Chapter 1398: Chapter 1394 Another Plot Chapter 1398: Chapter 1394 Another Plot Within the Six-in-One Heavenly Gate Array, Fu Gong saw Shen Luo had also gained control over the Super Red Flame Beast, a flash of surprise flickered in his eyes.

However, he quickly withdrew his gaze and, after exchanging a knowing look with Hua Shao, his figure flew out from the illusion of the Stone Door without a sound, landing next to a golden pillar nearby and merged with it completely.

Hua Shao waved his sleeve again and another green puppet shot out, landing where Fu Gong was standing earlier, taking over the operation of the Great Formation.

The Six-in-One Heavenly Gate Array was filled with dazzling white light, and Divine Sense could not spread, so those outside could not see what was happening inside at all.

The Super Red Flame Beast, caged by the Map of Mountains and Rivers, seemed to sense something, its expression changed drastically, and it spat out a fist-sized, fiery red pearl that appeared to be something like its Inner Dan. In a flash, it merged into the dark red giant seal.

The spiritual light on the dark red giant seal surged, increasing its size by a third, striving to break free from the prohibition of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

But what kind of treasure was the Map of Mountains and Rivers? Even though it was shaken by the giant seal, the white giant ring showed no signs of collapsing.

“Kid! What exactly is this treasure of yours?” The Super Red Flame Beast, growing agitated, asked Shen Luo once more.

Shen Luo still ignored the beast, raising his hand and gesturing towards the great hall; three rays of light shot out from within, namely, the Pure Yang Sword, the Slayer's Broken Sword, and the Nine Nether Three Treasures.

The Profound Yellow Staff also shot out from the wall, landing in front of him.

His mana was currently all devoted to controlling the Map of Mountains and Rivers, leaving him no strength to use the four treasures to attack the Super Red Flame Beast, so he simply collected them with a wave of his sleeve.

“Kid, I don't know what your connection is with that Fu Gong, but aren't you afraid that once he has control over the prohibitions of this Guangcheng Immortal Mansion, your life and death will also be in his hands?” The Super Red Flame Beast shouted desperately.

“What did you say? Control over the Immortal Residence?” Upon hearing this, Shen Luo was startled and blurted out.

“Your Excellency knows nothing?” Seeing Shen Luo's reaction, the eyes of the Super Red Flame Beast brightened, and it quickly pressed on with the question.

“I came here with Fu Gong to gather the Earth Core Fire Lotus; he did not mention this Immortal Mansion.” Shen Luo pondered for a moment before replying.

“Hehe, just as I thought. That Fu Gong harbors ill intentions, and he has not told Daoist friend the truth. To tell you the truth, this Guangcheng Immortal Mansion was refined by the great Daoist Guang Chengzi of the Teachings. It fell here during the disaster of demons many years ago. That Fu Gong was originally this mansion's guardian spirit beast. Over these years, he has entered here many times with the intent to refine away the mansion's prohibitions. If he gains control, by using the Heaven Profound Fire Array within, he can easily kill even a Taiyi Existence. Neither you nor I would escape his poisonous hand. Since that Fu Gong has not shared this with Daoist friend, he surely intends to silence you once his plan succeeds,” the Super Red Flame Beast said, trying to persuade with earnest worry.

“If Fu Gong is the guardian spirit beast of this Immortal Mansion, why is it that you now have control over it?” After hearing all this, Shen Luo's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he followed up with the question.

“This area within the Ring Mountain Range is my territory. Naturally, the opportunity of the Guangcheng Immortal Mansion falling here belongs to me. How could I allow Fu Gong to stay inside it?” The Super Red Flame Beast said through clenched teeth.

Shen Luo had been quietly using the Ghost Eye of the Netherworld to observe the Super Red Flame Beast and could tell that while some of the beast's words were untruthful in subtleties, most were indeed true, and his heart sank.

The Super Red Flame Beast's words clearly had an element of instigation, but that was not without reason. Fu Gong, being the guardian spirit beast of this Guangcheng Immortal Mansion, was undoubtedly extremely familiar with it; the Sun True Fire Prohibition that burned Turtle Thousand Years to death, Fu Gong could not possibly have been unaware of it, yet he did nothing to prevent Turtle Thousand Years' demise. This revealed his character.

Moreover, Fu Gong was currently hiding the most important motive from him and having him entangle the Super Red Flame Beast. He was likely using him as a pawn in his game.

“Daoist friend, there's no animosity between us, and I assume Your Excellency has no designs on this Immortal Residence. How about we both take a step back, hm? I have nearly a thousand Earth Core Fire Lotuses here, and more than ten Nine-Petal Fire Lotuses, all of which I am willing to give to you. Moreover, I shall aid your departure from this place. If you withdraw this magical treasure and release me, how does that sound?” The Super Red Flame Beast saw a shift in Shen Luo's expression and felt a surge of secret joy, promptly speaking again.

“You can send me out?” Shen Luo suddenly looked up.

“This sovereign has been trying to refine the prohibitions of the Immortal Residence over the years. Although I have not been entirely successful, I have mastered a part of it. There's definitely no problem sending Daoist friend away,” the Super Red Flame Beast guaranteed, patting its chest.

Shen Luo's gaze flickered, and just as he was about to say something, the Six-in-One Heavenly Gate Array in the distance suddenly erupted with a burst of white light that spread rapidly, subsuming the entire great hall in the blink of an eye.

Shen Luo and the Super Red Flame Beast were both enveloped in a vast expanse of white light, perceiving their surroundings transforming into bizarre and bewildering changes.

Shen Luo's vision swiftly became hazy, and he was about to sink into an endless domain of illusion.

On the contrary, the Super Red Flame Beast was encircled by the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and the power of the Six-in-One Heavenly Gate Array somehow failed to penetrate it.

Shen Luo bit down hard and quickly circulated the Suppressing God Technique within him, clarifying his mind in an instant.

“Even I am to be trapped, it seems that Fu Gong really harbors ill intentions!” A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and his figure flickered as he entered the interior of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, appearing beside the Super Red Flame Beast, where the force of the Six-in-One Heavenly Gate Array could no longer affect him.

“What's going on? I suddenly can't detect that Shen Luo anymore. What treasure is that scroll that can isolate the illusion power of the Six-in-One Heavenly Gate Array?” In the depths of the Six-in-One Heavenly Gate Array, Hua Shao murmured in a subtly changed expression.

Around him, in the five Array Eyes, besides that Xiao San, the other four Array Eyes contained soulless puppets.

In fact, Shen Luo's guess was not wrong at all–Fu Gong and Hua Shao indeed had been using Shen Luo and others to seize the Guangcheng Immortal Mansion.

Now that everything was going smoothly, with the Super Red Flame Beast confined by the Six-in-One Heavenly Gate Array, Shen Luo and the others were no longer of use. Qing Qing had already been restrained by his God's Power, and now it was naturally Shen Luo's turn.

However, contrary to Hua Shao's expectations, Shen Luo was unexpectedly difficult to deal with and possessed a magical treasure capable of countering the Six-in-One Heavenly Gate Array.

“Didn't this sovereign speak the truth? Fu Gong has begun to make his move on you. Do you still intend to continue like this, Daoist friend?” the Super Red Flame Beast said.

“Alright, I can release you, but first, give me the Earth Core Fire Lotuses,” Shen Luo said in a deep voice, his eyes flickering slightly.

“Certainly, Daoist friend, catch.” Without any hesitation, the Super Red Flame Beast spat out a red jade ring, which landed in Shen Luo's hands.

Shen Luo's Divine Sense entered the ring, and inside was a rather large storage space, densely packed with stalks of Earth Core Fire Lotus. Among them, more than a dozen lotuses emitted dazzling red light, indeed the Nine-Petal Fire Lotuses.

Since the Super Red Flame Beast was forthright, he did not delay either. He immediately formed a hand seal to lift the Seal of the Map of Mountains and Rivers. The map shrank by dozens of times, turning into a scroll several meters in size, revolving and dancing around his body.

“Haha, Daoist friend is indeed decisive. I shall now send you out!” The Super Red Flame Beast broke free and the dark red seal above its head rippled, pushing away the white light of the surrounding Six-in-One Heavenly Gate Array.

With a loud “bang,” the Super Red Flame Beast's front paw stepped on a nearby golden pillar. Immediately, dazzling red light emerged on the pillar, enveloping Shen Luo's body.
