The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1554 - 1550: The Whole Story

"So that’s how it is, those ghosts and the Ten Thousand Demons Banner are closely connected. Even if they are killed by my Golden Thunder Power, they wouldn’t be completely eradicated. The Yin Qi can return to the banner and take shape again. In such a cycle, no matter how powerful the God’s Power, you would be worn down by the endless ghosts," Shen Luo thought to himself as he observed the scene before him.

Only those ghosts that were completely devoured by Zhao Feiji’s Punishing Evil Divine Light would vanish completely, never able to have their Yin Qi reclaimed by the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.

"This Punishing Evil Divine Light really is an incredible Big Miraculous Power," Shen Luo glanced at Zhao Feiji with admiration.

Hearing Zhao Feiji’s mockery, Ghost Teng Master just sneered and once again urged the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, releasing hundreds of ghosts from within, which rushed towards Shen Luo and him.

"It seems that the Ten Thousand Demons Banner’s abilities also stop here. This is the end," Shen Luo muttered under his breath as he spread open his arms in the void and stimulated the thunder and lightning spiritual patterns to their ultimate potential.

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of thick, python-like golden lightning bolts shot out from his arms, raging around the cave mansion, instantly turning the entire cave into a world of thunder and lightning.

Hundreds of ghosts were shredded in the blink of an eye, dispersing into countless streams of Yin Qi.

Ghost Teng Master’s expression changed dramatically. Just as he was about to make a hand seal to do something, a figure blurred before his eyes, and Shen Luo’s figure suddenly appeared.

The former’s expression turned to shock as he flew backwards, holding up the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, which radiated an intense black light in defense. The ghosts inside the banner swarmed out, including two True Immortal-level ghosts.

Shen Luo opened his mouth and spat out a burst of blue ice flame, hitting the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.

With a sizzling sound, the banner was instantly covered with a layer of shimmering blue ice crystals. The black Qi on it was completely frozen, hanging still in the air.

The Yin Qi space inside the Ten Thousand Demons Banner was also instantly covered with ice crystals, and all the ghosts turned into blue ice sculptures, including those two True Immortal souls.

"Impossible!" Ghost Teng Master looked at this scene, his face filled with disbelief.

He had possessed the Ten Thousand Demons Banner for a long time and knew better than anyone the formidable power of this banner. Its layer of seals had already reached the Perfect Boundary of sixty-four layers, more powerful than any Perfect Magical Treasures he had ever seen, and he even suspected that it might be an Immortal Artifact.

Yet, such a powerful magical treasure was frozen by a mere weak blue ice flame?

In the moment Ghost Teng Master was dazed, Shen Luo flicked his finger, and another burst of blue ice flame flew out, targeting his body.

Ghost Teng Master shuddered into action, his body emitting a surge of black Qi in an attempt to resist.

However, above his head in the void, a silver little bell appeared out of nowhere and chimed.

A wave of silver ripples cascaded down, and Ghost Teng Master’s eyes became muddled. He stood frozen as if he were under a binding spell.

The blue ice flame hit his body, a force of extreme cold instantly sweeping through him. With a crisp "crackle," Ghost Teng Master was completely frozen, encased within a small blue iceberg several meters high, his face showing a mix of fear and shock.

A flicker of joy passed through Shen Luo’s eyes, the power of the Indigo Ocean Divine Technique at the fifth-layer realm was indeed astonishing. This Ghost Teng Master, although skilled, had no power to resist.

"Master, since you could subdue this man with a flick of your wrist, why did you continue to engage with him until now?" Zhao Feiji flew over at this moment, asking somewhat reproachfully.

Shen Luo smiled and raised his hand, pointing toward mid air.

The Golden Sword Array above the Cave Mansion roared and disintegrated, transforming into ten Flying Swords that entered into his sleeve.

"Already resolved?" Fire Spirit Child flew in from outside, controlling the Netherworld Furnace.

"Fire Daoist friend, are you proficient in soul searching techniques? I want to extract some information from this Ghost Teng Master," Shen Luo nodded and asked through a transmitted message.

"I don’t know the art of soul searching, but I do know a few techniques in soul bewitching. With your cooperation, we might be able to control a True Immortal-level Divine Soul, but this Ghost Teng Master has reached the True Immortal Middle Stage; I’m afraid I’m unable to help," Fire Spirit Child shook his head.

"If that is the case, then I will try another method," Shen Luo’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, but soon relaxed again.

He approached the ice-sealed Ghost Teng Master, extending a palm to press on the Blue Iceberg.

The upper layer of the Blue Iceberg quickly melted, and in a few breaths, the head of the Ghost Teng Master was revealed.

"Family name Shen, I don’t recall offending you. The previous pursuit was all due to Fangjin Pavilion and Yan Lie’s people. Why did you take action against me?" The Blue Ice Crystals had only deprived the Ghost Teng Master of freedom; they didn’t attack him. Once his head was freed, he immediately regained mobility and shouted anxiously.

"We indeed had no conflicts between us, but Ghost Vine Fellow Daoist, you must be familiar with a female monk named Xie Yuxin, right?" Shen Luo said with a cold smile.

The pupils of the Ghost Teng Master suddenly contracted to the size of pinpricks and then returned to normal, but the fleeting change in his expression did not escape Shen Luo’s eyes.

"It seems Ghost Vine Fellow Daoist is aware of this woman. She is a long-time friend of mine. Now do you understand why I took action against you?" Shen Luo spoke indifferently.

Fire Spirit Child on the side showed a surprised expression; he also didn’t expect that Shen Luo had this reason for taking action against the Ghost Teng Master.

"I indeed know a female monk named Xie Yuxin, who came from the Eastern Great Tang. This woman heard from somewhere about a Yan Technique in the Boundless Sand Sea that can grant mortals Eternal Life and came searching for it. I had some interactions with her, but we soon parted ways, and I don’t know what happened to her afterwards," the Ghost Teng Master rapidly thought and spoke quickly.

Hearing this, Shen Luo felt surprised, so it was for this matter that Xie Yuxin came to the Boundless Sand Sea?

His expression remained unchanged, he scoffed coldly, and with a wave of his sleeve, he pulled over an object, which was one of the corpse refinements belonging to the Ghost Teng Master.

After being subdued by Shen Luo, his corpse refinements lost their control and all collapsed to the ground.

"Then these corpse refinements bearing the Ghost Yan Technique, where did Ghost Vine Fellow Daoist learn them from?" Shen Luo lifted the arm of a refined corpse, on which many intricate patterns were engraved—these were the Ghost Suppression Runes.

"How do you know the Ghost Technique?" The Ghost Teng Master was taken aback.

"If I am not mistaken, the scripture you are cultivating should be the Heavenly Corpse Scripture. I wonder if it was Ghost Yan who learned this skill from you, or if you learned it from him. I am well aware of the dealings between you two, and there is plenty of evidence to show your complicity!" Shen Luo spoke in a chilling tone, each sentence like a heavy hammer striking the heart of the Ghost Teng Master.

The Ghost Teng Master froze; even though his whole body was wrapped in solid ice, beads of sweat the size of beans still appeared on his forehead.

Over the years, he had carefully hidden his relationship with the Ghost Yan, confident that no one had discovered it, but now this young man had spoken it all in one breath.

"The body of Xie Yuxin, I have already retrieved it from Ghost Yan. If you are wise, tell me everything you know, and I can grant you a chance for reincarnation. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to make you experience the suffering of Soul Refining, and then let your soul be utterly dispersed!" Shen Luo’s face revealed a frosty expression, and with a "pfft" sound, a Red Lotus Karmic Fire appeared in his palm.
