177: The power of resentment? The Land of Spiritual Ruins appears ahead of time!

“How could this be?”

Lu Xuan sensed everything around him, realizing that Zhang Yingxue’s Yin Qi had completely vanished.

Facing such a bizarre situation, Lu Xuan felt powerless for the first time.

It seemed that Zhang Yingxue could melt into the world, and even Lu Xuan couldn't find her trace.

Furthermore, Zhang Yingxue's abnormal state made Lu Xuan feel very strange.

Logically speaking, Lu Xuan had held nothing back in that previous strike; it was a full-power blow capable of rivaling an Outer Strength Grandmaster at Major Achievement.

Yet, Zhang Yingxue not only survived his strike but became even stronger.

This incredible turn of events made Lu Xuan murmur softly.

“Could it be due to that resentment?”

Human resentment has existed in the world since ancient times, and no one can erase it.

Unless Zhang Yingxue was born from resentment, how could she have successfully survived Lu Xuan's attack?

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan casually glanced around the courtyard, then looked at the offering table in the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall.

Immediately, Lu Xuan lightly waved his hand towards the dozen or so heads of the Zhang Family members on the offering table.

A purple Gale Force streak tore through the air, carrying scorching heat, burning all the heads of those dozen or so Zhang Family members into ashes.

Those dozen or so Zhang Family members' heads still contained a lot of Yin Qi.

For Lu Xuan, who urgently needed System points, it was a small gain.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Outer Strength Grandmaster (Major Achievement)

Cultivation Technique: Burning Heaven Blade Technique 1/9, Flowing Light Step Technique 1/9, Indestructible Body of Diamond 8/9

Points: 69

Hmm, a total of thirteen Zhang Family members' heads, which increased System points by 39.

“It seems that to find Zhang Yingxue again, I can only keep an eye on Xiao Liangchen.”

Lu Xuan took one last glance at the distance, where a corpse lay on the ground.

The flesh below the head had long been completely gnawed away, leaving only a solitary head.

The face on the head, however, was twisted and full of pain, clearly having died after suffering immense torment.

Lu Xuan felt no emotion regarding the tragic deaths of these people.

Because Lu Xuan had already understood the grievances between the Zhang Family and the Heavenly Eagle Gang.

What goes around comes around!

Fu City Blackbird Guard Residence.

Deep within the residence, in the courtyard of Xuan Niao Guard Mystic Envoy Mo Ronghua, two figures sat opposite each other at a stone table.

The person sitting opposite Mo Ronghua was, naturally, his daughter, Mo Qingyi.

At this moment, Mo Qingyi was not wearing the Blackbird Guard's brocade robes.

Instead, she had changed into a light and elegant blue and white flowing dress, its hem gently swaying in the breeze, as if a gentle wind swept through a patch of green grass.

Her long, soft black hair was casually draped behind her.

A few strands of hair brushed her fair cheeks, adding a touch of ethereal beauty, like a Fairy who did not partake in worldly affairs.

Mo Ronghua, however, was not looking at his daughter; instead, he was deep in thought, his face very serious.

“Qingyi, I received news from the Family that the Lingxu Land seems to have undergone another change a few days ago.”

“According to that one, the Lingxu Land seems to be appearing ahead of schedule.”

“If I'm not mistaken, it will be in one year!”

“This news is currently only known to the Eight Great Families and a few other factions.”

“However, this news won't be kept secret for long.”

“Because that one intends to hold the Imperial Dynasty Martial Arts Competition a month from now to select the candidates for entry into the Lingxu Land a year later!”

“Therefore, to cope with this change,”

“The Elders have unanimously decided that after this competition for the artifact comprehension slots concludes,”

“The top three individuals from the Family will receive the Family's full support.”

“Even High Grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects, and possibly even supreme-grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects, might be used.”

Heaven knows how shocked Mo Ronghua was when he received this news.

High Grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects were things that only Clan Chiefs were qualified to enjoy.

And supreme-grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects were even legendary items.

It is said that supreme-grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects contain the purest Heavenly Origin.

Martial Artists who Cultivate the Martial Dao, after consuming supreme-grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects, can advance their Martial Dao Realm by leaps and bounds, achieving Ascension in a single day!

Of course, Ascension in a single day was just an exaggeration; Mo Ronghua naturally didn't believe it.

“Qingyi, the Celestial Capital Xuan Bird Guard has agreed to my request. Your fifth uncle will come to Jingtai Prefecture to be stationed for a period of time.”

“He should arrive in Jingtai Prefecture in about three days.”

“Once your fifth uncle arrives, you and I will return to the Family.”

“Yes, Father!”

After receiving Mo Qingyi's reply, Mo Ronghua remembered another matter.

“Oh, and about seeing Lu Xuan in Jingtai Prefecture last time, don’t spread it around.”

“Also, go remind those two girls.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Qingyi's mind conjured Lu Xuan's face, and she frowned slightly as she spoke.

“What is it, Father?”

“That one is a Martial Dao Grandmaster. Has something happened to him?”

Mo Ronghua gave his daughter a strange look, and under her puzzled gaze, he shook his head.

What could happen to Lu Xuan, that fellow, being an Outer Strength Grandmaster?

If something were to happen, it would be to the people who provoked Lu Xuan.

“An Prefecture Inspector Inspector Luo Jin, he died mysteriously at the Luo Family yesterday.”

“And not only did that Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) Inspector Luo Jin die, but the entire Luo Family Bloodline was wiped out.”

“The Luo Family residence was even burned down by the culprit.”

Speaking of this, Mo Ronghua recalled the character of that fellow Lu Xuan.

He was a hundred percent certain that Lu Xuan did it.

Tsk tsk, this Xuan Xiaoyou, Lu Xuan, really makes him look at him in a new light!

At such a young age, he not only possesses profound Martial Dao Cultivation but also acts decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.

Mo Ronghua now regarded Lu Xuan as a future giant of the Great Xia Dynasty.

That’s why he specifically reminded his daughter not to leak Lu Xuan’s information.

At this moment, Mo Ronghua was scrambling to curry favor with Lu Xuan; how could he possibly betray him?

“What?!”

“Inspector Luo Jin is dead?!”

“Lu Xuan… …”

Mo Qingyi’s beautiful eyes were filled with shock; she couldn't believe this was true.

And her father was now specifically reminding her about Lu Xuan.

Could it be that Inspector Luo Jin's death was related to Lu Xuan?

Seeing his daughter wanting to know the answer, Mo Ronghua nodded affirmatively, confirming Mo Qingyi's guess.

“Hmm!”

Inspector Luo Jin had just announced that he would seek justice for his son.

Yet, how long had it been before Inspector Luo Jin died like this?

Coupled with Lu Xuan's inexplicable appearance in Jingtai Prefecture, even an idiot like Mo Ronghua could guess Lu Xuan's objective.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

“Mystic Envoy, Master Lu Xuan, the Mystic Envoy from Baidao Prefecture, has arrived!”

This sudden voice made Mo Ronghua's hand freeze.

The teacup he had just brought to his lips silently slipped from his hand.

Until the teacup fell to the ground, emitting a crisp glass sound.

Lu Xuan is here?
