The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 533

Chapter 533: Chapter 529: Infiltration Chapter 533: Chapter 529: Infiltration Shen Luo and his companions followed Feng Shui, traversing through the gallery and the courtyard, finally arriving at a garden situated at the southwest corner of the mansion's backyard.

Before entering the garden, Shen Luo noticed that there were seven or eight ferocious-looking ghosts, guarding the entrance to the garden, swaying from side to side, as if they were water hyacinths floating in the water.

Above the entrance hung a plaque, on which the words “Reincarnation” were written in black lacquer.

As soon as he walked through the entrance, Shen Luo immediately saw mounds of grave soil piled on the ground, with rotting bones scattered about. Some of them had been trampled and shattered, turned into bone dust.

He made a rough estimate and found that there were about seven or eight piles of bones, which should all belong to the ancestors of the Zhang family.

“They built this Yin residence to seek for good public luck, but they ended up exposing the corpses to the elements and their bones were hard to be intact. It really was a loss.” Shen Luo thought, as he was under the control of Yu Lu, and had already arrived at the center of the garden.

In the central area of the garden, a large pit of several feet wide had been dug out. Inside it, human heads were used as the base to set up seven dharma platforms that formed the array pivot, creating the pattern of the Big Dipper.

As the proverb goes, “the Southern Dipper rules over birth, the Northern Dipper rules over death”. The Refining Body Altar was built here in Nanming's Hidden Yin, and the Northern Dipper's death formation was set, indeed, this was the center of the core formation.

Shen Luo cast a glance around, and his pupils constricted slightly.

Outside the pit in front of him, a layer of pale yellow light curtain was enveloping it, which seemed to be some kind of boundary prohibition. Within this boundary, four people were sitting cross-legged.

The man in the lead was a thin, middle-aged man in a black robe. His cheekbones were prominent, his eyes sunken, and his nose hooked, giving him the appearance of a hawk.

Opposite him, through the array, sat a small child, a white-haired old woman, and a sturdy teenager.

The small child was extremely ugly, with his facial features almost squeezed together. His lips were unable to close, revealing his dark red gums and a row of sharp teeth that looked savage.

The white-haired old woman appeared kind, but a segment of a baby's bony and pale hand hung before her chest, its knuckles intact, emitting a bright light, seemingly a magical instrument.

The robust teenager kept his eyes closed, showing no expression on his bland face, and seemed indifferent to external changes.

“Elder Xuanxiao, I'm back,” Yu Lu took the initiative to step forward and greeted with a fist and palm salute.

The middle-aged man in the black robe inside the boundary light curtain lifted his head upon hearing this and glanced towards them. His gaze swept over Shen Luo and the others, he simply nodded without speaking.

“Yu Lu, you've been away for so long, and this is all you've brought back?” The ugly child with sharp teeth broke into a grin and spoke.

“Desperate times call for desperate measures, there wasn't much to choose from.” Yu Lu glanced at him and replied somewhat displeased.

“Now that Yu Lu is back, we can finally get started.” The white-haired old woman said with a smile.

Upon hearing her words, the robust teenager who had been silent, slowly opened his eyes.

Shen Luo was slightly surprised upon hearing this. What were these people preparing to do? He had not heard anything about it from Yu Lu.

A series of changes occurred one after the other, raising several questions in his mind. He was prepared to use the control breaking method that Lu Huaming had given him at any moment.

“Madam Miao, what do you mean 'we can start'? What are we about to do?” asked Yu Lu, puzzled.

“I didn't mention it to you earlier. In a while, we are going to jointly activate the Seven Lamps Soul Attraction Array and summon the biggest Ghost King from the Yinling Mountain Tomb. We need you and Feng Shui to guard the formation from the outside,” the white-haired old woman said.

“I see, leave it to me,” Yu Lu saluted with his fists.

“This time, the Great Tang Dynasty Government suddenly attacked, coming fiercely. There's a clear sign that they're preparing for a decisive battle, we should not take it lightly. Let's do it this way… Lu Qing, you should also stay outside with these two, and let us handle the activation of the summoning formation,” The black-robed man named Xuanxiao suddenly spoke.

The robust teenager nodded his head, stood up from where he was seated, walked to the edge of the light curtain, and stopped.

Xuanxiao turned his wrist, a black jade seal appeared in his palm. He lightly pressed his thumb on it, the surface of the jade seal immediately lit up, and a man-height opening appeared in the light curtain in front of Lu Qing.

Lu Qing bent his body slightly, passed through the opening, and jumped out of the pit. He walked silently to one side, sat down in a cross-legged position, and the opening in the light curtain immediately closed.

Feng Shui, hesitated for a moment, then proceeded to sit down cross-legged on the opposite side.

Yu Lu shook the copper bell in his hand and walked towards the opposite side with Shen Luo and the others following him like walking corpses.

When they reached the other side, Yu Lu also sat down like the others did before and began to communicate with Shen Luo and the others through his heart:

“Are we going to do it now?”

“Originally, it was said that there will be one Nascent Soul, accompanied by three at the Soul Condensation stage. Now, an extra practitioner of the Grain Avoidance Stage has been added. This seems to be troublesome,” the voice of Dan Yangzi rang out, seemingly worried.

“Elder Brother Ge, do you have any method to restrain the Nascent Soul cultivators for a while? This will allow us to handle the others first, then assist you in killing him,” Lu Huaming's voice rang out.

“If that Xuanxiao is an early stage cultivator, I may be able to entangle him for a while, but if he is in the middle or late stage, even if we join forces, we will not be his match,” Ge Tianqing responded.

“This is my first time meeting this person. I have never seen him in action and can't judge precisely whether he is in the early stage or the middle stage,” Yu Lu's voice chimed in.

“Then we'll have to take a gamble,” said Red Hands Master.

“Before that, shouldn't we discuss how to break through this boundary prohibition?” At this point, Shen Luo posed a question.

“You don't need to worry about this. I've got it covered. I just need you guys to buy me some time,” Yu Lu replied.

“The timing is not right for us to make a move just yet. It is better to wait until they start operating the array, during the crucial period of the summoning. Then we can all strike at once, disrupting their operation. The people inside the array won't be able to get away, and the two cultivators outside the array would be like fish on the chopping block. We can divide our forces into two groups, one to quickly kill these two, and another to break into the array,” Lu Huaming, after a moment of silence, continued.

“That's right, Lu Daoist's analysis is spot on,” Dan Yangzi concurred.

“Then, how do we divide the teams? If possible, I would like to be in the group that breaks the barrier. I'll take care of the Blood Child,” asked Red Hands Master.

“We can do that. In my opinion, Elder Brother Ge, Red Hands Master, and Yu Lu should form a team and take responsibility for breaking the barrier. The remaining three of us will form another team. Dan Yangzi will kill the practitioner in the Grain Avoidance stage, and Shen Luo and I will take care of Lu Qing. What do you all think?” proposed Lu Huaming.

“Isn't it a waste to have me kill a Grain Avoidance stage practitioner?” Dan Yangzi joked with a hint of a smile.
