Lu Chen and his group left Kunlun Mountain under the cover of the night. They did not delay on their journey as they moved forward in the direction of the Immortal City. However, the Immortal City was still thousands of miles away from the Western Land. Although they were all cultivators, it would still take them a long time to get there.
As a famous mountain sect, Kunlun Mountain was inextricably linked to Lu Chen and White Lotus. However, for some reason, the two of them did not seem to have any nostalgia for this place. They left without hesitation and even seemed to be eager to leave this place as soon as possible. They did not want to see this mountain again.
About three days later, they finally left Kunlun Mountain behind. Even when they occasionally looked back, they could not see the mountain most of the time.
Along the way, Atsu and Oxen followed them. Atsu was very interested in Oxen and often followed Oxen to communicate with it. Although they did not understand what Atsu barked meant, Oxen did not seem to hate this black dog. At most, it was too lazy to pay attention to it.
In addition, Atsu would usually run to Lu Chen to get close to him for a while. Except for White Lotus, Atsu seemed to have always been very wary of White Lotus and would not easily get close to her.
Of course, White Lotus also felt that Atsu was alienating them, but she did not care. During this period of time, the girl seemed to be a lot quieter. In fact, most of the time, she would often peek at Oxen from the side.
On this day, they had walked for another day. In addition to the previous few days of rushing, both humans and beasts were a little tired. Lu Chen decided to rest tonight. Finally, he looked around and found a small forest by the side of the road to rest.
The forest was not too big, but it was dense enough to shelter them from the wind. If there was no one to guide them, it was difficult to find people in the forest from the outside. On the contrary, people hiding in the forest could see the situation outside the forest more clearly. It could be regarded as a good place, hidden and safe.
Lu Chen and White Lotus looked around and were very satisfied. As for Atsu and Oxen, Lu Chen decided not to ask for their opinions.
In the end, everyone settled down in this forest and prepared to rest for the night before continuing their journey the next morning.
…
When night fell, everyone had already settled down in the forest, roughly forming a triangle. Oxen was in one corner, White Lotus was in another corner, and Atsu was lying together with Lu Chen in the last corner.
It was strange. Although Atsu and Oxen were almost glued together during the day, when it was time to sleep, Atsu would definitely run back to Lu Chen and stay by his side. Even if it was in a daze, it would still stay with Lu Chen.
Perhaps, this was also a kind of attachment?
Lu Chen wasn't sure why Atsu was so dependent on him. However, they had been together for so many years, and they already had feelings for each other. Therefore, Lu Chen just let it be.
In the dead of night, everyone fell asleep. Lu Chen and White Lotus were sleeping with their clothes on, Oxen was sleeping with its huge head on the ground, and Atsu was sleeping next to Lu Chen, using one of Lu Chen's thighs as a pillow.
However, in this quiet moment, Atsu's ears suddenly moved, and then it suddenly opened its eyes.
There was a faint green glow in its eyes, and the drowsiness it had before was suddenly gone, replaced by vigilance and hostility. It turned its head and looked around. In the dark forest, there seemed to be only the cold wind blowing from the treetops.
Atsu stretched out its front foot and gently pushed Lu Chen's face.
When Lu Chen opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Ah-Tu's eyes, which had a strange luster to them.
Atsu was also looking at it, and its paw was still on Lu Chen's cheek.
One person and one dog quietly looked at each other. After a while, the light in Lu Chen's eyes gradually brightened, and the little bit of sleepiness disappeared. After a while, he slowly nodded to Atsu.
Atsu retracted its paw.
Lu Chen raised his eyes and looked at the night sky. The night was dark, and the treetops and branches seemed to be covered in darkness. There was only the rustling sound of the wind, and the swaying branches seemed to be slightly more violent than before.
Lu Chen frowned, turned over and sat up. When he looked to his left and right, he found that both White Lotus and Oxen were still sleeping at the moment, and they seemed to have not noticed any sound at all.
Atsu turned its head and looked in a certain direction in the night, and Lu Chen immediately looked in that direction.
It seemed to be the deepest part of the darkness, without a trace of light, but in Lu Chen's view, no matter what, it could not compare to the darkness in the underground world in the forbidden area of Kunlun.
Because only the territory of the Black Dragon was the real darkness in the world, and even light could be swallowed.
After leaving the Kunlun Mountain, the Black Dragon entered the Kunlun Seal and did not make any sound, as if it had disappeared. Along the way, Lu Chen secretly took out the golden seal to check, but just as he did on the way here, the Kunlun Seal did not respond to his various tests.
It seemed that only when it reached the Kunlun Mountain, the Kunlun Seal would change, especially in the sky, where the Kunlun Seal could be said to have reached the peak of its power.
At any other time, the Kunlun Seal would be the same as now, half-dead and unresponsive, and Lu Chen could not find where the huge Black Dragon was hiding at the moment.
However, the more it was like this, the more interested Lu Chen was in the Kunlun Seal. He also clearly knew that what he saw was not a trick, because in his body, there was another treasure buried deep in his heart, that strange seed, which also had a similar strange ability.
But in between, he clearly knew that there was a world of difference between the two. In the seed was the ancient and mysterious tree hole, the size was less than the size of a common house, but if the Black Dragon could not change and shrink its body, then the strange space sealed in the Kunlun Seal would be frighteningly big.
Could there be such a shocking treasure in this world?
As if in response to the thought in Lu Chen's mind, when he stood up, a ray of light suddenly lit up in the dark corner.
Sword light!
It pierced out from the depths of the darkness, and in an instant, the light shone brightly, and the sword turned into ten swords, a hundred swords, a thousand swords, ten thousand swords. The wind howled, and in an instant, a row of more than ten trees were blown down, forming a raging tide of sword light like a huge wave, sweeping towards Lu Chen.
Amidst the sword glint in the wind, amidst the mournful whistling, a pair of ice-cold eyes locked onto Lu Chen's body. Then, a voice came along with the wind, and it was as cold as the edge of a sword.
"Hand over the token of the Sect Leader!"
The next moment, the sword light directly drowned the land where Lu Chen was standing.
