Chapter 1328: Chapter 651: Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pearl_2

The diviner was scared out of his wits at this moment, knowing he had nowhere to run.

He could only grit his teeth and follow behind Luo Yao, entering the City Lord’s Mansion.

Inside the mansion, a middle-aged man was sitting in the study, reading an ancient tome.

This man was the City Lord of Shenmu City, Li Qingyun.

Upon hearing the report, Li Qingyun put down his ancient tome and slightly frowned.

He had always held a skeptical attitude toward people like diviners, thinking they were nothing but charlatans.

However, he also knew these people were rather reputable among the common folk, requiring careful handling.

Soon, Luo Yao and the diviner were brought into the study.

Li Qingyun looked up at Luo Yao, nodded slightly, then turned his gaze toward the diviner and asked coldly: "Are you the impostor pretending to be a diviner?"

The diviner, upon hearing this, immediately fell to the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic, saying: "Spare me, City Lord! I... I was momentarily bewitched and did such a foolish thing."

"Please, City Lord, spare my life!"

Li Qingyun snorted coldly, ignoring his pleas.

He turned to Luo Yao and said, "Mr. Luo, thank you for capturing this charlatan and ridding Shenmu City of a menace."

Luo Yao smiled slightly and said, "City Lord, you’re too kind, it’s what I should have done."

Li Qingyun nodded and then looked toward the diviner again, saying: "Since you’ve confessed, then let’s handle it according to Shenmu City’s rules."

With that, he waved his hand, signaling the guards to take the diviner away.

Soon, only Luo Yao and Li Qingyun were left in the study.

Li Qingyun smiled at Luo Yao and said, "Mr. Luo, not only is your cultivation profound, but you are also righteous, a truly rare talent."

Luo Yao humbly shook his head and said, "City Lord, you’re overpraising me, I’ve merely done what I should."

Li Qingyun smiled and nodded, then changed the topic and asked, "Mr. Luo, what is the purpose of your visit to Shenmu City this time?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yao pondered for a moment, then said, "To be honest, my visit to Shenmu City was merely for training, but I recently heard of a treasure named ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’ appearing nearby, and I’m wondering if the City Lord is aware?"

"Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl?"

Li Qingyun heard this, paused for a moment, then said, "Mr. Luo, regarding this treasure, I might be able to provide you with some clues."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yao was thrilled and quickly asked, "Please, City Lord, tell me."

Li Qingyun nodded and said slowly, "As far as I know, this ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’ was originally crafted by a great power in Ancient Times. It contains endless nature’s spiritual energy, helping cultivators quickly enhance their cultivation."

"However, due to its preciousness, it attracted countless prying eyes."

"During a battle in Ancient Times, the treasure was tragically lost and its whereabouts remain unknown."

"But, according to some ancient tomes, the treasure seems to have some mysterious link with Shenmu City."

"Perhaps, you might find some clues about the treasure in some corner of Shenmu City."

Luo Yao, upon hearing this, was excited. He didn’t expect to find clues about the ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’ in Shenmu City.

He quickly expressed his gratitude to Li Qingyun, promising to give generous thanks once the treasure was found.

Li Qingyun smiled and waved off the thanks, saying, "Mr. Luo, you are too kind. Being able to help you is my honor."

Li Qingyun then introduced Luo Yao to some situations in Shenmu City, including the distribution of power, customs, and culture.

This information was very important to Luo Yao, helping him better understand Shenmu City.

Time passed unknowingly, and before long, it was dusk.

Luo Yao bid farewell to Li Qingyun and left the City Lord’s Mansion.

His heart was full of anticipation and excitement as he knew the clues to the ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’ were not far away.

As night fell, Shenmu City’s lights slowly turned on, Luo Yao walked alone on the street, his heart full of anticipation and tension.

He wandered around the city, asking for news about the ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’.

However, most people knew nothing about it, only a few older cultivators had heard its name, but they only knew it was an ancient treasure, with no one aware of its exact whereabouts.

Yet, Luo Yao did not give up in disappointment.

He believed that as long as he was patient, he would eventually find a clue.

He then continued to wander around the city, looking for possible clues.

At this moment, he noticed an inconspicuous alley.

The alley emitted a strange aura, drawing him to walk into it involuntarily.

At the end of the alley, an old temple came into view.

Though the temple was old, a few lit lanterns were placed at its entrance, giving off a mysterious and solemn feeling.

Luo Yao felt a sudden urge, sensing that this temple might be related to the ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’.

He stepped into the temple.

The temple was empty, with only a few broken statues standing quietly.

Luo Yao searched the temple carefully and finally found an ancient tome under a shabby offering table.

He carefully opened the tome, finding records about the ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’.

It turned out this temple was once the site of an ancient sect, and the ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’ was the sect’s treasure.

However, during a sect battle, the sect was unfortunately destroyed, and the ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’ has since been unaccounted for.

Luo Yao felt a surge of excitement; he finally found a clue about the ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’.

He decided that he would find this treasure no matter what.

In the coming days, Luo Yao began to follow the clues in the ancient tome to search for the whereabouts of the ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’.

He combed through every corner of Shenmu City, asked countless people, but still did not find any definitive messages about the treasure.

Yet, he did not give up.

He believed that as long as he persisted, he would eventually find the clue.

Finally, one day, he discovered something unusual in a valley outside the city.

The valley was filled with rich spiritual energy, as if some treasure was about to emerge.

Luo Yao felt a sudden urge, sensing that this place might be connected to the ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’.

He carefully stepped into the valley.

In the depths of the valley, an ancient altar appeared before him.

On the altar was a crystal-clear pearl, it was precisely the ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’!

Luo Yao felt a surge of ecstatic joy; he finally found this treasure!

However, just as he was about to step forward and take the pearl, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"You finally arrived."

That person slowly turned around, revealing a familiar face—it was the diviner who was captured by Luo Yao earlier!

"Why... why are you here?" Luo Yao asked in shock.

The diviner smiled faintly and said, "I’ve been waiting for your arrival. This ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’ is the bait I used to lure you."

"What?" Luo Yao was shocked: "What exactly are you trying to do?"

The diviner sneered and said, "I originally thought you were just an ordinary cultivator, but I didn’t expect you to find your way here so quickly."

"To be honest, the ’Tian Di Xuan Huang Pearl’ is the offering I use to revive the ancient demon."

"Only the person possessing this treasure can summon the power of the ancient demon."

"And now, you have the treasure, so please offer your life for the revival of the ancient demon!"

With that, the diviner suddenly unleashed a powerful palm strike toward Luo Yao.

Luo Yao was alarmed, quickly harnessing his entire cultivation and engaged in an intense battle with the diviner.

The two exchanged blows, their differences in power not being significant.

Yet, as time passed, Luo Yao gradually felt a bit overwhelmed.
