"What are we doing here again?" White Lotus was the first to ask Lu Chen when the three people and a dog arrived at the increasingly desolate house.
Lu Chen pointed to the underground secret passage and said, "Let's go down and check again."
White Lotus looked a little reluctant. She frowned and said, "This place should have been searched long ago. Didn't we find anything? Wouldn't it be a waste of time to come again? I say, are you two men so free? Martial Uncle Tianlan asked you to help him. Why do I feel that you are deliberately slacking off? "
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "How can this be called slacking off? The last time I came here, I really didn't find any clues related to the Devil Cult. But later I thought about it carefully. The butcher who ran away is still very likely to be a devil of the Devil Cult. So we still need to search this place carefully. Maybe we may find something new. "
White Lotus looked like she didn't believe him. She said very frankly, "You must have searched carefully the last time. Did you check every corner under the secret passage, especially near the gravel wall? Why can't we find it last time, but this time we can? "
Lu Chen coughed and then said seriously, "What you said actually makes a lot of sense. So after learning from the painful experience, I brought Atsu here this time. This dog Atsu is very talented and is very good at tracking, much better than us practitioners. So I want to bring it here to have a look. Maybe it can find something. " He paused and then said, "If even Atsu can't find anything, then forget it. I will completely give up on this place and never come back again."
White Lotus glanced at the black dog standing beside Lu Chen. It was wagging its tail slightly and looking around curiously. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. After a while, she smiled reluctantly and silently walked aside.
…
Lu Chen and Old Ma began to prepare on the spot, such as torches and flint. After all, it was very dark after going down the secret passage.
During this time, they saw White Lotus walk to the peach tree alone and stand a little far away from them. Old Ma took the opportunity to ask Lu Chen, "I just wanted to ask you the same question as White Lotus. Last night, didn't we secretly discuss that if something big happens in the future, we will run away? In this case, before that, I thought we could only muddle along and pretend. We have to think of a way to escape in private. Why do you look like you are still working very seriously? "
Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "Running away in the future and chasing after the Devil Cult are two different things? These two have nothing to do with each other, we have to think of a way. But for the Devil Cult, we still have to chase after them. "
Old Ma rolled his eyes and mumbled, "Alright, I hope before we think of a way to escape, we won't be killed by those lunatics from the Devil Cult first."
Lu Chen glanced at him and smiled, "Don't worry, look at how many years I've been dealing with the Devil Cult and I'm still alive and kicking. What's there to be afraid of?"
Old Ma spat and said, "You can brag to anyone in the world but don't brag in front of me. I've seen how you were in Qingshuitang Village for the past ten years."
Lu Chen laughed heartily and his laughter travelled to the peach tree. White Lotus turned her head and looked over. With an annoyed expression, she shouted, "Hey, why are you two grown men dilly-dallying like this. Are the torches ready? If they're ready, come over quickly."
The flowers on the peach tree had not withered yet. The peach blossoms were still blooming beautifully in the wind. However, there were still signs of decay at the edges of the branches. Some of the petals had withered, and some of the leaves had curled up. When the wind blew, more petals and leaves fell down.
When they walked past the peach tree, Old Ma glanced at it and said, "The peach blossoms are blooming well."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, they've been blooming for a long time and they haven't withered yet."
With a whoosh, the torch streaked across the air. Lu Chen took it from Old Ma and was the first to walk into the secret passage. At the same time, he whistled and the Black Dog immediately ran over.
Just as Lu Chen was about to tell it to follow him, Atsu glanced at the dark hole and ran down without hesitation. It was as if it was not afraid of the darkness at all. It didn't look like it was its first time here at all.
Lu Chen was startled and called out to Atsu, but Atsu had already walked into the darkness.
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "This dog is a little strange today."
Although he said that, Lu Chen didn't care too much. He held the torch and walked down.
Behind him, White Lotus had a complicated expression on her face. She looked at Lu Chen's back and then followed him without saying a word.
Old Ma walked at the back with a torch in his hand. Although he had known this place for a long time, he had never come down this underground secret passage. Today was the first time. Before walking down the stone steps and entering this secret passage, his eyes swept across the seemingly desolate and dilapidated courtyard. Finally, his eyes stopped on the blooming peach tree for a moment. He seemed to frown slightly, but his footsteps didn't stop. The darkness spread over and swallowed his figure.
…
The huge immortal city was located on the fertile Four Rivers Plain and nurtured countless living beings. There were countless secrets hidden in this huge city without city walls, but there were also countless dark corners that no one knew about.
Most people in the world knew of the evil Devil Cult. In the past many years, they were afraid of this cult and kept a respectful distance from it. But there were also people who stood up bravely and fought against the Devil Cult for the sake of the common people and justice. They tried their best to block this terrible Devil Cult from people's sight and life.
There were many such people, but the most famous one was of course the world-famous True Lord Tianlan. He and the Fuyunji that he founded single-handedly fought against the Devil Cult for decades. They never stopped and never retreated. They paid a heavy and bloody price in exchange for today's peace.
This was a statement that many people heard and believed, because it was true. The number one enemy of the Devil Cult today was Fuyunji.
But in Zhenxianmeng, including the organization Fuyunji, although they would never admit it on the surface, many people knew clearly that in this Zhenxianmeng headquarters, in the most powerful Immortal City in Fuyunji, in this ostentatious and comfortable city, the Devil Cult was lurking here.
For so many years, the Devil Cult had been hunted down, slaughtered, and tried every means to exterminate them. But this evil cult still stubbornly survived. And until now, people still couldn't find any trace of the Devil Cult in the Immortal City.
Knowing that their terrible enemies were in this Immortal City, but they couldn't find them, and every night, they would be afraid that those madmen in the dark would suddenly rush out and start a massacre. What kind of feeling was this?
Xue Ying had such an unusually complicated feeling. She was a beautiful woman, but it had been many years since a man dared to get close to her. Sometimes, she would secretly fantasize about it in her heart, but very soon, she would chase this weak thought out of her mind.
Especially on this day, when she was in a daze, she suddenly received a secret report.
Fuyunji's spies in the Immortal City suddenly reported that they had found a person who looked very much like the leader of the Devil Cult in the Western Continent, Fan Tui.
Xue Ying's expression was cold, but she instantly felt a surge of hot blood in her heart. She secretly clenched her fists.
It's here, it's here, it's finally here!
In this world, there was only one person who could make Fan Tui leave his base in the Western Continent and sneak into the Immortal City.
That was the only remaining and most mysterious leader of the Devil Cult, Elder Ghost!
