The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 999

Chapter 999: Chapter 996: Icebreaker Chapter 999: Chapter 996: Icebreaker “Town Primordial Great Immortal, what exactly is going on?” Nie Caizhu was also among the crowd. She had thought that Shen Luo had failed to escape and was preparing to submit to punishment with him, but the current turn of events had taken her by surprise as well.

“When the Heart-testing Mirror was used to test the heart earlier, I noticed interference fluctuations on the mirror. Worried that Shen Luo had some secret divine soul technique, I knocked him unconscious with a palm strike and probed his divine soul. To my surprise, I discovered that his divine soul was under the protection bestowed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. I was puzzled; could someone who has the trust of both Pagoda Heavenly King and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva truly be a traitor?” Zhenyuanzi glanced at everyone and said.

“Just because of that?” The Buddhist Arhat clearly could not be convinced by this reason.

“Of course not. However, under the circumstances at the time, whatever I said, nobody would have believed me. Therefore, I suggested that I put on a play with Town Primordial Great Immortal to lure him into exposing himself, thereby clearing the accusation,” Shen Luo continued.

Everyone turned their gaze toward Zhenyuanzi, seeking confirmation from him.

Town Primordial Great Immortal said nothing more but pointed lightly at his forehead, as if pulling out something, and with a tug, a beam of golden light followed his fingertip and flew out.

Afterward, that golden light unfurled in the void, displaying scenes from Shen Luo's earlier conversation with Yellow Eyebrow in the Valley, just as seen through Zhenyuanzi's perspective, revealing it all to everyone present.

After seeing the events, everyone finally understood that the traitor who had been hiding among them was not Shen Luo but Yellow Eyebrow.

“Amitabha, Yellow Eyebrow, it is such a shame that Maitreya Buddha trusted you so much and passed the mantle on to you. Your actions are a disgrace to the Buddhist Sect and tarnish the Buddha Dharma,” the Buddhist Arhat said with his hands pressed together before chastising.

Yellow Eyebrow, who was restrained, remained silent but stared fixedly at Shen Luo, filled with relentless resentment.

He had never anticipated that he would trip up here.

The Bull Demon King's eyes were red with fury as he strode forward, raised his hand to summon the Mixed Iron Staff in his palm, and radiating ferocity, he lifted the staff to smash it down on Yellow Eyebrow's head.

“Brother Niu, don't rush to strike. He also has the Heavenly Book on him; we need to retrieve it first,” Shen Luo hastily advised.

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King stiffened, shaking uncontrollably as he struggled to suppress his killing intent and slowly lowered the Mixed Iron Staff.

“This guy is much too cunning. I originally planned to trick him into handing over the Heavenly Book before dealing with him, but he was so consumed by greed that he had no intention of cooperating with me. Instead, he planned to kill me to take my Heavenly Book,” Shen Luo sighed and said helplessly.

Everyone looked at Shen Luo, their expressions varied, and for a moment, they did not know what to say.

“Given the circumstances, it's inevitable for everyone to harbor doubts. Now that my suspicion has been cleared, there's no need for anyone to take it to heart,” Shen Luo said, taking the initiative to speak.

After listening, the Bull Demon King looked up at the sky and walked heavily to Shen Luo's side, saying, “I misunderstood the situation the most and made the biggest mistake; I owe you an apology…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he actually bowed deeply to Shen Luo.

“There's no need for that. Before coming here, I was worried that you might not hold up. In fact, it wasn't until I saw the rage within you could still erupt that I felt relieved,” Shen Luo quickly helped him up and responded.

“I won't fall until my great revenge is complete,” the Bull Demon King said with a determined gaze.

“I've been to Wuzhuang View… and I didn't let their bodies be exposed to the wilderness,” said Shen Luo.

“That's good,” the Bull Demon King nodded.

“What should we do with this guy?” Yang Jian then looked towards Yellow Eyebrow and asked.

“Yellow Eyebrow Venerable Master, at this moment, do you still refuse to turn back from your misguided ways? You should know that the sea of suffering is boundless; turning back is the shore,” the Buddhist Arhat sighed and advised.

“Morona, of all the golden-body Luohans, you have the least wisdom yet you survived that great battle. How ironic,” Yellow Eyebrow said to the Luohan with a laugh.

“Although you have wisdom, you have sown it in evil soil, and in the end, you can only reap evil fruits,” Morona shook his head continuously.

“You should not entertain ideas of any kind of forceful interrogation. I'm very fragile, and if I'm not careful, I might take the Heavenly Book with me in destruction, and then all your plans of resistance will come to nothing,” Yellow Eyrow said, turning to address everyone without paying any further attention to him.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the chains on his body suddenly sparked with electricity, crackling loudly, instantly paralyzing him and causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

“Take him back first,” Zhenyuanzi said as he swept his large sleeve, engulfing him within.

Everyone immediately followed him back to the Underworld.

Nie Caizhu walked at the rear and came beside Shen Luo, staring at him intently, with a trace of grievance and reproach in her eyes.

“I simply couldn't inform you beforehand… Honestly, I never expected you would come to rescue me,” Shen Luo said as he took her hand, sounding somewhat helpless.

“Forget it, just knowing that you are not a traitor is already very good. Earlier I had wondered how I was able to pry open Yellow Eyebrow's Golden Cymbal so easily. Now I understand, he deliberately let you get away,” Nie Caizhu mused and then smiled.

“It wasn't just him, Town Primordial Great Immortal's Dragon-binding Circle didn't really try on me either. Otherwise, how could I even think about mobilizing mana? It was pure delusion. Just look at the treatment Yellow Eyebrow is receiving now, and you'll see,” Shen Luo said, rarely allowing himself to relax, and he joined in the laughter.

The two walked side by side, speaking lightly as if they were not on the Iron Chain Bridge in the Valley of Evil Yin but strolling along the road out of Chunhua County on a spring outing.

One day later, atop the Broken Altar in the Eighteen Layers of Hell in the Underworld, Yellow Eyebrow was bound by the Dragon-binding Circle and thrown into the center of the altar.

Zhenyuanzi, Yang Jian, Nezha, Bull Demon King, Nie Caizhu, Zhong Kui, and Shen Luo, seven people, surrounded the altar, each engraving a small Array Techniques beneath them.

“Stop wasting your efforts. None of you are versed in the art of Divine soul. To forcefully make me hand over the Heavenly Book is absolutely impossible. I advise you to abandon your resistance sooner rather than later and submit to the Demon Clan. The trajectory of the Dao's cycle is clearer to me than to any of you. The Heavenly Dao is already overwhelmed and on the brink of collapse. The rise of the Demon Clan and the rebuilding of the Demonic Path is the trend of the times. You are merely insignificant ants caught in the tide of destiny; no matter how much you struggle, it is all in vain,” Yellow Eyebrow said with composure, sneering.

The others ignored his bluster, each holding their breath and concentrating, ready to activate the Array.

At that moment, Zhenyuanzi gestured in front of him, and in the Void, seven darkly colored Talisman Papers with complexly and meticulously written golden charm patterns appeared.

“These are Ming Soul Symbols. Combined with the Bright Soul Curse that I just informed everyone about, we can activate the Great Formation,” Zhenyuanzi said.

Everyone reached out a hand, and the seven Ming Soul Symbols immediately flew in front of them, hovering in the Void.

Zhenyuanzi nodded and was the first to close his eyes, silently beginning to chant.

The rest followed, also closing their eyes to start chanting.

As the voices of the seven people gradually merged, a golden light emanated from the Talisman in front of each person.
