Although Oxen's sudden request was somewhat abrupt and surprising, Lu Chen did not dwell on it for too long. Anyway, this bull was Supreme Tian Lan's pet. Although he did not know why every time Tian Lan left Kunlun Mountain for the Immortal City, he did not bring Oxen with him and left it in Kunlun Mountain. But when the time came, as long as he said that Oxen had followed him, Supreme Tian Lan would not say anything.
Lu Chen had known this Oxen for a long time. He had seen it when he was young, so he felt some affection for it.
So he finally nodded, patted Oxen, and agreed.
Oxen mooed and seemed to be in a good mood. Atsu also seemed to be very happy.
Then, Lu Chen looked at White Lotus, who was standing at the side. He wanted to say something but stopped. After a moment of silence, he turned back to Oxen and Atsu and said, "Let's go back to the Immortal City."
He emphasized some words in this sentence and then walked forward. From beginning to end, he did not speak to White Lotus, as if he was somewhat ignoring this young girl. Atsu wagged its tail and followed. Before Oxen took a step, it suddenly glanced at the mountain in the distance where Winter Peak had once crashed. But it did not have any further reaction and followed behind Lu Chen.
One man and two beasts walked for a while. Lu Chen heard footsteps coming from behind. He sighed in his heart and then stopped to look back.
White Lotus caught up from behind and walked to his side without saying a word. She stared at him with a calm expression.
Lu Chen frowned and said, "You also want to go back to the Immortal City with me?"
"Yes." White Lotus nodded. Although she did not say much, her expression was calm, as if what she said was a matter of course. Her tone was very firm.
Lu Chen looked at her, and after a while, he said, "Why bother? It's been so hard for you to get the chance to come out. "
White Lotus said, "I have nowhere else to go."
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "No matter how big the world is, there will always be a place for you."
White Lotus snorted and said, "The world is so big. If I offend that person, there will be no place for me to stand."
Lu Chen stared into her eyes and said after a while, "That's not right."
White Lotus sneered, "Of course you don't care, you're not me. You're high and mighty with power in your hands, and you're in high spirits. How would you understand my situation? " She seemed to be a little angry. She clenched her teeth and said, "You can't go home. You can't sleep at night. You can't even tell if you'll live or die tomorrow. Do you understand?"
"I understand," Lu Chen said.
…
There was a sudden silence between the two. Oxen and Black Dog, who were standing to the side, seemed to have noticed something and looked in their direction.
White Lotus stared at Lu Chen, her chest rising and falling slightly. Her expression was one of surprise and anger. Lu Chen, however, didn't seem to care about her expression. He only said calmly, "The world is so big. How can there be no place for me to stand?"
White Lotus's expression darkened. She snorted and said, "I'm not like you, a loner. I have a big family behind me. If I can run, can they run too? "
Lu Chen wasn't moved by this deep and warm family bond at all. He didn't even show the slightest change in his expression. He said, "I don't believe it. If losing the Bai family could help you get rid of that damn baldy, you wouldn't even blink. Don't talk to me about this. "
White Lotus was so angry that she almost jumped up. She pointed at Lu Chen and scolded, "Do you think everyone is as cold-blooded as you?"
Lu Chen said, "Of course not. You're the only one who is like me."
White Lotus was speechless. She rolled her eyes and the anger on her face disappeared. Just as she was thinking about what to say, she saw that Lu Chen had turned around and continued to walk forward.
White Lotus frowned and caught up with him. She said, "What do you mean by this?"
Lu Chen didn't look at her. He just looked at the towering Dark Mountains in the distance and said lightly, "You're not anyone to me. I just said a few words casually. Whether you return to the Immortal City or not, it has nothing to do with me. "
White Lotus was silent. In the deep night, they still walked together, even if they each had their own thoughts.
There were some words that they didn't say out loud. Perhaps they didn't need to say much. They were all smart people and understood in their hearts.
How could there be so many excuses? How could there be so many reasons? The reason why they didn't want to take risks and return to the most prosperous and noisy giant city in the world was because they were unwilling to give up? They were reluctant to give up their talents and the expectations they had since they were young. Since they had tasted the taste of the infinitely beautiful scenery at the peak, how could they be willing to return to mediocrity for the rest of their lives?
It was said that if you take a step back, the sea and the sky would be wide open. But under the vast sea and sky, you, after all, are just a tiny ant.
…
When they walked further and further in the night and were about to disappear into the night, a figure suddenly emerged from the darkness on the earthen mountain at the edge of the forbidden area. With the help of the glimmer of light, it could be seen that this was the acting head of the Kunlun Party, Immortal Qian Deng.
There was no one beside him. He stood alone on the top of the earthen mountain. After his appearance, the strange thick fog seemed to be stirred. It suddenly rolled, like a pack of hungry wolves showing their ferocious faces to the food not far away. However, the invisible boundary still firmly blocked them. In the end, the fog could not cross the boundary.
Immortal Qian Deng didn't seem to care about the fog. He frowned slightly and looked at Lu Chen and the others who had entered the most important forbidden area of the Kunlun Party. For some reason, he didn't make it difficult for them to stay.
Very soon, the figures of Lu Chen and the others finally disappeared into the night.
Immortal Qian Deng shook his head. The expression on his face was complicated. He seemed to be full of thoughts. He turned around and looked at the extremely thick fog. A strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
How many more secrets were hidden in the majestic Kunlun under the thousand-year-old sect?
…
On the same night, tens of thousands of miles away on the Four Rivers Plain, the magnificent immortal city was still bustling and noisy. Even in the dead of night, it was still brightly lit.
In the Kunlun Hall on Mount Celestial Dragon, True Lord Tianlan, who was sitting cross-legged on a lotus throne, suddenly felt uneasy. He was unexpectedly a bit agitated.
As if he sensed something, he calmed down and pondered for a moment. Then, he got down from the lotus throne and floated to the ground. Then, he slowly walked out of the Kunlun Hall.
It was quiet all around. The night was dark. He stood in front of the grand hall and looked up at the sky.
He didn't know when it started, but a red light suddenly appeared and crossed the sky. Then, the red light was like a tide, covering the sky and the sun. It filled half of the sky, and just like a few days ago, it divided the entire sky into two halves.
No, it was not two complete halves.
On the ground, the burly bald man in a loose robe quietly looked at the night sky. He watched as the originally straight red line slowly surged forward like the waves of the sea. Wave after wave, it rushed through the center line and covered more of the night sky. It only stopped when it covered about ten percent of the sky.
The blood-red sky once again appeared in the human world.
It was reflected in his eyes like a strange painting. One could also faintly see that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a trace of a strange smile.
