The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 527

Chapter 527: Chapter 523: Temporary Transformation into a Corpse Chapter 527: Chapter 523: Temporary Transformation into a Corpse While Shen Luo was dealing with Red Hands Master, a strange gleam flashed in his eyes.

Chang'an City suffered heavily from the ghost issue, all the monks had entered the battlefield, including Dan Yangzi and Red Hands Master who were Alchemy Masters and Artifact Refiners.

Particularly, Red Hands Master recently shone brightly in the battlefield. Wielding a powerful fan of fire, he had achieved meritorious deeds by defeating ghosts that were equally or even superior in realm.

The fan held in his hand was acclaimed by everyone.

While others were unaware of the origin of the fan, Shen Luo was crystal clear. It was refined by him at the request of Chen Gang, who had planned to claim it after dealing with Shen Luo, unfortunately died in Yinling Mountain Tomb. Thus, the fan ended up in the hands of Red Hands Master.

According to the note, the Five Fire Fan was a top-grade magical artifact with sixteenth-level prohibition, possessing immense power. Though Shen Luo was not avaricious, he was quite heartened by this artifact.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside. It was a green robe Taoist Priest holding a purple feather duster, who was about forty, had a long horse-like face covered with freckles, and appeared rather ugly.

“Elder Brother Ge, you're here.” Dan Yangzi and Red Hands Master greeted the young green robe Taoist Priest almost at the same time.

“Brother Lu, who is this Taoist Priest?” Shen Luo telepathically questioned Lu Huaming.

“This is Ge Tianqing, an elder of the Bowu Line, possessing a body of Dark Thunder, a very rare Dao Body. His Lightning attribute Daoist method is quite renowned in Chang'an City.” Lu Huaming replied telepathically.

“Dark Thunder Body!” Shen Luo couldn't help but take a closer look at Ge Tianqing.

He was no longer the naive little monk who had just entered the Cultivation World. Having amassed a certain degree of knowledge, he knew that Dark Thunder Body was a special Dao Body. It was naturally suitable for the practice of lightning attribute skills, allowing the practitioner to surpass ordinary monks by more than ten times just with a little practice. It could also unleash a type of Dark Thunder, whose power far surpasses normal thunder and lightning, making it a formidable Dao Body.

“Ge Tianqing also has profound cultivation level, having reached the peak of Soul Condensation Stage. There are rumors that he is preparing to break through the Nascent Soul Stage. Once he succeeds, his status will surge immediately.” Lu Huaming telepathically added.

Having heard these words, Shen Luo nodded slowly.

In the Cultivation World, Qi Refining Cultivators are at the bottom, those at the Grain Avoidance Stage and Soul Condensation Stage can only be considered middle tier, but once reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, they are considered among the upper class.

A sect with a Nascent Soul Cultivator can truly establish itself in the Cultivation World.

If a Nascent Soul Cultivator is willing to join forces like the Treasure Hall, Xuanyuan Pavilion, or Great Tang Dynasty Government, they can certainly attain the position of honored elder, ensuring the resource supply for their cultivation.

After finishing his conversation with Shen Luo, Lu Huaming also greeted Ge Tianqing with a smile.

Ge Tianqing seemed to be a distant person, who just nodded slightly at the three of them, then didn't pay any more attention and stood by his own on the side.

Lu Huaming and the others seemed to understand Ge Tianqing's nature and did not mind it.

After pleasantries, the five of them each stood in a place, waiting quietly.

Dan Yangzi and Red Hands Master were together, Shen Luo and Lu Huaming were together, while the solitary Ge Tianqing stood far from the four.

“All of you have arrived.” A voice came from the depths of the stone chamber, as Cheng Yaojin and Yellow Wood Senior walked in from a side door.

Yellow Wood Senior looked a bit unwell, his withered old face showed pallor, and he would even cough lightly from time to time.

“We pay our respects to Duke Cheng and Senior Yellow Wood!” The five of them bowed one after another.

Both Shen Luo and Lu Huaming were not just respectful, but so were Dan Yangzi and Red Hands Master.

Although they were prominent figures, Cheng Yaojin was a senior court official, holding substantial authority over the Great Tang Dynasty Government. His cultivation level was extraordinary, making him the true powerhouse of the Cultivation World in Chang'an City. They dared not show the slightest disrespect.

“All of you here, except for my unworthy disciple here, are the talents of our Cultivation World in Chang'an City. There's no need for such formality.” Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, causing Lu Huaming below him to roll his eyes.

Before he could finish, Cheng Yaojin raised his hand and a yellow light flashed in his palm.

The stone chamber gate closed with a loud bang, sealing shut without the slightest gap.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly, except for Lu Huaming.

“Don't worry. The reason we called you all here is because the matter we're about to discuss is extremely important. According to reliable information, there are spies from the Refining Body Altar sneaking around in the city. Even the Great Tang Dynasty Government is not necessarily safe, we are just ensuring absolute security.” Yellow Wood Senior coughed twice and spoke.

The group relaxed after hearing these words.

“We wonder what important matter Duke Cheng and Elder Yellow Wood have called us here for?” Dan Yangzi and Red Hands Master exchanged glances, then asked.

“We've gathered you here to entrust you with an important mission,” Cheng Yaojin said in a deep voice.

The people present didn't seem surprised by Cheng Yaojin's statement, and simply waited patiently for him to continue.

“Master, before you proceed with the matter, I dare to interrupt. When I went to invite Brother Shen, he was heading to the Great Tang Dynasty Government with an important matter to report to you.” Lu Huaming coughed lightly and stepped forward to speak.

“Oh, what matter does Friend Shen have to report?” Cheng Yaojin raised his eyebrows when he saw Lu Huaming daring to interrupt him. However, after hearing Lu Huaming's full explanation, he showed a hint of a warm smile and asked Shen Luo.

“This matter pertains to the sudden appearance of zombies in the city. I beg Duke Cheng and Yellow Wood Senior's pardon for my impudence.” Shen Luo took two steps forward and spoke via Divine Sense.

“That's fine. Go ahead.” Cheng Yaojin nodded.

Shen Luo briefly paused to gather his thoughts, then recounted in detail the encounter with the Zombie Army that day, and how he discovered that the silver zombie was actually the dwarf coachman.

There was no surprise on the faces of Cheng Yaojin and Yellow Wood Senior after listening.

“Did the two elders already know about this?” Shen Luo mumbled in his heart and asked through Divine Sense.

“Although those zombies look no different from regular ones, they are not filled with strong corpse air at their core. Instead, they still retain a breath of a normal person. It's clear they turned into zombies temporarily. People with strong Divine Sense could easily detect it, we naturally sensed it way before.” Yellow Wood Senior replied through Divine Sense.

“So that's the case. I happened to discover this and thought it was a major secret. It turns out the elders had already seen through everything. I've made a fool of myself.” Shen Luo transmitted with a somewhat ashamed tone.

“Not at all, Friend Shen. It's quite rare for someone at your Soul Condensation Stage to notice such a thing.” Yellow Wood Senior reassured.

Shen Luo bowed to the two of them and fell silent, stepping back.

When the other four saw this, they realized that Shen Luo was communicating with Cheng Yaojin and Yellow Wood Senior through Divine Sense. They had the tact not to interrupt and just looked at Shen Luo, their eyes reflecting a slight change in their perception of him.

Especially Ge Tianqing, who seemed to start seriously examining Shen Luo because of Cheng Yaojin's favourable attitude towards him.
