Lightning tore through the dark sky and split the night sky in half like a huge lightsaber in the storm. It also illuminated the dark world at that moment.
Lu Chen raised his head and looked at the person in front of him.
Perfected Lord Tianlan stood in the dark hall. He was tall and burly and had a cold and angry expression on his face. He looked like a glaring Vajra and a demonic god, instilling fear in people. For so many years, he had always been high and mighty like a god, looking down on all living beings and holding the lives and hopes of countless people in his hands.
His eyes were as deep as the ocean and his gaze fluctuated like turbulent waves. He was also staring at Lu Chen.
In this magnificent hall, there was a short period of time when it suddenly became quiet and no one spoke. The figure on the stone steps outside the hall was still sitting in the wind and rain, enduring the harsh wind and rain.
"Is there a need to do this? She's just a child," Lu Chen said in a low voice.
Perfected Lord Tianlan looked at him and said, "You were also a child when you entered the Devil Cult. What did you do later?"
Lu Chen's expression changed and he said, "She's still young and can't be compared to me. Back then, I was taught by you. She won't be so ruthless …"
"Who was the one who repeatedly tortured and tortured the captive of the Devil Cult these few days?" Perfected Lord Tianlan interrupted him and said with some mockery, "That method is much stronger than when you were at this age, right?"
"She hates me and you," Perfected Lord Tianlan looked at Lu Chen and said calmly, "Go and kill her."
"Me?"
"Why? You can't do it?"
"But she's a disciple of Kunlun after all. Moreover, she's a rare five-pillar talent. I can't …"
"She's Bai Chen's last disciple!" Perfected Lord Tianlan interrupted him.
Lu Chen immediately stopped talking. After a while, he sighed and said, "At the end of the day, this is the reason why she should die."
Perfected Lord Tian Lan looked at him with a deep gaze. "Is this reason enough?"
Lu Chen fell silent. After a while, he said in a low voice, "Enough."
…
"Why must I kill her myself?"
The moment Lu Chen stepped out of the main hall of Kunlun, his conversation with Perfected Lord Tianlan was still echoing in his mind. Even at that moment, even if he did not turn around, he could still feel the pair of cold eyes staring at his back.
"You are my successor. If you don't do this, who will?"
He knew that Baldy had always been paranoid. He knew that Baldy loved to play with people's hearts. He knew that this person was probably the most terrifying madman in the world. He also knew that, based on past experience, Baldy had almost never been wrong.
A madman who almost never makes a mistake …
"Pa!" Lu Chen walked out of the eaves of the main hall and into the storm. His feet stepped into a puddle on the ground. Sparkling water droplets flew into the air and transformed into a strange glow in the air.
The girl sitting on the steps trembled slightly as if she had sensed something. However, she did not turn around. She hugged her body tightly as if a bone-chilling cold was piercing through her body. She looked delicate and pitiful, like a delicate spring flower about to wither in the wind and rain.
In the blink of an eye, the wind and rain had drenched Lu Chen's body, but he did not seem to feel it at all. In the dark hall behind him, there was a tall and burly figure standing by the door, looking at his back indifferently.
His figure seemed to have merged with the night, turning into the omnipresent night sky that surrounded the two people in the wind and rain.
Lu Chen walked over step by step. At some point, a black dagger had appeared in his right hand. Every step he took was accompanied by wind, rain, and splashes of water. In the pouring rain, a strange power seemed to be slowly rising in the dark night, forcing the curtain of water aside and opening up a path that led straight to that weak and helpless figure.
White Lotus finally stood up and slowly turned around. She looked at the expressionless Lu Chen walking over, and also saw the black dagger in his hand.
Her face was covered with rainwater droplets. She looked somewhat miserable and haggard, as if she had finally fallen into despair. Then, in a helpless and helpless voice, she said to Lu Chen, "Why? Did I not do well enough?"
Lu Chen stopped in front of her and looked into her eyes. After a while, he said, "Sometimes in this world, there are those unreasonable things that happen."
White Lotus sorrowfully looked at him and mournfully said, "But I still want to live."
Lu Chen said, "But, he wants you to die."
White Lotus stared at him, as if using all her heart and hope, and said in a low voice, "Save me, can you?"
Lu Chen's gaze seemed to dim for a moment, as if thinking of something from the past, or perhaps feeling something. But after a moment, he still opened his mouth and said, "I can't save you."
He raised his hand, holding the dagger, and then stabbed out.
The black dagger pierced through the curtain of rain and water. At that moment, the world seemed to suddenly slow down, and perfectly round water droplets shot out in all directions. White Lotus's despairing and terrified gaze, the cold rain falling on her face like flying teardrops, and behind Lu Chen, countless black shadows suddenly appeared, like ghosts suddenly appearing in the darkness, wildly shouting. There was also a bolt of lightning that suddenly struck down from the sky.
In the depths of the wind and rain, there was a tall and dark figure.
He stared at her from afar. Just that gaze made White Lotus not dare to breathe, not dare to resist. She could only subconsciously reach out with her hands and grab the dagger, but she was powerless to stop it. She could only watch as the dagger pierced towards her chest.
Lu Chen understood White Lotus. He knew that this young girl looked pure and innocent, but in reality, she had a viciousness and strength that could not be underestimated. But in the next moment, he was shocked. White Lotus's almost powerless reaction caught him off guard.
That dagger pierced straight into her chest.
The wind and rain soaked the young girl's clothes, and drops of water fell from her cheeks. Her hands grabbed the black dagger, and then dark red blood flowed from her palms, slowly dripping down along the blade.
The black dagger pierced through her clothes and into her chest …
"Enough!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the hall, like a clap of thunder echoing in the dark night.
Lu Chen's expression changed. With a low groan, he lowered his wrist and bent his body. With a light shout, the dagger was pulled back with a spray of blood.
White Lotus's body was on the verge of collapse. Lu Chen hugged her, and suddenly looked back, only to see that in the distant hall, the tall and sturdy figure had already turned around. He seemed to casually wave his hand, and as he walked, he said, "Spare her life."
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared into the darkness. There was no reason, no explanation.
Lu Chen stared blankly in that direction, and suddenly lowered his head, only to see that White Lotus's chest already had a wound, and blood was gushing out. The young girl's face was as pale as paper, and she was already unconscious.
He roared angrily, and with a wave of his hand, the black dagger disappeared in an instant. When his hand reached out from his bosom, there was already a jade bottle. With a crack, Lu Chen directly crushed the bottle with the red plum pattern, and then stuffed an elixir into White Lotus's mouth. Then, he carried White Lotus and rushed down the mountain.
In the wind and rain, the great hall stood majestically. On the lotus throne, True Lord Tianlan sat like a demon god, his expression solemn as he gazed into the distance. After an unknown period of time, he slowly nodded, a trace of satisfaction on his face.
