After Lu Changsheng took Liu Ziru away from the Dark Domain.
The Dark Lord turned around and first sensed the strength of the Dark God Star Killing Array.
A short while later, an old man also arrived at the place.
The old man was none other than Elder Yang.
Looking at the Dark God Star Killing Array, the Dark Lord asked with a solemn expression, " Elder Yang, how much has the Dark God Star Killing Array improved?"
With the Dark Lord's current strength, he indeed cannot discern the profound mysteries of this level of formation.
Little did anyone know, Elder Yang's expression was also extremely solemn as he slowly said, " The Dark God Star Killing Array is now considered a top-tier array even in the Immortal Realm."
"Moreover, Lu Changsheng only spent the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn to improve the formation..."
Two incense sticks' worth of time were enough to improve it to this extent.
This filled Elder Yang with dread...
The Dark Lord sighed, "It seems that Senior Lu's strength is still limitless. We can only befriend such powerful individuals, not antagonize them."
Elder Yang nodded. "Fortunately, the relationship between the Dark Domain and Lu Changsheng is still developing in a positive direction."
"Should I inform Liu Ziru and tell him to be more careful?" The Dark Lord turned to look at Elder Yang.
Elder Yang shook his head. "There's no need to deliberately remind you; just let things take their natural course. If you try too hard, it will backfire."
The Dark Lord nodded upon hearing this.
"What was Lu Changsheng's reaction after hearing that news?" Elder Yang asked the Dark Lord.
After recalling the events, the Dark Lord described the scene.
Elder Yang frowned slightly and said, "It seems there's some connection to him. Lu Changsheng is someone even those who can't detect the secrets of heaven can't discern. The great calamity that's happening now might all be related to Lu Changsheng. Whether he'll participate in the calamity or avert it, we don't know..."
The Dark Lord nodded. "I just hope this calamity won't affect our Dark Domain..."
On the way back to the Changsheng Realm.
Liu Ziru looked at Lu Changsheng, not daring to speak.
Lu Changsheng didn't even glance at Liu Ziru.
This made Liu Ziru very apprehensive.
After returning to the Changsheng Realm.
Huang Qian's first words upon seeing the two were...
"Oh? How come Little Willow doesn't have a single injury? That shouldn't be the case."
Liu Ziru almost turned and ran away.
Sister, I'm already buried up to my neck! If you keep talking, I'm going to be buried alive!
Lu Changsheng waved his hand, and a bamboo chair appeared behind him.
After sitting down.
Crunch, crunch...
Even this ordinary sound made Liu Ziru feel a sense of danger...
Lu Changsheng smiled and looked at Liu Ziru, asking, "Tell me, is there anything you want to explain?"
Liu Ziru's expression froze, then he stammered, " Senior Lu... you... you hear my excuse... oh no, hear my explanation!"
Lu Changsheng smiled and raised his chin, saying, "Please begin your performance."
"It's like this, Senior Lu," Liu Ziru said, tears streaming down her face. "I actually thought Ji Qianyao would be in the Heavenly River Star Region, but by the time I thought of it, you were already gone. I chased after you for a long time."
"But as you know, with Senior Lu's strength, how could I possibly catch up with you?"
The more Liu Ziru spoke, the more confident he became, explaining in a very articulate manner, "I only caught up with you to the Heavenly River Star Region after you reached the Dark Domain. When you arrived in the Dark Domain, Senior Lu saw how disheveled I looked after rushing at full speed!"
"Oh, is that so?" Lu Changsheng asked with a half-smile.
"Yes! Absolutely true!" Liu Ziru nodded emphatically. "Don't believe me? Ask around..."
He had just turned his gaze to Huang Qian when he abruptly turned away, saying gravely, "No need to ask, everything I said is correct, I haven't deceived Senior Lu!"
Lu Changsheng looked at Huang Qian.
"Looks like there's more to the story. Huang Qian, would you like to add something?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ziru's expression changed drastically. She quietly walked out of Lu Changsheng's sight, then clasped her hands together in prayer towards Huang Qian.
Seeing this, Huang Qian smiled slightly and said, "Of course I know."
"What Little Willow said is indeed true."
Liu Ziru had just breathed a sigh of relief.
Huang Qian then changed the subject, saying, "However..."
but?
"However, after you left, Little Willow's first reaction to this wasn't to chase after you, but to burst into laughter, the kind of laughter that almost brings tears to her eyes, while she was still laughing and talking."
Huang Qian mimicked Liu Ziru's expression, "I'm afraid Senior Lu's head will be in for a lot of pain this time..."
"Yes, that's it."
Seeing this scene...
Liu Ziru froze instantly, dumbfounded, stunned.
No, ma'am, you...?
Okay, okay, is this how you play it?
Not only did you say it, but you also embellished it, exaggerated it, and even used facial expressions!
What grudge could they possibly have?
Liu Ziru wanted to make a move, but he couldn't defeat Huang Qian either!
At this moment.
A voice that Liu Ziru least wanted to hear came crashing down on her.
"Oh? Really? Little Willow, it seems you were quite gloating back then?"
Liu Ziru turned her neck, looked at Lu Changsheng with a mournful face, and then immediately knelt down with a "plop".
" Senior Lu, it's really not that exaggerated. How could I possibly treat you like that?"
"You should have your own ideas! It's obvious who to believe!"
Huang Qian's expression is so exaggerated, she must be exaggerating!
Lu Changsheng nodded and said, "You're right."
Liu Ziru breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I trust Huang Qian."
Liu Ziru wanted to die.
"Alright." Lu Changsheng suddenly took out dozens of bottles and jars.
It was filled with pills of various colors.
Some of these pills even emitted an indescribable odor...
Liu Ziru instantly felt his heart pounding.
Lu Changsheng smiled and pointed at the bottles and jars, saying, "I won't beat you up anymore. Let's try these newly created pills."
"Don't worry, it won't kill you. Even if it does, I'll do everything I can to bring you back to life."
Liu Ziru's face turned deathly pale.
"I have other options..."
"Why don't you just hit me, Senior Lu..."
Lu Changsheng smiled and said, "No, but you can choose to have me beat you up until you have no strength left to resist, and then I'll force the pill into your mouth."
With tears in her eyes, Liu Ziru walked toward the bottles and jars.
"If I am gone, please treat the Liu Lineage well, Senior Lu."
Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile.
Heavenly River Star Region.
Ji Qianyao has awakened from her cultivation state.
She has now successfully reached the Middle God Emperor Realm.
The enhancement brought about by the fusion of Hongmeng Purple Qi and the Jade Lake Heart Sutra is immense!
Ji Qianyao looked at her master beside her and asked, "Master, he's gone?"
Ji Liuzhi nodded.
Ji Qianyao gazed beyond the Heavenly River Star Region, as if searching for Lu Changsheng's shadow.
He stared at it for a long, long time before finally letting out a soft sigh, his fighting spirit rekindling in his eyes.
"Next time we meet, I must have the ability to help Senior Lu!"
