After an unknown amount of time, the masked man in the dry well finally calmed down. The pain that wreaked havoc in his body seemed to have temporarily forgiven him, quietly hiding in a dark corner.
The man's breathing stabilized, and he stood up. After tidying up his clothes, he suddenly glanced at White Lotus.
The mask was hideous and terrifying, flashing a strange luster, but because of this, the expression on the man's face could not be seen. White Lotus's body shrank slightly, and her face revealed a somewhat fearful expression. As for the little bit of joy in her eyes, it immediately disappeared after the masked man calmed down.
Now, she was in a corner of the dry well, her body pressed against the stone wall, and her whole body curled up into a ball. She really looked like a young girl, ignorant and pure, and when she saw the strange man in front of her, she seemed to be very afraid.
After a while, even the last bit of panting disappeared. The masked man seemed to let out a long breath, and then raised his eyes to look above.
Bai Lian followed his gaze and looked in the same direction. She only saw the round hole above the well. There was nothing there except for the round blood-red sky.
"Who are you?" The masked man asked White Lotus in a low and somewhat hoarse voice.
White Lotus shrank her body, and then replied timidly, "I just told you, my name is White Lotus, and I am a disciple of the Kunlun Party."
During the gap between the masked man's words, White Lotus's eyebrows drooped, and she looked very afraid, just like an ignorant girl. But in fact, the corner of her eyes still quietly glanced in that direction, and at the same time, her mind was racing, trying to guess the identity of this person.
This was an underground cave and a mysterious city. There was a blood moon anomaly above it, and the Floating Clouds Office and the Star Hall were heavily guarded outside. It was obvious that this was a great secret. Ordinary people would not even know the specific details of the truth, let alone enter.
White Lotus herself did not know the secret below, so she was curious, and secretly followed Lu Chen, Oxen, and Black Dog to sneak here. At this time, she more or less came to a realization. No wonder Lu Chen, Fuyunji, and Xue Ying did so many things, and searched so hard, and almost turned the immortal city upside down, but still could not find the whereabouts of Elder Ghost.
If this person in front of her was indeed Elder Ghost, it would explain why Fuyunji returned without any results. Probably no one would have thought that Elder Ghost would actually be hiding under everyone's noses!
However, looking at this person's appearance, especially the painful and even self-mutilating action just now, White Lotus had an idea in her heart. This Elder Ghost did not have an extremely terrifying hidden illness, or he was seriously affected by this underground world that was shrouded by the Blood Moon Radiance.
It was even possible that it was both.
Elder Ghost seemed to have completely calmed down at this moment. Of course, the mask on his face covered his face, and it was impossible to see whether he was happy or sad. Only a pair of deep light could be seen in his eyes. He looked at White Lotus, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Just an ordinary Kunlun disciple?"
White Lotus did not speak, but her heart still slightly tightened.
After a moment, she heard Elder Ghost say, "Why would an ordinary Kunlun disciple come here? There are many people guarding outside this cave, right? Also, when you were caught by me, that Taoist technique divine power, was it called Snow Wind Scripture? That thing is not ordinary. "
White Lotus almost instantly made a decision in her heart, and then said, "I am a disciple of the Kunlun Party. My master's Taoist name is Bai Chen, and he was the one who taught me the Snow Wind Scripture. However, he has already passed away, and I have no one to rely on in this Immortal City. As for why I came here, it's because I was too bored, so I followed that person named Lu Chen down here to have some fun … Senior, senior, I really didn't mean to disturb you. Please spare me this time, please? "
At the end of her sentence, tears welled up in White Lotus's eyes, and she actually looked like she was really about to cry. However, in her heart, her thoughts were spinning rapidly, and she was thinking hard of a countermeasure.
Although she was begging bitterly, but in reality, White Lotus's thoughts were very clear in her heart. It was fine if this person was not Elder Ghost, but if he really was Elder Ghost, then it was impossible for him to let her go.
What if he let her go and snitched on her?
Putting her life in the hands of a seemingly innocent and strange young girl?
White Lotus herself did not believe this kind of thing, so she also did not believe that this Devil Sect's last great enemy, who had a terrible reputation and had been the enemy of the Righteous Faction's Zhenxianmeng for decades, would make this mistake.
Yes, from White Lotus's point of view, the possibility of this monster that was neither human nor ghost being shameless and obscene, or even killing her, was far higher than the possibility of him being kind.
Then right now, it was a hopeless situation where she had a slim chance of survival … she seemed to be unable to defeat this person, then, was there still a chance of survival?
Hearing White Lotus's pleading, Elder Ghost looked as expected indifferent, and did not even hesitate at this moment, but coldly looked at White Lotus, and said, "Snow Wind Scripture is indeed a good thing, your teacher actually passed it down to you, seems like he values your talent very highly."
White Lotus said, "Yes, to tell the truth to senior, teacher only passed down the Snow Wind Scripture to me alone, my other two senior brothers did not obtain this skill."
"En?" When Elder Ghost heard till here, for the first time, he revealed a little astonishment, and then after a moment of silence, he looked at White Lotus, his voice awe-inspiring, and said, "Didn't expect you to be such a lucky person, that Snow Wind Scripture is a unique skill, I …"
"Senior you want it? I will pass it to you! " White Lotus directly interrupted, her tone firm, her expression sincere, as if the person in front of her was not her enemy, but her great benefactor who had given her a second life.
Elder Ghost paused for a moment, probably did not expect that the little girl in front of him would actually have this kind of attitude, the Snow Wind Scripture, in the eyes of a person at his level, was of course an extremely precious treasure, as long as there was a chance, he would definitely want to take it for himself. But White Lotus's reaction was far from what he had originally expected, for a moment he did not know what to say, and only after a long while did he say, "Isn't this your teacher's painstaking effort, you are the disciple of a Huashen True Monarch, why don't you have the slightest thought of being loyal to him?"
A trace of sadness flashed across White Lotus's face, and then said, "I have let senior see a joke, to tell the truth, ever since teacher passed away, I have been bullied and humiliated in the Kunlun Party, especially my Martial Uncle Tian Lan, he was even cold-hearted towards me …"
As she said till here, she secretly glanced at Elder Ghost from the corner of her eye, and indeed saw that when Elder Ghost heard the name of True Monarch Tian Lan, his body slightly shook, as if his attention was suddenly focused.
White Lotus laughed coldly in her heart, for so many years being crushed and hunted down by True Monarch Tian Lan, in terms of the person who had the greatest resentment towards True Monarch Tian Lan, there was probably no one in the world who could be more resentful towards True Monarch Tian Lan than this Elder Ghost.
Whether there was a chance of survival, would depend on how deep this Elder Ghost's hatred towards True Monarch Tian Lan was!
