It could be seen that Perfected Lord Tianlan was a little stunned by Lu Chen's straightforward and a little crude answer. However, he was not an ordinary person after all. After being stunned for a while, he smiled and said, "You must have encountered something extraordinary for you to say that. Tell me about it."
At this point, he paused for a moment as if he had thought of something. He smiled and said, "But before we chat, have you told me what you should do?"
Lu Chen nodded and searched his chest. He took out a satin bag and handed it to Perfected Lord Tianlan.
Perfected Lord Tianlan took it and opened the bag. A golden light shot out from the satin bag and a small golden seal landed in his hand. It was the Kunlun Seal from before.
Perfected Lord Tianlan held the golden seal with two fingers and raised it in front of his eyes. He scrutinized it for a moment. For a moment, Lu Chen noticed that the golden light on the Kunlun Seal seemed to be distorted. However, it soon returned to normal as if nothing had happened.
Perfected Lord Tianlan nodded as if he had confirmed something. He put the golden seal away and smiled at Lu Chen. "You did well. You didn't disappoint me."
Lu Chen shrugged and said indifferently, "I've done everything you asked me to do since I was young."
Perfected Lord Tianlan laughed and looked gratified. He looked at Lu Chen with satisfaction and nodded. "Well said."
Oxen mooed softly and walked to a pillar at the side of the hall. Then, it lay there as if there was no one else around and yawned, looking a little sleepy.
However, both Perfected Lord Tianlan and Lu Chen did not care about Oxen's actions. Oxen had been with them for a long time and its status had always been very special.
"Alright, tell me, what kind of trouble did you encounter along the way that made you feel that it was a little tricky?" Perfected Lord Tianlan said.
"On the way back, I encountered a person who attacked me. His cultivation was very high and he was probably a Perfected One who had cultivated to the Yuanying Realm." Lu Chen did not beat around the bush and directly pointed out the main point to Perfected Lord Tianlan.
As expected, even though Perfected Lord Tianlan's cultivation was unfathomable, his face darkened and he became somewhat serious after hearing the news.
Lu Chen recounted the sneak attack that he encountered from the beginning to the end in simple words. There was almost no superfluous words and he did not exaggerate the enemy or himself. What he said was basically the truth of that night and presented it to Perfected Lord Tian Lan.
After listening, Perfected Lord Tianlan did not immediately make a judgment. Instead, he pondered for a while and walked a few rounds in the hall with his hands behind his back. He then raised his head and asked Lu Chen, "When he fought you, did you recognize any clues from his sword techniques or Dao skills?"
Lu Chen shook his head straightforwardly and said, "I couldn't tell. That person must have hidden his identity on purpose, but …" He paused and frowned.
Perfected Lord Tianlan immediately sensed it and asked, "But what?"
Lu Chen glanced at him. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "When he ambushed me, I think I heard him yell something like 'hand over the sect master's keepsake'."
Perfected Lord Tianlan was stunned and frowned. "Sect leader's token?"
Lu Chen nodded. "Yes, that's what he said. However, I was indeed puzzled at that time because I've never had anything on me that was the sect leader's token. "
Perfected Lord Tianlan was speechless. He closed his eyes and pondered for a while before saying slowly, "No, I do have it." Then, he pressed his hand on his chest and pointed at Lu Chen. "The Kunlun Seal that I gave you is actually the sect leader's token."
…
The atmosphere in the Kunlun Hall seemed to be a little cold. No one spoke for a long time. Oxen, who was in a distance, seemed to sense something in its sleepy state and looked over with sleepy eyes.
Perhaps it was because it was lazy by nature, or perhaps it had been used to this scene for many years, but it did not seem surprised or worried. Instead, it opened its mouth and yawned, then closed its eyes again. Not long after, a faint snore could be heard. This time, it really fell asleep.
In the hall, Lu Chen's expression was neither ugly nor angry, but he did not smile either. After a moment of silence, he said to Perfected Lord Tianlan, "You should have told me about this earlier."
Perfected Lord Tianlan nodded and said, "Perhaps, but I really don't want to tell you about the origin of this thing."
Slightly surprised, Lu Chen asked, "Why?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan smiled and said, "Actually, you can more or less guess in your heart, right? Because this Kunlun Seal is the token of the Perfected Master of our Kunlun Party. It has been passed down since ancient times. "
Lu Chen did not say anything. After a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The token of the Perfected Master of the Kunlun Party. From this description, apart from knowing the origin of the Kunlun Seal, there was actually another meaning, which was that this thing represented the Perfected Master of the Kunlun Party. If there were no accidents, the Kunlun Seal should be with the current Perfected Master of the Kunlun Party.
However, the current situation was obviously not the case. The Kunlun Seal was not in the hands of the current Perfected Master Qian Deng of the Kunlun Party. Instead, it had always been in the hands of Perfected Lord Tianlan. Moreover, when Perfected Lord Tianlan gave this token of the Perfected Master to Lu Chen to take back to the Kunlun Mountain to work, he actually did not tell him to return the Kunlun Seal to Qian Deng.
The meaning of this was quite interesting.
At this moment, Lu Chen was thinking about the word "agent" that had been with him for three years before the title of Perfected Master Qian Deng. And it seemed that it would be very difficult to get rid of it.
He was silent for a long time. Then, he raised his head and looked at Perfected Lord Tianlan, saying, "Is there any inside information that I must know now?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan thought for a while and said, "No. Perhaps I will talk to you in detail again after a period of time."
"Okay!" Lu Chen agreed without hesitation. It seemed that he was not interested in the twists and turns in this matter. He kept a respectful distance and said, "In that case, I will leave first."
"Wait." Perfected Lord Tianlan stopped him and said, "No matter what, you were attacked. I won't let this matter rest. I'll investigate further."
Lu Chen glanced at him and seemed to be a little hesitant. Finally, he said, "Do you think it was Qian Deng?"
"I think it was most likely him." Perfected Lord Tianlan said straightforwardly, "There are some secrets hidden in the Kunlun Seal. For many years, only a few people in the Kunlun Party know about it. Therefore, it is not very famous in the sect. In fact, there are only a few people who have ulterior motives about it and know something about it. "
Lu Chen nodded and did not say anything. He turned around and walked to the door. However, when he was about to step over the threshold, he suddenly turned back and said to Perfected Lord Tianlan, "I just find it a little strange. Since he is so suspicious of this matter, why did he shout 'Sect Leader's token' when he attacked me? Isn't that equivalent to a confession? Is Perfected Master Qian Deng really so stupid? "
Perfected Lord Tianlan's expression did not change. He said lightly, "What you said makes sense. But no matter what, we have to investigate the Kunlun Party."
Lu Chen looked at him deeply and then nodded. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out.
