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

Chapter 239 Lu Xuan’s name is announced to the world!
The moment Mu Yun saw Lu Xuan, his reaction was even faster than Li Chengxing's. His old face, which was covered with traces of time, was instantly filled with a warm and almost flattering smile.

Mu Yun ignored Li Chengxing beside him, walked quickly forward, greeted Lu Xuan, and even changed his address from Master Lu to Old Lu.

"It's Old Lu!"

Li Chengxing, who was standing by, was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He hurriedly followed Mu Yun and responded loudly to Lu Xuan.

"It's Old Lu. I finally got you here."

The Xuanniao guards stationed on both sides of the gate witnessed this scene and were so shocked that their eyes widened and their gazes were all focused on Lu Xuan.

Unaware of the situation, they thought that Mu Yun and Li Chengxing, two distinguished deputy directors, had an extraordinary and extremely deep relationship with Lu Xuan.

Even Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel extremely surprised. The enthusiasm of this Lord Mu seemed to be too enthusiastic.

Of course, what puzzled and curious these Xuanniao guards the most was the identity of this young-looking man with extraordinary bearing.
Someone from aristocratic family?

Disciple of a major sect?

Or, the royal family and nobles?

"Old Lu, now that you're here, don't be polite to us!" Li Chengxing's face was full of smiles, and his tone was very enthusiastic.

"Yes, please come in quickly, Lao Lu!"

Mu Yun also quickly agreed, the smile on his face was as bright as the warm spring sun.

Mu Yun is determined to hold on to Lu Xuan's thigh today, and no one can stop him.

Li Chengxing and Mu Yun stood in front of Lu Xuan, one on the left and one on the right, leaning forward slightly with a respectful attitude.

At the same time, they stretched out their hands and made a "please" gesture, their eyes full of earnestness, signaling Lu Xuan to go in.

This scene was so shocking, like a bolt of thunder exploding above everyone's heads.

The Xuanniao Guard, who had been standing there in a daze, now had his eyes wide open like copper bells, his mouth wide open, his jaw almost dropping to the ground in shock, and his face full of disbelief.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan didn't say much, but just nodded slightly to Mu Yun and Li Chengxing.

Just as Lu Xuan was about to lift his foot, he stopped without warning, as if he had noticed something unusual in the distance behind him.

However, this abrupt and strange action was like a heavy hammer hitting Li Chengxing and Mu Yun's hearts.

The two of them were full of suspicion and confusion on their faces, but in the end they suppressed their curiosity and did not ask any more questions.

Lu Xuan put his hands behind his back leisurely, his expression calm and composed, his posture straight as a pine tree. He did not look back, but just stood there quietly.

It’s strange, why did this old guy in the palace suddenly come out to look for him?

Could it be that the empress still has some unfinished orders?
Or perhaps this old eunuch wanted to avenge the eunuch he killed.

Just as Lu Xuan was lost in thought, time passed in a flash, and above the distant sky, a ghostly afterimage appeared before everyone's eyes.

This afterimage, like an arrow shot from a bow, instantly pierced through the thick clouds and swooped down towards the gate of the Xuanniaowei headquarters.

In just a blink of an eye, the afterimage was steadily suspended in the air and slowly landed on the open ground.

This unexpected change shocked Mu Yun and Li Chengxing so much that they trembled all over. They looked at each other, their eyes full of caution and fear.

Because the speed of the person coming was beyond their imagination.

What a terrifying speed!

Even these two, who stood at the top of the martial arts masters, did not discover his whereabouts at the first time.

Unlike Li Chengxing and Mu Yun, the Xuanniao guards on both sides of the gate seemed to be pulled by the same string when they saw this scene.

They all moved quickly as if in sync, and lined up neatly in a horizontal row.

Everyone's eyes were sharp, and they stared intently at the uninvited guest who was approaching rapidly.

At the same time, their right hands were all placed on the hilts of their swords, ready to draw their weapons at any time.

"This is!"

Mu Yun and Li Chengxing looked closely at the face of the person who came, and their hearts, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly relaxed.

The tense and fearful feeling just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Who else do they think they are?
It turned out to be the old monster in the deep palace!
Moreover, the only person who can let this old monster leave the palace is the current emperor.

The chief eunuch of the Imperial Household, Leng Yuanjun!

A powerful being who has achieved minor success in the Divine Mansion Realm and has one foot in the Great Success of the Divine Mansion Realm.

Leng Yuanjun took a step and stood firmly behind Lu Xuan, holding a black scroll carefully in his hands as if he was holding a rare treasure.

On the scroll, a black bird pattern is faintly visible, as if spreading its wings in the clouds and ready to fly. The embroidery is meticulous and flawless.

The next moment, Leng Yuanjun bowed slightly, his tone sounding very respectful.
"Master Lu, how are you?"

"I didn't expect that after our separation from the palace, we would have the honor of seeing Master Lu again!"

Leng Yuanjun is the chief eunuch of the imperial palace and a being at the Divine Mansion level. He is so proactive and warm. Naturally, Lu Xuan would not keep him at a distance.

The next second, Lu Xuan slowly lowered his hands behind his back, his movements neither hurried nor slow.

Then, Lu Xuan turned around calmly, looked straight at Leng Yuanjun, and spoke softly.

"So it was the Grand Steward who came in person. It was I, Lu, who neglected to welcome him."

"But, I wonder why the Grand Steward left the palace this time and came to see me, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Xuan glanced at Leng Yuanjun's hand from the corner of his eye, or to be more precise, at the dark black scroll in his hand.

Apart from that person's things, what else could make Leng Yunjun so cautious?

Lu Xuan understood instantly.

If I'm not mistaken, that empress really has something else she wants to tell me.

However, even though Lu Xuan guessed the answer, his expression remained calm and he did not reveal what he was thinking at all.

"Master Lu!"

Leng Yuanjun's face was covered with a flattering smile, and his voice rose sharply, "I came here with great joy to tell you!"

Leng Yuanjun said this with a flattering look, and cupped his hands, "Our family would like to congratulate Master Lu in advance!"

Leng Yuanjun had just finished speaking when his face, which was full of smiles just a moment ago, suddenly became extremely serious, as if a cold winter had suddenly arrived.

The murderous aura quickly spread out, sweeping over everything around it, as if it could condense the invisible air around it.

In an instant, Leng Yuanjun's expression changed, and he slowly raised the black scroll above his head with both hands.

Leng Yuanjun's movements were heavy and slow, as if he was bearing an endless weight.

At this moment, his face was serious and solemn, and he gently put down the black scroll in his hand again.

Then, Leng Yuanjun slowly spread out the dark scroll in front of everyone.

He tilted his head slightly, his expression extremely solemn, and enunciated each word clearly and forcefully.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

"Lu Xuan accepts the order!"

After Leng Junjun said these words, Li Chengxing reacted extremely quickly.

Without a second thought, he dropped to one knee with a thump. Li Chengxing's decisive action seemed to indicate that he had absolutely no doubt about the authenticity of Leng Yuanjun's decree.

Because Leng Yuanjun was the chief eunuch, he would never have the courage to forge an imperial edict.

Mu Yun did as Li Chengxing thought, and he knelt down on one knee without hesitation, his movements clean and neat.

With Mu Yun and Li Chengxing, the two chiefs of the Xuanniao Guard, taking the lead, the other Xuanniao Guards did not hesitate at all.

They all knelt on one knee in unison and lowered their heads.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze and was instantly shrouded in solemnity.

It was unusually quiet outside the gate of Xuanniaowei headquarters, as if time had stood still.

At this time, even if a needle fell to the ground, the tiny sound could probably be clearly heard.

Unlike the people behind him who were kneeling on one knee, Lu Xuan stood straight and firm in his place.

Lu Xuan raised his hands slightly and bowed gently towards the imperial edict in Leng Yuanjun's hands.

"Wei Chen accepts the order!"

As a warrior at the Divine Mansion Realm, there is no need to perform the ritual of kneeling on one knee in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Leng Yuanjun's eyes were as sharp as torches as he quickly scanned the surroundings and saw that everything was ready.

He then cleared his throat, stared at the imperial edict in his hand, and then slowly spoke.

"Your Majesty has issued an order to announce it to the world." Leng Yuanjun began to raise his voice continuously. His voice was sharp but clear, with unquestionable majesty.

"Appoint Lu Xuan as the deputy chief of the Xuanniao Guard, and grant him the Purple Extreme Xuanniao Clothes and the Seven-Patterned Moon-Weapon Nether Flame Sword!"

After saying this, Leng Yuanjun began to draw out the last syllable and spoke loudly.

"Appreciate this!"

Leng Yuanjun's seemingly simple few words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves in everyone's hearts.

Everyone at the scene was shocked by the shocking news, except Lu Xuan, whose expression remained calm.

Lu Xuan slowly bowed to the dark imperial edict with both hands, his voice clear and calm.

"Your humble servant obeys your command and thanks your majesty for your grace!"

Seeing this, Leng Yuanjun moved quickly and rolled up the black scroll in his hand.

His steps seemed very urgent, almost taking two steps at a time, approaching Lu Xuan quickly.

In the next moment, Leng Yuanjun's face, which was originally dry and thin, and full of wrinkles and ravines.

A strong smile immediately bloomed, and warmth and flattery seemed to be hidden in the wrinkles on her face.

Good guy!
I really underestimated this Lord Lu!
This damn Luo family almost made our family offend such a great god.

Judging from the decree given by His Majesty, even a fool can see it.

Your Majesty attaches great importance to Lu Xuan.

No one expected that Her Majesty would make an exception and even give him the Purple Extreme Black Bird Clothes.

The Purple Extreme Black Bird Clothes is a symbol of status and position!

The Seven-Patterned Moon Weapon, the Dark Flame Sword, is even slightly inferior to the Purple Extreme Mysterious Bird Robe.

Because, among the Xuanniao Guards of the Great Xia Dynasty, there is only one person who has this purple Xuanniao suit.

That person is the leader of Xuanniao Guard, Zi Yao!
And from this moment on, this long-standing practice has finally changed.

Lu Xuan is the only person in the nearly two thousand years since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty who has obtained the Purple Extreme Xuanniao uniform as the deputy chief of the Xuanniao Guard.

This is also the reason why Leng Yuanjun became so humble and fawning.

Because, from the moment Lu Xuan obtained the Purple Extreme Black Bird Clothes, he, as the chief steward of the Internal Affairs Bureau, was far inferior to Lu Xuan's noble status.

Not only is his status and position inferior to Lu Xuan, but even his martial arts skills are no match for Leng Yuanjun.

Lu Xuan stared at the imperial edict held in Leng Yuanjun's hands, then slowly stretched out his hand and took it steadily.

The moment Lu Xuan took the imperial edict steadily with both hands, the people behind him who were originally kneeling on one knee stood up at this moment.

However, after they stood up, the expressions on their faces were exaggerated and weird, and their eyes seemed to be nailed, staring at Lu Xuan's back.

It is really difficult to find the right words to describe the shock they felt at this moment.

"Master Lu, these two are bestowed upon you by His Majesty."

When Leng Yuanjun saw Lu Xuan take the imperial edict, he gently waved his right hand, and two dark wooden boxes floated out from behind him.

One is square with sharp edges and corners, while the other is rectangular with smooth lines.

The two dark wooden boxes were always controlled steadily by Leng Yuanjun's spiritual power.

She followed him like a shadow from beginning to end, floating quietly behind him all the way, never leaving his side.

"Master Lu, since we have already delivered His Majesty's order, we will not disturb you any further."

As soon as Leng Yuanjun finished speaking, he disappeared without a second thought, his figure flashing by like a ghost.

In an instant, it turned into a blurry rainbow, broke through the thick clouds, and disappeared into the distant sky in the blink of an eye.

"The Seven-Patterned Moon Weapon, the Dark Flame Blade?"

“What a great thing!”

Lu Xuan's eyes were always fixed on the rectangular wooden box and he didn't look at the other wooden box.

Unlike Leng Yuanjun's idea, Lu Xuan cared most about the Seven-Patterned Moon-level sacrificial weapon, the Youyan Mingdao.

Lu Xuan turned a deaf ear to the Purple Extreme Black Bird Clothes, a symbol of status, and had no interest in them at all.

This good knife comes at the perfect time!

Lu Xuan slowly raised his right hand, his movements very gently, and slowly stroked the rectangular box floating in front of him.

When Lu Xuan's fingertips were stroking the surface of the box, there seemed to be two flames burning in his eyes, which was an undisguised burning desire.

With this Nether Flame Sword, his strength will be greatly improved again.

Deep inside the Xuanniaowei headquarters!

In a heavily guarded courtyard, Lu Xuan sat cross-legged in the room.

Before his eyes, a box made of black crystal was suspended.

Host: Lu Xuan

"The spiritual object of the cave, the black spiritual wood?"

Lu Xuan was really curious about how many system points this thing that surpassed the best spiritual objects in heaven and earth could bring him.

I heard from that empress that this spiritual object in the cave still contains a trace of the power of law.
