Chapter 1253: First Hearing of the Truth
Just as the two burly men approached again, Lu Chen suddenly shouted.
In such an important occasion, everyone was shocked by his shout and cast surprised looks at him.
"What are you doing? If you want to die, don't drag us down." Zi Xuan blamed him through her telepathic communication.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen saw Ao Tian’s cold eyes, and immediately sent him a message through his spiritual sense.
After hearing this, Ao Tian was silent for a moment. His eyes moved from Zi Xuan to Lu Chen, and his attitude subtly changed. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if weighing something.
Finally, he took a deep breath, as if he had made a major decision. "All of you, leave."
He said calmly to the two burly men. Hearing this, the two were stunned for a moment, but seeing that there was no wavering in Ao Tian's eyes, they quietly stepped aside.
Seeing this, Lu Chen was secretly proud in his heart. He was the one who provided the identity when he went out, and Ao Tian's reaction was exactly what he expected.
At this time, Ao Tian turned to Yuan Feng, the Demon God and others and said with a smile: "This little episode is not worth mentioning. I think we should continue with the previous topic."
After these words were spoken, the Demon Ancestor and the Demon God were quite surprised. They didn't understand what Ao Tian was talking about. You know, they were just talking about important matters, so how could they continue in front of several human cultivators.
In the following time, the conversation between Ao Tian and Yuan Feng and others seemed to have returned to its original relaxed atmosphere.
However, those polite words and superficial laughter cannot conceal the sense of perfunctoriness in the air.
The Demon Ancestor and the Demon God exchanged a few puzzled glances, guessing in their hearts that Ao Tian’s transformation must be related to Lu Chen.
Finally, after a few simple greetings, Ao Tian left in a hurry, saying that he had important matters to deal with, leaving the Demon Ancestor and others looking at each other in bewilderment.
The Demon Ancestor and the Demon God shook their heads helplessly, and then left in disappointment.
After Ao Tian left, Elder Zuo turned to Lu Chen and asked softly, "What should we do now? We can't just go back like this, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen sighed softly and replied: "To be honest, I don't have a definite solution. But didn't Zixuan mention before that she already had a plan? Maybe you should ask her."
Zi Xuan looked embarrassed when she heard this. He knew something about it, but Ao Tian didn't even give her a chance to say it out, so what was the use?
At this time, Yuan Feng's spiritual consciousness was like a thread entwined in Lu Chen's ear and said: "Lu Chen, did you say something to Ao Tian just now? Otherwise, why would he suddenly change his mind?"
Lu Chen did not answer this question directly, but asked: "Senior, will you accept the invitation of the demon clan?"
After a brief silence, Yuan Feng's telepathic answer was concise and firm, "No."
After receiving such a reply, Lu Chen continued to ask: "Senior, I came here this time to disrupt the cooperation between the Dragon Clan and the Demon Clan.
As far as I know, in order to protect the fairyland, the dragon race joined forces with the human race to resist the outer demons. Why are they colluding with the demons to attack the human race now? I hope you can enlighten me, senior. "
After hearing this, Yuan Feng pondered for a moment. Considering that Lu Chen had once saved her, and she felt it was okay to tell Lu Chen the reason, she used her divine sense to tell him the reason.
After reading the information, Lu Chen was also shocked. He didn't expect that this matter had to start from ancient times.
The demons from outer space invaded the fairyland in those days. Although the human race put up a tenacious resistance, they were eventually able to drive them out of the fairyland.
But the entire fairy world also paid an immeasurable price for this.
Not to mention that the fairyland continent was torn apart for various reasons, forming multiple realms. The destruction of the world tree alone was a matter of deep regret for the entire fairyland.
You know, no matter whether it is cultivating the truth or cultivating immortals, the ultimate goal is nothing more than the pursuit of immortality and a breakthrough to a higher level of cultivation.
However, in the system of cultivating immortals, even if one reaches the top level like Taiqing Xuanxian Realm, one still cannot truly achieve immortality.
According to historical records, in the distant ancient times, there was a rumor that above the Taiqing Xuanxian Realm, there was a saying of attaining the Tao. Only by completing the attainment of the Tao can one achieve the goal of longevity and eternity.
But now, the World Tree has been destroyed, and many rules of the fairy world have become incomplete, making it difficult for cultivators to follow the right path.
The reason why the Dragon Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor agreed to cooperate with the Demon God was because the demons were willing to give them two fragments of the Chaos Tree.
It is said that the power of the Law of Chaos still remains in the fragments of the Chaos Tree, and they can comprehend this power and thus achieve the right path.
Faced with such a huge temptation, the Dragon Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor found it difficult to refuse, and Yuan Feng was invited by the Demon God to join their team for the same reason.
It only takes a breath to reach this point.
Lu Chen finally understood the reason, but what made him sigh was that the Dragon Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor would actually cause disputes in the entire fairy world just for two pieces of rotten wood.
How would they feel if they knew they had a living Chaos Tree.
Just as Lu Chen was thinking about how to deal with it next.
Li Baichuan's figure was like a ghost, silently approaching Lu Chen. His steps were light and steady, like a cat approaching its prey.
When he walked to Lu Chen's side, his expression was extremely serious, even a little solemn. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed an indescribable tension.
"Lu Shangxian," Li Baichuan's voice was low and respectful, as if he was afraid that his voice would disturb Lu Chen, "Lord Longzu wants to see you alone. Please follow me to the side hall."
Lu Chen's heart was moved when he heard this. He looked at Li Baichuan and found that the other party's attitude was very sincere and seemed to have no ill intentions. So he nodded and said, "Okay, please lead the way."
Li Baichuan got Lu Chen's response, and a look of relief appeared on his face. He turned and walked to one side of the hall, and Lu Chen followed closely behind.
When Elder Zuo and Zi Xuan saw this scene, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. They looked at each other and exchanged a meaningful look, as if they both saw a glimmer of hope.
Lu Chen followed Li Baichuan through the winding corridor, and neither of them spoke along the way. On the walls of the corridor were some ancient calligraphy and paintings, exuding a faint scent of ink.
Finally, they came to a remote side hall. This side hall looked a bit shabby and out of place compared to other palaces.
Li Baichuan stopped in front of the side hall door and motioned Lu Chen to come in. Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, then stepped in.
When Li Baichuan saw Lu Chen enter the side hall, he quietly stepped aside and did not follow him in.
After Lu Chen walked into the side hall, he found that the layout inside was very simple. There was an old wooden table, a few worn-out chairs, and nothing else.
Lu Chen secretly wondered why Ao Tian wanted to meet him alone here? Was it because he was frightened by his previous words?
Then, Lu Chen pushed open the heavy door and stepped into the side hall. The door slowly closed behind him, as if to isolate himself from the outside world.
In the side hall, Ao Tian was sitting on an old wooden chair. His eyes were complicated and unpredictable, revealing a trace of barely perceptible fatigue. Then he said:
"What you just said is serious. You must know that if you dare to deceive me, I will make you wish you were dead." Ao Tian's voice was calm and majestic.
Lu Chen took a few steps forward and sat down by himself, not considering himself an outsider at all. He then looked directly into Ao Tian's eyes and said:
"How could that be? Ever since I first saw you, I've noticed that there's a hint of special death energy emanating from your body.
This aura is very subtle. If the younger generation is not very familiar with it, it would be difficult to detect it.
Therefore, I dare to conclude that there must be a traitor around you who wants to kill you."
"You have no evidence, how can I trust you?" Ao Tian heard this, still doubtful and said...
