The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 734

Chapter 734: Chapter 730: Fox Hunting Chapter 734: Chapter 730: Fox Hunting “Brother Shen, don't be too polite. Have some food and rest early. The night is filled with the cries of ghosts and wolves outside. You might not be able to sleep.” Wang Qiu reminded Shen Luo after he accepted.

“Okay.”

Shen Luo responded straightforwardly, and his stomach growled in sync.

He took a pair of dark chopsticks from someone next to him with a sheepish smile, picked up a chunk of meat from the pot and brought it to his mouth. As he was about to bite, a cry from a wild beast was suddenly heard from outside.

Then, a chaotic noise came from outside the courtyard. Wang Qiu's expression changed slightly as he turned to look outside the door.

“Huh….”

A violent wind suddenly swept in, blowing the door open with a “crash” sound, and sparked a flurry of bonfire embers inside the house.

“What…what's going on?” Shen Luo covered the chunk of black meat, carefully put it in his sleeve, and then pretended to chew a few times. He asked in a panic.

The outside was completely dark, the empty yard was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Wang Qiu withdrew his gaze, seeing Shen Luo swallow as if he were eating, a smile appeared on his face, and he said,

“It's okay, the wind is always strong at night.”

Shen Luo tried to suppress a cough, pounded on his chest a few times, and gave him an embarrassed smile.

“Brother Shen, eat slowly.” Wang Qiu said.

“That's enough, how could I be so greedy.” Shen Luo motioned for him to stop, saying.

Seeing this, Wang Qiu did not insist.

The middle-aged man trudged up, cursing, and closed the door again.

Just as the door was about to close, Shen Luo suddenly saw a green light on the ridge of the roof in the courtyard, as if the light was emanating from the eyes of some wild creature.

However, he didn't say a word. He just wrapped his clothes tightly around him, leaned back a bit, and began to take a short nap.

At night, the sound of tiles churning came. Shen Luo subconsciously wanted to open his eyes but forcibly held himself back, pretending to be oblivious. As the sound grew louder and more intense, he pretended to wake up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that those who were sitting by the fire before were now standing straight with their backs to him, while Wang Qiu and the middle-aged man were standing off to the side.

“Brother Shen, you awake?” Wang Qiu asked with a smile.

“What happened?” Shen Luo asked, puzzled.

“Nothing much, some animals have just gotten a bit braver, and dared to venture into the courtyard tonight.” Wang Qiu explained.

The middle-aged man glanced back irritably and said, “What's going on? Is there something wrong with your Gu insect? Why hasn't there been any change?”

“We underestimated Brother Shen. He didn't eat the insect meat at all, right?” Wang Qiu turned to Shen Luo and asked.

Hearing that, Shen Luo stopped pretending, got up, and shook out the black chunk of meat onto the ground.

“It's not that I don't want to eat, but the appearance of the meat you prepared is so unappetizing. It's hard to swallow just looking at it.” Shen Luo spread his hands in resignation.

“In these troubled times, a real refugee wouldn't care about the taste of meat and just eat to survive. Brother Shen can afford to be picky, you must be a cultivator who has already achieved Grain Avoidance. I wonder what your cultivation level is?” Wang Qiu gave an awkward laugh and asked.

“Daoist Wang Qiu can see for himself. Whatever you think my level is, that's what it is. But before that, I would like to ask, what are you trying to do with these zombies and the formation laid out in the yard?” Shen Luo responded dismissively.

Hearing that Shen Luo had figured out their plan, Wang Qiu was slightly taken aback. He was about to reply when suddenly a gust of wind rose outside and the close door was blown open again.

In the ruins outside, a silhouette seemed to be walking through the ruins of the courtyard in the hazy light, coming in their direction.

Shen Luo narrowed his eyes to look, and found it to be a white-haired old man in brocade robes, holding a purple fir walking stick. Even though his hair and beard were white, his face showed no signs of age, and his skin was fair and rosy, giving him a youthful appearance.

“Hehe, indeed his own daughter. The old fogy came personally.” The middle-aged man smirked.

Wang Qiu glanced towards the courtyard, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a hint of hesitation flickering in his eyes.

At this moment, behind the white-haired old man, dozens of pairs of eyes glowing in green light lit up one after another, totalling over a hundred pairs.

“Brother Shen, now that things have gotten to this point, it's no longer a secret. We came here solely to hunt the Fox Demon and get her demon pellet to refine an immortal pill. We are all from the Human Race, and in this situation, we should put aside old grudges and work together. After the matter, you will certainly be rewarded. What do you think?” Wang Qiu suggested with a focused look on his face.

“In the face of adverse circumstances, you choose to seek allies. Daoist Wang Qiu is indeed good at judging the situation.” Shen Luo remarked ambiguously.

Having said that, he took a few steps back and sat down on the lacquer wooden box placed against the wall.

Seeing this, Wang Qiu's eyes narrowed, and a fleeting killing intent was seen in his eyes, but it was replaced by a smile. He said sincerely: “Then let's take a step back. As long as Brother Shen doesn't interfere, we will offer you generous gifts after the matter.”

It was evident that he attached great importance to the “thing” in the box.

Shen Luo raised his hand and gestured to indicate “as you wish”, without explicitly expressing agreement or disagreement.

“It's here.” At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been staring outside suddenly called out.

Shen Luo also looked towards the courtyard. He saw the white-haired old man step into the yard. The eyes of a stone lion buried under a broken wall gleamed with a golden light. A formation pattern emerged on a horse tethering post standing next to the wall.

Then, a stone tablet inscribed with the words “Solid Step Self-seal” and a piece of dull black old wood buried in the ground also lit up with a formation pattern. The golden light flowing from the eyes of the stone lion fell on the stone tablet, the old wood, and the tethering post, from each of which refracted golden light, forming a golden net in the courtyard.

The white-haired old man stood in the middle of the golden net, trapped by an invisible force, and his figure became somewhat blurred and distorted, making him difficult to see clearly.

Watching the refracted and twisted light, Shen Luo thought to himself whether he could break the formation, which would give him an estimate of the level of the formation and the strength of the two men before his eyes.

When he first arrived at the outskirts of Jilei Mountain, he had noticed the formation here from mid air. Therefore, he had come directly here to investigate. However, to hide his identity, he sealed all his breath and divine sense power, which prevented Wang Qiu from figuring out his strength.

Judging from the aura the two of them were emanating now, they appeared to be at the middle stage of Mahayana. Therefore, Shen Luo was not in a hurry to make a move, and chose to observe the situation.
