The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 972

Chapter 972: Chapter 969 Cooperation Chapter 972: Chapter 969 Cooperation “Friend Shen indeed has perceptive eyes, and you guessed correctly, the little girl does indeed come from the Heavenly Realm. I am a fragment of a Glazed Spirit Item from the Upper Realm that has taken on a life of its own. Due to certain reasons, I ended up in the lower realm, and there are three other fragments with me: Blue Liuli, White Gauze, and Purple Liuli. It seems to me that Friend Shen often travels the world. I have been searching for them, but unfortunately, I have not yet found any. The favor I ask of you, Friend Shen, is quite simple: carry this Gold Glaze fragment with you, and when you travel around in the future, please be aware of this fragment's condition. It can sense the presence of the other three Liuli fragments. If you make any discoveries, the little girl will surely reward you handsomely.” Gold Glaze handed over the fragment she was holding and gave a bow once again.

“This matter does not seem complicated. If you're seeking help, there are countless others you could ask. Why seek me out?” After hearing this, Shen Luo looked at the Gold Glaze fragment in his hand and inquisitively asked.

His question was a probe; the woman before him had been intentionally or unintentionally getting in touch with him, and since she was from the Heavenly Court, could it be that she had seen some of the secrets he held?

“When seeking help, of course, one must search for a suitable assistant,” Gold Glaze chuckled, seemingly oblivious to Shen Luo's intentions.

“And why should I help you? Although we are not enemies, we are certainly not friends either,” Shen Luo asked directly, his probing having yielded no results.

“This Liuli fragment is transformed from my vital essence. If you soak it in a bowl of clear water, after three days and three nights, you will obtain a bowl of Glazed Golden Liquid, which is the main material for crafting the Golden Mirror Liuli Talisman,” Gold Glaze chuckled lightly.

As soon as Shen Luo heard this, his Divine Sense penetrated into the Linlang Ring and he investigated the jade slip for crafting the Golden Mirror Liuli Talisman. The main material listed there was indeed Glazed Golden Liquid, while the other auxiliary materials were not very rare and would not be difficult to gather.

“Since Young Master Gold has shown such sincerity, if I keep refusing, it would be quite unfriendly,” he glanced over the Gold Glaze fragment and agreed to the request.

“Then I thank you, Friend Shen,” Gold Glaze said, a smile appearing on her face.

“When I find a clue, how should I inform Your Excellency?” Shen Luo recollected something.

“This Liuli fragment is connected with my mind and spirit. You just need to write on it, and I will be able to sense it. The little girl has spent some time in the Heavenly Court and is quite knowledgeable. If you have other matters to consult me about, you can also use this method,” Gold Glaze explained.

Hearing this, Shen Luo's eyes brightened, and he nodded.

“Since Friend Shen is in a hurry to leave, then I will not bother you any further,” after finishing the discussion, Gold Glaze turned around to leave.

“Wait a moment. You transformed into Lili'er to sneak into Daughter Village, so where is the real Lili'er?” Shen Luo suddenly called out to Gold Glaze.

“Unexpectedly, Friend Shen has such a kind heart. After being detained by Daughter Village for several days, you're still concerned about their people at this point,” Gold Glaze looked at Shen Luo in surprise and chuckled.

Shen Luo didn't say anything but simply watched her.

“Don't worry, I was born in the Heavenly Court and am not one of those crazed killers from the Demon Clan. Lili'er has already been freed from her constraints and will soon return to Daughter Village,” Gold Glaze said.

Shen Luo nodded, then activated his Yimu Xuandun, blending into a flash of Green Light and vanished out of sight.

Just at that moment, the sound of rushing Escape Light came faintly from afar. Gold Glaze glanced in that direction, her body shining with bright Golden Light. A mirror image flickered within it, and her form disappeared without a trace.

At a certain place above the sea surface, a burst of Green Light suddenly appeared and then dispersed in all directions, forming a Green Array. Shen Luo's figure emerged from within it.

He glanced around and, without the slightest hesitation, summoned the Pure Yang Sword Embryo and darted away.

After flying for several hundred li, he finally stopped, once again submerged into the seabed, hiding in a concealed spot, and re-entered the Heavenly Book Space.

In a part of the Heavenly Book Space, a blue iceberg, standing about a dozen meters tall, quietly loomed. Surrounding the iceberg were rings of Golden Light that firmly trapped the iceberg and the Golden-skinned Man within it.

“`

Shen Luo's figure flashed into appearance, giving the man a glance before pressing his palm against the Ice Mountain.

The blue light flickered in his palm, and the gigantic Ice Mountain quickly shrank, becoming a cluster of blue ice flowers that melded into his palm within a few breaths.

The golden-skinned man revealed his true form, but his body was still restrained by several golden hoops of light, unable to move at all.

“What place is this? And who are you?” With the Ice Mountain gone, the man was now able to speak. After looking around, he demanded in a deep voice.

“Your Excellency, being the Sect Master of Golden Sun Sect, should be a wise man. Surely you cannot fail to see the situation clearly. There is no place for you to speak here,” Shen Luo replied with a cold smile.

“It was you who killed my son, wasn't it? You dare to kill the Young Master of Golden Sun Sect, and now you have captured me. Your courage is indeed great. Although my sect is not large, we have the backing of a major power from Eastern Victorious Divine Continent. I have already notified them to come here. I advise you, if you are wise, release me quickly. Otherwise, you will be hunted to death by an overwhelming force you have never understood!” The golden-skinned man's expression stiffened, but he soon sneered again.

“It seems that you really won't cry until you see the coffin. In that case, I have nothing more to say to you. I will directly communicate with your divine soul,” Shen Luo said, tired of wasting words. His eyes emitted a strong green light as he activated the Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil in an attempt to control the golden-skinned man's divine soul.

“You…” The golden-skinned man cried out in shock and anger, but his expression quickly grew muddled, though he did not completely give in and struggled desperately. The Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil unexpectedly failed to control him.

Shen Luo's brows furrowed slightly, and while he continued to exert the Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil at full strength, he simultaneously took out an item–the Liangyi Micro Dust Talisman–to enhance the Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil's power with the illusionary force enclosed within.

But the golden-skinned man, being a Late Mahayana Stage monk, had an incredibly strong divine soul. Even with the help of the Liangyi Micro Dust Talisman, Shen Luo was still unable to take full control over his divine soul.

He tried several times to forcefully take control, but each time he was just a bit short.

“Although the Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil is mysterious, unfortunately, with my cultivation only at the Late Nascent Soul Stage, the power of my divine soul is too weak to bring out its full potential,” Shen Luo sighed inwardly, sweat beads forming on his forehead.

The Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil was quite manconsuming, and using it for such a long time was also a great drain on him.

He did not continue to force it, but snapped his fingers.

A sword Qi shot out from his hand and, with a “puff”, pierced through the golden-skinned man's lower abdomen and Dantian.

The man instantly lost his qi and cultivation, collapsing to the ground.

Not just that, with a flicker of golden light by Shen Luo's side, Yuan Qiu's figure emerged.

Yuan Qiu glanced at Shen Luo and the golden-skinned man, then promptly waved a hand.

Seven or eight pink butterflies shot forth, circling and dancing around the golden-skinned man, their wings fluttering rapidly.

Pink scales drifted down, enveloping the golden-skinned man's body, burrowing into him through his nostrils and mouth.

The tightly wound power of the golden-skinned man's divine soul in his mind suddenly became disordered. His mana was completely lost, and his resistance to Shen Luo's Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil slackened.

Shen Luo quickly seized the opportunity, grasping the other man's divine soul and injecting the illusionary power of the Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil into it.

The golden-skinned man's face twitched a few times, and soon became completely empty.
