In this world, the human heart was the most unpredictable thing. Most of the time, you would think that you already knew a person's character and behavior very well, but on a certain day, or when something unexpected happened, you would often see some other deeply hidden things that would shock you and make you feel incredulous.
Or perhaps, there would be a feeling that the past did not seem real.
This kind of thing happened to many people. Some people revealed it, and some people might not have the opportunity to do so in their entire lives. As for whether it was right or wrong, good or bad, it was up to each person to have their own opinions.
However, there was a kind of person who was particularly eye-catching when it came to this kind of thing, because this kind of huge change was bound to happen to them. They were patient, tenacious, lurking, and even wearing masks, living a familiar life. But one day, they suddenly threw away their masks, tore off their disguise, and revealed their true colors. Then, they caused pain and shock to everyone around them.
This kind of person had a dark and mysterious code name in Zhenxianmeng and Fuyunji, called the Shadow.
And in the secular world, there was a more common and vulgar and contemptuous name, called the traitor.
…
Until now, Lu Chen and the others had already discovered that Chen He was a very complicated person. He could be loyal to the so-called God Sect and would rather die than submit, but he could also turn hostile and ruthless in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, Chen He did not think that he was a traitor. He had his own opinion on this kind of thing. He felt that what Lu Chen had done in the past was a traitor, and he himself had been forced to make this choice when he was at the end of his rope.
He felt that he did not disappoint the world or the earth. After all, he had suffered so much for the God Sect, but he was still loyal and unyielding. However, those who he had repaid with his life had repaid him by harming his family.
This was intolerable. He had no choice but to rely on Zhenxianmeng and Fuyunji. It was all those bastards' fault!
Of course, the man named Lu Chen had done a lot of things during this period, and his methods were not honorable. However, Chen He was very smart and did not hold a grudge against him. He was the only descendant of the famous Lord Tianlan, and also a new noble in Zhenxianmeng. He was an important person who held great power, including the life and death of his whole family.
For such a person, he only needed to serve him loyally. It was useless to think about dissatisfaction and resentment. Moreover, his wife had said many good things about Lu Chen. In short, after Chen He put down the knot in his heart and relied on Zhenxianmeng, he immediately became a person who could adapt to circumstances.
Since he had already decided to rely on Lu Chen, he quickly began to show his ability in front of Lu Chen.
He began to lead Lu Chen, Xue Ying and Fuyunji's men to hunt down the remaining Evil Sect members and the remaining well-hidden spies in the huge Immortal City.
Yes, even after experiencing so many storms, there were still remnants of the Devil Sect in the Immortal City. This sect that had been passed down for thousands of years still had a deep foundation, and there were still people secretly lurking in the shadows that no one knew about.
However, Chen He was not an ordinary follower of the Evil Sect. His identity was extremely special. He was a messenger that was recently groomed by Elder Ghost. In the Immortal City, he had a status that was second only to one and above tens of thousands.
In other words, he knew far more secrets about the Evil Sect than most people. And this time, Chen He seemed to have gone all out. Once he turned hostile, he was even more ruthless and ruthless than the people of Fuyunji. He mercilessly killed his former comrades, with an attitude of not leaving a single blade of grass behind.
Thus, in the Immortal City, Fuyunji stirred up another reign of terror.
…
That year, the number of people killed by Fuyunji in the Immortal City was said to be unprecedented. Although it was not as exaggerated as a bloodbath, but many people in many places could smell the thick stench of blood. Then, in broad daylight, they saw some ordinary people being dragged out of their homes. Some were beaten up, some were killed on the streets. Then, to the onlookers who looked at each other in shock, they loudly announced that these were the remnants of the Evil Sect.
To show his loyalty, Chen He took the lead in front of Lu Chen and Xue Ying, and even personally killed five to six people. He was very heavy-handed and his methods were very fierce. He looked as if he was afraid that others would think that he did not hate the Evil Sect's sorcerers.
Lu Chen and Old Ma had been doing these things for the past few days. They had seen all of Chen He's methods. Most of the time, the two of them did not make a move. The ones charging in front were Chen He and the fierce elites of Fuyunji.
They found a place to watch. Old Ma said to Lu Chen in a low voice, "Why do I feel that there is something wrong with this person's heart."
Lu Chen looked forward, his expression did not change. He also lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense. He is doing things for us."
Old Ma sneered and shook his head, "I heard that he still thinks that he has a clear conscience?"
Lu Chen glanced at him and frowned, "Come on, Chen He has only chosen his own path. Naturally, he has to walk on this path. What's so strange about that?"
Old Ma snorted and did not say more about these things. He changed the topic and asked, "Isn't the most important thing now to catch that old tortoise? Why do we keep catching these small fries?"
Lu Chen said, "First, these are not small fries. They have hidden themselves so deeply. If it wasn't for Chen He, it would be almost impossible for us to dig them out. And after these people are dug out, the situation that the Evil Sect has been operating in the Immortal City for many years will almost completely collapse. This is very important. Secondly, Elder Ghost is cunning and suspicious. But no matter how he hides his tracks, he is like a mouse. He will always have a territory network. We are cutting off the blocked passages one by one. As long as that old tortoise still insists on not leaving the Immortal City, if this goes on, there will soon be a day where he has nowhere to escape to. "
Old Ma nodded. He did not seem to have much of an objection to Lu Chen's deduction. But after a moment, he suddenly asked curiously, "Say, why do you think that old tortoise Elder Ghost has been refusing to leave the Immortal City for so many years?"
Lu Chen's eyes flashed slightly and said, "There should be some secret in this big city that attracts him."
The two of them looked at each other. After a moment, they suddenly looked down at their feet at the same time.
The ground was thick and flat. It extended all the way into the distance. Screams sounded in front of them. Blood splattered everywhere. Fresh blood flowed out from the dead bodies, staining the ground red and seeping into the soil.
…
In the depths of the underground labyrinth, the blood moon flickered a few times. It seemed to be a little unstable. But it soon calmed down again. It emitted a strange blood red light, shining on the empty and strange city below.
After staying here for a few days, Supreme Gu Yue left today. After all, in the light of the blood moon, it had a lot of bad effects on the cultivators. He needed to take a break for a while. He, a Spirit Severing Perfected Lord, was already like this. The other cultivators of the Starry Hall were naturally affected even more. So after many days, there were much fewer people busy here.
At a glance, in the city in the blood light, there were probably less than 20 Starry Hall cultivators working. Compared to this huge city, the number of people was really pitiful. It could be said that there were almost none.
It was also under such circumstances, in a quiet house not far from the statue in the center of the city, in a well that had long dried up in the backyard, a light patter suddenly sounded.
After a moment, at the bottom of the dark well, a secret door made of a large piece of stone slowly opened.
