C1534 Elder Yan?
C1534 Elder Yan?
This was a barren mountain.
There was an old man on the mountain. His face was withered, and his old eyes looked a little turbid. He leaned against the withered tree to rest.
Suddenly, the old man frowned. His originally turbid eyes became bright. A young man's figure appeared in his line of sight.
If he was just an ordinary man, there was no need for him to react in such a way.
"Elder Yan, we meet again."
Lu Chen smiled at the old man and slowly walked over.
The old man looked at him from head to toe. There was a trace of seriousness in the old man's bright eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, "Amazing."
"Thank you very much."
Lu Chen just sat beside the old man casually. He was not worried that the latter would attack him. On one hand, he had absolute confidence in himself. On the other hand, since the old man had helped him, there was naturally no need to worry about harming him.
"How did you find me?" After a moment of silence, Elder Yan asked slowly.
"The last time you blocked that person, I caught a familiar aura." Lu Chen smiled and said, "I couldn't figure out who it was, but I accidentally remembered that it seemed to be your aura."
"Why are you looking for me?" Elder Yan frowned, as if he did not welcome Lu Chen.
"Yes."
After thinking for a while, Lu Chen's expression became solemn. He added, "There is something very important."
"Elder Yan, do you know about them?"
Hearing this, Elder Yan's frown deepened. After a long silence, he slowly said, "I know."
"What exactly is Elder Yan's position?"
Lu Chen stared at him with a burning gaze. He seemed to be looking forward to the latter's answer.
"No position."
Elder Yan laughed at himself first, then added, "Don't think that just because I helped you, you are so naive that you think that I will stand on your side."
"I advise you not to be impulsive, those guys are even more terrifying than you think"
"Indeed terrifying."
"But..." Lu Chen paused for a second and said, "There are some things that must be done."
"Do you know what you are doing?" Lu Chen asked.
Elder Yan looked at Lu Chen seriously. His expression was solemn. He reminded Lu Chen, "Have you ever thought about what will happen if you fail?"
"What will happen to your loved ones, your family, and your friends?"
"Even most of the creatures in Tianwu Continent will suffer heavy casualties because of your actions. Have you considered the consequences?"
"No."
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "There are some things that you have thought about too much. " There will be too many concerns. "
"Don't be stubborn, or else you might end up in a terrible situation."
"It's not like there was no one who stood up in the past. " But... "
Speaking up to this point, Elder Yan couldn't help but sigh. In the past, wasn't he a high-spirited person as well? He was a peerless expert. However, when he came into contact with the true essence, he realized how ridiculous his power was.
So what if he was a Martial Emperor? In the face of the shadow that enveloped the entire Tianwu Continent, he was still insignificant.
"Perhaps it will be very tragic, but I want to give it my all." Lu Chen took a deep breath and earnestly begged Elder Yan, "I hope you can help me."
"Impossible."
Elder Yan shook his head and repeated, "Absolutely impossible."
"Could it be that Elder Yan is going to continue living like this?"
"Or perhaps, like the few people who don't like what they do, living in the so-called paradise?"
Lu Chen frowned and questioned.
"Don't say anymore."
"You can leave now."
Elder Yan waved his hand and signaled Lu Chen to leave. As the saying went, "you can't talk too much." There was no point in continuing the conversation.
He couldn't persuade Lu Chen, and Lu Chen couldn't change his mind.
"If escaping can solve the problem, a lot of things won't happen again."
"Tragedy is repeating itself. People keep falling and disappearing in the long river of time just like that."
"Elder Yan, I'm not acting on impulse. I just want the Tianwu Continent to be more fair. I want those who are qualified to reach the pinnacle to reach the level they want through their own efforts."
As he spoke, Lu Chen slowly stood up. Since the other party had no interest in helping him, he didn't want to stay any longer.
He bowed to Elder Yan, then turned around and was about to leave.
"Kid..."
Suddenly, Elder Yan stopped Lu Chen.
"You can go to the Wudao Mountain and the Xiao Family. Perhaps you can get the help you want."
After pondering for a moment, Elder Yan reminded him.
"Thank you."
Upon hearing this, a golden path appeared under Lu Chen's feet and disappeared from where he stood in the blink of an eye.
"Does it make the Tianwu Continent more fair?" Elder Yan muttered to himself. As he recalled Lu Chen's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's a good idea, but in the face of the shadow that covers the entire continent, how much power can you create by yourself?"
Saying this, Elder Yan sighed deeply. It wasn't that he didn't want to help Lu Chen, but he couldn't see any hope.
He had been in this world for many years, meeting countless heaven warping geniuses. He had even personally witnessed the rise of those two unmatched figures. However, even though they were stunning and exceptional, they still fell in front of the shadows like comets, making it difficult for Elder Yan to raise his confidence.
What Lu Chen wanted to do, there were many people who tried to do it, but what happened in the end? Either they died, or they became shadows. There were some people who were struggling to survive like Lu Chen, like homeless stray dogs. They didn't dare to reveal their real names or their real bodies, afraid that trouble would befall them.
Three days later.
Lu Chen returned to Violet Spiritual Cave. No one knew where he had gone in the past three days, nor did they know what he had done to meet those people.
However, Gu Yiyi, Fourth Uncle and the others noticed that Lu Chen seemed to be in a strange mood, as if he had a lot on his mind.
"What's going on?"
Gu Yiyi couldn't help but ask.
"What?" Lu Chen smiled and asked.
"You seem to have something on your mind. Don't hide it from me." Gu Yiyi frowned and curled her lips.
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and then said softly, "Yiyi, I want to..."
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Lu Chen stuttering, Gu Yiyi's heart trembled. She was an extremely intelligent woman. It was definitely not a small matter that could trouble Lu Chen.
"I want you to go back to the wasteland region to protect my parents. After Fourth Uncle and the others are done with their matters, I will go to the wasteland region to pick you up."
After hesitating for a long time, Lu Chen finally spoke.
"No."
"No matter what happens, I want to be with you."
"Moreover, I am now an expert of the Perfect Martial Sacred Realm. Unless a Martial Emperor makes a move, no one in the Martial Saint Realm will be able to harm me."
Gu Yiyi shook her head and objected, saying that she would not leave Lu Chen no matter what.
"Yiyi..."
"I don't know what you are thinking, but no matter what happens, I must be with you."
Without waiting for Lu Chen to continue, Gu Yiyi interrupted him.
"Okay."
After a moment of silence, Lu Chen nodded seriously. Then, he smiled faintly and said, "Actually, I have a secret to tell you."
"Secret? What is it?" Gu Yiyi asked.
"It is the biggest secret about me."
"Then tell me quickly."
"Actually, I've died once."
"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Yiyi frowned and quickly covered Lu Chen's mouth.
"I didn't lie to you."
Lu Chen gently took her small white hand away and decided to tell her about what happened in his previous life. He slowly said, "In my previous life, I was Ye Chen. I was plotted against and died. Later, I was unexpectedly reborn as Lu Chen."
"Lu Chen, are you crazy?" Gu Yiyi touched Lu Chen's forehead, afraid that something would happen to him.
Lu Chen knew that Gu Yiyi could not understand what he said, so he did not hide it anymore. He told her about what happened in his previous life and even showed her Peerless Martial Spirit in the end.
Gu Yiyi originally thought that Lu Chen was joking, but when the Peerless Martial Spirit appeared in front of her, she was suddenly stunned. She realized that the former was not talking nonsense at all.
The Peerless Martial Spirit was the strongest martial soul in the entire Tianwu Continent. It represented the highest cultivation talent and talent.
As far as they knew, only Wushuang Xiao, Ji Wudao, and the last Martial Emperor Ye Chen possessed the Peerless Martial Spirit.
However, since the disappearance of the Martial Emperor Ye Chen a hundred years ago, there was no news of him. The entire Tianwu Continent was spreading rumors that the former had long since died.
"So it's true."
"You really are Martial Emperor Ye Chen..."
Although he was sure that Lu Chen wasn't lying, the shock in his heart still couldn't dissipate.
"No matter if I am Lu Chen or Ye Chen, you are my lover." Lu Chen gently pulled her into his arms and said gently.
