The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1206

Chapter 1206: Chapter 1203: Lost Chapter 1206: Chapter 1203: Lost “These demons and ghosts have been rampaging through Yunmeng Marsh, bullying the good and oppressing the kind; they should all be slain. Against such demon filth, there is no need to talk of kindness and morality.” Faced with Little White Dragon's words, Shen Luo remained unconcerned.

“While slaying demons and eradicating evil is crucial, one must always harbor a compassionate heart. With a single thought, one can become a Buddha; and with one thought, one can become a demon. Please, Daoist friend, restrain yourself.” Little White Dragon spoke slowly.

“How I act requires no interjection from Your Excellency, just mind your own business.” Shen Luo spoke with great impatience.

From a distance, Wu Man'er and Ghost General were taken aback by Shen Luo's behavior.

Shen Luo was always courteous in his interactions, and he showed considerable respect towards Little White Dragon. Why had he suddenly spoken such harsh words?

“So it is, Daoist friend, even you have been tainted with Demonic Qi, and the invasion runs deep, already influencing your mind unknowingly–awaken!” Little White Dragon revealed a look of astonishment, examining Shen Luo before suddenly exclaiming in a voice resembling the Buddhist demon-subduing roar.

Shen Luo's body jolted with shock, his ears ringing with a sound as loud as the Evening Drum and Morning Bell, and he felt as if he had just woken from a dream.

“What did I just do?” Thinking back on his previous actions, he broke out in a cold sweat.

“Master, are you alright?” asked Ghost General as he flew over.

Wu Man'er also flew over, her face full of concern.

Shen Luo shook his head and then respectfully bowed towards Little White Dragon: “Thank you, Senior Ao Lie!”

“I do not know why you are tainted with Demonic Qi, and the extent of its invasion is so profound that I cannot purge it for you. Fortunately, the several Chun Yang treasures on you can temporarily suppress it. The Demonic Qi is insidious; not only must you beware of its infiltration into your body, but more so its influence on your mind,” Little White Dragon said.

“Yes, I will certainly be cautious in the future,” replied Shen Luo with a solemn promise.

Little White Dragon nodded slightly and turned to look at the rolling dust, sweeping it aside with a flick of his sleeve.

A gust of wind swept by, scattering all the dust nearby, revealing the figures of Wansheng Princess and Nine-Headed Insect. At this moment, Nine-Headed Insect had resumed his human form, disheveled and pallid. However, the blood light in his eyes had also subsided, and his consciousness was restored.

Wansheng Princess propped up Nine-Headed Insect's body and poured various spiritual medicines into his mouth.

“Fine, I didn't expect your powers to have advanced to this level after converting to Buddhism. This battle is my loss. You can kill or mutilate me at will…” Nine-Headed Insect pushed Wansheng Princess away and, facing Little White Dragon's gaze, snorted coldly.

However, Wansheng Princess waved her sleeve, and a burst of pink mist hit Nine-Headed Insect's face, making his eyes roll back as he lost consciousness.

“Crown Prince, I beg you to spare my husband's life! He has been severely injured and his cultivation is nearly destroyed. He can no longer act recklessly. If you're not satisfied, I am willing to exchange my life for his!” Wansheng Princess opened her arms, blocking in front of Nine-Headed Insect, and pleaded.

“Wansheng Princess, this Nine-Headed Insect is cold-hearted and ruthless. He even attacked Senior Ao Lie before, regardless of your life or death. For such a fiend, why would you treat him like this?” Wu Man'er furrowed her brows and spoke.

“No matter what he has turned into now, he is still my husband. Which wife could stand by and watch her husband in distress? Being a woman, you must understand these feelings,” said Wansheng Princess in a mournful tone.

Wu Man'er fell silent upon hearing this.

Shen Luo's eyebrows furrowed, as he looked worriedly at Little White Dragon.

Nine-Headed Insect had committed countless atrocities and could not be spared. However, Little White Dragon seemed quite soft-hearted, and with Wansheng Princess pleading so bitterly, it was uncertain whether he would soften and agree.

“Crown Prince, Nine-Headed Insect has become like this largely due to the influence of Demonic Qi. Please have mercy for the sake of our past association, and spare his life!” Wansheng Princess looked towards Little White Dragon and knelt on the ground with a thud.

“Are you truly willing to protect him with your life?” Little White Dragon's gaze sharpened.

“Yes! I beg you, Crown Prince, take my life and spare my husband's!” said Wansheng Princess, lifting her head with a resolute expression.

Little White Dragon sighed, his expression softening as if he was about to relent.

“Senior Ao Lie, this Nine-Headed Insect has done countless evil deeds. He has slain numerous innocents in Yunmeng Marsh and even harmed others by stealing treasures from the West Sea Dragon Palace. We cannot let him go; otherwise, who knows how many creatures of the Three Realms will perish at the hands of this demon!” Seeing this situation, Shen Luo hurriedly reminded.

Little White Dragon's body shook, and he regained his composure.

“Brother Shen is right. Nine-Headed Insect has committed innumerable crimes, and even if I do not avenge the grievous injury he inflicted on my father, I cannot allow him to live in this world! I'm sorry,” Little White Dragon shook his head slightly, and the Dragon Spear in his hand blazed with golden light, ready to act.

Wansheng Princess's face showed despair, and suddenly, biting her silver teeth, she drew out a small white sword and stabbed it backward.

The small white sword punctured with a puff, entering the Dantian in Nine-Headed Insect's lower abdomen.

The Nine-Headed Insect seemed like a deflated balloon, completely limp on the ground, its Demon Qi rapidly leaking out of its body and dissipating into the air.

After a flash of black light, the body of the Nine-Headed Insect transformed into a nine-headed monster bird, eight of its heads severed, and blood slowly oozing out, its breath extremely faint.

Little White Dragon was startled, surprise also evident on the faces of Shen Luo and Wu Man'er.

“I have completely destroyed the Nine-Headed Insect's Dantian Qi Sea, he will no longer be able to cultivate, nor will he be able to harm others. Please spare his life. If you still want to completely exterminate him, kill me first!” Wansheng Princess took out a long knife magical treasure and placed it across her snow-white neck.

“Fellow Daoists, what do you think…” Little White Dragon frowned and looked towards Shen Luo and Wu Man'er.

Wu Man'er also glanced at Shen Luo with the corners of her eyes, clearly leaving the decision to him.

Shen Luo's Divine Sense swept back and forth over the Nine-Headed Insect, confirming that its Demon Power and Demonic Qi had indeed dissipated and its Dantian was irreparably damaged.

According to his own thoughts, no matter what, the Nine-Headed Insect should be completely exterminated, its soul scattered to the winds. However, since Little White Dragon was the one who defeated the Nine-Headed Insect, the decision to spare it or not rested with him.

“Everything is up to the elder.” Shen Luo said in a low voice.

Wu Man'er remained silent, clearly having no objections.

“Since that's the case, alright. In consideration of the relationship between Bibo Pond and my West Sea Dragon Palace, today I will spare his life. However, the treasures he robbed from the Dragon Palace must be returned in full,” Little White Dragon said indifferently.

“Everything is here, thank you, Third Prince!” Wansheng Princess's face lit up with great joy, and she threw over a Storage Bracelet.

Little White Dragon caught the Storage Magical Tool, his Divine Sense confirmed that it contained the lost treasures of the West Sea Dragon Palace.

He nodded, put away the Storage Bracelet, and then turned to walk towards Shen Luo.

Apparently afraid that Little White Dragon would change his mind, Wansheng Princess immediately picked up the Nine-Headed Insect and conjured a white light, escaping into the distance, while the other Demons hurriedly followed.

Shen Luo watched the group of monsters fleeing into the distance, a sense of unease unexpectedly rising in his heart, but the situation being as it was, he said nothing further.

“Fellow Daoists have helped me greatly, and my goal has been achieved. Surely you have your own purposes for coming to Yunmeng Marsh. If you need my help, Ao will certainly exert himself,” Little White Dragon said, having approached Shen Luo and Wu Man'er.

“I have no particular affairs, but Miss Man'er came here to obtain some Divine Tree Essence from the Ginkgo Divine Tree, which she has not yet managed to get,” Shen Luo said.

“Divine Tree Essence? That's easy, come with me,” Little White Dragon said, whisking his sleeve and sending forth a Golden Light that enveloped the three of them, shooting toward the Ginkgo Divine Tree like a meteor.

Little White Dragon was more than ten times faster than Shen Luo, taking only moments to reach the vicinity of the Ginkgo Divine Tree.

Perhaps because of the great battle, there were no guard Demon Soldiers around the Ginkgo Divine Tree.

Wu Man'er was overjoyed and landed next to the Ginkgo Divine Tree. A flash of Body's Green Light passed over her, and she slipped inside the tree.

“Brother Shen, how did you come by the Demonic Qi in your body?” While Shen Luo and Little White Dragon waited quietly outside, Little White Dragon asked.

Shen Luo hesitated for a moment but did not conceal the truth, recounting the incident of being invaded by Demonic Qi during the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference.

“The Three Realms Martial Arts Conference? It's unexpected that there would be Chiyou's Demonic Qi there…” Little White Dragon murmured, frowning.

“The Demonic Qi in my body often erupts, thankfully I've acquired several Demonic Suppressing treasures that can still suppress it. The Great Tang State Master Yuan Tiangang once told me that only by breaking through to the True Immortal Realm and using the power of Sky Thunder to refine my body can I completely purge this Demonic Qi,” Shen Luo said.

“I see, then that's manageable. I see your Cultivation level has reached the Late Mahayana Stage, not far from the peak; with that Ginkgo Spirit Fruit, breaking through to the True Immortal Realm is within reach,” Little White Dragon said with a relieved expression.

“I too thought that with several treasures protecting me, I would be safe, but today I almost got overwhelmed by the evil thoughts within the Demonic Qi. If it weren't for the Elder's timely discovery, I fear the consequences would have been unimaginable,” Shen Luo said with a wry smile, still feeling somewhat shaken.

“Indeed, there are concerns. Brother Shen, you have helped me a lot this time, and I have yet to repay you. Here is a Dingyuan Relic, a remnant left behind after the Ling Mountain Dingyuan Buddha passed away. If you wear this, it can help you resist the invasion of evil thoughts,” Little White Dragon said after some thought, taking out a sparkling Relic and passing it over.

Shen Luo did not stand on ceremony, receiving the Relic; a warm current flowed from it, spreading throughout his body in an instant, his mind felt much clearer, and the faint shadows lingering on his consciousness were completely dispelled.

“Thank you, Elder,” he said joyfully, thanking Little White Dragon again.

Little White Dragon waved his hand, unconcerned.
