The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1465

Chapter 1465: Chapter 1461: Breaking the National Fate Chapter 1465: Chapter 1461: Breaking the National Fate Moments later, Shen Luo's vision brightened as he found himself near a mountain range shrouded in grey mist, which hindered his sight and was filled with a dense Yin Qi.

Shen Luo's brows slightly raised. This place was none other than the Yinling Mountains near Chang'an City.

He had already thoroughly explored these mountains and the ancient tomb deep within them in Dreamland. Thus, there were no more secrets here for him.

However, he no longer possessed the Six Chen Whip and could not properly utilize the powerful Yin souls in the deepest parts of the ancient tomb.

“I can recall about forty to fifty percent of the Soul Devouring Array within the Six Chen Whip. Once Fire Spirit Child thoroughly studies the Soul Refining Formation, I might try telling him about the Soul Devouring Battle formation map to see if he can research the complete Great Formation,” Shen Luo thought to himself. He then transformed into a red light and swiftly left, arriving at Chang'an City soon after.

He concealed his presence and flew into the city from above without a moment's delay.

With his current level of cultivation, he no longer needed to adhere to the so-called prohibitions of Chang'an City.

Inside the main hall of the Great Tang Dynasty Government, Lu Huaming was holding a brush, busily correcting some documents.

However, he seemed very unaccustomed to it; the brush in his hand felt as heavy as a thousand jin, and sweat was already visible on his forehead.

Besides Lu Huaming, there were two other elders from the Government Official in the main hall, one in grey clothes and another in a white robe, engaged in the same task.

“Elder Lin, isn't there any other work? I really can't get used to this business of writing with a brush,” Lu Huaming couldn't help putting down the brush and asking.

Correcting documents here felt even more exhausting than battling three high-level experts at once.

“Lu Xianzhi, there aren't many documents left, just endure for half an hour more and it will be done. Various matters in the city need attention, and all other elders of the Great Tang Dynasty Government have been dispatched; only the three of us remain here, so please bear with it a little longer,” the grey-clothed elder said.

Lu Huaming sighed and picked up the brush again.

Seeing Lu Huaming like this, Shen Luo chuckled inwardly, dispelled his invisibility, and made his appearance known.

“Daoist friend Shen, what brings you here? Have you discovered any new situations?” Lu Huaming was slightly startled and stood up.

Shen Luo grunted affirmatively and informed Lu Huaming about everything he had uncovered in the Underworld, naturally omitting some of his own secrets and the existence of the Nameless Wild Ghost.

He had initially planned to inform the higher-ups of the Great Tang Government about the Nameless Wild Ghost to help the Underworld find the hidden enemy sooner. However, Soul Hook Horse Face had requested Shen Luo not to divulge this matter to outsiders because it was a matter internal to Yama's Palace. If they couldn't solve it on their own, it would embarrass Yama's Palace in the presence of other sects' forces.

Shen Luo recalled a similar situation during a previous incident in Chang'an when Cheng Yaojin also refused help from other sect experts for the same reason.

These matters were not significant but clearly highlighted the alienation between the forces of the Three Realms, causing Shen Luo to worry silently.

“So Brother Shen, you went to the Underworld and uncovered such critical information; I am embarrassed by my ineffectiveness as we here have discovered nothing,” Lu Huaming said with a bitter smile.

“There are many people in the Great Tang Government Official, and procedures must be followed, awaiting instructions from above. I have always been a loner and naturally get some things done a bit quicker. Let's not talk about this now; we should hurry to the Imperial Palace and report these matters to Master Yuan,” Shen Luo urged.

“Yes, let's hurry! Elder Lin, Elder Wang, we leave the matters here to you,” Lu Huaming said to the two elders beside him, impatient to leave, and immediately pulled Shen Luo along.

The two elders looked helpless but knew the necessity of the situation and didn't force Lu Huaming to stay.

“Seems like Brother Lu really dislikes this kind of work,” Shen Luo remarked with a chuckle after they left the main hall.

“I'm dead tired. I'd rather fight demons for three hundred rounds,” Lu Huaming replied in an utterly exhausted manner.

“By the way, I visited the Underworld and met Friend Gu,” Shen Luo laughed and then said.

“Ling'er? How has she been recently?” Lu Huaming perked up and asked.

“Not too bad, but she's been surrounded by people trying to curry favor with her, which has brought her quite some distress,” Shen Luo chuckled.

“What!” Lu Huaming's expression suddenly darkened.

“What's wrong? Want to go see her? Don't worry, I've inquired about it. Friend Gu is annoyed by those people and has been diligently cultivating,” Shen Luo said.

“I see,” Lu Huaming sighed in relief, but his expression still had a hint of impatience.

“As for Friend Gu, once things here are wrapped up, you can go ask her. But first, we need to meet Master Yuan in the Imperial Palace,” Shen Luo reminded him.

Lu Huaming immediately snapped back to reality and accompanied Shen Luo to the Imperial Palace to see Yuan Tiangang.

“Iron nails! Blood on the ground!” Upon hearing Shen Luo's words, Yuan Tiangang's expression grew grave, and he took out nine green counting rods, activating them with a spell.

The nine counting rods rolled agilely between his fingertips and shortly clattered onto a table beside him.

“Just as I thought, it's a Dragon-breaking Nail!” Yuan Tiangang slowly said.

“Dragon-breaking Nail? Are you referring to those black iron nails? What kind of magical treasure is that?” Lu Huaming curiously asked.

“Dragon-breaking Nails are not magical treasures but a magical instrument condensed from filthy Qi, specifically designed to destroy dragon veins. Chang'an City is where the Great Tang Dragon Vein converges. They intend to fundamentally sever the fate of our Great Tang Kingdom!” A chill flashed in Yuan Tiangang's eyes.

“To destroy the dragon veins!” Shen Luo's heart sank.

Although dragon veins and spiritual veins differ by only one character, their significances are vastly different; the so-called dragon veins involve concepts such as fate, which is much more severe than the spiritual veins.

“Has the Great Tang Dragon Vein already been destroyed?” Lu Huaming also realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly asked.

“Our Great Tang Kingdom is flourishing, and the dragon vein is vast; a few Dragon-breaking Nails will only cause some damage to the dragon vein, not a fatal destruction. However, to be safe, I need to immediately go to Circular Mound to check,” Yuan Tiangang said, his tone quite urgent.

“If that's the case, we'll take our leave first,” Shen Luo said.

“Thank you, Daoist friend Shen, for making the trip to the Underworld. Once everything settles down, the court will definitely reward you,” Yuan Tiangang said, looking at Shen Luo.

“Thank you, Master,” Shen Luo expressed his gratitude, but he didn't seem too concerned, and he bade farewell to Lu Huaming and left.

“Daoist friend Shen, will you be staying in Chang'an City for the coming days?” As soon as they left the Imperial Palace, Lu Huaming stopped Shen Luo to ask.

With major incidents continuously occurring in Chang'an City and Cheng Yaojin nowhere to be found, Lu Huaming felt a vague unease.

“I will. If Brother Lu needs help with anything, feel free to ask,” Shen Luo, seeing Lu Huaming's disquiet, nodded and said.

“Thank you so much, Brother Shen,” Lu Huaming rejoiced.

With Shen Luo's formidable strength, having his help truly relieved Lu Huaming.

Although Lu Huaming disliked dealing with the affairs of the Great Tang Dynasty Government, given the current critical situation, he would not let his personal preferences delay important matters. After parting with Shen Luo, he returned to the Great Tang Dynasty Government on his own.
