"There's nothing to be concerned about. He's just a stray dog who's old and feeble. Apart from barking a few times, he can't do much in the current situation." Perfected Lord Tianlan's expression did not change as he said indifferently, "If we can catch him, we'll eliminate him. If we can't, he won't be able to do much anyway. Why should we care about him?"
Lu Chen did not say anything else. He just turned his head silently and looked at the boundless night outside. Then, he raised his head and drank.
…
Although Perfected Lord Tianlan's words to Lu Chen were very calm and relaxed, he was the boss. He could say whatever he wanted. If his subordinates also had the same attitude, then there must be something wrong with their brains.
Of course, Lu Chen's brain was not damaged. Therefore, he very wisely pretended that he had not heard Perfected Lord Tianlan's words. He did not neglect any of the arrangements and preparations that should be made.
Chen He had been forced into a dead end. In the end, he still lowered his head in the face of reality. He was originally a person who was not even afraid of death. In the end, he found that he could not bear to die with a stain on his name. Not to mention that his family might even be tortured and killed by his fellows from the Devil Cult whom he had risked his life to protect. Since that was the case, what was the point of persevering and dying?
Therefore, it was better to change his way of living.
At this point in life, there was no turning back. There was only one path in front of him. Just thinking about it made him feel a little sad. Since there was such a gap in his mind, the remaining desires quickly broke through all his defenses like floodwaters. His past perseverance seemed to be worthless at this moment.
However, before he completely defected, Chen He only had one last insistence and request for Lu Chen: he wanted to see his family.
Lu Chen agreed.
Of course, this matter could not be separated from the all-powerful Fuyunji. Lu Chen directly found Xue Ying. These two were now the most powerful nobles under Perfected Lord Tianlan. Regardless of whether their previous relationship was a little delicate, after Lu Chen explained the situation to her, Xue Ying immediately agreed and began to act without hesitation.
Chen He's family was not settled in the most flourishing immortal city in the world. Even though there were many people here and it was as vast as the ocean, the True Immortal Alliance and the Floating Clouds Agency, which had a deep foundation, might really be searching for a needle in a haystack in this huge city.
Therefore, Chen He's family was settled in a small city 300 miles north of the immortal city. When Chen He made this request to Lu Chen, it was during the day. That night, a group of Fuyunji elites arrived at the small city called "Guihua".
This group was personally appointed by Xue Ying, but the leadership was given to Lu Chen. No matter how you looked at it, this seemed to be a tactful expression of goodwill from Xue Ying.
Moreover, other than the ten Fuyunji people, there were three more people in the group. They were all experts that the Kunlun Party had recently dispatched. It could be seen that Xue Ying seemed to be slowly integrating these new forces.
However, he did not know if it was a coincidence, but among these three people, Lu Chen knew two of them. One was Su Qingjun, the other was He Yi, and the last person was a complete stranger to him. Her name was Cai Jingyi, and she was also a Kunlun Party expert who had cultivated to the Jin Dan realm.
Including Lu Chen, this group had a total of 14 people, but only Lu Chen knew the final destination.
In reality, even in Fuyunji, there might be a few people who knew about tonight's operation, but the only one who knew the final goal and goal was Xue Ying.
Lu Chen led the group along the way. Although he did not say the final goal, everyone understood that this was an extremely important matter, so no one asked too many questions. However, on the way, Lu Chen's gaze would occasionally sweep over the two people he was familiar with.
Su Qingjun's expression was calm, as if there was no emotion on her face. Occasionally, when her gaze met Lu Chen's, she would also nod slightly in acknowledgment.
In comparison, He Yi's attitude was very complicated and ambiguous. Basically, he also kept a cold face throughout the journey, but when Lu Chen saw him, his reaction was very different from before. At first, he ignored him, cold and indifferent, but later on, who knew what he thought of along the way, his attitude gradually softened, and in the end, he even took the initiative to smile at Lu Chen.
Even with Lu Chen's rich experience, in front of this He Yi, he still could not guess what this person was thinking.
After rushing all the way, they finally reached the outskirts of Guihua City at night. Only then did the group know that this was the destination of their trip.
For the first time, Lu Chen told everyone the goal of this trip, which was to find and rescue Chen He's family, and then return to the Immortal City of Fuyunji.
Recently, many people in Zhenxianmeng had heard about the legend of the stubborn Chen He. Although no one had really come out to confirm it, and it seemed to be an unfounded rumor, but today, after hearing this news, everyone knew that Chen He had actually been instigated by this new disciple of Perfected Lord Tian Lan.
The attitudes of the ten people in Fuyunji immediately changed. Although because of the subtle difference in their positions, everyone maintained a certain distance, but these people who were selected by Xue Ying were of course the elites of Fuyunji, and were also people who had fought against the Devil Cult for many years. Of course, they understood how important it was to be able to instigate such a high-level person to defect. Therefore, when everyone looked at Lu Chen again, there was a hint of admiration in their eyes. They no longer thought of Lu Chen as an insignificant person who relied on Perfected Lord Tian Lan to advance.
Among the three from the Kunlun Party, Cai Jingyi probably did not know much about the Devil Cult, so her reaction was normal. Su Qingjun, on the other hand, was calm on the surface, her eyes bright, as if she was in a good mood. And He Yi, on the other hand, had a complicated expression. He stared at Lu Chen from the side, and did not speak for a long time.
In short, under everyone's different reactions, Lu Chen made the final arrangements, and then led the group straight to the northwest corner of the city, where Chen He's family lived.
For cultivators, this distance would only take them a short while to cover.
The night was silent, and there was no one on the long street. In front of them was a very ordinary looking house. The door was tightly shut. In the dead of the night, the faint cold wind blew at the corner of Lu Chen's clothes.
After that, a wave of strange sounds that seemed to be repressed, angry, fearful, and despairing could be heard intermittently. It was low and deep as it drifted through the darkness of the house. If it wasn't for the extraordinary hearing of a cultivator, it would really be difficult to hear it.
Lu Chen stood in front of the door. Just as he was about to push it open, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the top right corner of the wooden door. To his surprise, he saw that in the dark corner, there was a bloody handprint.
His face suddenly darkened, and his gaze turned cold.
