Although they did not manage to catch Elder Ghost in that arrest, but this operation was still like giving the Evil Faction, which was already on its last breath, a heavy stab, stabbing into the heart, hurting into the bones. From that day onwards, the ghost-like shadow that had been floating in the Immortal City for many years finally quieted down.
There was no more movement about the Evil Sect, nor any news related to Elder Ghost. Everything seemed to have sunk into the water, into the darkness, and from then on, there was no more sound.
Most of the people thought that the Evil Sect's power was gone and there was no turning back. Xue Ying, Lu Chen, Old Ma, and that Chen He who sought refuge, all thought so.
All the power was wiped out, even if Elder Ghost was still on the run, even if he still had a little possibility to stir up some waves in the future, but to rebuild the Evil Sect in front of such a powerful Zhenxianmeng was still too difficult.
Sky Dragon Mountain calmed down. Of course, that was only on the surface. In the era of prosperity, the undercurrent under the huge organization would never stop, there would always be all kinds of things happening. After eliminating the foreign enemies, it was time for everyone to plot against each other for their own interests. No, it could even be said that this era had already arrived. Everyone was already very familiar with the open and veiled struggles.
The only difference was that in the past, there was still Fuyunji. Because of the persistence of Lord Tian Lan and some other reasons, he kept chasing and biting the Evil Sect like a mad dog. Relying on Lord Tian Lan's rare talent, relying on Fuyunji's growing strength, and all kinds of ruthless and decisive methods, the Evil Sect was slowly suppressed, and Zhenxianmeng won the reputation of the world.
Now it was a new era, it was time to do something else.
For example, they would stab their partners who were also allies of the Immortal Alliance and the Righteous Path with a smile, snatch their business, curse them, spread rumors, and then criticize them righteously. In the end, once they gained power, they would kill their friends.
Finally, this era had arrived!
…
"Have you been waiting for this day for a long time, or have you been resisting for this day to come?"
That day, when Lu Chen and Lord Tian Lan were chatting in the Kunlun hall, he asked him directly.
Lord Tian Lan thought for a while, then said with indifference and arrogance, "Never thought about it. Anyway, with my current achievements, it should be others who plot against me, right?"
Lu Chen did not believe a word he said, "Nonsense, I don't believe you when you say you don't plot against others!"
Lord Tian Lan laughed and said, "Brat, can't you say something nice?"
Lu Chen said, "Oh, Master is kind, humble, and gentle. You should be careful of the people in the Celestial Alliance who have evil intentions and want to harm you. You can't underestimate them."
Lord Tian Lan clapped and smiled, nodded and said, "Well said."
Lu Chen rolled his eyes and said after pondering for a moment, "What should we do next?"
Lord Tian Lan said, "That old tortoise is hiding somewhere right now and refuses to come out no matter what. It's indeed hard to find, but we can't just give up. Don't bother about this for now and leave it to Xue Ying and Fuyunji. "
Lu Chen nodded.
Lord Tian Lan continued, "I have something important that I need your help with and it has to be you."
When Lu Chen saw Lord Tian Lan retract his smile and turn solemn at this point, he could not help but be stunned. He sat up straight and nodded. "What is it?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan glanced out of the hall and saw Mount Sky Dragon standing tall and majestic under the clear skies. He narrowed his eyes slightly with a deep gaze. After a moment, he said, "Make a trip back to Kunlun on my behalf …"
The forest was quiet and the wind blew through the majestic mountain. In the quiet hall in the afternoon, there was only a soft and low voice that floated in the hall. It was like a strand of lonely wind that lingered and didn't fade away, and it was telling a secret that no one knew.
…
Atsu lay lazily under the shade of a tree outside of Kunlun's hall. Its dog eyes were half-closed and it looked like it was dozing off. However, when a familiar voice came from afar, Ah-Tu's body quivered, and he immediately opened his eyes. His eyes were bright, and his drowsiness disappeared without a trace.
Lu Chen stood on the stone steps and smiled at it, waving his hand.
Atsu jumped up and ran over while barking. It rushed to Lu Chen's side and rubbed its head against his body intimately.
Lu Chen patted its head and looked back at the majestic Kunlun's hall thoughtfully. A complicated expression appeared on his face.
After a moment, Lu Chen said, "Let's go, Atsu. We're going on a long trip."
Since they were going on a long trip, it was impossible for them to leave just like that. Lu Chen first returned to his residence and tidied up before leaving for Fuyunji.
It had been a long time since Atsu had followed him like this. However, this black dog did not seem to be unfamiliar to him. It ran back and forth and sniffed around, just like before.
Lu Chen arrived at Fuyunji's hall and asked someone to inform him. Not long after, he saw Xue Ying.
Xue Ying smiled when she saw him and said, "I haven't been here for a while. Let me tell you about catching Elder Gui. That old turtle is really cunning. I really don't know where he is hiding. However, we didn't come out empty-handed. Three days ago … "
Lu Chen smiled and waved his hand. "Hall Master Xue, you can make the decision on this matter. I won't interfere. When it comes to dealing with the Demonic Cult, no one in the world can beat you. Even when Master ordered me to come over a while ago, it was just to help you from the side and help you balance the relationship with the new experts of the Kunlun Party. "
Xue Ying was slightly startled. Her smile became even sweeter. She covered her mouth and said, "What are you saying? When did you learn to flatter?"
Lu Chen laughed heartily and said, "Of course not. Oh right, I came here today to say hello to Hall Master. The cultivation method that Master passed on to me is quite difficult. In the next few days, I have to go into seclusion in Kunlun's hall. I'm afraid that I can't manage the affairs of the outside world for a while. I can only come and trouble Hall Master Xue. "
Xue Ying raised her eyebrows. She then nodded and said, "I see. Cultivation is the duty of us cultivators. Your future is boundless. You carry the expectations of the Monarch, so of course you have to put this matter first. As for the other mundane matters, let me handle them. You can rest assured and cultivate. "
Lu Chen smiled and cupped his hands. "Thank you very much."
The two of them chatted for a while and handed over some of the chores during the conversation. Lu Chen then took his leave, turned a corner, and found Old Ma again. He told him exactly what he had said.
Old Ma looked very envious. He smiled and said, "Go and cultivate well. Maybe when you come out of seclusion, you will amaze the world with a single brilliant feat."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "How can that be possible? Anyway, buy more wine when the time comes. Let's drink together."
Old Ma laughed and agreed.
Lu Chen left with Atsu. Along the way, intentionally or unintentionally, he passed by the outside of Su Qingjun's residence. His gaze fell on the door for a long time. But in the end, he walked over in silence.
Just like that, he returned to Kunlun's hall. He brought Atsu and sat in a quiet corner. When night came, darkness came from all directions. In the silence, Lu Chen blended into the shadows of darkness that he had not seen for a long time.
