The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 1709: Chapter 1706: Strange Occurrences

At the edge of Qingqiu City, a flash of green light streaked across the void, and the figures of Shen Luo and his two companions emerged, their complexions somewhat pale.

“What was that blood-colored beast that surged out from the black fog just now? Absolutely terrifying. Judging by its aura, it doesn’t seem to be a divine power of the Qingqiu lineage,” Hu Bugui said, clutching his chest, still shaken.

“The black fog carries traces of demonic Qi, so it should be a power of the Demon Clan,” Shen Luo said slowly.

“Demonic Qi? Could the Qingqiu Fox Clan really be colluding with the Demon Clan? Or perhaps members of the Demon Clan abducted the entire Fox Clan from Qingqiu City?” Nie Caizhu remarked in a grave tone.

“Relying solely on one prohibition to make any conclusions is premature. Whether the Qingqiu Fox Clan deliberately hid themselves or were abducted, the situation is far from ordinary. With just the three of us, reckless investigation is not the wisest choice,” Shen Luo replied.

“You’re right—we should head back and inform the others first. Investigating together would be better,” Nie Caizhu agreed.

However, Hu Bugui gazed in the direction of the royal palace in silence.

“Fox Friend, Qingqiu City is no longer safe ground. You should leave with us as well. If you stay inside my Free and Easy Mirror, the cultivators of various sects won’t detect you,” Shen Luo suggested.

“You are both correct, but if we all leave, the enemy will act even more brazenly. How about this? You return outside to inform the other cultivators of the situation here, and I’ll stay and continue the investigation. Perhaps I might uncover some clues,” Hu Bugui said after a moment of hesitation, looking up.
