The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1769 - 1765: The Eve of Fox Chaos

After an unknown period of time, Shen Luo slowly awoke, still in the underground cave, with Fire Spirit Child, Zhao Feiji, the Sky Fiend Corpse King, and others quietly standing nearby.

"How long did I sleep?" Shen Luo shivered awake and quickly asked.

"Not even half a moment. Seeing your condition, could it be that you didn’t return to the past?" Fire Spirit Child frowned and said.

"Indeed, I didn’t return to the past, just had a nap. It shouldn’t be. Just now, the jade pillow’s change was exactly the same as last time before entering the dream in Tianji City." Shen Luo couldn’t believe it, sitting cross-legged, trying to sense the jade pillow.

The star power inside was not diminished, still in full state.

His expression eased a bit, it seemed that if not entering dreams and traveling, the star power within the jade pillow would not be consumed.

"Master, you might as well recount the details of this attempt, and we can all discuss it together. Perhaps we can find out where the problem is," Zhao Feiji suggested.

Shen Luo nodded, recounting everything that had just happened in detail.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feiji and Fire Spirit Child were deep in thought.

"I heard you mention your dream entry in Tianji City before, compared to this attempt, there’s one aspect that’s different." Fire Spirit Child quickly raised his head and said.

"What’s different?" Shen Luo immediately looked over.

"Last time in Tianji City, before entering the dream and traveling, you were thinking about investigating the murder of Elder Manbo, and the time and place you traveled to were very specific. However, this time before sleeping, you only thought about returning to three days ago, without mentioning specific reasons, making the purpose somewhat vague. I don’t know much about the space-time principles, perhaps only with more specific guidance can one successfully lead a travel." Fire Spirit Child said.

"Makes sense." Shen Luo nodded pensively, once again activating the prohibition within the jade pillow.

An invisible wave surged, and he once again grew drowsy.

"Check the prohibition set by Master Su here... Check the prohibition set by Master Su here..." Shen Luo kept repeating the thought in his mind, falling into sleep.

He only felt an unusual heaviness in his body, as if under the weight of a mountain, his eyes couldn’t open, but his consciousness was gradually awakening, with several voices coming through.

"How is the layout of the Dayan Immeasurable Heavenly Array going?" An old voice sounded.

"It’s basically completed. I’m ordering people to make sensory beads connected to the great formation. By then, I will trouble the three of you to arrange for people to bury them in the underground spiritual veins of Chang’an, Tianji, and other cities, waiting for the opportunity." A woman’s voice replied.

"This voice is Su Zhen!" Shen Luo’s still hazy consciousness cleared completely.

He was now standing in the underground cave, with Fire Spirit Child, Zhao Feiji, and others nowhere to be seen. The cave’s interior had changed significantly, with the long-missing World Tree quietly sitting there, hundreds of Fox Clan individuals busy inscribing formation runes on the tree stumps.

"Successfully traveled!" Shen Luo rejoiced, flipping through the air like a youth.

The jade pillow had repeatedly allowed him to travel through time, going to the future, but each crossing was beyond his control, leaving him anxious. Now he had finally mastered the time-travel power of the jade pillow, allowing him to use it whenever he wanted in the future.

Shen Luo quickly took a deep breath, calming his emotions, and looked towards the side of the tree stump.

There stood several figures, led by a person in white clothes, who was Su Zhen. Beside her stood three figures: a hunched old man, a tall burly man, and a young woman.

Shen Luo’s pupils shrank; the young woman was none other than Ma Xiuxiu, and although the other two had unfamiliar faces, their silhouettes were extremely familiar, likely You Quan and Hong Ku, who were with Ma Xiuxiu in the Celestial Secret Realm.

The three of them wore gray robes, the same attire that those three members of the Demon Clan had worn before when they fought him.

"No wonder I found the previous three familiar, turns out it’s you three..." Shen Luo sneered slightly.

Apart from Ma Xiuxiu and the other two, there was another person present.

Shen Luo frowned deeply, this person had a dragon head, also an old acquaintance, the Jing River Dragon King.

"So this person is here too. It seems it’s now before the Derivative and Conference." He silently noted.

"Brother Ao, I’ll leave Chang’an City to you," You Quan said, looking at the Jing River Dragon King. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Rest assured, Daoist You Quan, I will not let Lord Chiyou down! Last time, it was Yuan Tiangang who stood in the way, which allowed the Emperor Tang to escape disaster. This time, not only do I want to extract the Great Tang Dragon Qi, but I also intend to slay all the Li family of the Tang Dynasty and Yuan Tiangang, to repay my gratitude for the aid Lord Chiyou provided back then!" The Jing River Dragon King solemnly said.

"The experts of the Li Tang court and the Great Tang Dynasty Government have already been planned to be gradually lured away by us. Currently, within Chang’an City, there’s only Yuan Tiangang and some True Immortal Elders, which theoretically shouldn’t pose much of a hindrance to you. However, Yuan Tiangang’s cultivation has reached the Heavenly Venerate Realm, and he is within Chang’an City, so Brother Ao must be extremely careful," You Quan advised.

"Rest assured, Daoist You Quan, I have prepared for this day for over a century, with foolproof strategies to deal with Yuan Tiangang." The Jing River Dragon King confidently said.

"That’s good." You Quan nodded.

"Father, Chang’an City is about to hold the Derivative Conference. Quite a few experts from other sects will head to Chang’an City. According to the spies we placed in the Eastern Sea, that Shen Luo has also left the East Sea Dragon Palace for Chang’an City. Although his cultivation level isn’t high, he has many tricks and is extremely intelligent. If you encounter him while in Chang’an City, you must be cautious," Ma Xiuxiu reminded.

"Hmph, that boy back then only wounded me by relying on Yuan Tiangang’s power, merely a minor figure on his own. If I don’t meet him, so be it, but if I do, it’s just as well to settle the old score of that one sword." The Jing River Dragon King said dismissively.

Seeing this, Ma Xiuxiu was about to say something.

The Jing River Dragon King had already slightly cupped his hands towards the others, turning into a streak of golden light and flying toward Chang’an City.

"With Brother Ao taking care of Chang’an City, we’ll divide and conquer the remaining places. Daoist Ma, I’ll leave Tianji City to you. Be sure to kill that Elder Manbo and seize the Beiming Giant Scale from him!" You Quan said to Ma Xiuxiu.

"I understand, and I certainly won’t fail!" Ma Xiuxiu said earnestly.

Shen Luo’s expression slightly changed upon hearing this. So, Ma Xiuxiu attempted to assassinate Elder Manbo for this. Just what is this Beiming Giant Scale? It’s significant enough for Ma Xiuxiu to take such risks, infiltrating Tianji City to kill and steal treasures?

He drew closer to them, hoping to gather more information, but unfortunately, You Quan shifted the topic and didn’t mention it further.

"As for Baoxiang Country and Biqiu Nation, I’ll leave them to me and Hong Ku," You Quan said.

Hong Ku nodded in agreement, and soon, the three of them also transformed into black light, shooting off in separate directions.

Before long, only Su Zhen remained in the area, standing with hands clasped behind her back, looking at the bustling Fox Clan on the roots of the tree.

Seeing this, Shen Luo knew he wouldn’t hear any more useful information. He flew up to the roots of the World Tree, committing the prohibition formation patterns to memory.

However, it wasn’t long before he suddenly felt darkness envelop him, and he quickly fell into slumber.
