The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 280 - 278: Yu Guan’s Warning
Chapter 280: Chapter 278: Yu Guan’s Warning
Yu Guan’s round head suddenly dropped down, mumbling something under his breath. He ignored Shen Luo and made them puzzled by his reaction.
“Mr. Yu Guan?” Shen Luo waited for a while, but Yu Guan still showed no sign of speaking. He exchanged a glance with Xie Yuxin before calling out to him.
“Just now, Master contacted me about the trading conference, so you had to wait. I apologize,” Yu Guan finally lifted his head.
“That’s alright. But I’m wondering if there’s any reason why you’re keeping us here?” Shen Luo shook his head, continuing his line of inquiry.
“I don’t have any matters, but it seems like you do,” Yu Guan grinned, saying nothing more while he casually waved his petite, chubby hand.
A white light burst out from his hand, transforming into a white light wheel the size of a wash basin, whirling around.
The light wheel revealed an image of two silhouettes walking. Those were undoubtedly Black Pattern and the Blood Robe Attendant.
“Call all the Ghostly Nether Guards immediately and disperse them at the valley exit. We need to keep a tight watch on that human cultivator and Li Shuang! They dared to cause me such humiliation; I want them dead! We also need to retrieve the three Earth Spirit Pills,” Black Pattern’s eyes filled with bloodshot, his face full of wrathful roars.
“Young Master, those two human cultivators are not very strong, so killing them isn’t difficult. However, regarding Li Shuang, from my observations, his cultivation level might have reached the Soul Condensation Stage. Even if we use all the Ghostly Nether Guards, we might not be able to detain him. If he escapes, things could get complicated. It will also be hard to account to the Black Mountain Ancestor,” the Blood Robe Attendant hesitantly replied.
“What if that’s the case? I have lost too much face today; should I just let it go?” Black Pattern growled.
“Offending a typical Soul Condensation Stage cultivator might not matter, but Li Shuang is an Underworld Yin God. The Black Mountain Ancestor probably doesn’t want to offend the Underworld either,” the Blood Robe Attendant explained, subtly bringing up the Black Mountain Ancestor.
Upon hearing this, Black Pattern’s expressions changed, and after a few moments, begrudgingly, he added, “In that case, consider Li Shuang lucky! But those two human cultivators must be killed for me. They must be painfully tortured by a thousand cuts and have their soul refined, to vent my resentment.”
“Yes!” The Blood Robe Attendant sighed in relief and promptly agreed.
The white light wheel started to dim down and completely disappeared after a few breaths.
Shen Luo’s face looked serious; while he had guessed Black Pattern wouldn’t let things go, he hadn’t expected they would energetically resort to murder and looting.
“Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Yu Guan,” he said, hastily expressing his gratitude to Yu Guan.
Seeing the situation inside the light wheel, Xie Yuxin’s face also darkened. She thanked Yu Guan as well.
“While there are rules against any squabble within the Ghost Market, once you leave this place, this prohibition is rendered obsolete. Incidents of murder and robbery are not unheard of. As we have had the pleasure of getting to know each other, I thought it best to warn both of you. Be careful after the Ghost Market ends,” Yu Guan said, an earnest expression on his little face.
Shen Luo and Xie Yuxin thanked him again, feeling worried inside.
Even if they knew that Black Pattern and their companions were waiting for them outside, what could they do? The valley only had one exit. Once they exited, they would inevitably be intercepted. Judging by their cultivation levels, it wouldn’t be easy to escape alive.
“When the Ghost Market was established here that year, a secret passage leading to the outside world was built near the Green Moon Cliff deep in the valley. I wonder if it is still open,” Yu Guan said to himself as he walked towards the deeper part of the hall.
“Thank you for guiding us, Mr. Yu Guan. Is there anything we could help you within our ability to express our gratitude?”, Shen Luo said with joy, bowing to Yu Guan once more to show gratitude, and then asking.
“I’ve heard that there’s a lot of delicious food in the Human Realm, but I can’t go there,” Yu Guan mumbled, disappearing into the deeper part of the hall.
“Yes, we understand,” Shen Luo agreed, then quickly left with Xie Yuxin.
In the deep part of the hall, Yu Guan reached a passageway where the two masked men were standing.
“Mr. Yu Guan, does that human boy have any special traits that warrant such favor from you? Even letting him know about the secret passage of the Ghost Market,” the shorter masked man hesitated for a moment before asking.
“He’s an interesting guy, but whether he can leave or not still depends on his own destiny,” Yu Guan lazily stretched and bounced down the passageway with gleeful hops.
Both tall and short masked men revealed helpless looks in their eyes as they trailed behind.

Upon leaving Impermanence Pavilion, Shen Luo and Xie Yuxin immediately headed towards the deeper part of the valley to find the Green Moon Cliff that Yu Guan had mentioned.
The deeper part of the valley was a desolate wasteland. Just like the outside, it was covered with fragments of stone, presenting a bleak sight.
They quickly arrived at the deepest part of the valley, where chains of cliffs blocked their path. Prohibition above the valley enveloped the sky, preventing them from flying over at high altitude.
On the eastern sky, streaks of white light were rising, slightly brighter than before.
“Brother Shen, what time is it now?” Xie Yuxin asked anxiously.
“The sixth period of Yin!” replied Shen Luo, who had gauged the time by probing the circulation of blood and Qi in his body.
“It’s almost dawn, we need to work faster. If we are late, we won’t be able to return to the Human Realm!” Xie Yuxin said in worried tone.
“Unable to leave? How so?” Shen Luo’s brows twitched subtly as he asked for clarity.
“The Ghost Market opens in the borderline of Yin and Yang, and it will close and disappear when day breaks. If we fail to leave in time, we will be stranded in this Yin-Yang borderline, unable to return to the Human Realm or enter the Underworld.” Xie Yuxin explained solemnly.
“That serious!” Shen Luo’s eyes dilated slightly and he began to search fervently for Green Moon Cliff.
Xie Yuxin, also started searching around.
“Elder Brother Xie, come here quickly!” Shen Luo called after some searching, spotting the green cliff, markedly different from the surrounding cliffs.
At his call, Xie Yuxin rushed over, looking at the green stone cliff and feeling its chilly touch, her eyes brightened.
“This is a Green Moon Stone, it seems we’ve found it, let’s find the passage.” She said joyfully.
They began to investigate the vicinity of the cliff, but the sheer size of the area made it hard to survey entirely at once.
Shen Luo, an idea in his eyes, moved his hand into his embrace and took out a stack of yellow talismans.
He pulled out a talisman from the bottom of the stack, inserted his mana into it, and a bright white light radiated from the talisman, forming a white light group of about one meter in diameter, stable and undispersed. It was the “Treasure-hunting Talisman” he had figured out on his own.
“Brother Shen, what are you doing?” Xie Yuxin asked as she looked over.
“Finding the passage.” Shen Luo responded simply, holding the talisman and walking alongside the green cliff.
The white light group shone onto the green cliff, making it appear semi-transparent just like the stones before.
Xie Yuxin, upon seeing this, looked surprised, and a touch of curiosity flashed in her eyes as she looked at Shen Luo.
Shen Luo walked along the cliff for a while and suddenly stopped.
The white light group shone onto a particular area of the cliff and revealed a hazy black void inside.
“It seems to be here.” Xie Yuxin rushed over and started exploring the nearby cliff.
