Chapter 226 Law Enforcement Elder Guards the World (40)

Bai Tang said, “Why didn’t you put it on? If you had, you wouldn’t have been injured by these bones.”

Shen Zhuo took out the garment, performed a spell, and instantly donned it. He then said softly, “Master, I’ve put it on.”

Bai Tang praised him, “You’ve done well, A’Zhuo. Even during training outside, you must protect yourself. Also, make sure to carry the Fleeting Life Mirror I gave you. The news of your training outside may not stay hidden. My seal on Shen Zhongming lasts only three years; he wouldn’t dare cause trouble at the Divine Movement Sect or seek me out. But if he knows you are training outside, he will come looking for you. Be very careful and don’t provoke him. If anything seems amiss, immediately use the Fleeting Life Mirror. Even at the ends of the earth or in the Extreme North or the Abyss, I will come to you.”

Shen Zhuo gently rubbed the Fleeting Life Mirror and whispered, “I remember, Master.”

“Master, many people have died here unjustly.”

Shen Zhuo stated this calmly. Many dead could produce intense yin energy, and only those who had died unjustly became Yin Bone Soldiers.

Bai Tang said, “What a malicious person, not even sparing the remains of others after death.”

Shen Zhuo simply replied, “I haven’t repeated the same mistakes.”

“This is a good thing, this is truly a rebirth. The Yin Bone King is appearing.” Bai Tang frowned, watching the pile of white bones in the distance. They split and reassembled into a towering three-meter-high structure of bones.

“Indeed, it’s so ugly it hurts the eyes, Master.” Shen Zhuo averted his gaze in silence.

Fang Xingyun: “…”

Was he the only one nervous here? This creepy thing is terrifying!

“Seeing it up close is cruel. Little disciple, close your eyes. It would be bad to hurt your eyes.”

Her power was too bright.

“Master, call me when you’ve resolved it.” Shen Zhuo obediently shielded his eyes but not before glaring at Fang Xingyun. “Close your eyes!”

Fang Xingyun: “…”

Fine, he closed his eyes.

Little Junior Brother was actually fine; it was just that his mouth wasn’t very nice.

Bai Tang began to cast a spell. Even from thousands of miles away, a massive killing formation descended, encompassing all the emerging white bones. The array formation activated, emitting a dazzling light as bright as daylight.

Even with eyes closed, the light was palpable.

Opening his eyes might have resulted in temporary blindness, and Fang Xingyun was now quite grateful for Shen Zhuo’s warning.

“Alright, you can open your eyes now.”

When they did, Shen Zhuo and Fang Xingyun saw that not a single white bone remained. The protective restriction around them had vanished.

Shen Zhuo noticed a layer of gray-white dust on the ground and smiled faintly. “Master is truly impressive.”

The multitude of white bones had turned to ash.

Shen Zhuo felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this scene, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Bai Tang glanced at the darkness. “In a place where one cannot see their hand in front of their face, everyone can become a night pearl. Little disciple, go help A’Jin and the others. The Jadewood Demon is difficult to deal with, and they are trapped.”

Shen Zhuo replied, “Okay, Master.”

Fang Xingyun said, “Understood, Elder.”

Bai Tang severed the connection with the Fleeting Life Mirror and sighed softly. For now, she set aside the primordial spiritual treasure of the Extreme North. She had promised Shen Zhuo that she would fulfill her word.

She didn’t know when they would meet again, so she needed to prepare in advance. Otherwise, if their next meeting was soon, she would risk breaking her promise and disappointing him.

The world was full of flavors—sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty—just the basics, which extended into countless variations, each more enchanting than the last.

Shen Zhuo had almost no cravings for food, but Bai Tang had bought all sorts of candies, while Zhong Jin loved pastries, so she brought some for him as well. They were all her disciples, and though Zhong Jin was very sensible, as their Master, she couldn’t show favoritism.

Shen Zhuo and Fang Xingyun arrived quickly. Zhong Jin and the others were engaged in a stalemate with the Jadewood Demon. The demon was indeed troublesome, having drained much of their strength.

Shen Zhuo swiftly severed a branch that was trying to ambush Zhong Jin.
