Rubbing the soul jade in his hand, Lu Chuan smacked his lips and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to Xiaoqing for reminding me, otherwise it would be troublesome."

When Lu Chuan and Situ Qinghuan were chatting, they learned that the reason why the sect made a life lamp for each disciple was to keep track of the disciple's life and death status in a timely manner. Once the life lamp went out, it meant that the disciple had encountered an unexpected accident.

But at the same time, the life lamp has another function.

If a disciple chooses to defect from the sect, the sect can use the wisp of spiritual consciousness stored in the life lamp to track him back, or even directly perform a ritual to curse the disciple.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Life Lamp that the sect is able to restrain its disciples.

Lu Chuan ignored this point when he entered the Bishui Palace. He thought that nothing would happen as he didn't make the Life Lamp. But it turned out that his aura was captured and made into a Soul Jade?
"From what you said, are you tempted?"

"Ta Ling, you really should reflect on yourself. As the former Empress Wuzhong, is this what you should say? Who made you become what you are now?"

"As the saying goes, 'A red flower becomes redder if it is close to a red flower, and a black flower becomes blacker if it is close to a black flower.' I stay with you every day, what good things do you think I can learn from you?"

"Haha. You are slandering me."

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes, pondered for a moment, then sighed and shook his head.

"I can't say I'm moved, I'm just grateful. Besides, isn't her life good now? How many people in the world are more noble than the Saintess of Fengyang Sect?"

"Lu Chuan, just think that I am worrying too much. I still think that Xiao Qing cannot be fully trusted. You must understand that the interests and goals of the two of you are in essential conflict and cannot be changed. If she helps you, she will harm her own interests. The life-saving grace is important, but her current situation is completely different from before. In order to maintain the position of the Holy Maiden of Fengyang Sect, people's hearts cannot be guessed."

"you mean"

"Without definite evidence, I naturally cannot be completely sure, but you'd better be careful."

Three days later!
Lu Chuan opened his eyes, felt the spiritual power filling his body, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that it is not a flash in the pan. After using the Spring of Regret to rebuild his purple Taoist foundation, the spiritual veins in his body can breathe in and out spiritual power freely. Lu Chuan can even clearly feel that his strength is stronger than before.

Counting the days, today is almost the day to leave. Even though the grand event is coming soon, Lu Chuan actually feels a little nervous.

After all, he had to go directly into the Han family. It could be said that Lu Chuan was walking on the edge of a knife. If he was not careful, he would end up in an irretrievable situation!

What's more troublesome is that after seeing the size of the tower spirit, Lu Chuan's trust in Xiao Qing has been slightly shaken.

If all this is a disguise, and Xiaoqing really has thoughts of harming Lu Chuan, this will be a fatal flaw!

It can be said that as long as Xiao Qing reveals Lu Chuan’s true identity, Lu Chuan will face siege from countless top sects!

This has become a hurdle that Lu Chuan cannot avoid.

Lu Chuan was very hesitant for a moment as to whether to take a gamble, trust that Xiao Qing would not harm him and go to the event with the team, or to find a chance to leave now and seek other methods in the future.

If he escaped from Fengyang Sect now, although his identity would be exposed, it would obviously not be easy to stop Lu Chuan with the power of Fengyang Sect alone.

Once he goes to the Han family, Lu Chuan will have no say on whether to go or stay.

"Ah, what should I do?"

Lu Chuan pinched his brows, his expression helpless. "Are you still worried about this?"

"How can I not be troubled? It would be fine if you didn't say it. Now that you said it, I also think it is possible. The small world wants to seize the earth. As the blood of the gatekeeper, I naturally have to stop it. It can be said that from the beginning, she and I stood on opposite sides."

"But there is no other way except the Fountain of Repentance. You will have to go through this sooner or later. It's just a matter of time."

"I'm just afraid that this grand event is actually a fire pit that has been prepared for me, just waiting for me to jump in."

Lu Chuan took a long breath, struggled to stand up, and said with a wry smile: "Well, let's fight once! Regardless of whether Xiaoqing is plotting against me or not, I must be vigilant!"

Lu Chuan still set off with the team.

Ta Ling was right. There was no other way except the Fountain of Regret. As long as the Han family controlled the Fountain of Regret, there would be a battle between him and the Han family. There was no way to avoid it.

This time, Lu Chuan travels with the team, and his chances of winning are at least 50%, so it's worth a gamble!
Sitting in the carriage, Lu Chuan secretly glanced at Xiao Qing. She seemed to be resting, closing her eyes and regulating her breathing. She looked extremely normal and didn't seem to have anything to hide.

"Could it be that I am just judging others by my own standards?"

Lu Chuan couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and waited until he arrived at the Han family, then everything would become clear.

The Han family is located in the Central Plains, and the team needs to go all the way north. The journey is long and will take at least three days.

If Lu Chuan walked on the clouds, it would actually take less than an hour. But after all, there were some maids and disciples accompanying the team, so time naturally slowed down a lot. In the past few days, Lu Chuan had been observing Xiao Qing's reactions and basically found no flaws.

But this is somewhat abnormal.

What to say?

Although there was no evidence, Lu Chuan still felt that Xiao Qing was a little too calm. She knew clearly that this event would most likely be ruined by Lu Chuan, and that many people would even be sacrificed, but she was not worried at all. That look and that tone were as if they had been rehearsed countless times beforehand, without any real emotion, and was extremely hypocritical.

Lu Chuan's intuition told him that this might not be that simple.

But now that things have come to this, it is useless to test them. We can only fight against the enemy with our own troops and bury the water with earth.

Three days later, the team finally arrived at the Han family. From afar, the mountains seemed to be shrouded in fairy mist and cranes were flying. All the well-known forces in the small world came to the scene, and the Buddhist sect and the Supreme Merciless Dao also put aside their past grudges and came together.

Lu Chuan even noticed the aura of Empress Wuzhong, who was so numerous that she could be described as a group of immortals.

The long line of carriages and horses alone was more than ten miles long. Each carriage was filled with rare and precious items, natural treasures, to the point where even Lu Chuan would drool at the sight of them.

I just don’t know if it was Lu Chuan’s illusion. For a moment, he seemed to catch a very familiar breath, but it quickly disappeared. Lu Chuan didn’t want to extend his perception for fear of being noticed by others, so he could only think it was his own illusion.

On the other side, inside a certain team.

Old Master Lu twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that he was indeed old. His movements were not smooth at all. He knocked the man out and took his place, actually revealing a little bit of his aura, but he thought that no one should notice it.

"Hehe, how can I not participate in such a grand event? I can take this opportunity to prepare some gifts for my two grandchildren!"
