The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1451

Chapter 1451: Chapter 1447: Blocking the Path Chapter 1451: Chapter 1447: Blocking the Path “Big Brother Shen, do you need the Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood?” asked Li Shu.

“Indeed, I intend to refine a magical treasure with this wood,” Shen Luo nodded.

“In that case, I'll have the royal family keep an eye out, and if they find any, they'll collect some Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood for Big Brother Shen,” Li Shu said.

“Thank you very much, Princess Shu. The more you collect the better. I need a large quantity of the Fire Qilin Wood. As for the price, don't worry too much, I still have some assets,” Shen Luo expressed his gratitude.

“Alright,” Li Shu nodded.

“Apart from the Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood, I'm also in urgent need of the Nine Heavens Gold Essence. Could I trouble Princess Shu to keep an eye out for that as well?” Shen Luo remembered another matter and spoke again.

“Nine Heavens Gold Essence! That's a spiritual material that's almost extinct in the Three Realms; it's going to be very difficult to find,” Li Shu's eyes widened slightly.

“I know. Just keep an eye out for it, Princess. If you happen to come across it one day, please send me a message immediately,” Shen Luo said.

“Alright, I've made a note of it,” sighed Li Shu in relief upon realizing she just had to inquire about the items.

After receiving the treasure, Shen Luo didn't linger and took his leave.

Moments later, he left the Imperial City through a side gate and was about to return to the Great Tang Dynasty Government when three figures appeared before him, blocking his way.

The one in the lead was Zhang Chuan, followed by two people, a tall elderly man in a golden robe looking cold and indifferent, and a short child about eight or nine years old dressed in fiery red, with a sinister smile on his face.

Both the tall and short individuals exuded powerful auras, indicating their status as Middle Stage True Immortals. Especially the child in red, who was just a step away from the Late True Immortal Stage.

“Daoist friend Zhang Chuan, is there something you need?” Shen Luo, seeing the three, knew trouble had arrived, but he still asked.

“Kid, I've heard that you were the victor at the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference, but to this young master, you're nothing. Listen well, stay away from Li Shu, or I'll make you regret it, got it?” Zhang Chuan marched up to Shen Luo, jabbing his finger into Shen Luo's chest as he spoke harshly.

“Daoist friend Zhang Chuan, rest assured, Princess Shu and I are just friends; we've only met a few times in the past and there is no romantic involvement whatsoever. I'm sure you and the two Daoist friends understand,” Shen Luo replied calmly, undisturbed.

“Hehe, I've long heard that the victor of this Martial Assembly, Shen Luo, was a tough character, someone who wouldn't even care for the Heavenly Palace. Now that I see you, you certainly live up to the reputation,” the child in red flicked his sleeve, emitting a red light, pulling Zhang Chuan back, and chuckled.

Zhang Chuan's face turned to anger, but seeing the Fire Child had intervened, he restrained himself.

“I'm flattered, and you are?” Shen Luo looked towards the newcomer.

“Elder of the Heavenly Palace, Fire Child,” the child in red declared proudly.

“Ah, so it's Daoist Fire Child. What matters do the three of you wish to discuss by stopping me?” Shen Luo inquired.

“We've heard a bit about Daoist Shen's affairs. Originally, we had no intention to cause you trouble, but because of the matter with Princess Shu, our young master is somewhat displeased. We as his guards cannot just pretend to have seen nothing. You understand, right?” Fire Child said with a chuckle.

“What would satisfy you? Feel free to speak your mind,” Shen Luo said, spreading his hands.

“This is the Tang Dynasty Capital, and we are both outsiders; it would be unwise to attract unwanted attention here. How about this: you and I will exchange three blows. If Daoist Shen can withstand my three strikes, we shall turn and leave immediately; if Daoist Shen cannot, I would kindly ask that you avoid meeting with Princess Shu in the future, how about it?” Fire Child proposed.

Although his words were somewhat courteous, the tone was still condescending and even more unbearable than Zhang Chuan's arrogance.

“`

“Heh, if I, Shen Luo, lose, naturally there is no need for further words. But if I win, do I only get a flippant remark from the three of you?” Shen Luo was also ignited with a spark of anger and let out a cold chuckle.

“You little brat, what did you say! Ungrateful wretch!” Zhang Chuan bellowed with rage.

Shen Luo paid no attention to Zhang Chuan but simply looked at the Fire Child.

Seeing Shen Luo's contempt for him, a malicious fire surged to Zhang Chuan's forehead. He, who held such high status in the Heavenly Palace, had never been treated like this before. He raised his hand, intending to unleash his magical treasures.

But as his arm moved, he was immediately grabbed by the elderly man in a golden robe, who had been silent until now.

“Young master, the Great Tang Dynasty Government and the Tang Royal Family boast profound strength, and our Heavenly Court has suffered major losses in this disaster of demons. Currently, many forces in the Three Realms are lying in wait, eyeing the Heavenly Court with covetous eyes. Now is not the time to offend the Tang Royal Family,” the elderly man in a golden robe communicated telepathically.

“So I should just let it go when this man has insulted me so?” Zhang Chuan angrily telepathically replied.

“Elder Fire's Sun Chasing Sword has successfully sealed a Golden Crow Essence within it, turning it into a Tool Spirit. You know the power of the Golden Crow True Fire; it'll be easy to handle this little guy. Let Elder Fire Child teach him a lesson,” suggested the elderly man in a golden robe, shooting a cold, sinister glance at Shen Luo.

“That makes sense,” Zhang Chuan replied, his anger turning to joy upon hearing these words.

“May I ask what Brother Shen wishes as compensation?” Fire Child frowned, growing impatient.

“There's no need for compensation. If I withstand Your Excellency's three strikes, the three of you will leave at once whenever you hear the name Shen Luo in the future!” Shen Luo's expression turned chillingly frosty.

“Fine. You've got guts!” Fire Child's face flashed with a red glow, and a layer of golden flame appeared on his right hand, blazing intensely.

The golden flame was pure and free of any impurity, and within it, one could vaguely see the phantom of a three-legged mythical bird, spreading a scorching heat similar to that of the blazing sun.

“You must be careful, Brother Shen. That is the Golden Crow True Fire, its prowess no less than your Vermilion Bird True Fire. I didn't expect Golden Crows to still exist today,” the voice of Fire Lingzi echoed in Shen Luo's mind.

“Golden Crow True Fire!” Upon hearing this, a thought suddenly surfaced in Shen Luo's heart.

“Take my first palm strike!” Fire Child bellowed, and a palm hurtled toward Shen Luo, warping the void as it passed.

Shen Luo raised his hand to meet it, a layer of deep blue light surfaced on his palm–the Indigo Ocean Divine Technique.

As the Indigo Blue Sea Technique continued to improve, its chill became more restrained and hidden, losing the overwhelmingly fierce coldness it had previously emitted when cast.

Gold and blue palms collided, emitting a dull thud.

Not only did the blue light on Shen Luo's palm fully withstand the Golden Crow True Fire, but it also seemed to overpower it.

“What!” Fire Child's face showed shock, but he quickly regained his composure.

His other palm flared up with even more Golden Crow True Fire, twice as large as the first strike and accompanied by shrill, piercing screeches. With a twist of his hand, he struck again.

Shen Luo's right hand shone even brighter with blue light, and the shadow of an ice mountain faintly emerged within it.

A muffled, thunderous noise reverberated as he caught Fire Child's second strike.

The Golden Crow True Fire surged wildly, attempting to burn through Shen Luo's palm of blue light, but unfortunately, it was firmly blocked by the ice mountain illusion within the blue light, unable to advance even half a step beyond the Thunder Pool.

Fire Child's face was full of disbelief, and then he roared in anger. His body erupted with golden flames, instantly engulfing the surroundings for tens of meters.
