The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1478

Chapter 1478: Chapter 1474: Leaving the Government Official Chapter 1478: Chapter 1474: Leaving the Government Official “I may not be from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, but that place is the birthplace of the Fox Clan. I have been there several times. That person's name is Tu Shanming. He and I have met several times before,” Hu Bugui said with a light sigh.

“What do you think then, Brother Hu? Was the attack on Chang'an really the work of the Qingqiu Fox Clan?” Shen Luo asked in a deep voice.

“In the previous attack, that gigantic fox shadow openly challenged the factions of the Three Realms. Now that Chang'an has been attacked a second time, members of the Qingqiu Fox Clan brazenly assisted those demons. The facts are right before us. Even if these attacks were not orchestrated by the Qingqiu Fox Clan, they are highly implicated. Members from all factions of the Three Realms have died at the hands of these demons. It seems a great disaster is descending upon the Qingqiu Fox Clan,” Hu Bugui stated solemnly.

An image of the Jing River Dragon King flashed in Shen Luo's mind, his gaze shifting.

“What, don't you think so, Friend Shen?” Hu Bugui asked.

“Everyone present here is highly accomplished. Since so many from the Qingqiu Fox Clan have been captured, it shouldn't be difficult to investigate the truth,” Shen Luo responded with a rhetorical question.

“This is where the strangeness lies,” Hu Bugui continued, “Just as two elders from the Tang Dynasty Government were about to use the Soul Searching Technique on those from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, all those foxes and demons suddenly perished. Their souls were utterly dispersed. Clearly, someone had set a prohibition on them to kill and silence them at a critical moment.”

“Indeed, those demons and members of the Fox Clan also had the Demon Butterfly Heart Mark placed within them,” Shen Luo muttered under his breath.

“Not good!” His expression suddenly changed, as he fiercely remembered something.

Mi Su was still at the Tang Dynasty Government office, and many people knew of her connections with the Qingqiu Fox Clan. The Tang Dynasty Government had lost many disciples in these two attacks, and Cheng Yaojin was ambushed, his life and death unknown. The resentment towards the Qingqiu Fox Clan was as deep as the ocean, and they might take action against her.

“Brother Shen, what's wrong?” Hu Bugui asked anxiously.

“I've just remembered something urgent, I must attend to it immediately,” Shen Luo said hastily, and his figure flew away into the distance.

A few breaths later, he arrived at the Tang Dynasty Government residence.

Several disciples of the Tang Dynasty Government had burst into his residence, their faces fierce as they surrounded Mi Su.

Mi Su seemed to have been attacked and had already transformed into her fox form, her body snow-white with two fox tails growing behind her.

“The white fox with multiple tails, surely a member of the Qingqiu lineage! Capture her and hand her over to the elders for disposition!” A young man with notably large ears said hatefully, waving his hand to cast a large black net down towards Mi Su.

Mi Su curled up, trembling all over, her eyes filled with tears, unable to make any move to resist as she was about to be captured.

“Stop!” Shen Luo shouted coldly, his sleeve flicking out a golden light to support the black net.

“Who!” The few Tang Dynasty Government disciples were startled, then they saw Shen Luo.

“It turns out to be Elder Shen. Please forgive us for intruding into your residence. We will go to the Disciplinary Hall later to accept our punishment. However, as the Qingqiu Fox Clan has instigated demons to attack Chang'an City and caused countless casualties, they are mortal enemies of our Tang Dynasty Government. Please, Elder, do not protect these demons!” The square-faced youth bowed to Shen Luo with a still assertive tone.

“Whether the attack on Chang'an was indeed orchestrated by the Qingqiu Fox Clan is still under investigation; rash conclusions should not be made. Moreover, Mi Su is young and weak; she could not have been involved in these attacks. I ask my fellow Daoists to show mercy. I will discuss Mi Su's matter with the elders of your sect,” Shen Luo said.

Having spoken, he did not wait for the square-faced youth to respond. He flicked his sleeve, sending out a red light that enveloped Mi Su and brought her into the Free and Easy Mirror.

“Seems like Elder Shen is determined to protect the remnants of the Fox Clan! Although you have superior cultivation, there is nothing we can do, but I request that Your Excellency leave the Great Tang Dynasty Government immediately. We do not welcome anyone related to the Fox Clan here,” the stern young man said, his eyes red with rage.

“Senior Brother Fang Hui, Elder Shen is a distinguished guest of our Tang Dynasty Government. He has helped our sect tremendously during the two attacks. How can you expel an elder like this!” a female disciple by his side said in panic, her expression changing drastically.

“This matter is my own doing. If the elders decide to punish, I alone will bear the responsibility. It won't involve any of you!” the young man shouted fiercely.

The female disciple, seeming quite fearful of the young man, said no more.

Shen Luo glanced at everyone and, without saying anything, turned and flew away.

Outside the Great Tang Dynasty Government, Hu Bugui stood silently.

“The disciples of the Great Tang Dynasty Government are grieved over the loss of their fellow sect members, hence their disrespectful words. Do not take it to heart, Brother Shen,” Hu Bugui said.

“Of course, I know. But looking at their demeanor, I'm afraid the Qingqiu Fox Clan may indeed face a great calamity,” Shen Luo sighed.

“Let's discuss this matter later. The city is currently unsettled, and it isn't suitable for us to wander outside. Let's go back to the inn where I stay first,” Hu Bugui suggested, looking around.

Shen Luo nodded, turned, and soon arrived at the inn.

Shen Luo briefly described the situation outside to Mi Su, asking her to stay calm within the Carefree Mirror, then closed his eyes and began to meditate to recover the mana expended in tonight's great battle.

Over the past few days, his continuous battles deepened his understanding of the Huangting Technique, subtly advancing his cultivation level.

Unfortunately, he lacked elixirs to aid him and could only proceed with seated meditation and Qi refining at a very slow pace.

“I hope that Daoist Black Bear has already prepared the Fire Lotus Pill,” Shen Luo thought silently to himself, then concentrated on his meditation to recover.

The night quickly passed, and daylight brightened.

Shen Luo opened his eyes, and two bright, crystal lights shot out. His vitality was fully restored. He rose and walked to the living room, raising his eyebrows in surprise.

Hu Bugui was up and drinking tea in the hall, but there were also two other figures present–it was Lu Huaming and Elder Huang Mu.

“Brother Lu, Elder Huang Mu, what brings you here?” Shen Luo asked, quite surprised.

“Brother Shen, we are here to apologize. The disciple named Fang Hui who spoke rudely to you yesterday has been severely punished by us. Please consider his grief for his fallen fellow disciples and show some forbearance,” Lu Huaming stood up, bowing deeply.

He appeared to have recovered somewhat from his injuries, but his complexion was still somewhat pale.

“Of course, I might have handled yesterday's incident rashly myself. However, since I brought Mi Su to the Great Tang Dynasty Government, I must take responsibility for her. I hope you can forgive us,” Shen Luo quickly helped him, returning the bow.

“That's understandable. Mi Su is just a young child and naturally unrelated to the previous two attacks. However, since she is from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, it's best if she does not show herself in Chang'an City later on. Aside from our Tang Dynasty Government, there are many from other sects in the city who greatly despise the Qingqiu Fox Clan,” Elder Huang Mu said, his tone cooling slightly when mentioning the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

“Rest assured, Elder Huang Mu, I will immediately send her back to Qingqiu Country to be properly settled by her clan, so as not to cause any more trouble for you all. By the way, how is Duke Cheng doing? I left in a hurry yesterday and didn't see how he was,” Shen Luo nodded, then inquired.
