Most people in the world would probably be extremely moved and excited when they heard Perfected Lord Tianlan's promise.
Lu Chen gritted his teeth with a pained expression on his face. He was enduring the backlash from the destruction of the black sword that he had cultivated with his life. His facial expression did not show any of this. However, his mood was still fluctuating, although not that strong.
Since when did he start to distrust this Divine Transformation Stage Perfected Lord who had raised him and taught him to be an adult?
Lu Chen clearly remembered that many years ago when he was still young, his trust in this person was extremely firm and his belief in him was indestructible. If not for this, he would not have been able to survive those difficult days in the Devil Cult.
Because during that period of time, apart from the physical fights, it was actually more of a mental torture.
A person's trust could be pure, but if there was the slightest suspicion at the beginning, even if it was just a small crack, it would quietly and slowly expand, and one would think of many things that one would not care about or think about in the past.
Just like the words he had just said about his teacher's kindness, words that were enough to make one shed tears of gratitude. As Lu Chen endured the pain on his body with a pained expression, he couldn't help but secretly think in a dark corner of his heart, "Have I really been negligent...
Even if he really had countless important things to do and plans for his only personal disciple, would he really neglect to teach his disciple?
Or perhaps, in the previous days, he had other plans in mind?
Lu Chen felt that at this moment, he suddenly understood what the saying "people's hearts are unpredictable" meant. This person's mind was too hard to guess, and it was already very difficult for him to trust him unconditionally like before.
After a long while, the pain in his body was slowly suppressed. Perfected Lord Tianlan's expression relaxed a little, and he withdrew his palm and straightened up.
Lu Chen moved his body and felt that the meridians in his body that had been damaged by the backlash had almost been completely repaired. He was secretly a little speechless, so he nodded to Perfected Lord Tianlan and then said after a moment of hesitation, "Thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Perfected Lord Tian Lan looked at him playfully and said, "Are you thanking me for helping you or thanking me for saying that I would teach you Dao skills and mystiques?"
Lu Chen said, "I guess so. At least today, I feel like I didn't become your disciple in vain."
Perfected Lord Tianlan was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly grinned as if he was happy. He even patted Lu Chen on the shoulder and said with a chuckle, "Boy … Live well. You still have a long life ahead of you."
"Yeah," Lu Chen nodded and said, "It wasn't easy for me to live to this day. I don't want to die."
Perfected Lord Tianlan burst into laughter.
…
The deep laughter seemed to have broken the somber and mournful atmosphere in the courtyard, causing the surrounding colors to become much warmer. Perfected Lord Tianlan seemed to be born with this ability. He could change the world around him with his own strength, instead of going with the flow and adapting to this world.
When his gaze returned to the courtyard, it was clear that he had not forgotten the original purpose of his visit. His gaze once again fell on the blood-colored figure on the ground. After sizing it up a few times, he raised his head and looked further into the courtyard.
Many places in the spacious courtyard were covered by blood, including the walls, railings, and corners. There was blood everywhere, including the edge of an inconspicuous well at the back of the courtyard.
Perfected Lord Tianlan's gaze swept across the well. After pondering for a moment, he turned to Lu Chen and said, "There's something that I need you to do for me."
"Hmm?" Lu Chen was a little surprised. He did not expect Perfected Lord Tianlan to suddenly make such a request at this time, but he still said, "What do you need me to do?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan said, "Go back to the entrance on the surface now and ask the guards outside to immediately find Xue Ying using the most urgent method. Then wait there. When you see Xue Ying, ask her to arrange 100 absolutely trustworthy subordinates to come to the underground city together. I have something urgent that I need them to do. "
After a pause, Perfected Lord Tianlan looked at Lu Chen meaningfully and said, "If you don't go and tell her, she probably won't believe me."
Lu Chen's heart was in turmoil. He was full of doubts, but in the end, he nodded and agreed to it. Then, he turned and walked out of the courtyard.
When he walked out of the gate of the residence, he could not help but look back. He could no longer see Perfected Lord Tianlan's tall figure. He did not know why, but he felt that something was not right.
What urgent matter could this damn baldy have?
Why did this order give him the feeling that it was deliberately sending him away?
Lu Chen frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and walked quickly to the entrance on the surface.
…
In the backyard, Perfected Lord Tianlan stood quietly on the spot. He seemed to have waited patiently for quite a while. Even though there was a distance between them and a high wall between them, and he didn't even turn his head, this Deity Transformation Stage True Monarch seemed to be able to clearly see Lu Chen's every move, or rather, feel everything.
Only when Lu Chen strode far away did he slowly open his eyes. There was a somewhat deep look on his face. Then, he swept his gaze across the courtyard.
A gust of wind blew past, his robe fluttered slowly. Suddenly, there seemed to be lightning flashing in the depths of his eyes, suddenly becoming sharp. On the ground that was covered by the pool of blood, on the ground not far from that blood-colored figure, slowly, a footprint appeared.
It was a footprint stained with blood.
Then, there was a second, a third … one after another, the footprints slowly extended forward until they stopped at the edge of the well.
Perfected Lord Tianlan smiled somewhat disdainfully. His expression seemed to show that he never cared about anything, even if there might be a great enemy hidden here.
He did not even bother to make any preparations to investigate or defend himself. He directly flew up and landed on the dry well, looking down.
The bottom of the dry well was gloomy and dark, like a bottomless nest.
But he did not hesitate at all. He just sneered and then fell down.
If Lu Chen were here, he would probably be amazed that the mouth of the dry well was not big enough to accommodate Tianlan's body at all. But this fat man went straight through it unreasonably and fell into the mouth of the well.
The darkness below instantly swarmed up. Then, as if there was a malicious ghost howling in the darkness, the darkness suddenly boiled up. In an instant, countless strong winds rushed over from all directions. All kinds of terrifying ghost faces, demons, ferocious beasts, and even skeletons and spirits swarmed over, covering the sky and covering the earth. They wanted to tear this person who suddenly broke in to pieces.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
It seemed that the most terrifying scene in the world was happening in this dark corner.
But the face of Perfected Lord Tianlan, who was surrounded by countless terrifying existences in the faint light, did not change at all.
He still had that contemptuous and arrogant look on his face. He flicked his sleeves as if he was a little annoyed.
A strong wind suddenly rose and suddenly broke the silence. Like a sledgehammer chiseling into solid ice, the scene instantly shattered and collapsed. In the face of absolute and almost terrifying power, all the darkness and fear melted like snow and instantly collapsed.
"Boom!"
All the ghost shadows suddenly shattered and turned into fragments that filled the sky. But they could not touch that figure at all. In the whistling sound, his huge body slowly landed on the ground and then looked at the darkness in the dry well.
There seemed to be a figure lying in the dark corner in the dim darkness.
