95: Black Feather Guard!

At this moment, Fengyue Brothel had transformed into an endless darkness, and the entrance had vanished.

In the blink of an eye, Uncle Qing, the middle-aged man, felt a chilling, ominous wind assault him.

Instantly, a blurry black figure appeared before him, draped in a green veil, its face indiscernible.

Ink-black hair, deep as an abyss, swayed without wind, like living, small snakes coiling and slithering in the air, gleaming with a cold, eerie light.

The next moment, the black figure's hair surged, carrying terrifying ominous energy, and swallowed the middle-aged man and Hua Jianghe like a sky-obscuring tide.

The middle-aged man's pupils constricted, feeling the terrifying ominous energy, and the Qi and Blood within him rapidly boiled.

The blade in his hand emitted plumes of white mist as he slashed at the wildly dancing hair, hoping to destroy the hair strands imbued with ominous energy.

Endless hair was severed by the sharp blade light, and countless strands floated in mid-air, shimmering with a deep, eerie glow.

However, it wasn't long before the middle-aged man's Qi and Blood rapidly deteriorated.

His great saber developed many cracks, and the hand holding the saber was already afflicted by a chilling, ominous energy, eroding the Qi and Blood within him.

"This ominous energy has already reached the level of a Li-level Wraith's complete form, hasn't it?"

A Li-level Wraith's complete form.

Only the Qi and Blood of a martial artist (Blood Refinement Greater Accomplishment) could contend with it.

His Qi and Blood, as a Minor Achievement, were completely unable to withstand this terrifying ominous energy.

According to the information he had heard back then, the Fengyue Brothel Ghost was supposedly just a Li-level Wraith, and a Blood Refinement Realm martial artist could eliminate it.

However, now this Fengyue Brothel Ghost had not only revived ahead of time, but its ominous energy also far exceeded the rumors of the past.

A hint of fear flashed in Uncle Qing's eyes as he watched the endless hair still swirling and lingering in the void, tightly surrounding both of them.

"Uncle Qing, save... me!"

Hua Jianghe, who was hiding behind the middle-aged man, let out a terrifying plea for help at this moment.

Uncle Qing immediately looked behind him upon hearing the sound.

He saw that Hua Jianghe's body was already covered in slender hair strands.

And these hair strands were precisely those that Uncle Qing had cut off earlier, which had fallen to the ground.

"Xiaohe!"

A trace of grief flashed in Uncle Qing's eyes.

Hua Jianghe had already been infiltrated by those terrifying ominous energies, beyond salvation, and in less than a few breaths, he turned into a withered skeleton.

And just as Uncle Qing's mournful roar fell, the sky-obscuring hair behind him began to dance wildly, engulfing him.

Early the next morning, Li Chengfeng personally came to invite Lu Xuan to the main hall for a discussion.

Li Chengfeng's old face was wreathed in smiles as he turned to Lu Xuan, who was sitting beside him, and spoke.

"Xuan Xiaoyou, come, sit here!"

"I heard from Zhao Sheng and the others that you seem very interested in the Blackbird Guard. I wonder if you are willing to join our Blackbird Guard."

Upon learning that Lu Xuan, this peerless genius, intended to join the Blackbird Guard, Li Chengfeng decided to strike while the iron was hot, wanting to sound out his intentions.

Lu Xuan looked up at Li Chengfeng upon hearing this, his face expressionless, and then calmly said,

"I do have that thought."

"It's just that I'm used to freedom, and I'm not very familiar with the rules of the Blackbird Guard.

Uncle Feng, if you don't mind, could you introduce them to me in detail?"

Lu Xuan was indeed very interested in joining the Blackbird Guard.

However, the Blackbird Guard belonged to the imperial court, and their actions would inevitably be restricted, which was not as free as acting alone.

If it weren't for the fact that the Blackbird Guard greatly aligned with his interests, Lu Xuan would truly not want to deal with these government officials.

"In that case, Xuan Xiaoyou, you don't have to worry."

"Our Blackbird Guard only obeys the current Great Xia Emperor, and the restrictions are not great; we can act first and report later."

"Even the local government must unconditionally obey the command of our Blackbird Guard."

"It's just that every year, some people from Tiandu will come out to inspect the Blackbird Guard in various Fu Citys."

Lu Xuan heard that the restrictions were not great and that he could act freely, and his last remaining concerns vanished like smoke.

However, Li Chengfeng's last sentence made Lu Xuan frown.

"Inspect?"

"Who are they?"

Coincidentally, what Lu Xuan disliked most was having people boss him around.

"Don't worry, Xuan Xiaoyou, those people have no right to command you. They are just here to inspect the situation of the Blackbird Guard."

"They investigate the Blackbird Guard's actions regarding the slaying of Wraiths and demonic beasts, and then report back to the current Great Xia Emperor in Tiandu."

"Black Feather Guard!"

If the Blackbird Guard was the Great Xia Emperor's blade for external affairs, then the Black Feather Guard was the Great Xia Emperor's eyes and ears, used to monitor the world.

Hmm?

The first thought that came to Lu Xuan's mind was that they were auditing the accounts.

Then he was relieved.

"By the way, Uncle Feng, I heard from Zhao Sheng that Heavenly Spiritual Objects are far more beneficial to martial artists than powerful medicinal herbs."

"I wonder if these Heavenly Spiritual Objects exist within the Blackbird Guard."

Then, Lu Xuan no longer concealed his intentions and asked what he most wanted to know.

If such Heavenly Spiritual Objects truly existed, then Lu Xuan would not have to rely solely on slaying those extraordinary Wraiths and demonic beasts to obtain System Points.

He could also consume Heavenly Spiritual Objects to gain a large number of System Points.

"Of course they do!"

"The Blackbird Guard in every Fu City will have a large number of Heavenly Spiritual Objects from Tiandu."

"Then, Heavenly Spiritual Objects are distributed based on the tasks completed by each Blackbird Guard."

"Only by completing tasks above Li-level will there be rewards of Heavenly Spiritual Objects."

"Heavenly Spiritual Objects are divided into several grades: low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and supreme-grade."

"As for the Fu City Blackbird Guard, most only have low-grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects, and a very few middle-grade heaven and earth treasure."

"Moreover, only one person in the Fu City Blackbird Guard can distribute and manage these Heavenly Spiritual Objects."

Li Chengfeng paused here, looking at Lu Xuan meaningfully.

"That person is the Xuan Level Blackbird Guard, who presides over the Blackbird Guard of a single Fu City."

Lu Xuan didn't care about Li Chengfeng's gaze; what he cared about was...

The number of Heavenly Spiritual Objects was actually limited.

This dashed Lu Xuan's idea of completing tasks without restraint and obtaining a large number of Heavenly Spiritual Objects.

"Uncle Feng, what if the number of Heavenly Spiritual Objects in the Fu City is insufficient?"

Eh!

Li Chengfeng was immediately startled by Lu Xuan's question; his eyes widened, looking at Lu Xuan in disbelief.

This Xuan Xiaoyou truly has a large appetite!

"If the Heavenly Spiritual Objects are insufficient, you can request them from the Blackbird Guard headquarters."

"However, it's best not to be too outrageous, otherwise, the Black Feather Guard will find out."

"At that time, if that person finds out, the consequences will be severe!"
