Old Ma suspiciously stared at the strange necklace exposed on White Lotus's fair skin, the faint green light flickered silently, the light was very gentle, not dazzling and did not seem to have any dangerous aura, instead it carried a faint vitality of life. But Old Ma could still vaguely feel, in this branch-shaped thing, there seemed to be some fragility, or it should be said, a little like a person who was out of breath.
Of course, exactly what was the specific situation, Old Ma also did not dare to easily make a conclusion, after all he had never seen this thing before, just that right now his expression seemed to have turned solemn after the initial shock.
All these years, although Old Ma's reputation was not prominent and he did not make any world-famous achievements, but in fact in these ten or twenty long years, he had always stood together with Lu Chen at the forefront of the battle against the Evil Sect. Although what he did was the most inconspicuous and most secretive kind of work, but in fact his position was exceptionally important.
If Lu Chen in that period of time was said to be the shadow who dived into the deep waters, fighting with the bloody shoals of fish in the dark shadows, then Old Ma was the only tube that Lu Chen could breathe through from the suffocating water surface.
And it was precisely because of this, with Lu Chen's unyielding and suspicious mind, despite the ups and downs over the years, Old Ma to him, was still the most trustworthy and most willing to get close to person. This was a friendship that had been honed in those despairing and painful years, experienced the test of life and death and blood.
For shadows like them, trust was the most extravagant emotion, one must know, Lu Chen even once suspected that tallest figure.
To be able to gain Lu Chen's trust and survive for so many years in the underground dark world fighting against the Evil Sect, Old Ma of course could not be a useless person, and even more could not be a person who knew nothing about the Evil Sect. On the contrary, his understanding of the Evil Faction was definitely one of the top few in the world. There was an old saying, the person who wanted to understand you the most must be your enemy!
Based on Old Ma's knowledge of the Evil Sect, when he saw the branch-shaped chain, a word suddenly flashed across his mind: Divine Tree.
Yes, although the four divine weapons of the Devil Cult were secretive, people like them definitely knew about them. However, because of his different identity from Lu Chen, Old Ma had actually never seen the four pieces of the so-called "one branch, two leaves and one seed" of the divine tree. Whether it was the legendary treasure or not, Old Ma really did not dare to draw a conclusion.
Furthermore, no matter what, White Lotus was the last disciple of a Deity Stage True Monarch of the Kunlun Party. How could the Devil Cult's divine weapon be with her?
This possibility was a little unimaginable but Old Ma still stared at the chain. After a moment, he slowly took a step forward and stood in front of the seemingly unconscious White Lotus.
He seemed to be hesitant but in the end he still stretched out his hand and gently touched the chain.
There were too many things in this world that seemed impossible. Some were like the collapse of heaven and earth, some were like the vicissitudes of the world, and some were things that people firmly believed would not happen. For example, parents were always loving, even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs; or lovers were always faithful, would not separate and would not betray; and there were also people who firmly believed that the person they trusted would not stab them in the back.
Old Ma had lived for so many years and watched the dark world behind the light. Other than the collapse of heaven and earth and vicissitudes of the world, he had seen everything else.
He knew that in this world there was nothing that was eternal and unchanging. Many times it was just a kind of fantasy and illusion that people were willing to believe in. At that moment, when his fingers were about to touch White Lotus's fair neck, his heart suddenly tightened, as if he had sensed some kind of danger. But at the same time in his heart, a thought that he had thought of a long time ago flashed past.
That year in that desolate valley, when Lu Chen betrayed those Evil Cult teachers and stabbed the black blade into their backs, those Evil Cult evil people probably also had this kind of absurd thought?
Perhaps it was because these few years he had finally left the frontline of the battle with the Evil Cult, this fatty who was once vigilant still had some slack. So much so that his state of mind at this moment suddenly became careless. He did not notice that in this close proximity, White Lotus who was lying on the bed, suddenly clenched her fists.
In his eyes, there was only that faint green light, in his mind, there was only the voice of the Evil Cult treasure echoing in amazement.
...
Lu Chen was once a shadow, he had stayed in the world's most dangerous and treacherous Evil Cult for ten years, he had seen many things, encountered countless dangers and unimaginable accidents but in the end he had survived them all, until today.
Therefore, right now he actually rarely had that kind of huge emotional fluctuation, because when he encountered an unexpected accident, he would often instinctively suppress his shock and quickly calm down, start to judge the direction of the situation and then decide what he should do next.
This was a very important reason why he was able to live till today, because this kind of invisible ability was too hidden, so sometimes he even needed to show panic when he was not panicking, in a calm situation, make himself look very anxious, as if he was about to lose control.
Of course, he was also human, he also had weaknesses, even someone as calm and cold as him, these few years there were also times when he lost control of his emotions. And every time he lost control of himself, someone would die in his hands.
On this day, in this Kunlun palace, Lu Chen revealed a shocked expression, but this time it was not an act, he was really shocked.
He was so surprised that he even stood up and stared at Supreme Lord Tianlan.
Supreme Lord Tianlan seemed not to care about Lu Chen's loss of composure, or perhaps he had already expected it, he did not say a word, only smiled, and gently rotated his fingers.
Both of their gazes landed on Perfected Lord Tianlan's hand. His finger, which had been empty previously, now had a small object.
It was a piece of green, full of life.
...
This was a leaf without branches to rely on. This was a leaf without a foundation. However, it was different from the leaves in the world that quickly withered after leaving the trunk and branches. This leaf was filled with the aura of life and spiritual power.
The power was so abundant that it even gave people the feeling that this leaf was directly absorbing energy and spiritual power from the space around it.
The emerald green light encircled the leaf, as if announcing its identity. Lu Chen did not need to think carefully to know the origin of this thing, there were only two such leaves in the world.
They were both evil, legendary treasures of the evil Devil Cult, and this was one of the only two leaves left in this world by the Tree of God.
"Where did this come from?"
Lu Chen raised his head, looked at Supreme Lord Tianlan, and asked word by word.
