274: The strength of the Netherworld Python, Lu Xuan mobilizes people!

At the same time, White Mirage and Green King, who were at the bottom of the river, were also suddenly alerted by the Nether Python's words.

White Mirage slowly raised his head, looking at the surface of the Jinlin River ten thousand meters above, a hint of surprise in his voice: "What!"

"There's someone up there?"

Beside him, the thousand-zhang Green Serpent's two vertical pupils suddenly widened, a hint of fear and anger flashing in its cold eyes.

Then, its body violently churned at the bottom of the river, its scales slightly erect from tension, stirring up mud and sand, and causing the water to surge madly.

Terrifying whirlpools spread outwards in circles, and the entire riverbed fell into a state of chaos.

Just as the riverbed was in chaos, a strange green light flickered erratically.

In the blink of an eye, the thousand-zhang snake body rapidly contracted, transforming into a human form—it was Green King.

Green King's face was cold and pale, his small eyes filled with trepidation.

He gnashed his teeth and growled in a low voice: "It's that damned human!"

This sentence carried an undisguised fear, and Green King's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Clearly, the human above the Jinlin River had left an indelible shadow on him.

He remembered very clearly when he was in Bifeng Valley before.

If it weren't for Lord Shi's divine sense Nascent Soul True Person helping him resist the human in the sky at that time.

Then his thousand years of cultivation would have been ruined, his body and spirit extinguished, and he would have been mercilessly killed by that human above.

Green King's Gaffe made White Mirage unable to help but ask: "Green King, who exactly is that person?"

Green King's gaze was fixed on the river surface, his voice low and hoarse: "Those damned humans from the Blackbird Guard, Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard Lu Xuan!"

White Mirage's heart sank upon hearing this.

Although he had never seen Lu Xuan with his own eyes, he had long heard rumors about this Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard.

Even that old ghost Baigu had suffered a setback at the hands of this Lu Xuan.

"Lu Xuan... Why would he appear here so quickly?"

White Mirage muttered in a low voice, a hint of unease in his tone.

Although this young man Lu Xuan was young, he was the Mystic Guard Deputy Director of the Blackbird Guard.

Since even Lu Xuan, the Mystic Guard Deputy Director of the Blackbird Guard, had discovered the changes in the Jinlin River.

That was enough to prove it!

The Great Xia Dynasty had already noticed that the Nether Python was about to break free.

Forget it!

White Mirage sighed inwardly, the killing intent in his eyes gradually receding.

He silently looked up at the sky above the Jinlin River, having already made a decision in his heart.

If the situation was not right, he would immediately flee and not get entangled for a moment.

Just then, the majestic voice of the Nether Python came from the bottom of the river, an endless sense of oppression sweeping over them.

"This Lord still has one day before he can break free."

As the words fell, Lord Dragon's huge eyes slowly closed, and his massive body once again became still at the bottom of the river, as if merging with the surrounding darkness.

White Mirage's heart trembled slightly upon hearing this.

Lord Dragon was about to break free; if they could hold on for this one day, perhaps the situation could still turn around.

But at present, with Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard Lu Xuan personally present, it proved that the Blackbird Guard was watching like a tiger.

White Mirage was truly afraid that the mysterious Lord of the Blackbird Guard, who appears and disappears like a phantom, would also personally come to the Jinlin River.

And Green King, after receiving the news that Lord Dragon still needed one day to break free, had a cold expression, with complex emotions flickering in his eyes.

He clearly realized the current crisis, and he turned to White Mirage, hissing in a low voice: "One day... just hold on for one more day."

"After Lord Dragon breaks free, it will be the death of these Blackbird Guard!"

"Lord White Mirage, everything depends on you!"

After Green King finished speaking, he uncharacteristically bowed deeply to White Mirage, indicating that White Mirage should stop that Lu Xuan above.

White Mirage did not reply, only silently staring at the river surface, calculating in his heart.

Depend on me?

If it was just Lu Xuan alone, then he could easily stop him for one day.

Above the Jinlin River, Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his robes gently fluttering in the wind, his expression calm as he overlooked the river surface.

The surging killing intent at the bottom of the river, however, did not shake Lu Xuan's mind in the slightest.

Lu Xuan's arrival at the Jinlin River was completely unexpected.

It was all because of Li Chengfeng's words that Lu Xuan rushed over.

The day before yesterday, a sudden anomaly occurred in the Jinlin River; the river water poured out, and monstrous waves swept across both banks.

Even more astonishing was that all living beings near the Jinlin River, whether human or beast, fainted instantly.

This extremely strange phenomenon caused the people around the Jinlin River to flee frantically.

And Li Chengfeng, who was far away in Fu City, was shocked when he received this news.

He immediately suspected that something had gone wrong with the Nether Python at the bottom of the river, and he planned to report this anomaly to the Celestial Capital Xuan Bird Guard.

However, it just so happened that Lu Xuan returned to Baidao Prefecture at this time, and Li Chengfeng directly informed him of the matter.

"Old Lu, the anomaly in the Jinlin River is no small matter; it's very likely that something has gone wrong with the Nether Python at the bottom of the river."

Li Chengfeng's expression was solemn, his tone carrying a hint of urgency, "If that Nether Python breaks free, I'm afraid it will cause a monstrous disaster."

As a member of the Eight Great Families, Li Chengfeng was very clear about the terror of that Nether Python.

The one who sealed this Nether Python at the bottom of the Jinlin River back then was none other than the late Emperor Xia Ritain!

Upon hearing Li Chengfeng mention the Nether Python in the Jinlin River, Lu Xuan's heart trembled slightly, and a hint of profound meaning flashed in his eyes.

His return to Baidao Prefecture this time, besides visiting his father, actually had another important purpose.

That was for the Nether Python at the bottom of the Jinlin River, and the sacrificial artifact that sealed it.

Lu Xuan had been coveting this Nether Python for a long time.

It was not only a powerful demonic beast but also sealed by an extremely powerful sacrificial artifact.

That mysterious sacrificial artifact was from the hand of Emperor Tianqi Xia Ritain!

As the ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty, the sacrificial artifact he personally used must be extraordinary.

It was very likely the existence of a nine-pattern Moon-grade sacrificial artifact!

If he could simultaneously kill the Nether Python and obtain the sacrificial artifact left behind by Emperor Tianqi.

Then his breakthrough to the Void Realm True Lord realm would be just around the corner.

The Void Realm is the highest realm in the Great Xia Dynasty, without exception, at least according to the information Lu Xuan had obtained, it was so.

Countless cultivators in the hundreds of millions of miles of territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, throughout their entire lives, found it difficult to even touch the threshold of this realm.

And Lu Xuan had already stood at the peak of the Divine Palace Realm, just one step away from ascending to Void Tempering and becoming a true peerless expert.

"Nether Python...sacrificial artifact..." Lu Xuan murmured in a low voice, a hint of fervor flashing in his eyes.

Lu Xuan stood above the Jinlin River, his gaze penetrating layers of water, directly reaching the bottom of the river, as if he could take in the situation of White Mirage and Green King at a glance.

"Lord, it's up to you now."

"My realm is low, and facing a great demonic beast like the Nether Python, I feel somewhat powerless."

"Everything is entrusted to you!"

Although Lu Xuan's words were light, they seemed to carry an invisible pressure, causing the water flow at the bottom of the river to stagnate.

Then, these voices clearly entered the riverbed ten thousand meters below, casting a stone into the silent waters, stirring up ripples.

White Mirage and Green King, hidden at the bottom of the river, heard this and stared intently upwards.

A few breaths later, White Mirage's breath hitched, and a hint of terror flashed in his eyes.

He didn't hesitate at all, his figure surged forth, breaking through the water layer, and rapidly rushing towards the depths of the riverbed.

Of course, he wasn't going to find any Lord Dragon, but rather wanted to escape from this troublesome place by flowing down the riverbed.

"That woman from the Blackbird Guard has actually come; this place is not suitable for long!" White Mirage thought to himself, speeding up even more.

In White Mirage's understanding, that woman from the Blackbird Guard had unfathomable strength, she was simply a complete monster.

He was afraid that even if Elder Bai Yan came, he would probably die on the spot.

This was the closest White Mirage had ever been to death.

At this moment, White Mirage wished he had two more legs, using all his strength to escape this dangerous place.

Green King's face, on the other hand, was cold, his eyes filled with shock.

He clearly had not expected that White Mirage would run away without a word.

Didn't he say he would help our Lord Dragon resist these damned Blackbird Guard?

Green King hissed in a low voice: "White Mirage, you damned human!"

"How dare you desert in battle!"

"Lord Dragon will absolutely not let you go!"

Indeed, humans are not to be trusted!

They are all cunning villains!

To Green King's angry rebuke, White Mirage didn't even look back, his escaping speed, on the contrary, became even faster.

In the blink of an eye, White Mirage had completely disappeared into the distance, his whereabouts unknown.

Although Green King had uttered harsh words, they carried a hint of undisguised trembling.

Clearly, without White Mirage's presence.

He felt a deep sense of powerlessness facing the monstrous Lu Xuan alone.

On the river surface, Lu Xuan's gaze remained calm, as if he knew everything at the bottom of the river like the back of his hand.

Just then, beside Lu Xuan, another spatial rift suddenly appeared.

Immediately after, a purple-robed woman, her robes fluttering, stepped gracefully out of it with light steps.

She was a woman with a cold and exquisite face, skin as white as snow, exuding a sense of aloofness that kept people at a distance.

Her beautiful eyes were like clear mirrors, with purple light flowing within them as she looked around, and her cherry lips were elegant.

Around the purple-clad woman, there seemed to be a faint, ethereal purple mist, blocking out the mundane world.

And this woman was none other than the Lord of the Blackbird Guard, whom Lu Xuan had spoken of.

Purple Yao!

However, this extremely cold beauty, in a place Lu Xuan couldn't see, gave him a glare.

Even she, whose state of mind was as calm as water, felt deeply helpless about what Lu Xuan had just said.

The aura emanating from Lu Xuan's entire body was that of someone about to break through to the Aperture Void Realm.

Yet he had the nerve to say he was weak and dump all the troublesome matters on her.

"Lord, that Nether Python at the bottom of the river is left to you."

"Your subordinate will now go chase that demon from the Netherworld White Lotus Sect!"

With that, Lu Xuan's figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood, not waiting for Purple Yao to speak.

Before coming to Jinlin River, Lu Xuan had already calculated everything.

Facing the Nether Python, whose strength was unknown, Lu Xuan thought it over and decided!

For safety's sake, Lu Xuan directly chose to call for help!

After all, Lu Xuan wasn't here to act brave.

If someone could help, that would naturally be for the best.

Therefore, Lu Xuan did not hesitate and directly contacted this elusive Lord of the Blackbird Guard through his identity token.

Anyway, Lu Xuan didn't believe that this Lord Purple Yao would refuse to deal with the Nether Python.

When that Nether Python still had a glimmer of hope, Lu Xuan would personally take its life and gain a large amount of system points.

This guy!

Purple Yao watched Lu Xuan leave deeply, then once again turned her gaze to the bottom of the river.

"Strange!"

"How could a mere Major Achievement Demon King and a Major Achievement Divine Palace Realm martial artist affect the power of the Mystic Bird Sky Lock?"

On the other side, Lu Xuan's figure had already appeared fifty li away, but his gaze was still fixed on the center of the Jinlin River.

The next second, Lu Xuan gently pressed his right hand, as if condensing the power of heaven and earth into his palm.

"Hmph!"

"Where do you think you're going!"

Lu Xuan's voice was extremely cold; with a gentle press of his palm, an invisible force instantly pierced through the river water, heading straight for the bottom of the river.

In an instant, a violent storm erupted on the river surface, and a massive palm print, spanning the entire Jinlin River, slammed down onto the calm water.

Lu Xuan's palm print seemed to contain the power to destroy heaven and earth.

The river water, under the pressure of this enormous palm print, was instantly pushed aside, forming a huge vacuum zone.

Immediately after, the water flow at the bottom of the river suddenly surged, and an invisible force was stirring everything.

White Mirage, hiding at the bottom of the river, suddenly looked up at the sky, a hint of terror flashing in his eyes.

"Not good!"

As White Mirage thought to himself, a terrifying Impact water waves had already torn through all the water layers and was rushing towards his position.

That Impact water waves contained endless destructive power; wherever it passed, the river water retreated, forming a huge vacuum channel.

White Mirage felt that terrifying power, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

"Damn it!"

"Who said this Lu Xuan had strength comparable to a Major Achievement Divine Palace Realm martial artist?"

"Is this really a Nascent Soul True Person at Major Achievement Divine Palace Realm?"

This terrifying power, White Mirage had only witnessed it on Elder Bai Yan's body.

Just as that Impact water waves was about to hit White Mirage.

His figure suddenly flickered, transforming into a white light, and disappeared into the depths of the riverbed.

"Boom!"

The terrifying Impact water waves slammed into the riverbed, raising monstrous waves.

The entire Jinlin River trembled violently at this moment, the river water churning madly, as if it wanted to swallow everything around it.

On the river surface, Lu Xuan's figure remained motionless.

He slowly retracted his palm, as if the destructive blow just now was merely an effortless act.

In the void a thousand meters away from Lu Xuan, two figures floated in mid-air, confronting Lu Xuan from a distance.

One of them was White Mirage, his figure disheveled, his hair messy, his clothes in tatters, and his face still bearing the panic of having narrowly escaped death.

And the other person was someone Lu Xuan knew all too well—Baigu.

"Baigu!"

"This Lu Xuan's strength is unfathomable; he is absolutely not someone we two can contend with head-on!"

White Mirage transmitted his voice while warily glancing at Lu Xuan.

Earlier, while fleeing, he had used a unique method of the Netherworld White Lotus Sect to transmit his voice over a thousand li to Baigu.

Fortunately, Baigu happened to be near the Baidao Prefecture area, which was why she could arrive here so quickly.
