The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1438

Chapter 1438: Chapter 1434 Selling Wine Young Girl Chapter 1438: Chapter 1434 Selling Wine Young Girl Cheng Yaojin hesitated briefly before turning to Li Jing and saying, “The object suppressed beneath the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is of great importance; we cannot afford any mistakes. I must rush over there immediately; could you please take custody of the Golden Wings Large Peng and Flower Ten Women first?”

Upon hearing this, Li Jing hesitated slightly but eventually nodded.

A hint of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the Blue-haired Lion King. It was already a great humiliation for Lion Camel Ridge to have their Third Brother suppressed beneath the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, but now to be detained by Li Jing using the Exquisite Pagoda felt like a second insult.

His fists unwittingly clenched a bit tighter, but ultimately, he relaxed them without saying a word.

However, at this moment, Cheng Yaojin could not afford to consider his feelings. He silently communicated with the familiar Kongdu Zen Master and Fairy Qinglian, requesting them to keep an eye on this place. He did not trust these members of the Demon Clan and demon cultivators.

If the situation at the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda were not urgent, he would not wish to leave.

Li Jing waved his hand and the Exquisite Pagoda in his grasp suddenly emanated a grand golden light, expanding hundreds of times to transform into a towering transparent pagoda.

“Please,” he said, glancing at the Golden Wings Large Peng and Flower Ten Women.

The Golden Wings Large Peng and Flower Ten Women expressed nothing, silently walking into the Golden Tower.

Following that, Li Jing waved his hand again, and the Exquisite Pagoda returned to its original size, flying back into his grip.

“Friend Cheng, are you sure you don't need our help?” Li Jing furrowed his brows, unable to help but ask.

“Thanks, but not for now; we still have it under control,” Cheng Yaojin replied with a shake of his head.

If they couldn't suppress them here in Chang'an City and needed outside help, where would the face of the Great Tang Dynasty Government be?

Then, a beam of golden light shot up from the ground, and Cheng Yaojin transformed into a rainbow and departed, leaving everyone at the square looking at each other, somewhat bewildered.

Shen Luo had been listening intently to the noises outside, noting the continual booms and evil demon roars that seemed to be growing louder, although the initial cries and wails of the people had lessened somewhat.

In their place were occasional command shouts and sounds of fierce combat.

Hearing this, his heart eased a bit; the control of Great Tang Dynasty Government over Chang'an City was still quite effective.

However, Shen Luo was also very puzzled as to why these evil demons appeared in Chang'an City, and specifically on the day the conference was convened.

Could it be to intensify conflicts, to cause the conference to fail, and thereby tear apart this facade of peace?

That would align with his own objectives, wouldn't it?

Pondering this, Shen Luo found himself increasingly perplexed.

Just then, he saw Li Jing striding towards him with a formidable aura that was somewhat intimidating.

However, Shen Luo was not intimidated, appearing not to notice, as he stood with his arms folded, mulling over his doubts.

“Daoist friend Shen,” Li Jing initiated upon reaching him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo looked at him, unconsciously furrowing his brows.

Initially, Shen Luo had held a good deal of fondness and respect for this powerful figure who, in future dreams, had entrusted him with the Exquisite Pagoda and the Heavenly Scroll Fragment. However, his views had changed quite a bit after the recent incident on Mount Fangcun.

“May I know what Heavenly King Li advises?” Shen Luo asked.

Li Jing, hearing the discontent in his tone, raised his eyebrows slightly.

“It seems you harbor quite some resentment towards me,” Li Jing observed.

Shen Luo remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.

“I don't mind if you hold grudges, and I don't care about your thoughts. As long as it benefits the stability of the Three Realms, I will do it, regardless of how others see me,” Li Jing spoke for himself.

“Using the Demon to suppress Mount Fangcun, almost causing them to reopen the Divine Demon Well, is this also for the sake of the stability of the Three Realms?” Shen Luo couldn't hold back and retorted.

“What do you think the stability of the Three Realms relies on? Balance? No, it depends on checks and balances. A situation where one faction becomes too powerful is not a good thing. Moreover, do you think that letting the Demon oppress Mount Fangcun is solely the will of my Heavenly Palace?” Li Jing countered.

“Elder, there is no need to use a last resort to explain to me, a junior. It makes no sense, nor is it necessary,” Shen Luo said with a cold sneer, shaking his head.

Li Jing was about to say something when he suddenly stiffened, lifting his hand and striking with a palm towards the deep pit that had appeared in the center of the Training Ground.

A Golden Light burst forth from his palm, forming a giant golden vertical palm as sharp as a blade, cleaving downward directly towards the deep pit.

Shen Luo also sensed something was off and hurriedly looked in that direction.

A layer of pink light swelled from where the golden palm print fell and exploded with a bang.

The Golden Palm Seal was instantly shattered by this light, disappearing into the Void.

Then, thick green-black vines continuously emerged from the Underworld, squirming towards the Ground in all directions like living creatures. Numerous roots sprouted rapidly, completely ignoring the hard stone slabs of the ground, piercing through them and reaching inside.

Shen Luo and the others instantly felt intense vibrations from beneath the ground, and the ground began to undulate like water waves once again.

However, this shaking did not last long. The entire Square soon cracked open into eye-catching fissures and almost the entire Square collapsed with a series of roaring sounds.

The various Elders of the gates rose to their feet and hovered in Mid Air.

The ground collapsed into a huge deep pit, a vast abyss, and from within, numerous roots surged up along with a layer of pink mist, slowly bringing up a massive shadow from below.

Shen Luo's eyes flickered with golden light, and through the pink mist, he immediately saw the object rising from the shadow. It was a huge pink peach tree in full bloom.

With a loud “boom.”

The pink peach tree that had risen from the Underworld finally fully appeared on the Ground. Its interconnected roots had already covered the entire Square, blocking all the ground with their presence, leaving Everyone unsure and afraid to set foot on it.

The tree trunk was dozens of feet thick, towering over a hundred feet high. Its massive crown spread out, overshadowing the entire Great Tang Dynasty Government, with lively peach blossoms flourishing overhead. Petals fluttered in the wind, drifting towards every corner of Chang'an City.

“Peach Blossom…” Li Jing furrowed his brows and whispered softly.

Shen Luo found this name somewhat familiar but couldn't remember what it was at the moment.

“Peach Blossom, weren't you not involved in the conflicts of the Three Realms? What are you doing now?” Another shout came at this time.

Shen Luo followed the voice and saw that the speaker was Fairy Qinglian.

Her face was filled with a puzzled expression.

“Hehe, Sister Qinglian, I'm truly sorry this time. It's only because I owe someone a huge favor that I had to help out this time,” a string of silver bell-like laughter came from beneath the pink peach tree.

Then, a young girl dressed in a pink jacket and skirt emerged from under the tree.

Her cheeks were rather round, still bearing the innocence of youth, but her eyes were as deep as wells. With a sweet smile on her face and two twisted braids on either side, she looked innocently at Fairy Qinglian.

Shen Luo's eyes instantly widened, and subconsciously, he turned to look at Hu Bugui nearby. He found that the latter also seemed startled, hastily untying the Wine Pot from his waist, intending to take a drink to calm his nerves.

The reason was clear. The young girl in front of them, with just a change of clothes and an apron, was the spitting image of a wine-selling girl.
