Unlike the scene of many Starry Hall's disciples bustling about in the underground maze a while ago, this huge underground city was still shrouded in a strange blood-red light, but almost no one could be seen as far as the eye could see.
The people of Starry Hall who were working here had already evacuated, perhaps because of the omnipresent and elusive strange aura, or because they had already done what they should do. In the huge underground city, many tall buildings stood silently. They were empty, but they seemed to be quietly waiting for their owners to return at some point in time.
A tall and burly figure appeared in this huge underground cave and walked into the long street of the underground city. When the light from the blood moon in the sky shone on his head, it would occasionally refract a strange halo.
Starry Hall had already sealed this place and did not allow outsiders to enter or leave. Even most of the other halls in Zhenxianmeng were the same. However, Perfected Lord Tian Lan was an exception. Looking from afar, his wide sleeves fluttered as he walked, making him look like he was walking in a sea of blood.
Every step he took seemed to leave a blood-red footprint on the ground.
The empty city looked especially cold and murderous. However, as he gradually walked into this city that was bathed in the blood-red light, some strange and distorted runes gradually appeared in his line of sight.
These runes were carved on the road, the corner of the wall, the door frame, the stone and all sorts of corners. They seemed to be unrelated, but in fact, they were indistinctly independent.
At a certain moment, after True Lord Tian Lan's footsteps crossed an invisible boundary, suddenly, like a stone thrown into calm water, a series of ripples abruptly appeared around his body.
The light and shadow in the air suddenly twisted and trembled, as if a wall of water was erected in front of him and swayed. It twisted into a strange mirror image in front of Perfected Lord Tian Lan, reflecting his shadow. It was as if another version of him had suddenly appeared in front of him, staring at him coldly.
Perfected Lord Tianlan's expression did not change as he looked at his other self indifferently before walking over.
His body passed through the figure and continued forward without a sound. The figure actually turned around and looked at his back. Then, it began to tremble and gradually dissipated into the air.
The surroundings were silent, as if it had suddenly quietened down.
Actually, after the Starry Hall disciples left, there was basically no sound in this underground cave. It was very quiet. However, when one was inside, there would more or less be some sounds, for example, the sound of unknown insects in certain corners, or the sound of wind drifting from the corner of a certain cave entrance.
However, after crossing that invisible line, all the sounds in the city suddenly disappeared.
It was a true silence that seemed to isolate all sounds outside of that invisible boundary.
Perfected Lord Tianlan looked around and nodded slowly. There was a hint of satisfaction on his face. Then, he continued to walk forward until he reached the center of the underground city, next to the huge statue that connected the ground and the dome of the subterranean cavern.
Perfected Lord Gu Yue of the Starry Hall was sitting here a few times before. The two of them would chat when they met. However, it was rare that even Perfected Lord Gu Yue was not around this time. It could be considered as truly empty.
Perfected Lord Tianlan pondered for a moment. His gaze fell on the spot where Perfected Lord Gu Yue usually meditated. After a while, he walked over and stood there.
Everything seemed to be the same. The only difference was that he was a little closer to the statue.
After a while, when Perfected Lord Tianlan looked up at the sky, he soon realized that when he looked at the blood moon from this position, he seemed to be able to see a gap in the red light around the blood moon. In that gap, the blood moon seemed to be rotating slowly.
In the past, there were no gaps around the blood moon at all. This place was clearly something that had appeared not long ago.
Perfected Lord Tianlan smiled and did not seem to be too bothered. Then, he walked to the side of the statue and reached out his thick and broad palm to press on it.
It was ice-cold.
The statue did not move.
But after a while, something seemed to throb behind the stone. Then, a terrifying aura suddenly rushed out from the depths of the statue. The aura was ferocious, and the number seemed to be unbelievably large. It was as if there were tens of thousands of evil spirits imprisoned in this huge statue. Then, at this moment, they suddenly felt the aura of the flesh and blood of a living person, and immediately surged out like raging waves.
The statue remained motionless, as if all the movements had nothing to do with it. However, in the depths of the stone, a terrifying roar seemed to come from the depths of the netherworld. Wave after wave, wave after wave, endlessly, crazily rushed towards Perfected Lord Tianlan.
Thud, thud, thud …
A strange and deep sound slowly rang out. It was originally extremely soft and almost inaudible to ordinary people. However, in the middle of this extremely quiet underground city, it was exceptionally clear and made one's hair stand on end.
However, there was no fear on Perfected Lord Tianlan's face. He even looked at the stone surface of the huge statue in front of him with a look of disdain.
He slowly raised his hand and gradually left the stone surface.
As if sensing that the warm aura of flesh and blood was gradually leaving, the strange voices behind the stone suddenly became agitated. All sorts of strange, mournful, and terrifying roars rose and fell, shouting at the top of their lungs. However, they were imprisoned by the stone and all their desires were destined to turn into nothingness.
The hand left the stone surface.
"Weng!" Like a string suddenly hitting a high note, all the noise suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed in the first place.
The statue was still a statue and the stone surface was still a stone. There was no change and no strange things appeared again.
Perfected Lord Tianlan looked down indifferently. His gaze landed on the place where the statue was deeply buried in the ground. A pondering expression appeared on his face as he raised his head to look at the blood moon above his head. In the end, he suddenly let out a soft sigh and muttered to himself, "It should be soon. There's only one last step left …"
Before he finished speaking, Perfected Lord Tianlan's body suddenly paused and he raised his eyebrows. He instantly turned around and his eyes were cold and bright. An indescribable aura suddenly surged in all directions like a huge flood.
At that moment, even the omnipresent blood-red light seemed to avoid this burly figure.
Then, the surroundings became silent. There was no sound at all and no trace of anyone.
However, Perfected Lord Tian Lan's eyes, which were as deep as the night, were rippling as he coldly swept his gaze across the surroundings. After a while, his gaze slowly stopped at a house near the city.
As the light floated, it passed through the doors and windows, the courtyard, the empty corridors, the stone paths, the wasteland, and then a deep well that had long dried up.
A dark shadow was hiding in the depths of the well. There was no warmth or aura from its body. It was like a natural stone that silently stayed in the darkness.
Everything happened just now. When the terrifying and strange aura from the statue appeared and disappeared in an instant, his heart beat slightly faster.
…
In the distance, Perfected Lord Tianlan stared at the house and frowned.
