Lu Chen's face was gloomy, a murderous look surfaced on his face. Needless to say, the pursuers outside were most likely the Evil Faction's troops and right now there was no way to escape, it looked like a hopeless situation.
The Evil Faction had a blood feud with him, it was impossible to reconcile, if they found him here, most likely it would be a bloody battle to the death. Lu Chen was well aware of this, he also knew the craziness of the Evil Faction's followers but after many years of experience, countless adventures and tribulations on the edge of life and death, it had long made his will as hard as steel.
Even if he were to die here today, he was not afraid of anything.
In fact, compared to death, Lu Chen was more unwilling to fall into the hands of the Evil Faction, in the past years, he had deeply witnessed the darkest scenes of this crazy sect, even he himself had once become a part of this darkness.
He thought quietly in his heart, and then a black dagger quietly appeared in his hand. Life or death, it all depended on himself.
He looked back and found that Atsu had already walked to the stone pillar in the centre and was sniffing carefully but for the time being, it seemed that there was still nothing.
Lu Chen's heart suddenly moved, he thought of a strange thing, it was those two people who walked out from here, then there must be a mechanism here that could open a secret door somewhere but right now they could not find it, there were only two possibilities: One, the mechanism here was too well hidden, hidden in a top secret place, even Atsu could not find it; Two, the Evil Faction's sorcerers had secretly opened the door here from the beginning and after the changes happened outside, they directly entered here and closed the secret door.
Which one it was was not important, the important thing was, there must be an exit here!
Lu Chen looked around, his eyes flashed and then he saw Atsu's footsteps were getting faster and faster, but he kept circling around that pillar.
With every circle, Atsu would growl in a low voice, looking more and more perplexed, but he still could not find that damn mechanism's entrance.
Outside the door, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, as if they had reached the last straight passage leading here.
Lu Chen's eyes flashed, suddenly he strode over, grabbed Atsu and then leaned it behind him, whispered urgently, "Go up, step on my shoulder and smell!"
Atsu was stunned for a moment, before it could react, Lu Chen had already squatted down, grabbed Atsu's feet and put it on his shoulder.
Atsu immediately understood, it was a little hesitant at first but then it also leaned on him.
Lu Chen let out a muffled groan. He straightened his body and pushed Ah-Tu's body up. At the same time, his expression changed slightly. He snorted coldly and cursed, "Damn it! You stupid dog, you can't eat so much in the future, it's so heavy … "
Ah-Tu let out a low growl with some dissatisfaction. It looked a little annoyed, but with Lu Chen's help, it quickly approached the roof. Atsu stood up like a human, stretched out its nose and started sniffing.
Not long after, Atsu's body suddenly stopped, as if it had discovered something, it barked a few times and then looked very excited, it stretched out its two front paws and desperately slapped a piece of green brick beside the stone pillar.
Lu Chen was overjoyed, just as he was about to take action, suddenly he heard a crisp sound from above, followed by a thin piece of stone falling down, landing on the ground with a "bang". At the top of the roof, a small square hole was revealed, inside was a red handle.
It was also at this moment, suddenly, the sound outside the door disappeared. Lu Chen's face suddenly darkened, he looked back, only to see a figure flashed past the door, a moment later, a figure stood at the door of this circular room, it was Chen He. And behind him, there were many figures, following one after another.
The atmosphere in this room, instantly became dead silent, stiff and cold.
…
On the long street of Immortal City's White Tiger District, above and below the big pit, inside and outside, there was silence. Everyone in Fuyunji heard that sentence.
That was what True Lord Tian Lan said to Xue Ying, calm, indifferent, and unperturbed, as if it was a very casual instruction.
But Xue Ying did not believe it, and neither did the surrounding people.
However, under the pressure of the True Lord, no one dared to breathe loudly. Xue Ying's body even trembled slightly, but in the end, she still forced herself to calm down, then a trace of sadness appeared on her face, and she slowly walked up.
That tall and burly True Lord Tian Lan looked down at her from above, looking like a god, like a mountain, as if he always stood high up in the clouds, as if he could easily crush mortals in the mortal world.
Xue Ying felt that her hands and feet weren't listening to her, but her many years of experience in managing the Floating Clouds Agency allowed her to forcibly hold on. It was probably for the sake of her face, which she didn't really care about.
She slowly walked to True Lord Tian Lan's side, called out in a low voice, and then thought faintly in her heart: If a person is dead, what use is face?
True Lord Tian Lan did not have the intention to reason with her, nor did he have the leisure time to chat with her, and instead asked straightforwardly, "Do you have any ideas now?"
Xue Ying took a deep breath, her hands tightly clenched into fists in her sleeves, and said in a low voice, "There must be something strange about the ruins below the pit, if you are willing to give me a little more time, I will definitely be able to find it."
True Lord Tian Lan sneered, and said, "How long do you need?"
Xue Ying was speechless. She had followed True Monarch Tian Lan for many years and was well aware of this Lord's terrifying and unfathomable personality. A long, long time ago, she had already repeatedly warned herself not to lie to this Lord True Monarch.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Xue Ying finally chose to tell the truth, and said bitterly, "I, I don't know."
A green aura flashed across True Lord Tian Lan's face, and his gaze swept across the surrounding long street, the mess in the pit, the charred corpses, the heavily injured people lying on the ground, and said in a low voice, "It's been more than ten years, this is the worst defeat we've suffered in the hands of the Devil Sect in more than ten years!"
Xue Ying lowered her head, unable to speak, and her body trembled slightly. True Lord Tian Lan looked at her, and an enormous aura swept over like a raging wave.
Just as this invisible aura was about to drown this charming woman, suddenly, in this silence, everyone suddenly heard a strange rumbling sound coming from the depths of the ground.
A moment later, everyone at the bottom of the pit suddenly cried out, and then retreated one after another. However, the ruins in the corner of the ruins shook, and then all kinds of runes flashed in succession, sliding away, and in the blink of an eye, a three-foot square black hole appeared.
Everyone was in an uproar, but before they could react, they heard a series of bone-chilling explosions from inside, and a thick black flame first rushed out of the hole, and then a thick cloud of black smoke.
A moment later, everyone heard a shrill cry from inside the black hole, and a black shadow rushed out of the black hole, but then its body tilted in mid-air, and it fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
Someone in the distance cried out in alarm, but in the blink of an eye, True Lord Tian Lan's figure appeared in mid-air, and with one arm, he caught the person who fell from the sky.
It was Lu Chen.
At this moment, half of his body seemed to have been burned by the raging flames, and he looked terrible, badly mutilated, but for some reason, he still seemed to be conscious, and with some difficulty, he turned his head to look at True Lord Tian Lan.
True Lord Tian Lan also looked at him quietly, but in the depths of that pair of eyes that were as deep as the deep sea, there seemed to be raging waves.
Lu Chen looked at him, the corner of his mouth twitched, and then he actually seemed to smile. After a moment, in that silence, everyone present heard that sentence, "Sigh, damn baldy …"
Before the voice died away, Lu Chen's head tilted, and he had already fainted.
