angrily said, "I just want to follow you! What do you want? How can you be so petty, at least when the Evil Faction tried to assassinate you, I helped you to hold back a few killers, why are you so quick to turn your back on me? "
"If you didn't help me in front of the Evil Faction killers, I wouldn't even ask you these questions." Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm petty, it's that the identity of the people who went to that forest that night is not a small matter, I must find out. If you don't tell me, then I can't go with you. If you insist on following me, then I can only fight with you, and then both of us will be injured and go our separate ways. That's it. "
White Lotus was stunned for a moment. She still didn't quite understand, but she saw that Lu Chen's expression was unusually firm. He didn't seem to be joking, nor did he show any signs of relenting. The expression on her face fluctuated. After a while, she said, "Alright, I'm here to look for you."
Lu Chen's gaze suddenly turned cold as he looked at White Lotus and said coldly, "You are from the Three Realms Demon Sect?"
"What? Of course not!" White Lotus cried out, looking angry and aggrieved. "No matter what, I'm a Five Pillar Genius who was accepted by a Soul Formation Perfected Lord, alright? I'm not a fool to join a fiend cult for no reason!"
Lu Chen stared at her for a moment. Then, he slowly nodded. His expression softened a little. "What you said makes sense." Then, he seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly smiled bitterly and said in a low voice, "But to be honest, there are actually those kinds of fools …"
"What?" White Lotus didn't hear clearly and asked.
"Oh, nothing." Lu Chen waved his hand. Then, he sternly asked, "Why did you look for me that night? Also, how did you know that I was in that forest and find me? "
Speaking up to here, Lu Chen's expression turned serious. These days, he had been repeatedly recalling the process of that full moon night. Other than Perfected Lord Tian Lan going back on his words and not going outside, what surprised and puzzled him the most was the sudden appearance of White Lotus.
This little girl seemed to be filled with countless secrets, making it hard for people to see her true face.
White Lotus looked a little reluctant. It seemed that she didn't want to say it, but under Lu Chen's determined gaze, she finally shrugged and said, "I can feel your position."
Lu Chen's body shook. A trace of astonishment flashed across his face. He said, "My position? Are you sure? Haven't you always been interested in Ah-Tu? I had already believed that you were probably able to sense the location of this stupid dog because of the secret of blood feeding, this kind of messy southern barbarian sorcery. "
"Roar!" Ah-Tu roared from the side and bared his teeth. His expression was ferocious as he looked at White Lotus with an unfriendly gaze.
White Lotus was angry. She spat at the guy who looked like a giant wolf and scolded, "It's Lu Chen who scolded you. What are you yelling at me for? Are you bullying the weak and afraid of the strong?"
Atsu wagged its tail and leaned against Lu Chen. It seemed to be saying, "Don't try to drive a wedge between us, woman."
White Lotus shook her head. She was too lazy to care about the strange black dog. She said to Lu Chen seriously, "Now that things have come to this, it seems that I can only tell you the truth. In fact, what I can feel is not this stupid dog, but your position. You have the breath of the branch of the Tree of God on you, and it always resonates with my pendant. "
As she said, she reached into her chest and turned over her clothes. She took out a pendant. It was the branch of the Tree of God that Lu Chen had seen that day.
Lu Chen's expression changed slightly.
After White Lotus said those words, she kept staring at Lu Chen's expression. At the same time, she stared at him, waiting for him to speak.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen just frowned and did not speak for a long time. She could not see anything and felt a little unhappy. He said, "This branch of the Tree of God is definitely a rare treasure in this world. It's one of a kind, so I want to know why you have the breath of the branch of the Tree of God on you."
Lu Chen was speechless. At this time, he of course understood. As for why he had the breath of the branch of the Tree of God on him, the answer was also obvious. It was naturally the mysterious tree hole that accidentally brought the unconscious White Lotus into the seed. As a result, the ancient tree hole absorbed abundant spiritual power from the branch of the Tree of God and changed. The most obvious and most mysterious change was that, on the tree wall that was covered by the green mist in the tree hole, the shape of two doorways appeared.
The Tree of God was a holy object that was worshipped and revered by the Three Realms Divine Sect. When Lu Chen first sneaked into the Devil Sect, he did not really believe in this thing. However, later on, he found out that the legendary "one branch, two leaves, one seed" really existed. Moreover, by chance, he also secretly obtained the most important seed.
The seed of the Tree of God and the branch of the Tree of God came from the same source. If something magical happened between the two of them, it would not be too strange. However, from then on, White Lotus could suddenly feel his own position. This was a very troublesome thing.
While he was calculating, White Lotus asked, "I've been thinking about it for a long time. I didn't feel anything like this when I first saw you. It was only after I fainted that you started to have this aura."
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat. He could not help but look at White Lotus. He thought to himself, this little girl looks young, but her mind is really exquisite, crystal clear, and extremely smart. It is as if she has a telepathic connection with me and thought of the same thing at once.
White Lotus looked at Lu Chen and snorted coldly. "Did you do something when I was unconscious? That's why the power of the branch of the Tree of God was a little difficult to control after I woke up. "
"There's no such thing!" Lu Chen shook his head very straightforwardly and lied to the girl without blushing. Then he said, "Could it be that you found something wrong with the branch of the Tree of God?"
White Lotus gritted her teeth and looked a little distressed. "That's the problem. The treasure itself didn't seem to have any problems. But why did you suddenly have this kind of breath? "
Lu Chen relaxed and laughed. "Maybe it's because you used the power of the Tree of God to attack me that day. After I was injured, I got a little smell. You can't blame me for this. "
White Lotus looked doubtful and looked at Lu Chen suspiciously. She probably felt that this man's words couldn't be completely trusted. But at the moment, she couldn't say anything. After all, there was nothing wrong with the branch of the Tree of God.
Lu Chen put down the stone in his heart and felt much more relaxed. He turned around and continued to walk forward. At the same time, he said to White Lotus, "Then according to what you said, you were able to find me in this Disorienting Lands because of the breath of the branch of the Tree of God?"
White Lotus said, "Yes. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to catch up to you. You're as cunning as a loach. If I were someone else, I probably wouldn't have been able to catch up to you."
Lu Chen chuckled. His face was expressionless, but at the same time, he snorted in his heart.
That's right. Logically speaking, he should have shaken off his pursuers. Why were they able to catch up to him?
…
"Several of our hall's most powerful experts who specialize in tracking have already entered the Disorienting Lands. No matter how Hei Lang tries to evade, he shouldn't be able to escape from their pursuit."
At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, in Kunwu City, inside the Black Hill Pavilion in a secluded alley, Old Ma expressionlessly leaned against the wall of the Hand Wrapping Corridor. He looked at the two people in the courtyard. One was a bald fatty with an unusually tall and sturdy figure. Even though he was just sitting, he seemed taller than the charming and beautiful woman standing in front of him.
When Old Ma's gaze fell on the woman again, there was a trace of deeply concealed fear in his eyes.
She was Xue Ying, the leader of Zhenxianmeng Fuyunji. She had been in this position for ten years. Once, he and Lu Chen could be considered as people who lived under her protection and lived in seclusion to avoid calamity. At this moment, when she said these words to True Lord Tianlan, her expression was calm. It was as if she was talking about an ordinary matter that had nothing to do with her.
There was no joy or anger on True Lord Tianlan's face. There was only calmness. After a while, True Lord Tianlan suddenly shook his head and said, "Not necessarily."
Xue Ying was a little surprised. She raised her head and looked at True Lord Tianlan. She frowned and said, "But, isn't Hei Lang almost a cripple?"
True Lord Tianlan closed his eyes and didn't say anything.
Xue Ying waited for a while and didn't dwell on this issue. She said, "I came here this time to ask you to tell me how we should treat Hei Lang in the future."
At this moment, Old Ma, who was standing to the side, unconsciously straightened his body. His gaze also quietly fell on True Lord Tianlan's face.
There was a moment of silence in the courtyard.
Xue Ying slowly asked, word by word, "Should we release him or kill him?"
