205: Shangguan Yunlan’s purpose of coming.

With that in mind, Lu Xuan took out the Wind Fire Blade from his waist and infused it with his Gale Force.

As Lu Xuan's Gale Force surged into the Wind Fire Blade, the blade in his hand seemed to come alive, its arcane patterns glowing with dazzling pure white light.

Immediately after, a raging inferno suddenly ignited on the blade of the Wind Fire Blade.

Flames of purple and green intertwined constantly, emitting a dazzling light in the dim sky.

At the same time, visible ripples appeared in the void around the Wind Fire Blade, and space continuously twisted and transformed.

It seemed that a terrifying high temperature was contained within that mysterious purple-green flame.

Wu Wei was firmly held within the gigantic purple Gale Force hand, unable to move, while his entire body continuously emitted violently churning white smoke.

However, Wu Wei seemed to have human emotions as he stared intently at the flames on the blade in Lu Xuan's hand.

His eyes were filled with fear and unease!

Wu Wei's entire body began to twist and struggle, and a large amount of ink-black Yin energy surged out, as if he wanted to forcibly break free from the giant purple Gale Force beast.

“You wretch, die!”

Wu Wei's eyes bled strange blood-red tears, and the ink-black Yin energy on his body even began to show traces of blood-red energy.

Upon seeing Wu Wei's transformation, Lu Xuan lowered his eyes and thought to himself.

Is this the power of human resentment?

Zhang Yingxue in Jingtai Prefecture also had this power of resentment before, and now Wu Wei is the same.

Lu Xuan had always been guessing about Zhang Yingxue's mutation.

Now, Lu Xuan could confirm that humans could also turn into those evil and strange beings.

After getting the answer he wanted, Lu Xuan unhesitatingly wielded the Wind Fire Blade in his hand.

In the next instant, the purple-green flames wrapped around the Wind Fire Blade began to dance, like two swimming dragons, soaring from the blade.

The purple-green flame fire dragon traversed the sky at an extremely fast speed.

Along the way, it stirred up countless spatial ripples, carrying the high temperature that could incinerate everything, and quickly enveloped Wu Wei's body!

Having learned from Zhang Yingxue's lesson, Lu Xuan now had no intention of holding back against these resentful oddities.

These ghostly things would run into the void where Lu Xuan could not perceive them.

However, it would be soon, very soon.

Once he broke through to the Divine Palace Realm, perhaps he would be able to glimpse the true nature of these ghostly things.

Lu Xuan watched indifferently as Wu Wei was devoured little by little by the purple-green flames.

Lu Xuan had no pity for this ghostly thing, Wu Wei.

On his way to the Hua Residence, Lu Xuan had discovered that the common people in the vicinity had all disappeared.

Only some lingering Yin energy and scattered white bone powder remained.

Lu Xuan knew without thinking that the missing common people must have been harmed by this ghostly thing, Wu Wei!

“You wretch, die…”

In the void, after a final roar from the intensely burning purple-green flames, all movement ceased.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Outer Strength Grandmaster (Major Accomplishment)

Cultivation Techniques: Burning Heaven Blade Technique 1/9, Flowing Light Step Technique 7/9 (can be deduced), Undying and Unextinguished 0/9

Points: 2100

Please confirm, whether to consume 2000 system points to deduce Flowing Light Step Technique.

Hmm, I gained 2100 system points.

It seems that this Wu Wei is much weaker compared to Zhang Yingxue.

After all, Zhang Yingxue provided Lu Xuan with 2500 system points that time.

“Mystic Envoy, save me, please save my son.”

Bang!

As soon as the words fell, accompanied by the sound of the floor being smashed.

Lu Xuan still stood in the void, looking down below with indifferent eyes.

At this moment, Hua Tianhai was continuously kowtowing to Lu Xuan.

Hua Tianhai didn't even use the Inner Energy in his body; with only his aged body, he forcefully knocked his head against the hard ground.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan looked at Hua Yunfei, who was lying nearby, his life unknown.

Immediately, a swift purple Gale Force emerged from Lu Xuan's body, shot towards Hua Yunfei, and then surged into his body.

The remaining Yin energy in Hua Yunfei's body was instantly annihilated by Lu Xuan's Gale Force.

After completing this action, Lu Xuan's expression was calm, and he spoke softly.

“You are Hua Tianhai of the Tianhai Gang, right?”

“This matter originated from your Hua family, so all losses caused by this ghostly thing must be borne by your Tianhai Gang.”

“For the casualties among the common people near your Hua family, you must pay any price to properly settle them.”

“This Lord will have the Baidao Prefecture Prefect supervise your Tianhai Gang.”

“Did you remember? This Lord's words are only spoken once.”

Upon hearing Lu Xuan's punishment, Hua Tianhai's heart bled.

To settle the casualties of the common people nearby would require a massive amount of resources and money, even for the large Tianhai Gang.

However, facing Lu Xuan's decision, Hua Tianhai's face did not reveal any emotion.

Instead, he put on a very willing expression and continuously responded to Lu Xuan.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

“Your Excellency's words, this humble one will engrave them in my heart and never forget them for the rest of my life!”

After Hua Tianhai finished speaking, he cautiously looked up at the sky again.

It was then that he realized Lu Xuan's figure had already disappeared, leaving only a faint trace of purple light that hadn't completely vanished.

“Such terrifying power, truly worthy of an Outer Strength Grandmaster.”

Hua Tianhai slowly stood up from the ground, his expression appearing somewhat dazed.

Meanwhile, Hua Yunfei was helped up by Yu Rong.

Although Hua Yunfei had been saved, both of his arms were completely lost.

Even if Hua Yunfei was a martial artist (Blood Refinement Greater Accomplishment), without his arms, his strength would likely make it difficult for him to contend with an ordinary Blood Refinement Realm Minor Achievement martial artist.

Hua Tianhai looked at his son, whom he had painstakingly nurtured, falling to such a tragic state, and his eyes filled with fierce light.

“It's all this woman's fault. Father will deal with this disaster for you now!”

As he spoke, Hua Tianhai's figure flickered to Hua Yunfei's front, raising his aged palm and striking towards Yu Rong's face.

However, halfway through, Hua Tianhai's palm froze in mid-air and did not fall.

Because Hua Yunfei had already blocked his body in front, obstructing Hua Tianhai's attack.

“Father, your son is unfilial. Now I am almost like that cripple.”

“Please, Father, end your son's life with your own hands and spare Yu Rong's life!”

Hua Yunfei no longer had the imposing aura of a gang leader; his heart was like dead ash, and his face showed a calm expression.

“Hmph, useless thing, why don't you scram!”

“You good-for-nothing, remember this, immediately give me some grandchildren.”

Hua Tianhai retracted his palm, his hands clasped firmly behind his back, and spoke furiously.

After chasing away Hua Yunfei and Yu Rong, Hua Tianhai began to feel fortunate.

Fortunately, with his Inner Energy Realm martial cultivation, he could still live for another fifty or sixty years.

Inner Energy Realm martial artists, if they haven't suffered internal injuries, generally have a lifespan of around one hundred and eighty years.

As for Outer Strength Grandmasters, Hua Tianhai had heard that they seemed to have a lifespan approaching three hundred years.

They were simply old monsters among humans!

Therefore, Hua Tianhai still had time to cultivate the next generation's Hua family head.

Otherwise, this enormous Tianhai Gang would be destroyed in his hands.

Forget it, it's better to deal with the matter decided by that adult first.

Otherwise, their Tianhai Gang wouldn't need to think about anything else; they could just wash their necks and stand there waiting to die.

Thinking of this, Hua Tianhai dared not delay, his body swayed, and he rushed towards the Hua family gate.

At the Blackbird Guard residence, upon returning, Lu Xuan hastily instructed He Yan and Prefect Hong Zhi to take people to the east of the city to handle the aftermath.

As soon as he entered his courtyard, Lu Xuan frowned slightly, then walked directly towards the main room.

After Lu Xuan gently pushed open the door, his eyes looked towards the wooden shelf beside the large bed.

Behind the curtain of the wooden shelf, there was a hidden martial artist's aura.

It was the aura of an Inner Energy Major Accomplishment martial artist.

And within the entire Blackbird Guard residence, there was only that one woman who came from the Imperial Capital.

Black Feather Guard Thousand Feather Envoy, Shangguan Yunlan!

As an Inner Energy Major Accomplishment martial artist, Shangguan Yunlan naturally managed to bypass the Blackbird Guard at the gate and sneak in silently.

“Come out, Lady Yunlan, why have you come to this Lord's room?”

Lu Xuan walked to the table on his own, and sat down with a calm expression.

As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Yunlan slowly walked out from behind the curtain. Her figure, under the dazzling candlelight, was like a fairy under the moon, elegant and serene.

What surprised Lu Xuan somewhat was that Shangguan Yunlan had changed into an elegant, off-shoulder white long dress.

Her dark hair cascaded over her snow-white shoulders, giving Shangguan Yunlan's exquisite and fair face an indescribable aura.

“As expected of Lord Lu, Yunlan truly cannot hide from your perception.”

Shangguan Yunlan, at this moment, changed her previous serene demeanor and slowly walked to Lu Xuan's side.

“Lady Yunlan, if you have anything, you might as well tell this Lord directly.”

“If your Black Feather Guard has any questions, this Lord can answer them for you.”

Shangguan Yunlan did not sit down; instead, she approached Lu Xuan in an extremely ambiguous posture.

In Shangguan Yunlan's beautiful eyes, a strange light flickered.

“Lord Lu, Yunlan indeed has a question she wishes to ask you.”

Shangguan Yunlan's voice was soft, yet carried an unknown charm.

“Lord Lu, during your tenure in charge of Baidao Prefecture, the Blackbird Guard archives recorded seem to have many unreasonable discrepancies.”

“For example, those Heavenly Spiritual Objects you borrowed from Jingtai Prefecture, Yunlan couldn't find them in the treasury.”

“Also, when Mystic Envoy Li Chengfeng left Baidao Prefecture, the batch of Heavenly Spiritual Objects recorded in the treasury seems to have largely disappeared.”

“Furthermore, some matters regarding mission levels and the martial arts resources required for the Blackbird Guard's key training quotas, these areas all seem to have many anomalies.”

“Lord Lu, I wonder if what Yunlan said is incorrect?”

“If these were reported to His Majesty, it would be detrimental to you.”

“Yunlan doesn't want to do that, Lord Lu, please give Yunlan a reasonable explanation!”

After Shangguan Yunlan read her subordinate's summary, she was also shocked by the Baidao Prefecture's archives.

This Lu Xuan was the boldest and most arrogant man Shangguan Yunlan had ever met.

He was already causing chaos, completely disregarding the rules of the Blackbird Guard.

Whether it was martial arts resources or other aspects, this Lu Xuan basically made arbitrary decisions, completely ignoring the original rules of conduct.

Those who didn't know might think that this Baidao Prefecture Blackbird Guard was his, Lu Xuan's.

Lu Xuan saw this familiar scene and showed a strange expression on his face.

Madam, you also don't want…

How come the object has changed…

Pah, no, I'm thinking too much, why am I thinking about these…

Lu Xuan shook off the familiar images in his mind, then his face returned to normal.

“Lady Yunlan, this Lord has done this for a very important reason.”

“As for the reason behind it!”

“This concerns a major secret of the Blackbird Guard, and this Lord cannot reveal it to Lady Yunlan.”

“Presumably, Lady Yunlan also understands this Lord's difficulty and will not dwell on these matters, right?”

As early as when these Black Feather Guard members arrived, Lu Xuan had already thought of an excuse to deal with them.

It was simple: Lu Xuan would use the Blackbird Guard's authority as a pretext and casually dismiss these Black Feather Guard members.

Don't ask; if you ask, it's a major secret of the Blackbird Guard, no comment!

Lu Xuan did not believe that these Black Feather Guard members, upon hearing this reason, would dare to pester him further.

Of course, if these Black Feather Guard members didn't understand his words, then Lu Xuan still knew a bit of martial arts to make them leave Baidao Prefecture convinced.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yunlan's expression froze. She couldn't believe that Lu Xuan would give such an answer.

Lu Xuan's meaning was very clear: he was simply too lazy to even make up an excuse.

He had an attitude of fearlessness; the Black Feather Guard members could record whatever they wanted, he, Lu Xuan, simply didn't care.

Shangguan Yunlan was somewhat helpless about this, because Lu Xuan's identity had undergone a tremendous change in a short period of time.

From a Mystic Envoy of a single prefecture, he had transformed into the powerful Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard.

Now, every move Lu Xuan made could indeed represent the entire Great Xia Xuan Bird Guard!

“Lord Lu, you jest. Since it concerns a major secret of the Blackbird Guard, Yunlan naturally dares not inquire.”

Seeing that these matters had no effect on Lu Xuan, Shangguan Yunlan immediately changed the subject, remembering her ultimate purpose for coming here.

Her mother had once given her an order.

It was an imperial decree from His Majesty. His Majesty wanted her to test Lu Xuan's character.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yunlan's graceful figure unintentionally lowered itself.

Her movements were light and elegant, and her exquisite face quietly approached Lu Xuan.

Her cascading long hair gently fell from her snow-white shoulders, swaying gently in the breeze.

“Lord Lu, Yunlan has traveled a long distance from the Imperial Capital to An Prefecture and feels a bit unwell.”

“I heard that Lord Lu comes from a family of doctors. I wonder if you could examine Yunlan's body.”
