Of course, Zhenxianmeng was not from the Devil Cult.
For so many years, Zhenxianmeng had always been the leader of the Righteous Path in the world and the center of the Divine Central Continent's cultivation world. Everything he did was on the side of righteousness and justice. Even if there were the occasional blemishes or scum, they were few and far between. Putting everything else aside, just looking at the respect that the people of the world had for the True Immortal Alliance over the years was enough.
On the other hand, the Devil Cult had been a devil who did all kinds of evil things in the eyes of the people for thousands of years. There was a world of difference between the two. However, today, Lu Chen heard such a sentence from Perfected Lord Tianlan.
Given Perfected Lord Tian Lan's status, such words would immediately cause a commotion. Even if it wasn't a heavy blow to the True Immortal Alliance's position as the ruler of the world, it would at least weaken it. As for Perfected Lord Tian Lan's own prestige, it would be a great hindrance.
Perhaps this was also the reason why he said this to Lu Chen in private?
Lu Chen had regained his composure by this time, but he still frowned and said to Perfected Lord Tianlan, "Why did you suddenly say such a thing? Are you too free?"
Logically speaking, a disciple shouldn't speak to his master in such a manner, let alone someone like Perfected Lord Tian Lan. However, Lu Chen was clearly different and had a special status in Perfected Lord Tian Lan's heart. He didn't get angry after hearing Lu Chen's words. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "You're still too young. You don't have a broad enough perspective and you don't see enough things. Nowadays, Zhenxianmeng looks like he is unrivaled in the world and respected by the people in the secular world. It is a scene of prosperity for generations to come. But is this really a good situation? "
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and said, "I naturally know some of the dirty things that the Immortal Alliance does in private, but this kind of thing is inevitable. Gold has no feet, and no man is perfect. How can he really stand this? But no matter what, Zhenxianmeng ruling the world is still much better than the Devil Cult, right? "
Perfected Lord Tianlan shook his head with an indifferent expression. However, there seemed to be a hint of melancholy in the depths of his eyes. "You don't understand. It's just that it looks fine now. With power in hand and no external enemies restricting them, all the factions and cultivators in the Celestial Alliance changed. "
A sliver of mockery appeared on his face. He said, "You've rarely been to the Celestial Dragon Mountain in the past decade or so, so there are some things that you might not know. However, I've seen everything from beginning to end. From the beginning of the Devil Cult's decline, there were some people who had ulterior motives, but it was not obvious at that time. After the battle in the desolate valley, after we inflicted heavy losses on the Devil Cult and the general situation was settled, some people became arrogant and domineering. Their thoughts had long shifted to other things. Those who wanted money and those who wanted to fight for power were the only ones left. Only Fuyunji was still fighting with the Devil Cult. There were even many people behind them who wanted us to suffer together. Until a few days ago, when the last batch of people of the Devil Cult was finally wiped out, the people in the Immortal Alliance no longer had any scruples and began to do all kinds of things. I believe you have heard of those evil things? "
Lu Chen fell silent. After a while, he said, "I have heard of those things. Although some of them are not pleasant to hear, but in the end, it is nothing more than scheming and fighting for power."
He looked up at Perfected Lord Tianlan with a trace of puzzlement in his eyes. He said, "I thought that you are already used to these things and should not care at all?"
Yes, what Lu Chen found strange was this. Bullying the good, right? No, fighting and infighting, right? No, suppressing the younger generation to form a clique, right? No.
These were all wrong, but it was all said on the surface! For thousands of years, who did not do this? That was human nature. There were only so many good things and power. If you did not fight for them, others would naturally come to fight for them. What's more, if there were no benefits or benefits, who would come here to work?
Even Lu Chen felt that this logic was perfectly justified. Even if he encountered injustice and couldn't stand it, he would step in if he had the ability to do so. If he couldn't, he would just watch from the sidelines.
Who was Perfected Lord Tianlan? Why was his brain damaged? And if he really wanted to argue about it, Perfected Lord Tianlan himself was not clean for so many years. Fuyunji was a typical clique fighting, and he had cultivated them into the most powerful and ferocious force in the world. There was no need to talk about fighting for power. Just look at his prestige now. And there were all kinds of other things that were simply too many to count. His words today were not aimed at anyone else, but at the damned baldy himself, right?
Looking at Lu Chen's surprised eyes, Perfected Lord Tianlan seemed to know what Lu Chen was thinking at the moment. He did not look embarrassed, but just chuckled and said, "You see, I was not capable in the past, so I could only use this to rise. But now it's different."
Lu Chen was speechless for a moment. He could not help but look at Perfected Lord Tianlan a few more times. The damn baldy looked normal and did not look like he had gone mad. But thinking about it, it was impossible for this person to go mad. Sometimes, Lu Chen even felt that even if he went mad, this guy would probably always be high and mighty like a god.
However, at this point, Lu Chen could tell that Perfected Lord Tianlan's words did not seem to be joking.
After letting out a sigh, Lu Chen felt a sense of helplessness at not being able to see through the person in front of him. He said, "Forget it. Can you give me a clear answer? What do you want?" After pausing for a moment, he added, "But I still feel that you're thinking too much. The Immortal Alliance is different from the Fiend Cult."
Perfected Lord Tianlan said indifferently, "The rise and fall of power is a cycle. There's nothing new about it. When the Fiend Cult rose back then, it was also with the thought of clearing the universe and benefiting the people. But now, it has still committed countless evil deeds. The chaos that Zhenxianmeng is in right now is very much like when the Fiend Cult first rose. In that case, instead of letting the Immortal Alliance fall and harm the people in the world in the future, I might as well … "
"Hey!" Lu Chen suddenly interrupted him and called out.
"Hmm?" Perfected Lord Tianlan looked up at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen looked at him with a solemn expression and deep gaze. After a while, he said slowly, "I want to ask you something."
"Go ahead."
Lu Chen took a deep breath. The blood moon in the sky shone down, making both his and Perfected Lord Tianlan's faces look dark red and hideous. He looked at Perfected Lord Tianlan's eyes, which were slightly red because of the blood moon, and said in a low voice, "From what you said just now, you seem to think that you can make a decision for all the people in the world and choose a better path for them, right?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan nodded without hesitation. "Of course." He said with a sneer, "There are billions of living beings in the world and many cultivators are mediocre and short-sighted. They are like ants who do not know the height of the world and do not know the stars. The creation of the world naturally needs someone to guide it. "
Lu Chen's expression seemed to turn ugly as he asked in a low voice, "You're that person?"
"Who else but me?"
"But what you said just now, didn't you want the lives of the people in the world to …"
"The lives that they will live!" Perfected Lord Tianlan said it on behalf of Lu Chen. His tone was firm and his expression was relaxed. "The life that I choose for them is the best."
