Why couldn't he touch Xue Ying?
There were probably many possible answers to this question. For example, most people could think that Xue Ying had followed Supreme Lord Tian Lan for many years and had always been loyal to him. Or perhaps she had made great contributions and done countless things for Supreme Lord Tian Lan. She had worked hard for him and built a solid foundation for his current foundation.
Those who were quick-witted or had many schemes in their minds could probably think that perhaps after so many years, as Supreme Lord Tian Lan's most capable subordinate, Xue Ying was in charge of such a powerful and terrifying force like Fuyunji. Fuyunji had always been famous for its' shadows'. No one knew how many secrets Xue Ying knew or was hiding.
Among these secrets, were there any secrets related to Supreme Lord Tian Lan's dark side? Could there be something that she could use against him?
These guesses were mostly in line with everyone's thoughts. However, whether or not they were the truth, Lu Chen didn't know. Supreme Lord Tian Lan didn't tell him and he didn't ask.
After Supreme Lord Tian Lan clearly told him not to touch Xue Ying, he didn't say a word about this matter.
However, at this point, there didn't seem to be anything else to say. Supreme Lord Tian Lan knew what he wanted to know and Lu Chen also understood Supreme Lord Tian Lan's attitude. The two of them each took what they needed. Therefore, not long after, Lu Chen stood up and bid farewell, leaving the grand hall of Kunlun.
When he left, he even brought the door of the hall with him. Therefore, after a moment of light shone in, the hall returned to its somewhat gloomy and dim state. The only difference was that instead of the two people just now, Supreme Lord Tian Lan's figure was now alone. He indeed seemed to have a somewhat lonely aura.
Supreme Lord Tian Lan stared in the direction of the door. After a while, he suddenly sighed softly.
His sigh sounded a little melancholy. It wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in this quiet hall. It was also at this moment that another voice suddenly rang out in this hall. It was deep and rich, like thunder rolling slowly in the dark clouds. "Your disciple is very good. Why are you sighing?"
Supreme Lord Tian Lan's expression didn't change, as if he was not surprised by the sudden appearance of this voice. However, he frowned slightly at its words and said, "It's rare that you would actually praise a mortal like him."
As he spoke, Supreme Lord Tian Lan reached into his bosom and took out a shining golden seal. It was the 'Kunlun Seal' that he had given to Lu Chen to go to the Western Continent.
The golden radiance of the Kunlun Seal gradually brightened, emitting dazzling rays of light. Not long after, a screen of light was formed in front of True Lord Tianlan, reflecting his face with a hint of gold. Needless to say, his big bald head was even reflecting some golden light. Amidst the solemnity and majesty, he revealed a rare comical look.
Of course, there were no outsiders here to see this scene. However, even if someone did see this scene, probably no one would dare to make fun of this person.
The screen of light condensed in mid-air like a wall of water. It undulated and then gradually calmed down. In the end, when the golden light quieted down, a black shadow appeared behind the light. Its appearance was blurry, but from the voice and the general outline of the shadow, it should be the black dragon that Lu Chen had seen in the depths of the sky and clouds in the forbidden area of Kunlun.
Although the dragon behind the shadow seemed to be just an illusion, its disdainful aura seemed to be able to pass through the screen of light. When facing Supreme Lord Tian Lan, it more or less restrained itself, but it still seemed to be a little condescending. It said indifferently, "That person is not bad. He's very much like you when you were young."
Supreme Lord Tian Lan raised his head and stared at the black dragon. After a moment of silence, he said, "You're right."
…
The black dragon shook its huge head as if it was stretching its body. At the same time, it said to Supreme Lord Tian Lan, "But he actually left just like that. I thought that at this point, he would make you support him even more openly."
Supreme Lord Tian Lan smiled and said, "He won't. Lu Chen is a smart person. Previously, he said a lot of things to me, including his argument with Xue Ying, but it was all nonsense. He had already obtained what he wanted to hear the most. That's why he left so decisively and didn't care about Xue Ying at all. "
"What is it?" the black dragon asked.
Supreme Lord Tian Lan said, "He wanted me to clearly tell him that this foundation will be passed on to him in the future."
The black dragon snorted and seemed to be somewhat disdainful. "That's what you said, but did he dare to believe it?" It looked down at Perfected Lord Tianlan and said with a hint of mockery, "I'm sure he doesn't know what you've done in the past. It's not that hard for you to go back on your word."
Supreme Lord Tian Lan didn't get angry at the black dragon's sharp words, nor did he try to deny it. He only pondered for a moment, then said, "He believes me."
The black dragon laughed as if it had heard something funny. "Looks like this young man is as stupid as me. He's the second person in the world who dares to trust you so much."
Supreme Lord Tian Lan glanced at the black dragon and smiled. "Although you haven't lived a good life these years, even you can't deny that I've done what I promised you back then, right?"
The black dragon sneered and looked a little mocking, but he didn't deny it. "Others might not know, but I know how you got your current position. What, don't tell me that you can say with a clear conscience that you'll completely keep your promise to that young man? "
Supreme Lord Tian Lan fell silent.
The mockery in the black dragon's eyes intensified. It shook its body and the golden light on the Kunlun Seal shook for a moment, then gradually retracted. Its huge figure gradually became blurry, but its voice still came through the screen of light. "You don't have to pretend in front of me. That young man will just be another sacrifice for you in the future."
As the deep voice gradually faded, the golden light disappeared completely and the Kunlun Seal returned to normal, falling back into Supreme Lord Tian Lan's hand.
Supreme Lord Tian Lan clenched and relaxed his hand, putting the seal back into his pocket.
He sat on the spot for a while longer, then silently stood up, walked to the door of the hall, and opened it.
A gust of wind blew in from outside the hall. Supreme Lord Tian Lan narrowed his eyes. He stood in the wind, his sleeves fluttering. After a long time, he suddenly smiled.
There was a hint of profoundness and vicissitudes in his smile, as well as a hint of carefreeness and arrogance. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the world and said, "So what if I kept my promise to him?"
…
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a rumble in the sky. It seemed to be echoing in the sky, but it also seemed like the heavens were responding to his words. Surprised, Supreme Lord Tian Lan raised his head to look.
At the same time, the mortals in the world looked up and saw a sudden change in the sky. Rays of light crisscrossed, and not long after, a sea of blood came crashing down, covering the sky and covering the earth. Moreover, this time, it seemed to have pushed over at least eighty percent of the sky.
The rare phenomenon of the crimson sea appeared once again.
