Chapter 1673 - 1669: Holding Qingqiu Accountable
Chapter 1673: Chapter 1669: Holding Qingqiu AccountableIt was unclear how much time had passed when suddenly, in the guest room of Tianji City, Shen Luo’s eyes snapped open, and he quickly sat up from the bed.
Immediately afterward, he felt a sudden blackout as a wave of dizziness and exhaustion swept over him. Unable to suppress the overwhelming fatigue, he fell back onto the bed and slept again.
This sleep lasted for half a day, and when he woke up again, it was already evening the next day.
Shen Luo hurriedly sought out Little Master and detailed the events of last night’s Dreamland traversal.
"Elder, honestly, even now I’m uncertain whether I truly traversed Dreamland or merely had a vivid dream," Shen Luo said, somewhat hesitantly.
"Based on what you told me, this time you didn’t travel to the world a thousand years later but returned to the day Elder Manbo was killed?" Little Master furrowed his brow and asked.
"That’s correct. Moreover, in this Dreamland, I was like a mere observer. No one could see me or sense my existence. I was like a phantom unable to interact with others," Shen Luo explained.
"If that’s the case, it indeed seems more like a dream." Little Master pondered aloud.
"But after waking from the dream, I felt my divine soul exhausted and fell into a deep sleep again. That’s quite different from my usual self, making it difficult to conclude decisively," Shen Luo shook his head.
"This jade pillow is truly extraordinary. Even though I’ve repaired it, I can’t guarantee it is identical to its original state. If the jade pillow’s god-like powers were inadvertently altered, it wouldn’t be impossible," Little Master said after a long moment of thought.
Hearing this, Shen Luo fell silent as well.
"It seems the specifics can only be verified the next time you enter Dreamland," Little Master raised his head after a moment and said.
"Understood. What are your plans next?" Little Master asked.
"Next... I’ll begin
At this moment, Elder You Li had a rune etched into the skin between her brows. Her eyes were slightly rolled back, devoid of life, and a complexly patterned armored ring encircled her neck.
"What is this?" Shen Luo asked in confusion.
"This woman’s mouth is truly tight. No matter how much torture she endured, she revealed nothing. When soul-searching techniques were employed, she destroyed half her divine soul. If we hadn’t sealed her Sea of Knowledge in time, she might have already self-destructed," Nameless Elder sighed.
The techniques used on Elder You Li were designed specifically to prevent her from committing suicide.
"Daoist Shen, I must entrust her care to you during the journey," Nameless Elder cupped his fists to Shen Luo.
"I will coordinate with Daoist Yan to ensure everything is managed," Shen Luo replied with a respectful salute.
"Rest assured, Nameless Elder. Should anything happen along the way, I’ll defer to Brother Shen’s council," Master Yan also said.
"Very well, then. I won’t worry about further matters. You should set out now," Nameless Elder said, smiling.
After bidding farewell, the group boarded the flying boat with Elder You Li in custody and began their journey to Chang’an City.
