69: Lu Xuan's strength surprised Zhao Sheng and the other two.

These corpses, still imbued with Yin energy, should be worth at least several dozen System Points.

In less than a moment, those dead bodies were reduced to ashes by the blazing scarlet flames.

Lu Xuan's mind stirred, and the System Panel appeared before him, its information laid bare.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Inner Qi Realm (Major Achievement)

Cultivation Techniques: Scarlet Flame Saber Technique 4/9, Wind Chasing Step 2/9

Points: 43

Seeing that 23 System Points had been added to the System Panel,

Lu Xuan finally put away the System Panel with satisfaction and then looked at Zhao Sheng and the other two.

"Who is Senior?"

Zhao Sheng and the other two adopted defensive stances, seemingly feeling immense pressure from Lu Xuan's appearance.

Who had ever seen a good person appear by unleashing terrifying flames right in front of them, incinerating all the corpses on the ground?

Zhao Sheng had already made his judgment; judging by the blazing flames on the ground, the opponent's strength was definitely above his.

Blood Refinement Realm Completion?

Or perhaps...

Zhao Sheng didn't even dare to think further.

Because he couldn't believe that this man, who looked so young, would be an existence of that realm.

Was his youthful appearance due to meticulous disguise, or was he naturally that young?

Zhao Sheng leaned more towards the first possibility.

Otherwise, why would such a young powerhouse, a martial artist above the Blood Refinement Realm, appear in tiny Dengfeng County?

"Are you from the Blackbird Guard?"

Lu Xuan didn't answer their question but instead counter-questioned, first confirming if they were from the Blackbird Guard.

"Yes!"

"The three of us are all subordinates of the Blackbird Guard from Baidao Prefecture City. May I ask, Senior, you are..."

Upon hearing the answer, Lu Xuan slowly spoke, stating his purpose.

"Who I am is not important."

"I came for the Human-Faced Wraith. Can you tell me more about it in detail?"

Zhao Sheng frowned; he had already guessed that the other party had been hiding nearby all along.

And had heard everything they had just said.

Matters concerning transcendent ghouls were usually secrets within the Blackbird Guard and could not be disclosed to outsiders.

Facing Lu Xuan's inquiry, Zhao Sheng hesitated repeatedly but still chose to speak with a polite and friendly attitude: "Senior, you are inquiring about the Human-Faced Wraith because..."

After all, the other party's strength was higher than theirs.

If he displeased him, Zhao Sheng was truly afraid that the other party would unleash a terrifying blaze upon the three of them.

Lu Xuan said calmly, "I naturally came to eliminate this Human-Faced Wraith. Aren't you Blackbird Guard here for the same reason?"

"What!"

"Senior, you said you came to eliminate this Human-Faced Wraith."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng and the other two, whose faces had been grim, revealed expressions of pleasant surprise.

"That's truly wonderful!"

Originally, the three of them felt that this Human-Faced Wraith was extremely troublesome.

Now, a stronger existence suddenly appeared, and he also came to deal with the Human-Faced Wraith.

This was truly a blessing from heaven for them!

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng put on a friendly smile, cupped his hands, and said to Lu Xuan, "Senior is a person of noble character, caring for the common people. This is truly a blessing for our Great Xia, and we three are filled with admiration!"

Lu Xuan ignored Zhao Sheng's flattery and watched him quietly, seemingly waiting for his next words.

"Since Senior came to eliminate the Human-Faced Wraith, then we three will naturally not hide anything."

Immediately after, Zhao Sheng completely recounted all the information he knew about the Human-Faced Wraith to Lu Xuan.

After listening, Lu Xuan indeed learned all the information about this Human-Faced Wraith.

However, he seemed to have also heard some surprising news.

"Li-level Ghoul?"

"Can you explain in detail what that means?"

This time, it was Zhao Sheng and the other two's turn to be surprised.

"Senior, you don't know the ranks of transcendent ghouls?"

Zhao Sheng had originally thought that the other party only wanted to understand the Human-Faced Wraith's information.

He didn't expect that the other party didn't even know the ranks of ghouls.

Could this Senior before them be a martial arts fanatic who secluded himself in the deep mountains for arduous cultivation?

And tonight, he just happened to come out of the mountains and coincidentally caught them talking.

Lu Xuan didn't hesitate and answered Zhao Sheng's question directly: "I don't know."

"Alright!"

"It's still early, so let me explain the classification of ghoul danger levels to Senior in detail."

An hour later!

Lu Xuan was enlightened, finally understanding some secrets about transcendent ghouls.

It turned out that transcendent ghouls were divided into so many danger levels.

Mortal, Perilous, Fierce, Li, Calamitous, Disaster.

And that so-called Human-Faced Wraith was a Li-level Ghoul.

Li-level Ghouls possessed a trace of sentience, no longer feared a martial artist's vital energy, and could use Yin energy to resist vital energy, harming martial artists of the Blood Refinement Realm.

The most terrifying thing was that the more people this Human-Faced Wraith killed, the more dead human faces it would obtain, and its strength would continuously increase.

By then, even martial artists of the Blood Refinement Realm would be unable to harm the Human-Faced Wraith.

"Senior, if we discover the Human-Faced Wraith's tracks again tomorrow night, how shall we notify you then?"

Zhao Sheng asked Lu Xuan one last question.

Because once a ghoul disappeared, no one could find its source; they could only wait for it to reappear on its own.

"Shen Mansion!"

Lu Xuan calmly glanced at Zhao Sheng, left only two words, and then transformed into an afterimage, fleeing into the distance.

After obtaining the Human-Faced Wraith's information, Lu Xuan had no further interest in staying here.

Lu Xuan also did not conceal his identity and directly told the other party.

Lu Xuan did not plan to search for the Human-Faced Wraith alone.

Because he was worried that as soon as he left Shen Mansion, the Human-Faced Wraith would appear at Shen Mansion.

This place was only a street away from Shen Mansion, and who knew if that Human-Faced Wraith would run to Shen Mansion.

Although Lu Xuan very much wanted to find and kill the Human-Faced Wraith, he dared not gamble with the safety of Shen Mansion and Lu Qingqing.

"Shen Mansion?"

"It seems I need to inquire with the Dengfeng County Magistrate about where this Shen Mansion is."

Zhao Sheng looked at Lu Xuan's departing back, his eyes still filled with disbelief.

What kind of sacred place was this Shen Mansion, that it could have such a senior expert?

Meanwhile, Lu Xuan returned to Shen Mansion.

However, he did not return to his room immediately.

Instead, he circled Shen Mansion, inspecting it, and found no presence of Yin energy.

Only then did Lu Xuan return to his room with peace of mind. The room he was staying in was one of the master rooms in Shen Mansion.

The courtyard where Lu Qingqing and Shen Yuan lived was next to Lu Xuan's.

Everything was ready; it just depended on whether this Human-Faced Wraith would appear tomorrow.

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

This Human-Faced Wraith was two levels higher than the ghoul in Liugou Village.
