Chapter 896: Chapter 893: A Dream of Yellow Millet Chapter 896: Chapter 893: A Dream of Yellow Millet Affected by the chaos of the Heaven and Earth Aura, Shen Luo was only able to perceive a very limited range, and the Demon Qi he sensed was also extremely faint, not realizing something was amiss until this moment.
“Ah…” But no sooner had he spoken than a dreadful scream suddenly came from the backyard.
Immediately after, there was a sound of “crash crash” as roof tiles shattered.
The noisy clamor in the courtyard drowned out the sounds behind it, and only Shen Luo sensed that something was wrong. He put down his wine cup and vanished from the midst of the crowd like a ghostly specter.
He had just reached the entrance of the courtyard door when he saw a Lu Mansion servant, his face stricken with horror, running out from behind, flailing his arms and shouting incoherently, “Ah, there's, there's a demon, a… a demon ah…”
“What happened?” Shen Luo grabbed the servant by the collar and demanded.
The servant was completely panicked by now, trembling violently and reeking of an unpleasant odor as Shen Luo held him up.
Shen Luo channeled a thread of Mana into his body to calm him down before asking, “Speak, what did you see?”
“A marten, a large white marten, as big as a house, it took away the Madam, took her away…” It was only then that the servant finally regained some sense and reported to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo released his grip, and the servant immediately collapsed to the ground, fainting.
Without any hesitation, Shen Luo leapt, instantly arriving at the doorway of the newlyweds' room in the backyard.
Outside the room lay two maids; Shen Luo bent down to check on them and found both were just unconscious, which was a relief.
He straightened up and pushed open the wooden door that was bolted from the inside, walking in.
Upon entering, Shen Luo saw overturned tables and chairs with dried fruits such as peanuts, dates, and lotus seeds scattered on the floor, but there was no sign of the bride and groom.
There was a water jar-sized hole in the roof, exposing the dark clouds and moonlight above.
By now, people from the front courtyard had gotten wind of the situation and came towards this side in a disorderly crowd.
Shen Luo's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and with a leap, he swept out through the big hole in the roof, hovering in the sky a hundred feet high, surveying his surroundings. Beyond the moonlight on the dark mountain forest, nothing else could be seen.
“It's an Immortal Lord, it's the Immortal Lord…” At this time, the townspeople below also spotted Shen Luo above, and they all knelt down, worshipping ceaselessly.
Shen Luo looked towards the deep forest behind Two Realms Town and saw a blurry mountain shadow with undulating peaks and valleys, which seemed to be the collapsed Two Realms Mountain mentioned by the townsfolk.
He had the intuition that if there was a demonic presence, it was most likely related to that area. He soared straight towards it without delay.
“Whoosh whoosh”
Wind whistled past Shen Luo's ears as he flew for quite some time but was surprised to find that the distance to the mountain shadow was not getting closer; instead, it seemed to be growing farther away.
A tinge of surprise arose in his heart, so he immediately halted, looking around to realize that he was indeed flying toward the mountain shadow and that the distance from Two Realms Town was also increasing.
However, for some reason, the distance to the mountain shadow was actually growing farther away.
“Could there be some kind of Spatial Array at work, or is some Illusion Technique causing mischief?” Shen Luo was astounded.
His eyes narrowed as he probed further, but still, he found nothing.
The Aura of Heaven and Earth here was simply too chaotic; not to mention that divine soul had little use, even the efficacy of the Pupil Technique became extremely limited once a certain distance was reached.
Shen Luo hesitated for a moment before stretching out his arms, and a sudden burst of gold and silver light shimmered on his arms. His figure blurred in an instant as he began to use the Thousand-mile Wing Flapping Technique and disappeared from his original spot.
A streak of light flashed through the void thousands of miles away, and the figure of Shen Luo emerged.
After he stabilized his figure, he looked down at the surroundings below once more.
This time, Shen Luo was stunned on the spot, seeing the town below brightly lit, with cries and wails emanating from a mansion in the center. It was still the Two Realms Town.
“How could this be?” puzzled, Shen Luo looked up again toward the distance, only to see the silhouette of Two Realms Mountain still looming beyond the mountain forest.
He frowned deeply, with gold and silver light sparkling on his arms, and used the Thousand-mile Wing Flapping Technique once again.
When his figure reappeared, the ancient town was gone beneath him, but he still had not reached Two Realms Mountain–instead, he was above a section of mountain forest.
As he
