Chapter 923: No Such Person
Zong Shou suddenly felt as if he was at a loss, asking subconsciously, “Senior, can you tell me your name?”
The woman smiled, “You don’t have to call me Senior, I am actually not that old. Just call me Lu Hanyan.”
“Lu Hanyan?”
Zong Shou felt an explosion in his soul, like thunder.
Then, there was a blur, he thought to himself who was Lu Hanyan? Did he know her?
He was dizzy for a moment before his heart surged and he suddenly came to his senses.
No! This was deduction...
The moment such a thought rose up, it sunk back down into his heart.
He thought back to what this woman was saying, what her name was. He didn’t remember anymore.
Was it due to the jail restrictions that affected his sight and hearing? Or were there gaps in his memory?
At this moment, he was too embarrassed to ask anymore as he could only nod his head, “I got it!”
He looked into his body and felt his Energy Meridians flowing backward and blood was trying to burst out.
Luckily, his True Qi and Soul Power had recovered to their peak. His meridians had recovered to a large extent after a day of regeneration.
He was planning to rest for a period of time but since the Nether Gate was guarded by a Formless God Demon, then there was no need to do so.
He also didn’t know this woman, but for some reason, he subconsciously believed what she said.
He took in a deep breath and was about to step into the black mist when the woman persuaded, “Little Brother, that Formless God Demon is really fierce. I have been here for 20 years and seen numerous people barge in only to end tragically. Your cultivation is weak and most probably your life will be in danger. You shouldn’t go.”
Zong Shou felt warm in his heart and then he shook his head.
Just like how this woman was not willing to escape from the restrictions despite knowing the pain and suffering she would have to continue to endure, he had to charge into this Ninth Layer regardless of the danger.
He didn’t say anything more as he teleported 10 miles away in a flash.
He hesitated for just a moment in front of the black mist before walking in without much care.
The energy within the mist was much darker and colder.
Not only was the Death Energy here so thick that it could pretty much take physical form, but there was also a power that confused one’s mind.
If one used their eyes to look around, one would definitely see illusions forming.
However, Zong Shou was using the Illusionary Heart Mirror, so he wasn’t affected.
He walked toward the center of the mist. He took a few steps before he heard an arrogant laugh by his ear.
The voice was really sharp and sinister as it shook his eardrums.
Just as he felt wary, he saw a Sword Light slashed down from the sky in the distance.
The aura was vast and grand, like a mountain pressing down that couldn’t be blocked.
Peak God Realm?
Zong Shou subconsciously was tempted to dodge the sword tip.
However, he gritted his tongue, going forward instead of backward. His body flashed as he stabbed forward with the Nameless Sword in his hand.
If he couldn’t defeat the enemy with this sword, then he would die!
Numerous Sword Lights and numerous Blade Energies intersected and the sounds of metal clashing rang out.
Zong Shou flew 200 feet away. He waved his hand and the One Origin Spirit Sword left his Soul Ocean and appeared beside him.
Using the Nine Dragon Shadow Sword Return to One Technique, hundreds of swords slashed out in an instant.
They rejected all the chasing energies and spells from 100 feet away!
37 Imperial Dao Dragon Tooth Swords were spread 100 feet away too.
The Sword Formation formed and the 10,000-foot space was covered in Sword Energy.
Only now was Zong Shou able to “see” the situation in front of him.
There were dozens of stoned cultivators who were surrounding him. Apart from their stunned expressions, they looked no different from God Realm Cultivators.
Zong Shou didn’t panic as his eyes showed a cold intent.
These were Shadow Puppets!
The Shadow Demon crushed their souls and consciousnesses, controlling them, making them its puppets.
However, such mindless puppets weren’t able to use the Daos they grasped when they were alive.
Rather than say they were God Realm, they were more like stronger Celestial Realm Cultivators with abundant True Qi.
This why although there were a dozen of them, they weren’t worth a mention in his eyes.
What he cared more about was where the Sword Light came from.
That sword had a far weaker aura than his and everything was just an illusion.
The Formless God Demon could affect his thoughts to make him think that way. However, it couldn’t hide anything from him in true combat.
Actually, the Illusionary Heart Mirror had shone everything into his Soul Ocean from start to finish.
The Formless God Demon just wrapped around it and struck his soul.
However, it found out that he was resilient and firm and that normal methods wouldn’t be able to shake him.
Thus, he laughed to try to make him wary, to create a chance to strike.
It then formed an illusion of that shocking sword in his mind.
Just now, he only needed to instinctively dodge and he would fall into the trap of this Formless God Demon, step by step.
Although he had broken through the God Demon’s methods, he didn’t dare to relax at all. Instead, he became more careful.
Not only was this Shadow Demon skilled, its methods were amazing too.
It entered every hole and one couldn’t defend against it!
In the next instant, he saw a teen with a red mole on his face walking over.
He looked at Zong Shou and then at the green mirror before saying with a weird gaze, “Aura of the Sky Burning Flame. You are one of the Young Masters, one of the princes? Why? I have a contract with your Lu Family to not harm anyone with pure blood.”
Zong Shou frowned. Due to this bloodline, no matter where he went, people would link him with the Lu Family.
Although his name was within their direct bloodline name list, he didn’t consider himself one.
He hated the terms ‘Young Master’ and ‘Prince’.
He shook his head and cast aside all his thoughts.
“I want to enter the Ninth Layer, will you help me find my way?”
The Formless God Demon didn’t have a body and it was using the body of a puppet to speak to him.
Its combat strength was reduced by half a grade, but during the fight just now, its sword was already stronger than his.
Although he didn’t fear him, it was best if he didn’t fight him.
After all, if he used the power of the Illusionary Heart Mirror to suppress it, he would have to use up some lifespan.
The Formless God Demon laughed, “Do you have a Saint Dynasty decree? If you have, then take it out and I won’t stop you!”
Seeing Zong Shou frown, it understood. Its expression turned dark and cold, its eyes became icy cold.
“Without a decree, you are making things tough for me.”
The Formless God Demon said this and then smiled with a weird expression, “You are entering the Ninth Layer to search for Lu Hanyan? She is your mother? However, based on what I remember, there is no such woman in the Ninth Layer...”
Zong Shou was shocked at how this Formless God Demon was able to read his thoughts and his body shuddered.
