The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1755 - 1751: 3 Questions

"Mi Su, if I’m not mistaken, you must be the true Fox Ancestor, correct?" Shen Luo, hearing Fire Spirit Child’s words, calmly dispersed the mana he had gathered. He raised his hand to stop Nie Caizhu and the other two, who were about to make their moves, before speaking in a low voice.

"Oh, and what makes you think this way, Friend Shen?" Mi Su glanced over and asked indifferently.

"First, your breath is entirely different from that of Chief Strategist You Su and Tu Shanxue. The power of the Fox Ancestor in you shows no sign of turbulence. To control this power so perfectly, who else could achieve this besides the Fox Ancestor herself?" Shen Luo slowly explained.

"Makes sense. And second?" Mi Su’s lips curved slightly as she continued asking.

"I’ve personally experienced the power of the Fox Ancestor. It is invincible, untamed, and extremely hard to control. Earlier, Chief Strategist You Su relied on a great formation to extract the Fox Ancestor’s power from Tu Shanxue’s body. That formation was destroyed during the recent battle. Yet, without external assistance, you easily took away Chief Strategist You Su’s power. This once again proves your absolute mastery over the Fox Ancestor’s power." Shen Luo continued speaking.

"And third, because your refined corpse and ghost pet were hiding in the shadows, listening to my earlier conversation with Chief Strategist You Su, isn’t that right?" Mi Su sneered slightly and stamped her foot sharply on the ground.

"Boom!" "Boom!" Two loud explosions followed as the distant ground suddenly burst apart, sending two crimson light pillars shooting into the sky. Two figures emerged with the red light—it was the Sky Fiend Corpse King and Zhao Feiji.

Shen Luo’s brow furrowed as he witnessed this scene.

"All this talking—is it just to stall for time until Lu Huaming and the others from the mountain come to the rescue, while also trying to refine the Dayan Immeasurable Heavenly Array? I can sense a force swiftly gaining control over the formation." Mi Su said leisurely.

Shen Luo was startled inside, realizing all his calculations had been laid bare by Mi Su, though his expression remained composed.

"Composure in the face of danger, steady as a mountain, and skillful at leveraging every power in your grasp—no wonder Tu Shanxue and Chief Strategist You Su were no match for you. Pity, such a pity, that you are not of the Qingqiu Fox Clan." Mi Su remarked approvingly as she observed Shen Luo’s calm demeanor.

"Mi Su, you flatter me. Since you’ve seen through all my arrangements, let’s settle this with true strength!" Shen Luo said lightly as the War God Whip and Profound Yellow Staff in his hands began to shimmer, accompanied by the emergence of sixteen Pure Yang Swords.

Nie Caizhu and the other two also readied their magical treasures, prepared to strike upon Shen Luo’s command.

Though Mi Su appeared enigmatic, her breath was only at the Taiyi Late Stage, far inferior to Tu Shanxue or Chief Strategist You Su. Hence, the four were unafraid.

"I have had enough today. I have no interest in continuing this battle with you." Mi Su said dismissively, waving her hand.

Shen Luo looked surprised, while Nie Caizhu and the other two were equally stunned but secretly relieved. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"What do you mean by this, Your Excellency?" Shen Luo asked, his brows slightly furrowed.

"In this clash between the Qingqiu Fox Clan and your various sects, it is the Qingqiu Fox Clan that has lost. Since the outcome is already determined, why engage in futile combat? Let us part ways here—until we meet again." Mi Su said calmly, turning to leave.

"Wait a moment. You still haven’t answered my question. Are you the Fox Ancestor?" Shen Luo reacted swiftly, with thunder light flashing under his feet as he moved to block Mi Su.

Nie Caizhu and the others jumped in fright at the sight.

The Fox Ancestor’s power had already fallen into Mi Su’s hands. Taking it back was nearly impossible. Although Mi Su appeared to be at the Taiyi Late Stage, there was no telling what other formidable methods she might possess. Her willingness to cease fighting was a fortunate turn of events—why provoke her to anger? Shen Luo’s intention to block her baffled the others.

Although they didn’t approve of Shen Luo’s actions, they didn’t voice their discontent. Instead, they flew closer to him.

"Bold of you. I said I didn’t want to fight anymore, but I wouldn’t mind killing a few overreaching fools." A trace of murderous intent flickered in Mi Su’s eyes.

"I’ve fought enough for today. Answer me a few questions, and I’ll clear the path for you." Shen Luo appeared unperturbed by Mi Su’s intent and spoke calmly.

"You really think I wouldn’t kill you?" Mi Su’s face turned cold as a grim aura engulfed her, her garments fluttering without wind, and a wave of intense killing intent engulfed the four.

Nie Caizhu, Bai Xiaotian, and Master Yan felt their hearts tighten and instinctively gripped their magical treasures as their mana surged to its peak.

"There’s no need to push yourself. I may not know if you’re truly the Fox Ancestor, but forcibly extracting the Fox Ancestor’s power from Chief Strategist You Su has drained a large portion of your vitality. You’re nothing but a shell right now—stop putting on an act." Shen Luo scoffed coldly.

Nie, Bai, and Yan looked surprised and scrutinized Mi Su closely.

"Ha, good insight. Indeed, my vitality is running low, but dealing with you junior cultivators is still effortless." Mi Su’s eyes narrowed as she replied coldly.

"Of course, Your Excellency’s cultivation is profound. If you’re determined to leave, even if the four of us join forces, we might not block you. But it won’t be easy for you to leave unscathed either." Shen Luo said calmly.

Mi Su’s brows furrowed slightly, and she remained silent.

"I won’t press the matter further. As long as Your Excellency answers three questions, I’ll clear the path. How does that sound?" Shen Luo asked.

"Fine. Given the slight favor you’ve shown toward this body, I’ll answer a few questions. Go ahead and ask." Mi Su glanced at Shen Luo as she slowly withdrew her killing intent.

"First question: Are you truly the Fox Ancestor?" Shen Luo fixed his gaze firmly on Mi Su as he asked.

Mi Su let out a faint snort, just about to answer.

"Wait. How can we trust that what you say is true? Mi Su, before answering, you should take a Heart Demon Oath to ensure honesty." Master Yan suddenly interrupted.

Bai Xiaotian and Nie Caizhu nodded in agreement.

"We of the Fox Clan never take Heart Demon Oaths. If you doubt my words, then let us settle this in combat." Mi Su’s lips curved lightly as she dismissed Master Yan’s suggestion with a hint of disdain.

"Although today is the first time I’ve met Friend Mi Su, I can see that Your Excellency is not someone who speaks in contradictions. There’s no need for oaths. Please, Friend Mi Su, go ahead and answer my question." Shen Luo raised a hand to stop Master Yan, speaking calmly.

His Ghost Eye of the Netherworld excelled in observing subtle details, allowing him to judge whether someone’s words were truthful based on their expressions and eye movements. After being imbued with demonic qi, its power had significantly increased. Even if Mi Su’s cultivation had reached the Taiyi Late Stage, Shen Luo was confident in discerning her lies.

"The Fox Ancestor perished during ancient times. I am her reincarnation." Mi Su glanced at Shen Luo unexpectedly and replied with a calm tone.

"The reincarnation of the Fox Ancestor—so that’s how it is." Shen Luo’s eyes lit with a sudden realization.

Under the scrutiny of his Ghost Eye of the Netherworld, he confirmed that Mi Su wasn’t lying.

"Were the two attacks on Chang’an City and everything happening now on Qingqiu Mountain orchestrated by Your Excellency?" Shen Luo continued to ask.
