The street leading to the underground city in the White Tiger District of the Immortal City was still tightly guarded. The curtains were still erected to block the curious gazes of ordinary people. However, what was different from before was that only Fuyunji's faction and Starry Hall's Fuyunji's faction were left.
As for the reason, it was very simple. After the big fight between True Lord Tian Lan and True Lord Gu Yue of Starry Hall, even if the two factions usually got along well, they were probably not on good terms anymore.
Not only could they not get along with each other peacefully, they had to glare at each other, gnash their teeth, curse each other, and yell at each other. Then, the people of the Starry Hall would flick their sleeves and leave in disdain, and the people of the Floating Clouds Agency would take over the situation triumphantly. Everyone was happy, and they all felt that they had won. Not only did they gain face for their boss, but they also stood their ground and avoided hurting themselves. It could be seen that those who could survive in the True Immortal Alliance were all sly and cunning.
After Lu Chen came down from the mountain and brought Atsu here, he saw this very peaceful and joyous scene. Someone had already come up to greet him with a smile. One had to know that this young man's status was not ordinary now. In the future, he might even be able to sit in the position of True Lord Tian Lan. Although there was still Hall Master Xue Ying of Fuyunji standing there, and it was said that she was not on good terms with her, no one was stupid.
Hall Master Xue Ying of course had True Lord Tian Lan's trust and power, but after so many years, why didn't he take Xue Ying in as his disciple? It was said that strength was respected in the cultivation world. However, the invisible and intangible status was still everywhere in reality.
Lu Chen very politely greeted the leader of the guards called Liu Ting, and then said to him, "Lord Tian Lan sent me over to do something."
Liu Ting nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course. Is it enough for you alone? Do you want me to send another team to follow you? Whether it's to run errands or to help with some chores, it's fine."
Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think so. But thank you for your good intentions, Chief Liu."
Liu Ting laughed heartily, his eyes narrowing as he smiled. He said in an extremely amiable manner, "Young Master is too polite. In short, everything will be as you wish. In any case, we are all here. If you need anything, just tell us and we will be there immediately. "
Lu Chen smiled and nodded. He couldn't help but take another look at Liu Ting. After a moment, he took two steps to the side.
As expected, Liu Ting followed. Lu Chen smiled and said, "Chief Liu, thank you very much. But I remember that the brothers and colleagues stationed here should be the elites of Fuyunji. You are so … um, if you are so close to me in public, isn't it a little inappropriate? Be careful not to be bullied later. "
After saying this, Lu Chen paid attention to Liu Ting's expression. Sure enough, Liu Ting's expression stiffened for a moment, but then returned to normal. Then, with a sincere expression, he said, "Young Master is thinking too much. But this subordinate will remember this intention. This subordinate belongs to Fuyunji and has been risking life and death here for many years. Although I am slow-witted, I still understand one thing. All the brothers here, including all of Fuyunji, will not belong to anyone other than Lord Tian Lan Lan. Even if there is such a person, it can only be the one that Lord Tian Lan has recognized and recognized. "
At this point, it was basically impossible to go any further. The occasion and atmosphere were not suitable, but Liu Ting's meaning was very clear.
Lu Chen's brows drooped, but he felt a little emotional. Although it had been a few days since he quarreled with Xue Ying, and it had been even longer since he officially became Lord Tian Lan's personal disciple, other than Old Ma who was originally with him, there was also Chen He, who he had instigated to defect to him, but then defected to Xue Ying's side. During this period of time, no subordinates of Lord Tian Lan had come to his side.
This Liu Ting, regardless of his position, character, or even strength, was the first person who had intentionally switched sides from the original Fuyunji system.
Could this be the beginning?
Who would have thought that they would encounter such a thing by accident on this trip. Although the real effect might not be very great, and even Liu Ting's sincerity in defecting still needed to be tested, but in the end, cracks were beginning to appear in the solid Fuyunji system.
Lu Chen was still very happy. He smiled and nodded to Liu Ting, whispered a few words to him, and then led Atsu into the underground world through the tunnel entrance.
Behind him, Liu Ting respectfully escorted them all the way to the tunnel entrance. Only after Lu Chen's figure had disappeared did he straighten up.
At this moment, one of his trusted aides came over and said in a low voice, "There's no one around, our subordinates are all watching."
Liu Ting nodded and replied, "Mm."
That trusted aide hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Liu, will there be trouble if you do this …"
Liu Ting snorted and said, "What trouble? I didn't do anything. Young Master Lu Chen is Lord Perfected's disciple. There's nothing wrong with me serving him respectfully. You can't expect a small character like me to treat him coldly, right? "
After a pause, he said again, "Pass down the order, no one is allowed to know about what happened today. Even if someone asks, they can only say that I'm a coward and don't dare to slight Young Master Lu. "
"Got it!" That trusted aide showed a look of understanding and also smiled.
While the two of them were talking, among the ordinary guards in the distance, an ordinary-looking guard who was standing next to a cloth curtain in the periphery glanced over coldly at them.
… …
Lu Chen's memory was very good. He would remember many things from a long time ago clearly, no matter if these memories were pleasant or painful, including those days and nights spent in the Devil Sect.
Therefore, even now, when he was arguing with others, he would suddenly think of the woman who was killed by the Evil Cult. After a while, he would remember the woman's name and other things.
This was somewhat like a talent. Those things seemed to be engraved in his mind. Most of the time, it was just a deep sleep. Lu Chen had long gotten used to this habit of his, even if most of the time, this kind of memory brought him more pain.
But on this day, when he once again stepped into the underground city shrouded by the blood moon, when the blood red light once again fell on his body, Lu Chen suddenly felt the power of the Black Fire in his body suddenly tremble, as if it was about to boil.
Perhaps in the real world outside, the sea of blood in the sky was gradually approaching its climax. Or perhaps for some reason, the strange aura of the underground world was becoming stronger and stranger. At that moment, when Lu Chen was subconsciously suppressing the power of the Black Fire in his body, he suddenly felt as if there was a roar in his mind. His body trembled, and then there seemed to be a strange bolt of lightning suddenly piercing through the dark sky in his mind, illuminating some of the deep shadows.
Suddenly, a drop of sweat quietly slid down his forehead.
He stopped in his tracks and was in a daze. At that moment, he discovered that in the memory that he thought was complete, there seemed to be an additional blank space …
At the last moment of the battle of the Desolate Valley, when he woke up again, he had completely lost his memory of that period of time.
