Chapter 777: Ten Thousand Cities Refuge

In the clearing, the black-robed figure slowly spoke.

As he spoke, the Luminous Pearl in his hand suddenly burst forth with a dazzling radiance.

A multi-colored light emerged, illuminating everything around them.

From a distance, a cold and sinister aura surged forward, its target the black-robed figure.

When the sinister aura touched the light, the light immediately dissipated.

The black-robed figure took two steps back, a dimness appearing in his eyes. His tone was ice-cold.

“Hmph. Chen the Dog, I’ve only been here for a moment and you’ve already found me.”

“Truly one of the top experts in the Great Zhou Country. A good thing I only sent a clone.”

As his voice faded, the black-robed figure began to turn to ash, starting from the top of his head.

…

Shen Bai didn’t know what happened next. By this time, he had already arrived at the Cangnan Dao Observatory.

Daoist Si Yu Li Xuan had received the news and already walked out of the small building.

The moment he emerged, before Shen Bai could even speak, Yu Li Xuan bowed deeply to him.

Shen Bai asked in surprise, “Lord Yu, what is the meaning of this?”

Yu Li Xuan straightened up and said, “Lord Shen, you eliminated the Three Great Demonic Forces in one fell swoop, restoring peace to Cangnan Dao. I am thanking you on behalf of the people of Cangnan Dao.”

The excitement in his voice was unconcealed.

Shen Bai said with sudden understanding, “I see. Lord Yu, there’s no need for such formalities. We are both Daoist Si of the Observatory; eliminating demonic forces is part of our duty.”

Yu Li Xuan nodded. “Since Lord Shen has said so, it would be impolite for me to insist. Tonight, I will host a banquet and invite Lord Shen and the Daoist Orders of Cangnan Dao. How about we drink and celebrate together?”

Shen Bai smiled. “It would be rude to refuse.”

It was always good to get to know more people, so of course, Shen Bai didn’t decline.

Yu Li Xuan was an insightful man. Seeing that Shen Bai seemed to have other matters to attend to, he said, “Jiao Hong, Lord Shen must be weary from his journey. Take him to the finest guest room to rest. Call him to the banquet once it begins.”

Jiao Hong quickly agreed.

Jiao Hong then led Shen Bai to his accommodations.

…

Cangnan Dao was a Daoist-level City, after all, so the accommodations were naturally excellent.

Considering Shen Bai’s status, Yu Li Xuan had chosen the best room for him.

“Lord Shen, if you need anything, just find any member of the Observatory,” Jiao Hong said respectfully.

Shen Bai nodded. “You can go about your business. I understand.”

A short while later, Jiao Hong left the room.

After Jiao Hong had gone, Shen Bai opened the space of his Yin Yang Storage Skill.

A rift appeared, and three Deceit Transformation Pearls fell from it into Shen Bai’s hand.

Before Shen Bai could say a word, Amber and Red Makeup materialized in the room as streaks of light, grabbing his arms from the left and right.

Two pairs of limpid autumn-water eyes stared at Shen Bai, filled with longing.

No Deceitful Beast could resist a Deceit Transformation Pearl. Not even peerless beauties like Amber and Red Makeup were an exception; they were completely captivated at the sight of them.

After a moment of thought, Shen Bai said, “I promised Amber before. These three Deceit Transformation Pearls are for her.”

Amber’s third evolution required three Deceit Transformation Pearls. Shen Bai had told her during the last two times that her next evolution would be the priority.

Now that the time had come, Shen Bai would naturally not go back on his word.

Red Makeup was also obedient. Although her eyes showed some reluctance, she still nodded dutifully. “Red Makeup listens to Master.”

Amber stared eagerly at the Deceit Transformation Pearls. If Shen Bai hadn’t been there, she might have pounced on them.

Shen Bai stroked Amber’s cat ears and chuckled. “Go on, take them. Look at you, drooling like you’re about to eat me up.”

Amber took the Deceit Transformation Pearls, squinting her eyes in enjoyment as Shen Bai petted her. “Amber likes Master the most,” she said.

The three Deceit Transformation Pearls turned into streams of light and were absorbed into Amber’s body.

Then, Amber closed her eyes slightly, a cold and sinister aura circulating around her.

The sinister aura completely enveloped Amber, and a moment later, she had turned into an egg.

Shen Bai waved his hand, circulated the Qi in his body, and opened a rift in front of him, placing the egg into the space of his Yin Yang Storage Skill.

After doing all this, Shen Bai surveyed all his Divine Powers.

Before his eyes, smoke gradually condensed into a list of his current Divine Powers, floating in mid-air.
