Chapter 1775 - 1771: A Glimmer of Hope
"How did Duke Cheng become like this! What is he doing?" Shen Luo exclaimed upon seeing Cheng Yaojin in such a state.
"Duke Cheng was controlled by the Fox Clan in the previous great battle. His Dao foundation has completely collapsed; he’s burning out. Before his death, he is passing on his life vitality, along with many years of cultivation insights, to Lu Huaming." Yuan Tiangang said, clasping one palm in respect.
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo’s expression changed. His Divine Sense swept over the two of them, and his figure flickered to appear beside Cheng Yaojin inside the tower, pointing with his right hand.
Eight crystalline green lights shot from his fingertip, simultaneously entering the eight healing acupuncture points at Cheng Yaojin’s waist and abdomen, which were the Eight Gates of Life and Death.
Outside the tower, Xue Li and the white-haired old man observed this scene, and their expressions both changed. Xue Li was fine, having some understanding of Shen Luo, but the white-haired old man was furious.
"Impudent, who are you? Stop immediately!" he shouted angrily, sweeping his sleeve.
Eighty-one silver lights densely shot out from his sleeve, surprisingly eighty-one silver needles, swiftly attacking Shen Luo’s entire body, making no sound and having no Qi fluctuation.
At this moment, a white light flashed in front, and all the silver needles were swept aside—Yuan Tiangang had made his move.
"Master Hutu, please stop. This is Daoist Friend Shen Luo, a friend of the Great Tang Government, not an enemy." Yuan Tiangang said.
"I can naturally see that this person has no harmful intentions towards the Duke, but the Duke is performing the technique of transferring power and cannot be disturbed; otherwise, not only will he surely die, but Lu Xianzhi’s divine soul will also suffer a severe injury!" Hutu said urgently.
"Master Hutu, rest assured. Though Friend Shen is not old, his cultivation level has already reached a profound realm, and he is always steady in nature. He surely saw that Duke Cheng was transferring power. Since he made a move, he will definitely not harm the Duke or Lu Huaming." Yuan Tiangang said calmly, casually sending the eighty-one silver needles back before Hutu.
