I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Chapter 269 - 234: Palace Dwellers? Kill Them All Regardless! (Part 2)

After all, for the one truly in charge and making decisions, not even with a thousand shifts of courage would the Inner Chamber Guards dare to show any blame towards them.

So, surely they would pick the easier target to squeeze, and the Plum Blossom Guard is the best choice for them to vent their frustrations, without exception.

The person in front of us, Mei Qingyu, happens to be someone who has a mortal feud with Wei Wuji.

That incident a few years ago nearly cost him his life.

In the end, it was his ancestor, the Grand Steward of the Inner Chamber Supervisory, who stepped in to save his life.

"Hehehe..." Wei Wuji laughed eerily, his voice extremely sharp and eerie. His eyes were filled with mockery as he slowly glanced beyond Mei Qingyu, looking at the person behind her.

"What’s the matter, Mei Qingyu, what do you intend to do? Have you been caught by us doing something you shouldn’t be doing?"

As Wei Wuji spoke, he deliberately dragged out the tone of his voice, showing a sinister expression as if he had caught some kind of leverage.

Immediately, he raised his right hand and pointed towards Lu Xuan, asking mockingly, "Who’s that man behind you?"

As soon as Wei Wuji finished speaking, a trace of an indefinable meaning suddenly flickered in his eyes, as if hiding some calculation.

Today, he did not happen to encounter Mei Qingyu by chance, for he had already received a command from his ancestor the moment Mei Qingyu entered the capital.

His ancestor seemed to be interested in this Lu Xuan, alongside those families, instructing him to probe into this Profound Bird Guard Deputy Director Lu Xuan.

Profound Bird Guard Deputy Director?

Such a young lad, seemingly no more than twenty-something, turns out to be the Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guard.

Such a significant person that even his ancestor, upon meeting him, would have to proactively step forward to greet him.

Mind you, the position of Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guard has always been reserved for Martial Artists who have achieved Great Success in External Gang Grandmaster level.

This brat who hasn’t even grown all his hair, could he be that old monster who has reached Martial Arts Grandmaster level?

Impossible!

This is absolutely impossible!

No way, Wei Wuji simply cannot accept this shocking reality.

Wei Wuji’s mind whirled, growing more and more bewildered, a tight knot forming between his brows as if he were tied into a dead knot.

His eyes were sharply scanning Lu Xuan up and down several times, trying to find something out of the ordinary about him.

Could he have mistaken the person?

With Wei Wuji’s remarks, Mei Qingyu’s eyes instantly revealed a look of sudden realization.

She must not be someone foolish to hold the Four Grade Plum Blossom Guard position deep in the Forbidden Palace.

It turns out this damned eunuch is here to probe Mr. Lu.

"How dare you!"

"Wei Wuji, are you looking for death!"

"The Emperor has decreed the summoning of Profound Bird Guard Deputy Director Lu Xuan into the palace, and you dare to obstruct him, eunuch!"

Mei Qingyu glared, her voice sharp and loud, like thunder exploding in clear skies.

Following her shout, accompanied by a piercing sword sound, a blinding cold light flashed.

Unbeknownst to when, a sharp sword was already in Mei Qingyu’s right hand.

The blade glimmered with cold light, seemingly forged with millennium-old frost, exuding an intimidating chill.

Simultaneously, Mei Qingyu’s aura underwent a sudden change, the Inner Qi Small Achievement Realm’s aura surged out from around her like a breach of the dam.

In an instant, a strong wind arose, making everyone’s clothes flutter loudly.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, Wei Wuji remained calm, showing not a trace of concern.

Immediately, Wei Wuji’s aura condensed, also erupting with the aura of an Inner Qi Realm Martial Artist.

In that instant, an invisible force spread out centered around him, counteracting Mei Qingyu’s strong aura.

Although the aura of Wei Wuji’s Inner Qi seems slightly inferior to Mei Qingyu’s, the gap is not particularly vast.

"Mei Qingyu, don’t forget that anyone entering the depths of the palace can be questioned by us from the Inner Chamber Supervisory too."

"Don’t think you Plum Blossom Guards can overshadow everything in the palace."

"As long as we, the Inner Chamber Guards, are here, it’s not the place for you Plum Blossom Guards!"

"You!"

Mei Qingyu could hardly believe what she heard, staring at Wei Wuji as if he were a fool.

She thought that after revealing Lu Xuan’s identity, Wei Wuji would be deterred and obediently make way.

But no matter what, she never expected this idiot to be so reckless.

He was just a minor Grade Three eunuch commander, usually flaunting his power in the palace under the guise of that old monster.

But Lu Xuan, as the Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guard, held such a high position, yet Wei Wuji dared to interrogate.

"Mei Qingyu, you’d better produce the emperor’s decree, or obediently step aside for me."

"I really don’t believe this kid, who hasn’t even grown hair yet, could be the Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guard."

"Heh heh heh...."

"Is it possible that this kid is just your young plaything for amusement, Mei Qingyu?"

"Tsk tsk, Mei Qingyu, you’re quite bold, daring to secretly bring a wild man into the palace."

"Once I report this to the forefathers, you and this wild man will await the emperor’s punishment."

"According to the laws of the Great Xia dynasty, this brat’s family will be wiped out!"

Wei Wuji saw Mei Qingyu’s face full of grievance, akin to someone swallowing bitter bile, and his heart surged with joy like a tidal wave.

In an instant, he even vented his anger on Lu Xuan, forgetting the forefather’s repeated cautions to handle matters prudently.

As soon as Wei Wuji’s venomous words were uttered, it was like a giant stone thrown into a calm lake.

The faces of everyone present changed drastically, even the four men from the eunuch command behind him displayed shock.

For a moment, the scene was eerily quiet, silent as if the air was frozen.

Only Wei Wuji was laughing wildly, his laughter especially jarring in the silence.

He still didn’t sense the unusual atmosphere around him, immersed in his own emotions.

Damn!

This worthless scum!

A fool who spoils more than he accomplishes!

In a hidden corner in the depths of the palace corridor, an old man was concealed.

His figure almost blended into the darkness, unnoticed unless someone deliberately searched nearby.

But in the next moment, the old man seemed to sense something, his previously squinted eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, looking towards Lu Xuan not far away.

He saw the space around Lu Xuan, like a calm lake hit by a huge stone, begin to ripple with bizarre waves, spreading outward one after another.

Damn this thing!

Lu Xuan’s eyes emanated profound purple light, like two blazing purple stars, yet cold without a trace of human warmth.

He gazed at everyone standing ahead, his look seeming to come from the Netherworld Purgatory, carrying an icy chill capable of obliterating everything.

Everyone present felt an invisible pressure from heaven and earth, collapsing upon them, making their legs weak and breath extremely difficult.

At this moment, even the dullest person could clearly sense Lu Xuan’s terrifying aura.

The anger exuded from Lu Xuan was almost tangible, so oppressive it was terrifying.

"Director Lu......"

Mei Qingyu, at some unknown time, had quietly turned around, her face pale as paper, devoid of any color, her lips trembling slightly, filled with panic and urgency.

That Wei Wuji was one of the eunuch commanders; if Lu Xuan acted rashly against him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, before Mei Qingyu could fully speak, something terrifying seemed to happen to Wei Wuji opposite.

In an instant, his eyes were filled with terror and despair, followed by an extremely shrill scream.

Wei Wuji’s once eerily feminine face began to rapidly split apart, with blood gushing out.

In merely a breath’s time, his body could no longer withstand this destructive force.

Before everyone’s eyes, it exploded into a thick, dazzling mist of blood.

The bloody mist spread wantonly in the air, a pungent smell quickly filled the surroundings, making everyone nauseous.

The old man who had been hiding in the shadows of the corner suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Stop!"

The old man’s face was full of shock; he could hardly believe Lu Xuan would be this decisive and ruthless.
