The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 524

Chapter 524: 520 Chapter 524: 520 Shen Luo took out a yellow talisman paper and flicked it with his finger.

The talisman paper sizzled and transformed into a crimson flame the size of a millstone, engulfing the two bodies, burning fiercely, and quickly reducing them to ashes.

This was a new Blaze Talisman he had recently learnt. Although it only released a ball of flame, it was very handy for destroying corpses and eliminating traces.

Having done this, Shen Luo approached the white starfish transformed by Nu Chuan, his gaze ice-cold as he flicked his finger.

Two red sword Qis shot out at once, penetrating the lower half of the white starfish's body with a “puff-puff” sound.

These people had meticulously planned to kill him, and naturally, he would show no mercy. However, Nu Chuan was the only survivor, and he was not ready to take her life just yet.

The white starfish, punctured with two holes, did not bleed much and remained motionless on the ground, showing no reaction.

“Turn this woman back into human form,” Shen Luo furrowed his brows and instructed the white star standing beside him.

“Yes,” The white star opened its mouth and spat out a white light that entered the starfish's body.

A burst of white light surfaced on the white starfish, and a few breaths later, it transformed back into human form.

However, Nu Chuan's eyes, nose, and corners of her mouth were all leaking black blood. Her once beautiful face was now contorted, filled with terror, and lifeless.

“Committed suicide by poison? No, looking at her, she doesn't seem to have done this herself. Could there be others nearby?” Shen Luo quickly looked around while spreading his divine sense to probe the surroundings, but he sensed nothing.

“Master, this woman didn't die because of poison, but due to a peculiar prohibition. I can feel a Yin Qi in her heart, you'll understand once you lift her clothes,” the voice of the Ghost General suddenly came from the Qiankun bag.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo waved his finger.

A red sword Qi swept across Nu Chuan's chest, splitting open her black robe to reveal a spider-shaped bloody mark on her skin over her heart.

“This is the Red Spider Blood Curse!” Shen Luo's pupils contracted.

He had read about this blood curse prohibition in the “Body Refining Secret Text”. As long as the curse caster activated the curse, they could kill the other party, regardless of the distance.

It appeared that someone had noticed Nu Chuan being captured and was afraid of secrets getting leaked, so they triggered the curse to silence her.

Shen Luo once again glanced around. By now, the sky had darkened and even with his exceptional vision, he couldn't see too far. He was uncertain whether there was someone secretly watching, or if they had used other means to notice the situation here.

However, his strength had significantly improved. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator made a move, he believed he had a reasonable chance of escaping, so he wasn't particularly afraid.

Shen Luo quickly turned his gaze back, and with a wave of his hand, a blue light swept over Nu Chuan's body and the surrounding ground, collecting three items that flew back to him.

A green ring, the black gold iron plate, and the black thin needle.

The green ring was Nu Chuan's storage magical tool. He deployed his divine sense for a scan and found multiple treasures inside, including nearly a thousand Immortal Jade pieces, and several common magical instruments and elixirs.

He already had plenty of high-quality magical tools, so these common ones were basically useless to him. However, the elixirs could still be useful.

Shen Luo took these items out and transferred them to the Linlang Ring. He then picked up the black gold iron plate. After scanning it with his divine sense and sensing it for a while, a smile crossed his lips.

This black gold iron plate held a seven-layered forbidden formation and was of decent quality, making it a good defensive tool.

Although it paled in comparison to the Golden Immortal Armor, he was currently in need of defensive tools. So, this black gold iron plate was just right.

He put it away, planning to refine it later, and finally picked up the last item, the black thin needle.

Although he had previously dodged this needle, its treacherous nature and lightning-fast speed left a deep impression on him.

Shen Luo once again activated the Ninety-Nine Wealth Technique to examine the grade of the needle, his eyes glittering with interest.

The black needle, though tiny and unremarkable, turned out to be a top-grade magical instrument, and it contained eight prohibitions.

Furthermore, the needle was layered with green, indicating the presence of potent poison.

With a secret joy, he kept the black needle in his sleeve and immediately started refining it using the Ninety-Nine Wealth Technique. At the same time, he burned Nu Chuan's corpse to ash with a Blaze Talisman.

“Immortal Envoy, are you alright?” asked the middle-aged General concerningly as he walked over.

When Nu Chuan had attempted to ambush Shen Luo before, the General was quick to react, retreating immediately to avoid getting involved in the combat.

“I'm fine. These demons are crafty; there may be more plots at play. Warn your soldiers to be careful,” Shen Luo advised the General.

“Understood.” The middle-aged General heaved a sigh of relief on seeing Shen Luo unharmed.

Against these ghosts, ordinary soldiers could only contribute a limited amount. They needed someone like Shen Luo, an Immortal Master at the fore. If something were to go wrong here, it would cause problems to their rear.

Luckily, Shen Luo's strength was astonishing. He single-handedly won an easy victory against three opponents.

Shen Luo consumed an Elixir to recover mana, replenishing the magical power he had expended during the intense battle. At the same time, he summoned the Ghost General.

The middle-aged General was shocked initially, but he relaxed after he saw the Ghost General respectfully saluting Shen Luo. He then eyed the Ghost General up and down with disbelief.

“Go check on Zhou Meng and Zhao TingSheng. If they're struggling, lend them a hand. We cannot allow these zombies to breach our lines,” instructed Shen Luo to the Ghost General.

“Yes, Master.” The Ghost General replied and vanished with a flicker.

Zhou Meng, Zhao TingSheng and the others were already aware of the Ghost General's existence from working together. Therefore, they would not mistake him for an enemy.

“I am Qin Ping. May I ask for the Immortal Master's name?” asked the middle-aged General. Amazed and deeply respectful of Shen Luo's undying techniques, he proceeded to ask in a polite manner.

“Shen Luo. General Qin, you're too kind.” Shen Luo nodded in acknowledgement to the middle-aged general, then prepared to fly away, to check the battle situation in other areas.

Just then, the sound of thunderous steps started approaching from the front, causing Shen Luo to pause. Following the sound, he looked ahead.

Many tall figures emerged from the darkness ahead. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be hordes of zombies, far outnumbering the attack waves they had faced before. Among them, there were several black zombies.

The ground started shaking, and the zombie horde rushed forward like a deafening storm.

“This isn't good. It seems like these ghosts are preparing for a full-scale attack,” Shen Luo's face changed in alarm, and he immediately crushed a red jade talisman in his hand.

This was given by He Wenzheng to be used in dire emergencies for calling for reinforcements.

“Brace for combat!” Upon seeing this scene, General Qin's expression changed dramatically. He turned and ran towards the distant battlefield, bellowing the order out loud.

After crushing the jade talisman in his hand, Shen Luo quickly conjured a vortex with his hand, opening a Spirit Communicating Water Hole. Simultaneously, he quickly said to White Star:

“You should return first. The upcoming battles will be real fights to the death. Your abilities are not well-suited for this.”

White Star obediently did not argue and leapt into the water hole. With a flash of white light, she disappeared.
