Not long after the door closed, the space in front of the white palace started to ripple. Lu Chen walked out from it and looked at the palace with a grave expression.

After Fang Bai entered the palace, Lu Chen discovered that the spirit imprint he had left on Fang Bai's body was gone. There were only two possibilities; one was that Fang Bai had discovered the imprint and erased it, and the other was that something had obstructed Lu Chen's control over his spirit imprint.

Lu Chen stood in front of the white palace with his head lowered, thinking for a moment. He raised his head to look at the white palace before him, intending to directly enter the palace.

"Bang!" Lu Chen's figure appeared ten meters away from the palace. Lu Chen was covering his chest with his hands as he looked at the palace with a grave expression, taking a long time to calm the chaotic aura in his body. Lu Chen reached out his hand and lightly touched a barrier, knowing that he was stopped by this barrier right in front of the white palace.

"Tens of thousands of formations, blood and gore." He placed his hands gently on the barrier and saw a transparent wall appear in front of the originally empty white palace. The walls of the palace were rippling like the surface of a lake and after a while, Lu Chen's hands reached into the wall, then his entire body followed in.

He took a look at the barrier behind him and once again disappeared from where he stood. The enchantment behind Lu Chen flashed a few more times before it disappeared again.

"Huh?" When Lu Chen entered through the enchantment, a person within the depths of the white palace let out a soft sound of surprise.

"Zuo Ying, what's wrong?" A person wearing a black crescent-shaped mask asked. Although the man didn't emit any spiritual energy fluctuations and his tone was very calm, the few people sitting on the ground felt a deep sense of oppression.

The person called Zuo Ying laughed lightly and said, "My Lord, there's nothing wrong. It's just that a mouse seems to have run into the outside world."

"Aiya, to actually let Lao Shu come in. Hu Lei, your subordinates are really here." the man on the left with the white fox mask on his face mocked. From her figure and voice, one could tell that she was a woman, but from the spiritual energy waves she gave off, one could tell that she was a mid stage Soul Formation cultivator.

As soon as the woman finished her sentence, she heard a person wearing a black tiger mask sitting opposite her say, "Xi She, you just take care of your subordinate. That mouse might have been brought back by that trash."

"Hmph. Hu Lei's words must have a basis. Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you're a protector of the heavens?" "No," Serpent said. Moreover, the few of them could feel that Serpent was about to attack.

What a mess. My lord, it seems that we want to spar. Are you willing?" The only girl sitting across Zuo Ying who wasn't wearing a mask said with a chuckle. The woman wore a white dress with a few red bewitching flowers embroidered on it. Her black hair was casually scattered behind her back, and a black spider was tattooed on her arm. Her almond-shaped eyes looked very attractive, and her snow-white skin made people want to kiss her. However, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations emitting from her body were even more intense than Hu Lei and the others. It was obvious that she was at the late stage of Soul Formation.

"Since the Tarantula has already spoken, then don't fight anymore." The person in the main seat said indifferently. However, when he looked at the Tarantula, there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

The Tarantula didn't seem to notice the coldness in the eyes of the person in its master's seat. Instead, it smiled as it sat in its seat and played with its hair. Its eyes flickered as if it was thinking about something.

"Zuo Ying, go deal with that mouse and Fang Bai. I don't want useless people." The person in the main seat spoke indifferently, but his words were laced with a thick chill.

Warm Serpent's eyes flashed a look of unwillingness, but it was quickly concealed. As for Hu Lei, he was looking at her with a face full of schadenfreude.

"Satisfied, my lord." After saying that, Zuo Ying's body slowly faded until he disappeared from where he stood.

And right now, Lu Chen didn't know that his entrance had been discovered by someone in the hall, nor did he know that the other party had sent a mid stage Soul Formation cultivator to deal with him.

Lu Chen walked along the main path of the Main Hall, and only the sound of his own footsteps could be heard in the hall. As Lu Chen walked further and further, a trace of unease appeared in Lu Chen's heart, as if he would encounter danger if he continued walking in.

He mocked himself in his heart. Lu Chen ignored the unease in his heart, but just as he was about to continue walking forward, he heard a 'bang' sound. The wall on his left had been broken through, and a black shadow flew out from it.

Lu Chen hurriedly dodged to the side. When he saw the face of the black figure that flew out, he was stunned on the spot. That black figure was Fang Bai who he had been following after. He opened his eyes wide, revealing a pained expression. The spiritual energy fluctuations around his body also completely disappeared.

Lu Chen went up to confirm that Fang Bai was really dead. His heart was filled with shock and doubt, unable to figure out who had killed him, and what was his motive for doing so.

Lu Chen was so focused on his thoughts that he did not notice that there was a black figure silently approaching him from behind.

"Dang!" With a crisp sound, Lu Chen withdrew his Fire Cloud Sword and looked behind him warily.

He had originally been thinking about who had killed Fang Bai when he suddenly felt a sense of danger approaching him. He unhesitatingly used his Fire Cloud Sword to block this attack.

"Hehehe, your consciousness seems to be very strong. It seems that you can let me enjoy it a bit more." Zuo Ying's voice came from behind Lu Chen.

Lu Chen turned around, but didn't find anyone. His heart immediately sank, and his expression turned grave.

"May I ask who you are, and why are you so afraid of not showing yourself?" Lu Chen said coldly.

"Kid, you're really arrogant." Lu Chen heard a voice coming from his left, and when he turned around, he saw Zuo Ying standing less than a meter away from him. He looked at Lu Chen with a sneer.

Lu Chen retreated a few steps to the side, vigilantly looking at Zuo Ying. Lu Chen discovered that the person in front of him had the same spiritual energy as Lin You Yuan from time to time.

On the other side of Lu Chen, Zuo Ying was looking at Lu Chen with a relaxed expression. From time to time, he would stretch his waist, "Alright, let's begin our game." With that, Zuo Ying's figure disappeared from Lu Chen's sight.

Lu Chen hastily used his Spiritual Sense to scan his surroundings, but he couldn't feel any trace of Spiritual Energy fluctuations. The unease in his heart grew even stronger.

Just as Lu Chen was looking around for Zuo Ying, a hand suddenly reached out from the wall and grabbed Lu Chen.

Before Lu Chen could react, he felt that hand tightening his grip, causing his breathing to become obstructed.

"Fire Dragon!" A fire dragon suddenly jumped out from his body and swallowed the hand that was grabbing Lu Chen.

With a "hu hu" sound, Lu Chen was released. He panted heavily as he looked around vigilantly. However, the surroundings were still quiet without any abnormalities.

"Master, be careful that this person uses Shadow Control, all the shadows are his attacks." Xiao Jin's voice came from within Lu Chen's heart.

Hearing Xiao Jin's words, Lu Chen's heart sank. Looking at the illuminated surroundings, he immediately had an idea.

"Fire Dragon Slash!" Lu Chen let out a low growl as he swung Fire Cloud Sword towards the luminous stones around him. Every single one of them caused the walkway to become darker. After Lu Chen had chopped up Ye Mingshi's stone, the entire corridor was engulfed in darkness.

Although there was no light anymore, Lu Chen did not relax. That was because when he was chopping down the Night Bright Stone, Zuo Ying did not interfere with him. This was too illogical.

"Hehehe, you are indeed decisive. However, have you forgotten that there are not only lights that can cast shadows in this world?" Zuo Ying ridiculed.

Lu Chen was stunned. He felt a hand come out from his body and tightly grab his neck. Lu Chen immediately circulated his spiritual energy to try and break free, but the struggle was useless. His hand only tightened instead. At the same time, Lu Chen's nascent soul was trapped within his body, unable to escape.

"How can I die in a place like this? How can I lose just like that? I can't accept it!" All of these thoughts flashed through Lu Chen's mind before he fell into a coma.

"Zuo Ying, on account of you playing with me for a while, I'll send you to the Thousand Monster Mountain. Moreover, I haven't fed them for a day, I believe they will like the meat on your body and your nascent soul." Zuo Ying looked at the unconscious Lu Chen and casually waved his hand before disappearing on the spot.

"This Zuo Ying still has such a bad taste, but it really does have more fun now." The Tarantula walked out from the shadows after Zuo Ying and Lu Chen had disappeared. It looked at the spot where Zuo Ying had disappeared and laughed softly.
