Chapter 411: Mysterious Dragon Roar! How Could Yin Qi Appear in This Place!

The motorcade slowly stopped in front of a courtyard that blended classical charm with modern design.

Here, trees provided ample shade, flowers bloomed in profusion, traditional upturned eaves coexisted harmoniously with simple glass curtain walls, and a smooth concrete path extended deep into the courtyard.

Three black sedans silently parked outside the courtyard gate.

At the entrance, three people were already waiting—a vigorous old man in his sixties stood in front, accompanied by a caregiver who was carefully supporting an elder of about eighty, whose brows conveyed an air of authority.

On either side of the main gate, two armed guards stood tall and solemn like bronze sculptures, their sharp gazes scanning the perimeter.

When Gong Qing in the back car and Lu Xiaoying in the middle car recognized the two elderly people waiting at the entrance, it was as if countless thunderclaps exploded in their minds.

The octogenarian elder being supported—even through the car window, they instantly recognized that face, which often appeared at the beginning of television programs... And the other vigorous old man in his sixties was none other than someone active in recent years... Lu Xiaoying subconsciously clutched Lu Xuan's sleeve tightly.

Gong Qing, meanwhile, sat stiffly in the back seat, unconsciously holding her breath. She felt a rush of blood to her head, almost fainting from excitement.

My goodness! Am I dreaming?

Gong Qing instinctively pinched her thigh hard, and a sharp pain instantly brought her to full awareness—this was not a dream, but reality unfolding.

At this moment, they truly understood the weight of the words "Qingquan Mountain."

Gong Qing quickly took several deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.

The elite guard in the passenger seat deftly exited the car and opened the rear door for Gong Qing.

Gong Qing suppressed the turbulent waves in her heart, her hand trembling slightly as she held the car door.

She took a deep breath and carefully stepped out of the car, repeatedly admonishing herself in her mind.

Stay calm! Please! You must stay calm!

Even if the sky fell, she absolutely could not lose her composure here!

Gong Qing quietly adjusted her breathing, displaying her professional agent's composure to the fullest.

Every movement was designed to be calm and appropriate; despite her heart pounding like a drum, she maintained a perfectly respectful demeanor on the surface.

In contrast, after her initial shock, Lu Xiaoying quickly reverted to her usual playful innocence.

She gently linked her arm with her Grandpa Lu Xuan's, leaning against his side, as if she had found the most solid support.

That familial closeness, stemming from their Bloodline, prevented her from feeling the heavy pressure that external status and position might bring.

"Hahahaha—!"

Just then, a hearty, resonant laugh broke the solemnity of the scene.

The sixty-year-old elder, whom Gong Qing considered unapproachable, now stepped forward quickly and extended both hands.

His face showed undisguised joy and respect, and he spoke in a clear voice.

"Old Master Lu! It's been many years, and your demeanor is still as splendid as ever! It's truly been a long time!"

This sudden scene made Gong Qing's pupils constrict in the distance, her mind almost going blank.

She witnessed this person, in an almost Junior-like posture, extending such a warm and cordial greeting to Lu Xuan.

"Oh, it's Tangshi." Lu Xuan's voice was gentle and calm, as if greeting an ordinary Junior.

His left arm was tightly held by Lu Xiaoying, who had suddenly become "socially anxious"; the girl almost hid her entire body behind her Grandpa.

On his right stood a flustered Gong Qing, who breathed as lightly as possible, as if afraid to disturb this meeting that transcended her understanding.

In this peculiar atmosphere, Lu Xuan calmly extended his right hand and firmly grasped the hand of Huang Tangshi, who had stepped forward quickly.

This scene sent a shock through Gong Qing's heart; she finally realized that Old Master Lu's status might be even more extraordinary than her wildest imagination.

Huang Tangshi was the eldest son of the Huang Family.

In terms of lineage, Huang Tangming, who had recently visited Lu Xuan in Yingnan City, was his younger brother.

This eldest son of the Huang Family, after forty years of ups and downs, had now become an important member of the elders.

He not only bore the heavy responsibility of... but also fully controlled the entire vast network of the Huang Family, serving as the undisputed helmsman of the Family.

When facing Lu Xuan, Huang Tangshi completely shed the gravitas of a powerful figure.

He bowed slightly, his hands always tightly clasping Lu Xuan's right hand, his posture as respectful as if facing his most revered elder.

However, if anyone could peer into Huang Tangming's heart at this moment, they would be greatly astonished.

This elder, who had seen countless storms, was experiencing turbulent waves deep within his heart.

This extraordinary respect stemmed precisely from his admiration for Lu Xuan.

Just a few days ago, he had finished reading the secret report from Yingnan City and the top-secret footage.

In the video, this seemingly ordinary elder walked effortlessly atop the 300-meter-high Yingnan Tower.

Amidst the explosion's fire and the extreme altitude, he rescued Lu Guangchen and Lu Guanghai, who were on the brink of death, in a manner that defied physical laws.

This miraculous scene could no longer be explained by any existing scientific theory, and it was certainly a Domain beyond human reach.

Therefore, the day after witnessing the Yingnan Tower incident, Huang Tangshi and the other elders urgently discussed this important matter.

After an hour of closed-door deliberation, a resolution was swiftly passed.

Lu Xuan, his person, and all related deeds were to be designated as the highest national secret of the Dragon Kingdom and permanently sealed.

His internal top-secret codename, unanimously decided by everyone, was—"Dragon God."

(Full name: God of the Dragon Kingdom, the ultimate evolutionary limit of humanity!)

This codename not only represented the Dragon Kingdom's highest recognition of his power but also embodied a reverence and expectation that transcended the mundane.

Not far away, the octogenarian elder, carefully supported by a caregiver, though his hair was now completely white, still carried the bearing of one who had once commanded the nation.

He was Grandpa Huang.

At this moment, Lu Xuan took the initiative to step forward.

Because the person before him was not only a former elder of the Dragon Kingdom but also a close old friend of the Physical Body's original owner.

At this moment, this old friend of the original body was experiencing the inevitable decay of a mortal Physical Body—his legs were inconvenient, requiring others to support him to stand steadily.

Alas, the flesh is weak... Lu Xuan quickened his pace, arriving before Grandpa Huang under everyone's gaze.

"Grandpa Huang, I trust you are well."

Lu Xuan stepped forward steadily, extending his right hand.

The octogenarian elder, whose brows once commanded the nation, now tremblingly extended both hands and clasped Lu Xuan's hand tightly.

Veins slightly protruded on the back of his hand, marked by the passage of time, yet he maintained a firm grip.

"Big Brother Xuan, I'm sorry to have troubled you to come all this way."

Grandpa Huang's voice was hoarse with age but filled with sincere gratitude.

Lu Xuan said nothing more, simply placing his left hand over his old friend's hand and patting it gently.

At this moment, a thousand words merged into these clasped hands.

The friendship, tempered by years, no longer needed many words to adorn it.

A simple and elegant room.

The furnishings inside were surprisingly sparse—plain white walls, wooden floors, and an old single-seater sofa covered with a faded gauze cloth.

An enamel cup sat on the coffee table, making it seem like a common household living room.

However, at this moment, sitting on this simple sofa were the influential elders, Huang Tangshi and Grandpa Huang, as well as Lu Xuan.

Lu Xiaoying and Gong Qing sat quietly by their side.

This extremely minimalist environment, instead, exuded a solemnity that returned to simplicity.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Grandpa Huang's gentle gaze turned to the two women beside Lu Xuan, and he was the first to speak with a smile.

"Big Brother Xuan, these two are...?"

Lu Xuan, sitting beside him, nodded slightly and calmly introduced, "This is my granddaughter Lu Xiaoying, and next to her is her friend Gong Qing."

The two, whose names were called, quickly stood up.

Lu Xiaoying, though a bit shy, still bowed obediently and greeted, "Hello, Grandpa Huang, hello, Grandpa Shi."

Gong Qing was still in a daze at this moment—from the moment she stepped into this courtyard, her understanding had been constantly refreshed.

All her actions now were instinctive reactions; she almost subconsciously followed Lu Xiaoying in bowing, her voice even carrying an imperceptible tremor.

Looking at these two before her... a sense of unreality welled up in her heart.

I, Gong Qing, an ordinary person, how could I be so fortunate to have a day like this...

This thought echoed in her mind, making her even breathe cautiously.

At this moment, Gong Qing truly felt—she had no regrets in this life.

Grandpa Huang smiled kindly and waved his hand, "Good, good, you are all good children, please sit."

His gaze lingered on Lu Xiaoying for a moment, and he sighed to Lu Xuan, "Time flies, even Big Brother Xuan's obedient granddaughter has grown so big."

However, just in this seemingly ordinary moment of small talk, Lu Xuan's expression suddenly turned stern.

A golden ripple flashed in his eyes, and his gaze shot like lightning towards the Void Realm in the direction of the door.

With his keen perception at the Baodan Realm, he could clearly capture a trace of something that should not exist here at this time!

Huang Tangshi, who was sitting nearby, immediately noticed Lu Xuan's abnormality.

Although he couldn't see the invisible entity, seeing Lu Xuan's sudden change in expression, alarm bells rang in his heart, and he immediately looked in the direction of Lu Xuan's gaze.

In the Void Realm directly opposite the door, a subtle ripple flashed and disappeared, accompanied by a few faint wisps of black Qi quietly dissipating.

Yin Qi?

Lu Xuan's brow furrowed slightly.

How could such extreme Yin Qi appear in a sacred place like Qingquan Mountain?

This matter is definitely not simple.

Just as Lu Xuan's thoughts stirred, and the Dan Jin in his body was about to surge out.

A Dragon's Roar, spanning eons, suddenly resounded!

This long roar seemed to descend from the Nine Heavens, and also seemed to awaken from the depths of the earth's veins; the long and majestic sound wave instantly swept across several miles.

The solemn and sacred, irresistible will contained within the sound, like a heavenly decree, pierced directly into the Divine Soul—it was an absolute suppression on a spiritual level beyond ordinary comprehension.

However, this Dragon's Roar, which lasted for nearly a minute and was enough to awe all living beings, seemed to only echo in Lu Xuan's perception.

He looked around—Huang Tangshi, though alerted by his previous abnormality, now looked puzzled.

And Grandpa Huang, Lu Xiaoying, and others looked as usual, completely unaware of this silent thunder that enveloped heaven and earth.

Just as the lingering sound of the Dragon's Roar was still echoing in Lu Xuan's Sea of Consciousness—

"Bang!"

The room door was suddenly shaken open by an invisible Qi, and two figures appeared at the door like startled swans.

The elder on the left was dressed in a crimson Daoist robe, with arcane cloud patterns embroidered on the corners of his robe.

The elder on the right wore a solemn purple Daoist robe and held an ancient whisk.

Both had white hair and beards, but their complexions were ruddy, their eyes sparkled with intelligence, and they exuded a righteous aura, clearly highly accomplished Daoist masters.

"Old Master Shi, Grandpa Huang!" The Daoist Priest in Purple Robe's voice was like a great bell, urgent, "Just now, we detected the manifestation of malevolent Yin Qi here during our meditation, and we came to investigate!"

His sharp gaze quickly swept across the entire room, from the ceiling to the corners, from every person to every object, not missing any corner.

After confirming that no trace of Yin Qi remained, the Daoist Priest in Purple Robe let out a long sigh of relief, gently flicking his whisk, "Fortunately, that evil entity seems to have been dispelled."

"Evil entity? What evil entity?"

The Daoist Priest in Purple Robe's words stunned everyone present.

Lu Xiaoying and Gong Qing looked at each other, completely unaware of what had happened..

But two people present instantly understood the key—Grandpa Huang and Huang Tangshi, both simultaneously cast their gazes towards Lu Xuan.

Especially Huang Tangshi, Old Master Lu's abnormal reaction just now perfectly corroborated the Daoist Priest in Purple Robe's words.

Grandpa Huang leaned forward slightly, his tone filled with concern, "Big Brother Xuan, did something happen just now that we don't know about?"

"How could it alarm these two Great Masters to come in person!"

Huang Tangshi's reaction was even more direct; he looked at Lu Xuan with a solemn expression, "Old Master Lu, did something unclean appear just now?"

The two Daoist Priests also followed the gazes of Huang Tangshi and Grandpa Huang, and for the first time seriously scrutinized the extraordinary Lu Xuan.

"Hmm, indeed, a few unclean things were peeking around here just now."

Lu Xuan responded calmly, his gaze then falling on the two Daoist Priests.

In the instant their eyes met—

"Boom!"

The two Daoist Priests felt a vast, scorching aura, like a blazing sun, rush towards them!

It was not killing intent, but pure, ultimate life force, like the midday sun, emanating infinite light and vitality.

Physical Body Becoming Sacred!

This Realm, which only existed in ancient records, boomed and resounded in their minds like a great bell.

They had Cultivated for decades, witnessed countless National Art masters who tempered their Physical Body, including many Grandmasters at the Perfection of Transcendent Realm.

But no one had ever been able to Cultivate their Physical Body to such a perfect, flawless, and supreme Realm that resonated with heaven and earth, like the old man before them!

The whisk in the Daoist Priest in Purple Robe's hand moved without wind; he suppressed the shock in his heart and exchanged a horrified glance with the Daoist Priest in Crimson Robe beside him.

The two Daoist Priests trembled slightly, and both unconsciously took half a step back, fine beads of sweat already seeping from their foreheads.

This... who on earth is this immortal descending to the mortal world?

They had Cultivated for sixty years and had never felt such an awe-inspiring level of life. This was clearly an immortal descending!

Lu Xuan ignored their shock, his gaze like lightning, suddenly fixed on the feet of the Daoist Priest in Crimson Robe.

"Two Great Masters, those things just now left a little something behind."

Upon hearing this, the Daoist Priest in Crimson Robe followed Lu Xuan's gaze and looked at his own feet.

He abruptly floated back more than a zhang, as if the floor beneath his feet was not ordinary flooring, but a red-hot branding iron.

Everyone followed his gaze, and their hearts simultaneously tightened.

On the clean floor, there lay a "toll paper" deliberately cut into a perfectly round shape.

It was originally ghost money (money for the dead) scattered into the Yellow Springs during funerals to appease lonely ghosts, but now it had been artificially cut to remove the middle part representing the "square hole," becoming a complete circle.

A lock of dark, lustrous long hair was tightly entwined and wrapped by this ominous circular paper money.

The entire room instantly became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

"Hmph, truly damnable, summoning ghosts and attracting malevolent Qi, a wicked Leftist Daoist sorcery that harms heaven and earth!"

The Daoist Priest in Crimson Robe's eyes were like torches; he exchanged a glance with the Daoist Priest in Purple Robe, both seeing the sternness in each other's eyes.

The Daoist Priest in Crimson Robe pointed his fingers like a sword and made a virtual circle in the air towards the evil object on the ground.

A faint, almost imperceptible clear light flashed, and only then did he bend down, using a specially made yellow talisman to pad his hand, carefully picking up the circular toll paper entwined with hair.

"Old Master Shi, Grandpa Huang," the Daoist Priest in Purple Robe turned and solemnly bowed to the two elders, "This object is both a clue and a root of disaster. We must immediately go to the quiet room and jointly perform the 'Tracing the Source and Seeking the Truth' method."

The Daoist Priest in Crimson Robe snorted coldly, his tone filled with absolute confidence and a hint of killing intent, "Please rest assured, two elders."

"With this medium in hand, no matter which dark corner the rat who cast the spell hides in, he will certainly have nowhere to escape!"

"Before sunset, we will give the two elders an explanation!"

With that, the two bowed again, holding the evil object, and turned to leave with swift steps, the wide sleeves of their Daoist robes stirring a gentle breeze.

Seeing that the two Daoist Priests had left with the clue, Lu Xuan knew the time was ripe. He turned to Lu Xiaoying beside him, his gaze gentle, and smiled.

"Xiaoying, Xiaoqing, you two go for a walk in the outer courtyard and enjoy the scenery first."

"Grandpa Huang, Old Master Shi, and I have some things to discuss privately."

Lu Xiaoying nodded obediently, immediately pulled the still somewhat dazed Gong Qing to her feet, bowed to the two elders, and then exited the room.

After the two of them left, the door gently closed.

The atmosphere in the room immediately shifted, from the casual Family chat of before to a profound stillness concerning important matters.

Lu Xuan's trip to The Capital was by no means solely for visiting the original owner's old acquaintances.

The Karma left by the original owner of this Physical Body was one aspect, and he himself also had important matters that required the assistance of the master of this place.

At the same time, Grandpa Huang and Huang Tangshi exchanged glances, their expressions also becoming solemn.

Their urgent invitation for Lu Xuan to come was naturally not just for reminiscing.

It was a major entrustment concerning the Dragon Kingdom.

Therefore, an reclusive master like Lu Xuan, a legendary National Art Grandmaster, became extremely important.
