120: Extortion, the lion's mouth is wide open!

“Was I discovered?”

From a distant house, Mo Ronghua saw Lu Xuan glance in his direction and knew that his peeping had been discovered by the other party.

“You all stay here.”

After Mo Ronghua finished speaking, he walked towards the inn.

Coincidentally, Zhao Sheng, on his way, saw Mo Ronghua’s figure and quickly said, “Lord Mo, our Mystic Envoy wants to invite you over.”

“Hmm, this Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) will go see him now.”

Inside the inn.

As soon as Mo Ronghua stepped into the inn, the main door instantly closed, causing his eyelids to twitch and a sense of shock to fill his heart.

However, Mo Ronghua did not get distracted for long; his eyes were bright and focused, staring at the person in front of him.

Such a young man?

Is he the Baidao Prefecture Mystic Envoy? A Martial Artist of the Inner Energy Major Achievement Realm?

The one who replaced Li Chengfeng?

After Mo Ronghua clearly saw Lu Xuan’s Face, his eyes instantly widened; he couldn't believe it was true.

With deep suspicion, Mo Ronghua spoke to Lu Xuan, “Your Excellency, are you the Baidao Prefecture Mystic Envoy?”

Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as deep as a star river, quietly observing Mo Ronghua.

It wasn’t until Mo Ronghua spoke that Lu Xuan lightly nodded, indicating his identity.

Upon receiving Lu Xuan’s confirmation, the shock in Mo Ronghua’s heart intensified.

Immediately, Lu Xuan calmly said, “You are the Jingtai Prefecture Mystic Envoy, aren’t you?”

“Lord Mo, I presume you have already guessed why this Envoy asked you to come over.”

Lu Xuan did not beat around the bush; he went straight to the point and brought up the matter of the two great demons with the other party.

“As this Envoy understands, these two great demons successfully escaped under Lord Mo’s command and fled to Fenglin County in Baidao Prefecture.”

“Lord Mo, do you not owe this Envoy an explanation for this matter?”

Upon hearing this, Mo Ronghua’s expression became somewhat strange.

Isn't this new Baidao Prefecture Mystic Envoy a bit too sharp?

They just met, and he didn't even exchange pleasantries, but immediately started to blame him!

Interesting!

Mo Ronghua, however, did not get angry because of Lu Xuan’s words; instead, he inquired about Lu Xuan’s name.

Most of the Martial Artists at the Inner Energy Major Achievement Realm within the Blackbird Guard were known to Mo Ronghua.

However, he had never seen such a young Martial Artist at the Inner Energy Major Achievement Realm as the one before him.

He truly wanted to know the origin of this young man.

“May I know the esteemed name of this Baidao Prefecture Mystic Envoy? This Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) is Mo Ronghua, the Jingtai Prefecture Mystic Envoy.”

“Lu Xuan!”

Lu Xuan calmly spoke two words.

Lu Xuan?

After hearing this name, Mo Ronghua thought to himself.

He had never heard of an Inner Energy Major Achievement Martial Artist with the surname Lu from Tiandu.

In Mo Ronghua’s memory, there was no major power with the surname Lu in Tiandu at all.

This shouldn’t be.

Could it be that this Lu Xuan comes from some reclusive great clan?

Otherwise, how could this young man, who appears to be around twenty years old, have already Cultivated to the Inner Energy Major Achievement Realm?

A peerless Prodigy!

Where did Li Chengfeng, that Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow), find such a shocking and formidable person!

No one knew how much shock Mo Ronghua felt in his heart at this moment.

As someone at the Inner Energy Major Achievement Realm, his Dao Heart had always been as firm as a rock.

That was until the moment he saw Lu Xuan.

His rock-solid Dao Heart had already begun to crack inch by inch, and his worldview in his mind also collapsed and was annihilated.

After a brief moment, Mo Ronghua’s complex and fluctuating emotions finally stabilized.

His Dao Heart almost collapsed.

There was no other way.

Facing a peerless Prodigy like Lu Xuan, anyone would doubt their life!

Mo Ronghua thought for a long time, then finally looked at Lu Xuan and slowly said, “Lord Lu, the appearance of those two great demons in Baidao Prefecture is indeed this Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow)’s fault.”

“After this Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) returns, he will truthfully report it to the Celestial Capital Xuan Bird Guard Headquarters.”

“At that time, this Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) will also acquire some resources from the Jingtai Prefecture Prefect to compensate for some of the losses in Fenglin County.”

“Lord Lu, do you find this handling result reasonable?”

After Mo Ronghua finished speaking, he raised his right hand and calmly and confidently stroked the pale beard on his chin.

He believed that this decision would definitely receive Lu Xuan’s support.

Therefore, Mo Ronghua displayed a relaxed and contented expression.

However, in the next second, Lu Xuan immediately said something that stunned Mo Ronghua.

“Unreasonable!”

Lu Xuan said these three words without hesitation, firmly rejecting Mo Ronghua’s decision.

Mo Ronghua’s hand, which was stroking his chin’s white beard, instantly froze in mid-air.

“Hmm?”

“Is this Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow)’s decision unreasonable?”

“Lord Lu, what is your brilliant idea?”

After Mo Ronghua finished speaking, Lu Xuan’s expressionless Face finally showed some emotion.

It was a smile that Lu Xuan considered very kind and warm!

Because Lu Xuan was waiting for this moment.

When Mo Ronghua saw Lu Xuan smile slightly at him, this scene immediately reminded Mo Ronghua of that ominous premonition he had earlier.

“Lord Mo, this is where you are wrong.”

“These two great demons not only caused devastating damage to Fenglin County but also forced this Envoy to drop everything and rush here from a thousand miles away.”

“To deal with these two terrifying great demons, this Envoy expended an unknown amount of effort to successfully kill them.”

“The resources consumed were even countless.”

“Therefore, Lord Mo, you must not only compensate for the losses suffered by Fenglin County but also compensate this Envoy for the massive resources consumed.”

Lu Xuan once again displayed his ability to make outrageous demands, his expression unchanged, speaking nonsense with his eyes wide open.

After Lu Xuan finished speaking, the inn fell into a deathly silence.

...

Mo Ronghua finally understood Lu Xuan’s meaning; his eyes widened again, his pupils shaking with an expression of disbelief.

Was he being blackmailed?

Good heavens, as a Xuan Level Blackbird Guard of noble status and high authority, a prominent figure in charge of a prefecture, Mo Ronghua never expected that there would be a day when he would be openly blackmailed.

Seeing Mo Ronghua silent, Lu Xuan spoke again, “What’s wrong, Lord Mo? You agree with my idea, don’t you?”

“How about this, I see that Lord Mo has endured hardships and pursued these two great demons diligently, which counts as fulfilling your duty.”

“This Envoy will not ask for too much compensation from you.”

“Just compensate this Envoy for the consumed losses with five Medium Grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects and twenty Low Grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects.”

“These resources are indeed a bit less than what this Envoy consumed to slay those two great demons.”

“However, this Envoy will reluctantly make do, out of consideration for Lord Mo’s Face.”

After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he displayed an expression that suggested he didn't mind taking a slight loss himself.
