Another thunderous explosion, countless lightning bolts shot out, striking the surrounding well walls, causing the entire Divine Demon Well to shake violently. Many charm patterns on the well walls were damaged by the electric light, cracks spreading everywhere. Shen Luo had no time to spare at this moment and could only take out the Xuanyuan Divine Sword again, wielding a war knife in one hand and a divine sword in the other, facing the imminent and fiercer attack. At this moment, the runes on the surrounding well walls began to glow, and the Formation Pattern beneath Shen Luo’s feet also started to operate, a powerful suppressive force immediately pinning Shen Luo to the spot. Even with his capabilities, the strong suppressive and binding power was something he could barely withstand. "Black and White Daoist, what are you trying to do?" Shen Luo’s heart shook, and he hurriedly asked. No sound came from outside. In the next instant, his head suddenly darkened, and he was directly suppressed within the Divine Demon Well. After an unknown amount of time, the voice of the Lord of Black and White came in the darkness. "Shen Luo, do you know how much trouble you almost caused me?" He exhaled a long breath, as if finally able to relax. As he spoke, the charm patterns around the well wall lit up, and the light reappeared above Shen Luo’s head. Subsequently, his body floated upward, coming out of the wellhead. The Divine Demon Pillar, which was suspended in mid-air, slowly descended, sealing the Divine Demon Well once more. "Black and White Daoist, was it you who acted just now?" Shen Luo asked in confusion. "Friend Shen, if it were not for me closing the Divine Demon Well in time and blocking your breath just now, the Three Calamity Thunder Tribulation would not only have destroyed your physical body but also directly breached the seal of the Divine Demon Well." The Lord of Black and White said. "Thank you, Black and White Daoist, I was too careless this time." Shen Luo clasped his fists and said. The Lord of Black and White sat cross-legged on the Divine Demon Pillar, looked down at Shen Luo for a moment, and said, "Now your cultivation level has reached the Taiyi Peak, but your breath is still unstable, right?" "That’s right." Shen Luo nodded. "I advise you to temporarily suppress your breath, it’s best to maintain it at the Taiyi Intermediate Stage. This way you can avoid the Three Calamities descending again." The Lord of Black and White said. "Will it be enough to avoid the Three Calamities just by doing this?" Shen Luo raised an eyebrow, surprised. "Of course not, this is just a temporary measure to postpone the time. To truly escape the Three Calamities, you need to transcend destiny and become a Heavenly Venerate. Before that, you can only try to suppress your breath and make the Three Calamity Days delay in finding you." The Lord of Black and White shook his head and said. "Thank you for your advice, Daoist friend." Shen Luo gratefully said. "Remember, unless you are absolutely confident of winning, do not raise your breath to the peak again, otherwise the Three Calamities will surely be drawn. Within this Divine Demon Well, I can help you obscure Tianji, but elsewhere, you will certainly die." The Lord of Black and White continued. Upon hearing this, Shen Luo fell into contemplation. After a long while, he bid farewell and left the Dragon Tomb. As Shen Luo returned to the Crystal Palace, he saw teams of shrimp soldiers and crab generals coming and going, constantly heading towards the sea surface, making his heart tighten. "Could something have happened at the Dragon Palace again?" Thinking this, Shen Luo quickened his pace and returned to the Crystal Palace. Just as he stepped into the Dragon Palace, he saw Ao Hong leading the Mirror Fiend and Yuan Qiu coming out, with four Patrol Sea Yaksha following behind, issuing orders as they walked. Seeing Shen Luo coming out of seclusion, Ao Hong paused slightly but didn’t rush to greet him, instead, he finished giving the last of the orders: "Each of you take three hundred Water Descendants and gather those scattered Demon Race members. Kill those who won’t obey and resist directly, without mercy." After saying that, Ao Hong then led the Mirror Fiend and Yuan Qiu forward to greet him. "What’s going on? Did something happen at the Dragon Palace?" Shen Luo asked. "Recently, for some unknown reason, a large number of demons suddenly crossed the sea to the Eastern Sea. Some occupy islands and proclaim themselves kings, while others attack Eastern Sea Water Descendants, disturbing the peace of the Eastern Sea." Ao Hong sighed and said. "Is it the Demon Alliance acting up again?" Shen Luo frowned. "No." Ao Hong shook his head. "The last remnants of the Demon Alliance were already cleared out half a year ago." The Mirror Fiend added. "Then what is it?" Shen Luo hesitated. "Just as well, a batch of foreign Demon Race members has already been captured earlier, I haven’t had the chance to interrogate them yet. Come with me." Ao Hong invited. "Alright." Shen Luo nodded. He didn’t refuse. The group arrived at a large prison within the Dragon Palace and saw seven or eight demons of various appearances curled up in the corner of a prison cage, looking dispirited and listless. As they saw Shen Luo and the others approaching, a slender man with colorful feathers suddenly lunged forward, but as soon as he touched the cage, he was repelled by a thunderbolt. "Let me go, you let me go, I didn’t plunder the Water Descendants, I was just passing by." The man, clearly a bird demon, struggled to get up and cried out repeatedly. The other demons merely glanced at him and withdrew their gazes, showing no intent to plead or resist. "Mirror Fiend, were these few captured by you, did they injure anyone when captured?" Ao Hong asked. "Well... the scene was chaotic at that time, no one noticed, anyway, all the fish big and small were caught, not sure if anyone was hurt." The Mirror Fiend said awkwardly. "No, I really didn’t, I was just passing by to watch the excitement." When that bird demon heard this, he immediately rushed forward again, explaining. "I have questions for you, answer honestly." Ao Hong frowned and said. "If I tell the truth, will you let me go?" The bird demon attempted to say. Ao Hong frowned slightly, and the bird demon immediately said wisely, "I will speak without reserve, hold nothing back." "Do you know them?" Ao Hong gestured with his chin towards the others in the cage, asking. "No." The bird demon shook his head like a rattle-drum. "Huh?" Ao Hong snorted coldly. "Your Majesty the Dragon King, I swear, I really don’t know them." The bird demon said with a face full of sorrow. "Then why did you come to the Eastern Sea together?" Ao Hong continued to ask. "We all escaped from the Northern Ju Lu Continent." The bird demon said after a moment’s silence. "Northern Ju Lu Continent?" Shen Luo and the others showed a look of surprise upon hearing the words. "What happened in the Northern Ju Lu Continent for you to flee?" Ao Hong asked further. With this question, it seemed to activate the bird demon’s fear switch, as he fell into memories, his face unfilteredly revealing a terrified expression. Shen Luo noticed that not only he but the other demons behind him were also showing looks of fear.
