The mechanism of the secret door was very intricately made. The stone used to make the secret door was not light, but when it was moved, it was almost silent. No one knew which skilled craftsman made it.
The dry well was very deep, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Looking up from the bottom of the well, there seemed to be only a narrow sky.
The sky was still blood-red.
The bright red light of the blood moon could not reach the bottom of the deep dry well, so it was shrouded in darkness. When a dark figure slowly walked out of the darkness, he looked like a ghost.
There was a faint light in the darkness. When the figure slowly raised his head, he found that the light was actually a strange fluorescence emitted from his eyes. He raised his head and looked at the small hole high up, as if he was thinking about something. With the help of the weak light, one could vaguely see that the mysterious figure's face was covered with a sinister and strange mask.
The next moment, the light suddenly disappeared. The figure stood in the darkness, motionless, like a piece of rotten wood that had been standing there for many years, lifeless.
After a while, on the high ground, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps. Then, it seemed that there were two people talking and walking over from not far away.
No one approached the lifeless, ordinary, dry well. They did not even take a second look at it.
When the footsteps gradually disappeared, the mysterious masked man in the darkness slowly opened his eyes again. The strange fluorescence appeared in the darkness again. He looked coldly at the hole leading to the outside, as if he was deep in thought.
…
"How have you been doing recently?" Supreme Tianlan looked at Lu Chen and asked.
At this moment, in the quiet hall of Kunlun, Supreme Tianlan and Lu Chen sat opposite each other. There was no one else around, and both of them were very relaxed.
Leaning against the originally solemn lotus throne, Lu Chen held a wine jar in his hand and drank from it from time to time.
After hearing Tianlan's words, Lu Chen put down the wine jar in his hand and said, "It's not bad. After Chen He defected to us, he led us to dig out many spies of the Evil Cult. Except for Elder Ghost, we have basically wiped out the Evil Cult's forces in Immortal City."
As he said that, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Also, during this period of time, the cooperation with the Floating Clouds Company has been going well. However, it won't be that fast. After all, they are all proud soldiers that you personally trained. It won't be that easy for them to submit to you. Anyway, let's wait for a few more days, they are probably slowly accepting me. "
Supreme Tianlan nodded, looking quite satisfied and said, "You did better than I thought. It seems that my judgment is not bad, at least I didn't misjudge you all these years."
Lu Chen clicked his tongue twice, raised his head, and took a big gulp of wine. After swallowing it, he said leisurely, "Actually, it's all thanks to you that I have a backer. When I have nothing to do, I will use you to boost my courage and pressure others. From time to time, I will remind the people of the Floating Clouds Agency that I have you backing me. I am also your only disciple, the future successor of the foundation. If they don't cooperate with me or don't listen to my orders, I will immediately come back to complain. So, they are probably still afraid of you, so they have no choice but to obey me like this. "
Supreme Tianlan was startled for a while, then he laughed and slapped his knee. He said with a smile, "Kid, you are indeed black-hearted and thick-skinned. Won't you anger Xue Ying and the others to death by doing this?"
Lu Chen said, "That won't happen. I have always respected Hall Master Xue Ying and rarely use my power to bully people. I always discuss things calmly. It's only because her subordinates are used to being arrogant that I used this method. "
Supreme Tianlan smiled and seemed to be in a good mood. He pointed at Lu Chen and said with a smile, "You are probably the only person in the world who dares to do this. How did those people react after you used your power to bully them?"
Lu Chen thought for a while and couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Probably disgusted but have no choice but to give in. It's quite fun." As he said this, he looked at Supreme Tianlan and said, "What's wrong, do you think there's a problem with this method? If you really think it's inappropriate, then I won't use it in the future. "
Supreme Tianlan rolled his eyes and said, "Use it, continue using it for me. As long as it's effective, use it."
Lu Chen seemed to have expected him to say that, so he was not surprised. He just smiled and raised the wine jar to Perfected Lord Tianlan to show his respect and gratitude. Then, he continued to drink.
True Lord Tianlan didn't care that his disciple had no scruples in front of him. He continued, "If you really follow the rules of this old man's foundation, just like the disciples of the Kunlun Sect, who are so serious that they look like saints, it would be strange if you can do anything well in this old man's foundation. Even if I pass the foundation to you in the future, it will probably fail in a few years at most. "
Lu Chen coughed and reminded Supreme Tianlan, "Don't forget, you are the grand emperor and old ancestor of the Kunlun Party. Watch your words."
Supreme Tianlan glared at him and said, "Bullsh * t, I've been cultivating and fighting for my entire life. Can't I even say something now?"
Lu Chen was speechless. After a while, he waved his hand and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, alright. You're a Soul Formation Perfected Lord. You're amazing. You can indeed say whatever you want …"
Perfected Lord Tianlan chuckled. Of course, there was no real anger in his eyes when he looked at Lu Chen. Instead, there was a hint of admiration and gratification. "Kid, work hard. I have high hopes for you."
Lu Chen rolled his eyes and couldn't help but shudder. "What do you mean by that? Do you feel like you've encountered something and you want to make arrangements for your funeral? That's scary!"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan laughed out loud with an extremely carefree expression. He then said proudly, "Who in the world can go against me?"
Lu Chen also laughed and looked at the damn baldy with a strange gaze. After a while, he sighed and said, "I say, I've been drinking all day today. Why do I feel like you're a little drunk?"
"I'm happy that I have a great future ahead of me!" Supreme Tianlan said, "But now, it seems like you're the only one I can chat with in the world. It's the right decision to take you in as my disciple. We've barely seen each other in the past ten years. Now, we can often have a chance to chat alone like this. It's not bad. "
Lu Chen was slightly surprised. He looked at Supreme Tianlan as if he didn't expect such a high and mighty figure to say something like that to him. However … were those words from the bottom of his heart?
Should he believe it?
Lu Chen didn't know. He only saw that the person in front of him was living a happy life and had an intimidating aura. He was at the peak of a person's life and even Lu Chen couldn't help but feel respect for him.
If there were no gods in the world, then Supreme Tianlan should be the person closest to a demigod right now, right?
If there were gods in the world, such as those worshiped by the devil sects, then this damn baldy would probably be the person who had the highest chance of defeating them?
It was probably no wonder that he was so arrogant given how talented and powerful he was and how he looked down on the world.
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard Supreme Tianlan ask him again, "By the way, I heard that you've been drinking more and more recently. Is there something wrong with you?"
Lu Chen was stunned and suddenly frowned. "How did you know about that? Could it be that Old Ma told you?"
