Chapter 1369 The 3nd Prince’s Plan
With the Wentian Pen protecting him, Lu Yun found himself in another world.
There is abundant spiritual energy here, with birds singing and flowers blooming, which is somewhat incompatible with the underworld.
Behind him, Long Ying followed Lu Yun closely, looking around warily.
But the two of them did not feel any breath of life.
There was a mess of footprints on the ground, but the footprints were very shallow, as if they were left many years ago.
Lu Yun put away the Heavenly Questioning Pen and said doubtfully, "It seems that there has been no sign of human activity here for many years. Could this really be the location of the Hundred Butterfly Valley?"
Long Ying did not answer, but ran straight forward.
There is a small open space in front, which is very flat and is located in the middle of a dense forest.
Lu Yun looked around, then looked at the ground, and then said, "This should be a place for cultivation."
He pointed to a huge rock nearby and said, "That's where the sermons were given, but there's so much dust on it."
Through the dense forest, the two saw a dilapidated building.
When the two rushed over, they found that the place had already turned into ruins.
Lu Yun picked up a tile from the ground at random and looked at it over and over again.
"This was collapsed by someone. It seems that there was a fierce battle here."
"Maybe, the Baidie Valley was attacked by someone and they escaped." Long Ying guessed.
Continuing to search in the ruins, Lu Yun finally found a pile of bones.
There is not a single intact bone in this pile of skeletons. Many of them are broken, and some parts have even been destroyed.
"How cruel is this method? Killing people is not enough, is it necessary to do such a cruel thing?"
Lu Yun imagined the scene of a fierce fight in his mind. The owner of the skeleton had all his bones broken.
The feeling is incredible just thinking about it.
"There's more here!" Long Ying shouted from the side.
Lu Yun rushed over and saw dozens of skeletons lying on the ground. Some of the skeletons had turned black, and others had turned green, which were clear signs of poisoning.
The two walked and sighed, and at the same time, more skeletons appeared in their sight.
After passing through the ruins, we finally saw a large complex of buildings.
But these buildings are just like the ruins just now, not a single house is intact.
"If according to what the fairy from Tianxiang Pavilion said, the master of Baidie Valley was only suppressed but not killed. In other words, the disciples of Baidie Valley were only defeated. But what is going on now?" Long Ying asked.
"There are only two explanations. Either she lied, or Hades lied." Lu Yun said seriously, "However, I prefer the explanation that Hades lied."
What happened in the past can no longer be restored, and the truth has become a mystery. Even if Pluto and Fairy Baidie were brought in for a face-to-face confrontation, I'm afraid they would each have their own story.
But these things are not important. What is important is where is Chu Yao?
The entire area was searched but nothing was found. Apart from the skeletons of the dead, there was not even a single weapon.
"Am I wrong? This is not the Hundred Butterfly Valley?" Lu Yun began to doubt his own thoughts.
Because there is no evidence to prove that this place is the location of the Baidie Valley sect.
"Lu Yun, more haste makes waste. Don't be discouraged. You can look for clues slowly." Long Ying kindly reminded.
Lu Yun smiled and said nothing.
After staying for a while, Lu Yun left this place unwillingly.
"Are you going back to the third prince? If so, I'll go back." Long Ying said softly.
"That's good. I've been away from the Third Prince for so long, I should go back and give him an explanation. Hiding all the time is not a solution."
When he escaped from the battlefield, Lu Yun was ready to return. Although the underworld is big, it is not easy for him to hide.
Even those old monsters hiding in the dark and never coming out, probably only because of their terrifying cultivation, no one dares to provoke them.
After separating from Long Ying, Lu Yun headed straight for the western territory.
But just when he had walked more than half the way, he was stopped by Canglan.
"You kid have ruined the Third Prince's plan!" Canglan said with a bitter face.
"It's just a few days late, why is Elder Canglan like this?"
"You... Hey, go talk to the Third Prince yourself."
Ten days later, Lu Yun finally rushed back to the Third Prince's residence.
The moment the Third Prince saw Lu Yun, Lu Yun could clearly feel the murderous aura coming from the Third Prince.
"Heavenly Secret Handkerchief."
Lu Yun reached out and took out the Tianji handkerchief.
"Too late!" The third prince said in a cold voice.
Lu Yun was puzzled.
"Lu Yun, this prince treats you well, why did you lie to me like this?"
"Not thin? You teamed up with Hades to deceive so many people. Don't you want to give everyone a reasonable explanation?"
"You know shit!" the third prince shouted angrily.
His voice was so deafening that everyone around him was frightened to their knees on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Lu Yun was curious, isn't it just a few days late? I've brought back the Tianji Pa, what else do you want from me?
The third prince's face turned pale and it took him a long time to calm down.
"Lu Yun, let me ask you, why did I go to war with Hades?" the third prince asked anxiously.
"It's because Hades killed your biological father and bullied your biological mother. The third prince said so before." Lu Yun said casually.
"That's right! But, this is not the real reason why this prince is going to war with Hades!"
"Could it be..."
Lu Yun turned and looked at Canglan.
He suddenly thought of the conversation between Canglan and Shengxue in the palace of Mingcheng.
"Is it... the upper realm?"
"Haha, so you knew everything, but you are still slow." The third prince shook his head helplessly: "Originally, I was planning to take this opportunity to kill Hades, but for the sake of the entire underworld, I will temporarily put my personal grudges aside."
"Those people in the upper realm covet the underworld, so the third prince went to war with the King of Hell. However, if the war continued like this, it would not only be costly and laborious, but also detrimental to the underworld. So, the third prince thought of Empress Tianxiang's Tianji Scarf, hoping to use it to conceal the secrets of heaven and get away with it." Canglan explained.
"Hmph, what do your affairs in the underworld have to do with me? If you want the Heavenly Secret Handkerchief, you can go ask for it from Empress Tianxiang yourself." Lu Yun immediately got angry: "I am just a small cultivator from the underworld, I am not worthy of being the commander-in-chief of your Third Prince!"
"you……"
"You were the one who tricked these people into going to the Holy Mountain. You asked them to fight for you, what will you give them in return?" Lu Yun pointed at the people around him and said, "It's fine that you're taking their lives lightly, but now you want them to be cannon fodder for you? Dream on!"
Lu Yun angrily put away the Tianji Handkerchief.
"Since the first battle, all those who participated in the war were armored men, just more advanced. Does the Third Prince think I can't see it?"
"You are here to teach me how to do things?"
"Then I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"
Lu Yun refused to give in and confronted the third prince head-on.
half an hour.
The third prince nodded slightly.
"Forget it. If you want to blame someone, just blame me for being blind. Now, three of the four guardian gods have been demonized. The day when the underworld is destroyed is not far away."
