The old horse stared at the strange necklace exposed from the white skin around the neck of the white lotus with some doubts, the faint green light flickered silently, the light was very soft, not dazzling, there seemed to be no dangerous aura, but faintly with a vitality of life, but the old horse could still vaguely feel that there seemed to be some fragility in this branch-shaped thing, or rather, it was a bit like the lack of qi in people.

Of course, Lao Ma didn't dare to draw conclusions about the specific situation, after all, he had never seen this thing before, but at this moment, the expression on his face looked surprised, and suddenly became a little dignified.

Although Lao Ma has not been famous over the years, and he has not made any achievements that have moved the world, in fact, in the past ten or twenty years, he has always stood at the forefront of the battle against the Demon Sect with Lu Chen. Although he does the most inconspicuous and secret kind of work, in fact, his position is extremely important.

If Lu Chen was the shadow of diving into deep water and fighting bloody fish in the dark shadows during that time, then the old horse was the only tube that Lu Chen could breathe through the suffocating water.

It is precisely because of this, with Lu Chen's hardened mood and suspicious mind, despite the ups and downs over the years, Lao Ma has always been the most trustworthy and willing person to approach, which is a friendship that has been tempered in those desperate and painful years and has experienced the test of life and death.

For a shadow like them, trust is the most extravagant emotion, you know, Lu Chen even once doubted the tallest figure.

The old horse who was able to gain Lu Chen's trust and stand for many years in the underground dark world of the Demon Sect without dying, of course, could not be a waste, let alone a person who knew nothing about the Demon Sect. On the contrary, his understanding of the Demon Cult is definitely among the top few in the world today, and there is an old saying that the person who wants to know you the most must be your enemy!

Based on Lao Ma's understanding of the Demon Sect, when he saw the chain in the shape of a tree branch at this moment, a word suddenly flashed through his mind almost subconsciously: the Divine Tree.

Yes, although the four artifacts of the Demon Sect are secret, they must be known to people like them, but because his identity is different from Lu Chen, Lao Ma has actually not seen the four fragments of the so-called "one branch, two leaves, one seed" divine tree, whether it is the legendary treasure or not, Lao Ma really doesn't dare to make a conclusion.

Moreover, Bai Lian, how can she say that she is also a closed disciple of the Kunlun Sect of the Transformation God True Monarch, how could the artifact of the Demon Sect be on her body?

It may be a bit unbelievable, but the old horse is still staring at the chain, and after a few moments, he slowly takes a step forward and stands in front of Bai Lian, who looks unconscious.

He seemed hesitant, but finally reached out and gently touched the chain.

There are so many things in this world that seem impossible, some seem to be falling apart, some are like the vicissitudes of the sea, and some are things that people believe will not happen. For example, parents are always loving, tigers do not eat their children, for example, lovers are always loyal, will not be separated or betrayed, and some are firmly believed in the person they trust and will not be stabbed in the back.

The old horse has lived for so many years, looking at the dark world behind the light, except for the collapse of the sky and the earth, he has seen everything else.

He knows that there is nothing eternal in this world, and it can't be just a fantasy and illusion that people are willing to believe in many times. At that moment, when his fingers were about to touch Bai Lian's white neck, his heart suddenly tightened, as if he sensed some kind of dangerous aura, but at the same time, a thought that had been thought of a long time ago also passed through his heart.

Back then, in that barren valley, when Lu Chen betrayed the Demon Sect's division commanders and stabbed the black blade into their backs, did those Demon Sect demons probably have such a ridiculous idea in their hearts?

Maybe it was because he had finally left the front line of the battle with the Demon Sect in the past few years, but this fat man who had been vigilant was still a little lax, so that his mind was suddenly a little negligent at this moment, and he didn't notice that in this place close by, the palm of the white lotus lying on the bed on his side suddenly slowly clenched.

In his eyes, there was only a faint green light, and in his mind, only the voice of the amazed Demon Sect Heavy Treasure echoed.

※※※

Lu Chen used to be a shadow, he had spent ten years in the most dangerous and treacherous demon sect in the world, he had seen many things, encountered countless dangerous and unbelievable accidents, but he had survived them all in the end, until today.

Therefore, he rarely has that kind of huge emotional fluctuation now, because when he encounters a sudden accident, he often instinctively suppresses his shock and quickly calms down, and begins to judge the good or bad direction of the situation to decide what to do next.

This is a very important reason why he has survived to this day, because this invisible ability is so hidden, so sometimes he even needs to show panic without panicking, and make himself look anxious in a calm situation, as if he is about to lose control.

Of course, he is also a human being, and he also has weaknesses, and even a person as calm and cold as him has had several times when his emotions have been out of control over the years. And every time he loses control of himself, someone dies at his hands.

On this day, in this Kunlun Palace, Lu Chen's face showed a look of consternation, but this time it was not he pretending, but his heart was really shaken.

He was so surprised that he even stood up and stared at Tianlan Zhenjun.

Tianlan Zhenjun didn't seem to care about Lu Chen's gaffe, or rather, he didn't say a word, just smiled and gently turned his fingers.

The eyes of both of them fell on Tianlan Zhenjun's hand, and the fingers that were still empty before, but at this moment, there was suddenly a small thing.

It was a green, vibrant leaf.

※※※

This is a leaf without branches, a leaf without roots, but unlike the leaves in the world that quickly dry up after leaving the trunk and branches, this leaf is full of life and spiritual power.

The power was so abundant that it even gave the impression that the leaf was constantly sucking energy and spiritual power directly from the space around it.

The green and verdant light surrounds the leaf, as if to announce its identity. Lu Chen could barely tell the origin of this thing without thinking about it, and there were only two such leaves in the whole day.

They are all evil things, they are all treasures of the legends of the evil Demon Cult, and this is one of the only two leaves left by the Divine Tree in this world.

"Where did this come from?"

Lu Chen raised his head, looked at Tianlan Zhenjun, and asked word by word.
