The hall was silent for a long time until Lu Chen's voice rang out, "I've been in the Devil Cult for too long and I know them better than anyone else. Although the Devil Cult has a great reputation and is very ferocious, and there are still some demonic remnants appearing from time to time, but after the Battle of the Desolate Valley more than ten years ago, they have more or less collapsed. "
"Collapsed? But don't forget that 'Elder Ghost' is still on the run. Even though we have annihilated their lair in the Immortal City Underground Palace a few days ago, he still escaped. "Perfected Lord Tianlan asked.
Lu Chen said indifferently, "He alone is useless. In history, the Devil Cult had countless even more outstanding geniuses but in the end, they still inevitably weakened. This is not the key point."
"Oh, then what is the key point? Tell me." Perfected Lord Tianlan seemed to be interested, and his gaze became calmer. There was even a hint of admiration in his eyes.
These complicated and intertwined emotions made him look like a terrifying dragon that was constantly changing its expression. He was hard to fathom.
Lu Chen was probably the only person in this world who could speak bluntly in front of this' dragon '. Or perhaps it was because he strangely maintained an inexplicable calmness, "Foundation, their foundation has been destroyed."
Perfected Lord Tianlan's eyes flickered, "What foundation?"
"People." Lu Chen said calmly, "The key to the Devil Cult spreading its teachings and absorbing new blood to expand and strengthen is that they need many new people, which is the countless ordinary people in the world. As long as there are people who believe in their nonsense, then no matter what kind of setbacks the Devil Cult encounters, there will be a day where they will rise again. "
Perfected Lord Tianlan nodded, "Indeed. In the past, there were some peerless geniuses in the world's righteous path who almost annihilated the Devil Cult. But as time passed, these evildoers could always rise again. Since the Devil Cult is so difficult to destroy, why are you so sure now? "
"Because there has never been a Zhenxianmeng before." Lu Chen looked at him and said, "In the past, no matter how powerful the geniuses of the righteous path were, they were just people who defied the natural order. At most, they had the power of a sect or sect. But now, Zhenxianmeng controls the cultivation world and his influence covers the whole world. Almost everyone is under the control of the Immortal Alliance. As time goes by, everyone will hear what Zhenxianmeng has announced, they will know that the nonsense of the Devil Cult cannot be trusted, and it will be harder for them to recruit new blood … "
Perfected Lord Tianlan laughed. Lu Chen sighed and said, "So what if there's Elder Gui? They're still facing a dead end in the end. There's no way out. We're destined to perish. "
Perfected Lord Tian Lan patted his knee gently, looking somewhat relieved. "Thank you for your auspicious words. I hope so."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and said, "This is the general trend and it won't change anymore. It's just that many people don't understand the Devil Cult well, so they haven't reacted yet." He raised his head and looked at Perfected Lord Tian Lan. "However, you're different. Just like me, you've been dealing with this bunch of monster incarnates for decades. I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I can see as well. So I find it strange that the Devil Cult is just a facade now. You don't need to mobilize a large number of experts from the Kunlun Party to help at all. Just the power of Fuyunji alone is enough to destroy them. "
Perfected Lord Tian Lan thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes some sense."
Lu Chen said, "So other than the Devil Cult, what else do you want to do?" At this moment, his expression was unusually serious. He frowned and said, "I once infiltrated the Devil Cult and risked my life for you. I helped you do things and risked my life for you. This is nothing. But I want to know what exactly you want to do?"
When Perfected Lord Tianlan heard the first sentence, his expression was still a little uncertain. However, when he heard the words of risking his life, his body trembled slightly, as if his heart had been touched.
His gaze slowly turned gentle. After a while, he waved his hand lightly. Lu Chen immediately stood up and walked to his side with light footsteps. He then squatted down quietly.
Perfected Lord Tian Lan started to whisper in his ear. His voice was so low that only Lu Chen could hear it. He listened quietly and remained expressionless from the beginning to the end.
The moonlight outside the hall finally moved out of this place, leaving behind complete darkness that was as deep as the sea.
…
Since the birth of Zhenxianmeng, there was probably no one like Lu Chen, who suddenly rose to the sky in one night. From an unknown person, he suddenly rose to the clouds and became an influential person with great power.
Of course, this power came from the huge backing of Perfected Lord Tian Lan. But it was also because of Perfected Lord Tian Lan's strong and determined attitude that he directly gave Lu Chen incredible power. It showed that he valued this disciple very much and was determined to cultivate him with all his strength.
In fact, Lu Chen became the leader of the experts dispatched from the Kunlun Party. He was also responsible for negotiating with Xue Ying, the famous Hall Master of Fuyunji, about the arrangement of the two parties' forces. At the same time, he also began to intervene in everything related to the Devil Cult. He could ask about anything related to the Devil Cult.
These two appointments alone were enough to make Lu Chen one of the most popular upstarts in Zhenxianmeng. At the same time, he also controlled an unimaginably huge amount of resources in Zhenxianmeng. No one dared to take him lightly. Because now, whenever Lu Chen went out and introduced himself, he would say with great emotion, "I am Lu Chen, Taoist name Tian Ying!"
What? You don't care about Tian Ying? Then can you please go and talk to Perfected Lord Tian Lan?
…
There were too many smart people in Zhenxianmeng. They had sharp eyes and could see the situation clearly. Everyone could see that Perfected Lord Tian Lan, who was the most powerful and powerful person in Zhenxianmeng, probably really wanted to cultivate his new disciple this time.
As for the other big shots under his command who had already been famous for many years? Thousand Lantern Immortal was far away in Kunlun as the Sect Leader Immortal and was out of his reach. Xue Ying was in charge of Fuyunji and had great power. However, she had suffered a heavy setback from the Devil Cult a few days ago. The outside world was saying that Perfected Lord Tian Lan was dissatisfied with her. Besides, you are just a subordinate. How can you be compared with Lu Chen, a direct disciple with an inherited Taoist name?
Perhaps Xue Ying herself had also recognized this reality. So when Lu Chen came to her and asked for the dozen Devil Cult captives he had captured in the underground palace, Xue Ying agreed without hesitation, even though it was Fuyunji's biggest responsibility to interrogate and deal with the Devil Cult for the past few decades.
Her straightforwardness even surprised Lu Chen a little, but Lu Chen did not care too much. In fact, he just came to Fuyunji for a trip. For many years, the prison of Fuyunji had been the safest place to imprison dangerous members of the Devil Cult. For so many years, no one had ever escaped, so Lu Chen did not want to cause trouble.
Outside the prison of Fuyunji, while waiting for those people in front to go through the complicated and tedious procedures to open the door, Lu Chen looked back and saw a man and a woman following behind him. The man was still Old Ma, but the woman was not White Lotus who had been with them for the past few days. Instead, it was Su Qingjun.
At this moment, Su Qingjun did not have much of an expression on her face, but when she occasionally looked at Lu Chen, her eyes were a little complicated. She probably grew up in a quiet and peaceful environment of an aristocratic family and had never seen a man like him who insisted on using power to transfer her here.
However, at this time, Lu Chen did not look at her. Instead, he frowned slightly, as if remembering something. He asked Old Ma in a low voice, "Where is White Lotus? Why haven't I seen her recently?"
Old Ma shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It seems that since that day at Horse Washing Bridge, she has been hiding from us and refused to come over."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "Is she angry?"
