After becoming the leader of a force and grasping power, there would be all kinds of benefits. One of the most important benefits was that in most cases, the leader would no longer have to rush to the frontlines and risk his life to fight. The same reason also applied to the few trusted subordinates of the leader.
What was so good about fighting and risking their lives? There was always the danger of swords and axes, and their lives were in danger. Moreover, it was very unsightly to shout and roar in a fierce battle. There was no grace and majesty. How could it compare to standing at the back and giving orders in a safe place?
It was the most worthwhile thing in the world to let others do the dangerous things, and to take the credit and the fruits of the battle was the best thing in the world.
Of course, most things in this world were fair. Most people who could reach this level of status had experienced countless difficult trials and suffered untold hardships to reach this step. Although there were a few people who were lucky enough to reach the sky in a single step, there were still a few people who were lucky enough to reach the sky in a single step.
Old Ma had benefited from Lu Chen. At this moment, he did not rush to the frontlines to experience the bloody slaughter, which made him feel very lucky. However, he more or less felt a little uncomfortable. Later on, when he heard the sounds of fighting and miserable cries coming from the big house on the other side of the wall, he faintly felt a little ashamed. Then, he realized that it was probably because he didn't fight with his companions from the Floating Clouds Division and stood in a safe place, as if he was a deserter.
He could not help but look at Xue Ying and Lu Chen, who had already walked to the front and were standing side by side to observe the situation. Then he found that their faces were calm and indifferent, as if everything that was happening in front of them was a matter of course. There was not even a hint of anxiety or nervousness on their faces, let alone a hint of guilt.
Could it be that he was not thick-skinned enough?
As this thought flashed across Old Ma's mind, he suddenly heard a burst of exclamations and screams in the big house. A moment later, a man's voice suddenly roared loudly, "Who are you? How dare you kill innocent people in broad daylight?"
No one replied. Or rather, the most direct answer was the sound of blades clanging and shadows.
That man's voice was quickly interrupted. After a series of booming sounds, it was obvious that the voice was much weaker. At the same time, it carried a bit of mournfulness, anger and despair. He shouted sternly, "Let me tell you, this is the property of Heavenly Law Hall. Aren't you afraid of angering Supreme Tie Hu by doing this?"
"Hmm?" When these words reached them, Xue Ying, Lu Chen, and even Old Ma, who was standing to the side, were all startled, their expressions changing slightly.
Lu Chen immediately turned his head to look at Xue Ying. Xue Ying sensed his gaze and frowned slightly, but after a moment of silence, she shook her head and said, "I've investigated this family's background before, and there's no such thing."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, then nodded without saying anything. But Old Ma, who was standing beside him, hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and said in a low voice, "It could also be a private property that Supreme Tie Hu had secretly arranged, or an estate that belonged to someone else under his name. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned only Supreme Tie Hu by name, and not the other Supreme Lords. "
He paused for a moment, then said softly, "If we're not careful, I'm afraid that it might cause the two Lords to be unhappy and … fight."
Lu Chen frowned. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Once the bow is shot, there's no turning back. It's useless to say these things now."
Old Ma nodded, said no more, and stood back.
That was indeed the case. Currently, the big house was filled with the sounds of killing. Those who should be killed, many were killed, and those who should be killed, many died. How could they turn back?
As for what would happen later, if Supreme Tie Hu were to be angry and punish them, they could only rely on Supreme Tian Lan to bear the brunt.
Fortunately, after so many years, Perfected Lord Tian Lan did not disappoint in these matters.
…
When Lu Chen, Old Ma, and the others encountered difficulties and simply and crudely threw all the possible bad results to Supreme Tian Lan, the person whom they had high hopes on, uh, of course, could also be said to be the biggest scapegoat, the damned baldy whom Lu Chen often talked about, was standing in the underground city. In the blood-red light, he looked calm but somewhat solemn, staring at the dried-up well not far away in front of him.
He had inspected almost every place in the mansion, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Only this dry well in the wasteland of the backyard could be considered the last blind spot.
If there were no suspicious points here, even Supreme Tian Lan had to admit that he had probably sensed wrongly at that moment. There was no dangerous person here as he suspected.
At least for now, the mouth of the well was dry, cracked, and covered with dust. It seemed that it had not been used for many years, not to mention that there might be something hidden under it.
However, Perfected Lord Tianlan didn't intend to give up halfway. Although he wasn't sure if the outsider he suspected was hiding here, it wouldn't hurt to take a look at this place since it was the only place left.
Soon, he came to the edge of the mouth of the well. His tall figure covered the mouth of the well. Just when he was about to lean over to take a look, his body suddenly paused. Supreme Tian Lan suddenly raised his head and looked back.
An auspicious cloud flickered in the sky for a moment before dispersing. A moment later, the sound of footsteps could be heard. After a while, a silhouette appeared at the entrance of the house. The person hadn't arrived, but the sound had arrived first.
"I say, what are you doing here alone?" Along with the laughter, Supreme Gu Yue of the Starry Hall appeared in his sight. He walked over with a smile, and at the same time, he clicked his tongue in admiration. He looked around the house a few times, and then said to Supreme Tian Lan with a smile, "Could it be that you found some treasures buried by the Demon Clan? Let me tell you, if there's really such a good thing, you can't hide it from me. Everyone who sees it has a share! "
Perfected Lord Tianlan rolled his eyes, straightened his body at the entrance of the well, and turned around to face Perfected Gu Yue. "What treasure? Is there really such a thing? Your subordinates have almost turned this place upside down these days. What can't they find?" Perfected Lord Tianlan rolled his eyes.
Supreme Gu Yue did not refute and said with a smile, "Maybe their cultivation is too low and they can't find the hidden treasure."
Perfected Lord Tianlan scoffed and took two steps towards him with his hands clasped behind his back. "I was here a while ago. I felt that there was something strange in this house, as if someone was hiding here. That's why I came to take a look."
Supreme Gu Yue was shocked and said, "There's actually such a thing? Did you find the person?"
Supreme Tian Lan shook his head and said, "No." After a pause, he frowned and said, "That voice was too weak and soft. Did I hear wrongly?"
Gu Yue Perfected Monarch thought for a while, then pointed at the blood moon above her head and said: "Now that this place is constantly illuminated by the blood moon's radiance day and night, it greatly affects us cultivators. Perhaps you are also affected by the blood moon, that's why you made a mistake?"
Supreme Tian Lan hesitated for a while and then nodded slowly. He said, "What you said seems to make some sense."
Supreme Gu Yue smiled and made an inviting gesture. The two of them walked out side by side. At the same time, Supreme Gu Yue said, "When I came here today, I saw your subordinates from Fuyunji gathering and going down the mountain. It seems like they're going to do something big?"
Supreme Tian Lan looked at him and nodded. He said, "Yes, they told me that they're going to capture that Elder Gui and bring him to me today."
