The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 971

Chapter 971: Chapter 968 Origins Chapter 971: Chapter 968 Origins Shen Luo furrowed his brows at the scene before him.

This was not the sea surface, after luring the golden-skinned man away with a stratagem, he had managed to bring him into the cave where the Mirror Fiend had set up the Liangyi Micro-dust Array. This space resembling a sea surface was actually an illusion created by the array.

Shen Luo, Bai Xiaotian, the Mirror Fiend and Yuan Qiu lay in hiding around the perimeter, attacking the golden-skinned man under the cover of the Great Formation.

He had originally thought that the four of them working together, assisted by the Liangyi Micro-dust Array, would easily capture this man. However, the golden-skinned man was indeed a late-stage Mahayana cultivator and, despite being at a disadvantage against four opponents, he did not show any signs of defeat.

“We can't go on like this, the people trapped in the melt cave won't take long to break free. We must capture Min Chuan as quickly as possible,” Shen Luo waved his hands and shot out two rays of light, one white and one gold.

The golden light flashed and reached the man instantly; it was the Slayer's Broken Sword, chopping down through the air.

The golden-skinned man seemed to have found a way to cope with the situation at hand. When the Magic Extinguishing Sword was still ten feet away, a golden cymbal spun towards it to meet the attack.

Unfortunately for the golden-skinned man, this time he had miscalculated as the approaching weapon was the Magic Extinguishing Sword.

With a “crack”, the golden cymbal was split in half, and the Slayer's Broken Sword continued down towards the golden-skinned man's shoulder.

Just as Monk Bao Shan had guessed, Shen Luo had gone through the trouble of using Lili'er to stir up the situation with the purpose of capturing Min Chuan to interrogate him, which is why he did not deliver a killing blow.

Greatly alarmed, the golden-skinned man immediately dodged to the side. Unfortunately, he could not fully evade the attack this time and his right arm was severed at the elbow, blood spraying out.

In that moment, with a “whoosh”, a white light flew towards him from above; it was a White Jade Bottle smashing down on his head.

The golden-skinned man didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, flashing to the side once again. At the same time, a Yellow Bronze Mirror appeared on his chest, emitting a bright yellow light that shot out and instantly thickened into a yellow Protective Cover, shielding his entire body.

When the White Jade Bottle made contact with the shield, it immediately exploded with a “bang”, and a cloud of purple poison fog emerged, enveloping the man along with the shield.

The intense purple poison immediately adhered to the protective shield, infiltrating rapidly towards the inside.

Not only that, but a silver bracelet rolled out of the bottle and clung to the yellow shield – it was the Linlang Ring.

The golden-skinned man was startled at the sight and continued to dodge away, but a silver glow enveloped arm suddenly appeared out of nowhere near the silver bracelet, pressing against the yellow Light Curtain.

Blue light burst forth from the palm, a freakishly cold power erupted, and a blue Iceberg tens of feet high appeared out of thin air, freezing the entire golden light shield inside.

The body of the golden-skinned man inside the shield was also eroded by the icy chill, which was exceptionally powerful. Even with his profound cultivation, his mana was instantly frozen, leaving his body rigid, unable to move.

The same hand continued to press against the shield as a golden light flashed in the palm, forming a shadow of a book which then flipped open with a whoosh.

The golden-skinned man along with the surrounding blue Iceberg vanished in a flash, taken up into the Heavenly Book Space.

The figure of Shen Luo then materialized, collecting the dispersed purple poison mist into the Heavenly Book Space and taking back the Linlang Ring to wear on his hand once more.

This strategy of hiding oneself within the Heavenly Book Space, then throwing the Linlang Ring close to the enemy before striking from within, was practically impossible to guard against. The only regret was that the Linlang Ring could not be manipulated like a magical instrument, otherwise it would have been perfect.

He soon stopped thinking about these matters, ceased the incantation, and halted the operation of the Liangyi Micro-dust Array; Bai Xiaotian, Yuan Qiu, and the Mirror Fiend's figures emerged.

Previously, Shen Luo hadn't restricted the Divine Sense of the three individuals with the Liangyi Micro-dust Array; they had watched everything, looking at Shen Luo with rather complex expressions.

A Late-stage Mahayana Cultivator, captured just like that?

“Those people outside will be here soon. You all hide in the golden space first. We'll talk after we've completely left this place,” Shen Luo said as he moved swiftly towards the three, ushering them into the Heavenly Book Space, and then he waved his sleeve.

A blue light shot out, collecting all the formation flags of the Liangyi Micro-dust Array from the ground and into the Linlang Ring.

With the Liangyi Micro-dust Array gone, the cave interior returned to its original state.

Shen Luo was about to cast Yimu Xuandun to leave when he suddenly stopped, as a figure appeared outside the cave, a Lady in Golden Skirt.

“It's you!”

Shen Luo's eyes widened slightly; he had seen her before. She was the same Lady in Golden Skirt who had conspired against him with the man surnamed Zhen and had subsequently disappeared into thin air from within the Liangyi Micro-dust Array.

“The Lili'er from before was an illusion created by you, right? And in Luo Star City, you spied on me outside One Medicine House. You found out then that we were heading to Daughter Village, so you impersonated me to kidnap Lili'er, diverting Daughter Village's attention towards me while you took the chance to sneak into the village–a truly cunning plot,” said Shen Luo, recognizing the woman before him as Lili'er, and piecing together some previously incomprehensible events.

“Hehe, Friend Shen indeed has a keen eye, seeing through my true form in an instant. I apologize for any previous offenses, but let's consider all those matters forgiven as we leave the Secret Realm together,” said the Lady in Golden Skirt with a charming smile.

“Naturally, I mention these things only to confirm. Since the issues between us are settled, Your Excellency, what brings you here?” Shen Luo asked calmly, his gaze lingering on the woman's fair, jade-like face.

“Friend Shen is truly impressive, and I greatly admire you. We have met several times, yet we never had the chance to become acquainted officially. Thus, I have come to introduce myself formally. I am Gold Glaze, and I wish to become friends with you,” the Lady in Golden Skirt said, giving a bow.

“I have no interest in idle chatter, Your Excellency. If you have something to say, then speak,” Shen Luo replied indifferently.

“People of Great Tang are known for their charisma, but why is Friend Shen so rude? This isn't the hospitality of a prestigious nation,” Gold Glaze said, her expression darkening slightly as she lightly touched her hair.

“If Your Excellency has nothing important, I shall take my leave,” Shen Luo said, as pursuers could arrive at any moment, not wishing to continue with the pointless talk, his body lighting up with green light.

“Wait, I'll speak,” Gold Glaze said, her attitude softening immediately upon seeing this, and she hurriedly spoke.

The green light on Shen Luo's body did not continue to intensify; he just looked at the woman.

“I've come to ask Friend Shen for a favor,” said Gold Glaze, taking a palm-sized fragment of Golden Glaze from her body.

Shen Luo looked at the fragment of colored glaze, his expression involuntarily shifting.

This fragment contained an extremely powerful spiritual nature, one that could be sensed from a great distance.

“With your insightful discernment, I'm sure you've already figured out the origins of my true form, haven't you?” Gold Glaze did not immediately make her request but brought up another matter.

“Your Excellency has a unique aura, not that of an ordinary spiritual being turned demon, and you carry a slight aura from the Upper Realm, light and ethereal. If I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency, you must come from the Heavenly Realm,” Shen Luo pondered for a moment before saying.
