"Golden Crow Descends!" Huo Tong roared and struck out with his palm.
The surrounding golden flames rolled and gathered. In an instant, a three-legged Golden Crow, which was hundreds of feet long, appeared. It spread its wings and pounced on Shen Luo.
Before the Golden Crow arrived, the void around Shen Luo turned fiery red. It fluctuated violently as if the whole space was about to be ignited.
When Shen Luo saw this, he was not surprised but happy. He formed a seal with his hands in front of him, and a blue light burst out from his body. There were also traces of white light mixed in it, and it collided with the Three-legged Golden Crow.
The expected loud collision did not occur. There was only a soft sound. The three-legged Golden Crow disappeared out of thin air, and the blue light on Shen Luo's body dissipated.
"Where is my Golden Crow True Fire? Why did it suddenly disappear? You took away my True Fire! "Huo Tong was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and roared at Shen Luo.
Zhang Chuan and the other golden-robed old man widened their eyes. They could not believe what they saw.
They knew the power of the Golden Crow True Fire. It could even burn an upper-grade magic weapon. How could it be easily blocked by the opponent's inconspicuous blue light?
Shen Luo raised his hand and patted his sleeves. The last wisp of blue light on his body dissipated. He said faintly, "The three strikes are over. Is it okay?"
Huo Tong stared at Shen Luo, and his eyes turned blood-red.
The Golden Crow True Fire in his Chasing Sun Sword was reduced by more than 60%. The device spirit of the Golden Crow was greatly damaged. It was still unknown whether it could recover in the future. He was so angry that even three rivers and four seas could not extinguish it.
However, Shen Luo's Divine Sense was mysterious. He did not understand what Divine Sense he had used to take away his Golden Crow True Fire. It would be difficult for him to gain the upper hand if he continued to fight.
At this moment, several escape lights shot out from the imperial city. Obviously, the cultivators in the palace had noticed the movement here.
"Let's go!" Huo Tong waved his sleeves fiercely and turned to walk away.
When Zhang Chuan saw Shen Luo's Divine Sense, he understood the gap between them. He put away his arrogant attitude and followed Huo Tong without saying a word.
Shen Luo turned his head to look at the several escaping lights that were flying towards him. His figure flashed, and he disappeared into thin air.
A few streaks of flowing light soon landed where the two were fighting, revealing a few worshippers of the imperial court.
These consecrators were not weak. Looking at the traces of melting and freezing on the ground, they could feel the terrifying power of the person who cast the spell.
They looked at each other and quickly cleaned up the traces. Then, they turned around and flew towards the Imperial Astronomer to inform Yuan Tiangang of what had happened here.
In a remote alley near the government office of the Tang Empire, a green light flashed and Shen Luo appeared out of thin air.
He flipped his hand and took out an item. It was the Stately Painting. There was an additional ball of golden flames on the painting. It was the Golden Crow Primordial Fire.
"Haha, Shen Daoyou, you are really skillful. You got a ball of Golden Crow Primordial Fire just like that. I admire you." Huo Lingzi laughed.
Shen Luo did not reveal a complacent look. Fire Boy's Golden Crow Primordial Fire was extremely powerful. If it were not for the Mountain River Map, the most precious treasure of the Heavenly Way, he would not have been able to subdue the Three-legged Golden Crow so easily.
"Fellow Taoist Huo, can I trouble you to refine the impurities in this ball of flame and restore it to the pure Golden Crow Primordial Fire?" He asked.
"Sure, what do you want to do with it?" Huo Lingzi asked.
"You will know in the future." Shen Luo laughed and took out the Dark Fire Furnace.
Huo Lingzi murmured but did not hear clearly. He controlled the Dark Fire Furnace to fly to the Stately Painting and absorb the Golden Crow Primordial Fire into the furnace.
Shen Luo flicked his sleeves and put away the furnace. Soon, he returned to his residence.
"Big Brother Shen, you are back. Why did you go out for so long?" Mi Su walked over quickly and said with a pout.
"I went out to investigate those demons. I spent some time. Did anything happen here?" Shen Luo rubbed Mi Su's head.
Mi Su smiled as her head was pressed. She seemed to enjoy it and shook her head like a spoiled child.
"Big Brother Shen, you worked hard for a day. Did you find anything?" Mi Su asked after acting spoiled.
Shen Luo did not hide anything from Mi Su. He told her about the investigation.
"Actually, I had nothing to do here today. I was thinking about how to investigate those demons. I thought of a way that might work," Mi Su said.
"You have a way?" Shen Luo's eyes widened.
"The living people do not know. Those who died in the attack might know something," Mi Su said.
"Dead people? That's right. Why didn't I think of that? "Shen Luo was slightly surprised and stood up.
He walked to the table and sat down. He sent his divine sense into the Glittering Jewel Ring and took out a blank talisman paper and some spiritual materials. He quickly prepared the talisman ink.
After a while, a bottle of black talisman ink was completed.
Shen Luo took out a talisman brush and drew on the talisman paper. He quickly completed a black talisman and channeled his magic power into it.
The black talisman suddenly shattered silently. A large amount of black fog was produced and turned into a black whirlpool that spun continuously.
"Whoosh!" A tall horse-face jumped out. It was the Soul Hooking Horse-Face that Shen Luo met in his early years.
The black talisman was the spiritual contract that the Soul Hooking Horse-Face gave him in the past. He had used it long ago. However, with his current cultivation, it was not difficult to draw another one.
Although Mi Su was young, she was also a cultivator. She was not afraid when she saw the Soul Hooking Horse-Face. Instead, she sized him up curiously.
"Who summoned me? You are … Shen Luo! "The Soul Hooking Horse-Face saw Shen Luo's appearance and was shocked.
"Fellow Taoist Horse-Face, long time no see." Shen Luo greeted him with a smile.
"Oh, yes, we haven't seen each other for more than a hundred years. Eh, your cultivation!" The Soul Hooking Horse-Face was a little emotional. However, he immediately noticed Shen Luo's cultivation and his eyes widened.
"I have received help from an expert and had some fortuitous encounters over the years. I have already reached the True Immortal Stage." Shen Luo did not hide his cultivation and said frankly.
The Soul Hooking Horse-Face was speechless. He had been diligent in the affairs of the Underworld over the years. Coupled with some fortuitous encounters, his cultivation had improved a lot. He had already broken through the Great Vehicle Stage. Among the many Yin Masters in the Underworld, his progress was considered extremely fast. However, compared to Shen Luo, it was nothing.
"Shen Daoyou … No, Senior Shen, why did you summon me?" The Soul Hooking Horse-Face coughed and asked respectfully.
"We are old acquaintances. I have received help from Fellow Taoist Horse-Face many times in the past. There is no need to be so distant. You and I can continue to address each other as fellow Taoist." Shen Luo said with a faint smile.
"In that case, I will overstep my boundaries." The Soul Hooking Horse-Face scratched his head and smiled. He was secretly relieved.
He was also a proud and arrogant person. In the past, he had helped Shen Luo many times. Naturally, he was unwilling to address him as senior.
"I summoned Fellow Taoist Horse-Face today because of the attack on Chang 'an City yesterday. I believe Fellow Taoist Horse-Face already knows about it." Shen Luo started to talk about serious matters.
"This matter has already shaken the world. Everyone in the Three Realms knows about it. Naturally, I know about it." The Soul Hooking Horse-Face nodded.
"I am cooperating with the Tang Empire's government to investigate the cause of the demons' disturbance. Unfortunately, I have not found any clues. Many people were killed in this disturbance. Their souls have already entered the Underworld. These people may know something. Therefore, I want to go to the Underworld and talk to these people's souls. I wonder if Fellow Taoist Horse-Face can arrange it?" Shen Luo cupped his hands and said.
"This …" The Soul Hooking Horse-Face hesitated.
