Lu Chen left the Kunlun Hall with Atsu. When he came out, he saw Old Ma standing alone outside the door. He walked over to Old Ma and greeted him from afar. Old Ma smiled and nodded as he walked over.
"I thought you went back first," Lu Chen said to Old Ma with a smile.
Old Ma smiled and shook his head. He glanced in the direction of the Kunlun Hall and then looked at Lu Chen with a questioning look.
Lu Chen shook his head, indicating that there was nothing inside. Old Ma grunted in acknowledgment. Then, he said to Lu Chen, "Oh, by the way, Hall Master Xue from the Floating Clouds Division sent someone to look for you. He wants to invite you over to discuss something."
Lu Chen was startled and said, "What did they say?"
Old Ma said, "That's nothing, but I saw that the messenger who came just now looked normal. He didn't look anxious or anxious. I don't think it's anything urgent."
Lu Chen nodded. Thinking that there was nothing urgent at the moment, he walked towards the Fuyunji Hall.
Not long after, they arrived outside the Fuyunji Hall. After all, this place was not too far from the Kunlun Hall. Someone had already announced their arrival. Not long after, they politely invited Lu Chen and Old Ma in with Xue Ying's orders.
As for the Black Dog, it didn't follow them in. Recently, the dog didn't seem to like this kind of grand and spacious hall very much. It didn't want to go in easily, so it ran away on its own. Lu Chen and Old Ma didn't care about this. The black dog was getting smarter and had a backer. No one on Mount Celestial Dragon would deliberately make things difficult for it, so it ran around freely.
After a while, the two of them were brought to the living room of the Fuyunji Hall. Xue Ying sat there and waited. But what surprised Lu Chen and Old Ma was that there was another person in the room. It was Chen He, who had been betrayed by Lu Chen from the Devil Cult.
Logically speaking, there were many reasons why Chen He would betray the Evil Sect and attack his old master, but Lu Chen's role was undoubtedly at the top of the list.
Without Lu Chen, Chen He might have died in Fuyunji's prison, and not become an honored guest of Fuyunji after betraying the Devil Cult.
It was precisely because of this that Chen He spent most of his time by Lu Chen's side when he first defected, showing his loyalty to Lu Chen. In the eyes of outsiders, he was the new generation of Lu Chen's henchman. However, for some unknown reason, after the Fuyun Company had schemed for a long time and finally dealt a heavy blow to the Evil Cult, almost completely uprooting this malignant tumor from the huge Immortal City, Lu Chen, intentionally or unintentionally, began to distance himself from Chen He. Usually, they were just acquaintances who nodded at each other and did not really have the intention to accept him as a confidant.
This was out of many people's expectations, including the leader of Fuyunji, Xue Ying, and Chen He himself. They all thought that Lu Chen would naturally expand his power. Xue Ying was very vigilant about this, and Chen He was very excited. He couldn't wait to become Lu Chen's core team. When Lu Chen truly inherited the foundation of Lord Tian Lan, he would be able to soar to the sky.
So, during that period of time, Chen He did everything possible to express goodwill to Lu Chen, and worked hard to leave a good impression on his future boss. Of course, the final result was not bad, but he did not catch Elder Ghost, so it was not perfect.
Maybe it was because of this that Lu Chen hated him? Chen He could not help but think so. He was a defector, and in terms of experience and strength, he could not compare to the people on Fuyunji's side. In order to survive, there were almost no surprises in the choice he had to make next.
He quickly approached Xue Ying, and after Xue Ying slightly relented and showed some intentions, he officially defected to her side.
Seeing Lu Chen and Old Ma walk in, Xue Ying and Chen He also stood up, a smile on their faces.
Xue Ying's smile was calm and light, elegant and polite, while Chen He's smile was a little more enthusiastic, and he even took the initiative to greet Lu Chen and Old Ma.
Lu Chen also smiled, seemingly not minding Chen He's action of approaching Xue Ying. After exchanging a few words of modesty with him, Lu Chen smiled and sat down on his seat. He then smiled at Xue Ying and said, "Hall Master Xue, why have you called me here today?"
Xue Ying nodded, not intending to beat around the bush, and said, "I heard that you plan to tell the True Lord that there is a lack of manpower in the Western Continent to hunt down the remnants of the Devil Cult, so you want to send Old Ma there?"
Lu Chen's eyes flashed, but his expression did not change. Instead, it was Old Ma who was sitting beside him who was faintly surprised, not quite understanding why Xue Ying suddenly brought this up.
At this moment, Lu Chen said, "Yes, I have already mentioned this to Master, and wanted to send Old Ma over. But Master said that the Immortal City also needs a lot of manpower, and it is not appropriate to send too many people out, so he declined. "
Xue Ying nodded, looked at Lu Chen, and said with a smile, "It's like this, I invited Junior Brother Lu here today because there is something I want to tell you. The matter of hunting down the evildoers of the Devil Cult in the Western Continent is indeed very important, and it is true that there is a lack of manpower there. So after thinking about it, I have decided to send Chen He over. He has been to the Western Continent before, and has had a lot of contact with the local Devil Cult demons, so he is the best candidate for this task. "
Lu Chen and Old Ma's expressions changed slightly, and then they looked at Chen He together.
They saw Chen He smiling, as if nothing had happened.
Lu Chen frowned, and he pondered deeply for a moment before he said, "You have to personally tell Master about this matter. He …"
"I have already reported it to Lord True Lord." Xue Ying smiled and used a gentle voice to interrupt Lu Chen's words, and said, "He has approved."
…
Lord True Lord Tian Lan had approved Xue Ying's request?
Lu Chen's expression changed again, and he could not help but look up at Xue Ying's smiling face. After a while, he said, "That is good." Then he turned to look at Chen He, and this time his face was full of smiles, and said, "There are a lot of evildoers in the Western Continent, Brother Chen will have to work hard in the future."
Chen He shook his head, and said with a smile, "No, no, we are all working for Lord True Lord. For the sake of his grand plans, it is only our duty."
Lu Chen and Old Ma looked at each other, and then looked away.
The two sides chatted happily for a while, and then Lu Chen and Old Ma said goodbye, but they were very quiet on the road.
After walking for a while, Old Ma lowered his voice, and asked, "Lord True Lord did not tell you about these things?"
Lu Chen shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, he found that he and Old Ma had walked to the row of houses where the elite disciples of the Kunlun Party were.
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, and looked at the familiar house, and suddenly asked, "White Lotus is still living in Su Qingjun's house, right?"
Old Ma grunted, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw someone coming from the road in front of them, and turned into the row of houses about a hundred feet away from them. From afar, it was He Yi, who they had not seen for a while.
Old Ma frowned, and muttered, "That person's cultivation is not bad, he seems to have a fierce murderous aura."
