228: The surprise of the chief of the Heaven Monitoring Department! Lu Xuan is too evil

Around the Jiantian Division tower, the guards were heavily fortified, and unauthorized personnel were not allowed to approach; within a thousand-meter radius, a large number of Great Xia Capital guards patrolled.

The highest level of the Jiantian Division tower, with its peak thousands of feet high, was submerged in thick clouds.

The layers of clouds surged and clustered tightly, completely enveloping the Jiantian Division's tower peak, making it impossible for anyone to see clearly.

Inside the Jiantian Division's tower peak, there was a dark and profound scene.

Within the tower's pavilion, only a few golden-bright candlelight flickered and swayed in the deep darkness.

Like faint yet profound stars in the night sky.

At the same time, in the corners of the surrounding walls, some strange and exquisite crystals were placed.

These pebble-sized crystals quietly emitted a soft glow, intertwining and reflecting with the candlelight.

This outlined an illusory and charming silhouette within the dim space, subtly revealing an extremely mysterious and ancient feeling.

The very center of the pavilion, which was also the brightest spot.

There were several figures in gray cloaked robes sitting quietly around it.

The fabric of the gray robes was delicate and smooth, but it had an old luster, with layers of wrinkles, like patterns carved by long years.

Under the deep hood of the wide gray cloaks, their faces were completely hidden in shadow, making it impossible to discern any details.

These few people were close to each other, yet maintained a just-right silence.

Only when an occasional breeze blew, inadvertently stirring the hems of their robes on the ground, could their presence be revealed.

In the center where these few people were seated, there were two mirror-like circular objects.

One of these two mirrors looked very large, while the other appeared very small.

At the same time, the edges of one side of these two mirrors were tightly pressed together, as if they were naturally formed.

The large mirror was as tall as an adult, quietly suspended in mid-air.

Around the edge of the large mirror, it was tightly encased by a piece of fiery red crystal.

These fiery red crystals seemed like solidified flames, emitting a burning, scorching aura.

However, the mirror surface had a greenish ancient bronze luster, with countless mysterious patterns carved upon it, twisting and winding.

These patterns looked very ordinary, like an ancient well of a thousand years, without a ripple.

And the small mirror next to the large mirror was only one-third the size of the large mirror.

Its edge was inlaid with dark-colored crystals, their color deep but subtly flowing with a cool moonlight glow.

This was the most important item in the entire Jiantian Division.

The Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror!

A Moon-grade Nine-Pattern Sacrificial Artifact!

Even within the entire Great Xia Imperial Dynasty, it was one of the most precious sacrificial artifacts, second only to Sun-grade sacrificial artifacts.

The Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror was the treasure bestowed by the Holy Ancestor of the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty to the Jiantian Division as its tower-guarding treasure.

The large mirror was called the Sun Mirror, used to patrol the world and reflect all hidden powers.

The small mirror was the Moon Mirror, used to capture the aura of all living beings, leaving them nowhere to hide.

These two Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirrors, tightly pressed together, suddenly underwent some subtle changes without warning in the next moment.

The Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror vibrated abruptly, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

Immediately after, layers of ripples quietly appeared around the mirror body, like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

However, these ripples were not undulating in water, but on the calm mirror surface.

On the mirror surface, filled with mysterious patterns, each wave and ripple emitted a faint, profound glow.

This magical change naturally attracted the attention of the few people in front of the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror.

The bodies beneath the gray cloaked robes trembled slightly at the same time.

These people's lowered eyes instantly opened, sharp light shooting out, staring intently at the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror.

The leader was an old man, his face etched with deep and shallow furrows, his gray beard trembling slightly with his hurried breathing.

Deep within the old man's eyes, a terrifying gleam suddenly shot out, like two materialized sharp blades, instantly causing the distant candlelight to flicker ceaselessly.

At the same time, an invisible and majestic force suddenly permeated from the old man as its center.

The surrounding air seemed to be violently stirred by an invisible giant hand, emitting a low whistling sound.

Inside the pavilion, the previous deathly silence was instantly broken, and a faint voice suddenly echoed.

“The Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror is showing anomalies again?”

“Within just one day, not only did the aura of those Prodigies from the Netherworld White Lotus Sect appear, but also the power of a Yao Beast at the Heavenly Yao Realm.”

On the ancient bronze mirror surface of the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror, which shimmered with a greenish luster.

The mirror surface, originally as calm as an abyss, rippled like water, slowly revealing two faintly discernible static images.

The figures in those images were precisely the Primordial Spirit phantom of the old woman from the Netherworld White Lotus Sect and the Primordial Spirit phantom of the Lion Lord.

“Hmm?”

“Is it in Feihe Prefecture, Ming Prefecture, Southern Region?”

“This old man remembers, didn't that young fellow Li Chengxing personally go there?”

“Also, how could that old Prodigy, White Bone, be willing to release a Primordial Spirit phantom to appear in Feihe Prefecture, Ming Prefecture?”

The old man's gaze, like an eagle's, locked firmly onto the old woman's Primordial Spirit phantom, a storm seemingly brewing in his eyes.

The next second, the old man's eyes narrowed, and a dazzling gaze shot out, pouring into the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror.

After a few breaths, the doubt on the old man's face vanished, replaced by an expression of surprise.

“That old Prodigy, White Bone, actually forcibly peeled off this wisp of Divine Thought.”

“So that's it, no wonder she dared to openly appear in the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty.”

For a Martial Artist in the Divine Palace Realm, the power of Divine Thought is their most important source of strength.

If a Divine Palace Realm Martial Artist completely separates their Divine Thought from their main body, they will permanently lose a portion of their Divine Thought power.

That could potentially lead to Divine Palace chaos, incomplete Divine Thought, and a significant drop in strength.

“After peeling off her Divine Thought, even this Lord using the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror cannot capture her Divine Soul aura.”

“What decisive means!”

The identity of this old man who spoke was clear at this moment.

He was the master of this thousand-zhang tower, the Sky Gazing General of the Jiantian Division, Lü Ze!

He was also an old monster who had lived for four or five hundred years, having served three Great Xia Emperors, a Nascent Soul True Person at the Major Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm!

As a veteran of three dynasties, Lü Ze, the Sky Gazing General of the Jiantian Division, held an extremely high status in the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty.

However, for the past few centuries, Lü Ze had always stayed within the Jiantian Division tower, never going out, as if there was nothing in this world worth his attention.

Compared to Lü Ze's calm composure, the three people behind him found it difficult to maintain their steady demeanor.

“What?!”

“That Prodigy White Bone's Primordial Spirit phantom appeared in the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty?!”

“Lord!”

“Lord, should we immediately inform the Blackbird Guard?”

Lü Ze heard this but did not immediately respond.

He remained calm and composed, slowly extending his right hand, palm facing upwards.

In an instant, the air in his right palm seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand.

Centered on Lü Ze's right palm, it furiously swirled and rotated, forming a small vortex of Qi flow.

Then, from a certain direction in the pavilion, a blur shot out like an arrow leaving a bowstring.

Upon closer inspection, it was a small object, moving at an astonishing speed, leaving only a blurry trail in mid-air.

It was a token meticulously crafted from purple crystal, roughly half the size of Lü Ze's palm.

Around the purple token, wisps of mysterious purple light flowed, like purple mist gently rising from it, possessing a unique nobility and majesty.

If Lu Xuan were present at this moment, he would definitely recognize it.

The token in Lü Ze's hand was identical to the one in his own hand.

However, Lu Xuan's token was red, while the token in Lü Ze's hand was purple.

This purple token was naturally the Jiantian Division's means of contacting the Blackbird Guard.

It was even a token that directly contacted the Blackbird Guard Lord.

After Lü Ze received the purple token, his five fingers instantly exerted force, gripping it tightly, and the Divine Thought power within his body began to pour into the purple token.

Suddenly, a dazzling purple light cluster slowly emanated from the purple token in Lü Ze's hand, hovering in the air above the pavilion.

Lü Ze looked calmly at the mysterious purple light cluster, slowly opening his mouth, his voice steady and clear, as if it penetrated the hazy light and shadow.

“Vice Director Lu, in Feihe Prefecture, Ming Prefecture, Southern Region, White Bone's Primordial Spirit phantom has appeared.”

“That old Prodigy, White Bone, has already peeled off this wisp of Primordial Spirit power, making it impossible to track her location.”

“There is also a mysterious Yao Beast Primordial Spirit phantom.”

“However, that mysterious Yao Beast's Primordial Spirit phantom seems to have escaped the power of the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror through some mysterious means, and its whereabouts are unknown!”

Lü Ze's voice was clear and powerful, echoing continuously within the pavilion.

When Lü Ze finished speaking these words, the expressions of the three people behind him became somewhat grim.

The Jiantian Division, possessing the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror, was telling others that they could not find the source of the trouble plaguing a region.

In the past, no matter what methods those people used, as long as it didn't involve powers above Sun-grade sacrificial artifacts, they could all be revealed by the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror.

How could they be in such a predicament today, unable to even find a trace of a person?

It was all because of the shocking change that occurred in the Fell Spirit Ruin, causing the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror to be affected by the chaotic Heaven and Earth power.

Currently, the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror can at most detect enemies above the Divine Palace Realm.

For the remnants of the Netherworld White Lotus Sect below the Divine Palace Realm, the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror was helpless.

“White Bone's Primordial Spirit phantom?”

“Yao Beast Primordial Spirit phantom?”

After the purple light cluster uttered these two surprised sounds, it paused for a moment.

The dreamlike purple halo trembled slightly, then a voice emanated again, ethereal and empty, as if from a very distant place.

“I understand!”

As soon as the words fell, the dazzling purple light cluster, as if it had never existed, instantly dissipated into the Void Realm, leaving no trace.

Regarding the disappearance of the purple light cluster, Lü Ze felt no ripple in his heart, and without turning his head, his lips moved slightly, his tone flat but unquestionable.

“The few of you, immediately depart for the Imperial Palace and inform Your Majesty of this matter.”

As the Sky Gazing General of the Jiantian Division, Lü Ze's most important duty was to guard this Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror, not allowing any accidents to occur.

Unless he received an imperial decree from Your Majesty, Lü Ze would not easily leave the Jiantian Tower.

“Yes, Lord, we shall take our leave!”

The few people quickly stood up, looking extremely respectful, bowed to Lü Ze, and then swiftly left the pavilion.

After the footsteps in the pavilion gradually faded away, until they disappeared.

The pavilion was empty and silent, and only then did Lü Ze turn his gaze back to the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror standing in the hall.

The mirror surface flickered with a faint red glow, and the expression of the old woman's Primordial Spirit phantom was fully reflected in Lü Ze's eyes.

Lü Ze stared closely, seeing that the old woman's Primordial Spirit phantom's face showed a complex and grim expression.

Among them, on the old woman's Primordial Spirit phantom's face, there was visible anger, surging like a turbulent undercurrent in her eyes.

Who could it be that could make that old ghost White Bone appear in such a state? Truly rare.

Could it be that extremely mysterious Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard?

Lu Xuan, whom Your Majesty exceptionally and personally bestowed as the fourth Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard!

Only a handful of people knew about this new Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard, Lu Xuan.

And Lü Ze was one of those few people.

Interesting.

It's been many years since this old man has seen such a Prodigy of a young person; it seems this old bone of mine is truly old, sigh!

When Lu Xuan arrives at the Great Xia Capital, that will be the time his name spreads throughout the entire Great Xia Imperial Dynasty.

Perhaps, in that major event not long from now, he can bring some unexpected surprise to Your Majesty.

Of course, whether this surprise is good or bad will depend on Your Majesty's luck.

After all, with a Martial Dao Prodigy like Lu Xuan, who is rarely seen in ten thousand years, who can guess what his thoughts are?

While Lü Ze was lamenting about Lu Xuan.

At this moment, Lu Xuan was feeling stifled; he hadn't expected a Yao Beast at the Yao King Perfection Realm to slip away right under his nose.

What was even more frustrating was that Lu Xuan had just experienced this stifling situation not long ago.

It was with that person from the so-called Eight Great Families, the Wu Family.

Currently, Lu Xuan still carries the sacrificial artifact left by that Wu Family person.

However, this sacrificial artifact has an owner, which prevents Lu Xuan from refining the Heaven and Earth Origin power within it.

Yao King Yao Beast, Wu Family person, I, Lu, have noted this down, and will settle accounts with you later.

Lu Xuan's figure continuously flickered and drifted above the clouds.

After a moment, the scene of Bifeng Valley slowly reflected in Lu Xuan's eyes.

The ink-black sky curtain had long since vanished without a trace, revealing the scene within.

This time, Lu Xuan didn't need to act; Li Chengxing, with Mu Yun's help, was like a tiger with wings.

With an absolutely crushing advantage, he forcefully suppressed and killed Crimson Eagle and those two Prodigies from the Netherworld White Lotus Sect.
