Night.

Lu Chen quietly left the room.

The mechanisms and surveillance in the castle were useless under his delusional eyes.

His body melts perfectly into the darkness, walking like a ghost in the night.

He walked leisurely to the top of the secret room where Ning Zhongze was before stopping.

Lu Chen stretched out his hand and clicked a few times in a row, and one after another silent fingers broke through the joints of the stone wall, shooting through the walls of the secret room, leaving small cracks in the fingernails.

When he asked Tystan to take him into the secret room, he had already observed the environment inside, these cracks were all dead corners, and there was no trace from the inside of the secret room, but his delusional eye could see the situation in the secret room at a glance through these cracks.

Ning Zhong was meditating and cultivating, the target had not yet appeared, Lu Chen was not in a hurry, he believed that the fish would definitely take the bait.

As the minutes ticked by, the door to the chamber suddenly opened.

"It's coming. ”

The corners of Lu Chen's mouth hooked up a faint smile, and he began to concentrate, listening to the movement of the secret room.

Ning Zhong heard the sound of the door opening, opened his eyes and looked over, and what caught his eyes was a black shadow, and the whole person was wrapped in a black robe.

He exclaimed, "Who are you?"

He is now a frightened bird, although Lu Chen did not kill him, but he also did not let him out, and now such a black-robed man came in the middle of the night, which made him very afraid.

Lu Chen looked at the black-robed man, who was the Dark Speaker who negotiated with him in the afternoon.

Seeing him with his own eyes at this time, Lu Chen could see through his cultivation, his appearance, and his breath.

"Huh. ”

He was shocked in his heart, the dark speaker under the black robe turned out to be just a girl in her twenties.

Holy faces, like pure angels.

The figure of the devil, full of the temptation of Eve.

Under her black robe, she wore a white robe with gold threads.

The style of this white robe was similar to the red robe of the cardinal of the Radiant Temple he had just seen.

It seems that the Dark Speaker is also lurking in the temple, and it is not known what her identity is in the temple.

Lu Chen looked at her cultivation, and she had already transcended the innate and reached the middle stage of fusion.

There was a dark power hidden in her mind, but it seemed to have merged with her.

Her will didn't seem to be replaced by a dark force, nor did she swallow it up like Asakurai did, giving Lu Chen an extremely strange feeling.

It seems that his guess is correct, the Dark Speaker is indeed coming for the black wood on Ning Zhongze's body.

Lu Chen cautiously restrained his breath, after all, the other party was a big realm higher than him, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he might be discovered by her.

The Dark Speaker looked at Ning Zhongze and said gloomily, "It's a pity that it hasn't grown up yet." ”

After speaking, she spread out her hands and used her strength to control Ning Zhongze.

Her voice was like an old man in her seventies and eighties, Lu Chen could see her appearance, and the sound coming from the mouth of a girl in her twenties made him get goosebumps all over his body.

Ning Zhong heard her voice, his whole body was terrified, and before he could react, suddenly the muscles of his whole body twisted, and the colic pain was like being cut by a thousand knives.

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

He let out a terrible cry and fell to the ground, struggling and rolling.

The flesh of his body slowly cracked, and black wood sprouted from his flesh.

Ning Zhongze's appearance was extremely miserable, his body was like soil that nourished the black wood.

The Dark Speaker watched Ning Zhongze's painful struggle with cold eyes, and continued to use his strength to induce the growth of the Black Wood.

The black buds continue to grow and thicken, and finally turn into rattans, dancing like tentacles.

Ning Zhongze's body slowly dried up strangely, and the energy was absorbed by the black wood, and in the end, only one head remained.

The rattans that grew from the black wood danced towards the Dark Speaker, burrowing into her black and white robes......

This kind of scene reminds Lu Chen of some kind of anime scene that is inappropriate for children.

Of course, it was actually completely different from what Lu Chen had imagined, after the black rattan wrapped around her body, it was absorbed into her body and turned into the power of her flesh.

After refining all the black wood into her body, she looked at Ning Zhongze's remaining head, reached out and sucked it into her palm, and then carried his head out of the secret room.

Lu Chen took all of this into his eyes, although he had killed a lot of people recently, but seeing a living person absorbed by the dark power with only one head left still made him feel a chill.

He estimated that if he hadn't said that he would see Ning Zhongze's head before going to the Shining Divine Temple, the Dark Speaker wouldn't even have that head left.

After the Dark Speaker left, Lu Chen immediately turned into a black shadow and returned to his room.

The scene just now made him have many doubts.

The Dark Speaker was likely to be able to manipulate that dark power, and she was supposed to want Ning Zhongze's cultivation to be higher before seizing the Black Wood, but because of her appearance, her plans were disrupted, so she had to refine the Black Wood in advance.

Now there are five dark powers, two of which are on the Dark Speaker, two on Asakurai's body, and one on him.

He was thinking about whether to snatch the two dark powers from the Dark Speaker when the time came, and then ask about the secrets of the seven dark powers.

But after thinking about it, he still forgot it, he was still an ally with her now, and it was morally unjustifiable to snatch her things for no reason.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Chen's mouth, after solving the temple, if she didn't know how to do it to herself first, don't blame him for being polite at that time.

The next morning, Crion came up with a wooden box.

Lu Chen opened it and took a look, and sure enough, it was Ning Zhongze's head.

The two masterminds who asked Ying Wuzhai to assassinate Ji Ran got the punishment they deserved.

The original intention of his trip to Europe this time was also successfully concluded.

Next, just wait for that bloody battle.

Lu Chen closed the wooden box and smiled at him, "Tell your speaker that cooperation can begin." ”

Cryan saluted Lu Chen and said with a smile, "I believe this cooperation will be very pleasant." ”

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the cardinal came to the Mondellos family again and took Lu Chen to the Temple of Glory.

When I arrived at the temple, I was greeted by a group of people at the entrance of the temple.

Ninety-nine cardinals reverently sang praises to welcome Lu Chen's arrival.

The Knights Templar, of 3,000 men, lined up from the doorway to the temple hall.

Lu Chen walked all the way, and they all saluted him with the most standard knightly salute.

This is a specification that even ordinary superpower holders cannot enjoy.

If Lu Chen hadn't known that the temple was preparing to besiege him, he might have been a little excited.

But now, it looks more of a sarcasm.

Lu Chen glanced at their cultivation and thought that the temple was worthy of being the world's number one super power.

Cardinals are all innate grandmasters, and the Templars are all cultivators.

This is the strength of only one temple, and the twelve temples combined, you can imagine how terrifying it is.

But all of this will come to naught today.
