Lu Ren was too lazy to deal with Xiao Chen. This guy hasn’t made much progress over the years, clearly feeling that his Martial Path had reached its limit, and rather than make insignificant improvements, he preferred to study how to enjoy domestic bliss with his wife and children.
He had already passed the age of feverish struggle...
After giving instructions to Xiao Chen and asking him to take care of Chen Han, Lu Ren thought for a while and added.
"Don’t let your guard down with her. If she lives honestly, then no need to mind her, but if anything unusual occurs, don’t hesitate to take action if you suspect something."
After giving his instructions, Lu Ren took one last glance at the unconscious Chen Han on the ground, and couldn’t help but sigh slightly in his heart.
Strange how someone so good could end up in this situation step by step.
Lu Ren’s face was cold, gazing firmly at the round moon in the sky, his eyes incredibly frosty.
Almost without exception, these Taoist sects that have continued from the Mythical Era treat ordinary people as pigs or dogs, subject to slaughter, sacrifice, or even raising them for food on the table.
Considering Chen Han’s case, such an outcome is already quite fortunate. He could clearly sense the intense Evil Qi emanating from Chen Han, clearly having taken countless lives, perhaps even seeing lives as insignificant as grass.
His thoughts were tumbling with various ideas.
Then, there’s one more question: He had never visited the Shangjing Sect, so why did the Shangjing Sect Church Leader suddenly issue such a killing order?
Never having met, yet wanting to kill him?!
If he didn’t address this, Lu Ren would find it hard to eat or sleep, tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep.
The next day, early in the morning, Lu Ren, who hadn’t slept all night, embarked immediately on a journey to the Kunlun Exotic Realm.
After spending an hour reaching the entrance of the Kunlun Exotic Realm, Lu Ren witnessed the surrounding snow-capped mountains, appearing extremely majestic, while the original mountain body had already been completely hollowed out, creating a huge burgeoning city centering on the Kunlun Exotic Realm with towering skyscrapers all around, extremely developed transportation. Floating cars, rarely seen in ordinary cities, were omnipresent here, even the pedestrians around were almost universally adept in martial arts.
Here, it gathered nearly fifty percent of Huaxia’s martial arts power.
Strolling along the street, watching the people coming and going, their faces glowing with a leisurely aura, Lu Ren couldn’t help but feel a bit skeptical about life. Content orıginally comes from Nove1Fire.net
Back then, when he came to this entrance, everyone was brimming with Evil Qi, with guns and cannons aimed at the Kunlun Exotic Realm, even burying two hydrogen bombs below the mountain body ready to detonate without hesitation if anything went wrong, completely destroying everything.
Now, however, the Kunlun Exotic Realm entrance in the city center had even become a tourist site. Lu Ren observed clearly that there was even a group of children being led by a teacher, explaining the site’s history as a tourist team.
Lu Ren stood quietly to the side listening, watching martial artists constantly entering and exiting the Kunlun Exotic Realm, everybody seemingly accustomed, paying no heed.
"...Our Western White Tiger Wen Lianggong staunchly defended against external invasions back then, ensuring a safe period for development, from which Huaxia began to fully promote martial arts, resulting in today’s prosperity."
Following this, the teacher encouraged the children to study earnestly, learning both martial arts and culture, filling them with fiery enthusiasm, responding non-stop.
Just as he was about to enter the Kunlun Exotic Realm, a hand stopped him, and Lu Ren turned his head to find a man dressed as a ticket attendant, yet with alarmingly high martial cultivation.
An elite expert at the Determination Path Realm, a rare presence even in the city named Kunlun.
"Friend, please scan your ID."
They even check tickets here?
Lu Ren searched himself and apologized somewhat embarrassed: "Sorry, I didn’t bring it."
"Didn’t bring it?" The man raised an eyebrow, then gestured to a youth conducting a check nearby.
"Little Zhang, come over and use the robot for facial recognition."
Little Zhang hurried over, using a scanning gun to aim at Lu Ren, projecting indigo light that swept over him and displayed Lu Ren’s information on his portable tablet.
Upon seeing the information, Little Zhang widened his eyes and handed the tablet to the man blocking Lu Ren.
"Mr. Liu, look! It’s him!!!"
"What are you shouting about? Haven’t you seen it before or what? Shameful, don’t tell people outside you’re my subordinate." Liu Yanbin was somewhat displeased; his eyes scanned the tablet, surprised, then looked at Lu Ren, respect and excitement in his gaze.
What? Did he get a promotion? With so little time away, he got upgraded from Railway Bureau to Warden?
Lu Ren was speechless yet understood that this was the highest rank he could receive currently; beyond this, only the leader was left with no other positions available.
Liu Yanbin was somewhat at a loss, accompanied by a face full of excitement: "I’m your fan! I’ve grown up watching your combat videos, never thought I’d meet you. Could you sign for me?"
What could Lu Ren say, feeling that after two or three decades, the new generation of martial artists had grown, and he, as an elder, wasn’t forgotten by society, he felt quite gratified.
He nodded, smiling: "Of course, no problem."
Once Lu Ren agreed, Liu Yanbin hurriedly brought paper and pen, and after signing, Lu Ren exchanged a few words and patted Liu Yanbin’s shoulder.
"You have good talent; the Blazing Fire Scripture you’re practicing was left by me years ago. You can also study the Taoist Immortal Skin and Bone Technique more, as it complements the scripture you’re currently practicing."
"Great, great!! Thanks for the advice from a great figure!"
As Lu Ren was about to enter, Liu Yanbin eagerly escorted him all the way inside, making Lu Ren feel somewhat uncomfortable yet secretly pleased.
Damn, no wonder many want to be celebrities; being chased by such fans indeed feels nice.
Re-entering the Kunlun Exotic Realm, what came into Lu Ren’s view was a punk-style metropolis, even in broad daylight the projections and neon lights were dazzling.
This was a subterranean city, with Divine Sense spreading out, numerous gathering places forming nodes extending web-like around the central city.
Moreover, Lu Ren discovered numerous mines, being excavated and collected by large machinery.
