Lu Chen stood at the entrance of the tunnel, frowning slightly as he looked at the long street in front of him. The number of people on the street had gradually increased, but he still hadn't seen Xue Ying's figure.
He raised his head to look at the sky, feeling an inexplicable anxiety in his heart.
Right now, Perfected Lord Tian Lan was alone in the mysterious underground cave. This made Lu Chen feel a rare sense of impatience. He really wanted to turn around and return to the underground cave to see what Perfected Lord Tian Lan was doing.
Of course, he wasn't worried about the damned baldy's safety. Although it sounded like he was a little unfilial as a disciple, sometimes Lu Chen would be surprised to find that his confidence in his master, who always had complicated emotions, was firmer than most people in this world.
There probably wasn't anyone in this world who could assassinate that damned baldy, right?
If there really was such a powerful person, Lu Chen would probably, probably, even applaud in amazement. However, from his previous words and actions, Lu Chen clearly felt that the damned baldy probably had some secret that he didn't want him to know, so he deliberately sent him away.
What was that secret? Was it related to that underground city, or to that mysterious missing bloody man? Lu Chen had thousands of questions in his heart, but he still stood there rationally, waiting for Xue Ying's arrival.
The leader of the guards at the cave entrance, Liu Ting, was also standing next to Lu Chen. When he looked at Lu Chen, his eyes were filled with intimacy and gratitude. It was obvious that he was grateful for the kind words that Lu Chen had said in front of Lord Tianlan. After standing with Lu Chen for a long time, he sensed that Lu Chen was a little anxious. After hesitating for a moment, he comforted him, "It will take a while for the messenger to reach the mountain from here. He also needs to report to Hall Master Xue. After that, as you said, it will take some time for Hall Master Xue to send 100 people over. Young Master, don't be anxious. Wait a little longer. "
Lu Chen nodded slightly, knowing that Liu Ting was right. In fact, he had deliberately confused Lord Tianlan's intentions when he sent the message just now. According to the damned baldy's original intention, he probably wanted Xue Ying to come over first, then let Lu Chen personally tell her to send people, and then enter the underground together. All sorts of delays and wasting time would take a long time even with Fuyunji's usual efficiency.
Lu Chen didn't believe that Perfected Lord Tianlan had said something wrong or that he hadn't thought of these things. Even if everyone in the world went crazy, he felt that the last person left with a clear mind would be the dead baldy. Therefore, it was obvious that this guy was deliberately delaying so that Lu Chen and Xue Ying would come over later.
What was he planning to do alone in the underground city, in that house full of bloodstains?
Lu Chen didn't know, but Lu Chen was very anxious. He felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, as if he had missed something important, or something big was about to happen. However, it was as if he was separated by a high wall, unable to see or hear anything.
Time was still passing bit by bit. Although Lu Chen's face hadn't reached the point where he would lose his composure in anger, his expression had already become gloomy.
Fortunately, at this moment, Liu Ting, who was beside him, suddenly exclaimed in surprise, then pointed to the sky and said, "Young Master, Hallmaster Xue and the others are here!"
… …
Xue Ying had indeed come. Just as Lu Chen's rumor had requested, a team of a hundred people had come with her. Each of them looked taciturn, but their auras were deep and powerful. Needless to say, they were definitely the most reliable and powerful elite troops in Fuyunji.
When this group of people arrived, the guards guarding the tunnel entrance were immediately intimidated. One by one, they retreated, some of them even pressing their backs against the wall.
These elites were obviously very experienced. In an instant, several of them surrounded the entrance of the tunnel, guarding the most important throat area.
Xue Ying walked in front of Lu Chen and glanced at him. Even though Lu Chen had been on bad terms with her recently, he couldn't help but admire this woman's ability to handle matters. For so many years, she had always been the number one confidant of Lord Tian Lan, and was known as the most powerful woman on Mount Tian Long. There was indeed a reason why she was called the most powerful woman on Mount Tian Long.
However, this was obviously not the time to praise, flatter, or get close to him. Lu Chen pulled Xue Ying to the side and used the simplest words to describe what had happened. In the end, he said, "That's what happened. I'm just passing on Master's words. I'll have to trouble you."
Xue Ying nodded. Her face didn't show any displeasure at being ordered around by Lu Chen. She only said calmly, "You did the right thing. Now that everyone is here, shall we go down now? "
Lu Chen had been in a hurry to return to the underground city, but when the time came, he subconsciously hesitated. However, he quickly nodded and said, "Alright, follow me."
… …
Five of the elite troops stayed behind to guard the exit, while the rest followed Lu Chen and Xue Ying into the underground. This caused the expressions of Liu Ting and the other guards to turn ugly. Some of them even looked angry.
However, Xue Ying ignored them, and Lu Chen didn't say anything. He understood what Xue Ying was thinking. Currently, the three most important and powerful people in Fuyunji's faction had all entered a dangerous place, and it just so happened that there was only one exit.
Therefore, the importance of guarding this place became obvious. This had nothing to do with trust, it was just a necessary guarantee.
Along the way, Lu Chen and Xue Ying quickly saw the blood moon, as well as the blood colored moonlight that was everywhere in the underground cave. Just as Lu Chen called out to Xue Ying and pointed in the direction of the house, he was about to walk in that direction when suddenly, the ground of the underground cave shook violently.
This vibration was extremely strong, to the point where even these elites with cultivation were almost thrown off their feet when they were unprepared. The surrounding stone walls and stone domes buzzed, and many shattered stones fell down.
In an instant, everyone's expression changed. This scene looked too similar to an earthquake.
There was a limit to one's strength. No matter how strong one's cultivation was, if they really encountered a natural disaster, they would be helpless.
At that moment, countless people had the thought that the heavens wanted Fuyunji to die …
Fortunately, it seemed that the heavens still wanted to give the damned baldy some face. The shaking only lasted for a while before it calmed down. The falling stones also gradually stopped.
While everyone was still in shock, before anyone could say anything, a dazzling beam of light suddenly burst forth from the center of the empty underground city in front of them. It was as if the sun had exploded, forcing back the blood moon's radiance that filled the sky.
In the golden light, a figure slowly rose, a hundred thousand zhang of light enveloped his body, shining brilliantly, as if a real god had descended to the world, it made people worship him.
Around Lu Chen, there were people who became excited. However, when he looked at the light in shock, looking at the damned baldy in the light who was displaying his power like a miracle, he suddenly faintly saw that at the end of the light, behind the glory, a dark shadow flickered in the light.
Like a person quietly waving his hand, but also like a desperate struggle, then it dissipated in the brilliant light, turning into nothingness and ashes.
Lu Chen stared blankly at the scene in the distance. He was at a loss, but he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, he did not know where it came from.
