Chapter 660: Chapter 656: Old Friend Chapter 660: Chapter 656: Old Friend After leaving Chongxuan Hall, Shen Luo was in a hurry to meet with Lu Huaming at the government office, as he needed to discuss something with Cheng Yaojin in person.

After passing through two courtyards, Shen Luo suddenly heard the sound of fighting from ahead, which surprised him.

Who would dare to make trouble in such a place?

Just as he thought that it was someone contemplating Daoist law, he saw a figure being knocked out of the front yard, and was about to crash into the front of the yard behind.

He quickly raised his hand and waved, condensing a wave to rescue the person. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the person who had been knocked out was Gu Hualing.

“Bold evildoer, this is the office of the Great Tang Government, not a place where you can run wild.” At this moment, Lu Huaming's angry voice came from the front yard, and there was already a bit of anger in his voice.

Shen Luo frowned slightly, and just as he was about to go in and assist, he heard a somewhat familiar voice:

“Since when has the Great Tang Government become a shelter for monsters? You know what that demon woman has done, right? She's acting high and mighty here. Hurry up and get the hell out of here. Don't delay me in exterminating the demon.”

“That voice…” Shen Luo raised his eyebrows, his eyes shining slightly.

At this time, the sound of an on-going battle came from inside, evidently Lu Huaming had already gotten into it with that person.

Shen Luo quickly dashed inside, and saw two people suspended in mid-air, each casting spells, releasing two dazzling light groups that fiercely collided with each other.

His gaze swept over Lu Huaming and landed on the man opposite him. Dressed in a white robe he was tall and handsome, it was none other than Bai Xiaotian, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Shen Luo hesitated slightly, then flashed, landed exactly below the two, raised his hand and waved it skywards. A blue cloud of water vapor instantly surged upwards, crashing into the dazzling light groups.

With a loud “boom”!

The blue water vapor hit the two light groups, forcibly changing their direction and making them rush towards the sky, where they exploded with a loud sound, causing the entire government office to tremble.

The two people in the sky looked down at the same time and found that it was Shen Luo who had interrupted their duel, both were slightly surprised.

Then, Bai Xiaotian's figure suddenly plummeted from the sky and he excitedly circled around Shen Luo as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He came forward hesitantly and patted him on the shoulder.

“Shen Luo, it's really you!” His eyebrows relaxed instantly and he exclaimed in surprise.

“If it's not me, then who else could it be? Brother Bai, it has been a long time.” Shen Luo smiled and greeted him warmly.

“I got a letter from home saying that you had returned to your hometown, and then there was no news from you. I was worried that something had happened to you, I didn't expect you to have come to the capital. You are… just now… your cultivation level… you must've reached the Nascent Soul Stage, right?” Bai Xiaotian suddenly realized something and couldn't help gasping in surprise.

“Just the beginning of the Nascent Soul Stage, it's still less than your Nascent Soul middle-stage realm.” Shen Luo laughed.

“I have been at Hua Sheng Temple, every day there is spent tirelessly cultivating. Could it be that you have also joined some incredible sect, or met a hidden Immortal Master, that you've undergone such changes?” Bai Xiaotian fired off a series of questions.

Shen Luo just smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

Lu Huaming on the side looked dazed.

“Shen Luo, do you see who this is?” At this point, Bai Xiaotian's face darkened again, he lifted his hand, pointed at Shen Luo.

Shen Luo didn't have to turn around to know that Gu Hualing had returned.

Before he could speak, a strong wave of mana surged on Bai Xiaotian's body as if he was about to move forward again.

On the other side, Lu Huaming sensed something was wrong, his figure flashed, and he had already stood in front of Gu Hualing.

Shen Luo grabbed Bai Xiaotian's arm.

“Shen Luo, you…” Bai Xiaotian saw his movements and a trace of confusion crossed his eyes.

“Xiaotian, there are some things that I need to tell you about before you decide what to do next.” Shen Luo shook his head.

After that, he told Bai Xiaotian all about the Black Phoenix Demon and the mysterious organization.

“But even so, she cannot escape punishment.” After Bai Xiaotian quietly listened to this, he said.

“Of course, but now is not the time to kill her. If we want to find clues to the organization behind her, we must temporarily suppress the flames of revenge.” Shen Luo placed his hand on Bai Xiaotian's shoulder, whispering.

“Fine, since you've said this, I'll spare her for now.” Bai Xiaotian turned and glanced at Gu Hualing, remembering that she hadn't retaliated when he attacked her earlier, and heaved a sigh.

Seeing his murderous intent recede, Lu Huaming finally let out a sigh of relief and sent a message to Shen Luo, asking:

“What's the deal with your friend? Why does he want to fight as soon as he sees her?”

“He, like me, is one of the last members of Chun Qiu Sect.” Shen Luo replied.

Upon hearing this, Lu Huaming became slightly stiff, and then helplessly turned around, asking, “Are you okay?”

Gu Hualing bent her eyebrows and shook her head silently without saying anything.

“You guy, you've got to Chang'an City and you don't even come to Hua Sheng Temple to look for me. That's not fair!” Bai Xiaotian's face cleared up, he nudged Shen Luo with his elbow.

“I didn't get any rest on the way here and had no time to find you, and of course, I didn't want to disturb your cultivation either.” Shen Luo replied helplessly.

“Do you think someone as talented as me is afraid of being disturbed?” Bai Xiaotian smiled arrogantly.

Remembering how Bai Xiaotian had exploded and died in Dreamland, Shen Luo couldn't help but advise:

“You still need to change your temperament, and you must be more mindful about cultivation. Don't regret it when you fail to Cross Tribulation and only become a half-immortal.”

“You think highly of me, Crossing Tribulation? Half-immortal? Although I am a genius, I dare not brag about it… By the way, when did you become so arrogant? Based on your tone, a half-immortal is even beneath your notice?” Bai Xiaotian was stunned, and he laughed.

“I'm not joking with you. You must not slack off in your cultivation.” Shen Luo seriously adviced.

“You guy, don't know how much hardship I've endured in Hua Sheng Temple, that's why you dare to say that my cultivation has been slacking off… But look at you, you must have suffered quite a bit too, right?” Seeing Shen Luo's serious expression, Bai Xiaotian also stopped joking and spoke.

After that, they looked at each other and laughed heartily.

Shen Luo then called Lu Huaming over and introduced them to each other. The two could be considered as acquaintances in adversity.

After chatting for a while, Shen Luo learned that Bai Xiaotian had come to attend the Water and Land Dharma Assembly with two high monks from Hua Sheng Temple. He found it boring to follow his teachers, so he came here to wander around and ran into Gu Hualing and the others.

“Brother Bai, we have some matters to attend to. We are going to meet Duke Cheng, so we'll take our leave first.” After chatting for a while, Lu Huaming said, bowing his fist.

“We are all in Chang'an now, so we can catch up after you finish your business.” Shen Luo also spoke.

“Alright, you guys go ahead and do your thing, and I should also head to Chongxuan Hall.” Bai Xiaotian laughed and said.
