Chapter 711 Golden Bottle
The matter of the space-time plank road is related to the demon clan's grand plan, and Rodan's delay is indeed puzzling. He pondered for a moment and was about to speak when he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then, Luo Dan's figure appeared in sight.
When Pei Sheng saw Luo Dan coming back, he felt relieved, as if a huge stone had fallen to the ground. He quickly stepped forward, opened the door, and let Rodin walk in. The appearance of Rodan slightly eased the tense atmosphere.
"Luo Dan, you are finally back." Pei Sheng's tone contained a bit of reproach, but more of a sense of relief, "Everyone is waiting for you. The time and space plank road matter cannot be delayed. Why are you so reluctant to go there?"
Luo Dan smiled slightly, and there was a hint of deep meaning in his eyes that was not easy to detect. "There are some things that need time to deal with. However, now that I am back, we can start discussing the business." His voice was calm and firm, as if everything was under control.
Elder Tianji silently observed Luo Dan. Although he could not see anything strange on the surface, his keen intuition told him that there seemed to be some secret hidden in Luo Dan. He coughed lightly and spoke slowly: "Luo Dan, what did you gain or discover when you went out this time?"
When Luo Dan heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, as if he was weighing what to say. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "There are indeed some discoveries, but we will discuss these matters in detail later. For now, let's solve the matter of the space-time plank road first."
Elder Tianji nodded and said nothing more. He knew that since Rodan was back, everything would have an answer. However, he vaguely felt that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed.
With the return of Rodan, the atmosphere in the Demon Castle became tense and orderly again. Everyone sat around the round table and began to discuss the specific matters of the space-time plank road. Elder Tianji, on the other hand, was silently observing everyone. In his mind, he had already begun to make plans one after another to deal with any changes that might occur.
In a secret room in the demon castle, the dim light flickered, reflecting two solemn faces. Elder Tianji sat at a simple stone table, staring sharply at Luo Dan across from him, as if he wanted to read his mind.
"Your body should not have been in the room during this period. You should have gone to other places." Elder Tianji's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to hit Luo Dan's heart, "You Where did this go? Or did it come from somewhere?”
When Luo Dan heard this, he nodded slightly without showing too much surprise on his face. He seemed to have expected that Elder Tianji would ask this question and had prepared an answer. "I went to some necessary places and dealt with some necessary things." His answer was vague and general, obviously not intending to reveal too many details.
Elder Tianji narrowed his eyes, obviously not satisfied with Luodan's answer. "Your skills are quite strong, why didn't you notice it before! But just in time, I also want to discuss with you the matter of de-criticality. We will set off tomorrow. It is quite lively outside today. The recent disappearance of the human race must be your fault. I’ve heard of it too!”
At this point, Elder Tianji's tone became serious. He knew that the disappearance of the human race had caused shock to the entire demon race, and the critical trip was a major event related to the future of the demon race. He had to make sure everything was under control.
After hearing this, Luo Dan was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "In order to ensure everyone's safety, everyone should stay in the inn for a while first and don't think about going out."
This sentence made Elder Tianji frown. He always felt that there was some mystery hidden in Luo Dan's words, as if he was deliberately delaying time. "You're not trying to drag us down again, are you?" Elder Tianji said with a hint of displeasure in his tone, "We are not that easy to deceive!"
Facing the threat from Elder Tianji, Luo Dan seemed unusually calm. He smiled slightly, with an unfathomable light in his eyes. "I, Luodan, have always been aboveboard in my actions. What I said has my own reasons. Everyone just needs to follow my arrangements, and I guarantee that everything will go smoothly."
Elder Tianji looked at Luo Dan, still full of doubts in his heart. But he knew that now was not the time to ask questions. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Well, since you said so, we will believe you for the time being. However, Rodan, I hope you can understand that the fate of all of us is closely connected. If you have any plans or discoveries, you must tell us in time ”
Rodan nodded, expressing understanding. He knew that Elder Tianji's worries were not without purpose. But he also has his own difficulties and plans, and now is not the time to reveal them.
As the conversation between the two ended, the atmosphere in the secret room became heavy and depressing again. They all know that the critical journey is full of unknowns and dangers. But no matter what, they must move forward bravely and fight for the future of the demon clan.
In the spacious hall of the demon castle, the lights were dim and warm, but it was difficult to dispel the tense atmosphere in the air. Luodan and Elder Tianji stood opposite each other, and the conversation between the two was full of gunpowder, as if it was about to explode.
"Why should I lie to you? It seems that lying to you will do me no good." Luo Dan's tone was relaxed, even a little joking, and his eyes flashed with a cunning light, as if he was laughing at Elder Tianji's unprovoked Suspicion.
Elder Tianji frowned when he heard this. Of course he knew what Luo Dan said was reasonable, but the doubts in his heart grew like weeds and were difficult to calm down. "If you are not afraid, then go to the city woman now!" There was a hint of provocation in his words, trying to provoke Luodan and get a glimpse of his true thoughts.
However, Luo Dan just smiled slightly, as if he had seen through Elder Tianji's plan. "Haha, go to the city woman? What's so difficult about that? But before that, I want to ask you, what exactly are you dissatisfied with me about? Why are you always so aggressive?"
Elder Tianji was choked up and speechless by Luo Dan's rhetorical question. He threw up his sleeves and left, feeling secretly annoyed in his heart. He knew that the contest between him and Rodan was never a simple battle of words.
When Rodan's figure appeared in the field of vision of several sects, the originally silent hall suddenly became noisy. Representatives of several sects suddenly stood up and came to Luo Dan one after another, surrounding him.
"You finally showed up, and we all still want to find you!" A sect representative said with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone. His eyes were fixed on Luo Dan, as if he wanted to see through him.
"What do you think of the current situation?" Another sect representative also spoke, his voice low and powerful, revealing his expectations and doubts about Luo Dan.
"Don't think about getting away with it, we are not fools!" Another sect representative added, with a bit of ridicule in his tone, obviously dissatisfied with Luo Dan's previous disappearance and current attitude.
Facing the questioning from everyone, Luo Dan seemed unusually calm. He smiled slightly and glanced at everyone, as if he wanted to see all their thoughts. "Of course I know you are not stupid, otherwise you wouldn't be standing here waiting in vain." There was a bit of ridicule in his words, but he also revealed his recognition and respect for everyone.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Luo Dan changed the subject and his expression became serious. "The current situation is indeed complicated, but it is not without a solution. I already have some ideas, but before that, I need to understand What are your views and attitudes on this matter?”
After hearing the words, everyone opened their mouths and expressed their opinions. The hall became lively again, but this time, it was full of discussion and cooperation. Luodan listened quietly, occasionally nodding or interjecting, and he already had a preliminary plan in mind. He knew that as long as everyone could unite as one, there would be no difficulty that could not be overcome.
In the secret conference room of the Demon Castle, the dim lights flickered, reflecting the solemn and nervous faces. Luodan stood in the center of the conference table, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, his tone carrying a hint of seriousness and concern.
"I came here today to tell you about the situation. In fact, you have also seen the current crisis." Luo Dan's voice echoed in the silent conference room, and every word seemed to hit everyone's hearts, "You This look is very revealing, so I bring this to you.”
As he spoke, Rodan took out a bloody monster skin bag from his arms and placed it heavily on the conference table. The hair on the skin was still stained with blood, and it was obviously the prey that had been recently hunted. When everyone saw this bloody scene, they couldn't help but take a breath and secretly felt lucky that they had not offended Luo Dan, otherwise such an end would be too miserable.
"This is the skin of a monster, and it is pure!" Rodan said with a hint of pride in his tone, "Put it on, and you will be able to better hide your aura and avoid being discovered by the enemy."
After hearing this, everyone gathered around and carefully observed the bloody monster skin. They had to admire Rodan's ability to obtain such a pure Warcraft skin. In fact, this skin was obtained by Rodan from those half-human and half-demon people before. He originally planned to use these skins to do something, and now they just come in handy.
"Thank you very much!" A sect representative spoke first, with a hint of gratitude and admiration in his voice. Representatives from other sects also echoed, expressing their appreciation for Luodan's generosity and wisdom.
After getting the answers they wanted, several sect representatives turned and left the conference room, preparing to go back and prepare for the upcoming crisis. Luo Dan looked at their backs, a deep light flashed in his eyes, and then he calmly withdrew his gaze.
"I will set up a barrier in the room during the next period of time." Luo Dan suddenly said, "You just tell the outside world that I need to retreat to recover, and don't disturb me during this period."
When Pei Sheng heard Luo Dan's words, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he couldn't believe his ears. "Are you still leaving?" He exclaimed, his tone full of confusion and worry.
Luo Dan smiled slightly and looked at Pei Sheng with eyes full of trust and determination. "Yes, I still have some things to deal with. But don't worry, I will be back as soon as possible. During this period, just do as I say and protect everyone's safety."
Although Pei Sheng's heart was full of reluctance and worry, he knew that Luo Dan's decision had always been carefully considered. He nodded, indicating that he would act according to Rodan's instructions. Then, he watched Luo Dan leave the conference room, silently praying in his heart that Luo Dan could return safely.
In the depths of the Demon Clan Castle, in a room with simple decoration but an extraordinary atmosphere, Pei Sheng and Luo Dan stood face to face. Pei Sheng's eyes were full of confusion and anxiety, and his words were filled with a bit of blame and helplessness: "You left such a big mess for me to clean up, and now you want to leave? What are you going to do? Tell me so that I can have an explanation."
When Luo Dan heard this, his eyes became deep. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "I have already said this, why don't you believe it? I want to go to the City Lord's Mansion to test the Demon Clan. They have been restless recently. I think they have ulterior motives and are not easy to deal with!"
Pei Sheng listened to Luo Dan's explanation, his brows were still furrowed, but the anxiety in his eyes eased a little. He knew that Luo Dan had always acted cautiously and would not make such a decision for no reason. However, he couldn't help but speak again: "What if there is any danger when you go? Have you considered the consequences?"
Luo Dan smiled slightly, his eyes revealing firmness and confidence. "I know my limits, don't worry. Besides, I keep you because you are capable of handling things here. I believe in you, just as you believe in me."
After speaking, Luo Dan's body suddenly became blurred, as if wrapped in a layer of light mist. Then, he disappeared from the spot, leaving only a trace of residual image and Pei Sheng's astonished eyes.
Pei Sheng looked at Luo Dan's back as he left, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that what Luo Dan said made sense, and the recent behavior of the demons was indeed disturbing. Moreover, since Luo Dan chose to go to the City Lord's Mansion to test, his decision must have been carefully considered. Thinking of this, Pei Sheng couldn't help but sigh and turned to devote himself to tedious affairs.
At the same time, in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord was discussing a series of recent events with several subordinates. Their faces were filled with seriousness and worry, as if they had sensed the coming storm.
"We haven't asked which clan the great man came from, nor do we know what incarnation the great man is." One of them said cautiously, his voice revealing a bit of uneasiness, "Do you think this demon is fake?"
The city lord heard this and shook his head, his eyes revealing determination and affirmation. (End of this chapter)
