After lighting two torches, they walked down the stone steps one after the other. Lu Chen once again came to this secret passage that did not seem to have any secrets. Su Qingjun followed behind him and looked around curiously. At the same time, her eyes also revealed a bit of caution.
The fire dispelled the darkness nearby. Lu Chen looked around and found that there was basically no change from the scene in his memory. He pointed in the direction of the passage and said to Su Qingjun, "Go that way."
Su Qingjun nodded and walked side by side with him. At the same time, Lu Chen softly told her the whole story of the discovery of this secret passage, including the Butcher Rui Xiaotian who had escaped and whose identity was still unknown.
Towards the end, he pointed at the ancient ruins that gradually appeared in front of them and said to Su Qingjun, "Although we still can't be sure that butcher is a member of the Devil Cult, I think there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that he is. In fact, I've already carefully searched this secret passage once before, but I didn't find anything for the time being. It looks like that person secretly dug a tunnel again, but in the end, he ran into the boundary of the True Immortal Alliance's seal ruins, and couldn't go any further. "
Su Qingjun nodded, her eyes swept over the ancient bricks around, looking at the strange patterns that originated from ancient times, and finally the gravel wall that was blocked at the end of the passage. After a moment, she turned to Lu Chen and said, "In that case, you came back again tonight. Do you still have doubts in your heart?"
"Well, it's true." Lu Chen nodded and walked to the side of the gravel wall. He gently touched the rough stones with his hand and said, "Although the people of the Devil Cult are fierce, they are not fools. This passage happened to be dug to here. One step further and it will be the legendary ancient ruins. So I have been thinking that maybe they are secretly coveting the treasures in the ancient ruins. "
Su Qingjun thought for a moment and said, "The legend of the ancient ruins here in Immortal City, I have heard people talking about it when I was still in Kunlun Mountain. It was said that it was the first treasure in the world. Do you think it's reliable? "
Without any hesitation, Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Not reliable."
Su Qingjun didn't expect him to be so straightforward. She was startled and said, "How can you be so sure?"
Lu Chen said, "Firstly, this ancient relic wasn't sealed for a very long time. If there really were countless earth-shattering treasures in it, wouldn't those extraordinary people and heroes of the previous generations have swarmed to it and divided it up?"
"Secondly, even if the legend is true, and there are indeed rare treasures that we can't imagine hidden in the ruins, if that's the case, why did the ancestors of the True Immortal Alliance seal this place by force? Obviously, if it's not that they didn't fancy the treasures here, even with their all-knowing powers and supernatural powers, they couldn't take those things out. What's more, they might have discovered something even more terrible in the depths of the ruins. In order to avoid bringing disaster to the human world, they had no choice but to seal this place. "
Su Qingjun was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I didn't think so much before but after hearing what you said today, I feel that it does make some sense."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's just a little guess of mine, it's nothing much. Actually I myself didn't have much interest in this ancient ruins but after discovering this secret passage, I had an idea. "
"What is it?" Su Qingjun asked.
Lu Chen's eyes swept across that ice-cold stone wall and said, "If this secret passage was really deliberately dug by the Evil Sect, then I will guess, could it be that they have discovered some unknown secret, so they are secretly probing or trying to enter?"
Su Qingjun was stunned for a moment, said, "Do you think it's possible for the Evil Sect? This is a prohibition set up by a few Deity Stage True Monarchs of the previous Zhenxianmeng, not to mention ordinary people, even a highly skilled cultivator would not be able to break it. "
Lu Chen smiled, his expression seemed to have some subtle emotions, after a while, he was heard softly saying, "I think, no matter what, we can't underestimate them."
"After the number of madmen increases, it's hard to guarantee that one or two unimaginable geniuses won't suddenly appear." Lu Chen patted the stones beside him, calmly said.
…
The two of them stayed in this tunnel for a long time but just like before, there were almost no traces of suspicious clues, so in the end they returned without any results.
After walking out of the secret passage and returning to the surface, the night breeze gently caressed their faces, making them feel somewhat comfortable, compared to the pressure in the underground secret passage, it made them feel much more comfortable.
Su Qingjun also seemed to have returned to normal, her expression somewhat cold, probably to her, all kinds of entanglements in the world, after all, could not be so casually ignored. She coldly greeted Lu Chen, then prepared to turn and leave.
At this time, Lu Chen called out to her.
He actually did not have any more entanglements, he only told Su Qingjun about his residence in the alley at Xi Ma Bridge, and briefly talked about the current situation in Immortal City. In the end, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, then said to her, "Although I don't know why Dead Guang... Tian Lan Supreme suddenly transferred a large number of your Kunlun Party's elites to Immortal City to be under his command, but this person, has always been far-sighted and has a great vision. Once he has made up his mind to do something, it will definitely be a big matter that cannot be underestimated."
Su Qingjun glanced at him, did not speak.
Lu Chen said again, "Although Kunlun is a famous righteous sect, although the sect rules say that when you cultivate and practice martial arts, you are born to unsheathe your sword for the world's common people, righteousness and righteousness. But great matters must have great risks, sometimes it may even be unexpected. Just like the Evil Sect these years, although they are declining, but believe me, no matter what, you cannot underestimate them. "
"The common people's righteousness is very good, but one's life is one's own. I don't know the trade-offs, everyone has their own views, I just want to tell you, be careful, "Lu Chen looked at Su Qingjun, calmly saying.
Su Qingjun was silent for a long time, but in the end, she did not say a word, only nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Not long after, her figure disappeared in this dark night.
The night wind blew, the peach tree next to him swayed with the wind, the grass and trees in the courtyard were quiet and lonely, leaving only Lu Chen standing here alone. He looked around, suddenly feeling a little emotional.
If it was not for the blood stains on his chest, and the faint pain, perhaps the woman just now was also a bit like a dream, floating in, floating away, not leaving a trace.
Life is like a dream, maybe everyone is just a passerby.
Lu Chen looked at his own hand, grabbed the air, then opened it to take a look, but there was nothing, he could not grab anything.
He stood on the spot and pondered for a while, suddenly said to himself, "Looks like I can't find anything here, should I go back and catch Atsu? That dog has a good nose, maybe he can find something … "
