The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1607 - 1603: Ambush

Shen Luo and Yan Lie did not attempt to conceal their actions. The valley was not big enough to hide anything, and Che Qingtian frowned upon seeing this scene.

At this moment, black light suddenly flashed in Wu Luo’s hand, and the teleportation formation below also began to fluctuate violently.

"Friend Wu, have you found the problem?" Che Qingtian couldn’t care less about Shen Luo and Yan Lie and hastily asked.

"I found some clues. The issue with the teleportation formation is mainly due to the prohibitions inside it deteriorating over years without maintenance, causing some of the spiritual power to begin dispersing," Wu Luo explained.

Che Qingtian had long suspected this problem but couldn’t confirm it, nodding repeatedly upon hearing this.

"Prohibition’s spiritual power dispersing?" Inside the Carefree Mirror, Fire Spirit Child furrowed his brows.

"What, Fire Daoist friend, you think this isn’t the issue?" the Magical Clone asked upon seeing this reaction.

"Definitely not. If it were such a simple problem, I wouldn’t have failed to discover it just now," Fire Spirit Child stated resolutely.

"Is that so?" Seeing Fire Spirit Child so certain, the Divine Clone of Shen Luo’s eyes momentarily flickered.

Outside the Carefree Mirror, Shen Luo glanced at Wu Luo and remained silent.

"Then, Friend Wu, are you able to repair it?" Che Qingtian asked.

"For damages of this extent, of course, I can repair it. It just requires quite some time, at least two or three days, which we simply don’t have," Wu Luo shook his head and said.

"How can that be, is there no other way, Daoist friend?" Che Qingtian grew anxious.

"There is one method, but it would require the help of everyone present," Wu Luo glanced at Che Qingtian, Shen Luo, Yan Lie, and others as he spoke.

"What solution, Friend Wu, please feel free to mention it," Shen Luo asked.

"Repairing the teleportation formation’s prohibitions is not difficult. It can be nurtured with mana. However, given the urgent situation, we must resort to external help. I can set up a Demonic Essence Gathering Array around the teleportation formation. If everyone stands in the array and provides spiritual power, it might speed up the recovery of the prohibitions, perhaps restoring it within half a day," Wu Luo explained.

"So that’s the case; of course, we can do that. Friend Wu, please set up the array quickly," Che Qingtian relaxed and immediately said.

Wu Luo nodded and took out a stack of black array banners and formation discs, quickly beginning to set them up around the teleportation formation.

Shen Luo stood by, watching Wu Luo busy himself, still without saying a word.

"Cousin, do you think there is something questionable about this Wu Luo?" Inside the Carefree Mirror, Nie Cai Zhu asked.

"Perhaps I’m overthinking it, but to be on the safe side, Cai Zhu, Fire Daoist friend, be prepared to act as well," the Magical Clone said.

"Okay," Fire Spirit Child nodded and summoned the Gu Xuan star disk.

"Cousin, I don’t have the divine powers of Senior Fire, and it’s not easy to cast spells from behind the Carefree Mirror. Let me place this Nine Heavens Immortal Silk outside first. If something unexpected happens, I can act in time," Nie Cai Zhu said, offering the Nine Heavens Immortal Silk to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo secretly formed a hand sign, a faint red shadow flashed beneath his feet, and burrowed into the ground, disappearing.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Silk is an Earth Attribute Magical Treasure, and since divine sense was prohibited within the valley, this action attracted no attention from others.

Wu Luo quickly completed setting up the formation. The array was quite large, the coverage of the formation pattern reached twenty or thirty feet, and it was complex with five array eyes, one in the center and the others at each side.

"Fire Daoist friend, do you see anything improper about this array?" Shen Luo looked at the demonic array before him, communicating with Fire Spirit Child through a transmission. freёwebnoѵel.com

"I’m not very familiar with demon clan arrays, but from what I see, this indeed is a Gathering Spirit Array," Fire Spirit Child said.

"Maybe I’m overthinking it," Shen Luo nodded upon hearing this, murmuring to himself internally.

Wu Luo stood at the central Array Eye, positioning Che Qingtian, Shen Luo, Yan Lie, and Wanshui Zhenren at the other four Array Eyes, each holding a formation flag of the Demonic Heart Gathering Array.

"Open!" With a low shout from Wu Luo, he activated the Demonic Heart Gathering Array.

The entire Array immediately burst forth with profound black light, enveloping everyone inside it.

Following Wu Luo’s instructions, Shen Luo and the others activated the formation flags in their hands.

The Great Formation roared to life, quickly absorbing the Mana from their bodies and channeling it along the Formation Patterns towards the Teleportation Array.

The white light of the Teleportation Array suddenly brightened and began to operate loudly again, showing signs of improvement.

Che Qingtian’s face lit up with joy, just as he was about to say something, the black array flag in his hand suddenly exploded with a bang, turning into countless fine black threads that rapidly and tightly wrapped around his body.

These black threads were dark, glossy, and emitted faint Black Qi, giving off a sinister aura, clearly some kind of strange and evil entity.

Che Qingtian was shocked and immediately tried to counterattack with his spells, only to find that the Mana inside his body was as if solidified, unable to move even a bit.

The situation was the same for Shen Luo, Yan Lie, and Wanshui Zhenren, all enveloped in a large net formed by the black threads, just like fish in a net, with their Mana restrained and unable to move or even rebuke Wu Luo.

Shen Luo’s expression turned ugly; he had carefully inspected the black commanding flag several times before activating it without noticing any issues, yet despite all precautions, he still missed something.

With his Mana restrained, he couldn’t even control Ghost Teng Master to open the Carefree Mirror, and both Fire Spirit Child and Nie Caizhu were unable to use their spells to affect the outside.

Fortunately, Nie Caizhu was cautious in her actions, leaving her Nine Heavens Immortal Silk outside, and Shen Luo immediately communicated with Nie Caizhu using his Divine Sense.

Wu Luo, seeing the four people restrained, revealed a smug smile on his face and suddenly shook the formation flag in his hand.

The black light emitted by the Demonic Heart Gathering Array suddenly transformed, turning into layers upon layers of black shadows.

The bodies of Shen Luo and the others sank once more, as if falling into a boundless quagmire, making their already immobilized bodies even harder to move.

Seeing this, Wu Luo did not attack the four anymore but leaped into the Teleportation Array, waving his sleeve and sending a black light onto the Array.

The white light within the Array shined even brighter, rapidly starting up again, and just as it was about to teleport Wu Luo, a red shadow flashed beside the Array on the ground, and a red long silk lightning-fast emerged, swiftly wrapping around Wu Luo’s body, while the other end of the long silk wrapped around Shen Luo.

The white Array reached its peak operation at this moment, emitting a howling hum, and the figure of Wu Luo along with the red long silk vanished in a flash.

And the figure of Shen Luo connected to the other end of the red long silk also disappeared in a flicker.

Shen Luo’s vision was overwhelmed by white light, and when his sight restored, he found himself in an exceptionally spacious white hall, appearing to be the same white hall where he was first teleported into Tianyan Palace, with the Divine Prohibition in the Void also looking exactly the same.

He still had fine black threads wrapped around his body, restraining his Mana, but without Wu Luo’s manipulation, the black threads were rapidly dispersing, and his Mana was starting to loosen.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Silk floated around him, not taken away by Wu Luo.

Knowing this place was temporarily safe, Shen Luo fully exerted his Skills, struggling to free himself from the black threads’ constraints, slowly regaining control of his restrained Mana.

"Ha!"

He let out a low shout, bursts of True Solar Fire erupted from his body, burning the remaining black threads to ashes, and his Mana circulation completely returned to normal.

"Just now, what happened? Why was Wu Luo able to control that Teleportation Array?" Shen Luo waved his sleeve, muttering to himself.

The situation just now was clearly Wu Luo using some tricks to leave everyone behind and entering Tianyan Palace for the trial alone, thankfully he had made preparations beforehand, otherwise, he would have also fallen into the opponent’s trap.
