Luo Chen understood that this was further testing from the Faceless Elder. He took a deep breath and firmly replied, "I know, defeating Lei Sangou is just the beginning. The second round will surely be more difficult, but I'm willing to accept the challenge and prove myself with my strength."

With this thought, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a hint of disdain toward Elder Cyan Dragon. He looked up and glanced at the Faceless Elder, speaking in a muted tone, "I didn't think that way, but if you insist on believing so, there's nothing I can do about it."

As soon as he spoke, Thunderstorm coldly reprimanded, "How dare you speak to the Faceless Elder like that!" However, Luo Chen remained indifferent, snorting as he responded, "I'm just speaking the truth."

Thunderstorm wanted to rebuke him again, but Elder Cyan Dragon stopped him with a wave of his hand. The Faceless Elder looked deeply at Luo Chen once more, then slowly turned around, showing his back to them as he said, "Thunderstorm, take him away from here tomorrow, ensure his safety."

Thunderstorm promptly replied respectfully, "Understood, Elder. You can rest assured." Elder Cyan Dragon nodded lightly, and then, under Luo Chen's astonished gaze, his body gradually transformed into a cloud of pale red dust, dispersing before them in an instant.

After Elder Cyan Dragon's form completely vanished, Thunderstorm turned to Luo Chen with a stern expression, "You were too impudent. The Faceless Elder is a revered presence in our Demon Race, you must show him enough respect."

Listening to Thunderstorm, Luo Chen felt somewhat discontented, but he also knew his attitude had indeed been too blunt earlier. He took a deep breath, calming himself, and then nodded toward Thunderstorm to indicate he would watch his words and actions.

After a long silence, Thunderstorm broke it, "We'll leave here early tomorrow. Rest well tonight and prepare for the challenges ahead." Having said this, he turned and left the room.

Watching Thunderstorm's departing figure, Luo Chen felt a wave of emotion. He knew his journey was far from over, with more challenges waiting for him. But he also believed he had the ability to overcome any obstacles and achieve his goals. So he stood, stretched his muscles, and then lay down on the bed to rest, fully preparing for tomorrow's journey. In this unfamiliar world, he must stay vigilant and calm to face the unknown challenges. Simultaneously, he looked forward to meeting the Faceless Elder again, hoping by then he could truly understand the intentions and expectations of this mysterious elder.

Gradually recovering from his state of shock, Luo Chen's heart continued to ripple with emotions. He glanced at Thunderstorm from the corner of his eye, noting that the man's expression seemed more gloomy than usual. Luo Chen felt stirred and decided to avoid the topic of the Faceless Elder for now, softly asking, "Where are we going tomorrow? Why haven't you informed me of the specific plans?"

Thunderstorm snorted coldly, not answering directly. He strode to Luo Chen's side, gripping his shoulder heavily. Luo Chen felt a powerful force transmitted through Thunderstorm's hand, and suddenly everything went black before his eyes as both of them transformed into a flash of blood-red light, disappearing before the tower.

The two guards in front of the tower stared dumbfounded at this scene until the blood-red light vanished completely. They exchanged glances, each showing deep shock and admiration. One of them sighed, "Incredible, even the Faceless Elder came personally to see him. This young man's future is surely limitless..."

A flash of blood-red light, Luo Chen and Thunderstorm had flown back to the Purple Bamboo Cottage. Throughout the process, Thunderstorm did not say a word to Luo Chen, but he didn't mind. He quietly followed behind Thunderstorm, constantly reflecting on what Elder Cyan Dragon had said earlier. Those words were deeply engraved in his heart, prompting more thoughts about his future path.

Back at the Purple Bamboo Cottage, Luo Chen briefly tidied up before lying down to rest. Outside, the sky gradually darkened, night descended, and a bright moon quietly rose. Just as Luo Chen was about to get up, the door was gently pushed open.

An elegant figure walked in, it was Riven. She wore a new long dress today, looking even more enchanting and beautiful. Luo Chen noticed she seemed attentive to her attire, changing into a new outfit every day. Yet, in Luo Chen's eyes, regardless of what she wore, she was always beautiful and captivating, even if it was just plain clothes.

"You're awake." Riven said softly with a tender smile. She carried a plate of fragrant dinner, slowly walked to the table, and placed it down.

Smelling the enticing aroma, Luo Chen felt his stomach rumble. He looked at Riven in surprise, "You made this?"

Riven chuckled lightly, nodding, "Yes, I made it especially for you. Come eat; starting tomorrow, you might not get the chance to taste my homemade dinner."
