Chapter 1371: Chapter 1367: Revisiting the Dragon Palace Chapter 1371: Chapter 1367: Revisiting the Dragon Palace Night.

At the Cliffside of Mount Fangcun, Shen Luo stood beside Nie Caizhu.

Shen Luo naturally took her hand, Nie Caizhu's shoulder tensed slightly, then relaxed, and she leaned her head gently against Shen Luo's shoulder.

The two had not seen each other for too long, and now they found themselves at a loss for words.

Behind them, on an old tree some distance away, a branch stretched out where several people were sitting side by side.

“I mean, it's true what they say, 'Comparisons are odious'. Big Brother, look at Big Brother Shen, then look at yourself, sigh…” Bai Xiaoyun said, looking at Shen Luo and Nie Caizhu's silhouettes, heaving a long sigh.

“Stop spouting nonsense. A true man born into this world should diligently cultivate, with the thought of benefiting the world. How could one always dwell on love and affection? Isn't that right?” Bai Xiaotian said, giving Lu Huaming, who was beside him, a bump.

He waited for quite a while but received no reply. When he turned his head, he saw Lu Huaming leaning against the trunk of the tree, holding a Wine Pot in his hand, silently taking a sip, his gaze drifting into the distance.

“Ah, which young man doesn't harbor thoughts of spring…” Bai Xiaotian sighed deeply.

Fu Donglai was sitting on the other side, smiling but saying nothing.

At the base of the tree, Wu Man'er was standing next to it, tiptoeing to glimpse at the silhouettes of Shen Luo and Nie Caizhu, thinking to herself: “They do make a great match…”

Several days later.

Lu Huaming and the others were recalled by their respective Sects, while Fu Donglai stayed at Mount Fangcun, officially becoming a disciple of the Bodhi Ancestor.

Shen Luo, however, stayed for more than half a month until his injuries were healed, and his Pure Yang Qi and Demonic Qi were balanced. Then, after bidding farewell to the Bodhi Ancestor and others, he left Mount Fangcun.

Half a month later, Shen Luo arrived at the Eastern Sea.

He had visited the Eastern Sea with Bai Xiaotian once before, and had been to the Dragon Palace in Dreamland, so this time he found his way easily and quickly located the East Sea Dragon Palace.

A Blue Light pierced through the sea water and landed outside the East Sea Dragon Palace, revealing Shen Luo's figure.

The East Sea Dragon Palace appeared even more resplendent and majestic than the one in Dreamland, projecting an air of grandeur. However, it was surrounded by numerous teams of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, endlessly patrolling around.

“Which Daoist friend graces the Crystal Palace with their presence?” Just as Shen Luo had landed, a group of Shrimp Soldiers clad in bright Silver Armor immediately approached, and their leader asked in a deep voice.

“I am Shen Luo. Prince Ao Hong and I are good friends. I am here today to pay a visit, and I would like to ask Your Excellency to pass on the message,” Shen Luo said, standing with hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering slightly as he released a trace of True Immortal Qi.

“So it's a True Immortal Elder. My apologies for the oversight. Please wait a moment, Elder; I will immediately go to pass on the message,” the Shrimp Soldier leader said, a trace of panic on his face, as he bowed deeply and then transformed into a Silver Light, shooting towards the interior of the Dragon Palace.

Shen Luo quietly stood there, and the remaining Shrimp Soldiers also stayed nearby, not moving, as if they were keeping a watch over Shen Luo.

He was somewhat surprised – why was the Dragon Palace on such high alert? Had something happened?

Indeed, as he had guessed, the Shrimp Soldier leader took quite a while, nearly half an hour, and still had not returned.

Shen Luo patiently waited for a quarter of an hour more, and finally, the Shrimp Soldier leader came back leisurely.

“Elder, please forgive us. The Dragon Palace has been very busy with various matters lately. It took me a long time to see Prince Ao Hong. His Excellency is currently preoccupied with an important matter and is unable to clone himself to greet you. He has sent me to invite the Elder to the guest hall inside the palace to rest,” the Shrimp Soldier leader apologized profusely.

“`

“No problem, lead the way,” Shen Luo said without making things difficult for the little shrimp soldier, his chin lifted slightly.

The shrimp soldier leader apologized repeatedly and then led Shen Luo into the Crystal Palace.

The palace was also filled with armored guards, and security was extremely tight. Every passage required verification of tokens and waist badges, and it took quite a while to arrive at a lavish palace decorated sumptuously, where several maids who had transformed from corals were in attendance.

Seeing Shen Luo arriving, the maids immediately offered him spiritual tea and spirit fruit special to the Eastern Sea.

And the shrimp soldier leader did not leave either, standing by on the side.

“Has something happened inside the East Sea Dragon Palace?” Shen Luo's suspicions grew, but he did not show it, he picked up a cup of spiritual tea and took a sip, seemingly asking casually.

“The palace has been under martial law recently, as for what exactly happened, this small soldier does not know,” the shrimp soldier leader said softly, it was unclear whether he really didn't know or was simply evading the question.

Seeing this, Shen Luo did not ask further and quietly waited.

After waiting for half a day, Ao Hong finally appeared.

“Brother Shen, there have been many affairs in the palace recently, and I have been so busy until now that I had time to come out, I hope you don't take offense,” Ao Hong said as he flew in from outside, his face showing a hint of fatigue and his clothes somewhat disheveled, indicating he had come over without having the chance to tidy up after finishing his tasks.

“No problem. It seems Brother Ao has something to do. It is Shen who has come at an inconvenient time, and I apologize for the disturbance,” Shen Luo said with a smile.

“Where is Brother Shen saying such words? I have yet to repay the great kindness of Wuzhuang View. By saying this, you truly make me feel ashamed. Ah! Brother Shen's cultivation level has already broken through to the True Immortal Stage, congratulations!” Ao Hong laughed, then noticed the change in Shen Luo's cultivation level and showed a look of surprise.

“A few days ago, I luckily made a breakthrough. Brother Ao's cultivation level has also greatly advanced, you're about to break through to the True Immortal Middle Stage,” Shen Luo, with his strong Divine Sense, had already noticed the change in Ao Hong's cultivation level.

“Brother Shen has a keen eye,” Ao Hong laughed heartily.

“When we parted last time at Wuzhuang View, Brother Ao said you were going to bring precious fruits to treat the East Sea Dragon King's injury. May I ask how that went?” Shen Luo asked.

“It was barely satisfactory,” Ao Hong sighed upon hearing this, clearly, the result was not ideal.

Shen Luo, seeing this, couldn't help but be curious about what ailment the East Sea Dragon King had that ginseng fruit couldn't cure, but he knew better than to ask about it inappropriately.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the two exchanged some idle chatter before getting to the main subject.

“Brother Ao, to be honest, my visit today is because there is a favor I must ask of you,” Shen Luo said with a bow.

“Brother Shen has done me a great service. You may speak freely if you have any requests,” Ao Hong said, noticing Shen Luo's serious expression and waving his hand.

The maids and the shrimp soldier leader in the palace saw this, gave a bow, and retreated.

“I have an important magical treasure that is damaged. I have been looking for someone to repair it for some time. My visit to Wuzhuang View was also for this reason…” Shen Luo briefly narrated his experiences over the past days, naturally omitting some details that were not suitable to disclose.

Ao Hong, for the first time aware of the real purpose of Shen Luo's visit to Wuzhuang View, showed a look of surprise, but did not interrupt him.

“…Although the Young Master City Lord can repair that magical treasure, it requires the assistance of a treasure from the East Sea Dragon Palace,” Shen Luo finally said.

“What is the treasure?” Ao Hong asked, intrigued and taken aback as the prince of the Eastern Sea who seldom had the chance to travel outside.

“Sink Blood Nine Chi Pearl,” Shen Luo said.

Ao Hong's brows furrowed, his gaze locked onto Shen Luo, and his expression gradually turned solemn.
