White Lotus had been hiding in the passageway for some time. It was a good position not far from the exit. The light from the outside couldn't shine in, and she could easily see what was happening in the underground cavern city in the distance by hiding in the shadows.
It was just a little lonely.
That black dog in Atsu, for some reason, suddenly ran out. After running into the streets of the city, the black dog suddenly gave up walking straight along the spacious streets. Instead, it ran left and right into those small alleys, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
White Lotus was left alone in the passageway. She was surrounded by a gloomy and depressing environment. She actually didn't feel afraid, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
White Lotus didn't know where this feeling came from, but there was no doubt that she didn't like it. She chose a relatively flat shadowy corner and sat down, pulling her clothes closer.
In the center of the city in the distance, a few Soul Formation Perfected Lords were facing off. Moreover, it was very obvious that they had used some kind of magical power to cause the blood moon in the sky to change. Although White Lotus couldn't see the outside world from this corner, nor did she see what had happened to the blood moon, she felt her heart suddenly start to beat faster.
"Thump, thump, thump, thump …"
The heart in her chest was beating fiercely, squeezing out a stream of dark red blood from her heart and quickly flowing to the rest of her body. White Lotus felt a little cold, but her heart seemed to be ignited by a ball of fire, burning fiercely, making her feel anxious and uneasy.
Cold on the outside, warm on the inside. This was a very strange feeling. White Lotus sat down quietly, no longer looking at the situation outside where a few Soul Formation Perfected Lords were facing off. Instead, she looked down at her own body and the pair of palms on her knees.
She was still a young girl. Her hands were white and soft, her skin was like jade, and her fingers were slender. However, at this moment, her palms were reflected in her eyes. In the center of her palms, there were a few small dark red spots.
White Lotus frowned and rubbed her hands a few times. Then, she realized that it was useless. These small spots were not ordinary dirt, but something that grew under the skin of the palm, something that grew in the flesh.
White Lotus was obviously startled, and her expression became a little gloomy. She sat on the spot and stared at the spots on her palm for a while. Suddenly, she stood up and quietly walked to the edge of the cave, taking the risk of being discovered. After pausing for a moment, she felt that the big shots in the distance did not notice the movement in this small corner. She then took a deep breath, and with some anxiety on her face, she gently stretched out her hand from the stone wall beside the cave.
Outside the cave was the huge underground cavern. Because the blood moon had smashed a big hole in the dome, the blood moon's moonlight shone in. However, most of the light was still shining on the city, especially with the few Deity Transformation Stage Perfected Monarchs at the center. Moonlight would also be refracted from other places, but the light was much weaker.
The place where White Lotus was at was the same. There was also moonlight, but the light was not very strong. White Lotus stared at her palm, and then slowly, she placed her hand under the light.
She opened her palm.
The moonlight shone on her palm.
It shone on those spots.
Then, those dark red spots suddenly seemed to squirm, and actually began to slowly expand.
White Lotus retracted her hand with the fastest speed she could muster. Her face was abnormally pale, and her lips were trembling slightly. She looked at her palm again.
At this moment, those spots had already doubled in size, and became an ugly, dark red spot.
White Lotus slowly retracted her palm, and tightly clenched her teeth. After a while, she looked up at the figures in the light, and her eyes suddenly revealed hatred. She muttered to herself in a low voice, "You all deserve to die!"
…
The light of the blood moon fell from the sky, shining on the underground city that had not seen the light of day for a long time. It reflected the figure of a black shadow running through the gaps between the tall houses.
Atsu ran all the way here, but the closer it got to the strange circle of light, the more cautious it became. Later, it even began to run and stop, stopping from time to time to smell, observe for a while, and then continue to move forward.
Its direction also seemed very strange. There was clearly a very clear and simple straight path to the courtyard where Lu Chen was, but Atsu had taken a detour from the beginning. It went through the small streets and alleys, and made a big turn, but went around to the side, and then carefully approached the house that was shrouded by the light.
At the same time, all kinds of lights were still rising and flashing in the city, and the unknown array was still in a state of activation, but at this moment, it seemed to be a little weak, as if it was having some difficulty dealing with the power that was transmitted from the sky.
Atsu did not feel much about this, at most it looked at the constantly shaking light beams a few more times, and then continued to approach the circle of light.
Every time it passed by a gap with a slightly wider field of vision, it would look in that direction for a while, and when it saw that Lu Chen was still standing in the light, still unharmed, and at least seemed to be fine for the time being, Atsu would seem to heave a sigh of relief, and then it would lower its head and continue to move forward slowly.
This world was so difficult, and this moonlight was so dangerous, isolating all life, but only a black dog, still persistently moved forward.
In the circle of light, Lu Chen seemed to feel something, and suddenly looked back.
But in the place where his gaze swept past, outside the broken walls, the streets and alleys of the city were still empty, not a single person could be seen. If there was a shadow, it would probably be that Gu Yue True Monarch.
With such a Soul Formation True Monarch guarding outside, probably no one in the world would be able to approach.
At the thought of this, Lu Chen sighed in his heart, retracted his gaze, and focused his attention on True Monarch Tianlan again. He watched as he stepped down, saw the stone slabs on the ground sparkling, and then felt the ground beneath his feet trembling, shaking, and rumbling, as if a door was slowly opening a gap in the depths of the ground.
That door, where did it lead to, and what kind of monster and what kind of world was behind it?
For some reason, he suddenly thought of the seed in his heart, in that ancient tree hole, there were also two doors. One led to an incomparably terrifying void world, and the other had not been opened yet.
For a moment, Lu Chen suddenly had an urge to open that door.
No one knew if they could live past today, and if they did not know what was behind that door before they died, would they feel regret?
His gaze fell on True Monarch Tianlan's broad back, but his hand slowly moved to his heart, and gently pressed on it.
