Ten years later.

early morning.

The grass is lush and the rain and fog are drifting away.

At the end of the green grass, there is a grave.

The whole hillside was covered with green grass. With the nourishment of rain, the grass grew well, and crystal clear water drops hung on the grass tips. A foot stepped on it, and the grass tips bent, and the water drops also seeped into the ground. A figure holding a black umbrella entered the picture.

The visitor walked all the way to the tombstone before stopping.

In the middle of the marble tombstone, there is a photo of a smiling young man, and below it are three big characters "Bai Xiaochuan" written in red. Under the erosion of time, the red has lost its original brightness and has become a little black. The wet rain stains the surface of the tombstone, like crying.

A hand reached out, wiped the water droplets on the tombstone, and placed a bottle of wine in front of the tombstone.

Chen Luo sat beside the tombstone and opened a bottle of wine for himself without saying a word. Today is the anniversary of Bai Xiaochuan's death. Every year on this day, Chen Luo would come and sit for a while, and then leave alone. It has been almost twenty years since he came to this world, and the memories of the past have become increasingly blurred in his consciousness.

He forgot a lot of things, but his original intention remained the same.

He has killed more cultists in recent years, but these cultists are like weeds, and they can never be killed. Not only have they not been killed, but the more they are killed, the more they are killed. Three years ago, Chen Luo's parents died in an accident, and only the urn was brought back.

The reply given above was unexpected, but Chen Luo knew it was not.

He now has enemies all over the world, so many that he himself doesn't even know who the murderer is.

Stay true to yourself.

It's difficult.

"I'm leaving."

After finishing a bottle of wine, Chen Luo dusted himself off, picked up the umbrella that was thrown aside, and walked out of the cemetery. As soon as he arrived at the door, Chen Luo saw the car waiting on the side of the road, and Mu Xiaoyu who had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Chen Luo coming out, Mu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up and she walked over quickly.

Mu Xiaoyu's strength has been steadily improving over the years. Under Chen Luo's guidance, he has already cultivated his Illusionary Martial Arts to the seventh level. In comparison, the old man Ao Ye has fallen behind, and his Illusionary Martial Arts cultivation level is only the sixth level.

"Master, from Qingyang Palace."

Mu Xiaoyu pointed at the little Taoist boy next to him.

"The master has passed away."

The little Taoist boy bowed to Chen Luo, and then told him a piece of news that Chen Luo had already prepared.

The old Taoist had been dealing with the funeral affairs for more than ten years. It was not until these two years when he had dealt with everything that he let go of everything.

"I see."

Standing in the rain, Chen Luo paused for a long time before speaking.

The Taoist priest's funeral was very simple. Apart from Chen Luo, only He Min came. Granny Hu and Wang Xuedao died at the hands of the cultists six years ago. In recent years, the conflict between humans and nightmares has become more and more intense, and people are dying almost every moment.

The world is sick, and a war has begun that should never have happened.

Chen Luo stayed in Qingyang Palace for seven days, and only returned to the Night Affairs Bureau after he sent away the body of Taoist Changqing.

Before he died, the old Taoist told him that once he died, someone from above would naturally recommend him to be the guardian of Rongcheng. Once he had this identity, many conspiracies would be powerless against him. At that time, he only needed to take steady steps to reverse the situation.

In the office, Chen Luo sat on the bed, looking at the rain outside.

The rain had been falling for more than a month, and the whole world was shrouded in haze. Chen Luo had a hunch that the third decision was coming soon. As time went by, he could clearly feel the inner demon tribulation energy gathering around him, which was almost impossible for a person who was going through the tribulation. But Chen Luo had an external brain, and he had the vision of the third, fourth, and twentieth person. From different perspectives, he could naturally see different things.

"Master, this is the latest appointment letter."

Ao Ye came in from outside and brought back a letter of appointment for Chen Luo.

The appointment letter was covered with a blue cover, and the seal was wrapped with a thin white thread. Seeing that Chen Luo did not move, Ao Ye quickly opened the cover and prepared to take out the documents inside. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched the cover, a color photo fell out from it.

It's a photo of a woman.

This person is Chen Luo’s only friend, a woman who is still waiting for him.

Su Linlin!

"It's a photo of Miss Su."

Ao Ye was also stunned for a moment, not understanding why there was a photo of Su Linlin in the appointment letter from above.

Chen Luo stretched out his hand and waved, and the photo on the ground quickly flew up and fell into his hand. Looking at the appointment letter next to it, he found that it was an appointment to transfer him to "heaven", which was completely different from the arrangement made by the old Taoist before his death.

This appointment represented the intervention of a third party, disrupting the old Taoist's arrangements.

"Marshal Li, the person in charge of Tianqiong, suddenly fell ill at 2 o'clock this afternoon and passed away at the satellite base." The TV on the wall suddenly inserted a text message. The content was very short, but it quickly attracted the attention of Chen Luo and Ao Ye.

Marshal Li is a friend of Changqing Laodao and a hardliner who has supported Chen Luo in "Heaven" over the years.

This person helped Chen Luo in many cult cases. The Taoist once told Chen Luo that Marshal Li was stronger than him. He was the only ninth-level warrior known to mankind and stood at the top of the Illusionary Martial Arts. According to the Taoist's estimate, Marshal Li had at least 50 years to live. But now he is dead, died of a "sudden illness".

The ninth-level strong man died silently.

The excuse of "sudden illness" may be enough to fool outsiders, but illusion warriors like Chen Luo can see the problem at a glance.

From the death of Lao Dao to Marshal Li, and then to the current appointment letter.

All these things were connected into one line, which meant that the cult forces had begun to counterattack in an all-out manner. All the people in Marshal Li's faction were on the list of liquidation, and Chen Luo was just one of them. The appointment letter included a photo of Su Linlin, which was telling Chen Luo not to try to escape, as everything about him was under surveillance.

“Things are going to change.”

Ao Ye swallowed his saliva.

Although he didn't know what happened, he still noticed something was wrong. How could a top-level warrior like Marshal Li die of illness? Phantom martial arts are very ordinary before level 7, but once they reach level 8, they will undergo a qualitative change.

"A trap?" Chen Luo looked out the window again.

The clouds in the sky have grown thicker.

The death of Marshal Li had a profound impact. Almost on the same day, many hard-line officials were purged, and several members who supported Marshal Li died of illness. The entire empire was in turmoil, and even ordinary people felt the danger.

The rain is getting heavier.

The continuous rumbling of thunder foreshadows the end of the world.

"Those people are trying to whitewash the cult and make everyone in the world its livestock."

night.

Chen Luo received a friend who came down from the "space station" at his home, Marshal Li's guard Chen Dahe.

When he saw this person, Chen Luo was stunned for about ten seconds.

Chen Dahe from the Heart Demon World was a burly man with a resolute face, and he was an expert in fighting. According to the information Chen Luo had learned, Chen Dahe was Marshal Li's guard, and all his magic skills were taught by Marshal Li himself. He had already reached level seven three years ago and became a master.

In such a chaotic situation, he was able to escape alone, and this alone was enough to show his strength.

"Where's Councillor Wu Shan?"

The person Chen Luo was asking about was the second friend of Taoist Changqing, and also the backup plan the Taoist left for him before his death.

"He is a traitor! The teacher's death has a lot to do with this old dog."

Chen Dahe gritted his teeth.

Marshal Li's efforts for most of his life were now all destroyed. The most important thing was that they could only watch helplessly, without any ability to fight back. The general trend and public opinion were all on the other side, and it wouldn't be long before both of them would become "extremely vicious" criminals.

This is inevitable.

Those people never thought about fighting Chen Luo face to face from the very beginning.

Illusion warrior?

To them, they are just tools.

When they gain the upper hand,

"Your appointment has been replaced by them. Now it's all their people above. The barrier can't hold for long. When the next full moon comes, these people will open the isolating sky curtain and welcome the coming of the nightmare." Seeing that Chen Luo didn't speak, Chen Dahe's eyes fell on the appointment letter that Chen Luo had thrown on the table next to him.

He took out another letter of appointment from his arms.

This was written by Marshal Li.

Let Chen Luo inherit the position of Changqing Laodao and be the defender of Rongcheng, and Marshal Li signed at the bottom. The main reason why Chen Dahe was able to escape the looting from above, apart from his own ability, was that he was sent out by Marshal Li. When the incident happened, he was not at the core of power.

It’s a pity that Marshal Li is dead now, and this letter of appointment has lost its validity.

"Welcome to the nightmare and start the dream era. Some people believe this lie."

Chen Luo laughed.

Such a simple scam could actually fool so many people. Among those fooled were many high-ranking human beings.

"What are you going to do?"

Chen Dahe now has nowhere to go, and Chen Luo is also in a period of transition of power.

"Why don't you run away with me? Once we break through level nine and accumulate enough strength, we can come back and fight them."

"I'm going to take up my post."

Chen Luo picked up the appointment letter on the table and spoke.

"Are you crazy? These people up there clearly want to kill us."

Chen Dahe frowned and looked at Chen Luo in confusion. In his opinion, Chen Luo's choice was to die! The reason why those people above issued this appointment letter was to trick Chen Luo out of the sky and let him get close to the first generation nightmare. When the sky breaks open, countless nightmares will sweep in. Even if Chen Luo is strong, he can't escape this dead end.

During the day, Chen Dahe also received the appointment from above.

But he threw away the appointment letter without even looking at it. He was a smart man and would not go and die.

“When the sky tilts, there are always people who go against it.”

Chen Luo looked up into the sky, feeling a surge of calamity in his body.

The third choice came, and he chose to move forward. This time he did not intend to give in. If the sky really shattered, he did not think he would have room to survive. Those people could even find Su Linlin, so how could they not find him? (End of this chapter)
