Chapter 1648: Chapter 1644: Uninvited Guest

The palace that appeared before Shen Luo and the others was not particularly tall or grand, and its exterior had no distinguishing features, truly unremarkable.

"Zhou Tie, the thing you’ve been summoning, could it be inside this great hall?" Shen Luo looked at Zhou Tie and asked.

Zhou Tie did not answer Shen Luo but walked straight toward the Big Gate without the slightest hesitation, taking a step into the tightly closed white door.

Silvery light emerged upon the door, rippling like water waves, and Zhou Tie seemed to pass through a curtain of water, his figure disappearing into the Big Gate.

Shen Luo narrowed his eyes and immediately raised his hand to wave.

A silver light shot out from his hand, the Divine Rat, striking the still rippling white door before Zhou Tie’s figure had completely entered.

However, unlike Zhou Tie, the Divine Rat was repelled by a burst of white light upon contact with the door, letting out a pitiful whimper.

Nie Caizhu, who was nearby, swiftly raised her hand, emitting a gentle Spiritual Light to support the Divine Rat.

"What’s going on here?" She first checked the Divine Rat for any injuries, then seeing it was unharmed, turned to look at Shen Luo.

Shen Luo’s face showed contemplation, and after a moment, he folded his hands to form a Sword technique, reciting Spells.

Nine Pure Yang Swords shot out from his body, whirling and merging into one to form a Red Giant Sword, ten-odd zhang in size, bursting forth with tremendously powerful Sword Qi. It was the God’s Power of Nine Swords United.

He then pointed a finger to form a mantra, and several Heavenly Fires ignited upon the giant sword, interweaving with each other, significantly increasing the might of the giant sword, which slashed down on the white door with the force that could split mountains and seas.

"Boom,"

An earth-shattering loud noise erupted, as crimson light engulfed the Palace’s Big Gate.

Moments later, the red light dissipated, revealing the situation inside.

The blazing Greatsword was easily blocked by the white light on the door, with no damage done to the Big Gate behind it.

"Such a powerful prohibition, if I’m not wrong in my guess, this place is most likely the true Tianyan Palace," Shen Luo retracted the giant sword, showing no sign of disappointment, and spoke slowly.

"Really? Cousin, why do you think so, could it be because of Zhou Tie?" Nie Caizhu’s eyes moved.

"I have no special basis for it, just intuition. Anyway, we don’t have a specific destination, so let’s try to break the prohibition here first," Shen Luo spoke slowly.

"Indeed, but the prohibition on this Big Gate is extremely sturdy, and even Nine Swords United couldn’t shake it in the slightest. Using brute force to break the prohibition seems hopeless. Everyone, stand back, I will try with the Kunlun Mirror," Nie Caizhu nodded, summoning the Kunlun Mirror.

"The Kunlun Mirror also has the effect of breaking prohibitions?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

"Within the Kunlun Mirror resides the Dark Power of Xi Zi Ancestor Witch. The essence of Dark Power is a limitless gravity that devours everything, so it naturally has its uses against prohibitions. However, the white light prohibition on the Big Gate is profound, and I’m not very proficient in controlling the Kunlun Mirror, so it may not be able to break through, but let’s give it a try," Nie Caizhu said.

Shen Luo nodded, retreating to the side with the Enlightened Heavenly Beast for some distance.

Nie Caizhu murmured words, activating the Kunlun Mirror. The surface of the mirror instantly erupted with black light, turning into a shadowy dome that covered the entire Big Gate, forming an area of darkness that surged silently.

The space around the Tianyan Palace Big Gate seemed to be drawn by the area of darkness, slightly warping inward. The white light prohibition on the door kept flickering but showed no signs of weakening.

Shen Luo’s eyebrows furrowed; he was about to awaken the Fire Spirit Child in the Free and Easy Mirror, intending to borrow the Gu Xuan star disk in its hand to attempt breaking the prohibition.

"Someone is coming," the Enlightened Heavenly Beast’s ears twitched, and it suddenly looked towards the cliff entrance, speaking out.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo’s expression changed slightly, and seeing that Nie Caizhu was still focused on casting spells and had not concealed herself, he flipped his hand to take out the Five-Flame Seven-Birds Fan and also looked in that direction.

A series of footsteps sounded, and four figures appeared from afar; it was Che Qingtian accompanied by three black skeletons.

Above the four individuals floated a giant purple talisman about the size of a ruler, with some kind of sinister purple flame burning on it, the exact nature of which was unknown.

A thick purple light spread from the talisman, forming a deep purple light screen which withstood the Divine Destruction Light falling from the sky, emitting a series of crackling sounds.

Shen Luo initially thought it was Wu Luo coming back with reinforcements but was slightly astonished to find that it was Che Qingtian who had arrived.

"Shen Luo, it’s you!" Che Qingtian also spotted Shen Luo, his face twisted with ferocity, and he waved his hand to release green, purple, yellow, and white swords, ready to pounce forward.

Now greatly strengthened, Shen Luo had previously crossed swords with Che Qingtian and felt no fear. He glanced briefly at the three skeletons, then took out the Profound Yellow Staff, ready to engage in battle.

"Both of you, hold on a moment," a black shadow suddenly appeared between them, propping up a black light screen with each hand, keeping them apart; it was one of the three skeletons.

"You Quan, what are you doing? These people are my enemies, and yours too, let’s kill them together!" Che Qingtian shouted fiercely, yet his advance came to a halt.

Shen Luo was also quite surprised that one of the skeletons would suddenly speak and temporarily stayed his hand.

"Daoist Che, regardless of whatever grievances you have between each other, the priority now is to procure the treasure. Whether to engage in combat or not, I will be the judge of that," You Quan said indifferently.

"Indeed, Daoist Che, why get agitated?" Hong Ku appeared beside You Quan, chuckling hee-hee.

Jin Xiu glanced at Shen Luo, with a faint flicker of golden flames in his eyes, and flew next to You Quan without speaking a word.

A flash of ruthlessness briefly passed through Che Qingtian’s eyes, but he forcibly suppressed it and withdrew the four big swords.

Shen Luo glanced at the group and then slowly lowered the Profound Yellow Staff, curious to see what the other party intended to do next.

"You must be Daoist Shen, I’ve heard Che Qingtian mention you before. How did the few of you come to know that this place is the true Tianyan Palace?" You Quan looked at Shen Luo, the corners of his mouth revealing a hint of a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo’s eyes faintly wavered.

If this You Quan skeleton spoke in such a manner, then Shen Luo’s previous conjectures were not wrong; this was indeed the true Tianyan Palace.

By this time, Nie Caizhu had already stopped breaking the prohibition, retrieving the Kunlun Mirror to protect the three of them. The Enlightened Heavenly Beast was even more already poised and ready, especially closely watching the three skeletons with hostility in its eyes.

As a divine beast of the immortal clan, it naturally detested demonic aura and was only waiting for Shen Luo to give the word before launching into battle.

"I have my methods, and you also came for the treasures of Tianyan Palace, didn’t you? Protected by Gao Ming’s prohibitions, no one can touch the treasures inside without breaking them. Do you want to fight first or break the prohibitions before fighting? I, Shen, am up for either!" Shen Luo’s thoughts turned, he said coldly, while golden light began to shine again on the Profound Yellow Staff.

Rippling fluctuations appeared beside him, as eight Pure Yang Swords simultaneously emerged around him, spinning and dancing nimbly, their powerful sword qi sweeping forth, causing the surrounding void to ripple with twisted waves.

"Now that the treasure has yet to appear, it would be unwise for us to fight blindly. Why not set aside our past grievances for the moment, join forces to break the prohibition, and then each rely on our abilities to vie for the treasures inside? What do you think?" You Quan said, he-he laughing, not caring about the dominance displayed by Shen Luo.
