Chapter 401: Dead, the boy and the woman are dead
Tianlong Inn.

Chen Lan sat cross-legged with a colorful ball of light floating on the palm of his right hand, emitting a terrifying aura. If he hadn't set up a magic array in advance to block out the aura, I'm afraid everyone in the Evil Kingdom would know about it.

The magic circle of this inn is not strong enough to block this aura.

"What on earth is this?" Chen Lan murmured to himself in confusion. He didn't know what the function of this colorful light was, but just feeling its aura made his body tremble with excitement, and he wanted to devour and refine it.

He didn't plan to swallow it before figuring out what kind of treasure it was. What if it had a better use?
He put away the colorful ball of light, then waved his hand, and countless natural treasures appeared around him, many of which were treasures containing the rhyme of Tao. These were obtained on the way here. If he could refine them all, his way of fire and way of earth would reach perfection, and his way of shadow would reach the state of great success.

Start refining!
……

"Mother, we can leave the city and find a new place to live a good life."

The boy smiled with his fantasy of a better future. The woman beside him nodded heavily. Although she had been crazy for decades, her memory still existed and her love for the boy was real.

The two of them came to the city gate hand in hand. As long as they walked out of this gate, a brand new future would greet them!
"Who healed your mother?" At this time, a cold voice sounded from behind the boy. The voice was very familiar. The boy was frightened and turned his head quickly, and saw the woman in gorgeous clothes!
Li Lihua looked at the boy and his mother with a cold face. The woman actually got better and became a normal person. There must be something strange about this!
The boy has no money and no skills, how can he be cured? Is there anyone in the country of evil who dares to cure him?

Seeing that the boy was silent, Li Lihua gave a look, and the sturdy man next to him walked up and grabbed the boy, shouting in a cold voice: "Speak!"

The boy was so frightened that his body trembled, but he remained silent. However, his mother was frightened by the scene and ran over to scratch the strong man frantically: "Let go of my son, it has nothing to do with him. It was the immortal who saved me."

"Mom, stop talking!" The boy was shocked when he heard this and quickly asked his mother to stop talking.

Bang!
The sturdy man kicked the woman away, and she died instantly.

Seeing his mother dying in front of him, the boy completely collapsed. He used all his strength to break free and shouted frantically: "Mother! Mother!!!"

But how can a mere mortal escape from the immortal?

"Tell me, which immortal saved your mother? Did he use any treasure?" Li Lihua asked excitedly. She suspected that the immortal was related to today's mysterious treasure and must be related to these two people.

Hahahaha, hard work really pays off, it was no wonder that she had been guarding the city gate the entire time, and she actually managed to find a clue.

"I won't tell you!" the boy said coldly, his eyes full of bloodshot. He wished he could eat Li Lihua on the spot.

"Haha, do you think it will work if you don't tell me?" The woman sneered, grabbed the boy and began to search his soul.

In less than a moment, the boy's soul disappeared, his useless body fell down, and he died completely.

"So it was him. It seems that he took away the extraordinary treasure. This matter is not something I can enjoy alone. I have to find the king and the crazy old man."

Li Lihua knew that it was Chen Lan who absorbed the boy's memory. She couldn't see through the other party's strength, and he should be a Taoist saint. She couldn't keep this treasure alone, so she had to find someone to cooperate with her.

"Hang these two bodies in front of the door of my Tianlong Inn." Li Lihua ordered in a cold voice and left immediately.

……

The next day.

Chen Lan woke up from his training and his strength improved by leaps and bounds again.

After practicing for a day and a night, it was time to set off to the underworld. As soon as he walked out of the Tianlong Inn, Chen Lan was stunned by the scene in front of him.

He saw that the inn was crowded with people and there was no way to go. This made him curious. What happened?
But soon he knew what was going on. He just looked up inadvertently and saw two bodies hanging not far away. Only their backs could be seen, not their faces. One was big, one was small, and they looked like a mother and son.

Ever since coming to the Land of Evil and seeing those things, Chen Lan felt that the hanging corpse was not something surprising anymore. Compared to those things, it was much more normal.

This country is truly beyond salvation.

After taking a quick look, Chen Lan prepared to leave.

"I didn't expect this boy would die. He used to work every day to treat his demented mother. How pitiful."

"Hey, what's there to be pitied about? There's basically no pity for anyone who dies here. Just look at it. You've been watching it for so many years, aren't you used to it?"

"I found out. You should have noticed the colorful beam of light yesterday. It was related to this boy. I heard that his mother had been cured by an immortal. It seems that the evil woman Li Lihua found him and asked him to tell her about the treasure, but he refused. The mother and son died just like that."

"You haven't heard enough. Actually, someone heard a conversation in the alley yesterday. Someone gave the little beggar 500,000 spirit stones. It happened to be the evil woman's subordinate, so she reported it. The evil woman originally wanted to take the 500,000 spirit stones, but she didn't expect that it involved the treasure."

"Why are there so many rumors? Which one is true? But I feel that both are true."

"Anyway, this little beggar is so damn stupid. He could have survived if he just told about the immortal, but he refused to tell anyone. What a fool."

"It doesn't matter. They are just two mortals. If they die, they die. What's so good about them? They are not as good-looking as women."

Chen Lan suddenly stopped, turned his head stiffly, and scanned the two bodies with his spiritual sense. After seeing the two faces clearly, his body shook violently and his pupils shrank slightly.

It really was the boy and woman from yesterday.

Yesterday, when he brought the boy and the woman to the alley, he did not use his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings beforehand because he felt it was unnecessary, so he left after dropping 500,000 spirit stones.

I thought the boy and the woman would live a good life with these 500,000 spirit stones, but I didn't expect that these 500,000 spirit stones would become the boy and the woman's life-threatening money!
But in fact, what killed the boy and the woman was the colorful beam of light yesterday. If he had blocked it in advance, would these things have not happened?

In order not to betray him, the boy never told anyone about him until his death.

Chen Lan clenched his fists and emanated a powerful aura, which scared the people around him so much that they stepped back and looked at him in horror.

He walked step by step to the boy and the woman, used his hands as blades, cut the ropes around the necks of the two bodies, and slowly placed them on the ground.

"Haha, you're finally here. How do you feel after seeing these two masterpieces?"

At this time, Li Lihua walked out of the crowd with many big men and looked at Chen Lan with a sneer.

"If you want to use this to make me angry and lure me out, then congratulations, you succeeded."

Chen Lan slowly raised his eyes, and his cold gaze made Li Lihua tremble violently both physically and mentally.
