The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 896 - 893: A Dream of Yellow Millet

Affected by the chaos of the Heaven and Earth Aura, Shen Luo was only able to perceive a very limited range, and the Demon Qi he sensed was also extremely faint, not realizing something was amiss until this moment.

"Ah..." But no sooner had he spoken than a dreadful scream suddenly came from the backyard.

Immediately after, there was a sound of "crash crash" as roof tiles shattered.

The noisy clamor in the courtyard drowned out the sounds behind it, and only Shen Luo sensed that something was wrong. He put down his wine cup and vanished from the midst of the crowd like a ghostly specter.

He had just reached the entrance of the courtyard door when he saw a Lu Mansion servant, his face stricken with horror, running out from behind, flailing his arms and shouting incoherently, "Ah, there’s, there’s a demon, a... a demon ah..."

"What happened?" Shen Luo grabbed the servant by the collar and demanded.

The servant was completely panicked by now, trembling violently and reeking of an unpleasant odor as Shen Luo held him up.

Shen Luo channeled a thread of Mana into his body to calm him down before asking, "Speak, what did you see?"

"A marten, a large white marten, as big as a house, it took away the Madam, took her away..." It was only then that the servant finally regained some sense and reported to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo released his grip, and the servant immediately collapsed to the ground, fainting.

Without any hesitation, Shen Luo leapt, instantly arriving at the doorway of the newlyweds’ room in the backyard.

Outside the room lay two maids; Shen Luo bent down to check on them and found both were just unconscious, which was a relief.

He straightened up and pushed open the wooden door that was bolted from the inside, walking in.

Upon entering, Shen Luo saw overturned tables and chairs with dried fruits such as peanuts, dates, and lotus seeds scattered on the floor, but there was no sign of the bride and groom.

There was a water jar-sized hole in the roof, exposing the dark clouds and moonlight above.

By now, people from the front courtyard had gotten wind of the situation and came towards this side in a disorderly crowd.

Shen Luo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and with a leap, he swept out through the big hole in the roof, hovering in the sky a hundred feet high, surveying his surroundings. Beyond the moonlight on the dark mountain forest, nothing else could be seen.

"It’s an Immortal Lord, it’s the Immortal Lord..." At this time, the townspeople below also spotted Shen Luo above, and they all knelt down, worshipping ceaselessly.

Shen Luo looked towards the deep forest behind Two Realms Town and saw a blurry mountain shadow with undulating peaks and valleys, which seemed to be the collapsed Two Realms Mountain mentioned by the townsfolk.

He had the intuition that if there was a demonic presence, it was most likely related to that area. He soared straight towards it without delay.

"Whoosh whoosh"

Wind whistled past Shen Luo’s ears as he flew for quite some time but was surprised to find that the distance to the mountain shadow was not getting closer; instead, it seemed to be growing farther away.

A tinge of surprise arose in his heart, so he immediately halted, looking around to realize that he was indeed flying toward the mountain shadow and that the distance from Two Realms Town was also increasing.

However, for some reason, the distance to the mountain shadow was actually growing farther away.

"Could there be some kind of Spatial Array at work, or is some Illusion Technique causing mischief?" Shen Luo was astounded.

His eyes narrowed as he probed further, but still, he found nothing.

The Aura of Heaven and Earth here was simply too chaotic; not to mention that divine soul had little use, even the efficacy of the Pupil Technique became extremely limited once a certain distance was reached.

Shen Luo hesitated for a moment before stretching out his arms, and a sudden burst of gold and silver light shimmered on his arms. His figure blurred in an instant as he began to use the Thousand-mile Wing Flapping Technique and disappeared from his original spot.

A streak of light flashed through the void thousands of miles away, and the figure of Shen Luo emerged.

After he stabilized his figure, he looked down at the surroundings below once more.

This time, Shen Luo was stunned on the spot, seeing the town below brightly lit, with cries and wails emanating from a mansion in the center. It was still the Two Realms Town.

"How could this be?" puzzled, Shen Luo looked up again toward the distance, only to see the silhouette of Two Realms Mountain still looming beyond the mountain forest.

He frowned deeply, with gold and silver light sparkling on his arms, and used the Thousand-mile Wing Flapping Technique once again.

When his figure reappeared, the ancient town was gone beneath him, but he still had not reached Two Realms Mountain—instead, he was above a section of mountain forest.

As he searched toward the silhouette of that mountain again, he was shocked to find that it now appeared in a different direction, with the distance from him just the same as before, unchanged at all.

Shen Luo moved his figure and flew through the high air while carefully surveying the ground below.

Sure enough, it was not long before he spotted a light on the ground, and as he flew above, it was still Two Realms Town.

"This time, it seems to be even trickier than Mount Fangcun. With the ability of an escape technique, I can’t fly out of this area. I’m afraid I’ll be trapped here, let alone finding Five Finger Mountain," Shen Luo’s brow knitted into knots.

His figure gradually descended, attempting to land outside the town, but as he approached the ground, the same odd fluctuation he initially felt swept over his body like a water curtain.

By the time his feet touched the ground, he found himself already standing inside the archway.

"Since I can’t fly out, why not try escaping underground?" Shen Luo’s brows raised slightly as he thought to himself.

With that thought, he immediately took out an Escape Earth Talisman, pinched it between two fingers, and poured mana into it to activate it.

As the Talisman Paper lit up, a layer of earthy-yellow glow enveloped Shen Luo. His body shrank, and he instantly burrowed underground, down to over a hundred feet deep.

After determining the direction of the silhouette of the mountain, he quickly traveled through the underground, heading straight toward it.

Shen Luo continued to travel underground for tens of miles, and by his estimation, he should have already reached the mountain silhouette by then, only to surge upward and rush straight toward the surface.

However, the instant he broke through the soil, a dazzling white light shone down from above, making his eyes sting and involuntarily raising his hands to cover them. freёweɓnovel.com

"What’s going on?"

Shen Luo rubbed his eyes and looked up into the sky, only to discover that it was bright daylight, and the sun was high above.

"Impossible, from entering the village in the evening to searching several times, at most two to three hours had passed, how could it be daylight? What in the world is going on?" In the midst of his surprise, Shen Luo suddenly noticed another odd thing.

The flow of spiritual energy in the heavens and earth around him had astonishingly returned to normal. He quickly circulated his divine soul, scanning his surroundings, but found nothing.

Shen Luo immediately soared into the high sky, looking around and beginning to carefully examine the mountain forest below.

All that met his eyes were plains and forests, interspersed with some lakes, neither the shadow of Two Realms Mountain nor any trace of Two Realms Town was to be seen.

"Could it be that everything I saw last night was nothing but a dream?" Shen Luo rubbed his eyes, suddenly frozen in place with bewilderment.
