Amidst the blood-colored light, Lu Chen gradually walked away.
Looking at the back of the young man, Perfected Lord Tian Lan's expression was calm. His eyes flickered slightly, but no one knew what he was thinking.
From here to the end of the long street, Lu Chen walked all the way, but he did not look back even once. Did he have a guilty conscience, or did he completely trust Perfected Lord Tian Lan and never had any doubts?
When Lu Chen's back completely disappeared, Perfected Lord Tian Lan slowly retracted his gaze. At this moment, he was the only one left in the huge mysterious underground city. Everything was silent, except for the strange red light above his head that was floating and sprinkling down.
His figure looked a little lonely.
…
Standing on the street of the immortal city, Old Ma looked at the underground entrance that was heavily guarded and tightly surrounded by cloth and sighed in boredom.
The weather was good today. Sunlight sprinkled down from the sky, warm and comfortable. Old Ma moved his body and stretched comfortably. Then, he saw a sudden movement behind the cloth and Lu Chen walked out from there.
Old Ma went up to greet him. Soon, Lu Chen also saw him and nodded to him. After walking past the group of guards, he walked towards Old Ma.
When the two of them walked together, Old Ma first looked up and down at Lu Chen. After a while, it could be seen that he seemed to be relieved.
Sensing Old Ma's reaction, Lu Chen looked at him and gestured for the two of them to walk forward together. Then, his expression did not change, but he smiled and said, "What's wrong? You seem to be very worried about me?"
Old Ma shook his head and said, "No, no. Your life is unparalleled in the world. So many things in the past didn't kill you. What will happen now?"
Lu Chen scolded with a smile, but his expression was still indifferent. Except for Old Ma, other people probably thought that he was just talking about something irrelevant.
However, after taking a few more steps forward, Lu Chen changed the topic and started to ask Old Ma about the changes in Fuyunji during the time he left the Immortal City.
"It's not a big change. It's nothing more than some meritorious rewards. After all, everyone has been working hard in the past few days and almost uprooted the Devil Cult. That's right, didn't we capture the other leader of the Demon Sect, the West Continent Hall Master Fan Tui? These days they have been detained in Fuyunji, the interrogation should be almost done and they are ready to deal with the remaining evildoers of the Devil Cult. "
Lu Chen's footsteps paused slightly. After a moment of silence, he asked, "You still haven't made your move?"
Old Ma spread his hands and said, "The foundation of the Devil Cult in the Immortal City has basically been destroyed by us. Fan Tui's territory is at the West Continent. Even if we go there, we will need some time to prepare. Furthermore, the overall situation is set. The remaining demons are not worth mentioning. We can just send some people over. "
Lu Chen snorted and said, "I remember that Fuyunji treated such things as the most important thing in the past. No matter where the remaining evildoers of the Devil Cult were, we would deal with them immediately and rush over as fast as we could."
Old Ma smiled and said, "Things are different now."
Lu Chen nodded and did not say anything else. He continued walking forward. Old Ma walked beside him and told him some of the recent movements of the other halls in Zhenxianmeng along the way. It sounded very calm and was completely the same as usual. There were almost no changes.
However, as he listened, Lu Chen's frown became tighter and tighter. When Old Ma was almost done and he stopped to take a breath, Lu Chen suddenly asked, "That's all?"
Old Ma thought for a moment and said, "That's about it. Of course, there are some other things, but they are all small matters and not important."
Lu Chen looked up at the clear sky and frowned. Old Ma looked at him and said, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Lu Chen said, "You also saw the Blood Sea Vision in the sky, right?"
Old Ma nodded. Lu Chen sneered and said, "This vision doesn't seem to be a good omen. Even so many ordinary practitioners in the city escaped. There are so many talents and halls on Mount Tianlong, but in the end, they didn't see it?"
Old Ma fell silent and did not speak for a long time. Lu Chen pondered for a while, but shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid there are too many smart people in this world …"
…
Immortal City was the largest city in the world. It was the location of the headquarters of Zhenxianmeng and also the center of the cultivation world in the vast land of the Shenzhou Continent. This city was unimaginably large, and there were countless people living in it. In this city, there was no doubt that Zhenxianmeng's forces were the largest and most powerful, and Fuyunji's hall was even more outstanding.
But even if it was Zhenxianmeng and Fuyunji, they also had dark corners that they could not see. In this city, there were also many other small forces. They huddled together to survive. Of course, they did not dare to fight against a behemoth like Zhenxianmeng. If they did that kind of brainless thing, they would be smashed to pieces.
However, no matter what, it was impossible for one person to eat all the good things in the world, even if it was as strong as the Fuyunji under the rule of figures like Zhenxianmeng and Lord Tianlan. Therefore, there were many such small forces, and they also lived well in Immortal City. Even Zhenxianmeng turned a blind eye to them.
Far away from the White Tiger District where there were many incidents during this period of time, in a secluded tavern in the Black Tortoise District of Immortal City, at this moment, there was a young and handsome man sitting alone drinking.
He was the only one in the entire tavern. It seemed that business was bleak. No one knew how it had been maintained all these years, or perhaps customers would only come at other times.
This man was He Yi.
He poured and drank by himself. The speed at which he drank was neither too fast nor too slow. After a while, when he had probably drunk half a pot of wine, the curtain at the back door of the tavern was lifted by someone. It was the tavern owner, a skinny old man, who walked out.
The tavern assistant, who was originally standing by the counter with a strange expression and staring at He Yi, came up to him. The tavern owner gave him a few instructions in a low voice with a faint expression.
The assistant replied with an "oh", then moved a stool to the entrance of the tavern and sat down directly, as if he was guarding the door.
The tavern owner then walked to He Yi's side and smiled at him. The smile seemed to be insincere and not warm. Instead, it was rather sinister. He said, "Sir, please follow me."
He Yi glanced at him. For some reason, an inexplicable struggle flashed through the depths of his eyes. However, very soon, his expression calmed down again. He nodded slowly, stood up, and followed the tavern owner into the back of the tavern that was hung with curtains.
In front of them was a long and narrow passage, and then they saw the tavern's kitchen. It seemed a little dirty, but the two of them did not care.
The tavern owner directly walked to a cupboard where bowls and chopsticks were placed. He forcefully moved the cupboard away, and a secret door that was only half the height of a person was revealed on the wall behind the cupboard.
The tavern owner pushed the door open, then turned back to look at He Yi. He Yi frowned and looked at him somewhat unhappily.
The tavern owner shrugged and said indifferently, "The person you're looking for is waiting for you over there. Whether you want to go or not, it's up to you."
He Yi was silent for a moment. Then, he lowered his head without saying a word and went through the secret door.
With a bang, the secret door closed behind him. Then, there was a rumbling sound. The skinny tavern owner must have pushed the cupboard back to its original position.
