"Forget it, since I've brought them to the City of Dolls, I've fulfilled my promise. I'll just leave them to their own devices," Shen Luo thought to himself.
These people came to the City of Dolls for different reasons. Since their paths were different, it was better for them to go their own ways.
"I wonder how Brother Fu is doing. It's really hard for him to accompany me this time." Shen Luo was annoyed. His eyes flashed with murderous intent.
If Fu Donglai was still alive, it would be fine. But if he had died in Gui Yan's hands, he would not let it go.
Thinking of this, Shen Luo slowly closed his eyes. He released his spiritual will to sense the mana imprint he left behind.
But soon, he opened his eyes again. He could not help but worry.
He did not lie when he told Elder Mei that he could sense the mana imprint. He was already quite deep into the Black Abyss Maze. The Yin Qi was thicker than before. The range of his spiritual will had shrunk again. It was less than a third of his usual range. Although he could still sense the existence of the mana imprint, it was so weak that it was almost undetectable.
Shen Luo glanced at the empty and wide passage in front of him. After a moment of thought, he decided to put on the Soft Smoke Silk Robe. Although the robe had been pierced through by the golden cannon, the spirit robe itself was not damaged.
He then took out an Invisibility Talisman. After injecting some mana into it, he stuck it in front of his chest.
Accompanied by a bright light from the talisman, a layer of white light slowly spread out and covered his entire body. His body then disappeared from the tunnel.
After Shen Luo hid his body, he started to rush into the tunnel.
As he rushed forward, he took out the golden cannon that he just got. He studied it and used his spiritual will to probe inside.
But just as his spiritual will entered the cannon, it was immediately pushed out by a soft force. It was the same as when he checked Yan Wushi's Flying Swallow Boat.
"Yan Wushi and Elder Mei seemed to recognize the tall female zombie king. Could it be that she was a disciple of Tianji City? Shen Luo thought to himself. "This golden cannon seems to be some kind of armor."
He then raised his eyebrows and imitated the disciples of Tianji City. He tried his best to condense his divine sense and slowly permeated it into the golden cannon. He also injected his mana into the cannon.
This time, he probed slightly with his divine sense, and a layer of faint golden light appeared on the cannon.
But that was it. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't really penetrate the golden cannon, let alone control it to attack.
"It seems that these Crescent Armors require a special secret method to control." Shen Luo shook his head regretfully. He put away the golden cannon and focused on advancing.
The passage was dim and filled with a damp and decaying smell. Moss had begun to grow on the ground. The passage was not too long, and it did not take long for them to reach the end again. There were several forks in the passage.
Shen Luo pondered for a moment, then stepped into the passage closest to the mana imprint and flew forward quickly.
Not long after, a "sha, sha" sound came from the front. It sounded like something was being dragged and rubbed against the ground.
He carefully came to the entrance of the passage and peeked out to take a look. In the end, he saw two Lunar Beasts, one on the left and one on the right, dragging a corpse on the ground by its ankles.
Behind the corpse, a long blood-red mark was dragged.
At this moment, the two Sound Beasts seemed to have sensed his presence. They stopped and looked at the entrance of the passage.
But in their eyes, other than the empty passage, they couldn't see anything.
However, the two Lunar Beasts still didn't leave. They wrinkled their noses, as if they wanted to use their sense of smell to determine if there was anything strange at the passage.
But at this moment, a human figure suddenly appeared behind them. Two dragon claws wrapped in golden light easily pierced through their heads and killed them.
Shen Luo withdrew his hands and dispersed the power of the Huangting Scripture. He didn't care about the two Lunar Beasts anymore. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the corpse they were dragging.
The corpse was a young man. Shen Luo was familiar with his appearance. He was a disciple of the Tianji City. He had been following the group, but he was very quiet. He didn't say a word along the way, even when he was with his senior.
It was because of this that Shen Luo had some impression of him.
"What an unlucky guy."
Shen Luo shook his head and sighed. He then noticed that on the ring finger of the male corpse's right hand, there was a golden metal ring. There was an exquisite sky blue gem embedded in it.
"A storage device …"
He raised his eyebrows and immediately lowered his body. He gently took the ring from the finger and began to use the Ninety-Nine Treasure Refining Technique to refine it quickly.
Opening the storage ring, Shen Luo waved his hand, and a few things in it floated in front of him.
Among them, two bowl-sized balls, one green and one red, were the most eye-catching. They were densely covered with spirit patterns. They were two Dacheng Realm armors, but they looked ordinary.
Besides the two Dacheng Realm armors, there was only a notebook made of kraft paper, some bottles and jars containing elixirs, and more than a dozen fist-sized white crystals.
Shen Luo checked those bottles and jars. The elixirs in them were ordinary. They were elixirs used by ordinary cultivators in the early stage of the Dacheng Realm. Their medicinal power was very limited, and they were not of much use to him.
As for those white crystals, they contained quite powerful spiritual power, far more than the ordinary Celestial Jade. However, the spiritual power was a bit chaotic and far less pure than the Celestial Jade.
As for the notebook, he looked carefully for a moment and found that it recorded the young man's cultivation experience, the records of refining Dacheng Realm armors, the experience of controlling puppets, and so on. There was also what he was most interested in, the secret technique of Tianji City to condense the power of the soul.
There was not much content in the notebook, but there was a lot of useful information for Shen Luo. It helped him to add a lot of knowledge about Tianji City and the Dacheng Realm.
It turned out that the manufacturing of Dacheng Realm armors imitated the body structure of humans and monsters.
The beginner level Dacheng Realm armors were slightly stronger than ordinary puppets. The materials used were sturdier, easier to control, and more powerful.
As for the intermediate level Dacheng Realm armors, its performance was better. It had the ability to passively use talismans, magical weapons, and other items, but it still required the owner to control it.
Moreover, not everyone could control this level of Dacheng Realm armors. The Dacheng Realm armors refined by Tianji City were the same as magic treasures. They had to be refined with a unique technique before they could be activated. Furthermore, controlling the Dacheng Realm armors had a high requirement for the power of the soul. Tianji City had a Tianji Soul Forging Art. After cultivation, not only could it condense the soul, it could also strengthen the power of the soul.
With this art, Tianji City had developed to the extent it was today.
