Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years.

Chapter 172 If Lu Xuan doesn’t come to see me, he will die!
Boom, boom, boom!
At this moment, there were sudden knocks on the door from outside.

Xia Mingqing's brows tightened slightly, then he raised his left hand and gently waved it towards the door.

The door opened in response, as if an invisible giant hand in the void opened the door.

Immediately afterwards, a light-footed figure quickly came to Xia Mingqing's side, then lowered his head and approached Xia Mingqing's ear.

"My Lord, it's important!"

"Something happened to the Luo family. Lord Luo Jin is dead!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingqing's calm face turned ashen and black as the bottom of a burnt pot.

"What did you say!"

"My mentor is dead!"

"How can this be!"

Xia Mingqing suddenly looked up at the person who reported the news, then stood up.

"My mentor possesses a protective barrier left by the Supervisory Department."

"Except for a martial artist who has reached the great perfection of the Outer Gang Grandmaster level, it is impossible for anyone to harm him."

Xia Mingqing suppressed the anger in his heart and stared at the person who came to report the news.

If the person who reported the news was not his most trusted maid Chen Luomeng, he would have thought that someone was so bold as to make fun of him.

Lu Haodong, who was standing by, was very surprised when he saw Xia Mingqing's reaction.

But when he heard that it was Luo Jin who died, he was no longer surprised and stood up as well.

"Luo Jin is dead?"

"this…………."

Luo Jin, the Inspector of Anzhou, was unexpectedly murdered. This matter is likely to become a big deal!
Which reckless old monster did this?

Xia Mingqing has now accepted the fact that Luo Jin is dead, but he still looks confused and can't believe it.

"Besides me and that old immortal Tao Zhenbang, who else in Anzhou can hurt my mentor?"

"unless……….."

Xia Mingqing murmured softly.

Suddenly, he thought of another possibility.

"Unless someone uses the power of the sacrificial vessel!"

"Right, the power of the sacrificial vessel must have been used."

"Otherwise, a warrior below the level of a Grandmaster of the Outer Gang would definitely not be able to harm his mentor."

The restrictions left by the sacrificial vessel can be broken by using another sacrificial vessel.

As long as a warrior who has just entered the realm of the Outer Gang Grandmaster uses the power of the sacrificial vessel, he can exert power close to that of a fully accomplished Outer Gang Grandmaster.

Why is Xia Mingqing so sure of this speculation?

Because, in the entire Anzhou, there are only two people who are Grandmasters of the Outer Gang and above.

One is himself, a perfect Wai Gang Grandmaster, who is only one step away from the Divine Mansion realm.

The other one is Tao Zhenbang, a martial artist who has reached the level of a great master of outer power.

He is the governor of Anzhou, the deputy director of the Heavenly Army Division, and a high-ranking official in charge of a state!

The Tianbingsi is the organization that controls all the troops of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The governor of each state would also serve as the deputy chief of the Heavenly Army Department so that he could mobilize troops within his state.

It just so happens that Tao Zhenbang, the governor of Anzhou, is one of the top five governors in terms of strength among the thirty-six governors.

The governors under Tao Zhenbang are generally warriors who have achieved minor success in the Outer Gang Grandmaster level or have just reached the level of Outer Gang Grandmaster level.

"Luo Meng, immediately tell Lin Yu to lead all the Qingyi Guards. I want to know who did it within three days!"

"At any cost!"

"That martial arts master used the power of the sacrificial vessel, which will inevitably consume a large amount of energy. He will definitely not be able to escape far!"

"By the way, let Lin Yu bring the Wind and Fire Blade!"

When Chen Luomeng heard the decision of her prince, her eyes were filled with shock.

Lin Yu is the deputy leader of the Qingyi Guard. His strength is ranked among the top three in Prince An's Mansion.

He is a martial artist who has achieved minor success as a Grandmaster of the Outer Gang Sect.

Of course, what shocked Chen Luomeng the most was that the Wind and Fire Blade was a legendary sacrificial vessel, a Chen-level two-pattern sacrificial vessel.

However, Chen Luomeng did not go out immediately, but spoke very calmly.

"Your Majesty, Luo Meng has another discovery."

"Luo Meng suspects that Lord Luo's death is very likely related to this discovery."

When Chen Luomeng said this, Xia Mingqing and Lu Haodong looked at him sideways.

"Say!"

After getting Xia Mingqing's confirmation, Chen Luomeng slowly stated her inference.

"Your Highness, do you remember that this morning, a mysterious man riding a divine horse came outside the city?"

"Luo Meng just received news from the Qingyi Guards that the people who were tracking him fainted on the street."

"When they woke up, they found that the man had already left the city!"

"Based on what these people said, Luo Meng suspected that the mysterious man used the outer Gang Grandmaster's Gang Yuan power to knock them unconscious."

Before Xia Mingqing could speak first, Lu Haodong spoke in confusion.

"Kamikaze-sword?"

"I remember that the Divine Wind Horse among the Xuanniao Guards in the capital city has not been used in the past few days."

Lu Haodong's words made Xia Mingqing fall into deep thought.

If no one in the capital city uses the Divine Wind Steed, then it can only be the Divine Wind Steed from the Xuanniao Guards of other capital cities.

This conclusion suddenly reminded Xia Mingqing of that person.

He was the person his mentor Luo Jin mentioned yesterday, the new Xuanshi of Baidao Mansion, Lu Xuan!
Everyone in Anzhou knows that the person who has a life-and-death feud with his mentor is Lu Xuan.

"It's this Lu Xuan!"

"A few days ago, this king asked you to look up information about Lu Xuan. Did you find it?"

Xia Mingqing set his eyes on Lu Haodong. A big part of the reason why he called him here today was because of Lu Xuan.

"In reply to the prince, according to the report from the Xuanniao Guards I placed in Baidao Mansion."

"That Lu Xuan appeared in the Xuanniao Guards a month ago. Aside from that old fellow Li Chengfeng, no one knows his origins."

"However, I happen to have a painting on me, a portrait of Lu Xuan."

After Lu Haodong finished speaking, he took out a piece of white paper rolled into a cylinder from his gray sleeves.

"Oh!"

Seeing this, Xia Mingqing's eyes focused, and several black energy appeared around his body and flew towards the white paper.

Under the influence of those罡元, the white paper was gently spread out in the void, floating up and down.

On the white paper, there was a picture of a young and handsome man with long hair like dark clouds, neatly tied behind his back.

Even Xia Mingqing was a little surprised when he saw the man drawn on the white paper.

very young!
This Lu Xuan looks to be only about twenty years old.

"Luo Meng, let those people see if the person entering the city today is him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Just when Chen Luomeng was about to walk out, Xia Mingqing suddenly spoke again.

"If it's this Lu Xuan, you and Lin Yu should go to Baidao Mansion in person and tell them that I want to see him!"

"Of course, if he doesn't come... I don't want to hear the news that he's still alive in Anzhou."

At the end, Xia Mingqing said something meaningful that shocked Chen Luomeng's heart.

"Luo Meng, you must satisfy all of Lu Xuan's needs..."

How could Chen Luomeng not understand the implication of this?

To satisfy all of Lu Xuan's needs, that naturally includes her.

Lu Xuan was originally on Xia Mingqing's kill list.

However, after Xia Mingqing saw that Lu Xuan was so young, he gave up his murderous intent.

If the Lu Xuan in the painting was not in disguise.

Then he is very likely the one with the most extraordinary talent in martial arts among all the people he has ever met.
