"What's wrong?" Old Ma was taken aback. A look of surprise appeared on his face as he asked, "What happened at the Floating Clouds Company?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan snorted coldly. "Xue Ying sent a message saying that after she returned to the immortal city, the people who went to the Land of Chaos have yet to return."
Old Ma shuddered. "I remember that when Xue Ying came that day, she was here. You personally told her to bring everyone back."
Perfected Lord Tian Lan did not speak and only looked at him indifferently. Old Ma suddenly felt a chill in his heart. "You're suspicious of Xue Ying?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, "Not really. She's been doing well all these years and has not made any mistakes. However, this concerns Lu Chen's life and death. I believe you're the only one who wouldn't lie to me about this. "
Old Ma nodded silently. However, a hint of worry quickly appeared on his face. "If those people don't return from the Land of Chaos …"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan said coldly, "Xue Ying sent those people over to track and monitor Lu Chen. If they don't return, there are only two reasons. One, something happened to those people and they were all wiped out. Two, the order they received was not to return to the city but to hunt down Lu Chen."
He looked up at Old Ma and said indifferently, "Go to the immortal city and investigate this matter in Fuyunji with my token. No matter what the reason is, whether it's not returning to the city or hunting down Lu Chen, they've disobeyed my orders. Since they dared to do this, someone has to bear the responsibility. "
With that, he casually waved his hand, and a round object flew over. Old Ma stretched out his hands to catch it. He looked at it carefully and saw that it was a white jade plate with two sides. The front side was engraved with the words "Tian Lan" and the back side was a picture of the rising sun decorated with cloud bat patterns.
Old Ma took a deep breath and held the white jade token tightly in his hand. Then, he bowed to Perfected Lord Tian Lan and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely do this well."
Perfected Lord Tianlan nodded silently. After a while, he suddenly looked up at the sky with a complicated and slightly bleak expression on his face. He said, "Although that kid and I are not master and disciple, and he often speaks disrespectfully to me, no one can kill him without my permission."
A trace of excitement flashed across the depths of Old Ma's eyes. He bowed and said, "Yes, I understand."
"Go ahead." Perfected Lord Tianlan waved his hand and closed his eyes.
…
"Who sent me here to kill you? Is it important?" He Yi held the sword that was dripping with blood and stood a few feet away from the seriously injured Lu Chen. He looked at this enemy with interest and said, "What I'm curious about is why you suddenly asked such a question?"
He smiled and gestured to the sky with his hand. Then, he said calmly, "The Perfected Lord Tianlan we're talking about is a person of virtue and prestige. He's famous in the world. He's like an immortal. Not to mention a lowly Devil Cult evildoer like you, even a Jindan Stage cultivator like me, who is regarded as a genius by others, may not be worthy of his attention. But when you said that, "He Yi's gaze fell on Lu Chen's face." When you said that just now, it seemed like it was natural that Perfected Lord Tianlan would come to deal with you. Isn't that strange? "
Lu Chen covered his wound with his hand and frowned. It was unknown whether it was because of the sharp pain or because he had lost too much blood, but he shut his mouth and did not speak anymore.
"So, I'm very curious. What kind of person are you?" He Yi looked at him and said, "An ordinary devil sect spy should not have any relationship with a Perfected Lord Tianlan. Furthermore, I discovered another strange thing along the way. There were actually people from the Floating Clouds Agency chasing after you. It would appear that your background is much greater than I had imagined. "
Lu Chen coughed painfully. He looked at He Yi and suddenly smiled. "Trying to get information from me?"
He Yi shrugged his shoulders. "I think we're both smart people. There's no need to talk nonsense. Tell me clearly and I'll give you a quick death. Isn't that convenient for both of us?"
Lu Chen sneered. "Since you've been following behind, you must have seen what happened to Fuyunji people. At that kind of critical moment, you're a righteous disciple. Why didn't you go and save them?"
He Yi's expression changed slightly. He shook his head and said, "I did see it. But my ability is limited. I can't save them. Besides, Fuyunji people are still hiding behind them. They're still hiding and not going to save them. Why should I be a busybody. "
Lu Chen was surprised. "There are still people alive in Fuyunji?"
He Yi thought for a moment. "There's one or two people. They didn't even enter the village. Of course they're fine." As he spoke, he waved his hand, looking like he did not want to continue this topic. He said, "But this has nothing to do with me. What I am most interested in is that a few days ago in the Snake Overgrown Forest, these Floating Clouds Division people had clearly caught up to you, the Evil Cult spy, but in the end, not only did they not swarm you, they even hid their heads and tails and pretended to be Evil Cult killers to kill you?"
"These things are getting weirder and weirder. I'm more and more curious about your identity. How about it? Tell me?"
He Yi smiled at Lu Chen. The long sword in his hand stretched out towards him.
It was also at this moment that Lu Chen's gaze, which had been staring at He Yi, suddenly flashed with a hint of mockery. He said, "After talking for so long, I think I understand."
He Yi didn't like the look in Lu Chen's eyes at the moment, but his self-restraint and patience were far better than that of ordinary people. It was precisely this kind of temperament that allowed him to keep climbing up in the Kunlun Sect, from an ordinary disciple with no background to the position where he was about to make a name for himself today.
Only one last step left.
As long as he could get that Tian Lan true lord's appreciation, as long as he could become his disciple and obtain the Tian character Taoist title, his future path would be a broad and broad path to immortality. Looking at the world, who could be compared with him?
Therefore, He Yi was exceptionally patient. Even more patient than usual. Anyway this Lu Chen was already seriously injured and had almost no strength to fight back. What was there for him to be afraid of?
"What did you understand?" He Yi smiled and said. Then that sword stretched forward a few inches. The blade flashed with cold light. This time it was aimed at Lu Chen's throat.
As long as he thrust forward, Lu Chen would die here and now.
Lu Chen, on the other hand, had a calm expression on his face. He looked at He Yi with a smile and asked, "How is your younger brother now?"
He Yi's body suddenly shook. His eyes suddenly burst with light. But at this moment when he was distracted, he suddenly saw Lu Chen raise his palm slightly. A strange black fog suddenly floated up. He Yi's eyes were suddenly filled with darkness. There was no longer any light.
