262: You can go, but Wu Jiu can’t!

“Oh?”

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of interest in his expression, as if he was carefully pondering Wu Jiu’s words.

The Wu Family?

They actually sent someone to negotiate with him?

He mused inwardly, it seemed it must be the person who had entrusted his Primordial Spirit power to Wu Jiu’s body.

Lu Xuan’s gaze slowly fell on Wu Jiu’s forehead, where a wisp of Divine Thought Primordial Spirit power was hidden.

According to Lu Xuan’s estimation, this power had already far surpassed a Nascent Soul True Person at the Major Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm, almost infinitely approaching a Martial Artist at the Perfection of the Divine Palace Realm.

The purple Texture on Wu Jiu’s forehead, whenever light flowed through it, carried a profound and heavy power of heaven and earth, as if it could crush mountains and dim the sun and moon.

Such a vast power of heaven and earth made even Lu Xuan feel a shock in his heart, and a hint of unconcealed surprise flashed in his eyes.

Evidently, the person who wanted to negotiate with him had an unfathomable martial arts Realm.

It was highly likely to be a top Martial Artist at the Perfection of the Divine Palace Realm, or perhaps, an old monster who transcended the Perfection of the Divine Palace Realm.

Lu Xuan’s eyes seemed to hide endless mysteries, the colors in his deep eyes changing rapidly, as if he was weighing the pros and cons, or thinking about something else.

Immediately after, Lu Xuan’s right hand suddenly reached forward, and in an instant, a vast and abyssal Divine Thought Primordial Spirit power, like a raging flood breaking a dam, poured down.

“Hmph!”

A cold snort emanated from Lu Xuan’s throat, carrying an undeniable majesty, “Come with this Lord!” His voice was like a great bell, reverberating in all directions.

While his words still echoed in the air, Lu Xuan’s right hand had already extended and accurately grasped the terrified Wu Jiu.

Lu Xuan’s movements were clean and precise, like picking up a helpless chick, he steadily lifted Wu Jiu’s body into mid-air.

At this instant, a terrifying power of heaven and earth surged from Lu Xuan’s right palm, firmly suppressing Wu Jiu.

This power of heaven and earth was too overbearing, completely disregarding whether Wu Jiu could withstand it.

Wu Jiu only felt his bones rattling all over, and the powerful Gale Force in his body seemed to be frozen, unable to circulate even a fraction of it.

Even the mysterious, light-flowing purple Texture on Wu Jiu’s forehead.

At this moment, it was as if cold water had been splashed on it, instantly dimming and losing all its Aura.

After Lu Xuan successfully broke through to the Perfection of the Divine Palace Realm, he subtly touched the Bottleneck of the Void Realm.

This Breakthrough brought about a world-shattering change in his strength.

How strong he was now, even he himself found it difficult to estimate.

Under Lu Xuan’s Divine Thought Primordial Spirit perception, an endless power seemed to surge around him, a deeper comprehension and control of the power of heaven and earth.

Currently, Lu Xuan’s control over the power of heaven and earth had reached a Realm that other Martial Artist of the Divine Palace Realm could not hope to achieve.

Lu Xuan could now effortlessly mobilize the vast power of heaven and earth at will.

Every time he circulated his Divine Thought Primordial Spirit to connect with the power of heaven and earth, Lu Xuan’s every move could cause changes in the wind and clouds.

Clearly, Lu Xuan had Cultivated the power of heaven and earth that could be controlled in the Divine Palace Realm to a state of absolute Perfection and Peak.

With a raise of Lu Xuan’s hand, infinite power of heaven and earth was at his disposal.

Therefore, the only thing Lu Xuan could confirm now was that within the scope of the Divine Palace Realm, and below the Void Realm, he had already stood at the Peak of strength.

Lu Xuan had absolute confidence that below the Void Realm, he was in an invincible position, capable of crushing everything with absolute strength!

It was precisely by virtue of this astonishing power that Lu Xuan was able to firmly suppress the Primordial Spirit power entrusted to Wu Jiu’s forehead.

Immediately, under the collective gaze of everyone, Lu Xuan calmly raised his other hand and gently waved it towards the Void Realm in front of him.

This movement seemed extremely gentle, yet it seemed to contain the immense power to tear apart heaven and earth.

In an instant, the ethereal space in front of him was forcibly split open by Lu Xuan.

Immediately after, to everyone’s disbelief, a deep, ink-black, endless opening suddenly appeared.

That spatial opening was like a black abyss leading directly to the netherworld, bottomless.

It continuously emitted a chilling Aura, as if it could swallow everything around it.

Lu Xuan glanced at the deep spatial rift, his expression unchanged, and directly lifted Wu Jiu.

After just one step, the figures of the two of them disappeared from the sight of Mu Yun and the others.

And that spatial rift, several meters high, also healed at an extremely fast speed after Lu Xuan stepped into it, leaving no trace.

Time flew by, and on a flat ground surrounded by mountains dozens of miles away.

The originally calm mid-air suddenly split open without warning, revealing a huge spatial rift, like a gash torn across heaven and earth.

Immediately after, an object, as if thrown by a powerful force, was violently flung out of the spatial rift.

Then, this object crashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

Looking closely, the object that fell so miserably was none other than Wu Jiu.

Lu Xuan had no pity in his heart for someone like Wu Jiu.

He knew that if he hadn’t appeared in time, Mu Yun would have likely suffered his cruel hand.

His hard-Cultivated martial arts cultivation would have turned into a dream bubble, instantly vanishing into thin air.

Just based on Wu Jiu’s attempt to cripple Mu Yun’s cultivation, Lu Xuan was completely justified in killing him, and it would be a righteous act.

Neither the Wu Family nor anyone else could find fault with Lu Xuan.

After all, according to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, anyone who dared to attack a Blackbird Guard would only face one outcome.

Death without mercy!

However, Lu Xuan did not immediately strike to kill. He knew in his heart that this Wu Jiu was just a minor figure.

The Wu Family behind him was the real trouble.

Lu Xuan wanted to see what those people from the Wu Family truly wanted to discuss with him.

If Lu Xuan hadn’t had this intention, then Wu Jiu just now wouldn’t have merely lost an arm.

His dog life wouldn’t even have the qualifications to see Lu Xuan before being crushed into dust by Lu Xuan’s Divine Thought Primordial Spirit power!

However, at this moment, Wu Jiu’s face was filled with humiliation, and his extremely resentful expression seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

He was, after all, a member of the Eight Great Families. How dared this scoundrel Lu Xuan humiliate him so!

Just as Wu Jiu could no longer restrain himself and was about to burst out regardless of the consequences, the purple Texture on his forehead, like mysterious runes ignited.

In an instant, the purple Texture radiated dazzling light, almost making people dizzy.

Immediately after, a strange scene occurred: the purple Texture seemed to gain a will of its own, Smartly peeling and detaching from Wu Jiu’s forehead.

The purple Texture that had detached from Wu Jiu’s forehead floated in the air.

A moment later, it gradually transformed into a clear and colossal illusory face.

This illusory face was several zhang tall, appearing as an extremely ancient elder.

The elder’s hair and beard were all white, like frost and snow, and his face was solemn, revealing an indescribable majesty and mystery.

As soon as Wu Jiu saw the elder’s illusory face appear in mid-air, his previously disheveled state from falling instantly gained a burst of energy.

Wu Jiu scrambled up from the ground using both hands and feet, a hint of resentment on his face, and shouted loudly, “Old Ancestor, that scoundrel brat is Lu Xuan!”

And the Lu Xuan, whom Wu Jiu spoke of with such resentment, was standing quietly ten meters away at this moment.

However, Wu Jiu’s accusation not only failed to gain the elder’s protection, but instead seemed to ignite a powder keg.

“Silence!” The elder roared, his voice like a great bell, as if it could shatter the sky, “You useless good-for-nothing, get out of my sight!”

The elder’s voice was filled with the anger of disappointment.

Under this pressure, Wu Jiu immediately froze in place, his face alternating between white and red, full of indignation but not daring to utter another word.

Because this Old Ancestor of the Wu Family was the Third Ancestor of the Wu Family, Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng!

An existence at the Half-step Void Realm.

Therefore, even if Wu Jiu had ten thousand guts, he would never dare to defy Ancestor Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng!

The reason why Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng reprimanded Wu Jiu so angrily was quite profound.

Just now, his Divine Thought, which was even more powerful than a Nascent Soul True Person, was actually forcibly suppressed by this extremely young Lu Xuan in front of him.

With just one hand, he could render his Divine Thought Primordial Spirit powerless to resist.

If this Lu Xuan in front of him hadn’t withdrawn that terrifying power of heaven and earth.

Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng even suspected that his Divine Thought Primordial Spirit would be completely obliterated by this Lu Xuan in an instant, turning into ashes, leaving no trace.

This Lu Xuan possessed such formidable strength, filling Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng with both shock and anger.

Under heaven, there was only one possibility for a Martial Artist who could so easily suppress his Divine Thought Primordial Spirit.

This Lu Xuan was either a Martial Artist at the Perfection of the Divine Palace Realm, or, like him, an existence at the Half-step Void Realm!

“Hiss!” Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng gasped, a storm raging in his heart, his gaze fixed on Lu Xuan.

This child was so powerful, truly terrifying!

His mind raced, countless thoughts flashing by.

At present, the Wu Family faced only two choices.

Firstly, to set aside past grievances, turn enemies into friends, and proactively befriend this martial arts Prodigy, Lu Xuan.

Befriending Lu Xuan would not only eliminate the misunderstanding between him and the Wu Family.

Perhaps they could even leverage his power and his identity as the Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard to allow the Wu Family to wield a portion of the Blackbird Guard’s power.

Secondly, to spare no effort, mobilize all the Wu Family’s forces, and try to completely eliminate this Lu Xuan to prevent future troubles.

But this was undoubtedly a very tricky matter.

The strength displayed by this Lu Xuan was simply too astonishing.

After Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng considered this, a benevolent smile quickly appeared on his aged face.

It was as if he had become a different person, so cordial that it caught one off guard.

“Daoist Lu,” Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng said calmly, with a hint of cordiality, “This Old Ancestor thought about it, perhaps there are some minor misunderstandings between us.”

“How about, for this Old Ancestor’s sake, the grievances between you and the Wu Family are written off, and bygones be bygones, what do you think?”

Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng paused, a glint flashing in his eyes, and said steadily, “The Four-Pattern Star Weapon Moon-Chasing Staff that was in your hands, Daoist Lu, was originally an item of our Wu Family.”

“But now, let’s consider it an item of apology gifted by our Wu Family to you, Daoist Lu.”

After stating this condition, Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng looked at Lu Xuan with anticipation, seemingly waiting for his reply, “Daoist Lu, what do you think?”

Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng looked utterly confident, believing that the conditions he offered Lu Xuan were already full of sincerity and a rare opportunity.

After all, on the land of the Great Xia Dynasty, those who could make the Wu Family, one of the Eight Great Families, bow down and concede were as rare as Phoenix feathers.

As a Half-step Void Realm expert and the Third Ancestor of the Wu Family, Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng lowering himself to say these words already showed how highly he regarded Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan, this junior, was a smart person; he knew how to choose.

As Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng expected, Lu Xuan indeed agreed to his proposed terms.

“Alright!”

Lu Xuan responded decisively.

Anyway, for himself, he could gain a valuable Four-Pattern Star Weapon for free without paying any price.

Why not engage in such a profitable deal?

“Excellent!”

Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng, seeing Lu Xuan agree, smiled broadly and spoke without delay.

“Daoist Lu, from now on, the grievances between you and our Wu Family will be written off.”

Saying this, the smile on Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng’s face grew even wider, and he enthusiastically invited, “If Daoist Lu returns to Tian Du in the future, I hope you will visit the Wu Family for a chat.”

“So that this Old Ancestor may have the opportunity to personally witness your demeanor, Daoist Lu.”

Below, Wu Jiu, seeing his own Old Ancestor chatting and laughing with Lu Xuan.

He stood frozen in place, his eyes wide, his face filled with disbelief.

This… what’s going on?

Old Ancestor, why did you change your mind!

Wu Jiu roared frantically in his heart, filled with hatred for Lu Xuan.

He didn’t want to see this junior, Lu Xuan, alive in this world for even a moment.

Didn’t they agree before?

They were going to make this junior, Lu Xuan, who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, bow his head and admit his mistake to the Wu Family, and then naturally reclaim his Four-Pattern Star Weapon Moon-Chasing Staff.

But the current scene, how did it turn into the Wu Family bowing to this scoundrel junior, Lu Xuan?

Damn Lu Xuan!

Wu Jiu felt his lungs were about to explode, and the raging anger in his chest burned fiercely, almost consuming him whole.

This scoundrel Lu Xuan almost took his life before and casually snatched his sacrificial weapon.

Now, it’s his fault instead?

Is there no law anymore?

However, before Wu Jiu could even open his mouth to dissuade him, Lu Xuan’s low voice drifted over.

“Today, Wu Jiu openly attacked and killed the Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard. According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, he shall be executed immediately!”

Lu Xuan said indifferently, his expression stern.

“You can leave, but Wu Jiu must stay and die!” With that, Lu Xuan didn’t even raise his eyelids, casually waving his hand at Wu Family Third Ancestor, Wu Sheng in mid-air.

This gesture was as if he was shooing away an insignificant fly, signaling him to leave quickly.
