When the news that Chen He, who had always been as tough as iron, suddenly opened his mouth spread out in the prison of Fuyunji, a lot of people were alarmed. For a moment, there was no telling how many people were paying attention to the prison of Fuyunji both openly and secretly.
However, things did not go as many people expected. On the day that Chen He's mouth was leaked, Lu Chen had taken the important criminal away from the prison of Fuyunji in an odd way.
This instantly shocked countless people. Even the Floating Clouds Agency was in an uproar.
It must be known that although the Floating Clouds Agency was founded by True Lord Tian Lan and they had been loyal and devoted to this famous True Lord for many years, ever since Lu Chen suddenly ascended to the position and became True Lord Tian Lan's only successor and disciple, the relationship between the Floating Clouds Agency, which was led by Xue Ying, and this upstart who had ascended to the heavens in a single step was rather subtle.
On the surface, everybody was still polite and close to each other when they met. After all, they were all on the same side. However, in private, inside Fuyunji, many voices were already spreading to Xue Ying's side, expressing their dissatisfaction.
For so many years, it had been Fuyunji that had fought against the Devil Cult with mountains of corpses and oceans of blood. It was widely acknowledged in the world of Cultivators that Fuyunji was the leading force against the Devil Cult, too. However, right now, although it did not seem to have been announced to the public, Lu Chen, who had not joined Fuyunji yet, had begun meddling in the hunting of the Devil Cult and was showing signs that he was going to seize all the power.
In the decades since Lord Tianlan founded Fuyunji, it had gradually developed into a powerful organization that was powerful enough to look down on the entire Zhenxianmeng. With such a development, there was no telling how many people had benefited from it.
Although Lu Chen looked polite on the surface, his actual actions showed that he was going to seize the fruits of benefits. Even though he was Lord Tianlan's disciple, his subordinates quickly disliked him.
Of course, Lord Tianlan's position was too high and his reputation was too great. Nobody dared to say anything to him. However, Lu Chen was just an ordinary person. Who would listen to him so easily?
As a result, the Floating Clouds Company quickly responded. While sending people outside to politely ask for Lu Chen's release, the Floating Clouds Company's internal leaders, led by Xue Ying, grabbed the people from the prison and scolded them harshly. Everyone said, "Have you prison guards stayed in that dark dungeon for too long? Have you all become stupid?"
The safest place in the world to imprison the devil cult's evildoers was the prison in Fuyunji. how could they just let him be taken away so easily? Not to mention that Chen He was probably the only captive who knew the whereabouts of Elder Gui. What if something happened to him if he was taken away?
What if the trail was cut off and they could never catch that old tortoise again? Can you idiots who look after the prison bear this responsibility?
This series of questions that came like a barrage of bullets frightened the prisoners and guards. One by one, they knelt on the ground and complained. Then, one of them boldly told the truth. He said that they had tried to stop him that day. How could they dare to let such an important criminal go? If something happened to him, would they still want to live?
But …
But what? Xue Ying and many other Fuyunji leaders asked in shock and anger.
But Lu Chen, that bastard, suddenly took out Lord Tianlan's personal keepsake. And as if he knew that it was not easy to explain, he actually took out a personal order from Lord Tianlan. It clearly stated that the criminal Chen He was to be taken away by Lu Chen.
No matter how strong Fuyunji was, no matter how great their influence was, Lord Tianlan was still their sky. No matter what, they could not surpass him …
Xue Ying and the others looked at each other, then ordered someone to take the personal letter and pass it around. After a while, in the silent and oppressive atmosphere, Xue Ying stood up and expressionlessly said, "It is indeed Lord Tianlan's handwriting." Then, she turned around and left.
…
Zhenxianmeng was the most powerful organization in the vast cultivation world of the Divine Continent. There were many experts and countless cultivators. What was interesting was that in such a powerful alliance, it was like a wall with holes in all directions. There were almost no secrets that could be kept.
What happened in Fuyunji spread very quickly. Of course, this kind of thing was not particularly open to the public. Some people with hidden power and great abilities naturally knew about it. As for many people who were not powerful enough, they did not know about it.
In the news that spread, there were some vivid and vivid descriptions that made people feel as if they were there. In particular, the Fuyunji leaders who held high positions, especially the group of old ministers and old confidants led by Xue Ying, made people feel that there was a gap and conflict between these powerful people and "Sky Shadow" who was very likely to inherit Lord Tianlan's huge foundation in the future.
In the past few decades, this was the first time that something like this had happened under Lord Tianlan, who was at the peak of his power.
After Lu Chen took Chen He out of Fuyunji's prison, of course, he did not just find a random place to lock him up. In fact, the people in Fuyunji claimed that this prison was the safest place in the world to lock up the remnants of the Devil Cult. This was also one of the reasons why the people in Fuyunji were angry.
But soon, everyone was speechless. Because according to the news that came, Lu Chen carried Chen He, who was tied up like a dumpling from head to toe, out of Fuyunji's prison, and directly entered the Kunlun Hall.
Then, the news that came was that he found a sturdy room at the side of the hall and threw Chen He inside.
This time, the people in Fuyunji looked at each other, speechless for a long time. No matter how tight the security of Fuyunji's prison was, it could not be compared to Lord Tianlan's, could it? If there was a safer place in the world than Fuyunji's prison to lock up the Devil Cult's prisoners, it would probably be beside Lord Tianlan …
In short, although Lu Chen's action made many people dissatisfied, in the end, no one could say anything, so the criticism gradually subsided.
And in the midst of this uproar, Lord Tianlan did not say a word from beginning to end, as if he did not know what was happening below.
It was not until the third day after Chen He was caught and brought to the Kunlun Hall that Lord Tianlan called Lu Chen over and asked him, "I say, you've made such a big commotion, why don't you go and arrest him?"
Lu Chen asked, "Arrest who?"
Lord Tianlan said, "Old Tortoise, haven't you always wanted to catch that person and then eradicate the Devil Cult?"
Lu Chen snorted and said, "That's your idea, isn't it? Hasn't everything you've done over the years been for this purpose?"
Lord Tianlan laughed and did not deny it. He said, "More or less. Of course, I hope so too."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "I know what I'm doing. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Lord Tianlan stared at him for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "Okay." With that, he turned around and walked away. But just as he took two steps, he suddenly heard Lu Chen's voice behind him. "Oh yes, I have another question … Master?"
"Master?" Perfected Lord Tianlan's footsteps paused for a moment and he turned to look at Lu Chen. "I've never heard you call me that before. It's rare for you to do so today. Why, what do you want to ask me? "
Lu Chen took a light breath and asked calmly, "I want to ask you, many years ago, when I was an orphan who wandered the streets without parents, did you take in anyone else besides me?"
"Hmm?" Lord Tianlan suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Chen with his deep eyes, but he did not say anything immediately.
For a moment, the huge Kunlun Great Hall fell into silence.
