The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1308

Chapter 1308: Chapter 1305: Do It on the Way Chapter 1308: Chapter 1305: Do It on the Way “These souls belong to ordinary people and are not powerful, but there are a lot of them, collected from annihilating cities and nations, right? It was you who caused the downfall of the Langxia Kingdom that year!” Shen Luo, upon seeing this, suddenly recalled the diary of the disciple of Tianji City and cried out in realization.

“The matter of Langxia Kingdom? Ghost Yan, you actually annihilated a nation's people just to advance the Puppet City!” With Shen Luo's reminder, the Little Master also reacted and exclaimed.

“Heh heh, Heaven and Earth are heartless, they treat all beings as mere straw dogs! We Yan masters who pursue power, collecting a large number of divine souls is an inevitable move. Tianji City is bound by a false reputation, decreeing that one can only kill Yin Beasts and must not harm ordinary life. With such restrictions, how can one achieve great success!” Ghost Yan sneered, admitting that the annihilation of Langxia Kingdom was indeed his doing.

“Killing for souls is an act against the Heavenly Dao, there is a cycle of cause and effect, aren't you afraid of divine retribution!” the Little Master said sternly.

“Divine retribution? I have already transcended the True Immortal Thunder Tribulation and attained an immortal body. My future holds nothing but a smooth and broad path; where is there any divine retribution to speak of! On the contrary, you two have thwarted my plans time and again. Today, I will act as heaven's agent and refine your divine souls into this Puppet City as well!” Laughing wildly, Ghost Yan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of essence blood, injecting it into the Gathering God Pearl.

The gray-white light on the Gathering God Pearl suddenly brightened several times. The whole pearl flashed and merged into the Doll Stele.

The black light on the Stele shone even brighter, its intensity rising sharply, quickly pushing back the Little Master's white light and looking to be on the verge of completely driving it out.

Shen Luo's heart sank, knowing he couldn't hold back any longer. He put all his effort into summoning Thunder and Lightning with his left hand, and a flash of yellow light passed over his right hand, revealing the Profound Yellow Staff. He was about to unleash the Splashy Chaotic Stick to forcefully break through the protective cover surrounding Ghost Yan.

At that moment, the Little Master suddenly bit his tongue tip and spewed a mouthful of essence blood, which blended into the refining white light.

The refining white light suddenly became much brighter, firmly gripping the Doll Stele and preventing it from being completely expelled by the black light.

“Ghost Yan has almost complete control over the prohibitions of the Puppet City. If we continue to stay here, we have no chance of survival, let's quickly leave this place!” The Little Master pulled Shen Luo's body with one hand while the other hand moved like a spinning wheel, manipulating the remaining Yan Pattern within the white light.

A grand white light shot out from within the Doll Stele, enveloping the bodies of the Little Master and Shen Luo. The void around them violently stirred as a Teleportation Array swiftly formed.

“Thinking of escaping? No chance!” Ghost Yan's eyes flashed with a fierce light as the Yin-Yang Umbrella above his head spun rapidly. Black Yin Thunders shot out, fiercely striking the Teleportation Array around Shen Luo and the Little Master.

But at that moment, a silver Talisman suddenly shot out from within the Teleportation white light, which was in fact an Earth-Attracting Thunder Talisman. The silver light on the Talisman intensified, shattered, and disappeared, replaced by a vast silver Thunder and Lightning forest reaching up to the Skydome and down to the Ground, striking fiercely.

The black Yin Thunder emitted from the Yin-Yang Umbrella met the silver Thunder and Lightning forest and was instantly devoured and completely extinguished. The Thunder and Lightning forest then struck Ghost Yan's protective cover with an earth-shattering loud noise.

The protective cover formed by the Yin-Yang Umbrella shattered upon contact, and numerous silver Thunders and Lightnings immediately engulfed Ghost Yan's body.

At that moment, the Teleportation Array surrounding Shen Luo and the Little Master was finally formed, the white light inside intensified, and the two figures disappeared from within the Puppet City.

Shen Luo only felt a blur before his eyes, and when his vision cleared, he found that he and the Little Master had returned to the Spirit Cave space.

The remaining disciples of Tianji City, who had been collecting various Heavenly Treasures within the Spirit Cave just now, all rushed over when they saw the Little Master reappear.

“City Lord, how is the situation inside the Puppet City?” Elder Mo Wang asked anxiously.

The Little Master swept his gaze over everyone, his eyebrows furrowing tightly as he said:

“The Puppet City has devoured enough Copper of Lingxiao and has advanced to the level of Creation. Ghost Yan has now fully taken control of the Puppet City, and even if we join forces, we are no match for him. I have already ordered Man Bo to bring the Returning Origin Sacred Seal here, and now we can only rely on the power of the Sacred Seal to contend with the Puppet City. Everyone, listen to my command. Immediately exit the Spirit Cave and retreat outside the Black Abyss Mystical Cave.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned and did not react for a moment.

“`

The one who finally called out was Elder Mo Wang, shouting, “Why aren't you obeying the order? Retreat immediately!” Only then did everyone snap out of it, fleeing from the Spirit Cave one after another.

As they fled, many couldn't help but look back longingly at the heavenly treasures within the Spirit Cave, treasures they might not find even after decades of searching in the outside world.

However, when compared, the City Lord's command and their own lives were naturally more important.

Seeing that everyone was making a hasty retreat, Shen Luo naturally had no intention of lingering. He had accomplished his mission of rescuing Fu Donglai, and his gains were substantial. Now, he did not want to continue muddling in this chaotic situation. All he wanted was to leave safely.

But just as he was about to leave, a telepathic message from Purple Bamboo suddenly entered his mind: “Friend Shen, I know of a place that harbors a treasured item, which you can easily retrieve before leaving.”

“Where is it?” asked Shen Luo, puzzled.

“At the southeast corner of the Spirit Cave. Have you seen a black rock there? It's ten zhang deep beneath that black rock, wrapped by a clump of bamboo roots,” Purple Bamboo explained.

Shen Luo flew down to the southeast corner as instructed and saw an unremarkable black rock at the base of a rock wall, snugly fitting with the wall behind it as if they were of one piece.

With a palm strike, he dislodged the rock overhead. His hand glowed with golden light, and he thrust sword-like energy into the ground below, penetrating ten zhang deep in an instant, the area covered by a thick layer of white rock.

With a crisp “crack!” sound.

The golden light ruptured the white rock, revealing a mass of white bamboo roots filled with crisscrossed rootlets. Through the interstices of the roots, a glint of crystal blue light could be seen.

The moment Shen Luo's golden light reached out, the white bamboo roots moved aside on their own, unveiling a massive blue crystal jade.

“Is this… Attached Spirit Jade?” Shen Luo's eyes lit up instantly.

“Friend Shen truly is knowledgeable. This piece of Attached Spirit Jade has been my secret treasure for many years. Today, consider it a token of gratitude for helping me find my true form,” Purple Bamboo said immediately.

Shen Luo was overjoyed to hear this.

This Attached Spirit Jade was no ordinary object; its properties were exceptional, able to store vast amounts of mana.

Now that Shen Luo had obtained such a large piece, it was perfect for storing powerful mana, which would surely be a great help when he next sought to break through in his cultivation.

Given the urgency of the situation, he had no time to inspect it closely. He immediately waved the Free and Easy Mirror, and a beam of red light surged from the mirror's surface, sweeping up the blue gemstone and storing it inside.

Afterward, Shen Luo swiftly caught up with the fleeing Tianji City disciples and entered the passageway at the front section of the Spirit Cave, quickly escaping towards the outside.

After just a few breaths, everyone arrived at the intersection between the Yin Cave and the Spirit Cave.

It was Shen Luo's first time here, but even he could tell that the passageway on the right led to the outside as the spirit energy from the Spirit Cave was rushing towards it. On the left, the passageway was surging with Yin Qi, thicker than any Yin Sha place Shen Luo had ever visited. From deep within the passageway, the sounds of thunderous explosions and countless muffled thunders could be heard.

Little Master stopped, looking towards the Yin Cave.

“That's the Yin Cave…” Shen Luo furrowed his brows, unable to restrain his inquiry.
