Chapter 266 - 233: The Imperial Palace!
In the next moment, dazzling purple flames, accompanied by surging heat waves, roared like a furious beast of purple flame, rushing towards the bloodshot, grotesque face.
In just an instant, the face was completely consumed by the blazing purple flames, turning into nothingness, as if it had never existed.
The three night watchmen felt the scorching fire wave rushing past them, yet unexpectedly discovered.
They were not affected in the slightest, as if those terrifying purple flames had intelligence and avoided them.
"You are..."
The leader of the night watchmen, his Adam’s apple moving with difficulty, suppressed the stormy waves in his heart, and asked in a trembling, intermittent voice.
His eyes were filled with disbelief, staring fixedly at the mysterious presence before him.
What kind of power is this?
Flame?
Immortal technique?
Just now, that ghostly thing appeared without warning, its surrounding aura so dense it seemed tangible.
As soon as it appeared, it directly seeped into every pore, and the blood in the body was rapidly covered by a layer of frost, almost freezing.
In just one encounter, it completely deprived a martial artist, who had reached Blood Refining Realm Perfection, of any power to resist.
Thinking of this, the face of the leading night watchman turned as white as paper, his legs trembling slightly, his face full of the horror and fear of having survived a disaster.
Without a doubt, from this terrifying aura, this ghostly thing must be above a catastrophic level of strangeness.
Only the elemental energy of Inner Qi martial artists can deal with strangeness above catastrophic level.
Damn, knowing there are those extremely abnormal ghostly things lately, and yet I was still careless.
If it weren’t for this mysterious person taking action, I might have ended up with grave grass several feet high.
Lu Xuan simply nodded slightly in response to the leading night watchman’s inquiry.
Then, Lu Xuan immersed his attention in the system panel within his mind.
Host: Lu Xuan
Realm: Divine Mansion True Person (Minor Success)
Cultivation Technique: Heaven-Burning Saber Skill 4/9, Distance of a Thousand Miles 1/9, Undying and Indestructible 4/9
Points: 32660
An increase of 3000 system points, these were the system points Lu Xuan earned from slaying ghostly beings along the way after leaving Ming State.
Lu Xuan was very surprised by the sheer number of ghostly beings in this Central State.
At the same time, the strength of these ghostly things far exceeded those in the Southern Domain.
Of course, against these extremely terrifying ghostly things, most of the strength of the Profound Bird Guard naturally gathered in these five prefectures.
For example, the three Profound Bird Guards in front of him were all martial artists in the Blood Refining Realm.
The leading martial artist, who had reached Blood Refining Realm Perfection, was merely a team leader in this county city.
Lu Xuan could clearly sense that within this county city, there were as many as eight Inner Qi Realm martial artists.
Among them, the martial artists with Inner Qi Consummation or higher, namely the Profound Envoys of the Profound Bird Guards, numbered three in total.
This, beyond the Central State, was simply an unbelievable matter.
However, the city of Fengming County itself was unexpectedly large, far exceeding Lu Xuan’s expectations.
Its area was two to three times that of the prefectural city of White Dao Prefecture.
"Senior, I am Pan Cang of the Great Xia Xuan Bird Guard, Yellow-level Profound Bird Guard of Fengming County. We three are grateful to the senior for saving us!"
Faced with Lu Xuan’s slight nod, the hearts of Pan Cang and the other two were pounding, their eyes full of awe and trepidation.
They dared not slack off in the slightest, hurriedly raised their hands.
Their bodies leaned forward, clasped their fists, holding them high, and respectfully gave Lu Xuan a grand salute, their nervousness evident in their movements.
Lu Xuan was the savior of their three people, even kneeling and kowtowing would not be excessive.
Regarding their grand salute, Lu Xuan wasn’t particularly concerned.
Instead, he gently closed his eyes, a faint purple glow appeared around him.
At that moment, Lu Xuan unleashed all the divine power in the Divine Mansion without reservation.
This amazing divine power, like vibrant threads, or invisible tentacles.
Centered on Lu Xuan’s body, quietly extended in all directions.
Within a hundred miles radius of Fengming County’s city, every inch of air, every wisp of breeze, was sensed by Lu Xuan’s divine power.
However, under Lu Xuan’s perception, he did not find any ghostly aura.
It seems like it’s time to leave here, Lu Xuan thought to himself.
Hmm?
Someone?
Lu Xuan’s heart suddenly stirred, his divine power capturing an anomaly in the night.
Through his careful perception, he detected seven unique auras.
Rapidly approaching in the direction where Lu Xuan was located.
The martial aura from these seven people was openly displayed, seemingly reminding others intentionally.
Four martial artists of the Inner Qi Realm, and three martial artists who had reached Blood Refining Realm Perfection.
Could it be...
Lu Xuan’s expression tensed slightly, he quickly retracted his divine power, his eyes becoming sharp as an eagle’s, looking straight behind Pan Cang and the others.
This sharp gaze seemingly pierced through layers of darkness, clearly seeing everything in the blackness.
Lu Xuan’s sudden strange gaze left Pan Cang and the others bewildered.
The three exchanged glances, a doubt rising in their hearts.
Pan Cang swallowed, unable to hold back any longer, with some doubt and tension, hurriedly turned around to look behind.
The other two followed quickly, their movements swift and smooth, without any hesitation.
