530: Chapter 530 White Light

"They came fast enough!"

Ghost Commander Youming had come with a mission. Liu Xuan subduing him would surely attract the attention of the Lianyue Immortal Palace.

He guessed people from the Lianyue Immortal Palace would investigate, but he didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.

'I'll go take a look first.'

With a thought of his Divine Sense, Liu Xuan stood up and took a step forward, his entire being vanishing instantly.

Outside the Liu Residence.

Greeting Hall.

Liu Xuan stepped out from the Void Realm and looked at a young girl in black sitting on the left side below the main hall.

The girl sat upright, hands crossed over her lower abdomen like a pampered young lady, her black attire adding a touch of cold elegance and aloofness.

Her skin was snowy white, her eyes bright, her nose delicate, and her lips slightly pursed with a hint of nobility. The black dress cinched her waist, accentuating her slender figure.

Stunning!

Even though Liu Xuan had seen countless women, he was still struck by the unique temperament of this young girl in black.

Unfortunately, Liu Xuan saw at a glance that she wasn't human, but a ghost cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm. Her body was merely an illusion formed from her soul body, Yin Qi, and magical power.

'Speaking of which, can ghost cultivators...'

'They should be able to, right? Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian could love each other, so there's no reason Liu Xuan can't!'

'However, she doesn't even have a Physical Body. How should I start?'

'Hmm... that's a problem!'

While Liu Xuan was sizing up You Ruo, she was also sizing him up. Her thin, curved willow-leaf brows furrowed slightly as she asked indifferently, "Are you the Head of the Liu Family, Liu Xuan?"

You Ruo had come to meet the powerhouse behind the scenes who could easily kill or suppress Ghost King Youming, not a mere Golden Core True Person!

She was a dignified Nascent Soul Ghost Commander, representing the Lianyue Immortal Palace. For the master of this place to send a small Golden Core True Person to brush her off was somewhat disrespectful.

"It is indeed I!" Liu Xuan paced to the head of the hall and sat down, smiling. "I have been waiting for Miss You Ruo for a long time. You have finally arrived!"

"Waiting for me?"

"That's right!" Liu Xuan cupped his hands toward the south and said with a face full of sincerity, "I have long admired your Lianyue Immortal Palace and have always hoped for some exchange."

Liu Xuan gently waved his sleeve, and a starlight barrier enveloped the hall. Then he asked in a low voice, "Miss You Ruo, is your Lianyue Immortal Palace planning to help Demon Saint Xuanyu deal with Daoist Lord Lihuo?"

"Buzz!!"

You Ruo stood up abruptly, a thick, pitch-black ghost Qi surging around her. Her Middle Stage Nascent Soul Ghost Commander Aura was fully revealed.

"Don't get excited!"

"Don't get excited now!"

Liu Xuan raised his hand to signal her to calm down and quickly said, "We are allies. I've also been unhappy with Daoist Lord Lihuo for a long time. That old fellow actually wanted my son to be his mount. Even if you don't deal with him, I'll take care of him sooner or later."

Crazy! You Ruo felt that Liu Xuan was crazy. A Golden Core True Person dared to be disrespectful to a Dao Monarch; he simply didn't know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth!

"This seat has no time to mess around with you. Call out the person behind you, otherwise..." Her gaze turned cold as she said eerily, "If you become an enemy of my Lianyue Immortal Palace, even the Beast Taming Sect won't be able to protect you!"

"With your status, you are not yet qualified to see the person behind me!" Ignoring You Ruo's cold gaze, Liu Xuan said indifferently, "Forget you, even if Ghost King Lianyue came, she wouldn't be qualified!"

Without giving her time to react, Liu Xuan threw a silver-white spatial force into the center of the hall. The white light touched the ground, revealing an expanding spatial vortex.

Thick yin fiend energy poured out, and Ghost Commander Youming emerged from the spatial vortex.

"Greetings, Master!"

Ghost Commander Youming first bowed to Liu Xuan before looking at You Ruo. "Fellow Daoist You Ruo, long time no see."

You Ruo's eyes widened, and the words she wanted to say were all swallowed back. Ghost Commander Youming wasn't dead!

'Master?'

Why would the Peak Nascent Soul Ghost Commander Youming call Liu Xuan master? You Ruo had to re-examine this exceptionally handsome young Immortal Master.

'He hid his cultivation!'

Yes, this person must have hidden his cultivation, and his concealment methods were profound and mysterious, reaching a level where she couldn't see a single flaw.

No wonder Liu Xuan gave her such a strange feeling. For a Golden Core True Person to meet a Nascent Soul ghost cultivator, an ordinary person would never be so casual.

He showed no fear in front of her, nor did he have the awareness a lower cultivator should have. Instead, he acted as if he were the superior cultivator.

This natural and unrestrained state couldn't be faked. Liu Xuan's cultivation was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

In that case, did Liu Xuan have an even stronger powerhouse behind him? Was what he just said true, or was he boasting?

"Miss You Ruo, can we sit down and talk properly now?" Liu Xuan signaled Ghost Commander Youming to sit on the right and continued, "I am very interested in the cooperation between you and Demon Saint Xuanyu. I wonder if you can enlighten me?"

You Ruo slowly sat back down, and the ghost Qi on her body was withdrawn into her.

"Family Head... Head of the Liu Family, how did you conclude that my Lianyue Immortal Palace is cooperating with the Endless Demon Court?" You Ruo asked tentatively.

"Youming told me!" Liu Xuan pointed at Ghost Commander Youming beside him.

Youming was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response to You Ruo's questioning gaze. "That's right, I told the Family Head. This seat commands a division of ghost soldiers and guards a Ghost Realm. It's normal to know some internal information."

"Fellow Daoist You Ruo, you don't need to worry. The Family Head is not your enemy. You should be honest with him."

You Ruo and Youming had similar titles, and both were direct subordinates of Ghost King Lianyue. They were actually very familiar with each other and even had a decent relationship.

She could see that Youming had been controlled and was no longer his own master, but from his eyes, he didn't seem to have completely lost his sanity. It was more like his soul had been enslaved by some means.

Enslaving a Peak Nascent Soul Ghost Commander was no ordinary feat. Generally, even a Spirit Transformation Dao Lord couldn't do it.

"I cannot make a decision on this matter. I must report to my master and let her decide." You Ruo cupped her hands to Liu Xuan. "Does Head of the Liu Family have any message for my master?"

Liu Xuan was prepared. An oil lamp Magical Artifact appeared in his hand, with an eerie flame burning quietly.

A trace of Karma Fire seed, containing a bit of the charm of the fifth-grade Spirit Treasure, the avici karmic fire mirror.

He handed the oil lamp Magical Artifact to You Ruo. "Go back and tell your master that we are not enemies!"

You Ruo took the oil lamp Magical Artifact into her hand and looked closely at the eerie flame.

"Hiss~"

As soon as her Divine Sense touched the flame, she felt a sharp pain. A small portion of her Divine Sense was burned away, and the flame grew a bit stronger as a result.

'What a strange flame, it can actually burn the Divine Soul directly!'

What she didn't know was that this was already a weakened Karma Fire; otherwise, it would have followed her Divine Sense and ignited her entire soul body.

Carefully putting away the oil lamp, You Ruo intended to bid farewell. But just as she was about to leave, a moon-white light rose from her chest.

A translucent white lotus seed bloomed with hazy moonlight. After a moment, a blurry figure of a woman condensed from the moonlight.

In an instant, Liu Xuan's vision was filled with white light, falling into a blur.

[Ding! Foreign Divine Soul intrusion detected. Clear it?]

At the same time, a clear System notification sounded in Liu Xuan's mind.
