The Lord of Void and Real

“Do you know how long they’ve been gone?” Gu Hualing stared at Ding Yuan and asked.

“Not too long, less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.” Ding Hua quickly answered.

“It’s enough. With my tracking skills, finding them should be no problem.” Gu Hualing nodded after hearing this.

“You should be more aware than I am of the importance of the ‘Pure Yang Scripture.’ This time, they’ve sent out so many demons and ghosts to help us complete the task, it’s not just for a simple set of skills. You must bring it back intact. Otherwise, neither you nor I would have a good end!” Wang Qingsong’s expression became even more serious, he warned.

“Hee hee, looks like you know the secrets in the scripture… But you can rest assured, dealing with two Qi refining stage youngsters is not difficult, I will definitely bring back the scripture.” Gu Hualing confidently said.

After saying that, a purple light flashed behind her, and the two bone wings immediately retracted, and her body was immediately enveloped in a light purple smoke.

When the smoke dissipated, her figure had changed, and she had reverted back to the handsome young man.

“Ah, you are Gu… Gu…” Ding Hua was dumbfounded looking at the handsome young man.

But Gu Hualing didn’t pay any attention to Ding Hua. She leaped into the air and flew more than ten feet into a forest.

“You indeed lack aptitude, and you’re spineless. I wanted to kill you, but at this moment, I need a obedient person by my side, so you can temporarily follow me.” Wang Qingsong looked at her departure and glanced at Ding Hua with a chuckle.

“Yes, yes, I will follow all of Elder Master’s orders!”

Upon hearing these words, Ding Hua was overjoyed and immediately nodded.

…

The sky was getting dark, and Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian had fled all the way to Tuji Town.

They didn’t dare to delay, quickly prepared some food, bought two fast horses, and fled out of the town together.

“Brother Bai, the demons are fierce. Even the Senior Ancestor was affected. Master Luo and the Pavilion Master might be gone now. What should we do now?” Shen Luo asked as he urged his horse to gallop.

“The demons are causing trouble, and the other cultivators will not stand by and do nothing. But now the news can’t get out, and the Spring and Autumn Pavilion can only be isolated. In Dengzhou, the nearest cultivation sect to us is the Weak Water Sect. We should go to them for help.” Bai Xiaotian seemed to have made arrangements beforehand and immediately replied.

“For now, that is the only option we have. Hopefully, we can still make it in time. But does Brother Bai know where the Weak Water Sect is?” Shen Luo pondered for a moment and asked.

“Weak Water Sect specializes in water techniques. The sect is built at the common source of the Luan Shui River and Bailian River, which is in Wugong County. Its location is actually easier to find than our Spring and Autumn Pavilion, and their reputation is much louder than ours. We can get there by heading east from the county town, crossing Tianping County, and Dalang Township.” Bai Xiaotian answered. ŗἁℕɵꞖΕṡ

“Elder Master Wang knows my identity. We can’t go through the county town. We should leave Chunhua County overnight. We can detour through Song Fan County. The journey will be longer, but it’s safer.” replied Shen Luo shaking his head.

“Right, it’s safer to detour.” Hearing this, Bai Xiaotian nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, both of them were lost in thought, no longer speaking. They simply urged on their horses and galloped away.

After they left Tuji Town, the sky had completely darkened.

“Brother Bai, aren’t you curious about why I suddenly gained mana?” After a long silence, Shen Luo couldn’t help but ask.

“No matter what kind of fortuitous encounter you’ve had, Shen, that’s your own luck. When you’re ready to talk about it, you will. If you don’t say it, it means it’s not time to talk about it. Besides, you’re now a cultivator yourself. At least you’re not living day by day in fear anymore, and I can worry a bit less for you.” Bai Xiaotian laughed and said.

“Thank you, Brother Bai, for taking care of me all these years. When the time is right, I will tell you about it.” Seeing that he was not bothered at all, Shen Luo let go of his worries.

“Although we are friends and our hearts are open to each other, there’s no need to be fully transparent. You’re not the only one with secrets. I have things I can’t talk about on myself, too.” Bai Xiaotian suddenly turned his head and laughingly said to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo knew that although Bai Xiaotian acted carelessly at times, he was always honest with his friends. He couldn’t help but nod again and again. But just at that moment, his nose wrinkled, and he detected an unusual scent.

“They’ve actually caught up…” Bai Xiaotian also frowned and said in a low voice.

Both of their expressions became tense. Shen Luo spurred his horse to run faster, turning his head to look back on the road.

He saw several dozens of feet behind them, floating in mid-air were clusters of green lights about three feet off the ground, rapidly gaining on them.

After no more than ten breaths, the distance between the ghost fires and them had closed to about ten feet. As the moonlight shone, Shen Luo finally saw that it was three completely black monster dogs, with green eyes, chasing after them.

They were twice as large as ordinary hunting dogs. Their bodies were wrapped in black fog, their fangs protruding outwards, shining coldly, and their mouths dripped with a repugnantly foul drool.

“Shen Luo, an ordinary horse can’t outrun these things. We should take care of them first.” Bai Xiaotian shouted.

“Okay.” Shen Luo jerked the reins hard, causing the black horse to rear up and come to a halt.

On the other hand, Bai Xiaotian patted his horse and leaped into the air. His body twisted in mid-air before landing.

He moved with grace and ease, creating an indescribable sense of freedom.

Shen Luo looked back and followed him, dismounting from his horse.

Seeing Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian stop, the three monster dogs barked and rushed forward even faster, lunging at them like wolves out for blood.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaotian suddenly lunged forward, stepping out the Seven Stars Gang Step beneath his feet. His figure slightly blurred and unexpectedly charged at the monster dog in the front.

The monster was obviously unprepared and was caught off guard by Bai Xiaotian’s closeness. It could only hurriedly open its mouth and bite down.

Bai Xiaotian calmly avoided the bite of the monster dog. Immediately, his uplifted right hand was illuminated with a hazy green light. His entire palm suddenly grew by a factor of one, and he launched the Qingyang Hand, slapping the creature in the chest.

With a crisp “snap.”

The monster dog’s chest instantly caved in, as if several ribs had been shattered, and the body was thrown seven or eight meters away.

The force of Bai Xiaotian’s palm was much stronger than what Tian Tiesheng had used in the past.

But before he could retract his outstretched arm, a black shadow suddenly flashed by from the side. It was another monster dog that had raced close to the ground, leapt towards him, and bit towards his arm.
