The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1334

Chapter 1334: Chapter 1330: Paying a Visit Chapter 1334: Chapter 1330: Paying a Visit Time swiftly passed, months gone by.

On the edge of a seaport bordering the Eastern Sea of the Eastern Victorious Divine Continent, a man in a green robe from the Human Race stood shoulder to shoulder with a splendid tiger-headed creature. Before them knelt a group of both men and women.

All of them wore coarse hemp clothing, and their skin on the faces and hands was sunburnt red, covered with fissures blown by the sea wind over the years. One could tell they were fishermen who made their living by going out to sea.

Just now, Shen Luo had taken down a demon that had emerged from the sea to attack the harbor, and it was only at this moment that the fishermen crowded around them incessantly, kneeling down in worship as if they were their saviors.

Among them, the one in the lead was a middle-aged man with bloodstains on his face. When the demon come ashore to attack, he was the first to fight against it with an oar, fortunately for him, Shen Luo and his companion had just arrived, or he would have already been devoured by the demon.

“The two Immortal Masters, please show us mercy. Can you do us a good deed and find us a way to survive?” the middle-aged man said with reddened eye sockets, almost pleading.

“First tell us, what's going on?” Fu Donglai asked.

The middle-aged man glanced at Fu Donglai, a trace of fear in his eyes, but still mustered his courage to speak:

“Immortal Master, our Eastern Sea fishing port has always been peaceful, until last month when suddenly, demons frequently emerged from the seabed to attack the harbor and fishing villages. Not to mention livestock, many people have already lost their lives.”

“If there are demons, why not report to the authorities?” Fu Donglai asked with a frown.

“The Aolai Kingdom is weak and small, and the local government station is even more… sigh, they are fine dealing with ordinary thieves, but once there are demons, they're useless, they don't dare to come at all,” the middle-aged man sighed.

“How do you want us to help you?” Shen Luo asked.

“These water demons from the Eastern Sea have always been governed by the East Sea Dragon Palace. Although occasionally there are demons causing trouble, the Dragon Palace has always been able to handle it promptly. But this time, so much time has passed without any word from the Dragon Palace. We fear that they have not yet received the news. We were thinking, since the Immortal Masters surely possess the ability to ascend to heaven and dive into the sea, could you possibly help us speak to the East Sea Dragon Palace?” The middle-aged man's eyes were full of hope, looking towards Shen Luo.

“I can, but it will have to wait until after I finish my urgent business. Before then, I'll set up an array to protect you all, and you should also stay away from the water's edge,” Shen Luo pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

“Thank you, Immortal Master…” the fishermen bowed and worshiped one after another.

Shen Luo didn't say much. After setting up an array around the seafront area of the harbor using talismans, he left with Fu Donglai.

Knowing the location of Flower Fruit Mountain, Shen Luo didn't need to ask for directions and led Fu Donglai straight there.

Unlike the devastated Flower Fruit Mountain he had seen in Dreamland, this place was not rich, but it was still peaceful, without any ruined walls or scars of destruction.

The two soon arrived at the foot of Flower Fruit Mountain and saw a camp pitched at the entrance to the mountain.

In front of the camp stood several demon monkeys clad in armor, each holding weapons like swords and clubs, looking quite impressive.

Noticing the approach of the two men, the largest white-haired monkey, wielding a saber, stepped forward to meet them and shouted, “Who goes there? And where do you wish to go?”

“I am Shen Luo from Mount Fangcun, coming to pay a visit to the Great King, Sun Wukong of Flower Fruit Mountain,” Shen Luo called out loudly.

“You're from Mount Fangcun? Is that the same Mount Fangcun where our Great King learned his skills?” Hearing this, the white-haired monkey paused, frowning it asked.

“Indeed.”

“Do you have proof?” the white-haired monkey asked.

“I only have a letter of introduction, which must be personally delivered to your Great King,” Shen Luo replied.

“The Great King is in meditation retreat; should you lack a token, you must wait until the Great King has emerged before reporting.” The white-furred ape said.

“When can your Great King come out of retreat?” Shen Luo asked.

“That is uncertain; maybe ten days, half a month, or perhaps a year and a half, or even eight to ten years… There have been precedents in the past.” The white-furred ape said.

“Although I am not sure of the content within this token, I can guess it concerns an urgent matter. May I trouble you to make an exception and pass on the message?” Shen Luo's brows knitted tightly as he spoke.

“If the Great King is in retreat and I recklessly pass on the message without a token, I cannot guarantee I won't be punished. Please don't make things difficult for me,” the white-furred ape pleaded with clasped hands then turned and walked away directly.

“Brother Shen, this…” Fu Donglai hesitated.

“Then I apologise for the offense.” Shen Luo sighed inwardly, as the Huangting Technique skills inside him suddenly sprang into action.

The next instant, golden light erupted around him, and a powerful surge of mana spread from his body, causing even Fu Donglai, caught off guard, to be pushed back half a step.

The demon monkeys guarding the mountain gate were greatly alarmed upon seeing this and quickly gathered around him, weapons in hand.

Seeing this, Shen Luo did not engage in conversation; instead, he stomped his foot, assuming a stance, and shouted toward Flower Fruit Mountain, “I dare summon the Victorious Fighting Buddha to meet me!”

With his bellowing shout, amplified by the Huangting Technique, he infused his voice with mana, turning the sound waves into visible golden ripples that compressed against Flower Fruit Mountain in successive waves.

The demon monkeys that had just arrived felt an overwhelming force strike them, sending them tumbling to the ground, unable to maintain their stance.

As the golden sound waves had just passed the camp and approached the body of Flower Fruit Mountain, a series of Buddha's chants sounded, followed by a surge of rich golden light from the earth, which instantly transformed into a giant golden bell covering the entire mountain.

“Dong”

Accompanied by a thunderous bell sound that shook the heavens and earth, all the golden ripples disappeared at once.

“What kind of monster dares to intrude upon Flower Fruit Mountain?” A thunderous voice erupted.

In the sky above the mountain peak, silhouettes leaped into the air one after another, descending toward the mountain gate.

Shen Luo glanced up and noticed that they were four robust demon monkeys clad in gold and silver armor, two of which had long and powerful arms, the Tongbi Monkeys, while the other two were Red-arsed Horse Monkeys.

All four demon monkeys radiated a powerful aura, each having reached the level of an early True Immortal.

“Two Marshals, two Generals, this man is exceedingly rude. I told him the Great King was in retreat, and without a token, he couldn't be granted an audience. Then he suddenly used his skills, disturbing the mountain gate formation,” the white-furred ape immediately reported.

One of the Tongbi Monkeys, with fiery-red fur and a scar near his eye, immediately shouted, reaching out into the void and grasping, summoning a Hunyuan Golden Hammer that shone brightly in his hand.

He stepped forward and advanced to Shen Luo's front in a single stride, swinging the Hunyuan Golden Hammer which instantly glowed with a circle of golden light, and on its surface, a string of Sanskrit sutras appeared.

As the golden sutras lit up, they emitted buzzing sounds, and waves of potent force dispersed from them.

With the heavy crash of the Tongbi Monkey's hammer, the gold light scattered, sending out visible golden ripples that oppressed the entire mountain forest into trembling.
