This sudden sneak attack came without any warning, and during this process, the masked man was obviously not an ordinary person. His attacks were fierce and decisive, but since he failed to hit his target, he did not continue to fight. After assessing the situation, he quickly left, even if he seemed to have the upper hand at that time.
In fact, thinking about it, how could anyone who could cultivate to the Yuanying stage be easy to deal with?
It should be known that in this world, except for those few peerless geniuses who had amazing talent and great opportunities to break through the shackles and reach the Deity Transformation stage, Spiritual Masters of Yuanying were equivalent to outstanding figures at the peak of the cultivation world.
Even when Lu Chen was lurking in the Devil Sect as a shadow, he had never heard of any Yuanying stage expert in the Devil Sect who would lower himself to play the role of a killer.
But this kind of thing, he actually encountered it tonight.
A Yuanying stage Spiritual Master disguised as a killer was secretly staring at him, this kind of feeling, no matter who it was, would make them feel a chill all over their body. Lu Chen's expression was very ugly, but it could not be said that he was panicking. In fact, after the initial surprise, he quickly calmed down, and then began to treat his injuries.
Atsu had already run to his side, and then Oxen and White Lotus also came over. They saw Lu Chen take out a jade bottle and swallow a panacea, then meditate on the spot for a while. Gradually, a trace of redness appeared on his face, and he opened his eyes again. Although there was still a trace of exhaustion on his face, his spirit was already a lot better.
Bai Lian frowned and glanced at the jade bottle beside his hand. After a while, she let out a "hmph".
Lu Chen looked at her, smiled, and said, "Someone gave it to me."
White Lotus turned her head away, and said, "It's still good to have a Spiritual Master, good things are inexhaustible, and even the rarest things will be sent to me."
Some people who saw this kind of thing might be envious, but for White Lotus, it was probably mixed with a kind of complicated feeling of having once obtained and then lost, difficult to express.
Lu Chen didn't say anything more about this. He just calmly put away his things, got up, and left.
… …
Until now, Lu Chen still did not know the identity of the masked man who suddenly appeared and launched a sneak attack, including the words that the masked man said that the only basis was "the sect leader's token", he was also puzzled.
In that intense but short battle, his reaction could not be said to be slow, and his judgment could not be said to be inaccurate, but at the same time, he could not accurately determine which sect or sect the masked man's Dao skills and supernatural powers belonged to in that instant. Perhaps the masked man was actually hiding on purpose, and only used his extremely high cultivation to launch a strong attack.
From leaving the Immortal City all the way to the Western Continent until now, during this long journey, although Lu Chen had a hard time, he almost did not encounter any trouble, and this was the only time that he was really in danger.
Who was that masked man?
What was his purpose?
For the rest of the journey, Lu Chen and White Lotus changed their original plan, and used a more secretive and faster method to speed up their journey, of course, the intention was to avoid that mysterious masked man.
However, the strange thing was that the masked man with extremely high cultivation actually appeared only once, and in the days after that, he did not appear again.
Lu Chen, who did not dare to let his guard down, was cautious along the way, but finally, he brought White Lotus, Oxen, and Black Dog back to the Immortal City without any danger.
When the familiar figure of the most prosperous and greatest city without city walls in the world came into their sight from afar, whether it was Lu Chen, White Lotus, or Oxen, Black Dog, all of them subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
This journey was indeed very long, and it made them tired, but soon, their eyes drifted to the sky.
Lu Chen frowned, while White Lotus, Oxen, and Atsu, who were beside him, had a look of surprise in their eyes.
The sky that enveloped the Immortal City had once again turned blood red on this day. Looking up from the ground to the sky, one could clearly see the expanse of dark red clouds that were like waves of a sea of blood as they ceaselessly roiled and rolled, causing one to shudder with fear.
Most importantly, in this part of the sky, the blood-red light had long passed the midline, and had now occupied about 70% of the sky.
Only less than one-third of the clear sky was left, and it looked so narrow. Under the encirclement of the sea of blood, no one knew how long it would last.
That scene even gave others the misconception that at a certain moment, or perhaps in the next moment, this bloody glow that surged like a tide would break through the boundaries of the world, break through everything, drown the entire sky, and transform the entire world into a world of blood red.
Such a scene would not make people feel happy. To be exact, most people would feel very depressed when they saw it. Even though nothing strange had happened under the blood-red sky since the appearance of the blood-red light, there would naturally be many smart people who reacted to the abnormality. The elites of the cultivation world were gathered in the immortal city, so naturally, there would be many smart people who reacted to this.
When Lu Chen and his group walked towards the Immortal City, they began to see people walking in the same direction as them. Some were walking alone, some were in groups of twos and threes, and it seemed like they were all carrying their luggage and leaving this place. Further away, on the roads leading to other directions in the Immortal City, they could see many people leaving as well, and the number of people seemed to be quite large.
It was a very strange feeling. Under the blood-red sky, there were so many people leaving in a hurry. However, Lu Chen and his group continued to walk towards the Immortal City. With every step they took, they felt that the blood-red clouds above their heads seemed to be thicker.
…
But fortunately, after entering the Immortal City, this feeling weakened quite a bit, because along the way, they saw that there were still a lot of people in the city, and in the True Immortal Alliance on Sky Dragon Mountain, it was clear that most of the people were still very calm, as if they did not take the strange phenomenon in the sky seriously.
When they saw that Lu Chen and his group had returned, the people from Fuyunji even laughed and looked happy, as if nothing had changed and everything was the same as before.
Then, Lu Chen was summoned to Kunlun Hall, and only Oxen accompanied him.
The Black Dog also followed, but Lu Chen knew that Supreme Lord Tianlan did not like this dog very much, so he asked it to wait outside the hall. As for White Lotus, it seemed like she did not want to see the bald man, so she left early.
In contrast, Oxen appeared to be much more relaxed. He walked slowly into the Kunlun Hall, looking around curiously.
When Supreme Lord Tianlan, who was sitting on the lotus throne, saw Lu Chen and Oxen walk in, he was obviously startled, and then he floated over to them. He first reached out to touch Oxen's head, and then with a hint of surprise, he said to Lu Chen, "Why did you bring it here?"
Lu Chen was just about to say something when Perfected Lord Tianlan suddenly laughed to himself and sighed. "Apart from you, no one can force you to do anything. Forget it, it's fine if they come. "
He laughed, and there seemed to be some rare gratification in his eyes. It seemed that Oxen's sudden visit this time actually warmed his heart a little. Then, he turned to Lu Chen, and said with a smile, "How was it? Did it go smoothly this time?"
"Not smoothly," Lu Chen replied.
"Hmm?"
