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

Chapter 238 Half of the original power of Lingxu Land.

Zi Yao stared quietly outside the hall, as if watching Lu Xuan leave.

After a while, she slowly bent down, with an elegant and charming posture, a soft voice, and spoke slowly and unhurriedly.

"Your Majesty, this Lu Xuan's martial arts talent is almost demonic, and he can be called a genius of all ages."

"But surprisingly, he didn't act with the arrogance and complacency of ordinary people, and was extremely cautious."

"In my humble opinion, this Lu Xuan has the temperament of a peerless hero!"

"So, Lu Xuan is like a double-edged sword. If Your Majesty can control him well, he will definitely bring you unexpected surprises."

"On the contrary, ..."

Zi Yao didn't finish her words, but Empress Xia Mingyue naturally understood what she meant.

Hearing these words, Empress Xia Mingyue smiled leisurely.

That smile was filled with a calm demeanor that showed that no one else could be more capable than him.

“I didn’t expect that even you, Ziyao, think so highly of this Lu Xuan?”

Empress Xia Mingyue opened her red lips slightly, and her voice sounded like pearls falling on a plate, crisp and pleasant yet with a hint of playfulness.

"interesting!"

The empress murmured softly, and a hint of elusive meaning flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She tilted her head slightly, as if asking herself, or as if asking Zi Yao beside her.

"Surprise?"

"I really want to see how big of a surprise this Lu Xuan can bring."

Having said that, there was a hint of indifference in the tone of Empress Xia Mingyue.

After all, with Lu Xuan's current strength of the Divine Mansion realm, in the eyes of the Empress Xia Mingyue.

His strength is just the icing on the cake and is far from enough to affect what he wants to do.

After Empress Xia Mingyue finished speaking, her beautiful and moving figure once again turned into dots of deep black light.

In the blink of an eye, Empress Xia Mingyue was already leaning lazily on the throne, exuding innate dignity and majesty.

"Zi Yao, how are you checking the seal at the North Territory's polar region?"

When Zi Yao heard this, a solemn look suddenly appeared on her originally cold and indifferent fair face.

She lowered her eyes, her voice as calm as an ancient well, without any emotion, and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, the seal at the North Pole is just as you expected."

"There is indeed an inexplicable force in the outer realm that is attacking the restrictions set by the Holy Ancestor."

"Moreover, that force seems to have known the weakness of the restriction set by the Holy Ancestor."

"I have already poured the power of the Cave Heaven Holy Crystal into the restriction set by the Holy Ancestor."

"With the power of that Cave Heaven Holy Crystal, I estimate that it can hold out for about a year."

"After this period of time, the seal set by the Holy Ancestor will probably be completely destroyed."

"The world of the Great Xia Dynasty will eventually be exposed to the eyes of practitioners from outside the realm."

Zi Yao's words, as if real, continued to circle and echo in the empty and silent hall.

Until the Empress Xia Mingyue, who was lying lazily on the throne, opened her red lips and completely covered up these words.

"Hmph, is this the weakness of the Holy Ancestor's seal?"

"Apart from my good brothers, who else could know these secrets?"

"I will not let the Jiyan Holy Sect, Jianling Sect, Xuanyin Immortal Palace, and those families go."

Empress Xia Mingyue leaned against the throne. Although her posture was lazy, she exuded an innate nobility.

In the next moment, her beautiful eyes like autumn water suddenly reflected a deep and distant black light.

It was like a black hole that swallowed up the world and everything in sight.

"Back then, I was only one step away from obtaining the origin of the Spirit Ruins."

"I didn't expect these bastards to be able to detect my intentions!"

Empress Xia Mingyue's voice was low and cold, and her words were filled with uncontrollable anger and unwillingness.

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, as if she wanted to completely crush that humiliating past.

As soon as the words fell, a mysterious black bird pattern appeared on the center of Empress Xia Mingyue's forehead.

It was as if it was injected with a fresh soul, and suddenly began to jump and tremble.

In an instant, a deep and rich black light burst out, extremely dazzling, as if it would drag everything around it into the endless dark abyss.

As the black light of the Xuanniao pattern shone brightly, the void in front of Empress Xia Mingyue's eyes gradually began to appear layers of strange ripples.

Under the gaze of Zi Yao below, a huge black cauldron as big as an adult slowly emerged from the void.

The dark black cauldron was suspended in the air, tightly wrapped by an inky-thick airflow that was swirling and swirling.

On the body of the tripod, complex and intricate patterns meander, as if they are one with the heaven and earth, or as if they are an order that was engraved on it when the heaven and earth were first created.

Between those mysterious patterns, there are obscure symbols and words, which appear and disappear. They are twisted and interconnected, making people feel dizzy.

"Humph!"

"How could those bastards have imagined that I had also been cautious back then?"

"Little did I know that half of the original power of the Lingxu Land had already been absorbed by me into the Xuanniao Cauldron."

Empress Xia Mingyue propped herself up lazily, her every move revealing her elegance and dignity.

She slowly stretched out her right hand, and her white fingertips gently stroked the void. The Xuanniao Ding seemed to be summoned by some mysterious power.

In the next second, the body of the cauldron burst into a dazzling black light.

Immediately afterwards, a mass of extremely pure white fluid, like a flowing stream, gurgled out from the mouth of the cauldron.

The white stream flows lightly, without a trace of impurities, so pure that it makes people's hearts tremble.

Immediately afterwards, the white stream drew a graceful arc in the air and slowly flowed towards the palm of Empress Xia Mingyue.

Then, the white stream swirled leisurely above her palm.

This seemingly random rotation actually exudes an astonishingly vigorous aura.

Zi Yao, who was standing below, always had an indifferent expression, like an ancient well in a deep pool, without a single ripple.

But when the white stream came into her sight.

Her unchanging face suddenly lost its composure, and her originally calm eyes widened instantly.

It was full of panic and shock, as if one had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

Your Majesty, how did she do it?
Back then, I was there and witnessed everything.

Wasn't the original power of the Lingxu land finally taken back by the remnant soul of the Earth Lord?
How come half of the original power has now fallen into Your Majesty's hands?

Your Majesty even hid it from me!
Compared to Zi Yao's shock, Empress Xia Mingyue slightly raised her snow-white chin, her eyes calm and determined.

She stared quietly at the white stream in her palm, as if the world was completely under her control. If it weren't for the Xuanniao Cauldron that helped her block the attack from the remnant soul of the Earth Lord, she would have died long ago.

Even so, Empress Xia Mingyue still suffered severe backlash, so that she was unable to free her hands to refine this half of the origin of the Lingxu land.

But now, the injuries in Empress Xia Mingyue's body have completely recovered, and she can free up her hands to refine the essence of this half of the Lingxu land.

Of course, she took out the origin of the Lingxu land at this moment specifically for Zi Yao to see.

To be precise, it was for the sect behind Zi Yao to see.

Because the true identity of Zi Yao in front of him was not from the Great Xia Dynasty, but a cultivator from outside the realm.

"Zi Yao, go back and tell your master that I will definitely do what I promised her."

"You, the people of the Snow Moon Sect, only need to help me eliminate the evildoers of the Pure Extreme Holy Sect after the Great Xia Dynasty appears in the outer domain."

Before Zi Yao recovered from her shock, she saw a flash of black light above the throne. Empress Xia Mingyue had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the empty throne.

"Your Majesty, her strength is becoming more and more unpredictable." Zi Yao murmured, the fear in her beautiful eyes as dark as ink!

After all, he was a warrior at the Half-Step Dongxu realm, infinitely close to the Dongxu True Lord realm.

Unexpectedly, with her strength, she didn't even know when His Majesty left.

Your Majesty, perhaps she has already entered that realm.

Zi Yao raised her head slightly and stared at the empty imperial throne for a long time.

Immediately, she pursed her cherry lips, lifted her feet slightly, and her graceful figure instantly turned into a bright purple light and shadow, and disappeared into the void in the blink of an eye.

Only wisps of spiritual energy remained, slowly dissipating in the air in the hall.

Tiandu Xuanniaowei Headquarters!

At this moment, outside the gate of Xuanniaowei headquarters, a jaw-dropping and bizarre scene unfolded.

Two old men in red Xuanniao robes were seen standing upright on both sides of the headquarters gate, one on the left and one on the right.

Moreover, the old man standing on the right, dressed in a red Xuanniao costume, looked particularly anxious.

I saw him stretching his neck from time to time, looking curiously towards the distant horizon, and his feet moving slightly unconsciously, as if he was anxiously waiting for something.

The old man looked like he would not be able to hold back and rush out in the next second.

Therefore, the strange behavior of the two of them made the Xuanniao guards who were originally stationed on both sides of the gate look at each other in confusion, their hearts full of doubts.

The key point, which shocked everyone, was that these two old men were not ordinary people.

The identities of these two old men are actually the deputy chiefs of Xuanniao Guard, the second deputy chief Mu Yun and the third deputy chief Li Chengxing.

Therefore, during this period of time, everyone who entered and exited the Xuanniaowei headquarters was very surprised.

What a hell!
Who on earth is such a big shot that he could make the two deputy chiefs of Xuanniao Guard stand at the door and wait in person?

Mu Yun, who was standing on the left, saw that Li Chengxing was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth, and he couldn't help but look helpless.

"I say, Lao Li, is the information you got reliable?"

"Don't try to fool me. I've been standing here for an hour, looking at everyone coming in and out like a monkey."

"Is that Lord Lu in Tiandu now?"

Li Chengxing heard the doubt in Mu Yun's words, and his old face suddenly turned red. Then he glared with his old eyes, raised his beard, and said in a decisive tone.

"Don't worry, Old Mu. Old Lu is in the palace right now, meeting His Majesty."

"Based on the time when Old Lu entered the palace, he should be arriving here soon."

"Of course, if you don't want to wait, Old Mu, then please go back first."

"I guess Old Lu wouldn't mind such a small matter."

As soon as Li Chengxing said this, Mu Yun lost his temper instantly, fell silent again, and stood there quietly with his eyes closed to rest.

go?
That is impossible.

It's impossible to leave.

Although Lu Xuan was young, his martial arts level surpassed that of himself and the old man Li Chengxing, and he had reached the realm of the Divine Mansion.

Faced with such a situation, Mu Yun of course chose to shamelessly cling to the powerful.

If he were an ordinary warrior at the Divine Mansion realm, Mu Yun would not be so enthusiastic.

After all, he himself is at the Half-Step Divine Mansion realm, only one step away from the Divine Mansion realm.

However, Lu Xuan, a warrior at the Divine Mansion realm, is very different.

Mu Yun dared to speak out his thoughts in front of everyone.

If nothing unexpected happens to Lu Xuan in the future, he will definitely be able to cultivate to a very high level of martial arts.

It is possible that he can even cultivate to the same level as Lord Sizhu.

In Mu Yun's heart, Zi Yao, the leader of the Xuanniao Guard, is an invincible existence.

The fact that he could compare Lu Xuan with Zi Yao, the leader of the Xuanniao Guard, was enough to show how much Mu Yun valued Lu Xuan.

Li Chengxing seemed to see through Mu Yun's thoughts, and suddenly his old face raised and he laughed heartily.

"Hey hey hey!"

"Old Mu, I never thought that you, an old fellow who usually keeps silent, would have such thoughts one day."

Li Chengxing's joke annoyed Mu Yun, and he couldn't help but glare at him with contempt.

This bastard old guy actually has the nerve to talk about himself?

"Hmph, each other!"

Mu Yun's face tightened, and he retorted unhappily, "Old Li, you come from a wealthy family, and yet you behave like this? How can you still be qualified to criticize me?"

After being speechless by Mu Yun, Li Chengxing could only smile awkwardly.

Finally, Li Chengxing tried to cover up the topic subtly with this slightly awkward smile.

"Old Li?"

"Master Mu?"

"You two rushed back from Mingzhou so quickly?"

The sound arrived before the person saw it!

After hearing these words, Li Chengxing and Mu Yun almost simultaneously turned their gazes towards a certain void in front of them.

Slight ripples slowly appeared in the void, and then a faint purple glow disappeared in an instant.

Then a young and handsome man slowly walked out from the ripples, each step carrying a sense of naturalness.

"Lao Lu!"

"Master Lu!"

Lu Xuan remained calm in response to the excitement on Li Chengxing and Mu Yun's faces, and just nodded slightly.
