The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 735

Chapter 735: 731 Chapter 735: 731 “Audacious renegade, you have been slaughtering my fox offspring in my Jilei Mountain realm for several days, and even dared to kidnap my young daughter. If you let her go unharmed now, I might spare your lives. If not, I will make you wish you were dead.” The old man trapped in the formation kept a calm demeanor, speaking in a loud voice.

“Elder Fox King, we have already captured her. It is impossible to simply let her go. If you want your daughter back, first break this Golden Net Array.” Wang Qiu shouted with a smile.

“The Fox King? Could it be the Ten Thousand Years Fox King of Jilei Mountain?” Shen Luo muttered, feeling confused.

“Seeking death.”

The white-haired old man in the brocade robe burst into a violent cry. Raising his purple fir walking stick, he pointed it fiercely at the void. The purple polygon stone set at the top of the stick emitted dazzling beams of crystal light, radiating in all directions.

Shen Luo slightly squinted his eyes, feeling the dazzling purple light almost piercing his eyes.

Wang Qiu and the middle-aged man were taken aback and turned their heads away, not daring to look directly.

Sharp sounds echoed in the courtyard. The crystalline rays were like sharp swords slicing through the very fabric of reality, shredding the void apart. The Golden Net Array was unable to block these extremely sharp rays, and was broken apart by them.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Items used for formations in the courtyard such as the tethering post and the stone lions exploded one after the other, bursting into countless fragments.

The white-haired man in the brocade robe, who had been standing in the courtyard, suddenly turned into a series of afterimages, arrived in the room through a quick dash, and was almost upon Wang Qiu.

The latter was shocked and quickly backed off, pulling his hands through the air. The four zombies instantly moved like marionettes, blocking in front of him.

The middle-aged man was also scared stiff and ended up sitting on the ground.

They never imagined that the Golden Net Array, which should be capable of easily trapping a True Immortal Cultivator, would fail to hold the Ten Thousand Years Fox King for even a moment. This rendered their mission given by the Cloudstepping Beast completely unachievable.

The elder in the brocade robe briefly paused his momentum, and scanned several people. His gaze fell on Shen Luo, and he asked:

“Are you also an accomplice?”

“Elder, you misunderstand. I just happened to pass by and watch the excitement. The person you're looking for is right here. I helped to look after her for a bit.” Shen Luo patted the wooden box beneath him and said.

As he spoke, he hopped off the wooden box.

“This box is sealed with the prohibition that my king has bestowed. Without the method to release the seal, you can't let that little fox loose.” Wang Qiu saw Shen Luo's action with hatred, and spoke out.

“There is some trick to your prohibition seal, but this box doesn't look like a heavenly treasure, so it shouldn't be hard to break it with brute force.” Shen Luo said.

“If you want to break the prohibition by force, you can try. But when the prohibition seal explodes, whether or not the little fox will survive is hard to say.” Wang Qiu sneered.

The Ten Thousand Years Fox King frowned at this, clearly at a loss as to how to respond.

All he did was raise a hand, a bale of ghostly purple flames immediately lit up on his fingertips, flickering slightly but emitting no heat.

“Purple Ghost Bone Fire, it doesn't burn flesh, nor souls. It only refines bones. Have you heard of it?” The Ten Thousand Years Fox King smirked, looking at Wang Qiu.

Upon hearing that, Wang Qiu couldn't help but shudder.

Shen Luo's eyelashes trembled slightly in agitation. The Purple Ghost Bone Fire was akin to the Samadhi True Fire and Red Lotus Karmic Fire and was an extraordinary fire of Heaven and Earth. Its properties were especially unique – it would not burn the human flesh and souls. Instead, it would incinerate bones to the point where a person's skeletal system would crush to a fine powder, leaving the flesh unharmed but rendering it as weak as a pile of mud, leaving them in a state worse than death.

“I will give you three breaths time, immediately lift the prohibition, or you will taste the power of the Purple Ghost Bone Fire,” the Ten Thousand Years Fox King coldly uttered.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo found it somewhat strange and inspected the robed elder once again.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiu clearly harbored some fear, a hint of hesitation flashed within his eyes.

However, seeing the Fox King about to throw the Purple Ghost Bone Fire his way, his face immediately changed and he quickly interjected, “Don't be hasty, Fox King, I will lift the prohibition now… it's just this seal is uncommon and it will take some time to remove, I hope you can wait patiently for a moment.”

Just as the Ten Thousand Year Fox King was about to respond, Shen Luo intervened, “Don't believe him, he is just stalling for time.”

“You…” Having been exposed, Wang Qiu was instantly infuriated.

However, before he could finish his words, a cold purple fire had already flown inches away from him.

Wang Qiu immediately silenced, swiftly walked over to the wooden box, formed a Dharma seal with both hands, and shot a ray of mana from his fingertips at the prohibition seal on the box.

A faint golden light illuminated from the talisman affixed to the lid of the box, a series of long charm patterns emerged as chains from the box, interlocking as they wrapped around the box for tens of rounds, reminiscent of actual chains.

Wang Qiu furrowed his eyebrows, murmured the word 'to remove', and the charm-patterned chains on the box quickly began to recede, disappearing line by line.

When only a third of the charm patterns were left, a roaring noise echoed throughout the courtyard.

A tall figure, featuring a winged back and a dog's head with a human body, descended from the sky, forcefully landing outside the ruins of the front courtyard. The aftershock of its landing stirred up a whirlwind that swept across the courtyard and the interior of the house.

The figure of the Ten Thousand Year Fox King, who had been standing within the house, dissipated like smoke when hit by this sudden gust.

Horrified by what he saw, Wang Qiu instantly wanted to cease his effort.

However, Shen Luo had already flashed behind him, pressing his shoulder to infuse his meridians with a dominant form of mana.

Without getting a chance to withdraw his hands, Wang Qiu shot mana inadvertent from his fingertips due to Shen Luo. This accelerated the unlocking process, dissipating the remaining third of the prohibition seal on the box in an instant.

With the lifting of the prohibition seal on the box, a loud thud echoed from within.

“Bang!”

The wooden box spontaneously cracked, and three white fox tails shot out from within, aiming straight for Wang Qiu and Shen Luo.

Shen Luo let go of Wang Qiu's shoulder, calmly dodging the attack while taking a glance at the direction of the tails.

From amidst the shattered pieces of wood, a young girl with a pale face stood up. She was wearing a short white skirt, exposing large swathes of her fair skin. Three huge and robust fox tails were upright behind her.

The girl gritted her teeth, her face exuding a ferocious aura. However, the pair of sharp teeth protruding slightly from her lips, and the innocent yet wild beauty emitting from her body made her an unforgettable sight.

“I just saved you, don't bite the hand that feeds you.” Shen Luo flashed to the side, stating somewhat helplessly.

The young girl could not take in any of his words. She leaned against the wall, eyes filled with wariness and anger as she glared at everyone present.
