Looking down from the top of the Celestial Dragon Mountain, one could see the bustling Immortal City as far as the eye could see. At a glance, there were endless layers of pavilions that seemed to extend beyond one's sight to the horizon. Even the people who lived in the biggest city in the world all year round could not help but sigh at the magnificence of this city again.
This was the biggest center of power in the world, and also the biggest vanity fair in the world. It was something that countless cultivators dreamed of. No matter what kind of request it was, it could be realized in this city. Of course, it was just a possibility.
Cultivators were also human, and they also had desires and emotions.
When Old Ma stood on the top of the mountain and looked down, he had a similar feeling in his heart.
Now, Old Ma could be considered to have experienced the feeling of reaching the sky in one step. Perhaps the height of this climb was still a little lower than Lu Chen's, but it did not matter. The position of the deputy chief of Fuyunji was already a position that countless ordinary cultivators in Zhenxianmeng dreamed of. His fat body stood on the mountain. When the mountain breeze blew, perhaps he did not have the elegant bearing of a tree in the wind, but Old Ma himself felt very good. He should be a little more handsome than before, right?
Then, he pursed his lips and revealed a slightly bitter smile where no one could see. The city at the foot of the mountain looked quiet and peaceful, and it was as prosperous as before. However, as a high-level person who had obtained a certain status, Old Ma also knew more secrets and news than before.
He knew that under the peace, there was a bloodshed slowly spreading.
The atmosphere on the Celestial Dragon Mountain was still relatively calm, but the few important halls actually did not interact much with each other. Everyone kept their distance, and when they met on the road, their eyes were filled with vigilance and hostility, lest this inexplicable and gradually fierce civil war suddenly spread to them.
Yes, in the seemingly peaceful Zhenxianmeng, even though everyone acted as if nothing had happened, in fact, this could no longer be considered an ordinary dispute in the Immortal City, but a fierce battle in the dark.
Although bleeding, injuries, and broken limbs looked terrible, it was still within the scope of control. However, in the Immortal City, in order to fight for the power vacuum after True Lord Golden Dragon left, the battle soon developed to the point of death.
Everyone was a cultivator, an elite, very strong, and also very smart. By the way, everyone seemed to be in a bad mood recently. There was a stifling feeling in their hearts, and they always wanted a place to vent it. Normally, they were all under the same True Immortal Alliance, so they had to take into consideration their faces and the forces of the various halls. None of them dared to act recklessly. However … in the past few days, all the people under the halls seemed to have suddenly discovered a frightening fact. That was … it seemed that killing people was no big deal.
After the first person died, the scale of this battle began to expand rapidly. Everyone's attacks became fiercer and fiercer. Every slash was not to scare people away, but to really want to see blood and kill people. Sometimes, even people who were usually more gentle could not help but become cruel and ruthless killers under such an atmosphere.
In this chaotic battle, Fuyunji relied on its own powerful strength to gain the upper hand. At the same time, many people also saw the performance of the future successor of True Lord Tianlan.
Lu Chen looked like a killer among killers!
Old Ma heard a lot about Lu Chen's performance during this period of time, and he was a little worried about it. For some reason, he felt that something was not quite right, but he could not put his finger on it. He only felt that Lu Chen had been with him for many years. At least, the Lu Chen he knew in the past should not be such a person.
But Old Ma was not completely sure in his heart, because he also knew more deeply than others that Lu Chen was once the best shadow in the world.
This person could even completely change himself into another person when needed, including his personality. He used this powerful and terrifying ability to severely damage the Devil Sect, and laid the foundation for the destruction of the Devil Sect. Therefore, although Old Ma felt that something was not quite right, he still could not be sure whether Lu Chen was still pretending or not.
This person, even his old friends of more than ten to twenty years, did not dare to say that they could completely recognize him. How scary was that? Old Ma shook his head, and the worry on his face deepened.
The road under the city in the distance, on the ancient road leading to the outside of the Immortal City, now looked very lively, and it looked like a contrast with the bustling Immortal City. But most of the people walking on the road, the densely packed people, were people who were in a hurry to leave.
There was an inexplicable and strange phenomenon above their heads. In this city on the ground, there were fights and killings every two or three days. You could even see blood splattering and corpses everywhere in the streets. This kind of place was suitable for ambitious people and adventurers, not for ordinary people who wanted to live in peace.
Old Ma sighed and sat down on the spot. He had stood in this place for a long time, and also waited for a long time. Places that were rarely visited were usually places with extremely dangerous peaks or harsh environments. Perhaps such places would occasionally have beautiful scenery, but after a long time, it was actually very uncomfortable.
"Damn it …" Old Ma muttered, as if he was cursing, but also as if he was complaining about something. After a while, he sighed and seemed to be a little discouraged.
At this moment of silence, even the mountain breeze suddenly became a little quiet. Old Ma narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance. Suddenly, he only felt a pain on his back, as if a hard object had suddenly pressed against his back.
Unbeknownst to anyone, there was something so close to him.
In an instant, Old Ma's face turned pale. His fat body suddenly tightened at this moment, and his spiritual power suddenly gathered. When he saw that the strength he had hidden for many years was about to burst out in an instant, the words behind his back were like a basin of cold water poured over his whole body.
"Lu Chen asked me to say hello to you!"
The voice was low but soft, and it sounded like a woman. At the same time, the hard object seemed to be particularly sharp, and it instantly pierced through his clothes and went straight to his back.
Old Ma seemed to be frozen. He stood stiffly in the same place and did not dare to look back. The expression on his face looked very strange. After a moment of silence, he whispered, "Lu Chen?"
"Yes."
"What are you going to do?" Old Ma asked.
"Kill you." The person behind him said, and the tone of the voice seemed to have changed again.
Old Ma sighed and said, "If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why do you have to pretend to be him?"
The person behind him made a sound of surprise and said, "Didn't you just betray him? Is it wrong for Lu Chen to want to kill you?"
Old Ma shook his head and said, "He won't kill me, and he didn't send you."
The person behind him was silent.
Old Ma smiled bitterly, then slowly took a step forward, letting his body slowly move away from the sharp blade on his back. Only then did he turn his head to look at the charming woman behind him. He smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, Old Ma.
"Miss Song, you will scare me to death by doing this …"
