Chapter 1472: Chapter 1468: Strange Changes in the City Chapter 1472: Chapter 1468: Strange Changes in the City “Fire Spirit Child, Daoist friend, I'd appreciate it if you could investigate Grandma Qiu's memories and see what her relationship with these demons is,” Shen Luo transmitted his thoughts to Fire Spirit Child and said, before his figure flickered and vanished again.

“Just finished exerting myself to refine the Pure Yang Sword for you, and I finally had some free time to study the Spirit Refining Array, but now you bring me this troublesome task,” Fire Spirit Child complained, but still activated the Netherworld Furnace and flew above Grandma Qiu, casting down a beam of pink light.

The situation around was urgent, and Shen Luo pushed his bodily movement technique to the limit, appearing instantly beside the huge fissure, his hands emanating a surging blue light, forming hand seals with a flick.

Two thick beams of blue light shot out from his hands, disappearing into the huge fissure in an instant.

A torrential cold air burst forth from the fissure, as a hundred-foot-tall Blue Ice Mountain appeared out of thin air, freezing the fissure within it, along with the black Qi, which turned into a blue ice pillar standing silently there.

The demons within the black Qi were also completely frozen, their flesh and divine souls assaulted by the cold, instantly frozen solid on the spot.

Having just fled, the demons were attacking people nearby and destroying houses. Seeing their exit frozen shut, they all howled furiously and flew back toward it.

“Perfect timing, all of you go to die!” Shen Luo waved his sleeve, and four Flying Swords shot out from his body. In pairs, they combined into three illusory beams of Crimson Sword Light, vanishing into thin air amidst thunderous explosions.

The next moment, the three beams of Sword Light circled swiftly near the fissure, appearing now before them and now behind; within a few breaths, they had slain all of the demons on the spot.

Having finished all this, Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of paleness swept across his face.

He had already severely depleted his Dantian Power during the previous treasure refining process, and having not fully recovered, he had just now consecutively employed numerous Big Miraculous Powers, causing his Dantian Power to become empty once again.

He took out an Immortal Crystal and grasped it in his hand, absorbing the spiritual energy within, and his Dantian Power began to recover rapidly.

Shen Luo's heart relaxed, and he flickered to Lu Huaming's side.

“Brother Lu, are you alright?” he asked with concern.

“I'm fine, and once again, I owe you my rescue,” Lu Huaming had already stood up.

“We are close friends, why mention such formalities. Your Mana is greatly spent; stay here and recover your vitality while you hold the position at this fissure. I will go check other places in the city,” Shen Luo told Lu Huaming, not waiting for a response before he soared towards another fissure.

Lu Huaming watched Shen Luo leave, then glanced at the corpses of the demons surrounding him, gripping the Greatsword in his hand, seemingly making a certain decision.

With Shen Luo's current speed, it only took a few breaths to reach another fissure.

A rolling Black Qi continued to surge from underground at this place, with numerous demons constantly flying out. Several Tang Dynasty Government Disciples struggled valiantly here, but sadly, they were no match for the numbers and were about to be slain.

Shen Luo was about to make a move, spurring the six Pure Yang Swords beside him with a hand seal.

A whip-like beam of white light shot from afar, striking into the midst of the demon horde — it was a white whip, bound with numerous bright blades, looking exceptionally sharp.

The whip swept across those demons, instantly cutting their bodies in two.

Following the white whip, a figure emerged — it was Hu Bugui.

“Brother Hu,” Shen Luo showed a look of surprise.

The Disciples of Silk Cave had already left Chang'an City, and he thought Hu Bugui had left as well, but unexpectedly, he was still here.

Hu Bugui also noticed Shen Luo and nodded in acknowledgment from afar.

Shen Luo nodded in response, urging the six Pure Yang Swords to strike at the other demons.

These demons were not very strong, just numerous. For an ordinary True Immortal Cultivator, they might be difficult to contend with, but not for Shen Luo.

His attack included the seven Pure Yang Swords, the Profound Yellow Staff, the Turn Sky Seal, and the Nine Nether Demon Ring. His defense had the Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing and the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet, so he was not afraid of being surrounded.

Shen Luo activated the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet to protect his body, flitting through the crowd of demons. Crimson sword light flickered continuously by his side, slaying most of the surrounding demons in just a few breaths.

The remaining Demonic Beings, seeing no weakness in Shen Luo, turned and fled.

Shen Luo did not pursue them, instead, his figure shot forth, appearing next to the huge fissure. His hands emitted a bright blue light, and two thick light pillars burst forth, aiming at the interior of the fissure.

At that moment, a shadow flickered behind him in the void, and a pitch-black beast claw reached for his Dantian, aimed at piercing through his body in one strike.

However, a streak of yellow light passed behind Shen Luo, and a yellow figure emerged out of nowhere, grabbing the black beast claw as if it had anticipated its attack.

The black beast claw was startled, struggling to retract its paw, but the grip of the yellow figure was like a steel hoop, unyielding to the slightest degree.

The yellow figure opened its mouth wide, and a ball of gray-white flames struck the void behind the beast claw.

With a “sizzle,” the darkness of the void was burned away by the gray-white flames, revealing a figure enveloped in Black Qi. Its shoulder was ablaze with the gray-white flame, which spread rapidly to other areas.

The dark silhouette seemed to fear the gray-white flames tremendously, and despite rapid flickering of black light attempting to shake them off, it was to no avail.

The gray-white flames spread quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they had enveloped the upper half of the body, easily burning away the surrounding Black Qi, within which was a young man of handsome appearance, yet with a pair of fox ears.

“Fox Clan…” Shen Luo's expression seized in astonishment.

Hu Bugui, standing to the side, also saw the true form of the young man and his expression changed slightly.

Shen Luo sharply noticed the change in Hu Bugui's expression and, with a flicker in his eyes, waved his left hand, sending the concentrated blue light in his palm onto the Fox Clan young man.

With a “crack,” a chunk of blue ice the size of a house appeared around the Fox Clan young man, freezing him within, rendering him immobile.

Shen Luo waved his right hand similarly, and the blue light in his hand became a thick pillar of light that entered the fissure in the ground.

A massive burst of cold air erupted, and another ice mountain coalesced, freezing the ground fissure within it, sealing it completely.

“Unexpectedly, Brother Shen is also proficient in the Art of Ice and Frost. I admire that,” praised Hu Bugui as he flew over.

“It's just a little trick. I'm surprised to see Brother Hu still in Chang'an City,” Shen Luo said indifferently, sweeping his sleeve to emit a swath of crimson light, enclosing the blue ice around the Fox Clan young man and taking it with him.

Beside him, the yellow figure, who was the Sky Fiend Corpse King, retreated its gray-white flames and vanished with a shimmer.

Hu Bugui, watching this scene, hesitated to speak.

“Thank you, Elder Shen, for lending a hand,” a few of the remaining Tang Dynasty Government Disciples flew over, bowing their thanks to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo waved his hand, about to say something when the ground suddenly started to tremble violently. A large expanse of yellow light burst out from Underground, reaching only a few feet high.

Shen Luo felt his body sinking, as if he were trapped in a quagmire, and hurriedly mustered his Mana to break free from the yellow light, escaping to Mid Air, his expression subtly changing.

The yellow light was not limited to the Surroundings; looking around, the entire ground of Chang'an City was now emitting that kind of yellow light, shrouding all the buildings within Chang'an City.
