The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 955

Chapter 955: 952 Chapter 955: 952 “Damn it! These human cultivators dare to cause such chaos in my territory!” The Tear Demon burst into rage, flailing her arms as she summoned all the surging demon power within her.

The invisibility effect of the Invisibility Talisman was immediately shattered by the demon power, and vast swathes of blue mist swarmed out from her body, swiftly invading the inside of the white light curtain.

At the same time, the Tear Demon's eyes radiated a thick ink-like black light, and a string of black tear beads shot out from them, merging with the blue mist. The mist immediately turned into a dense blue-black color, swooping down towards the disciples of the Golden Yang Sect and the monks from Xuan Gui Island.

From the Tear Demon's casting to the blue-black mist swooping down, it all happened in less than two breaths' time.

Before the monks from the Golden Yang Sect and Xuan Gui Island could react, they were enveloped by the blue-black mist.

A chill enveloped the cultivators on both sides, their blood seeming to freeze, as waves of resentment energy assaulted their divine souls. Their expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly erected protective covers around themselves.

“It's the Tear Demon!” Both groups of cultivators quickly identified their attacker and summoned their Magical Treasures to counterattack.

“Prepare to die!” Although the Tear Demon was facing multiple opponents, the cultivators' cultivation levels were all lower, with not even one in the Late Nascent Soul Stage, so she did not fear them in the least. The cold mist around her billowed out, overwhelming the sky as it enveloped her adversaries.

…

Behind a large rock outside the cave, Shen Luo, disguised as a fish, lay in wait quietly.

“The Golden Yang Sect's people have indeed come here. Looking at the situation, they seem to be trying to break through that white light curtain. In my current state, maintaining the fish form is more of a hindrance; it's better to revert to my original appearance.” Shen Luo thought to himself and immediately discontinued the transformation, promptly reverting to human form.

After a brief contemplation, he raised his hand, and the Mirror Fiend's figure suddenly appeared beside him.

“Master, you summoned me. What do you wish to do?” The Mirror Fiend looked around with a surprised expression on his face but didn't ask further, simply giving Shen Luo a respectful bow.

Shen Luo took out a stack of formation flags and discs, which were the set of the Liangyi Micro-dust Array and a jade slip.

“Take these Array Tools and find a safe place nearby to set up the Array. The method for setting up the Array is recorded in this jade slip.” Shen Luo instructed.

During his time in Luo Star City, he had learned about the sects in the Luo Star Archipelago, and given his enmity with the Golden Yang Sect, he had investigated them thoroughly.

The Golden Yang Sect was quite powerful, with its Sect Master Min Chuan's cultivation level having reached the Late Mahayana Stage.

With Shen Luo's current strength, facing any Mahayana cultivator didn't faze him, but it was still best to be cautious.

“Understood, Master. Rest assured, I have previously slain a human cultivator and acquired an Array Techniques classic from them, which I have studied for some time. I have a fair understanding of Array Techniques.” The Mirror Fiend took the stack of formation flags and discs, made a reassuring gesture, and silently flew towards the outside.

Shen Luo watched the Mirror Fiend leave and then turned his gaze back to the Mirror Fiend's Stone House. He took out an Invisibility Talisman, activated it, and his figure vanished as he quietly slipped into the cave.

Inside the passageway of the stone house, the Golden-skinned Man and five others formed an Array, within which a grand and majestic Golden Light flowed. It emanated from Monk Bao Shan's body and returned to the Golden-skinned Man.

Monk Bao Shan's breath also suddenly dropped, his face paling considerably.

On the contrary, the Golden-skinned Man burst forth with golden light that was significantly more powerful than before. He formed a vast golden halo around him, radiating blinding golden light in all directions.

The cultivation aura of the Golden-skinned Man also surged, nearly reaching the True Immortal Realm.

The Golden-skinned Man showed a look of joy, then took out an object from his chest. It was a bronze short axe, covered in rust and tarnishes–entirely unremarkable at first glance.

Yet, he held it with great caution, as if the object was exceedingly dangerous.

The golden-skinned man stared at the short axe, muttering to himself. The bronze short axe flew out of his hand, floating up and bursting into a green glow that became brighter and brighter.

The rust on the short axe swiftly receded, turning exceptionally brilliant and luminous, as a savage aura rose from the blade.

Just at that moment, a chilling and powerful breath suddenly came from outside, mingled with shocked cries from the disciples of the Golden Sun Sect and the monks of Xuan Gui Island.

“A demon is attacking!” Monk Bao Shan, who had been closely watching the short axe in the golden-skinned man's hands, cried out in alarm at the noise outside and was about to take action immediately.

“Hold, Daoist friend Bao Shan! The Array has just started to take effect. At this time, no one can leave; otherwise, it will only lead to all of us being severely injured by the Array's backlash!” the golden-skinned man urgently stopped him.

Hearing this, Monk Bao Shan could only halt his movement, looking outside with concern.

The golden-skinned man, however, paid no more attention to the outside and instead focused on urging the bronze short axe.

Outside the passageway, Shen Luo sensed the breath inside the passageway and his expression shifted slightly. He was just about to rush in when a formidable Divine Sense spread from within, in no way inferior to his own.

He frowned and immediately stopped, exerting full force to activate the Invisibility Talisman, his hidden form becoming even more hazy.

Besides invisibility, the Invisibility Talisman also had a certain effect in blocking Divine Sense, but it could only work while he remained motionless. Once he moved, the effect would immediately be broken.

The Divine Sense inside the cave failed to detect Shen Luo and spread directly towards the fight within the cavern.

The Tear Demon also sensed the sudden surge of terrifying breath inside the passageway but did not get distracted, concentrating on urging the blue-black mist, prioritizing the elimination of these human cultivators.

Shen Luo watched the passageway, considering how to sneak in and see what was happening inside.

The Divine Sense that had just spread out was extraordinarily strong; he didn't dare to activate his Divine Sense to probe inside, as it would be discovered.

“Brother Shen, if you want to check the situation inside the passageway and are afraid of being noticed by the people inside, try my Gaze Moth Gu,” Yuan Qiu's voice rang in Shen Luo's mind.

“Gaze Moth Gu?” Shen Luo communicated back telepathically.

“This is a type of surveillance Gu insect that can transmit whatever it sees to the user's eyes. It's extremely tiny–about the same size as dust particles in the air, and difficult for Divine Sense to detect. Normally, I attach this Gu to you to observe the outside,” Yuan Qiu explained.

“I'm not a Gu Master. Can I see what the Closing Eye Gu sees?” Upon hearing this, Shen Luo marveled at the miraculous abilities of the Gu Master lineage and had a question.

“Brother Shen, you and I have a bond through a contract, allowing me to transmit the images to you via the power of the contract,” Yuan Qiu said with a smile.

“Then, please do so,” Shen Luo promptly replied.

A few breaths later, his eyes flickered with light, and a scene suddenly appeared showcasing the inside of the passageway.

“This golden-skinned man looks sixty to seventy percent similar to the White Fan Youth–it must be Min Chuan, the Sect Master of the Golden Sun Sect. This monk looks very much like Monk Bao Shan from Xuan Gui Island, and this Array on the ground is…” Shen Luo observed each of the six people inside the cave and his gaze fell on the Golden Array on the ground.

The Array looked somewhat similar to his Cloud Hanging Array.

The rust on the bronze short axe in the hands of the golden-skinned man had disappeared completely, emitting a blindingly bright green light that was aimed at the white light curtain in front.

Seeing this and having a grudge over the death of his son against the golden-skinned man, Shen Luo immediately thought to destroy the Golden Array and thwart the golden-skinned man's plan, but after a second thought, he stopped.

Although he could break the prohibition with the Slayer's Broken Sword, it would take some time. If the golden-skinned man could use the seemingly extremely powerful bronze short axe to break through or severely damage the white light curtain, it would save him a lot of trouble.
