The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1858 - 1854: Old Man in the Banner

The Ape Ancestor gazed at Shen Luo, who was half-immortal, half-demon, with battle intent blazing in his eyes, ready to step forward, but Mi Su raised her hand and stopped him.

"I didn’t expect in such a short time, Friend Shen’s strength has grown to this level, and you’ve even mastered the Du Tian Shen Sha formation. I admit, your strength is now on par with ours, and our previous actions were a bit reckless. If you return Tong’er to us, both I and Ape Ancestor will leave, how about that?" Mi Su said slowly.

"You two were just about to kill me, can such a light apology suffice?" Shen Luo sneered.

"Friend Shen, you’ve retracted the Du Tian Shen Sha formation, isn’t it to end this meaningless conflict? Now that we’re willing to leave, why say such words?" Mi Su smiled faintly and said.

"I indeed intend to stop the conflict, and you two can leave as you please. However, Tu Shantong is the captive of the Mirror Fiend and cannot be returned to you casually," Shen Luo said calmly.

"What compensation does Friend Shen require to release Tu Shantong?" Mi Su asked after a moment of silence.

Tu Shantong is the next clan leader of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and must not be lost. freeweɓnøvel~com

"Exchange it for a piece of Nine Heavens Gold Essence as big as the previous one, isn’t that reasonable?" Shen Luo said.

"The Nine Heavens Gold Essence is extremely precious, and the previous piece was merely formed from illusion techniques," Mi Su said, frowning.

"If so, then you may leave. Whenever you’ve gathered the materials, come find me," Shen Luo said, sweeping his long sleeve, engulfing the unconscious Tu Shantong into the Free and Easy Mirror.

"I have two pieces of Nine Heavens Gold Essence on me, though much smaller. Can the rest be replaced with other spiritual materials?" Mi Su said with a flash of anger in her eyes, holding back her temper.

With her hand sweeping before her, a storage magical tool and two pieces of Nine Heavens Gold Essence appeared in front of her, one the size of a bowl, the other as big as a fist.

Shen Luo remained composed, but was quite surprised internally. He proposed this exchange mostly to make things difficult, not expecting Mi Su to actually possess quite a bit of Nine Heavens Gold Essence.

He spread his fingers, and five golden electric arcs wrapped around the storage magical tool and two pieces of Nine Heavens Gold Essence, dragging them to him.

Under the strikes of the golden lightning, the two pieces of Gold Essence and storage magical tool showed no abnormalities, proving they were not illusions.

Shen Luo’s Divine Sense penetrated the storage magical tool; inside was a batch of precious spiritual materials, many usable, but unfortunately there was no Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood.

"Alright." He collected the three items, feeling a surge of excitement.

With these two pieces of Nine Heavens Gold Essence, the power of his Profound Yellow Staff could be enhanced further.

Feeling joyful, he waved his arm, causing a space gate to appear beside him. Tu Shantong shot out and landed steadily beside Mi Su.

"Fox Ancestor, it’s my fault, defeated by the enemy." She, having awakened from unconsciousness, showed a face filled with shame.

"That Mirror Fiend’s powers are quite restraining to you, plus someone was aiding him, so your defeat is not unjust. Find a way to win next time." Mi Su frowned slightly but soon relaxed, saying calmly.

"Yes." Tu Shantong replied.

"Let’s go!" The Ape Ancestor summoned that dark cloud, enveloped the three, and shot off into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye over the horizon.

Seeing Ape Ancestor and Mi Su forced to retreat, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Shen, I apologize." Ao Hong said, somewhat guilty.

"Master, it’s my fault..." Zhao Feiji directly clasped his fists.

The Tear Demon and several others said nothing, but their expressions clearly showed discomfort, as during just now’s encounter, they were all controlled by the enemy’s illusions, and later hardly helped much, naturally feeling somewhat apologetic.

"Everyone, no need for this. The Qingqiu Fox Clan’s illusion techniques are second only to the Jade Fox Clan of Jilei Mountain. It’s not surprising you fell for it for a moment. Now that they’ve retreated, let’s protect Cai Zhu first, help stabilize her cultivation level before discussing further." Shen Luo said hurriedly.

Everyone remained silent, just began to perform mystic arts, stabilizing the half-activated Du Tian Shen Sha formation.

However, after only a moment, sudden changes occurred!

The Du Tian Shen Sha formation suddenly erupted in black light, and on the Du Tian Shen Sha Banner bearing the image of Ancestral Witch Gonggong, the witchcraft power burst forth instantly, exuding a vast, ancient aura.

"This is..."

As Shen Luo was surprised, that banner suddenly soared through the water waves, expanding a hundredfold, transforming into a towering giant hand, sounding like a whirlwind, slapping toward the bizarre "Palace" in the distance.

A "boom" sounded underwater.

The enormous, grave-like palace collapsed dramatically, kicking up dust mixed with seawater into layers of murky water waves, spreading rapidly in all directions.

In the astonished eyes of everyone, the suddenly attacking Du Tian Shen Sha Banner reversed course, its surface swiftly shrinking, and upon fully returning, it had gone back to its original size.

But within its surface, it was wrapped around a skeleton as white and pure as jade.

Although the skeleton was incredibly translucent, resembling jade, its surface bore many wounds, its gloss rather dim, but the aura it emitted astonished everyone.

"Such pure witchcraft power!" Shen Luo didn’t know whether it was a blessing or misfortune, daring not to act rashly.

Every bone in that skeleton possessed extremely impressive witchcraft power, and as the flag slowly unfolded, it didn’t fall but remained standing, closely adhering to the flag surface.

At this moment, that Du Tian Shen Sha Banner suddenly radiated brightly, with strands of black light probing out from inside like a spider web, gradually winding around the skeleton.

In just moments, the skeleton was fully enveloped by the black light, and under the shocked gazes of everyone, was slowly consumed into the banner.

At the same time, the banner began to swell rapidly, the flag surface "whooshing" as it expanded several times, its aura becoming increasingly terrifying, even affecting Nie Caizhu who was stabilizing her cultivation, causing her to knit her brows tightly.

Seeing this, Shen Luo worried the formation might negatively affect Nie Caizhu, just as he was about to intervene to retract it, the section of the Gonggong Ancestral Witch Banner suddenly straightened out in the water.

By then, the skeleton ingrained entirely into the Du Tian Shen Sha Banner, its abundant witchcraft power continuously pouring into Nie Caizhu’s body.

However, now she no longer exhibited signs of impending collapse, rather her entire being, in semi-transparent gloss, revealing internal bones like white jade, her Taiyi Realm steadily stabilizing.

Shen Luo felt a surge of joy, his gaze landing on that Gonggong Ancestral Witch Banner, suddenly discovering points of white light shining on it.

The pattern on the flag appeared amidst the glow, transforming into a tall Old Man dressed in an ancient long robe.
