Lu Chen dreamed, dreamed of the damn baldy.
He had not dreamed for a long time, because for many years his body had developed a habit of being as tense as a bowstring all the time, even when he fell asleep in the dead of night, he slept very lightly. Once there was any danger, or a foreign object approaching, he could almost instantly wake up, and then let himself enter a life-threatening state from the most relaxed state in the blink of an eye.
However, this was not a pleasant habit, it was just a painful instinct that Lu Chen had honed in order to survive when he was lurking inside the Evil Sect. Just that the days passed slowly, he also slowly got used to it.
Until this night, he had a dream, in the dream he saw the Lord Tian Lan who he often called the damn baldy.
From a very young age, he was adopted by this unusually tall and burly man. He gave the young Lu Chen the harshest training in the world, groomed him into an almost perfect shadow, and then put him into the world's most dangerous and most terrifying Evil Sect, in the midst of countless ferocious Evil Sect demons, let him little by little get closer to the ultimate goal.
That matter, was so unimaginable that no one believed it, and it was also so difficult that it was unimaginable. In those years, it was unknown how many innocent people died in the hands of the Evil Faction, the dripping blood seemed to be able to gather into a river now. During this period of time, the Black Wolf from all those years ago had always been watching coldly from the sidelines. He didn't lend a hand and just watched coldly from the sidelines. His nerves seemed to have been tempered into ice a long time ago, and they wouldn't change even after a myriad of years. He was cold to the extreme.
Until the last moment, in that desolate valley, in the sky full of fire and the brilliant God Subduing Spell formation, he completed his mission.
That light was so dazzling and brilliant that the shadow disappeared in the blink of an eye. His life also seemed to be like this, after a sudden flash of light, it immediately returned to darkness, and then silently hid in the shadows.
Such a life, if you look back, what will you remember?
Blood, killing, sorrow, regret?
Cruelty, anger, betrayal, suspicion?
No, in this rare dream night, in that dream that he had not had for a long time, he did not see these things that had haunted him his whole life, things that he could not get rid of.
What he saw was that bald man. What he remembered was that man pulling a young boy up from the dirty corner of the trash, staring at him, and then revealing a trace of a smile. He still remembered that day. That damn baldy's eyes were so bright and clear that they surpassed all the brilliance in the world. He also remembered that damn baldy's hand had reached out to help him wipe off the dirt and tidy up his clothes … It turned out that after so many years, he still remembered the warmth of that big hand.
That hand held the youth's small hand, and just like that, they left, walking into the distance.
The detestable and despairing dark corner behind him was getting further and further away. From then on, no matter how dangerous or despairing the years were, he did not have a shred of regret.
That day, he clearly saw his own joyful smile in the damned baldy's eyes.
That joy, he would remember for the rest of his life, even if there was another shadow in front of him.
When he left that day, that damn baldy also seemed to be smiling …
Then he woke up.
When he regained his full consciousness, in the shadows of the darkness, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. There was a hint of hope and expectation that he had never shown before in front of others. He was just like the youth he used to be.
Until a moment later, he opened his eyes, and saw the darkness.
He was silent in the darkness, and his smile slowly disappeared.
He lowered his head slightly, and thought to himself, "What's going on today?" Then he looked towards the north, and thought, "Those people I know, what are they like now?"
…
"Priest Lu Chen's power is about to be established, it is not easy to topple him now."
In the stone house that was still lit in the middle of the night, the Black Fire tribe leader Huo Yan and his three most trusted subordinates had not dispersed yet, and were still sitting around talking.
The one who spoke at this time was Huo Yan. His face was solemn, and his gaze was fixed on the small fire in front of him. He said in a heavy tone, "Even if what you say makes sense, even if I believe the many threats you have said, but you are not his match, so what?"
White Condor, who was sitting on his left, thought for a moment, and leaned forward a little, saying, "Although the priest's witchcraft is powerful, but his physical body has always been slightly weaker. As long as we can trick him here, one, he will leave those Black Fire Guards, two, we might have a chance to kill him suddenly … "
Before he finished, Huo Yan shook his head, saying, "This won't do, once we fail, the whole situation will be ruined. Also, Lu Chen is careful and cautious, once he discovers this, the consequences will be unimaginable. This method can only be used at the last moment, when there is no other way. "
At this time, Tie Xiong suddenly spoke, "Tribe leader, there is something I have never dared to ask you, but since we have talked about it today …"
Huo Yan interrupted him, saying, "Speak."
Iron Bear hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's about the black flame runes on our bodies. The great Fire God bestowed great power upon us, but I heard that Priest Lu Chen also uses these runes to control the Blackfire Guards. It's said that he can control the life and death of the Blackfire Guards with a single thought …"
Huo Yan's face darkened.
Tie Xiong clenched his teeth and continued, "Although the Black Flame runes that our Black Fire Tribe warriors get are different from those of the Black Fire Guards, and the most obvious difference is that the runes are engraved on our heads and on their chests, but … Chief, is there really no danger?"
The gazes of the three fell on Huo Yan for a moment.
Huo Yan was silent for a moment, saying, "I have actually asked Lu Chen about this in private, and Lu Chen's answer was that there is no problem with the runes on our Black Fire Tribe's side, and there is no danger like you said."
Tie Xiong, Black Bull, and White Condor looked at each other. After a while, White Condor couldn't help but ask, "Can his words be trusted?"
This time, Huo Yan was silent for a long time, then suddenly sighed, saying, "I don't know."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other three turned ugly.
White Condor immediately said in a low voice, "If that is the case, then we have to get rid of this person. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, our Black Fire Tribe will be destroyed."
Huo Yan lifted his gaze and looked at the three, suddenly saying, "Do you think that I was wrong to invite Lu Chen back?"
The three of them were stunned for a moment. After a while, Tie Xiong smiled bitterly and said, "How can I say that clearly? If it weren't for the priest, our Black Fire Tribe wouldn't have been able to unify this land in such a short time."
The few looked at each other, speechless, and discussed here and there for a long time. They thought of many plots and schemes, but they were all rejected one by one. In the end, they were all at a loss.
However, at this time, perhaps this situation made them more aware of the danger that Lu Chen was in, and the murderous intent on their faces became even more intense.
Only Huo Yan seemed to be a little calmer. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly sighed, saying, "Actually, there is still one last way."
"What?"
"Let him go."
Huo Yan said, "He has always wanted to leave this wasteland and return to the north. As long as I tell him that secret, maybe he really will leave without caring about anything else."
The expressions of the other three instantly changed. Clearly, they were quite tempted, but very quickly, White Eagle frowned again. He looked at Huo Yan and said softly, "If that's the case, what should we do with so many Black Fire Guardians?"
"Also, our tribe can only have what we have today because of the power of witchcraft. If he leaves, the tribe will not have a priest, then what should we do …" Tie Xiong and Hei Niu also said.
Huo Yan snorted and couldn't help but glance at them, saying, "Now you know to talk about the priest, then why did you want to kill him just now?"
The two barbarian warriors immediately smiled awkwardly, but Huo Yan didn't seem to have any intention to pursue the matter. Instead, he quickly fell into deep thought, and after a while, he suddenly stood up and walked out.
The three were shocked, saying, "Chief, where are you going?"
Without turning his head, Huo Yan said, "I thought of a way, maybe I need to have a good chat with our priest Lu Chen."
White Condor and the other two looked at each other and didn't say anything, but each had a serious expression.
The night was about to pass, and the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon.
