Chapter 89: Crying in the Dark

Chapter 89 - Crying in the Dark

"Mu Yuan?" Lu Chen frowned slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, his eyes were slightly odd as he said, "The one from the Tie Branch?"

Lao Ma nodded and said, "That's Right, that old man is now one of the only four Nascent Soul Daoists of the Tie Branch in the KunLun School, and is also recognized as one of the strongest in Daoist and Divine ability, can be said to be the Tie Branch lineage strongest."

Lu Chen nodded, and said: "How about Su Qingjun?"

Lao Ma said: "Very outstanding, extremely talented, it is said to be the top four pillars of divine disc talent, can be said to be gifted. She progressed extremely fast in Dao cultivation, deserving of the word 'wizard'. At the age of only 22, she already has cultivated to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Among the young disciples of the Kunlun School of the Foundation Establishment Realm, there are about a dozen people who have cultivated to the peak and are only one step away from becoming the Golden Core, but among them the most famous are Su Qingjun, He Yi, Song Huaisong, and Feng Yu."

Having said that, Lao Ma paused for a moment, after glancing at Lu Chen, and then said: "You can cultivate to only one step away from the Golden Core Realm at a young age. This level of strength and talent is comparable to that of ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm disciples. In comparison, it can be said to be a world of difference, I dont need to say more about this.

Lu Chen smiled, and said: "If there is a chance and luck, there may be hope to peek into the Nascent Soul Realm in the future."

"Yes, become a real person......" Lao Ma sighed with emotion, and then said to Lu Chen seriously: "Since you know what's in your heart, do not think blindly, okay? That girl has no enmity with you at all. She didn't really hurt you in the land of confusion that day, you do not have to go against such a heavenly girl?"

Lu Chen's face remained unchanged, it seemed that he didn't take this matter to heart, and said casually: "I do not intend to do anything to her, just curious to inquire about it."

Lao Ma stared at him for a moment, then hummed and said, "That's not necessarily true, You're full of evil, insidious and cunning. Who knows what you will do later? Let me tell you, Although Kunlun Tie Branch is weakened now, but after all, there are still four Daoist Nascent Souls sitting there. Su Qingjun is such a talented disciple who has a limitless future, and Tie Zhi must be protecting them as a darling. Dont ask for trouble.

Lu Chen let out a "bah" and said: "I came to Kunlun Mountain for the sake of the world's life and the vicissitudes of the righteous path, had to do so dangerous things, ah, how you guys always look at me as if Im worse than the Demonic Sect."

Lao Ma said seriously: "You are right, the truth is that ......"

As he spoke, he lowered his head abruptly, avoiding a flying stool, then glanced left and right, and said with a smile, "By the way, where is Ah Tu, how come I dont see it?"

Lu Chen said: "Just now I brought a package of meat bones for it, Ah Tu is over in the backyard gnawing on it."

"This black dog seems to have a particularly big appetite, it's almost about to make me poor, you hurry up and take it up to the mountain."

"Wait for another two months, I'm not familiar yet." Lu Chen said casually, "By the way, there's one more thing you can check for me. It's the girl from the Yi family I told you about last time."

As he said that, Lu Chen told Lao Ma about the scene he saw at the Spiritual Field in Stone Pan Valley that day, and finally frowned and said, "Then He Gang is not dead, and looking at Yi Xin, she seems to be a little afraid of him, I'm afraid it's a little weird."

"Okay, Ill take care of it." Lao Ma laughed a little and said.

Lu Chen stood up, looked at the sky, and then said: "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going back to the mountain."

Lao Ma nodded and watched Lu Chen walk to the door, when he was about to step out of the threshold, Lao Ma suddenly said, "There is something you may not know, this year's Kunlun Sect's Immortal Appraisal Conference has reaped a great harvest, and has netted many gifted three and even four pillar wizards for the Kunlun Sect, but there is one thing that has been suppressed by the Kunlun Sect."

Lu Chen paused slightly, then turned his head to look at Lao Ma.

Lao Ma looked him straight in the eye, for some reason, there was some complicated light in his eyes, and he said softly: "I heard that during this period actually found a once-in-a-lifetime one in a million of the most extraordinary genius, that person has all the five elements, and is born with an angry sea god. There are five divine pillars on the plate."

Lu Chens face suddenly changed slightly, it seemed that even a calm person like him was shocked after hearing this, but soon, his face again floated a trace of smile.

A little with a self-deprecating smile.

"Awesome ...... a five pillar genius!" He murmured, then raised his head and looked at the sky, and said faintly: "The same as I used to be, isn't it?"

Lao Ma was silent.

It was late in the evening when we returned to the mountain, and as we walked through the mountain gate and along the mountain path toward our own place at the bottom of Stone Pan Mountain, the sky was getting dark.

Darkness had come.

The Kunlun Mountain at night was still majestic, but less lofty and strange in the daytime, and more faraway and deep in the night. The mountain peaks were like silent giants, silently standing in the darkness, quietly watching Lu Chen walking through the mountains.

I don't know when it started there was no one else on the mountain path, only Lu Chen was walking forward alone.

The night was a bit bleak, the mountain wind was a bit chilly, whistling through, the faint starlight in the sky shone down on the ground, seeing those swaying shadows, like a demon or devil that was dancing.

There was still some time before the curfew started at midnight, Lu Chen looked at the night, expressionlessly walking on this night deep road, gradually, even he himself, seemed to have merged into it, becoming part of those terrible shadows.

When it is too quiet, thoughts will be scattered, it will make people seem to think more than usual. As Lu Chen was walking, he suddenly remembered the small village where he had lived for ten years, and the beautiful woman who had been sleeping on the shore of the Dragon Lake* in the Chashan*.

At this time, will there be a cold wind blowing by Dragon Lake? Maybe she will also feel a little cold, because she used to be a little afraid of the cold...

Lu Chen suddenly shook off his head to free himself from such thoughts, and then continued walking. The night was still clear and cold, and then he thought of the strange look in the old horse's last look at him when he was parting during the day.

Lu Chen knew what Lao Ma meant. Although that fat man was not a good person, he was the one he trusted the most over the years. He knew that Lao Ma had good intentions, and that Lao Ma was actually a little worthless and regretful for him.

It's just that, there were some things that no one can say, whether he or Lao Ma, and perhaps everyone actually understood in their hearts ...... if it was not good enough, and how could it be used as a successful bait? If it wasn't a rare talent, how could someone like the elder of the Demon's Sect be admired?

Sacrifice?

Perhaps only the fat man who had always been hiding in the depths of the light was the truly decisive and ruthless person.

The mountain wind was faint, blowing through the lapel, as if there was a bone-chilling feeling.

Lu Chen gently pulled the lapel, thinking about the future. If there would be an opportunity, he should go back to the Chashan Dragon Lake to have a look, add more soil to the Dingdangs grave, and plant more trees next to it.

When thinking like this, Lu Chen's body suddenly stopped, and his footsteps suddenly stopped!

Only to see the curved mountain road in the dark shadow of the deep, deep darkness, suddenly from some unknown place, there was a soft, trembling whimpering sound. In this stern cold night, such as the night ghosts crying, the message came faintly.

The shadows of the surrounding tall peaks seemed to be covered at that moment, making this section of the mountain road look extraordinarily dark.

The night was deep, it was the time of desolation.

*Chashan - Tea Mountain
