Chapter 670 Testing
"Eunuch Wang, the Thousand Vine Demon Princess is beginning to flee."

Although Li Xuan knew that Wang Xi was likely able to detect the situation underground, he still dutifully reminded him.

"Okay, Xuan."

"Look at me."

Wang Xi heard the voice in his ear and replied with a smile.

Wang Xi stepped on the flying stones steadily and came to the top of Lu Ji.

Li Xuan didn't really appreciate Wang Xi's way of flying in the air.

Both stewards can fly in the air by relying on their own Tao and true Qi. They fly very gracefully, like masters.

But the old man Wang Xi insisted on stepping on a big rock.

Li Xuan looked at this stone and thought it was just found at random. There was not even a trace of spiritual energy on it. It was purely used for standing on tiptoe.

"Could it be that he knows that he is short and is ready to take advantage of the terrain at any time?"

Li Xuan was speechless about this behavior of carrying "geographical advantage" with him.

But who can blame them for being so strong?
When a master does something, there must be a hidden purpose behind it.

Although Lu Ji was moving quickly underground, she was not as fast as Wang Xi who was flying on stones.

Wang Xi suddenly came to the top of Lu Ji's head, then turned his hand over and pressed down.

A shadow suddenly appeared on the ground, and then it collapsed, forming a basin.

All the stones and trees on the ground were squeezed out of shape and huddled together.

Li Xuan followed from a distance and carefully analyzed Wang Xi's methods.

"His Taoism should be related to gravity. The shadow before the action was not caused by the change of light, but the drastic change of gravity."

"The combination of Yang and Earth attributes actually creates the ability to control gravity."

"Besides, Wang Xi can actually understand the concept of gravity."

A warrior's way must be understood by one's own in order to be comprehended. Otherwise, even if others show you a powerful way, it will be useless if you don't understand it.

It was as if an invisible giant was walking on the ground, leaving behind huge and deep footprints.

Green Princess underground kept changing directions to escape, but her speed was getting slower and slower.

When the green princess moves underground, it does not burrow into the ground, but rather swims in the soil like the new roots of a seed, somewhat similar to a person swimming in water.

The rattan armor and long whip on her body led her on the underground road, and her speed was no slower than that of a horse running on the official road.

But even so, she was gradually forced into a dead end by Wang Xi's pursuit and blockade.

In the collapsed basin area, the soil became as hard as granite, making it impossible for Lu Ji to move through it.

As long as she steps into this kind of area, she will have to expend a lot of effort to escape.

Li Xuan and Wang Xi both locked onto the aura of Green Princess underground, feeling that they were being forced into a dead end.

If this continues, Lu Ji will be forced into a desperate situation sooner or later.

Because when they looked down from above, they could clearly see the dead end that Wang Xi had created.

Boom, boom, boom...

The area around the cliff was shaking as if an earthquake had occurred.

boom!
Until the last palm strike, Lu Ji had no way to escape.

"Caught!"

Everyone, including Li Xuan, felt excited.

Wang Xi immediately reached down and caught Lu Ji with the soil.

Wang Xi crossed the fingers of his hands and then suddenly pressed his palms together.

"boom--"

The clod of earth made a dull sound and disappeared instantly.

But both Li Xuan and Wang Xi's expressions were still solemn.

The soil turned into tiny dust invisible to the naked eye and scattered in the air, but there was no sign of Lu Ji. Instead, only a broken vine armor turned into powder.

"Where are the people!?"

They would never believe that Lu Ji, a second-rank master, could be defeated so easily, without even a trace left.

Li Xuanben was still doubting his own judgment, but when he saw Wang Xi was also surprised, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Impossible, I have never lost sight of Midoriki's aura."

Li Xuan immediately began to sense and search the surroundings, but he could no longer find Lu Ji's scent.

It was as if she was the one who disappeared along with the soil, and the vine armor that turned into powder was the last scene of her left in the world.

But it’s still not right!
Even though Wang Xi's strength was beyond Li Xuan's expectations and he suppressed Lu Ji throughout the game, it was not so easy for a second-grade master to die.

The previous defeat of the Western Region Fire Demon was due to many factors, but more importantly, Li Xuan cooperated with Master Chenghai to interrupt his desperate efforts.

But after Lu Ji fell into a disadvantage, she just kept fleeing underground until she was forced into a dead end, and she still did not use any special means.

"Could it be that they have been fleeing underground to hide their sight?"

"She has a split aura and is hiding her means!?"

Li Xuan immediately thought of a possibility.

His original mission was to continue locking onto the opponent after Lu Ji desperately fled.

It is best to keep close to the enemy, wait for follow-up support, and then kill them all.

No matter how bad the situation is, we must find the enemy's stronghold and obtain more intelligence.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ji was so cunning that she escaped right under their noses.

Lu Ji is much smarter than the Western Fire Demon. She was sneaky when she ran away and didn't shout out her skills.

Seeing that his mission had failed, Li Xuan no longer hid and immediately appeared beside Wang Xi and the two stewards.

"Eunuch Wang, Lu Ji is not dead, right?"

Li Xuan asked through voice transmission.

Wang Xi nodded: "He must have run away, but he ran away in a very secretive way."

Li Xuan looked a little ugly, he had messed up his job.

"Ah Xuan, you don't have to worry too much. A second-rank warrior is already difficult to kill, let alone someone at the level of Qian Teng Mo Ji."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to locate her."

"Her Tao is not about a wide range, but about the wood-type changes that are close to nature. Compared to her ability in a head-on fight, her fighting style that makes it impossible for the opponent to find her is the most difficult."

While Wang Xi was comforting Li Xuan, he extended his arm.

A piece of soil on the ground floated up and came in front of him.

Wang Xi pinched a handful of it and rubbed it carefully. There was lavender powder mixed in the soil, which was quickly turning yellow and blending into the soil.

"This is the Dao armor she is wearing. It seems she paid a high price for it."

Wang Xi made a judgment.

But at this moment, Li Xuan suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of Jiaozhou City.

He sensed that several terrifying auras suddenly appeared in the direction of Jiaozhou City.

Li Xuan's pupils shrank and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Something happened in Jiaozhou City!"

Li Xuan only had time to leave these words in a hurry, and then his figure disappeared in an instant, running madly towards the direction of Jiaozhou City.

"Ankang, Yu'er..."

"Nothing must happen to you!"

Li Xuan was extremely anxious and pushed his speed to the limit.

Wang Xi looked at Li Xuan's figure that disappeared in the blink of an eye, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Eunuch Wang, something has happened in Jiaozhou. Let's go back quickly."

The two stewards also started to worry.

Emperor Yongyuan no longer has Wang Xi by his side, so he must not allow the enemy to take advantage of the situation.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty has made arrangements." Wang Xi said calmly.

"Let's catch up with Xuan and explain everything to him. Don't let him get too anxious."

As if to confirm Wang Xi's words, Li Xuan discovered that several powerful auras that suddenly appeared in Jiaozhou City were only fleeting and soon disappeared.

But he did not dare to be careless and continued to rush to Jiaozhou City as fast as possible.

Li Xuan covered a distance of dozens of miles in a blink of an eye, but when he returned to Jiaozhou City, he found that everything was calm and the people seemed unaware of what had happened.

Li Xuan gasped and found that those auras had all disappeared again.

But he knew that his perception just now was definitely not an illusion, so he immediately returned to the government office and found Princess Ankang and others.

Yu'er and Sharon were on full alert, protecting Princess Ankang on the left and right.

Everyone in the government office walked into the courtyard, and several other princes and princesses were also present.

"What happened just now?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Is there an assassin?"

"Who is so bold as to assassinate His Majesty!?"

"..."

The government office was in a mess, and everyone was in a panic.

The people who had just stayed in the government office suddenly felt the sky darken, and then they seemed to hear a few muffled thunders in their ears.

But then this feeling quickly disappeared, as if it was just an illusion.

When everyone came to their senses, they found that the eunuchs in flowery clothes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already drawn their swords and were on guard. All the masters in the team became nervous.

Only then did they realize something had happened, and now people are even more uneasy.

At this time, a eunuch walked out of Emperor Yongyuan's room and announced to everyone:

"Your Majesty has ordered that everyone should stay at their posts and there is no need to panic."

"Also, send someone to invite Prefect Jiang immediately. His Majesty has summoned him."

The two simple orders let everyone know that Emperor Yongyuan was not in danger. They all breathed a sigh of relief and slowly dispersed from the yard, each going about their own business.

Only a few princes and princesses remained here.

"Ankang, why can't I see your cat?"

"He wasn't the one who did that just now, was he?"

The Eighth Prince asked hurriedly.

"Ah Xuan is not that naughty." Princess Ankang said dissatisfiedly.

The eighth prince immediately laughed awkwardly.

It is understandable that he would think so.

Just now, except for Princess Yan Zhao, everyone else followed the Eighth Prince and looked at Princess Ankang. Obviously, everyone felt that this was not completely impossible.

Princess Yan Zhao looked at everyone with a complicated expression, then said:
"Just now, there was indeed an expert showing his presence above the government office, but we also had experts on our side respond quickly and pushed the opponent back."

Princess Yan Zhao's words left everyone silent.

They all knew very well how skilled the master Princess Yan Zhao was talking about was.

And those who dared to come to the government office to demonstrate were probably coming for their father, the Emperor.

In other words, they had just been on the verge of life and death.

Seeing the other people's strange expressions, Princess Yan Zhao continued:

"But you don't have to worry too much. Although the opponent is powerful, his strength alone cannot threaten Father."

Princess Yan Zhao looked up at the sky and spoke in a calm tone.

"Well, that would be best."

The eldest prince's tone was a little unnatural, and the fourth prince's face didn't look any better either.

Their previous guess in Jinghou County was confirmed that King Zheng didn't care about their life or death at all.

Even though they are both princes and have the blood of the Zhang family, they are just one of the prices that can be sacrificed.

This made the brothers more determined to change their mind.

They looked at Princess Ankang, wondering what she was thinking at the moment.

At this moment, Li Xuan's figure bumped into Princess Ankang's arms.

Princess Ankang exclaimed, and then said happily:

"Axuan, you are back."

Princess Ankang felt that Li Xuan was a little warmer than usual, and she felt a sense of security from the bottom of her heart.

She was a little panicked just now, but now holding such a big warm ball in her arms, she felt much more at ease.

Princess Ankang rubbed her cheek against Li Xuan's body and asked curiously, "Why do you feel so warm today?"

Li Xuan pretended nothing happened and tried his best to calm his breathing.

He had just run dozens of miles in one breath, and it was very reserved of him not to stick out his tongue to cool down.

"Ah Xuan, Second Sister said that a master attacked just now, but was scared back immediately."

Princess Ankang spoke softly to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan also heard it just now.

The reason why he was in such a hurry to come back was not only because he was worried about the safety of everyone in Jingyang Palace, but also because he sensed the presence of the bald man in the teahouse from the few auras he had just sensed.

"Damn you, King Zheng, he even had a backup plan."

While Li Xuan was cursing, he felt a sense of fear.

If Emperor Yongyuan had not had sufficient guards around him, a beheading operation would probably have taken place just now.

King Zheng's subordinates are not kind people. They are willing to do such things as razing the entire county government office.

"Both sides have made preparations..."

Li Xuan frowned and analyzed the current situation.

While Emperor Yongyuan was taking advantage of the situation, he was also secretly guarding against a possible sneak attack by Prince Zheng.

While Prince Zheng wanted to erode Emperor Yongyuan's power, he immediately launched a test after causing Emperor Yongyuan to divide his troops.

If Emperor Yongyuan does not have enough power to respond, Prince Zheng will definitely order his men to turn the test into a formal decapitation operation.

Fortunately, Emperor Yongyuan had the upper hand this time.

On the other side of the cliff, he used the enemy's trick against her and severely injured Lu Ji, forcing the enemy to pay a price to escape.

As for the government office in Jiaozhou City, King Zheng just made a test and returned empty-handed.

But Li Xuan still looked worried.

Because he found that with the previous burst of aura, he could no longer sense the bald man's presence.

Clearly, before this, he could sense the locations of Thousand Vine Demon Princess and the bald man in Jiaozhou City, but now they were completely nowhere to be found.

Not only the bald man, the auras of those strong men just now have all disappeared and can no longer be sensed by Li Xuan.

"This is how the same thing?"

Li Xuan has never been able to sense the masters on Emperor Yongyuan's side, so he has gotten used to it.

But the bald man suddenly hid his aura, which made Li Xuan feel a little uneasy.

"Are you starting to keep a low profile because of what happened just now?"

"Or has he met up with a companion who can help him hide his presence?"

When Li Xuan was thinking hard, a eunuch came to see Princess Ankang.

"Your Highness Ankang, His Majesty invites you."

Princess Ankang was summoned and immediately went with the eunuch to meet Emperor Yongyuan.

Emperor Yongyuan sat quietly in the room, looking at Li Xuan who was carried in by Princess Ankang, and asked directly:

"Ah Xuan, what's the situation over there on the cliff?"
