The lifeless body rolled down the stone steps, colliding with each other along the way, rolling faster and faster. In the blood-red light, it looked somewhat miserable. Finally, it fell to the ground with a "bang", and then rolled for a distance before stopping.
Lu Chen stared at the body below, then turned and walked up, Atsu, who was standing not far from the cave entrance, wagged its tail at him. When Lu Chen walked past it, he smiled, stretched out his hand and patted its head.
When he walked back into the cave, Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, and even turned back to look at that strange blood moon hanging in the air, his heart filled with doubt and curiosity. But among the two Evil Sect demons who had just chased over, one of the chefs was already dead, but the other man called 'Hall Leader Fan' was not here.
Lu Chen looked at the deep cave entrance ahead, when he was about to step inside, he suddenly stopped.
His expression fluctuated, and after a while, he slowly pulled back his foot that had been stretched out.
The Evil Cult sorcerer in front had obviously escaped. Perhaps there was someone coming to their aid. Perhaps the identity of that man surnamed Fan was also very important. Because this time he actually said that he wanted to see the Evil Cult's biggest leader, Elder Ghost.
Maybe the opportunity to track the Evil Sect's biggest secret for decades was just ahead, maybe that mysterious Elder Ghost was also there. Lu Chen clearly knew, if it was him during the battle of the barren valley, he would definitely continue to pursue.
For the common people? For justice and justice?
Maybe, at that time in his heart, he had no doubt about it.
But now … At that moment, Lu Chen seemed to suddenly ask himself this question in his heart.
Atsu was about to follow in, who knew that Lu Chen suddenly stopped, couldn't help but looked at him strangely.
Standing where he was, Lu Chen frowned slightly and thought for a while, then gently exhaled.
Or, probably, should be … believing in those things.
Just that, he was no longer a young man. He thought of even more dangers and apprehensions. The hot-blooded feeling from those years was finally gone. He looked coldly at the tunnel in front of him, then stepped back and said to Atsu, "Let's go."
…
"That man with the surname Fan took advantage of the opportunity to escape. If I'm not mistaken, there must be people from the Devil Cult coming to his aid. Unless we can intercept him before he finds his aid, we will inevitably fall into a bitter battle."
"The situation in the cave is unclear, I don't want to take the risk," Lu Chen said to Atsu as he walked up the stone stairs.
Ah-Tu didn't know if he understood or not, but he didn't reply. He just kept looking left and right at his surroundings.
Lu Chen looked at the blood moon above his head, pondered for a moment and then said, "That chef is dead, the Evil Cult's people will only have two reactions, one is to escape, two, they have a lot of people here and their strength is strong, then they will rush over to kill us. I don't think we can stay here for long. We need to leave this place. "
But, how could they leave this maze-like underground city?
Lu Chen looked around. After a moment, he suddenly pointed to a place in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Let's go there."
Atsu raised his head and took a look. That seemed to be the place where the two demons from the Devil Cult came in.
Since the way they came in was blocked by collapsed rocks, the place where the two demons from the Devil Cult came in would not also be blocked. Lu Chen thought to himself as he quickly led Atsu in that direction.
At this moment, because of the strange power of the blood moon in the sky, he and Atsu's speed became abnormally fast. They quickly passed through the underground city and rushed toward the entrance of the cave that the two demons came in from.
Not long after their figures entered the stone wall, a whistling sound came from the entrance of the tunnel that led to another unknown place. After a moment, more than 10 figures rushed out from inside, including Hall Master Fan Tui.
However, in front of them was an empty city that was shrouded by the blood-colored moonlight. It was silent and not a single sound could be heard. Suddenly, someone exclaimed and rushed down. Following which, the others also saw the motionless corpse of the chef lying on the ground.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. Everyone ran down one after another, and a few people carefully guarded a few vital spots with a face full of vigilance. They seemed to be very experienced.
The chef's death was quickly confirmed by these people. However, the murderer was not in front of them. Furthermore, it seemed that he had disappeared. This fact made many of the Devil Cult disciples angry and worried. After a while, one of them stood out. He was also a familiar face. It was Chen He, who had met Fan Tui in the Western Continent.
He looked around and swept his gaze across the blood-colored city. At the same time, he said in a deep voice, "Send two people to escort Hall Master Fan back. Elder Ghost has something to discuss with him. The rest of you, follow me. We must find the person who followed us and see who he is."
The people beside him agreed. Fan Tui walked over, nodded at him, and said, "That person seems a little strange. Be careful."
Chen He's expression was solemn. He said cautiously, "I know. This is a secret location that our Divine Cult has only opened up after many years of operation. It is also protected by the legendary ancient relic seal. We thought that nothing would go wrong, but we did not expect someone to sneak in. We must not allow this person to live. "
Fan Tui nodded and left. He followed the stone steps back and quickly disappeared from this place.
Chen He, who was left in the blood-colored city, frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly waved his hand and shouted, "Leave one person to guard the entrance of this cave. The rest of you will search along the streets. Split up. Once you find anything, immediately shout loudly for your companions. We must capture that thief."
Someone at the side asked, "Sir, must we capture him alive?"
Chen He paused for a moment before coldly saying, "Capture him alive if you can. If that person resists stubbornly, kill him!"
"Yes!"
The surrounding people all agreed and immediately separated into a large group. Like a fan, they spread out towards the underground city, searching street by street, door by door, house by house, searching in detail.
The blood-colored moonlight shone on this underground cave. It was as though this place had turned into a blood-colored sea. It made one's scalp go numb.
Chen He did not follow them. He stood at the top of the stone steps and looked down at the situation below. He could clearly see the situation of his subordinates' search from where he was. They were indeed very detailed. They were like a sieve that slowly filtered through the area. However, after a while, even though they had already searched half the street, no one had found anything.
The mysterious person who had followed them seemed to have suddenly disappeared from this place.
Chen He frowned and looked into the distance. Suddenly, his gaze focused. He saw the other end of this city. He saw a few tunnels that had been carved out of the mountain walls.
Could he have escaped from that direction?
Chen He thought to himself. However, he did not dare to be sure.
