Chapter 1305: Chapter 1302: The True Form of Purple Bamboo Chapter 1305: Chapter 1302: The True Form of Purple Bamboo “Elder Brother Fu, the trouble here is not yet over, and it's not a place to stay for long. We should hurry and leave,” Shen Luo said.

“Alright.”

As they were speaking, Fu Donglai stood up, intending to leave with Shen Luo.

“You've suffered quite a bit of depletion before. It won't be so easy to just rush out now. Let me take you out instead,” Shen Luo stopped Fu Donglai, chuckling.

“You're taking me out?” Fu Donglai asked in surprise.

Shen Luo smiled, waved his hand, and the Free and Easy Mirror appeared in his grasp.

“This treasure is called the Free and Easy Mirror, capable of containing living beings. You can rest assured and recuperate inside, while I will take you out of here,” Shen Luo explained as he shook the Treasure Mirror in his hand.

“Alright.” Fu Donglai, hearing this, didn't say much and simply nodded.

Immediately, Shen Luo activated the Treasure Mirror, and a beam of red light sprayed out from the mirror, enveloping Fu Donglai and pulling him inside.

Afterward, Shen Luo's Divine Sense swept into the mirror and saw that Fu Donglai was in the bamboo forest. Only then did he set his mind at ease. After securing the Free and Easy Mirror, he soared straight into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, he was atop the city walls, and looking up, he could see the barrier-like stone wall above, emanating a dark golden sheen.

With determination in his thoughts, Shen Luo reached into the void with his hand, the Profound Yellow Staff appearing in his palm once again.

Pushing off with both feet from the ground of the City Walls, he lunged toward the obscuring stone wall above.

Shen Luo's figure shifted in the void, his arms spinning rapidly, golden light radiating from his body like a proud sun, as countless golden rod shadows danced out, hammering towards the stone wall.

“Boom, boom, boom”

Successive booming sounds echoed through the heavens; the skydome's stone wall trembled incessantly as it endured a barrage of staff strikes, kicking up a great cloud of dust, obscuring the sunlight.

However, as the dust gradually dispersed, it revealed not the void but still the dark golden wall.

The Puppet City had completed its evolution, and its defensive strength had become formidable, no longer comparable to what it once was.

Seeing this, Shen Luo was not yet ready to give up.

His arms spun again, with the Huangting Divine Power coursing wildly through him, nearly pushed to the limit. Mana surged from within, following the gyrations of the Profound Yellow Staff, converging into a series of sky-splattering rod shadows.

With a thundering shout from Shen Luo, the swarming rod shadows finally surged upward, splashing against the stone wall.

“Boom, boom, boom”

The roar of each burst was like thunder from the Nine Heavens exploding within Puppet City, causing the entire city to tremble violently.

An even greater billowing of dust spread, obscuring vast areas.

Elsewhere.

In another open area within Puppet City, noises as loud as the ones here were heard, where the Little Master, radiating a completely unrestrained aura, was engaged in an intense battle with Ghost Yan.

The eight Earth-Shattering Female Corpse Kings were not involved in the center of the fight. Instead, they encircled the battlefield, each wielding a demon soldier, their garments flowing as they soared up and down, performing the dance of the heavenly demons and playing the enchanting music to assist Ghost Yan in confronting the Little Master.

After repelling Ghost Yan with a strike, the Little Master listened attentively to the enchanting demon music and spoke with a smile, “Do you hear that thunderous sound? Someone is trying to break through Puppet City. Aren't you worried?”

“Right now, in this Puppet City, you are the only one who truly has a chance to break through the City Walls' defenses. Since you are in front of me, there is nothing to worry about,” Ghost Yan said, with no trace of worry in his eyes, smiling.

“Heh, you sure are confident,” Little Master scoffed coldly, taking the initiative to move towards Ghost Yan.

When the dust above the skydome cleared, Shen Luo looked at the Stone Wall that was still undamaged, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

Even though the Profound Yellow Staff's power had significantly increased, it still seemed somewhat insufficient against the fully evolved Puppet City.

Shen Luo knew that lingering here wasn't the solution, and he also heard the sounds of combat coming from another area.

“Enough,” he murmured with a light sigh, vaulting into the air and speeding toward the battle zone.

As he was halfway there, a sudden urgent cry for help came from within his Sea of Knowledge: “Friend Shen, Friend Shen, don't keep going, stop for a moment, stop for a moment…”

Shen Luo, thinking there was some danger ahead, immediately halted, looking around with guarded eyes.

“Daoist Purple Bamboo, what's the matter?” he asked.

“Friend Shen, I have sensed that my physical body is nearby,” Purple Bamboo hastily said.

“Really?” Shen Luo bent over to look below but did not notice anything unusual.

“It can't be wrong. The connection between my divine soul and physical body has never been completely severed. Now that I'm closer, it's becoming clearer and clearer. There's no mistake. My body is definitely not more than a hundred feet from here,” Purple Bamboo hurriedly stated.

“Alright, I will go down and search,” Shen Luo replied.

After speaking, he swooped down, flying low over a group of buildings.

“It's up ahead, just up ahead…” The closer Purple Bamboo got to her physical body, the more anxious she became.

Hearing this, Shen Luo simply raised his hand and slapped his Qiankun Bag at his waist, taking out the walking staff transformed from the Dark Spring Purple Jade Spirit Bamboo. Purple Bamboo's thread of divine soul also emerged from the top of the walking staff.

“Over there!”

She peered out into the void, darting around anxiously, her eyes lighting up as she pointed excitedly at a great hall in front of them.

Shen Luo followed her gaze and saw a modest green brick palace standing there. After a moment's hesitation, he brought Purple Bamboo to the palace door.

“Interesting. This type of prohibition is indeed indiscernible from a distance,” Shen Luo couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile upon seeing the Stealth Talisman affixed to the palace door.

It seemed that Ghost Yan feared the disturbances from a powerful prohibition would draw unwanted attention, so he didn't apply any Defensive Formations or the like to this great hall. Instead, he simply placed a high-grade Stealth Talisman.

Shen Luo could not discern the origins of this talisman, yet he could tell it was not a mundane item.

If not for the strong connection between Purple Bamboo and her physical body, even if he himself had passed this place from a slightly farther distance, he would have only considered it a regular dwelling and certainly wouldn't have given it a second glance.

Shen Luo easily removed the Talisman, and immediately felt waves of exceptionally rich spiritual energy fluctuations coming from inside.

He pushed the door open without delay and stepped inside.

Upon entering the room, Shen Luo was instantly taken aback. Right in front of him, a shelf was filled with various bottles, jars, and wooden boxes, each emanating different spiritual power fluctuations and exotic scents.

Upon closer inspection, Shen Luo realized these were all Heavenly Treasures that Ghost Yan had looted from the Spirit Cave, including two Immortal Crystals that he had previously searched for in the Spiritual Eye.

He hadn't had the chance to examine them closely when he saw Purple Bamboo on the walking staff, her excitement reaching a peak as she struggled to break free.
