Chapter 653 Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pearl

When Luo Yao heard the words of this fortune teller, he couldn't help but feel amused.

He never thought that he would be targeted by a so-called fortune teller.

However, he did not directly expose the true identity of this fortune teller, but decided to continue to see what other tricks this fortune teller had.

So he pretended to be nervous and said, "Master, are you telling the truth? Will something bad really happen to me?"

The fortune teller was delighted when he saw this, thinking that Luo Yao had been frightened by him, so he continued, "Yes, sir, your fortune is indeed not good."

"But, as long as you are willing to give me the jade pendant on your waist, I can help you resolve this disaster."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yao already understood the true intention of this divine fortune teller.

He pretended to be hesitant and said, "But this jade pendant is very important to me. I can't give it to you easily."

Seeing this, the divine fortune teller felt even more proud. He thought Luo Yao had been frightened by him, so he continued to threaten him, "Sir, you better think it over carefully."

"If you don't hand over this jade pendant, your fortune will get worse and worse, and you may even be in danger of your life."

Luo Yao sneered in his heart when he heard this, he knew that this divine fortune teller had revealed his true colors.

So he pretended to be horrified and said, "Master, I really can't hand over this jade pendant."

"However, I can give you some money as a reward. Please help me resolve this disaster."

As he spoke, Luo Yao took out a bag of gold coins from his arms and handed it to the fortune teller.

Seeing this, the fortune teller's eyes flashed with greed. He took the gold coin and said, "Okay, since you are so sincere, I will help you resolve this disaster."

As he said this, he closed his eyes and began to pretend to calculate.

However, just as he was about to take action, Luo Yao suddenly made a move and grabbed his wrist.

"Master, what are you doing?" Luo Yao asked coldly.

The divine fortune teller was frightened out of his wits by Luo Yao's sudden attack. He struggled to break free from Luo Yao's hand, but was held tightly by Luo Yao.

"You! Let me go!" the fortune teller shouted in horror.

Luo Yao looked at him coldly and said, "I have seen through your true colors. You are not a fortune teller at all, but a liar!"

"You took advantage of people's respect and trust to defraud them of their money. This behavior is really shameful!"

The fortune teller turned pale when he heard this. He knew he had been exposed, so he stopped pretending and said directly, "I'll give you a chance, let go."

"if not."

Luo Yao sneered and interrupted him, his tone revealing an unquestionable firmness: "Otherwise? Do you want to threaten me?"

Seeing this, the people around gathered around and watched the scene curiously.

Many of them were believers of these fortune tellers, but at this moment, they became puzzled by Luo Yao's behavior. They wondered where this young man came from and how he dared to openly question these fortune tellers.

Seeing this, Luo Yao took a deep breath and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, you have all been deceived by these scammers! They are not fortune tellers at all, but scammers who take advantage of your trust to defraud your money!"

"Look, this Taoist priest just said that he could help me resolve the disaster, but when I took out money as a reward, he revealed his greedy nature."

"How could such behavior be done by a true god?"

When the people around heard this, they all showed surprised expressions.

Many of them heard such statements for the first time and began to doubt the true identities of these fortune tellers.

Seeing this, the fortune teller became very anxious. He knew that he had lost the trust of the people, so he struggled to break free from Luo Yao's hand, but was held tightly by Luo Yao.

Just then, a gust of wind blew, lifting the corner of Luo Yao's clothes.

At the same time, a powerful aura emanated from Luo Yao, making the people around him feel oppressed.

When the divine fortune teller sensed this breath, his face suddenly turned extremely pale.

He knew that he had met the legendary immortal cultivator and could no longer escape.

So, he had no choice but to give up struggling and let Luo Yao take him to the City Lord's Mansion of Shenmu City.

"You, what do you do?"

"Back off, this is the City Lord's Mansion, outsiders are not allowed to get close."

In front of the City Lord's Mansion, two guards held spears and stared at Luo Yao and the fortune teller with vigilance.

Their gazes lingered on Luo Yao for a moment, and they were obviously shocked by the aura emanating from him.

Luo Yao smiled slightly, took a step forward, and said with a bow, "Two guard brothers, I am Luo Yao, and I have something important to ask the city lord."

"This is a swindler I met on the street. He pretended to be a fortune teller and swindled people's money. I have captured him. Please make the decision, Lord City Lord."

The two guards looked at each other after hearing this, and one of them said, "It turns out to be Mr. Luo. Please wait a moment. I will go and inform the city lord."

After a while, the guard came back and said to Luo Yao respectfully, "Mr. Luo, the city lord wants to see you. Please follow me."

Luo Yao nodded, thanked the guard, then turned to the fortune teller and said, "Let's go and see the city lord."

The fortune teller was so frightened at this point that he knew he had nowhere to escape.

He could only bite the bullet and follow Luo Yao into the City Lord's Mansion.

In the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man was sitting in the study, flipping through an ancient book.

He is the lord of Shenmu City, Li Qingyun.

After hearing the report, Li Qingyun put down the ancient book in his hand and frowned slightly.

He has always been skeptical of people like fortune tellers, believing that they are nothing but swindlers.

However, he also knew that these people were quite popular among the people and needed to be handled with caution.

Soon, Luo Yao and the divine fortune teller were brought to the study.

Li Qingyun looked up at Luo Yao, nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the fortune teller and asked coldly, "Are you the liar pretending to be the fortune teller?"

Upon hearing this, the divine fortune teller immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Lord City Lord, please spare my life! I... I was just bewildered for a moment, so I did such a stupid thing."

"Please, Lord City Lord, spare my life!"

Li Qingyun snorted coldly and ignored his plea for mercy.

He turned to Luo Yao and said, "Master Luo, thank you for capturing this liar and getting rid of a threat to our Shenmu City."

Luo Yao smiled slightly and said, "You are too polite, Lord City Lord. This is what I should do."

Li Qingyun nodded, then turned his gaze to the fortune teller again and said, "Since you have already pleaded guilty, then let's follow the rules of Shenmu City."

As he said this, he waved his hand, signaling the guards to take the fortune teller away.

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

Li Qingyun looked at Luo Yao with a smile and said, "Mr. Luo not only has a profound cultivation, but also has a sense of justice. He is truly a rare talent." Luo Yao shook his head modestly and said, "Lord City Lord, you are too kind. I just did what I should do."

Li Qingyun smiled and nodded, then changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Luo, why did you come to Shenmu City this time?"

Luo Yao heard this, and after a moment's silence, he said, "To be honest, I came to Shenmu City just to go out and gain experience, but not long ago I heard that a treasure called 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pearl' appeared nearby. Does the city lord know about it?"

"Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pearl?"

Li Qingyun was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Mr. Luo, I may be able to provide you with some clues about this treasure."

Luo Yao was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly asked, "Lord City Lord, please speak."

Li Qingyun nodded and said slowly: "As far as I know, this 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pearl' was originally refined by a great man in ancient times. It contains endless spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and can help cultivators quickly improve their cultivation."

"However, because this treasure is too precious, it has attracted the covetousness of countless people."

"In a great war in ancient times, this treasure was unfortunately lost and its whereabouts have been unknown since then."

"However, according to some ancient records, this treasure seems to have some mysterious connection with Shenmu City."

"Perhaps, in some corner of Shenmu City, you can find clues about this treasure."

Luo Yao was excited when he heard this. He didn't expect to find clues about the 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pearl' in Shenmu City.

He quickly expressed his gratitude to Li Qingyun and promised to reward him handsomely once the treasure was found.

Li Qingyun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Mr. Luo, you are too polite. It is my honor to be able to provide some help to you."

Next, Li Qingyun introduced to Luo Yao some information about Shenmu City, including the distribution of forces within the city, local customs and so on.

This information is very important to Luo Yao and can help him better understand Shenmu City.

Time passed by unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already evening.

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

His heart was filled with anticipation and excitement, because he knew that he was not far from finding clues to the 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pearl'.

As night fell, the lights of Shenmu City gradually lit up. Luo Yao walked alone on the street, his heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.

He asked around in the city, asking for information about the 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pearl'.

However, most people know nothing about it. Only a few older monks have heard of this name, but they only know that it is an ancient treasure, and no one knows its exact whereabouts.

However, Luo Yao was not discouraged.

He believed that as long as he searched patiently, he would be able to find clues.

So he continued to wander around the city, looking for possible clues.

Just then, he noticed an inconspicuous alley.

There was a strange atmosphere in the alley, which made him walk in involuntarily.

At the end of the alley, a dilapidated temple comes into view.

Although the temple is dilapidated, there are several lighted lamps placed in front of the door, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling.

Luo Yao's heart moved, and he felt that this temple might be related to the 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pearl'.

So he stepped into the temple.

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

Luo Yao searched carefully in the temple and finally found an ancient book under a shabby altar.

He carefully opened the ancient book and saw some records about the 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pearl'.

It turns out that this temple was once the site of an ancient sect, and the 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pearl' was the sect's treasure.

However, in a sect war, this sect was unfortunately destroyed, and the whereabouts of the "Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pearl" has been unknown since then.

Luo Yao was excited, he finally found the clue about the 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pearl'.

He decided to find the treasure no matter what.

In the following days, Luo Yao began to search for the whereabouts of the 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pearl' according to the clues in ancient books.

He traveled to every corner of Shenmu City and asked countless people, but still could not find any definite information about the treasure.

However, he did not give up.

He believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to find clues.

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

The valley was filled with a rich spiritual energy, as if some treasure was about to come into the world.

Luo Yao's heart moved, and he felt that this place might be related to the 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pearl'.

So he walked into the valley carefully.

Deep in the valley, an ancient altar appeared before our eyes.

There is a crystal clear bead placed on the altar, which is the 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pearl'!
Luo Yao was filled with joy; he had finally found this treasure!

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

"You finally came."

The man slowly turned around, revealing a familiar face—it was the divine fortune teller who had been captured by Luo Yao before!

"You... why are you here?" Luo Yao asked in surprise.

The fortune teller smiled and said, "I have been waiting for your arrival. This 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pearl' is the bait I use to lure you."

"What?" Luo Yao was shocked when he heard this: "What on earth do you want to do?"

The divine fortune teller sneered and said, "I originally thought you were just an ordinary cultivator. I didn't expect you to find this place so quickly."

"To tell you the truth, the 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pearl' is the sacrifice I use to revive the ancient demon."

"Only those who possess this treasure can summon the power of the ancient demon."

"And now that you have this treasure, please sacrifice your life for the resurrection of the ancient demon!"

As he spoke, the divine fortune teller suddenly slapped out with his palm, and a powerful palm force attacked Luo Yao.

Luo Yao's heart trembled, and he immediately used all his skills to engage in a fierce battle with the divine fortune teller.

The two of them fought back and forth, and the gap in strength between them was not that big.

However, as time went on, Luo Yao gradually felt that he was overwhelmed.
