The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 281: Return to the Yang World

With the help of the Treasure-hunting Talisman’s ability to see through the mountain wall, Shen Luo was able to find a way to open the passage. The two quickly found a protruding stone that was different from the others, with the vague outline of a mechanism inside.

Xie Yuxin pressed hard on it, and the mountain wall made a “crackling” sound. The wall split open, revealing a passageway. It was pitch black inside, destination unknown.

“Thanks to Friend Shen for having such a magical talisman, otherwise, I don’t know when we would find this passage.” Xie Yuxin said with a sigh of relief.

“We don’t have much time, let’s go.” Shen Luo didn’t bother to dwell on the Treasure-hunting Talisman, and entered the passageway.

“I’m not sure if Yu Guan is reliable. There might be danger in the passageway. I’ll go first.” Xie Yuxin rushed to the front. A gray light flashed in her hand, revealing the Ghost Head Saber she held earlier. At the same time, a white light emerged from her body, forming a shield of white light in front of her.

Shen Luo, whose cultivation level was lower, didn’t insist on going first. He took out the Ghost Wailing Ring and held it in his hand, following behind.

The two figures quickly disappeared into the passageway. The mechanisms on the mountain wall crackled to life and slowly closed, covering the passageway once again.

In a room in the Impermanence Pavilion, the white wheel floated in front of Yu Guan, showing the scene of the passage closing.

“They really found it, quite interesting indeed.” Yu Guan clapped his hands and laughed.

He immediately made a hand sign and the scene inside the light wheel changed rapidly, showing the situation at the entrance of the valley.

All the shops in the valley started to close, and the stalls began to pack up. The ghosts in the valley were leaving the valley entrance one by one.

Black Pattern and Blood Robe Attendant stood in a hidden place outside the valley. The Blood Robe Attendant was holding a small black mirror, reflecting the multitude of ghosts leaving the valley.

Apart from them, there were over twenty black-robed ghosts standing in the fog in the distance, forming an encirclement and blocking the exit.

“Heh heh, to dare to disrespect me, this is the consequence. Keep looking.” Yu Guan chuckled, made another hand sign, and dissipated the light wheel.

Meanwhile, Shen Luo and Xie Yuxin were advancing slowly and carefully inside the passageway.

Thankfully, the anticipated danger did not appear, and they reached the end of the passage quite soon, blocked by a stone wall.

Shen Luo took out another Treasure-hunting Talisman, and after a brief

“Uncle, there’s something I need to ask you,” said Shen Luo, clearly not comfortable asking this favor.

“Go ahead, don’t hold back,” Bai Hecheng said, waving his hand for Shen Luo to proceed.

“I’ve made some recent insights into cultivation and want to go into seclusion to see if I can make further progress. But this means I won’t be available for any tasks from the mansion for a while,” explained Shen Luo.

“And here I thought it was a serious matter. Feel free to go into seclusion!” Bai Hecheng replied with a careless smile.

“Thank you, Uncle,” Shen Luo quickly thanked him.

“It is I who should thank you. I heard that Xiao Yun has agreed to resume his cultivation, and I know it’s all thanks to you,” said Bai Hecheng as he clapped Shen Luo’s shoulder.

“Xiao Yun has a good temperament, I merely gave him some advice, so I should hardly be credited,” Shen Luo modestly replied.

“I know that boy’s temperament very well. In the entire Bai Family, he only listens to Sky. He even brushes me aside at times, so I’m curious as to how he wound up listening to you?” Bai Hecheng inquired curiously.

“Well…probably because we hit it off,” replied Shen Luo with a smile.

“Regardless, I owe you a debt of gratitude for this. Take this token. From now on, you can freely access the secret chamber at the bottom of the lake in the Bai Family’s grounds. Since you are going into seclusion this time, why not do it there,” said Bai Hecheng, as he handed over a green jade token with the word “Bai” carved into it.

“Thank you, Uncle,” Shen Luo didn’t refuse and accepted the token right away.

“By the way, have you been in contact with Elder Ma Liang lately? If he’s still in Jianye City, perhaps invite him over to the Bai Mansion. We’d be happy to extend our hospitality,” said Bai Hecheng as if he’d just remembered.
