.He must ensure the safety of Rodan, and he must also ensure that the interests of the City Lord's Mansion are not harmed.
"Zhao Tian, you did a good job." The city lord said solemnly, with a hint of appreciation in his tone, "But this matter is beyond your ability. Luo Dan's retreat practice has caused too much commotion, and there are already people He is starting to get his ideas. You must leave here and return to your post to protect the safety of the City Lord’s Mansion.”
When Zhao Tian heard this, his heart sank. He knew that what the city lord said was right, but he also understood that once he left here, he would never have the chance to learn more about Rodan. He glanced at the closed door, a trace of reluctance and determination flashed in his eyes.
"City Lord, I understand what you mean." Zhao Tian took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm, "But please allow me to stay for a while, just for a while. I think maybe there is something else I can do for Lord Luo Dan. .”
"No courtesy, no courtesy," the city lord waved his hand, indicating that Zhao Tian didn't have to be too formal. There was a hint of urgency and curiosity in his voice, "I was practicing just now, but I was suddenly shocked by the shock coming from here. It was a strange feeling, like a call from ancient times, which made me feel relaxed and happy, but also a little inexplicable. ”
As he said that, the city lord's eyes became cold and deep, his eyes were like torches, staring closely at Zhao Tian, as if he wanted to penetrate his soul and explore the source of the shock. "Where does this vibration come from? Do you know?" His voice was low and powerful, not hiding the curiosity and inquiry in his eyes.
Zhao Tian felt the sharp gaze of the city lord and couldn't help but trembled in his heart, but then he calmed down. He knew that this matter was of great importance and he must tell the truth. "City Lord, to be honest, this shock came from Master Luodan's room. I stayed here for many days and witnessed with my own eyes the process of Master Luodan's retreat. The spiritual energy he released was intertwined with the devilish energy, An unprecedentedly powerful force was formed, and it was this force that caused the shock. ”
When the city lord heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and a flash of shock and disbelief flashed in his eyes. "Lodan? He...he is so powerful?" The city lord's voice trembled slightly, obviously shocked by the news. He knew that Rodan had an extraordinary origin, but he never thought that he could be so powerful.
"Yes, City Lord." Zhao Tian nodded with a firm tone, "I have seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. The power of that aura is unprecedented. I dare say that even you, the City Lord, may not be able to achieve that. height.”
The city lord was silent for a moment, seemingly digesting the shocking news. He knew that Zhao Tian would not lie, and he also understood the seriousness of this matter. If Rodan really has such a strong strength, then it will undoubtedly be a huge opportunity for the City Lord's Mansion, but it is also a potential threat.
"Could it be the new adult?" The city lord murmured to himself, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes, "Who is he? How can he possess such amazing power?"
Zhao Tian looked at the city lord, his heart filled with doubts and curiosity. He knew that Rodan's identity and strength were probably far more complicated than he imagined. As the guard of the City Lord's Mansion, he must fulfill his duties faithfully and protect this secret. At the same time, he also looks forward to following Rodan and learning more.
"City Lord, what should we do?" Zhao Tian couldn't help but ask. He wanted to know the City Lord's attitude and plans towards this matter.
The city lord took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm and resolute again. "Zhao Tian, you have done a good job. I will handle this matter personally. You continue to stay here to ensure the safety of Lord Luo Dan. At the same time, I will also strengthen the security of the City Lord's Mansion to prevent any accidents from happening."< br>
Zhao Tian nodded, secretly glad in his heart. He knew that with the city lord here, Lord Luodan's safety should be guaranteed. And he will continue to stick here, looking forward to following Rodan to a broader world.
His eyes were full of shock, as if he had seen something incredible, his pupils trembled slightly, and there was unconcealable astonishment in his voice: "What kind of technique is Luo Dan practicing? This... this is actually a long-lost tradition of our demon clan. "Demon Devouring Technique"! How is this possible? ”
Zhao Tian stood aside, his eyes flickering, thinking secretly in his heart. In fact, he did not tell the complete truth and concealed half of the key information. He is well aware of the preciousness and power of the "Devouring Demon Art", and he also understands what kind of uproar and contention it will cause once the news gets out. More importantly, he discovered that the overflowing demonic energy during Luo Dan's cultivation could be absorbed. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to improve.
"City Lord, what I just said is true." Zhao Tian's tone was sincere, but there was a hint of subtle cunning hidden in his eyes, "Lord Luo Dan's practice has indeed caused a shock, and the aura is so powerful that it has never been seen before. But... ..." He paused deliberately to whet the City Lord's appetite.
"But what?" the city lord asked eagerly, full of curiosity and expectation about Rodan's cultivation.
Zhao Tian took a deep breath and decided to tell part of the truth, but he still chose to hide the key part: "However, I found that when Lord Luodan was practicing, some demonic energy would leak out. Although there is not much, but it is It is extremely pure and is a great supplement for demons like us. I... I tried to absorb some and found that it helped my cultivation a lot."
When the city lord heard this, a trace of surprise and greed flashed in his eyes. He is well aware of the preciousness of demonic energy and understands what this means to demon cultivators. However, he did not show his intention immediately, but asked in a deep voice: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? This is a big deal!" Zhao Tian's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface: "City Lord, I ...I'm afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. After all, Master Luo Dan's cultivation situation is too special. If outsiders find out, it may cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, there is not much demonic energy leaking out. I thought it was just a coincidence, so..."
The city lord looked at Zhao Tian with deep eyes, as if he was weighing something. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "Zhao Tian, you did the right thing. This matter really shouldn't be made public. However, since you have discovered this secret, you must make good use of it. You continue to stay here to ensure that Lord Luo Dan's Safety. At the same time, try to absorb the overflowing demonic energy and improve your cultivation.”
Zhao Tian felt happy, knowing that his selfishness had the tacit approval of the city lord. He bowed respectfully: "Yes, City Lord. I will definitely fulfill my duties and protect Lord Luodan, and at the same time, I will work hard to improve my cultivation."
However, Zhao Tian was secretly thinking: Although the amount of demonic energy that escapes each time is not much, as long as he can accumulate more with less, one day he will become powerful enough. By then, even the city lord may not be able to shake his position. This secret he will always keep in his heart and become a stepping stone on his way to power.
"This big shot is really powerful. He has not shown any flaws so far." Zhao Tian stood next to the city lord, his eyes fixed on the room where Luo Dan was practicing in seclusion, his tone was full of awe and admiration, "In fact, the Dragon Clan does have It is a secret within the Dragon Clan to be able to change one's bloodline by simply modifying one's body. It is simply unbelievable that this person can do it!"
Hearing this, the city lord frowned slightly, and a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes: "It seems that this gentleman has a very high status in the family, otherwise there is no way to learn these mysterious secrets. The Dragon Clan has always respected blood, and being able to master it This secret method of changing bloodline is enough to show that his status in the family is extraordinary.”
Their expressions did not change, but their hearts were filled with turmoil. When they had contact with Luo Dan before, they had already noticed the extraordinary temperament exuded in his every move. That kind of nobility and majesty seemed to be innate. At this moment, they were even more convinced that Luodan was definitely not a creature in the pool. Maybe he was the heir of the Dragon Clan and would lead the entire Dragon Clan in the future.
"City Lord, we'd better take good care of you." Zhao Tian whispered, his eyes flashing with expectation and desire, "Since you have chosen to practice in seclusion here, you have placed your trust in us. We can't live up to this. Trust, we must serve you well and let him feel our sincerity and loyalty. Maybe you can help us become real demons and get rid of this embarrassing identity of half human and half demon!"
The city lord nodded, with the same expectation flashing in his eyes: "You are right. Although we are demons, we are discriminated against because of our impure blood. If we can get the favor of the adults, maybe we really have a chance. Change our destiny and become a true demon. At that time, we will no longer be looked down upon by others, but can stand upright among the demons and stand side by side with those noble dragons."
< br>
The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of longing and expectation for the future. They know that Rodan is the key to changing their destiny and the ladder to a higher realm. Therefore, they became more determined to take good care of Rodan, hoping to win his trust and favor through their own efforts.
Therefore, in the following days, Zhao Tian and the city lord took more care of Luo Dan. Not only did they ensure his safety, they also often sent him various precious cultivation resources and supplements. And Luo Dan has lived up to their expectations. His cultivation is constantly improving, and the aura of the dragon from ancient times is getting stronger and stronger. This made Zhao Tian and the city lord even more convinced that their choice was correct, and Rodan was the key to changing their destiny.
In fact, Luo Dan had already captured the conversation between Zhao Tian and the city lord outside through his keen perception in the secret room where he was practicing in seclusion. He frowned slightly, and his heart was full of doubts. He turned to look at the sword energy floating beside him, shining with a faint light, and asked softly: "Why are these people so eager for the spiritual evil energy? What is this evil energy?" Something very important, but I’ve never heard of it!”
The sword energy trembled slightly, as if he was thinking about how to better explain this problem. After a moment, it spoke slowly, and its voice echoed in Rodan's mind: "This demon clan has gradually weakened and is no longer as glorious as it used to be. They are now facing various challenges and difficulties, and strength has become what they desire most. Something. Demonic energy, as the foundation of the demons’ cultivation, has naturally become what they are chasing after. It's just that they are targeting you now, because the aura emanating from your body makes them mistakenly believe that you have a lot of demonic energy, but you don't have to worry too much, as long as you stay vigilant and don't expose yourself easily. Even with their own details, they won’t dare to attack you easily.”
After hearing this, Luo Dan nodded thoughtfully, but then he revealed new doubts: "However, these of mine are not demonic energy at all, but the fusion of spiritual energy and sword intention that naturally occur when I practice. These people Will it be okay if I misuse it? ”
Jian Qi chuckled, with a hint of comfort in his voice: "You can rest assured about this. Although they mistakenly thought it was demonic energy, in fact, the power generated by your practice contains pure sword intention. and aura, for them, although it may not be directly improved cultivation, but it won't cause any harm. What's more, it's not easy for them to absorb this power. Your cultivation and realm are far above them, and they want to spy on your secrets. I have to get through this first.”
After hearing Jian Qi's words, the doubts in Luo Dan's heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a firm belief. He knows that his cultivation path is still long and he will encounter more challenges and tests in the future. But as long as he is accompanied by sword energy and supported by this pure and powerful power, he will have the confidence to face all difficulties and move towards a higher realm.
So, Luo Dan closed his eyes again and continued to be immersed in the world of cultivation. Zhao Tian and the city lord outside were still discussing everything about Luo Dan. What they didn't know was that Luo Dan was already familiar with their conversation and was silently accumulating strength to prepare for future challenges.
Luo Dan sat in the secret room, surrounded by faint spiritual energy fluctuations. His eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about some important issue. Finally, he couldn't help but speak out and expressed his suspicion: "I am always worried about sword energy. I can convert the devil energy into my own spiritual energy, which is naturally a good thing for me. But these demons' People, if they absorb my converted aura, nothing will happen, right? After all, it was originally the demonic energy that they regarded as a treasure."
After hearing the words, the sword energy trembled slightly and emitted a crisp sword cry, as if to comfort Luo Dan: "Don't worry, master. Your worries are unnecessary. These demons are not pure demons themselves. clan blood, so the reliance on demonic energy is not that strong (End of Chapter)
