The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 724

Chapter 724: Chapter 720: Demon Base Chapter 724: Chapter 720: Demon Base “Excellent, effortless.” A smirk crept onto Shen Luo's face, and his bones creaked slightly. Almost immediately, his appearance transformed into a round-faced young man.

His aura changed as well, so much so that even his closest acquaintances wouldn't recognize him as Shen Luo.

That Manager Ma ran at the sight of him, there must be a significant reason for this. Changing his appearance would be beneficial for capturing Manager Ma.

Having done this, Shen Luo turned into a blur and headed deep into the mountain range.

…

In a dimly-lit cave, Yin Qi swirled around, Sha Qi shot into the sky, and there was a pungent stench of blood that almost made one nauseous.

A black cloud shot into the cave and halted, revealing a tall figure. It was a bird-headed humanoid demon with black feathers and a golden beak. A black fog-like Demon Qi surrounded it, and its sharp eyes were icy and chilling.

As the black cloud around the Eagle Demon dissipated, a large heap of objects fell to the ground, making a series of thudding noises. They were all kinds of beasts – wolves, tigers, lions, leopards, and they were all motionless, apparently affected by some mesmerizing Demon technique.

“Why are there only a few of them?” A rugged voice came from deep within the cave.

“We've been here for over half a year, and the surrounding forests, thousands of miles around, have been searched many times. It took me a trip out to the ten-thousand-mile distance to find these many. If you think it's not enough, you can be the one to go hunting for blood meals next time. I don't want this crappy chore anymore,” the Eagle Demon grumbled.

The rugged voice paused, then said, “It's fine if there's less, hopefully the important guest doesn't mind.”

“Speaking of which, why are we not allowed to hunt the Human Race? Their essence blood is far superior to the blood of these assorted animals, and it's better suited for blood sacrifices. Besides, the humans are as numerous as ants. There're as many as we want.” The Eagle Demon questioned.

“It's the command from the big shot. What can I do?” The rugged voice sighed.

“Hmph! I heard that the big shot was once part of the Human Race. Maybe, she is being merciful to these ants. It's the compassion of a woman.” The Eagle Demon let out a cold laugh, showing some obvious discontent towards the big shot.

“Shut up! The big shot is right here. She is a favored servant under the great god Chiyou. Are you not afraid of death when talking behind her back?” The rugged voice warned in a panic.

For a slip of the tongue, the Eagle Demon immediately shut up, his eyes looking inwards warily. His body slightly tensing, it seemed he's ready to flee at any sign of trouble.

Luckily, time ticked without any incident. The Eagle Demon let out a sigh of relief.

“Alright, you can come in now. You've been frequently out recently and have missed a lot of training,” said the rugged voice.

Upon hearing this, the Eagle Demon's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked deeper into the cave.

…

Not long after Shen Luo entered the mountain, a large demon base emerged in front.

The demon base resided within a valley, surrounded by tall watchtowers. Various little demons stood on them, and many demon soldiers were patrolling and practicing various war formations near the base. There were at least tens of thousands of these demon soldiers. At the center of the base, there was a cluster of large houses.

Despite how elaborate the setup of the demon base seemed, the watchtowers and the houses in the middle were crude, suggesting that they weren't established for a long time. Oddly, there weren't any array barriers set up around it.

“This place seems more like a hastily built fortress than a demon base. Could it be that these demons are in a war with someone?” Upon seeing the situation, Shen Luo had this thought, then he immediately sneaked into the valley.

Although there were many demon soldiers near the demon base, Shen Luo's cultivation level was far superior to theirs. Narrow Moon Steps and Yimu Immortal Escape made it impossible for the demons to catch a glimpse of him.

Shen Luo easily passed through the layered defenses and quickly arrived next to the house at the center of the valley.

He didn't continue forward, instead, he found a hidden spot to hide, listening intently to any noise coming from inside the house, but no sound was heard.

“No one?” Shen Luo's brow furrowed.

This was impossible. He had just clearly seen the pitch-black cloud descend into this place.

After a moment of contemplation, he took the risk of extending his Divine Sense toward those houses for detection. In more than a dozen houses, only a few small demons with Soul Condensation Stage and Nascent Soul Stage cultivation were present. There were no Great Mahayana or True Immortal Stage demons.

That Old Ma was not here either.

Just as Shen Luo was about to sense more carefully, a conversation reached his ears.

“Brother, It's been some days since we came to Black Wolf Mountain. The Great King strictly ordered us not to go out. Every day is spent in training soldiers, which is incredibly dull.” Inside one of the houses, a Black Pig Demon complained to a Wolf-headed Demon next to him.

“Who can say otherwise? However, this is an order from the Great King, and we can only obey. I just hope these hellish days end soon,” the Wolf-headed Demon replied.

“Black Wolf Mountain? It seems this is the Southern Sub-Central Continent,” Shen Luo murmured, nodding slightly after hearing this.

He, Bai Xiaotian, and Chan'er had previously journeyed to the Black Chicken Kingdom, passing through many places. He had roughly understood the names of various places in the Western Regions through Bai Xiaotian, and Black Wolf Mountain was one of them.

“Staying in this desolate mountain is fine, but we can only eat coarse food every day, it's really suffocating. Brother, the Great King is always in retreat, and the Second King just returned and is likely to go into seclusion again, he won't come out for a short period. Shall we go to Tianyou Country and snatch some Human Race's blood meals?” the Pig-headed Demon whispered.

“Brother Pig, your skin may be thick and your meat may be hardy, you don't fear the torment of blood refining. But, I can't, I have to endure for a while longer,” the Wolf-headed Demon shook his head and answered.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo had no further doubts. Tianyou Country was one of the kingdoms in the Western Regions, and this place was in the Western Regions of the Southern Sub-Central Continent.

Moreover, according to the two demons, the leader of the demon base here was in retreat.

His Divine Sense immediately searched all around the houses and detected an anomaly under one of the houses.

Underneath this house was a black passage leading to the deep underground. The passage was pitch black, its end was not visible at all.

A faint black mist arose from the depths of the passage and came up, clearly, there was something significant underground. The two Great Kings should be here.

Shen Luo didn't continue to use his Divine Sense to explore further. He waved his hand, and a golden light flashed on his body, a Silver Heavenly Soldier emerged next to him.

“Go down and take a look.” Shen Luo applied a seal on the Heavenly Soldier to seal its Qi fluctuations. He also attached a wisp of Divine Sense onto the Heavenly Soldier's body and gave it a faint order.

The Silver Heavenly Soldier nodded its head, its body flashed and disappeared into the ground.

The Heavenly Soldier was a spiritual body, it traversed through the ground unimpeded and quickly entered the passage, diving towards its deep end.

The passage was extremely long, and it took quite a while for the Heavenly Soldier to reach the end.

The end of the passage was an enormous underground cave, nearly a thousand feet in size. Several gray-black stalactites rose within the cave which was quite rich in Spiritual Energy.

The most abundant thing here, however, was a Yin Sha Qi. The air was filled with a blood-red fog, all of which originated from the center of the cave.
