The moment his hand touched the little girl's hand, his numb face suddenly showed an expression of extreme fear, and his whole body began to tremble.

Then the old madman clutched his head and howled in agony, like the mournful cry of a lone wolf, two streams of hot tears streaming down his cloudy eyes.

"They're all dead, all of them are dead... Endless skeletons, mountains of corpses and seas of blood... It... has come again..."

While crying, the old madman suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed, appearing completely insane.

Seeing the old madman's crazy appearance, crying and laughing at the same time, Huang Rong was so frightened that she clung tightly to Lu Chen's arm. Xu Qi'an and Xiao Yan also moved closer to Lu Chen's side.

Just then, the little girl's sweet and soft voice rang out again:

"Grandpa, what's wrong? Do you feel like you don't have enough to eat? If you don't, I can get you some more."

After the little girl spoke, the old madman's emotions suddenly and strangely calmed down. The expression on his face changed from fear to loneliness and sadness. His eyes, which had been cloudy for thousands of years, regained a brief moment of clarity at this moment.

Seeing this, Lu Chen didn't hesitate at all and spoke loudly:

"Senior, the person is gone. Why dwell on the pain of the past?"

"Moreover, there are still our predecessors living in this world!"

"Old friend?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the old madman turned to look at Lu Chen, and the turbidity in his eyes lessened somewhat.

Lu Chen immediately continued:

"At the Tianxuan Stone Archway in the Holy City of the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, Senior's junior brother Wei Yi is the gatekeeper there."

"Xiao Wei?"

Upon hearing the name "Wei Yi," the old madman became excited, and a dazzling light shot from his eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Chen did not stop and continued speaking:

"Although the Holy Maiden Tianxuan has been lost in the desolate ancient forbidden land and become a slave, there may still be a day when she can escape."

Upon hearing this, the old madman became extremely agitated. He slowly and powerfully moved his hands in the air, and a huge picture slowly appeared in front of Lu Chen and the others.

The scene depicts mountains of white bones and a sea of ​​blood. In the very center of the painting, a woman of ethereal beauty stands aloof from the world, dressed in white, with flowing black hair and a lifelike facial expression.

Although Lu Chen had never met her, he knew that the woman in the painting was the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan.

Seeing the scene before them, Xu Qi'an and the others stared in shock.

But the old madman did not stop. He moved his hands again, and profound Taoist charm flowed out, carving a bright and divine character "仙" (immortal) on the pattern.

The character "仙" (immortal) seemed to possess a strange magic, dimming all the figures within the pattern until only a vague, indistinct image remained around it, even blurring the image of the Heavenly Maiden at the very center.

The design exudes a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere, and the character "仙" (immortal) contains endless Taoist charm, giving people a sense of the boundless Tao and the natural way.

The old madman raised his hand and pointed at his own forehead.

The pattern suspended in mid-air instantly transformed into a brand, rushing into the old madman's head.

The old madman's face also displayed a rich array of expressions, including "joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness."

A moment later, as the entire "Immortal" character pattern was integrated, the old madman's emotions gradually calmed down.

His gaze swept over Lu Chen and the other three, lingering briefly on Lu Chen before he raised his hand and struck out with his palm, leaving a mysterious pattern on a large rock nearby.

Lu Chen stared at the mysterious pattern for a moment, and then a mysterious halo suddenly shot out from the pattern, rushing into his eyes and imprinting itself on his mind.

Lu Chen sorted through the information that came to mind and quickly realized that the pattern recorded one of the famous techniques of the Tianxuan Holy Land, the Tianxuan Steps.

Lu Chen was very clear about the origin of this "Tianxuan Step Technique," as it was a secret technique created from an incomplete "Xingzi Secret."

The old madman left behind the "Tianxuan Steps" probably to express his gratitude for the information he had just received.

After the light flashed, the large rock on the ground had turned into dust, leaving nothing behind.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Lu Chen bowed to the old madman.

The old madman didn't speak, but turned to look at the little girl beside him. Looking into the little girl's bright eyes, the old madman's expression became increasingly complicated.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned a seven-colored stone from the little girl's pocket, which then floated in mid-air.

But just then, a glimmer of confusion flashed through the old madman's eyes, which had regained their clarity. The old madman frowned, raised his hand, and pointed at the seven-colored stone. The seven-colored stone immediately emitted a seven-colored light and then fell into Lu Chen's hand.

Then the old madman turned and left. His steps seemed slow, but with each step, he appeared hundreds of feet away. After a few steps, his figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

"call!"

As soon as the old madman's figure disappeared, Xu Qi'an and Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground together.

"Brother Lu, what was the strength of that big shot just now? His aura was terrifying!"

Xiao Yan rubbed his stiff body and spoke with a look of lingering fear.

Lu Chen reached out and pulled the little girl back into his arms, sat down by the campfire, and said with a gentle smile:

"That person just now was indeed a big shot."

"This is the holy son of the Tianxuan Holy Land six thousand years ago. Because the entire Tianxuan Holy Land was wiped out in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, his Dao heart was shattered, and he became the crazy person he is now."

"Six thousand years?"

"That old man has lived for six thousand years?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Xiao Yan and Xu Qi'an were so shocked that their mouths dropped open.

"That's right."

Lu Chen nodded affirmatively, then looked at Xiao Yan and said with a smile:

"As for his strength, he is a level higher than the Dou Di in your world. Even if he is not in his right mind now and can only exert 20% or 30% of his strength, he still has the combat power of a Dou Di."

"Battle Emperor!"

Xiao Yan's mouth was already agape in an "O" shape.

In his world, the existence of a Dou Di is nothing more than a legendary figure.

Actually, it's not fair to say that he's a Dou Di. If it weren't for Yao Chen, even a Dou Zun would be a legendary figure to Xiao Yan.

But for people in his entire world, the level of Dou Di truly only exists in legends.

As it turns out, he only came to Lu Chen's place today to hold a group gathering for his friends, but he ended up running into a terrifyingly powerful expert above the Dou Di level!

This thrilling experience left Xiao Yan feeling somewhat dizzy.
