The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1209

Chapter 1209: Chapter 1206 Defection Chapter 1209: Chapter 1206 Defection “I found not a man, but a tiger-headed monster named Fu Donglai,” Shen Luo said, not bothering to waste words with him and stated directly.

Upon hearing the three words “Fu Donglai,” the expressions of several demons changed immediately.

“Hehe, you should have said so earlier. Since it's Fu Donglai you're looking for, that's easy to handle. We'll take you to him,” the black-nosed demon quickly put on a smiling face.

Seeing this, Shen Luo kept his expression unchanged, but a tinge of suspicion flashed through his heart.

The reactions of these demons were not right, and his intuition told him that something had probably happened to Fu Donglai.

“Then I'll trouble you fellows to lead the way,” Shen Luo thanked them with a cupped fist as thoughts whirled in his head.

The black-nosed demon's eyes flickered a few times, and the rest of the demons immediately understood, stepping aside to open a path.

He then quickly turned around with a beaming smile, leading the way for Shen Luo.

Shen Luo's lips twitched into a smile, pretending to be unaware as he followed.

The rest of the little demons naturally followed behind, and quietly, they blocked his way out.

“May I ask how to address you, my Daoist friend, and what is your relationship with Fu Donglai?” the black-nosed demon probed.

Shen Luo smiled and answered, “We are colleagues working for the Great Tang Dynasty Government. We just happened to be passing by Lion Camel Ridge and came to catch up with Brother Fu.”

“I see, that's great, that's great,” the black-nosed demon laughed.

“I wonder how Brother Fu has been lately. Ever since he returned to Lion Camel Ridge, we've long lost contact with him,” Shen Luo inquired.

“Daoist brother Fu is a beloved disciple of the Three Kings; of course, he's been well,” the black-nosed demon's eye twitched as he spoke.

“Is that so? Why do I feel like he might not be doing so well?” Shen Luo noticed some little movements from the demons behind him, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he asked sharply.

“Attack,” the black-nosed demon shouted explosively.

The little demons behind him immediately spread out a dark green net, enveloping Shen Luo in the middle.

Shen Luo was trapped by the net, and a strong stench of corpse air emanated from within the net, starting to corrode his body.

“What are you doing?” Shen Luo asked without panicking.

“Coming here to find Fu Donglai, that traitor, surely makes you his accomplice. Handing you over to the Great King and the Second King, we brothers are about to strike it rich, haha…” The black-nosed demon did not answer but continued with excitement.

Traitor? How had Fu Donglai become a traitor?

Doubts rose in Shen Luo's mind.

“You say that Brother Fu and I are accomplices. What have we done to become accomplices? You better not falsely accuse us. The Great Tang Dynasty Government is not to be trifled with,” Shen Luo deliberately invoked the authority of the Great Tang Dynasty Government as he spoke.

“Great Tang Dynasty Government? What a joke. Once you enter our eight hundred li of Lion Camel Ridge, even the Jade Emperor can't reach us. If you dared to collude with Fu Donglai to steal the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle, don't think about leaving alive,” the black-nosed demon scoffed.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo became even more puzzled.

When Fu Donglai returned to Lion Camel Ridge, it was to investigate the Demon Void Earth Dragon matter. How did it suddenly relate to the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle?

“You say the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle was stolen. Do you know how it was stolen?” Shen Luo continued to inquire.

“How would I know… Enough talk, once you see the Two Kings, let's see if you can still speak,” the black-nosed demon said angrily.

Shen Luo saw that he couldn't get any other information from them, so he naturally didn't plan on really letting them help him meet the so-called Great King.

He straightened his body, and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire emerged on the surface of his body, instantly dissolving the Corpse Qi attached to the green net.

Shen Luo shook his shoulders, and the dark green net turned to ashes, falling off his body.

Several demons saw this and immediately shouted angrily, swinging their weapons to kill him.

These little demons were not of high realms, with the leader, the black-nosed demon, being only at the Early Stage of Soul Condensation. Shen Luo could easily exterminate them with a wave of his hand.

Just at that moment, a sudden gust of wind flashed by, instantly sweeping all the little demons away.

Before they could react, Shen Luo's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

The little demons panicked for a while before promptly fleeing towards the Lion King Cave to report the incident back.

Elsewhere, some ten li away in a hidden mountain pit, a whirlwind swept through, revealing the figures of Shen Luo and Fu Donglai within it.

“What's happened to you?” Shen Luo immediately frowned upon seeing Fu Donglai.

His eyes were bloodshot, his aura extremely chaotic, and more than a dozen wounds of varying depths could be seen on his body, making him appear extremely ragged.

“Brother Shen, how did you come to Lion Camel Ridge?” Fu Donglai didn't rush to answer but asked with a surprised face instead.

“I was on my way to Tianji City and happened to pass by this area, so I thought to meet with you. But I didn't expect to find you being labeled a traitor of Shituocheng. What exactly is going on?” Shen Luo asked, puzzled.

“This matter… it's a long story. This isn't the place to talk, I'll take you somewhere safe,” Fu Donglai said.

“Good,” Shen Luo nodded.

The two of them immediately flashed out of the mountain pit, and, after a short while, arrived at a hidden Underground Cave.

The Cave interior had a Stone Table and Stone Chairs, with some signs of life.

“This is where I used to cultivate; not many people know about it,” Fu Donglai said with a smile after inviting Shen Luo to sit down.

In such a time, seeing Shen Luo was a happy event for him.

“What exactly happened that you ended up in such a state?” Shen Luo asked with a frown.

“The situation is a bit complicated…” Fu Donglai showed a contemplative look, seemingly unsure of where to start.

“Then take your time and start from when you left Chang'an and went back to Lion Camel Ridge,” Shen Luo suggested.

“Alright. After the event of the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference in Chang'an, I wanted to go back and investigate the Demon Void Earth Dragon, but just after I returned to the Sect, I found out that a major event had occurred within it…” Fu Donglai nodded and slowly began to recount.

It turned out that after the sealing of Chiyou, and the alliance and truce between the three clans, Lion Camel Ridge changed from its originally closed stance and started to widely recruit demons from all directions. The human and immortal clans did not obstruct its expansion anymore.

As such, the development of Lion Camel Ridge was very rapid. Nowadays, it had more than a hundred thousand demons of varying sizes under its control, with the entire Sect becoming bloated and chaotic in the operation of its affairs.

Fu Donglai's Master, one of the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge, the Golden Wings Large Peng, decided to move out of Lion Camel Ridge and establish his own faction in Shituocheng, forming a separate lineage from the Six-tusked White Elephant and the Blue-haired Lion King.

“The Blue-haired Lion King, as the Big Brother of my Master and the founder of Lion Camel Ridge, naturally didn't want to see the brothers split up. However, my Master had made up his mind. Despite the unpleasantness, the Blue-haired Lion King ultimately agreed. The Second King, the Six-tusked Elephant King, was quite dissatisfied with this, expressing clear opposition and even wanting to break with my Master,” Fu Donglai slowly said.

“Is this related to your escape?” Shen Luo asked with confusion.

“The timing of my return was too coincidental, just as Lion Camel Ridge was undergoing its separation. But right at this juncture, a treasured item of the Sect disappeared without a trace,” Fu Donglai sighed, saying so.
