Chapter 498: One Step Ahead
"There's nothing to worry about, it's just a lost dog, old and rotten, and there is nothing to do in today's situation except for barking a few times. Tianlan Zhenjun's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly, "If you can catch it, you will cut the grass and eradicate the roots, if you can't catch it, he can't turn the sky, so why care about this person." ”
Lu Chen didn't say anything more, just turned his head silently, glanced at the boundless night outside, and then raised his head to drink.
※※※
Although Tianlan Zhenjun said to Lu Chen very calmly and relaxedly, he was the boss and he was the biggest, and he could say whatever he wanted. If the people at the bottom have the same attitude, then they are really bad brains.
Of course, Lu Chen's brain was not bad, so he was very wise to just assume that he hadn't heard Tianlan Zhenjun say this, and the arrangements and preparations that should have been made were not left behind at all.
Chen Yan has been forced to have no way out, and finally bowed his head in front of reality. He was a person who was not afraid of death, but he found that he couldn't stand the stigma and died, not to mention that his family might be abused and killed by his fellow demon cultists who he desperately defended. In that case, what's the point of desperately holding on and then dying?
So, let's just change the way we live.
At this point in life, there is no way back, and there is only one road in front of me, which is a bit sad to think about. Now that there was such a gap in his mind, the remaining desires quickly overwhelmed all his defenses like a flood, and his past persistence seemed worthless at this moment.
However, before completely defecting, Chen Yan's last insistence and demand for Lu Chen was only one thing: he wanted to see his family.
Lu Chen agreed.
Of course, this kind of thing is inseparable from the vast Floating Cloud Division, Lu Chen directly found the blood warbler, these two are like the hottest powerful people under Lan Zhenjun's seat today, regardless of whether the relationship was a little delicate before, but after Lu Chen explained the situation to her, the blood warbler immediately agreed, and started to act without hesitation.
Chen Yan's family was not placed in the most prosperous immortal city in the world, although it was populated and almost like an ocean, but the deep-rooted True Immortal Alliance and the Fuyun Division were in this huge city, and they were afraid that they would really do such a thing as looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, the residence of Chen Yan's family was placed by him in a small city three hundred miles north of Xiancheng, and when Chen Yan made this request to Lu Chen, it was during the day, and that night, a team of elite men and horses of the Fuyun Division had already arrived in the small city called "Guihua".
This team of people was formed by the blood warbler himself, but the power to lead the team was handed over to Lu Chen, no matter how you look at it, this seems to be a little kindness expressed by the blood warbler euphemistically.
Moreover, this time, in addition to the ten people from the Floating Cloud Division, there were three more people in the team, all of whom were newly dispatched masters from the Kunlun Sect, and it could be seen that the Blood Warbler seemed to be slowly integrating these new forces.
It's just that I don't know if it's a coincidence, Lu Chen knows two of these three, one is Su Qingjun, the other is He Yi, and the last person is a complete stranger, named Cai Jingyi, and he is also a Kunlun sect master who has cultivated to the Jindan realm.
With the addition of Lu Chen, there are a total of fourteen people in this team, but Lu Chen is the only one who knows the final destination.
In fact, even in the Floating Cloud Division, there may be a few people who know about tonight's operation, but only the one who knows the final goal and purpose is the Blood Warbler.
Lu Chen led everyone all the way, although he never said the final goal, but everyone knew in their hearts that this was an extremely important matter, so no one asked much. It's just that along the way, Lu Chen's gaze occasionally swept over the two people he was familiar with.
Su Qingjun's expression was calm, she didn't seem to see any joy, anger and sorrow, and when she occasionally made eye contact with Lu Chen, she would also nod slightly.
In contrast, He Yi's attitude is very complicated and ambiguous, basically he has an indifferent face throughout the whole process, but when Lu Chen saw him, his reaction before and after was very different, at first he was blind and cold and indifferent, but then he didn't know what he thought of along the way, but his attitude gradually softened, and finally he took the initiative to smile at Lu Chen.
Rao is Lu Chen has a lot of experience, but in front of this He Yi, he can't guess what this person is thinking in his heart.
After traveling all the way, they finally arrived outside Guihua City at night, and only then did they know the destination of their trip, which was here.
For the first time, Lu Chen explained to everyone that the goal of this trip was to find and rescue Chen Yan's family, and then return to the Immortal City Fuyun Division.
The legend of that die-hard Chen Yan has been known to many people in the True Immortal Alliance recently, although no one has really come out to confirm it, and it looks like a false rumor similar to before, but when they heard the news today, everyone knew that Chen Yan was really rebelled by the rookie disciple of the Tianlan True Monarch in front of him.
The attitudes of the ten people in the Floating Cloud Division suddenly became a little different, although because of that subtle position, everyone kept a certain distance, but the group of people who could be named by the Blood Warbler were of course the elite of the Floating Cloud Division, and they were also figures who had been fighting with the Demon Sect for many years, and of course they understood how important it was to be able to rebel against such a high-level person. Therefore, when everyone looked at Lu Chen again, there was a little more faint admiration in their eyes, but they no longer felt that Lu Chen was a little person who was lucky enough to get in by Tianlan Zhenjun as before.
The three of them from the Kunlun faction, Cai Jingyi probably didn't know much about the situation of the Demon Sect, so he reacted normally, while Su Qingjun was calm on the surface, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be in a good mood. As for He Yi, his face was complicated, he stared at Lu Chen on the side, and he didn't speak for a long time.
In short, in the different reactions of everyone, Lu Chen finally arranged it, and then led everyone straight to the residence of Chen Yan's family in the northwest corner of the city.
This distance will be reached in a moment and a half for the monks.
The night is silent, the long street is empty, and in front of you is a very ordinary-looking house. The door was closed, and in the dead of night, a faint cold wind blew the corners of Lu Chen's clothes.
Then, there was a strange sound, like a suppressed voice, like anger, like fear, like despair, intermittently, and in a low voice, drifting through the darkness of the house, which was really hard to hear unless it were for the ears and eyes of the cultivators.
Lu Chen stood in front of the door, just about to push the door, suddenly raised his head and looked at the upper right side of the wooden door, and saw a blood-colored handprint printed in the dark corner.
His face suddenly sank, and his gaze became cold.
