The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1567 - 563: Missing

Liu Hongzheng was entangled with the killing of poisonous insects when, caught off guard, a poisonous scorpion darted up his calf and fiercely stung him.

He had cast a protective spell, but it surprisingly had no effect whatsoever.

With a low cry, he raised his hand, swatted the scorpion away, and stopped entangling with the murderous insects. He leaped into the air, avoiding further attack, and hovered in mid-air.

Shen Luo saw his calf turn purplish-blue in an instant, and a patch of black Qi began spreading towards his thigh, clearly indicating that the toxins had already invaded.

At this moment, Tao Xiang quickly flew over from the side, took out a green talisman with golden patterns from her sleeve, and stuck it on Liu Hong’s wound.

The talisman flashed with light and started burning rapidly, releasing a green halo that quickly spread and enveloped Liu Hong’s entire calf.

Soon, the green halo began to shrink gradually, and the black poisonous gas being enveloped also continuously contracted, gathering at the wound where the toxins were concentrated.

"Endure a bit," Tao Xiang said to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong nodded.

Immediately thereafter, Tao Xiang’s fingers slid across, and a piece of flesh and blood from the wound, along with the scorpion’s stinger, was cut away.

This time, Liu Hong merely clenched his teeth and grunted without making more noise.

"Everyone, these scorpions contain Gu poison. Even if they haven’t stung anyone, they will continuously release Gu poison. Although everyone is protected by magical treasures and godly powers, if this continues for too long, it will inevitably be harmful rather than beneficial. For now, let’s not hold back any longer and quickly eliminate these poisonous scorpions and find the Soul Birth Pillar," Tao Xiang declared loudly.

After speaking, she led by example, raising her hand to pull out the Magical Xuanxing Disk.

She flew into an area dense with poisonous scorpions, manipulated the Xuanxing Disk a few times, and a beam of golden light emerged from it.

"Starfire Array, activate!" she shouted crisply.

The Xuanxing Disk immediately shone brightly, and a miniature octagonal array phantom flashed on it, rapidly growing several times larger, enveloping an area of tens of meters around it.

Then, beams of light on the array condensed into a dazzling sea of stars above the array.

Shen Luo looked up and felt that this sea of stars was somewhat similar to the starry sea connected by the Three-Star Demonic Extermination Technique.

In the next instant, meteor-like lights continuously fell from above the array, bombarding the ground.

Loud booming sounds rang continuously as sparks flew on the ground, and beams of starlight shattered the Gu-scorpions on the ground, scattering their remains.

Liu Hong was tending to his injuries and remained still for the moment.

Li Biao followed suit, raising his hand and a long black and green ink slab appeared out of nowhere. Its gold patterns flashed, suddenly enlarging a hundredfold, and smashed down on a poisonous insect.

When the ink slab hit the ground, it thundered loudly, and the murderous insect along with a large number of Gu-scorpions were smashed into pulp.

Seeing this, other people naturally felt embarrassed to continue playing safe, each pulling out their magical treasures and striking at the poisonous insects covering the ground.

Yan Lie took out a snow-white octagonal fan that looked plain, adorned only with a few intermittent black lines seemingly representing the Xun position of the Eight Trigrams.

As he swung his hand, a green whirlwind burst out of the fan, sweeping into the hordes of Gu-scorpions, causing a loud wind noise. Countless sharp blades densely intertwined, instantly chopping up numerous poisonous scorpions.

And where the Qingfeng whirlwind passed, not only were no remnants of the poisonous scorpions left behind, even the slightest dust was nowhere to be seen.

"Such a Dustless Fan."

Wanshui Zhenren sighed lightly, raised his hand to take out a big flag, and waved it abruptly.

"Rustle rustle," a surge of water waves swept past, instantly carrying away nearly half of the poisonous scorpions, wrapping them and rolling them to the base of the wall, forming a violently spinning black vortex.

Within the vortex, the Heaven and Earth Aura clashed violently, and amidst it seemed to be a millstone, grinding those poisonous scorpions into dust.

On the other side, Tian Sanqi also waved his hand, bursting out a thousand streaks of Sword Qi, slaying a large number of poisonous scorpions.

After clearing the area around him, he folded his arms and looked towards Ghost Vine Master with interest.

"Ghost Vine Fellow Daoist, everyone is busily contributing, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to just stand by and watch?" Tian Sanqi looked at Ghost Vine Master and asked.

Throughout this journey, he had finally noticed some clues and began to suspect this Ghost Vine Master, who was controlled by Shen Luo using a divided soul.

Seeing this, Shen Luo naturally couldn’t stand by without taking action.

However, to deploy a wide-range attack, he decided he could no longer use his own mystic arts and Magical Treasures that Tian Sanqi and the others had seen before.

Thus, he immediately controlled the Ghost Vine to wave his hand, unfurling a sinister, black big banner with a whoosh.

"Just now I was merely being cautious on everyone’s behalf, now watch closely," Shen Luo provocatively said to Tian Sanqi.

After speaking, he cast a spell to activate the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, whereupon the aura of Yin Sha Qi surged wildly, and the rolling black Ghostly Qi burst out, forming a fog tide rushing towards the poisonous scorpions. As it passed, it sizzled with a strong corrupting effect.

A large number of poisonous scorpions were submerged by the rolling black fog, initially showing no abnormalities, but soon they flipped onto the ground, unable to move.

Seeing the black fog expanding towards others, everyone showed disgust and avoided it.

"Ghost Vine Fellow Daoist, you can withdraw your God’s Power now, the poisonous scorpions and the killing of poisonous insects are almost cleaned up," Tao Xiang shouted to him.

At her words, Shen Luo then manipulated the Ghost Vine Master to wave his sleeve robe, and all the black fog began to roll back in, returning to the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.

Tian Sanqi’s eyes flashed with puzzlement as his gaze shifted away from the Ghost Vine Master.

All the poisonous insects were now cleared, but the great hall still reeked of a foul odor, nearly making people want to vomit.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t know where the Soul Birth Pillar is hidden, I suggest we break these columns first to see if it’s inside," Li Biao, running out of patience, proposed.

"Not bad, if we keep waiting like this, who knows what Ghost Thing might come out," Liu Hong also agreed.

This time, even Tao Xiang did not oppose the two men’s suggestion.

"No need for such trouble." Just then, the voice of the Ghost Vine Master suddenly sounded.

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention toward him. freewёbnoνel.com

"Does Ghost Vine Fellow Daoist have a clever idea?" Wanshui Zhenren asked in a grave tone.

"When those poisonous insects appeared just now, I noticed some movements on the beams of the roof. It seems the Soul Birth Pillar must be hidden within them," Ghost Vine Master extended a finger pointing upwards and said.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up, but they did not notice anything unusual.
