Outside the Dark God Star Killing Array.
Liu Ziru was consumed by deep self-reproach.
Seeing Liu Ziru's extremely conflicted and twisted expression, the Dark Lord frowned and said, "Alright, go outside and wait. It should take a while. By the way, I'll give you a task. It's been a long time since I've assigned you a task since you started following Senior Lu."
Having said that, the Dark Lord led Liu Ziru toward leaving.
But at this very moment...
Behind the hidden door, bursts of killing intent began to surge forth!
The Dark God Star Killing Array was extremely well hidden, yet even so, those wisps of violent killing intent transformed into a sea of stars, squeezing out from countless gaps.
Soon, it filled the entire Dark Domain!
Countless stewards in the Dark Domain looked up in astonishment at this scene.
One of the deacons looked surprised and suspicious.
Some of the deacons looked horrified.
The stewards below the fourth star level were unaware of the existence of the Dark God Star Killing Array.
Therefore, they would be surprised and suspicious.
Where does this aura come from in the Dark Domain?
Has an enemy invaded the Dark Domain?
Those who were shocked were the four-star and above deacons.
They knew about the Dark God Star Killing Array, even though they were already at a very high level.
But judging from the aura it's releasing now, it's clearly several levels higher!
Could it be that the Dark Lord commissioned someone to upgrade the Dark God Star Killing Array?
It's already an array capable of countering those at the God Lord Realm; it's already a Divine Lord- level killing array. Can it be improved further?
That formation master must be incredibly powerful!
Some Four-Star Deacon were even wondering in their minds whether such array masters still existed in the entire High-Latitude Realm.
Outside the hidden door, the Dark Lord's brow twitched, a bitter smile on his face.
How long has it been...?
Looking at the Dark Lord 'Dark Lord expression, Liu Ziru patted him on the shoulder and said with a sigh, "You'll get used to it. Senior Lu is like that."
The Dark Lord pointed behind the hidden door and asked, "Always this fast? This is Divine Lord level killing formation..."
Liu Ziru nodded.
He silently complained to himself.
A killing formation at the level of Divine Lord?
Senior Lu's strength has probably long surpassed that of Divine Lord; even the Divine Lord Hao Tian has to be mindful of Senior Lu's feelings...
A mere Divine Lord- level formation...
Then I thought about how Lu Changsheng might have set up traps in the Dark God Star Killing Array...
Well, given Senior Lu's personality, as long as the Dark Domain doesn't do anything harmful to him, it won't activate the mechanisms within the Dark God Star Killing Array.
That's all for now.
There shouldn't be any problems.
Thinking about this...
Liu Ziru was relieved.
However, Liu Ziru himself probably didn't even realize it.
What he was really worried about wasn't whether the Dark Domain would be in trouble, but that the Dark Domain might turn against Lu Changsheng...
At this moment.
The murderous aura in the sky suddenly dissipated.
It left no trace, as if it had never existed.
The hidden door opened at that moment.
Lu Changsheng's figure appeared before the Dark Lord and Liu Ziru.
The Dark Lord asked with concern, "Senior, would you like to rest for a while?"
Lu Changsheng glanced at Liu Ziru, a half-smile playing on his lips.
Upon seeing this, Liu Ziru shrank back, feeling a chill run down her spine...
Oh no, Barbie Q is gone...
Then, Lu Changsheng looked at the Dark Lord, his face instantly turning pale, his steps faltering, and his body swaying.
"It took a lot of effort, but it's okay. The formation has been successfully strengthened; you can go take a look."
Seeing this, Liu Ziru sneered inwardly.
Haha, Senior Lu Senior Lu, you're putting on a rather fake act.
At this level, you're still tired?
Besides, with the Dark Lord's insightful abilities, he would definitely be able to see through it; your acting skills are definitely... terrible...
I haven't finished thinking about it yet.
Liu Ziru stared wide-eyed at the Dark Lord in disbelief...
The Dark Lord quickly waved his hand and said, "No rush, Senior Lu, why don't you go to the side hall to rest? We have many restorative pills in the Dark Domain; you can use whichever one you fancy!"
It seems they actually believed it...
Is that even possible?!
Liu Ziru slapped his forehead, indicating that he was in a bad mood.
Lu Changsheng glared at Liu Ziru without showing any emotion, then waved his hand at the Dark Lord and said, "No need, I have other things to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
"By the way, don't leak the information you gave me."
Upon hearing this, the Dark Lord nodded. "Of course, this news can't possibly appear anywhere else. Moreover, even Divine Lord- level power would have to pay an unbearable price to buy this information."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
He walked straight outside.
It brushed right past Liu Ziru's shoulder.
Liu Ziru breathed a sigh of relief.
I was just thinking that I didn't need to go back with Lu Changsheng right away. I would wait until he calmed down and forgot about this before returning to the Changsheng Realm.
But it was at this moment...
Lu Changsheng turned around, a half-smile on his face, and said, " Little Willow, aren't you coming back with me?"
Liu Ziru's relaxed body stiffened instantly!
His whole body stood straight, like a tall, straight spear!
Liu Ziru mechanically turned his head, looked at Lu Changsheng, and forced a smile, saying, "Heh... haha... hahaha, the Dark Lord still has a mission for me, Senior Lu, I'll come back later."
However, before Lu Changsheng could nod...
The Dark Lord chuckled and patted Liu Ziru on the shoulder, saying, "It's alright. Just follow Senior Lu and assist Senior Lu. I'll give the tasks to others; it's the same."
Liu Ziru forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "I, Five-Star Deacon, haven't done a mission in so long. Am I not fitting in? This doesn't conform to the rules of our Dark Domain, Dark Lord, don't you agree?"
As she said this, Liu Ziru was frantically blinking at the Dark Lord.
Unfortunately, the Dark Lord hadn't grasped Liu Ziru's meaning yet, and said with a smile, "It's rare that you have this intention. However, helping Senior Lu is your most important task right now, and only you can do it, so it's not a disconnect. You are still Five-Star Deacon of our Dark Domain."
I thank you...
I thank you, Mom!
If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't defeat the Dark Lord...
Liu Ziru really wanted to punch the Dark Lord's face, which he found so despicable!
Lu Changsheng, who was behind them, said with a smile, "Did you hear that, Little Willow? Come back with me, we have something very important to do back home."
When Lu Changsheng laughed, the sound of his laughter, falling into Liu Ziru's ears, was like that of a demon.
Moreover, when saying the words "very important," he deliberately gritted his teeth and said them again...
With a look of utter despair on her face, Liu Ziru followed Lu Changsheng and left the Dark Domain.
The Dark Lord watched the two figures depart and smiled.
It seems Liu Ziru is doing quite well by Lu Changsheng's side; she looks so happy.
