229: It's you again, damned junior! The soul fled far away

In Bifeng Valley, Li Chengxing and Mu Yun stood side by side.

At their feet, a white lotus-shaped bronze artifact lay quietly.

“This is…?”

The next moment, Lu Xuan’s figure flashed like a ghost from mid-air, suddenly appearing behind Li Chengxing and Mu Yun.

Immediately after, Lu Xuan’s gaze was fixed on the white lotus bronze artifact.

It seems to be a sacrificial artifact!

“Lord Lu, I didn’t expect that after such a short time since our last meeting in Baidao Prefecture, we would meet again here in Ming Prefecture.”

Li Chengxing noticed someone behind him, and a warm smile quickly appeared on his face as he slowly turned around.

“This time, I really have to trouble Lord Lu to personally come to our aid.”

Mu Yun turned around right after Li Chengxing, his lips tightly sealed, not uttering a single word from beginning to end.

But the corner of Mu Yun’s eye, like a nimble thread, occasionally drifted towards Lu Xuan, his pupils hiding thoughts that others found hard to fathom.

Is this the Fourth Mystic Guard Deputy Director of the Blackbird Guard, personally bestowed by Your Majesty?

Li Chengxing then continued, introducing Mu Yun, who stood beside him, to Lu Xuan.

“Oh, by the way, Old Lu, this is Vice Director Mu Yun.”

Mu Yun, hearing this, reacted extremely quickly, speaking first before Lu Xuan could.

“Lord Lu, I’ve long admired your reputation, a great honor, a great honor.”

“Director Mu is too polite, I dare not accept such praise!”

Lu Xuan responded calmly, with a perfectly appropriate smile playing on his lips, his expression as serene as still water.

“Oh, by the way, Old Lu, this is for you!”

As Li Chengxing spoke, his right hand’s five fingers suddenly exerted force, and the airflow in his palm swirled rapidly like a vortex.

Accompanied by a faint whistling sound, the white lotus bronze artifact on the ground seemed to be pulled by an invisible giant force, steadily lifting into the air.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan reacted very quickly, raising a hand without thinking, and steadily catching the flying white lotus bronze artifact.

Upon successfully grasping the white lotus bronze artifact, Lu Xuan’s brows instantly furrowed into a ‘ Sichuan’ shape, his face full of confusion and bewilderment.

He looked up at Li Chengxing, but did not speak, instead waiting for Li Chengxing’s next move.

“Old Lu, this is something left behind by those demonic people of the Netherworld White Lotus Sect.”

“I think, Old Lu, you should be very clear about what this thing is!”

“This is one of the top sacrificial artifacts among those demonic people of the Netherworld White Lotus Sect.”

“Seven-Pattern Moon-Rank Artifact!” Li Chengxing emphasized these four words.

Moon-Rank Sacrificial Artifact!

After listening to Li Chengxing’s introduction, a purple glow involuntarily shot out from Lu Xuan’s eyes.

Sacrificial artifacts are divided into four Ranks: Sun, Moon, Star, and Constellation.

At the same time, sacrificial artifacts also have innate Origin patterns!

1-3 Heaven and Earth Origin patterns are Constellation-Rank sacrificial artifacts.

4-6 Heaven and Earth Origin patterns are Star-Rank sacrificial artifacts.

7-9 Heaven and Earth Origin patterns are Moon-Rank sacrificial artifacts.

As for Sun-Rank sacrificial artifacts, those are existences with ten or more Heaven and Earth Origin patterns.

Lu Xuan had not expected that he would actually obtain a Seven-Pattern Moon-Rank sacrificial artifact in this place, Feihe Prefecture of Ming Prefecture.

Looking at the Seven-Pattern Moon-Rank Artifact in his hand, Lu Xuan’s originally calm mood, like a deep pool, suddenly rippled, surging like ocean waves.

One must know that Lu Xuan could obtain tens of thousands of System points by refining a Constellation-Rank sacrificial artifact.

As for the higher Star-Rank sacrificial artifacts, Moon-Rank sacrificial artifacts, or even Sun-Rank sacrificial artifacts, Lu Xuan had truly never refined them.

“Old Lu, before you arrived, Old Mu and I received a message from Lord.”

“Your Majesty personally issued an imperial decree, ordering you to handle the disaster of this Ming Prefecture rebellion.”

“Therefore, these things left behind by the Netherworld White Lotus Sect are also to be handed over to you for handling.”

As Li Chengxing spoke, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally fell on the white lotus bronze artifact, his eyes seeming to carry a deep meaning.

Moon-Rank sacrificial artifact!

This was an extremely precious existence even within the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Because, in this Great Xia Dynasty, there were only about twenty of these extremely precious Moon-Rank sacrificial artifacts.

As for the Mystic Bird Sky Seal in Li Chengxing’s hand, that was temporarily given to him by Master of the Xuan Bird Guard Division Zi Yao for use, and it did not belong to him.

Let me handle it?

“Mm!”

“Very good!”

“Old Li, Director Mu, since that’s the case, then I won’t decline.”

Facing the temptation of a Moon-Rank sacrificial artifact, Lu Xuan naturally would not give up, and thus accepted it with peace of mind.

Immediately, Lu Xuan’s five fingers exerted a slight force, and a faint, almost imperceptible wisp of purple Qi inadvertently emanated from the palm of his right hand.

Like a nimble little purple snake, it swiftly vanished into the white lotus sacrificial artifact in a flash.

Detected Heaven and Earth Origin Power, currently in a sealed state, unable to extract.

“What!”

Lu Xuan’s face suddenly changed, an unconcealable shock appearing on his originally composed countenance.

The next instant, purple light burst forth from Lu Xuan’s eyes, staring intently at a certain spot like a hawk.

That spot was precisely near where the white lotus bronze artifact had been on the ground.

There, a tattered, blood-stained red robe lay sprawled on the ground.

Beneath that tattered red robe, a puddle of red and white mixed substance could vaguely be seen, seemingly crushed into an indistinct shape by some terrifying force.

“Hmph, you damned thing!”

Suddenly!

Lu Xuan let out a fierce roar, a cold snort that exploded like thunder, making the air hum.

The next moment, the solid ground beneath Lu Xuan’s feet, as if unable to bear the weight, instantly cracked like a spiderweb.

Cracks, like dark abysses leading to Hell, spread in all directions.

At the same time, strong winds raged within Bifeng Valley, sweeping through with overwhelming force, their howling sharp and piercing.

Above the sky, the originally calm clouds also seemed to be wantonly stirred by an invisible large hand, churning wildly, layer upon layer.

Without waiting for Li Chengxing and the other two to react, Lu Xuan swiftly raised his left hand like lightning, and profound purple radiance quickly emanated from the edges of his five fingers.

Immediately after, a scorching purple flame surged forth from Lu Xuan’s palm.

The purple flame, with its fierce momentum, instantly devoured the indistinct pool of blood and flesh.

“Ah!”

The next second, the flesh, violently burning with purple flames, immediately let out a mournful scream.

“Grand Elder, save me!”

“I don’t want to die!”

“It’s the voice of that old ghost Crimson Eagle!”

Li Chengxing’s pupils suddenly constricted, his face instantly turning ashen, as if all blood had been drained from it.

His lips trembled slightly, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

That old ghost, he should have been suppressed and killed by his own Mystic Bird Sky Seal, right?

How could he still be alive!

As an old fox, Li Chengxing always handled everything meticulously, not missing even the slightest detail.

To prevent that old ghost Crimson Eagle from not being completely dead, Li Chengxing had even specifically blasted his corpse into blood, until there was no sign of life.

Now you’re telling me that old ghost Crimson Eagle isn’t completely dead yet?

This was undoubtedly a direct blow to Li Chengxing.

While Li Chengxing was in a state of self-doubt, the red and white liquid, originally ruthlessly engulfed by the purple flames.

Began to swell bizarrely, in a manner that defied logic.

On the surface of the surging purple flames, there was a clearly outlined face.

Just then, a “whoosh” sound exploded.

A bizarre white light pierced through the violently burning purple flames, darting out, its speed so fast that it only left a blurry afterimage in mid-air.

When the white light reached the sky, its radiance began to intensify, and as the white light twisted, it gradually condensed into a giant facial phantom.

The phantom in the sky had clear features, exuding a chilling Aura, its hollow eyes constantly flickering, emitting dazzling white light.

Wisps of white airflow continuously circulated from its outline, contrasting with the raging purple flames below, adding a touch of eeriness.

After Lu Xuan looked up and saw this phantom, the Wind Fire Blade, which was tied to his waist, was already in his hand at some unknown point.

That white phantom in the sky was precisely the Primordial Spirit phantom of the old woman that Lu Xuan had defeated before.

Not cool, bro!

Is your Divine Thought power free?

Lu Xuan felt quite helpless about the appearance of the old woman’s Primordial Spirit phantom.

Can the Divine Thought of a Divine Palace Realm Martial Artist still be so casually attached to others?

Divine Thought power, that is the most core power within a Divine Palace Realm Martial Artist, the Foundation of the God Palace.

If Divine Palace Realm power is stripped from the God Palace repeatedly, then the Divine Palace Realm Martial Artist will ultimately suffer extremely severe backlash.

The other party daring to make such a crazy move clearly means she doesn’t care about her life.

The old woman’s Primordial Spirit phantom hung high in the sky, first coldly glancing downwards from above, her gaze like a deity looking down on the mortal world.

However, those indifferent and emotionless eyes, when they saw Lu Xuan on the ground.

The old woman’s Primordial Spirit phantom’s face clearly showed a look of surprise, her features slightly distorted by the unbelievable emotion.

Clearly, she had absolutely not expected to see this damned little brat again.

“It’s you again, you damned little brat!”

On the old woman’s Primordial Spirit phantom’s illusory face, her lips remained motionless.

But a roar, as if from the Nine Nether Hell, suddenly exploded without warning the next second.

The surrounding calm space was distorted and deformed by the sound waves, and ripples visible to the naked eye spread wildly, centered on the old woman’s Primordial Spirit phantom.

This roar seemed capable of shattering the air, carrying an unspeakable Aura, instantly piercing through everyone’s eardrums and reaching deep into their Souls.

Within Bifeng Valley, Li Chengxing and some Blackbird Guard members only felt a tremor in their hearts, their internal power surging, as if their internal organs were about to be shattered by this roar.

The old woman’s Primordial Spirit phantom’s roar was filled with endless malice and fury.

It was as if she was saying that between her and Lu Xuan, there was an irreconcilable, Undying and Unextinguished deep hatred.

Facing the seemingly materialized hostile gaze of the old woman’s Primordial Spirit phantom above, Lu Xuan remained unmoved, his expression showing no ripples, standing steadily in place.

However, the God Palace within Lu Xuan’s body was slowly condensing terrifying Divine Thought power.

“Hmph!”

“Damned brat!”

“Don’t let me meet you again, otherwise, I will surely make your God Palace vanish, and your life and Dao disappear!”

These few sentences, each like thunder, rumbled, making everyone’s eardrums ache.

But just then, something happened that made Li Chengxing and the others drop their jaws.

Above the firmament, that originally aggressive old woman’s Primordial Spirit phantom, which seemed intent on turning the place upside down.

After throwing these harsh words at Lu Xuan, the old woman’s Primordial Spirit phantom was like a startled bird.

She was seen flashing with white light all over her body, instantly transforming into a white escape light, moving as fast as white lightning, disappearing into the ends of the world in the blink of an eye.

Although she wished she could grind Lu Xuan to dust, after a few seconds of thought, the old woman’s Primordial Spirit phantom still chose to abandon Crimson Eagle.

The old woman’s Primordial Spirit phantom clearly knew that her Primordial Spirit power was no match for that junior of the Blackbird Guard below.

Because, this junior in front of her, his Martial Dao Realm Aura seemed like a Martial Artist who had just entered the Divine Palace Realm.

However, this was not the case. The terrifying flame Cultivation Technique that this junior used made his strength far exceed that of a Martial Artist at the Minor Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm.

It even infinitely approached the level of a Nascent Soul True Person!

After the old woman’s Primordial Spirit phantom disappeared, only a deathly silence remained in Bifeng Valley, along with the disbelief on Li Chengxing and the others’ faces.

As for the old woman’s Primordial Spirit phantom that had just appeared in the sky, Li Chengxing and Mu Yun naturally knew her identity.

The Grand Elder of the Netherworld White Lotus Sect, the old ghost Baigu, a Nascent Soul True Person at the Major Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm.

Li Chengxing narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of understanding flashing within them, as if the fog had suddenly dispersed, and he murmured softly.

“No wonder this fellow Crimson Eagle could hide from my perception; it turns out that old ghost Baigu was secretly assisting him.”

However, this old monster Baigu, a Nascent Soul True Person, was actually scared away.

Li Chengxing and Mu Yun were well aware that this absolutely had nothing to do with them.

Then there was only one possibility.

Lu Xuan!

Lu Xuan’s Martial Dao Realm was finally confirmed by Li Chengxing and Mu Yun at this moment.

Only a Martial Artist of the Divine Palace Realm could scare away the Divine Thought power of another Divine Palace Realm.

Without a doubt, Lu Xuan was definitely an existence of the Divine Palace Realm, and it was even possible that he was a Martial Artist above the Minor Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm.

Such a young Immortal Master of the Divine Palace Realm, Li Chengxing and Mu Yun were completely numb.

While Li Chengxing was lost in thought, his gaze wandering.

The outline within the purple flames gradually twisted and deformed, and before long, it turned into wisps of scattered ash, dissipating between heaven and earth.

After seeing the last line of text, Lu Xuan finally lowered his guard.

Once bitten by a snake, one fears the rope for ten years.

Lu Xuan did not want to experience that feeling of being played again.
