Everything was chaotic and noisy, but the general situation of the world was as calm as before. Even after the explosion in the Immortal City, the scene was fiery and the casualties were heavy, it made the Evil Cult, which had been on the decline for a long time, suddenly become the focus of attention again.
But in fact, this did not change or help the Evil Cult's momentum and actual situation. On the contrary, on the side of Zhenxianmeng and Fuyunji, with the entrance of the underground palace that Lu Chen accidentally found, broke through the old nest that the Evil Cult had been operating in the Immortal City for many years, killed and captured many remnants of the Evil Cult. Except for the most mysterious leader Elder Ghost who was still on the run, it could be said that the Evil Cult's power in the Immortal City had been defeated in one fell swoop.
Decades of hard work went down the drain. The result of this battle could be said to be unforgettable pain for the Evil Cult. However, Fuyunji did not relax because of this. After fighting with the Evil Cult for many years, they were experienced and their methods were ruthless. They had a deep meaning of 'extermination'.
Many of the Evil Cult's captives who were captured alive were questioned in Fuyunji's prison. Naturally, there were some punishments that could not be known by outsiders. In short, the result was that, after a few days of silence, Fuyunji once again launched a large-scale operation and carried out a thorough sweep of the remaining Evil Cult's spies and hidden forces in the Immortal City.
This was a swift, ferocious, and thorough sweep. During this period, there were even quite a few spies caught within the True Immortal Alliance. There were quite a few people who usually didn't reveal any flaws, but this time, they were exposed by the confessions of the captives.
These spies were all over the halls of Zhenxianmeng. Although the total number was not particularly large, there were only a dozen of them, but even so, it was enough to shock people.
In this storm-like arrest process, naturally, there were people who cried injustice, some people were filled with righteous indignation, some people angrily and angrily rebuked, saying some heart-wrenching words, expressing their loyalty to their sect's Immortals. There were also some who accused Fuyunji of making a fuss, taking the opportunity to eliminate the strength of other Immortals and so on.
In short, these words attracted quite a bit of criticism. Even though it couldn't be considered to be a raging storm, there were still undercurrents surging in the True Immortal Alliance. Many halls found the overbearing and domineering Floating Clouds Office to be an eyesore. In the end, the storm subsided. It was said that the big shots at the top sat down and had a chat. A bald Perfected Monarch showed some things to the other Perfected Monarchs. Then, they chatted for a while and went their separate ways.
Following that, Fuyunji stopped arresting people. Of course, it was also possible that they had already arrested all the people that they should have arrested. At the same time, the people from other halls also received verbal orders from their superiors. They only said that among those who were arrested, there were indeed many spies of the Evil Cult with conclusive evidence. Naturally, everyone did not make a ruckus anymore.
However, although Fuyunji could be considered to have achieved a significant victory, they also restrained themselves a lot. Probably because they had received a secret warning, they were not as aggressive as before.
In short, this period of time passed just like that. Things calmed down just like that. The power of the Evil Cult in Immortal City was basically uprooted. The world was at peace, the wind was calm and the waves were calm. Not to mention a storm, not even a ripple could be seen.
Zhenxianmeng, this behemoth, was the leader of the world. Millions of people submitted to it. It was in line with the phrase "prosperous and flourishing".
…
Recently, White Lotus had been following Lu Chen. No matter where Lu Chen went, she was almost always by his side. If there was something, she would do it. If there was something, she would help. If there was nothing, she would stand at the side in a daze. In short, other than not sleeping in the same room at night, she was almost inseparable from Lu Chen. At least, she was always within Lu Chen's sight and never left his side.
And because of this, Lu Chen, who had recently risen to fame and was regarded by Zhenxianmeng as the biggest heir to the huge foundation of Lord Tianlan, also left an impression in Tianlong Mountain. That was, no matter where he went, there would always be two closest subordinates by his side. One was the fatty Old Ma and the other was the extraordinarily beautiful young girl White Lotus.
From time to time, Old Ma would leave to help Lu Chen. But the outstanding and beautiful young girl never left Lu Chen's side. She seemed to be his guard, but also like a helper who could not leave his side for a moment.
Some busybodies or people with ulterior motives secretly spread that even at night, White Lotus actually slept in the same room and on the same bed with Lu Chen. They said that this young girl was actually Lu Chen's concubine and so on. There were all kinds of exaggerations, ambiguities, scoldings, and innuendo, which were not pleasant to hear.
Of course, these rumors could not escape the ears of Fuyunji and would naturally spread to Lu Chen and the other two. In this regard, Lu Chen could do nothing. Old Ma just laughed it off. And White Lotus, who should have been the angriest, seemed to be the calmest. She was indifferent to this kind of dirty water that was poured on her and still followed Lu Chen closely every day. Even though Lu Chen had told her several times to avoid arousing suspicion, White Lotus still insisted on it.
In the end, Lu Chen also gave up persuading her with a bitter smile. There were some things that no one could say, could not say, and dared not say, but they would always have some premonitions. Looking at such a talented and outstanding looking young girl, who should have been regarded as a treasure in the world, right now was living with fear and trepidation, it really made one sigh.
But such indulgence also brought about other consequences. Other than attracting attention, every time Lu Chen met Su Qingjun recently, all he saw was a cold face and a disdainful gaze.
This evening, the upstart trio of their Tian Lan Supreme's faction once again walked out of that prison in Fuyunji. Perhaps it was because that kind of dirty and dark place always gave people a kind of gloomy mood, the expressions of the three of them did not look too good.
After walking to one side, Old Ma sighed and said, "Still can't get an answer, what should we do?"
Now that the Evil Sect's power in Immortal City was almost wiped out, the only unresolved hidden danger was that missing Elder Ghost. And among the Evil Sect's captives, the only one who had contact with Elder Ghost was Chen He. So during this period of time, they no longer paid attention to the others and only specifically questioned Chen He.
But Chen He's willpower was unexpectedly strong, no matter what method Lu Chen and the rest used, they could not pry open his mouth. Even White Lotus, who had "shone brilliantly" in the interrogation previously, could not do it.
Hearing Old Ma's words, Lu Chen did not have any reaction, but White Lotus who was beside him had already frowned, as if she was somewhat disgusted by Old Ma's words. But the truth was the truth, even if she was unhappy, she could only endure it. She only intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Lu Chen's face, as if she was somewhat concerned about Lu Chen's meaning.
Naturally, Lu Chen would not get angry or scold them. Speaking of which, the relationship between the three of them was also a little strange. Lu Chen and Old Ma were slightly better, after all they were old friends for more than ten years, but White Lotus and them were not like subordinates, not like friends, even if she wanted to scold them, it did not seem to be very good.
After a moment of silence, Lu Chen still waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's go back first."
They walked all the way down the mountain, the sky slowly darkened as they walked. Unknowingly, they walked to the long street of Immortal City, and saw a familiar place in front of them was surrounded by a large piece of cloth.
Lu Chen's footsteps paused, and he said, "Isn't that the place where the explosion happened a few days ago? That entire restaurant was blown up, why is it suddenly surrounded today?"
White Lotus did not speak, but it was Old Ma who was well-informed, and he said, "Oh, that side is going to be rebuilt, these days they have been filling that big pit, and at the same time, preserving the entrance to the underground palace."
As they spoke, the three of them suddenly felt something at the same time, and looked up together, only to see a cloud falling from the night sky, turning into a ray of light and directly falling behind the cloth, disappearing without a sound.
Lu Chen glanced at Old Ma, and Old Ma understood, and said in a low voice, "Now the underground palace below is not allowed to enter, including our people in Fuyunji. Those who go in and out are all people from the Starry Hall. "
Lu Chen was startled, and he glanced over there, frowned and said, "Could it be that that person just now, is it Immortal Gu Yue? Why does he keep running underground for no reason? Why is he doing this every day? "
