In the dead of night, darkness shrouded the earth. In the main hall of Kunlun, there was still some light because there were some everlasting lamps that were lit in several places. However, this light was very weak and could not illuminate too far away.
It also could not shine on Lu Chen's body.
The Black Dog was lying next to Lu Chen. It did not sleep as it usually did, but looked a little uneasy. From time to time, it would turn its head to look around, but most of the time, it would look at the tall lotus throne in the center of the main hall. Although there was no one there at the moment, in its eyes, there seemed to be some vigilance and even hostility.
Perhaps the person who sat on it was too powerful, and one day, he was annoyed by the dog's barking and kicked it away.
In contrast, Lu Chen was much calmer. He sat quietly with his eyes closed from beginning to end. It was not until late at night when everything was quiet that he opened his eyes. After looking outside the main hall, he said to Atsu, "Let's go."
Atsu stood up, wagged its tail, and trotted towards the door. It did not seem to have any nostalgia for this place, and seemed to dislike it very much.
Lu Chen also walked out of the main hall. The few spots of light in the main hall of Kunlun could not extend outside at all, so the darkness rushed in like a tide, crowding him in the shadows.
Atsu turned its head to look at him. Perhaps because it was standing in the darkness, Lu Chen suddenly found that its eyes had turned into a light green again. It was a little different from when it came to Immortal City. The color was a little lighter, but it was clearer, like a gem that had a little dust on its surface, becoming more beautiful.
He smiled and reached out to touch Atsu's head. Then, he strode down the stairs and walked into the darkness of the night.
…
In the conversation before he left, Perfected Lord Tianlan had already explained most of the things to Lu Chen. As for why he did not personally make a trip for such a confidential matter, Perfected Lord Tianlan also explained the reason to Lu Chen. He said that it was a critical moment in Zhenxianmeng where undercurrents were surging and danger lurked everywhere. He really could not leave and had to guard the situation here. Once he left the city rashly, a great change would probably occur.
To this day, Zhenxianmeng had almost annihilated the Devil Cult and the world had submitted to him. Fuyunji's name was known throughout the world and everyone was in awe of him. Whether it was Zhenxianmeng or Lord Tianlan, their reputation and prestige were at the peak for the past hundreds of years. But now, Perfected Lord Tian Lan said that danger lurked everywhere? But he said that a great change was about to happen?
Lu Chen did not refute this nor did he ask further. He just calmly accepted this strange and important secret mission. Then, after announcing to the public that he was in seclusion, he quietly left the giant city where the center of power in the cultivation world was located.
For many years, he seemed to be a person born in the dark. Whenever the night came, he would appear especially like a fish in water and could even do some things that ordinary people could not imagine.
Of course, this night, he would no longer transform into the cold murderous shadow killer in his dusty memory. He just quietly took Atsu and hurriedly left the Immortal City.
There were no accidents along the way and the journey was very smooth. Although it was not a particularly gratifying thing, the moment Lu Chen walked out of the Immortal City, he still felt a sense of relief.
When he turned his head and looked into the distance, he suddenly realized that the city that was like a giant beast quietly creeping in the darkness of the night, he actually felt a kind of unconsciously tension and pressure every day he was in there.
Lu Chen stood where he was for a while and then let out a long sigh. He turned around and called out to Ah-Tu, who looked far more excited than he was, who was happily scuttling through the bushes in the surrounding wilderness, sniffing, sniffing and jumping madly. Lu Chen was about to continue on his way.
But at this moment, Lu Chen and Atsu, who was running over not far away, suddenly sensed something and turned their heads to look at a certain place hundreds of feet away.
It just so happened to be the border between the Immortal City and the outside world. Under the dim light and shadows of the night, a few figures suddenly soared into the sky and quickly descended. Then, they started fighting fiercely in the darkness.
The sound of weapons clashing, roars, cold snorts, and screams quickly spread out in the oppressive atmosphere. It seemed that a few people were besieging a young girl, and both sides were very fierce and decisive. Every time they attacked, it seemed like they wanted to kill the other party completely.
Lu Chen frowned and looked over there for a while. At this moment, Atsu had already run to his side, and after a while, Lu Chen suddenly said in a low voice, "It seems to be White Lotus?"
Atsu did not confirm or deny it. He tilted his head and stood there without moving, looking like he did not have the slightest intention of going over to help.
Lu Chen thought for a while, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face. This timing was indeed a bit too coincidental. Nothing happened before, nothing happened after, but on the night he quietly left the Immortal City, White Lotus also wanted to leave? And then be discovered and hunted down?
After pondering for a while, Lu Chen shook his head, turned around, patted Atsu's head, and said faintly, "It has nothing to do with us, let's go."
After saying that, he went straight away and didn't look at the fierce battle in the distance any longer.
Atsu snorted, but turned back to look at White Lotus's fierce battle. But no matter how one looked at it, the dog's expression and gaze seemed to be somewhat gloating, as if it kept muttering in its heart, "Die, die quickly …"
After muttering a few words, Atsu ran away, and after a while, it caught up with Lu Chen in front, wagging its tail and looking particularly happy. A man and a dog walked into the distant night just like that.
…
"Cruel and unscrupulous! Bastard! Stinky man! "
In the midst of the fierce battle, White Lotus felt as if her chest was about to explode with anger. She glanced at the man and dog in the distance, mercilessly turning around and leaving. Then she thought about her mission of chasing after Lu Chen, and how she had even thought about secretly hinting at the possibility of getting along with Lu Chen. She felt extremely wronged.
Well, the reason why she thought so was because she was not stupid. She could see that although Supreme Lord Tianlan still did not completely trust his disciple, Lu Chen, Lu Chen was, after all, the only disciple he had personally chosen. The fundamental purpose of what he did was actually to dispel her suspicion, and then she could truly trust Lu Chen.
Based on this alone, Lu Chen's position in the heart of the damn baldy was incomparable.
Because other people didn't even have the qualifications to make Perfected Lord Tianlan suspicious. For example, she herself. Perfected Lord Tianlan wouldn't send someone to test her because he didn't care and didn't have the intention to trust her.
She knew that Lu Chen's future might really be limitless. She knew that even though she had been a proud daughter of heaven since she was young, and that her talent was unparalleled, all of this seemed worthless in the face of true power and supreme figures. She really wanted to curry favor with Lu Chen, take the opportunity to quickly make friends with him, show kindness to him, and let him take care of her in the future … However, she did not expect that Lu Chen did not intend to come at all.
"Does he look down on me?" White Lotus was a little frightened, and then it turned into anger.
The surrounding killers were still fiercely besieging. White Lotus was angry, and her face was as cold as frost. She suddenly attacked fiercely, and at the same time, she gnashed her teeth and said, "Damn baldy, you sent me to do something, but you didn't tell these lackeys. Are you deliberately messing with me?"
