Heaven’s Shadow

After a long silence Lu Chen sighed and agreed “Alright, I promise you.”

Tianlan Zhenjun moved his eyebrows, revealing a hint of gratification, laughed: “Really? That’s great, I thought you wouldn’t agree so easily.”

Lu Chen faintly muttered: “This world is dangerous and unfair, to live peacefully, there always must be someone who will confront this threats.”

Tianlan Zhenjun: “…we didn’t meet for ten years. How did you become so gloomy? You have bright future!”

“Isn’t it because of all crap i learned from you?” Lu Chen shook his head and said, “These annoying fanatics wanted to kill me for 10 years, i might as well took advantage of this opportunity and get rid of them.”

“Oh?” For a second Tianlan Zhenjun showed surprised expression, a moment later sharp light appeared in his eyes and he asked: “How can you be so confident that you would be able to eradicate Three Realm Demonic Cult with this opportunity?”

Lu Chen smiled and said: “I have been in the Demonic Cult for too long and I am too familiar with them. Everyone of them thinking, that they every act must be earth-shattering event.” He glanced at Tianlan Zhenjun, gratually his eyes slighty narrowed, revealing chilling coldness, unknowingly he felt as if he had gone back, in the past, to the dark-clad youth who had his hands stained with blood in a cold and barren valley. He said coldly: “Ten years ago, during God Descension Curse, 3 elders from Demonic cult perished, decreasing they authority. Now that they’re preparing something even more terrifying than God Descension Curse, every member from Three Realm Demonic Cult are bound to participate, isn’t this a great chance for us?”

Tianlan Zhenjun glanced at Lu Chen with sharp light in his eyes, thought for a bit and agreed: “Makes sense.” laughing, he add: “Three Realm Demonic Cult, you can take care of them for sure!”

Lu Chen snorted, pondered for a moment and switched topic: “Before I go to the Kunlun sect, we need to discuss something.”

“What?”

Lu Chen inquired: “How would I get into the Kunlun Sect?”

Tianlan Zhenjun responded: “As a Zhenjun from the Kunlun sect, it wouldn’t be difficult, for me, to secretly arrange your admission. You can rest assured.”

Lu Chen agreed: “That’s good. But in the Kunlun sect there is a disciple Hong Chuan in lianqi realm. I have meet him in Clear stream Village.”

Tianlan Zhenjun said faintly: “I will assign for him a remote mission, for a year and a half.”

“Well” Lu Chen asked “What about that sneaky demonic cultivator in Kunlun sect, do you have any clues what is he scheming? “

Tianlan Zhenjun thought for a bit, then shook his head: “The Kunlun sect is 5000 year’s old and with it’s long history, even Zhenjun, can’t know every secret there. At present, I still don’t know anything about that guy.”

“All right” Lu Chen scoffed. “It’s not the first time anyway…”

Tianlan Zhenjun said: “If there is nothing else, contact with Little Ma, he will guide you to Kunlun sect, I’ll make arrangements later.”

Lu Chen saluted and just as he turned to leave, he suddenly heard Tianlan Zhenjun’s voice.”Actually, there is one thing i wanted to ask you for a long time.”

Lu Chen peered at bald and uncommonly tall fatty: “What?”

Tianlan Zhenjun stared at him and slowly inquired: “You infiltrated in Three Realm Demonic Cult when you were young, and stayed there for many years. Is there someone who can recognize you?”

Lu Chen was silent for a moment, seems to be in reminiscence about the past, and then deeply looking in Tianlan Zhenjun eyes, he calmly said: “No”

On the other side of the valley, under the edge of the cliff, a massive Jade Buffalo lazily lying on the ground, and poor black dog Ah Tu seems to be timidly hiding beside it.

Seeing that Jade Buffalo didn’t pay any attention to him and seemed to be fall asleep, after the initial panic Ah Tu finally calmed down. After that, Ah Tu tightened his whole body, and then slowly moved backwards little by little.

Ah Tu’s movements were extremly cautious, afraid of awakening that giant. However, everything was for naught, because of a thunderous roar that came from middle of the valley.

“Laozi…long ago…was……not pleasing to the eye…”

The roaring sound seemed to be like a real thing. In an instant, dusty sand rolled up, like a storm sweeping over, and then hitting hard stone cliff.

Ah Tu was shocked. Then, his body was blown by a wind. The force actually rolled its whole body into the air, and then at stone cliff.

At this critical juncture, when little black dog was about to hit hard stone, from the sandstorm, a thick long snake-like thing flew over, directly caughted Ah Tu in midair and pulled him back.

With a panicked scream, little dog struggled hard, until he was directly pulled to the other side of the storm and placed on the ground.

After a while, when loud echo disappeared, strange wind dissipated as well. Ah Tu discovered himself beside the Jade Buffalo, who saved him with his green tail.

The Jade Buffalo’s huge head, looked at puppy, and then turned back serenely. It seems that the move just now, was like light exercise and wasn’t worth mentioning.

Ah Tu was stunned for a while. Suddenly he jumped up and ran away.

After watching for a while, at awkwardly escaping dog , the Jade Buffalo tossed his tail and mooed.

Ah Tu ran all the way to the entrance of the valley, only then he stopped heavily panting. After a while, Lu Chen also came out.

Ah Tu quickly leaned and rubbed his head on Lu Chen’s leg. Lu Chen seemed to be lost in thought and did not pay attention to Ah Tu’s oddness. He just patted Ah Tu’s head with his hand and went on.

Ah Tu looked back at that direction. “Wang Wang” barked twice, shook his head and followed Lu Chen.
