The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1455

Chapter 1455: Chapter 1451 Ancient Witch Pattern Chapter 1455: Chapter 1451 Ancient Witch Pattern “No problem, I'll take responsibility for finding the people.” Shen Luo descended several dozen feet underground and stopped in his tracks, flipping his hand out to reveal an object. It was the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

He formed a hand seal with both hands, and the Map of Mountains and Rivers emitted a bright white light, unfurling and landing on the ground of the passageway.

Beams of yellow light shot out from the Map of Mountains and Rivers, merging into the ground below, while within the map itself, clusters of yellow light rapidly changed.

Shen Luo's fingers flew as he made hand seals, his body's mana was devoured by the Map of Mountains and Rivers like a surging tide, ten times more than activating any Magical Treasures.

His complexion gradually became pale, but his casting speed did not slow down.

The yellow lights within the Map of Mountains and Rivers twisted and changed, forming a cluster of yellow phantoms.

Soul Hook Horse Face looked closely and showed a stunned expression; that cluster of yellow phantoms was a reduced version of a regional map, exactly the Nameless Ghost City here, with both the surface and the four underground layers clearly displayed.

Inside this miniature terrain, various colored light points flickered. Predominantly black and ash, there were also a few other colors, with varying brightness.

“Are these light points the living beings inside the Nameless Ghost City? The brighter the light, the higher their cultivation level?” Soul Hook Horse Face became even more astonished, his gaze quickly settled on the passage leading to the underground, right where he and Shen Luo were located, with a gold and a black light point flashing there.

The golden light point was exceptionally bright, far surpassing the adjacent black one.

“Indeed.” Soul Hook Horse Face confirmed, his gaze toward the Map of Mountains and Rivers becoming fervent.

Such a treasure against the heavens exists in the world, no wonder Shen Luo was confident he could find the souls of the Chang'an people.

With that thought, Soul Hook Horse Face hurriedly looked throughout the miniature Nameless Ghost City for the souls of the people, but he could not distinguish which light points they were for the moment.

At this moment, Soul Hook Horse Face saw Shen Luo's gaze pause on a corner of the Nameless Ghost City's fourth layer, where there were dozens of faint light points, very unremarkable and hard to notice without looking closely.

“Could these be?” Before Soul Hook Horse Face could speak, the miniature Nameless Ghost City suddenly dispersed, and all the spiritual light on the Map of Mountains and Rivers collapsed, falling to the ground like an ordinary scroll.

Shen Luo's face was extremely pale, and he sat down on the ground, his mana completely exhausted.

He forced himself to take out an Elixir and swallowed it, closing his eyes to recuperate and refine its power.

“It seems that using this scroll consumes a lot,” Soul Hook Horse Face thought to himself, standing by to protect Shen Luo.

After a good while, Shen Luo finally stood up, picked up the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and put it away.

That divine power of exploration just now was one of the abilities of the Map of Mountains and Rivers; this map could connect and communicate with the surrounding Earth Veins to probe the conditions within the surrounding terrain.

This divine power of exploration was a deep-level prohibition ability of the Map of Mountains and Rivers. He had recently refined the Map of Mountains and Rivers to a profound level, and combined with the experience of using the Map of Mountains and Rivers in Dreamland, he was able to research this divine power.

However, using this divine power was very manconsuming, and since his current cultivation level was low, he could only maintain it for a few breaths.

“Friend Shen, are you alright?” Soul Hook Horse Face asked with concern.

“I'm fine, let's go, we mustn't delay. Let's go rescue the Chang'an people,” Shen Luo said as he took out two Escape Earth Talismans and affixed them to himself and Soul Hook Horse Face.

With a flash of yellow light, the two of them entered the ground and headed directly towards the corner of the fourth layer of the Nameless Ghost City.

Zhao Feiji, Shen Luo did not summon him back, allowing him to move freely in the underground space, hunting Yin Beasts to supplement himself.

The two rapidly traversed underground, soon reaching the first layer beneath the Nameless Ghost City, which was much like the ruins of the city walls above ground, but relatively better preserved.

Shen Luo and Ma Mian did not stay there and continued to descend to the lower frontier. The second layer of the Nameless Ghost City was similar to the first, only the space was broader, and the buildings even more towering.

“The architectural style here differs greatly from that of Yama's Palace, it seems these aren't the original buildings of this place?” Shen Luo stopped on the second layer and inquired.

“Brother Shen speaks truly. The Nameless Ghost City indeed did not belong to Yama's Palace before. Thousands of years ago, during a tremor that swept the entire Underworld, it suddenly appeared here. I was far from being born at that time, so my knowledge of this place is limited, found only in brief records in some classics,” Ma Mian said.

Shen Luo gave an “oh” and looked at several giant stone columns.

There, carved with groups of rustic patterns that linked together, they seemed to form some kind of array techniques, yet completely different from the spirit patterns, demon patterns, or even demonic patterns he knew.

If it were just this, he wouldn't have paid too much attention. The Great World was full of wonders, and it was normal to find completely unfamiliar formation patterns. However, these patterns gave him a faint sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

“Eh, what's this?” Fire Spirit Child's surprised voice rang out.

“Daoist Fire Spirit Child, do you recognize these formation patterns?” Shen Luo asked hastily.

“These are Ancient Witch Patterns. It's unexpected to find them still in existence today. Judging by your reaction just now, have you seen Witch Patterns before?” Fire Spirit Child spoke.

“Witch Patterns!” A bolt of lightning flashed through Shen Luo's mind, recalling where he had seen such patterns before. It was in Dreamland, where he obtained one of the Twelve Ancestral Witch Weapons, the War God Whip, which bore patterns similar to the formation patterns before him.

“Could it be that this place is a Witch Clan relic?” he thought to himself, his eyes lighting up.

He had always been curious about this Ancient Times tribe that had ruled the wild lands. In Dreamland, he had also acquired an Ancestral Witch Weapon and the Twelve Heavenly Cities God-slaying Formation. Now, he had unexpectedly encountered a Witch Clan relic.

It seemed that he had quite a connection with the Witch Clan.

“Brother Shen, there will be plenty of time to study this relic later. Let's go rescue those people of Chang'an first,” Ma Mian suggested, seeing Shen Luo lost in thought, and coughed before speaking.

“Yes, let's move on,” Shen Luo immediately snapped back to reality and, stimulating the Escape Earth Talisman, continued to descend to the third layer beneath the Nameless Ghost City.

Upon entering, Shen Luo immediately felt strands of chilling Yin Qi emerge in the surrounding void, assailing his body and causing him to shudder all over, as if his limbs were freezing.

“Yin Poison?” His eyebrow raised in surprise, he quickly activated the Vermilion Bird True Fire within the Pure Yang Sword, coursing through his entire body and promptly purging the Yin Poison.

A black light flickered on Ma Mian's body too, and his slightly darkened face swiftly returned to normal.

Before the two could do anything else, several black figures shot forth from the darkness around them, with a strong foul wind surging at them.

Ma Mian's face paled slightly, and with a swift movement, he had already flashed to a spot dozens of feet away.

Just then, a dazzling red light burst forth in front of them, forming a giant lotus, while those black figures were sent flying backward with screams, apparently suffering significant damage.

From the heart of the red lotus, Shen Luo flicked his sleeve and several red sword shadows shot out, vaguely covered with a layer of red flames, piercing through the bodies of the black figures.

The screams of the black figures abruptly ceased, their life forces extinguished, revealing their true forms as several humanoid ghosts.

These ghosts were dressed in blue robes and wore light purple high hats, looking distinct from common ghosts. Although they had perished, their bodies did not dissipate into Yin Qi but still swirled with powerful fluctuations of Yin Qi.
