Chapter 1639: Chapter 1635: Domestication and the Master

"Wu Luo, didn’t you say let them fight each other first so we could reap the benefits? What now? Not only did we fail to snatch the Kunlun Mirror, but we also let those two escape unscathed." The black-robed youth angrily threw down the horse-faced man and scolded.

They had previously seen Che Qingtian and another causing trouble, and they even wanted to use them against Shen Luo, waiting for them to wear each other down before making a move themselves.

Upon hearing this, Wu Luo’s expression turned icy. He glanced at the black-robed youth but didn’t offer any explanation.

"Aren’t you the same, claiming to be unmatched in speed and declaring that the Kunlun Mirror would be easily captured? What now?" The horse-faced man, half-lying on the ground, retorted angrily.

"You dare to speak? You’re nothing but trash. If it weren’t for me, you’d be just like that unlucky fellow just now; where would you be now if not for that, blaming me here?" The black-robed youth sneered and said.

The horse-faced man wanted to argue back but was suddenly silenced by Wu Luo’s angry reprimand: "Shut up, both of you. It’s no use talking anymore. The only option we have now is to force our way through."

Hearing this, the horse-faced man and the black-robed youth both calmed down.

Following Wu Luo, they made their way towards the deeper part of the altar.

After taking a few steps, Wu Luo suddenly stopped, turned back to look at Che Qingtian who was still standing there, and said:

"Daoist Che, there is actually no direct conflict between us. How about we join forces later on? If we encounter Shen Luo and the others again, cooperation would surely be more beneficial than undermining each other, wouldn’t it?"

Che Qingtian did not remove his Eight-Armed Heavenly Dragon Armor, and his dragon eyes glanced at Wu Luo and his two companions. Yet, he chose to ignore them completely, turned his body, and also left the altar.

Seeing this, Wu Luo did not show any change in expression, turned around and continued to lead the two towards the depths of the altar.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the deepest part of the ruins, where there stood a light door. Wu Luo approached it and stepped in without the slightest hesitation.

The black-robed youth and the horse-faced man couldn’t help but glance back at the battlefield they had just left before stepping into the light door.

...

On the outskirts of Dark City, a beam of escape light fell from the sky, and the figures of Shen Luo and Nie Caizhu appeared from within.

Upon landing, Shen Luo immediately stumbled, and with a "puh," he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Full of concern, Nie Caizhu hurriedly helped him sit down on a broken stone.

"How is it, are your injuries serious?" Nie Caizhu asked with concern.

"It’s okay, it’s just that my mana has been depleted too much; the injuries themselves are not too severe." Shen Luo waved his hand and said.

After speaking, he took out a healing pill and a restorative elixir, consuming them one after the other, and immediately sat down cross-legged to begin refining the potency of the medicines.

Seeing this, Nie Caizhu stood behind Shen Luo, pinching a magic spell with one hand, as the sound of chanting emerged from her mouth.

Then, a water-blue glow illuminated around her body, enveloping Shen Luo.

Accompanying the resounding sacred valley chants, streaks of golden light shone upon Shen Luo’s body. His injuries began to heal rapidly, and even his vitality and strength were much restored.

Nie Caizhu, seeing the effect achieved, ceased her Salvation of All Beings power and began to carefully guard the surroundings.

A moment later, Shen Luo finally let out a long sigh, slowly opening his eyes.

"How is it now?" Nie Caizhu hurriedly asked upon seeing this.

"The injuries were not severe to begin with, and with your help, I’ve fully recovered. The only issue is, it will take some time to completely replenish my mana, but it’s not a big problem now." Shen Luo said with a smile.

"That’s good to hear." Nie Caizhu relaxed upon hearing this.

"Have you completely refined the Kunlun Mirror?" Shen Luo, recalling the previous incident, couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, this treasure is very compatible with me, and I can control it effortlessly." Nie Caizhu nodded her head and replied.

"Then..."

Shen Luo was about to say something when he suddenly called out with a cold voice, "Come out..."

Upon hearing this, Nie Caizhu’s expression changed slightly, and she immediately looked around warily. Just now, she had been keeping her Divine Sense open to monitor her surroundings and had not noticed anyone approaching.

"Daoist friend, no need to panic. If I had intended to harm you, I would not have extended a helping hand earlier." At that moment, a somewhat familiar voice arose, and a handsome Teenager dressed in a blue robe slowly made his appearance.

"Is it you?"

Shen Luo glanced over and recognized him as the Enlightened Heavenly Beast who had helped them against Wu Luo and the others previously.

"I have some innate divine abilities, so tracking the traces of your escape was not difficult, and that’s why I caught up so quickly. In order not to arouse your suspicion, I did not reveal myself earlier and waited until you were finished healing your injuries before coming here," explained the Enlightened Heavenly Beast, spreading his hands.

In his words, there was an obvious release of goodwill.

"Daoist friend, I thank you for lending us your aid earlier." Shen Luo stood up and cupped his hands in thanks.

"No need for such courtesy. To tell you the truth, my assistance was also to stop the Shadow War Leopard and his companions," the Enlightened Heavenly Beast explained, waving his hand.

"Shadow War Leopard?" Shen Luo frowned and asked.

"That’s the Black-robed Youth you fought earlier. The other, the Horse-faced Man, his true form is that of a Profound Fire Divine Steed. Like me, they are spirit beasts that are imprisoned here," the Enlightened Heavenly Beast explained.

"If I may ask, why were you imprisoned here?" Shen Luo inquired tentatively.

"Saying ’imprisoned’ might not be entirely accurate; it’s more like we are kept here. It’s just that our primordial spirit imprints are inside the Tianyan Palace, sealed away," the Enlightened Heavenly Beast explained.

"In that case, you three should be in the same boat and share the same stance, so why is there enmity amongst you?" Shen Luo continued to ask with some caution.

"I am somewhat different from them; I voluntarily followed Master Tianyan in the past, while they were forcibly enslaved. The Shadow War Leopard, in particular, already had a master," the Enlightened Heavenly Beast said.

"Who was his master?" Shen Luo asked.

"I’m not sure. I only know that he was originally a spirit beast under a demon cultivator. We were previously confined in the Spirit Beast Garden until one day, more than a hundred years ago, a Demonic Artifact tore through the skies, shattering some of the seals in the Tianyan Palace, allowing the three of us to escape from the Spirit Beast Garden. I’ve always felt that the owner of that Demonic Artifact is likely also the master of the Shadow War Leopard," said the Enlightened Heavenly Beast.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo looked puzzled and suddenly thought of something, asking, "Has Wu Luo ever been to the Tianyan Palace before?"

"When is ’before’? To my recollection, he has never been here," the Enlightened Heavenly Beast shook his head and replied.

"Is there any connection between Wu Luo and the Shadow War Leopard or the Profound Fire Divine Steed?" Shen Luo continued to inquire.

"I’m not sure," the Enlightened Heavenly Beast shook his head again.

"The demon cultivator you mentioned, the original master of the Shadow War Leopard, I believe could very likely be Wu Luo," Shen Luo stated.

After hearing this, the Enlightened Heavenly Beast remained silent, his face showing a contemplative expression.
