He was surprised to hear Mrs. Lu's words and finally understood what he meant.
"Yes, that's right. I don't know whether he was possessed or not, but one thing is certain, my husband had disappeared before the so-called possession. The one who always appeared beside me was a fake."
"Don't worry. Now that I know about this, I will definitely not ignore it. Don't be anxious or panic. Tell me all the details you know, and then we can work together to figure out his approximate location. Let's go find him, now."
“No need to go…”
Mrs. Lu had tears in her eyes and shook her head slightly.
This person is prone to crying at the slightest provocation, even worse than his Ling'er.
"Why don't you go?"
Long Aotian was surprised. Is there anyone in this world who would watch his partner in trouble but not be prepared to help?
Of course, a very bold and ominous idea suddenly appeared in my mind.
Is it because the person is dead that the other person cries and says there is no need to look for him/her?
The small lamp should have emitted bright light, but at this moment, the small green flame made the dim room look extremely cold and gloomy.
Although the conditions were difficult, Mrs. Lu was still attentive and protected the small soul lamp intact.
"He's still alive!"
How could Long Aotian not recognize the aura of an old friend?
However, the state of this soul lamp at this moment is simply too strange.
"How could this be?"
Something strange seemed to have happened at the place where the soul fire was originally placed. The orange-yellow flame turned into a dark green, and the key point was that it flickered, as if it would go out at any time.
"I have been forcing it to continue, but I don't know why it has become like this... It has been like this for a while. Fellow Daoist Long, to be honest, although I have tried my best to keep it from being destroyed, based on the current situation, it may..."
She hadn't finished her words yet, but Long Aotian already understood what she meant.
Why else?
No matter how one keeps the soul fire from being extinguished, the fact is that the soul fire ignited by the soul lamp no longer belongs to a living person.
Maybe it's true. The old friend he wanted to save so much has actually passed away?
Mrs. Lu also shed two lines of tears at this time, but suddenly smiled and shook her head.
"Although his soul fire is like this, I still decided to go find him with Fellow Daoist Long."
No matter whether the other person is dead or alive, she has to see him to fulfill her wish.
"Okay, I promise you, if I find any clues, I will call you as soon as possible."
Long Aotian will never give up the pursuit.
If a person is alive, we need to see him/her; if a person is dead, we need to see his/her corpse. The soul fire is different. Although it is possible that the person has really passed away, if we cannot see the corpse, there is always a glimmer of hope.
"it is good."
"If the demons appear here, the things that can attract them must be extraordinary. What kind of ruins and treasures are you talking about? Is there a possibility that if it can attract the demons, it will also attract your husband?"
Everything was normal until Mrs. Lu discovered that her husband seemed to be fake.
There are two possibilities at present. First, the old friend was captured and his life or death is unknown. Second, the old friend left on his own, but now he may have encountered something. The soul fire has become so abnormal, which means that his own condition must be very wrong.
No matter what the reason is, Long Aotian always feels that the ruins that can attract the demons are not too simple. If he goes to look for them, he might find a clue.
After all, even the Demon Lord can be attracted here, which shows that the treasures hidden inside have not been fully mined yet.
"Should we go now, or..."
Looking up at Long Aotian's current slightly embarrassed state, he thought it would be better for him not to go out now, at least he should have a good rest. "If we don't go now, this battle is too conspicuous. If we want to take action, of course we still have to conceal it. Wait until tomorrow, tomorrow morning, I will find a time to look for you."
Although the fight was taking place under the sea, there were already several members of the Phantom Demon Clan hiding in the dark surrounding them.
Long Aotian was still very cautious, fearing that the phantom monsters had also seen the fact that a trace of the Demon Lord's soul had escaped and was not completely killed.
After all, if this kind of thing happened to him, it would damage his reputation.
He never cared much about what people said about him secretly or openly, as these were actually insignificant words.
What he cares about is that his current status and position does not belong to him alone, but involves the status of the sect.
For now, although he is old, the overall strength of the sect is still mostly supported by him.
There is no way. The other younger generations have not grown up yet, and the older generation are almost dead. Now they are in a state of being neither up nor down, and are in a very stuck state.
He has to watch over the younger generations and help them grow up. Before that, he must also maintain a good personal image and not let the Wandao Sect be bullied.
It's not about maintaining a perfect image, but about maintaining an image to the point where your strength only increases and never decreases. You have a bad temper and can draw your sword if you disagree with something.
Mrs. Lu is older than Long Aotian, so how could she not see through his tricks?
However, she did not expose him. Instead, she tried her best to put on a smile and nodded in agreement.
She could fully understand Long Aotian's approach.
Although she is more anxious than anyone else to find someone now, it is useless to be anxious.
She had been trapped before and wanted to come out to look for it, but she never found a chance.
Now that she has finally regained her freedom and has someone to help her, she naturally wants to act together with capable people.
There are still many things she hasn't said, and these are all she can reveal now.
She has not yet told Long Aotian that the so-called ruins are actually not simple.
But now is not the right time to speak out.
At least before exploring the ruins in depth, the first thing Long Aotian did was to find the trace of her husband through various clues.
Whether dead or alive, she wants to see him.
These are the only things that Mrs. Lu revealed. Long Aotian certainly did not hide them from anyone and shared the news with everyone.
Zhou Ling knew her master's plan. This time they might be going to a dangerous place again, and he would definitely not want to take her with him.
But she has her role, and Senior Sheng also told her that the Demon Lord's soul was not completely killed. Who knows if he has any other tricks up his sleeve?
This possibility is very high, and she is a person who can be absolutely restrained.
Although her strength is sluggish, as long as she is protected well, she is also the biggest trump card.
So she hoped very much that her master would take her with him, even if it was a risk, at least if they worked together, there wouldn't be any big problems.
"No."
Unlike before, this time Long Aotian’s refusal attitude was very firm.
And this time, it wasn't just her master who stopped her, it was everyone.
"Yes, listen to your master."
It was the first time that Zhou Ling heard her mother agree with her master. (End of this chapter)
