Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Thirty Percent Truth, Seventy Percent Fiction!

"Is what you’re saying... true?"

Ever since Little Black had started speaking, Lu Chen could be said to have been very forthcoming; Little Black knew him very well.

Inadvertently, the conversation had touched upon the possibility that his parents were trapped within the Abyss!

Now that Little Black suddenly mentioned it, Lu Chen naturally thought Little Black had seen his parents!

"Truly," Little Black hastily replied, "they were travelling in pairs. I originally wanted to follow them and ask, but then they suddenly disappeared without a trace. Helpless, I had no choice but to come and give you the pearl first!"

Lu Chen urgently asked, "Why didn’t you speak up then?"

Little Black gave a wry smile and said, "Master, with the pearl in my mouth, how could I speak? If I had spat it out, the light would surely attract the attention of others, and we were still at the mouth of the One-Line Sky; I feared someone would discover the entrance!"

Lu Chen knew he had been too hasty and had wronged Little Black, but hearing that they were travelling in pairs, he was even more certain that it must be his parents, and his heart couldn’t help but become somewhat conflicted.

Should he continue to make his way into the forbidden land with the Night Spirit Pearl, or should he go back to look for his parents!

"Senior Lu, we’re... not far now!"

At this moment, Chen Tanzhi on the side reminded him in a low voice.

"Alright, let’s head to the forbidden land first. Since they suddenly disappeared, they must be very strong. They will certainly be safe within the Abyss!"

Lu Chen took precedence and felt confident about his parents’ safety.

In that case, he didn’t have to worry too much.

Even, after taking care of his affairs, he could go back first to find Qin Yaotiao and then enter the Abyss with her later; this wasn’t a bad idea either!

The restrictions of the Abyss weakened according to a certain pattern.

Sometimes it took three years, sometimes five.

By then, he believed he would be strong enough to impress his parents!

On the side, Chen Tanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but Little Black hesitated as if it wanted to say more.

It always felt something was off, yet couldn’t recall what it was.

"We’re close, aren’t we? Let’s go now!"

Lu Chen was becoming somewhat impatient, taking the news Little Black brought as good news.

Now, as long as there was something in the forbidden land that could enhance his cultivation, he had to seize it!

That the Martial Artists of the Qin nation coveted it was telling enough!

"Senior Lu, this Night Spirit Pearl..."

Chen Tanzhi licked his lips, his eyes flashing with greed briefly.

Lu Chen had in fact long noticed that Chen Tanzhi was still hiding something, and he had not let down his guard.

However, he was also very aware that Chen Tanzhi’s retaliation would surely come after reaching the forbidden land!

Perhaps, it might even happen as they entered the forbidden land!

All information regarding the forbidden land was solely from Chen Tanzhi’s words.

Lu Chen did not fully trust him.

Lies mixed with some truth, three parts real to seven parts false.

He had three parts of inconsequential truth that he thought would win Lu Chen’s trust.

Yet he didn’t know that Lu Chen, having grown up in the Lu Family, had long learned not to trust anyone!

Moreover, since Chen Tanzhi had harbored murderous intentions towards Lu Chen from the beginning and now knew the location of the valley, there was only one possible outcome for him: death!

However, before his death, Lu Chen intended to extract every ounce of usefulness from him!

Just as Chen Tanzhi attempted to gain Lu Chen’s trust with deceit, wasn’t Lu Chen also using the valley to secure Chen Tanzhi’s trust?

The location of the forbidden land, the function of the Night Spirit Pearl, and the Martial Artists of the Qin nation represented three parts of the truth.

As for the remaining seven parts of falsehood, Lu Chen had long decided to explore them on his own!

"Holding the Night Spirit Pearl is not only inconvenient for you, but it could also easily attract the attention of demon beasts! Let’s quicken our pace, who knows if there are other cultivators coming?"

Lu Chen chuckled lightly and put the Night Spirit Pearl back into his storage bag.

The surroundings instantly became dark, which made Chen Tanzhi feel uncomfortable again for a moment.

"Chen Tanzhi, sit on Little Black’s back. Little Black, let’s hurry, it’s not far straight ahead!"

"Yes, Master!"

Little Black complied obediently, slipping under Chen Tanzhi’s crotch before its body swiftly enlarged, carrying Chen Tanzhi closely behind Lu Chen.

Not long after they departed, a few charming figures suddenly appeared in the area!

"There’s Demon Qi, Spiritual Energy, and the aura of a Martial Artist!"

A woman whispered to another woman.

"They’re not taking the usual path, detouring to this place... It seems they’re very familiar with it. No hurry, let’s follow and see! There are still their tracks on the ground, aren’t there?"

At this utterance, it was indeed Liu Ruyan speaking!

Their pace was extremely quick, and they, too, had arrived at this location!
