243: Face the leader of Xuanniao Guard and the leader of Ziyao Guard directly!

Li Chengxing’s brows furrowed slightly, and a faint sense of unease rose in his heart.

Lord Lord’s tone was indeed different from usual; within his cold words, there seemed to be a hint of extremely suppressed anger.

He couldn’t help but recall the recent affairs within the Blackbird Guard, trying to find the reason that might have displeased Lord Lord.

“Forget it!”

Li Chengxing took a deep breath, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and quickly walked towards the courtyard where Lord Lu was in seclusion.

No matter why Lord Lord was angry, he now had to convey the message to Old Lu as soon as possible.

Just now, Li Chengxing had inadvertently noticed that the seal of Heaven and Earth’s power set by Lu Xuan had long since disappeared.

The dissipation of Heaven and Earth’s power didn’t that mean Lu Xuan had finished his seclusion?

Before long, Li Chengxing quietly arrived outside Lu Xuan’s courtyard.

Li Chengxing stood in front of the courtyard gate, his gaze slightly heavy, and he did not choose to knock.

Instead, he stood still and waited quietly, while his thoughts churned incessantly.

Could the rumor from Eastern Region Wentai Prefecture be true?

“If that rumor is true, then the matter is quite serious…” Li Chengxing murmured in a low voice, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He had long heard of the rumor from Eastern Region Wentai Prefecture, but he had never taken it seriously before.

However, today’s message from Lord Lord, and the hidden anger in his tone—

Plus, Lord Lord wanted him to find Old Lu immediately, which proved that something big was about to happen.

A day later.

Lu Xuan slowly rose from inside the main room, his aura completely contained.

Immediately after, Lu Xuan slightly raised his eyes, his deep gaze penetrating the door, as if he could directly see Li Chengxing waiting outside the courtyard.

When Li Chengxing arrived yesterday, although Lu Xuan was in the state of consolidating his primordial spirit, he could still sense the other party’s aura.

It was just that at the time, he was not convenient to interrupt his cultivation, so he did not respond to him immediately.

A moment later, the courtyard gate remained tightly shut, seemingly without any movement.

However, just as Li Chengxing stood waiting, a faint, almost imperceptible purple light suddenly flashed in the void behind him.

The ethereal space seemed to be gently torn open.

Immediately after, Lu Xuan’s figure appeared silently behind Li Chengxing like a ghost, without a sound, as if he had been standing there all along.

Lu Xuan’s expression was calm, his eyes as deep as an abyss, and his aura was restrained to the extreme.

Though he was right in front of him, he seemed to be integrated with the surrounding Heaven and Earth, without any sense of sharpness.

At first glance, Lu Xuan was just like the most ordinary passerby on the street.

Ever since Lu Xuan broke through to the Major Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm, he was surprised to find that the power of his primordial spirit within his God Palace had reached an unprecedented peak.

This vast and terrifying primordial spirit power not only greatly expanded Lu Xuan’s primordial spirit perception range, but also allowed him to skillfully control the Heaven and Earth’s power.

Furthermore, Lu Xuan could even perfectly integrate his physical aura into the Heaven and Earth, as if he could merge with the boundless Heaven and Earth.

Now, if one did not look directly at Lu Xuan with their own eyes, martial artists below the Divine Palace Realm would simply be unable to perceive his existence.

Even if Lu Xuan was close at hand, or even just a few steps away, those martial artists with lower martial arts realms would only feel that there was nothing in front of them.

It was as if Lu Xuan in front of them was just a wisp of invisible wind, or an illusory shadow of light.

“Old Li!”

Lu Xuan’s voice suddenly rang out, like a clap of thunder, instantly breaking the silence in the courtyard.

Li Chengxing, who had been standing in front of the courtyard gate, suddenly woke up, his body trembling slightly, and he quickly turned around.

His gaze was fixed on Lu Xuan, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

“No! Old Lu, you…” Li Chengxing opened his mouth, his voice still carrying a subtle tremor.

“When… when did you come out?”

A tumultuous wave surged in his heart; at such a close distance, he actually couldn’t perceive Lu Xuan’s presence.

As an Outer Strength Grandmaster at Major Achievement, with his perception abilities,

even a Major Achievement Divine Palace Realm expert would find it difficult to approach him without him noticing.

But Lu Xuan had done it, and done it so easily, as if he had always been standing there, and he had simply never noticed.

Lu Xuan looked at Li Chengxing’s shocked expression, he did not answer directly, but spoke calmly.

“Old Li, what is it that makes you wait for me here in advance?”

Upon hearing this, Li Chengxing’s expression changed several times.

He did not directly answer Lu Xuan’s question, but said with a wry smile, “Old Lu, your martial arts realm has probably advanced again, hasn’t it?”

“Even I can’t perceive your existence anymore.”

Indeed, comparing oneself to others can be infuriating!

Lu Xuan cultivated for more than ten days, and his martial arts realm had no bottlenecks; the speed of his martial arts cultivation improvement was incredibly fast.

As for himself, cultivating martial arts took years to even begin, and the improvement in his martial arts realm was negligible.

Such a disparity made Li Chengxing feel an inexpressible bitterness in his heart, a sense of powerlessness.

Li Chengxing couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; he simply couldn’t be compared to Lu Xuan, this peerless prodigy.

As this thought arose, a sudden feeling of doubting life surged within Li Chengxing’s heart.

This emotion was as if an invisible large hand instantly stirred his mind.

In the next instant, the Gale Force within Li Chengxing’s body began to become uncontrollable, violently surging and becoming chaotic.

Just then, Lu Xuan noticed Li Chengxing’s abnormality, and a dazzling purple light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Lu Xuan’s entire aura sharpened, and he sternly rebuked, “Old Li, your mind is in chaos!”

As he rebuked, a trace of primordial spirit power shot out from Lu Xuan’s God Palace, integrating into his words, carrying with it the boundless and world-shattering might of Heaven and Earth.

This immensely powerful force swiftly enveloped the turbulent Gale Force within Li Chengxing’s body layer by layer.

Lu Xuan’s primordial spirit power steadily suppressed and forcibly tamed the abnormal Gale Force within Li Chengxing’s body.

After speaking, Lu Xuan was filled with surprise.

Strange, why did Old Li suddenly have a heart demon?

Lu Xuan could still sense the fluctuations of Gale Force within Li Chengxing’s body; the aura was very weak, extremely chaotic, and highly unstable.

However, Lu Xuan’s doubt did not last long before he had already guessed the answer.

This should be when the Gale Force evolves into a God Palace and nurtures the subtle divine sense, the mind is affected by the endless Heaven and Earth’s power.

Because Li Chengxing was precisely at the Major Achievement of the Outer Strength Grandmaster realm, he was indeed progressing on the path towards evolving the God Palace within his body.

Would a martial artist at the Major Achievement of the Outer Strength Grandmaster realm have their mind corroded by the vast and boundless Heaven and Earth’s power when trying to break through to the Divine Palace Realm?

So that’s how it is!

No wonder, in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, there were as many Outer Strength Grandmaster martial artists as stars, yet there were extremely few true experts of the Divine Palace Realm.

However, Lu Xuan did not have this concern; the Heaven and Earth’s power he obtained when deducing cultivation methods on the system panel was the purest.

Under this extremely pure Heaven and Earth’s power, Lu Xuan naturally would not have his mind corroded by it.

Li Chengxing felt his body being tightly suppressed by an inexplicable force, unable to move.

In an instant, he woke up as if from a dream, a wave of lingering fear after escaping a disaster surged from the bottom of his heart, and cold sweat instantly drenched his back.

He secretly rejoiced, recalling the surging Heaven and Earth’s power just now, which seemed to want to completely devour him.

If Lu Xuan had not acted in time to annihilate those terrifying Heaven and Earth’s power,

he would probably have been engulfed by this Heaven and Earth’s power, leading to his death and the complete destruction of his soul.

Thinking of this, Li Chengxing still felt lingering fear, his voice slightly trembling: “Old Lu, I…”

Lu Xuan’s expression remained unchanged, he merely nodded slightly, and with a gentle tone, he interrupted Li Chengxing’s intention to continue speaking.

“Hmm, no need to worry.”

“Old Li, you haven’t answered my question yet.”

Seeing this, Li Chengxing no longer entangled himself, decisively put away his thoughts, and directly got to the point.

Then, when Li Chengxing spoke, his voice carried a hint of mysterious solemnity: “Old Lu, Lord Lord is looking for you.”

Lord Lord?

Is it that mysterious woman from last time?

The Lord of the Blackbird Guard, Purple Yao!

She’s looking for me so urgently, could something big have happened again?

Lu Xuan hadn’t forgotten that the last time this Lord Lord sought him out, she wanted him to deal with the chaos in Ming Prefecture.

In the end, it also indirectly involved two primordial spirit phantoms: one was an old woman from the Netherworld White Lotus Sect, and the other was the Lion Lord, a Heavenly Demon among the demonic beasts.

Lu Xuan frowned slightly at this thought, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but it quickly returned to normal.

Lu Xuan’s expression was calm, and he spoke faintly, “I understand.”

Then, Lu Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his words concise, and his aura subtly tensed.

“Where is Lord Lord at this moment?”

“The Blackbird Guard Main Hall!”

Li Chengxing answered very decisively, every word clear and precise, without any unnecessary parts.

Just as Li Chengxing stopped speaking, Lu Xuan’s body remained motionless.

However, the void around him suddenly twisted and shifted, and dazzling purple light rippled out like waves.

In an instant, Lu Xuan’s aura perfectly merged with the Heaven and Earth again, as if they had never been separated.

In mid-air, several fallen leaves gently drifted down.

But Lu Xuan’s figure, like a reflection in a mirror or the moon in water, vanished without a trace.

Li Chengxing stared blankly at the spot where Lu Xuan disappeared, and for a moment, his heart was filled with mixed emotions—shock, admiration, and emotion intertwined and surged, unable to regain his composure for a long time.

The Blackbird Guard Main Hall, Lu Xuan knew where this place was.

When Lu Xuan first entered the Celestial Capital Xuan Bird Guard headquarters, Mu Yun and Li Chengxing had already informed him of all the most confidential information about the Blackbird Guard.

This extremely secret Blackbird Guard Main Hall was a forbidden area of the Blackbird Guard headquarters.

Only those who served as Mystic Guard Deputy Director of the Blackbird Guard were qualified to enter.

Because the person residing in the Blackbird Guard Main Hall was the leader of all Blackbird Guards in the Great Xia Dynasty, the Lord of the Blackbird Guard.

Outside a majestic main hall, the passageway was entirely paved with uniform dark black jade bricks.

Each dark black jade brick was carved with exquisite and intricate patterns, delicate and complex.

However, when one’s gaze fell upon the overall design of the hall’s passageway, these patterns cleverly outlined a massive black Xuan Bird.

This black Xuan Bird was lifelike, poised to fly, exuding an aura of majesty and sanctity.

Outside the main hall entrance, five tall and graceful women stood quietly.

All five of them were dressed in azure Xuan Bird robes, their light garments gently fluttering in the wind.

These Xuan Bird robes were also embroidered with delicate black Xuan Bird patterns, identical to the Xuan Bird patterns on the jade bricks beneath their feet.

However, these five Huang Grade Xuan Niao Guards had stern faces and sharp eyes.

They solemnly and gravely scanned their surroundings, not missing any subtle movement.

Just then, a purple light suddenly flashed in the void in front of the five Blackbird Guards.

Immediately after, Lu Xuan’s figure stepped out steadily from the void, still enveloped by a trace of lingering purple aura.

The five women were first startled, their gazes instantly drawn to the suddenly appearing figure, their muscles tensed, their eyes filled with vigilance.

However, when they caught sight of the crimson crystal token hanging from Lu Xuan’s waist,

their suspended hearts instantly dropped, and their tightly strung nerves relaxed accordingly.

The last time Lu Xuan passed by this place with the two Mystic Guard Deputy Director, they had already deeply imprinted Lu Xuan’s appearance in their minds.

Within this Blackbird Guard headquarters, these five could be considered among the few who had seen Lu Xuan’s true face.

It was precisely because of this that they were able to quickly confirm Lu Xuan’s identity and let down their guard.

“We greet Lord Lu!”

“Lord Lu, Lord Lord has instructed us to immediately grant passage upon seeing you.”

After the leading woman spoke, she quickly gestured to the other four women to clear a path.

After Lu Xuan stepped into the Blackbird Guard Main Hall, his eyes met with a vast and brightly lit space, an overwhelming sense of emptiness.

On both sides of the main hall, four thick black giant pillars rose from the ground, reaching directly to the ceiling.

Each giant pillar was crafted from an unknown black crystal, its surface carved with spiraling patterns and agile, ethereal Xuan Bird motifs.

“Lord Lu!”

A gentle yet subtly cold voice quietly echoed in Lu Xuan’s ears.

In the blink of an eye, the light and shadows before Lu Xuan subtly wavered, dreamlike and illusory!

He saw a graceful woman, taking light steps, walking elegantly towards him.

She was dressed in a purple garment, meticulously stitched, every texture subtly concealing profound mysteries, perfectly outlining her alluring and delicate figure.

Her thousand-strand raven hair cascaded smoothly, gently swaying with each step, like flowing ink-colored silk, exuding faint whispers of enchantment.

As she drew closer, Lu Xuan could even discern a faint, translucent white glow swirling within her beautiful eyes.

“Greetings, Lord Lord!”

Lu Xuan’s gaze was open and direct, without any hint of avoidance, as he looked straight at Purple Yao before him.
