White Lotus stared at the entrance of the tunnel under the blossoming peach tree for a while, her expression fluctuating, but the initial anger had completely disappeared, leaving behind only a pondering expression.
After a while, she suddenly straightened her expression, as if she had made up her mind, she strode towards the entrance.
Just that, when she reached the entrance, she suddenly heard a burst of footsteps below, a moment later, Lu Chen's figure walked out from the darkness, following the stone steps to the ground.
A breeze blew, white petals with a tinge of pink floated down from the tree, landing on their shoulders and lapels.
They looked at each other, Lu Chen was the first to speak, "I thought you had already left."
White Lotus looked at his eyes, the corner of her eyes swept over the black hole on the ground, after a moment of silence, she asked, "Why did you take so long to come up?"
"The road was too dark, not easy to walk."
White Lotus glanced at his palm, said, "Where is your torch?"
"Oh, I burned it halfway and suddenly ran out of fire, so I had to throw it down there." Lu Chen said.
The corner of White Lotus's mouth slightly twitched, but she did not say anything more, after a while, she turned around, silently walked to the main door, opened the door and walked out.
…
"What we are doing now, do you really understand in your heart?"
Deep in the alley of Xi Ma Qiao, Old Ma and Lu Chen sat on the grass in the courtyard, looking at the already dark sky, behind the faint dark clouds were even more twinkling stars, and then suddenly asked Lu Chen this question.
It was rare that Atsu did not eat meat in big mouthfuls, nor did it sleep soundly, only quietly lying beside Lu Chen, probably it also felt that this was a rare time to spend with Lu Chen, at least for the past few days.
Lu Chen used his hand to gently stroke the fur on top of Atsu's head, faintly said, "Of course I know. Even though I didn't like that damn baldy, we were still on the same page when it came to dealing with the Devil Cult. He came up with a plan, and I thought it might work, so I helped him do it. "
Old Ma glanced at him, sighed, and said nothing.
Lu Chen's hand moved from Atsu's head to its stomach. After the familiar warm feeling, he felt that Atsu seemed to have grown fatter than before. It was no wonder. He ate, drank, and slept like a pig every day. No matter what, he would become fat. He patted Atsu's stomach lightly and said, "He said that to destroy the source of belief of the Devil Cult, the first thing we have to do is to find the few divine objects in their hands. Some of the divine objects must be in the Immortal City. So, what we have to do now is to find those rats hiding in the dark corners of this city, right?"
Old Ma frowned and said, "But we found a few people, and none of them seemed to have anything to do with the Devil Cult."
Lu Chen shook his hand and said, "That's not right."
"What do you mean?"
"It's not that they have nothing to do with the Devil Cult, it's that we haven't found any evidence of them having anything to do with the Devil Cult. Among these people, some of their whereabouts are unknown, and some of them were killed before we could find them. We still don't know what secrets they have behind them. " After a pause, Lu Chen glanced at Old Ma and said, "Did you go to Fuyunji to ask about this?"
Old Ma nodded and said, "I've talked to Hall Master Xue Ying. She admitted that she was the one who submitted the list to Supreme Tian Lan, but she also said that there are no traitors among her subordinates. At least, most of them are loyal and reliable people. However, she will investigate this matter in private."
Speaking of this, Old Ma hesitated and said, "Why don't you ask him the next time you see him?"
"It's no use." Lu Chen said straightforwardly, "What kind of person is that damn baldy? He has so many big and small things in his hands all day long. It's impossible for him to check this list one by one. At most, he will ask his subordinates to do it. It's almost the same as asking us to do things for him. But in Fuyunji, someone must have leaked the secret. "
Old Ma snorted as if he had already expected this. He said, "We've already talked about this a few years ago. The True Immortal Alliance's halls are like sieves now. They're leaking like crazy. I thought it would be better in Fuyunji, but now it looks like it's almost the same. "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Anyway, we still have to do what we have to do. Since Rui Xiaotian ran away and we can't find him, let's continue to look for the people behind him."
Old Ma nodded. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "By the way, I got some information about the woman you asked me to investigate the other day."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is she? What's her background?"
Old Ma said, "There is indeed a woman named Song Wenji in the Heavenly Law Hall of the Immortal Allies. She has a powerful background. She is the adopted daughter of the highly respected Immortal Tiehu."
Lu Chen was stunned and said, "The adopted daughter of Immortal Tiehu?"
Old Ma nodded and said, "Yes. Because Immortal Tiehu has no children, he values his only adopted daughter very much and tries to cultivate her. It can be said that she is one of the most popular young people in the Heavenly Law Hall. "
Lu Chen thought for a moment and suddenly laughed. He said, "It seems that Immortal Tiehu doesn't like that damn baldy."
Old Ma also smiled and said, "That's true. That lord has indeed disliked us for many years."
Lu Chen waved his hand and said with a trace of laziness, "Who cares. Let these big shots fight for these trivial matters. We just need to do our own things."
He put his hands under his head and closed his eyes. He mumbled something. Old Ma didn't hear it clearly and asked, "What did you say?"
Lu Chen closed his eyes and said, "I hope the person we are looking for tomorrow is still alive."
…
In the spring of this year, the weather in the Immortal City where Zhenxianmeng was located was pleasant. Hundreds of flowers were in full bloom. Not only peach blossoms, but also countless beautiful flowers bloomed in this season, decorating the city extraordinarily beautiful.
And at this time, in Zhenxianmeng, which had always been calm, at least on the surface, for many years, a piece of strange news suddenly came out: the five devils of the Blood Wing Sect of East Sea that Zhenxianmeng had suppressed a while ago, had suddenly abandoned the darkness and entered the light. All of them had been absorbed by Zhenxianmeng.
However, among them, two first surrendered to Immortal Tian Lan, while the other three had inexplicably joined the Heavenly Law Hall of another Deity Stage Immortal, Tiehu.
For a moment, everyone inside and outside Zhenxianmeng cast sidelong glances at each other. There seemed to be some faint tension between these two big shots who stood at the peak of the human cultivation world.
And in the surging undercurrents, there was another matter that was not so obvious, although perhaps this matter itself was much more important. Immortal Gu Yue, another big shot who was in charge of the "Starry Hall" in Zhenxianmeng, suddenly sent a secret letter to the other five Deity Stage Immortals in Zhenxianmeng one day, inviting them to the Starry Hall for a discussion.
It had been many, many years since all six Deity Stage Immortals in Zhenxianmeng had gathered together.
