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

Chapter 258 An unexpected surprise, the remaining sacrificial vessels of the Wen family!

In the distance, Mu Yun was bringing several Earth-level Xuanniao Guards and quickly approaching Lu Xuan.

However, when Mu Yun saw Man Qingqiu's figure, his eyes immediately drooped, with a hint of surprise in his expression.

Mu Yun was really surprised by Man Qingqiu's arrival.

Mu Yun knew her identity very well.

She is one of the current Empress's trusted ministers and is the head of the Plum Blossom Guards, who are in charge of the interior and exterior of the imperial palace.

He holds immense power and a crucial position in the court, and no one dares to underestimate him.

At the same time, according to Mu Yun's understanding, Man Qingqiu's martial arts attainments are unfathomable, and it is very likely that he has reached the perfect state of the Divine Mansion.

With such extraordinary martial arts skills, he is one of the most powerful people in the Great Xia Dynasty.

As for Man Qingqiu's appearance, Mu Yun didn't even need to think about it. She must have come with the will of that person.

I'm afraid he came here just for Princess Xingyue.

Now, I just hope that Princess Xingyue is still alive, otherwise Mu Yun really doesn’t know how the Empress will react.

Of course, Mu Yun knew very well that there were some things that were beyond his control.

Especially when it comes to the secrets of the royal family, even he, the deputy chief of the Xuanniao Guard, should not know too much.

He quickly turned around and whispered instructions to the Xuanniao guards behind him.

"Alright, all of you go and seal off the area immediately. Don't allow anyone to get close to Master Lu."

After Mu Yun gave his orders to the Xuanniao Guards, he immediately turned around and left, as if he had not seen Lu Xuan.

His action may seem simple, but it is actually a wise choice for self-protection.

Although those Earth-level Xuanniao Guards were very curious, they strictly followed Mu Yun's orders and immediately left in various directions.

They know that knowing too much about some things may bring about fatal disaster.

Man Qingqiu didn't care much about the departure of Mu Yun and the others.

She moved with graceful and elegant steps, as if every step was on the clouds.

Her figure appears particularly mysterious in the void, giving people a sense of otherworldliness.

Man Qingqiu stopped only when she was a few meters away from Lu Xuan.

Immediately, her eyes rippled like water, her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was as sweet as a clear spring: "Master Lu, how are you?"

Man Qingqiu's gaze was as gentle as flowing water, yet somewhat unfathomable, as if he could see through everything.

At this moment, Man Qingqiu had a faint smile on her face, which was hard to understand.

Lu Xuan's eyes were as calm as water, without any fluctuation in his expression. He even looked directly at Shang Man Qingqiu's eyes without hesitation, and their eyes met in the air.

Although Man Qingqiu's appearance startled Lu Xuan a little, he returned to normal in a flash, with almost no obvious changes in his expression and behavior.

Lu Xuan nodded slightly as a greeting, then spoke leisurely with just the right amount of doubt in his tone, "Master Mei, what brings you here?"

In Lu Xuan's heart, he had actually already guessed Man Qingqiu's purpose.

But he didn't point it out directly. Instead, he asked like this first, testing the waters calmly.

Man Qingqiu's beautiful eyes moved, subconsciously taking in everything around her. The shock in her heart was like a surging wave, and it took a long time to calm down.

She really didn't expect that she had made a mistake when she was in the palace.

This Lu Xuan is actually a Yuanshen Zhenren who has reached the realm of Divine Mansion!
Not long ago, a terrifying force that could destroy the world spanned a long distance of dozens of miles and impacted Man Qingqiu's perception without reservation.

The terrifying aftermath of that white beam of light alone was like a heavy hammer, hammering hard at Man Qingqiu's mind.

Even Man Qingqiu couldn't help but feel a strong sense of fear.

Judging from Man Qingqiu's years of accumulated experience and intuition, this is the power of heaven and earth that is so majestic and pure.

It is very likely that it was the cunning guy Wen Fengyuan who did not hesitate to sacrifice his own divine consciousness and soul to detonate the original power of heaven and earth in the sacrificial vessel.

Thinking of this, Man Qingqiu frowned, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and her pace suddenly quickened. She turned into a dreamy afterimage and rushed towards the center of the explosion.

When she finally arrived at her destination, she was overwhelmed by the terrifying power of the explosion of the origin of heaven and earth that had once ravaged the world.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared.

And in such a short period of time, such a devastating force can be eliminated into nothingness.

The only person who could accomplish such a shocking feat is probably the unfathomable Lu Xuan in front of us.

Lu Xuan!

Every time this man showed his strength, it constantly refreshed Man Qingqiu's cognition.

Even Man Qingqiu found it hard to believe that Lu Xuan could be so powerful.

Man Qingqiu was secretly speculating in her heart, if it was as she expected, then the white beam of light that had just shot straight into the sky would...

The power contained within it is absolutely superior to the perfection of the Divine Mansion realm.

After all, Man Qingqiu himself is a powerful person who has reached the perfection of the Divine Mansion realm, and he is very familiar with the power range of this realm.

With her current strength, if she wants to release an attack that surpasses the perfection of the Divine Mansion realm, she must hold an Eight-Patterned Moon Instrument or a higher grade sacrificial instrument.

Otherwise, she would not be able to release such a shocking and powerful force comparable to the white beam of light just now.

Man Qingqiu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the shock that was surging in his heart, and slowly turned his gaze forward.

That was Lu Xuan's position. Right beside Lu Xuan, there was a purple flame cover that was burning fiercely.

"Master Lu, I am deeply grateful for your assistance and tireless efforts. I will report to His Majesty everything I have just seen and heard truthfully, without leaving out anything."

As he spoke, Man Qingqiu bowed slightly and continued with a calm expression.

"I have come all the way here on His Majesty's orders to welcome Princess Xingyue back to the palace."

Welcome Princess Xingyue back to the palace?

When Lu Xuan heard this, a barely perceptible strange expression flashed across his face.

Then, Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Princess Xingyue's heart was crushed by the old man Wen Fengyuan's spiritual power.

Although Lu Xuan immediately wiped out the remaining spiritual power of Wen Fengyuan, he was powerless to save Princess Xingyue's heart.

Now that this person is gone, how can we talk about welcoming him back to the palace?

Then, Lu Xuan sighed slightly, pretended to be a little annoyed and guilty on his face, and bowed to Man Qingqiu and said.

"Alas, Master Mei, this time it was my fault that I failed to protect Princess Xingyue and caused her to lose her life."

"As for the credit, I feel unworthy of it and have betrayed His Majesty's trust."

However, after Man Qingqiu heard the news of Princess Xingyue's death, there was no emotion on his face.

This discovery made Lu Xuan suspicious and felt very strange.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Lu Xuan's mind like lightning, making him suddenly remember something.

The last time, the man from the Wu family was crushed by his power of heaven and earth and turned into a pool of blood foam.

But who could have imagined that in just a few hours, that guy would come back to life and be alive and kicking again. Just like that, a mere ant from the Outer Gang Grandmaster escaped right under Lu Xuan's nose.

Since the Great Xia royal family has been able to firmly suppress the eight major families for nearly two thousand years, it is by no means a coincidence.

Therefore, the royal family of Daxia must possess a power that is more powerful than the eight major families.

As a member of the Great Xia royal family, Princess Xingyue is very likely to possess incredible recovery abilities, just like the person from the Wu family.

Her broken heart might be able to recover, her disabled limbs would regain their vitality, and even her damaged meridians and internal channels would be able to heal.

Lu Xuan was secretly guessing this in his heart, and Man Qingqiu on the opposite side seemed to see through Lu Xuan's thoughts at once.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and she said softly, "Master Lu, you don't have to worry about this matter."

"Princess Xingyue's matter will be handed over to our Plum Blossom Guards."

After hearing what Man Qingqiu said, Lu Xuan was secretly happy.

It would be exactly what he wanted if someone took the initiative to take over this hot potato.

Lu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, his voice filled with a sense of relief, and replied crisply, "Okay!"

So, without thinking, Lu Xuan raised his right hand gently and waved it forward casually.

In an instant, the purple flame cover that tightly wrapped Princess Xingyue disappeared without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, Princess Xingyue's body was gently lifted up by a mysterious giant hand as if from the void.

In a steady and slow manner, it floated leisurely towards Man Qingqiu.

When Princess Xingyue's body slowly floated down in front of Man Qingqiu.

Man Qingqiu's beautiful eyes, which were originally as clear as autumn water, actually had strands of red light surging and emerging in them, revealing a bit of strangeness and charm.

Then, Man Qingqiu slightly raised her pair of jade-white hands.

I saw a layer of faint, dreamy red mist lingering on the tips of those jade fingers.

Like the soft petals of plum blossoms, with an extremely amazing aura, it slowly infused into Princess Xingyue's body.

Under the nourishment of this mysterious crimson mist, Princess Xingyue's originally bloodless and frosty face disappeared.

In an instant, a faint blush appeared on her face, making her look as if she was given new vitality and energy.

After doing these things, Man Qingqiu's movements were graceful and calm, as if he just waved his hand casually and lifted up Princess Xingyue's body.

She controlled her power just right, neither hurting Princess Xingyue nor causing any disturbances.

At this moment, a loud noise was heard in the air behind Man Qingqiu, and several figures cut through the sky and emerged one by one.

They were the elite of the Plum Blossom Guard. The members of the Plum Blossom Guard appeared silently and had obviously been hiding nearby.

These women, dressed in tight-fitting clothes with plum blossom patterns, had sharp eyes and agile movements, and they took over Princess Xingyue's body steadily.

Then they stood still in unison, waiting for orders, and everyone's eyes were full of respect and obedience for Man Qingqiu.

Then, Man Qingqiu smiled slightly and said to Lu Xuan, "Master Lu, there is no time to waste on that matter. I will not disturb you any further."

"We, the Plum Blossom Guards, must return to the palace to report to His Majesty."

In response, Lu Xuan just nodded slightly and said calmly: "Master Mei, please do as you wish."

Lu Xuan watched Man Qingqiu and Meihuawei's figures gradually disappear into the distance, a hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes.

Then, Lu Xuan couldn't help but turn his gaze to the shocking huge pit in front of him.

An expression of deep pain instantly appeared on his face.

When I think of that old guy Wen Fengyuan, he actually detonated an extremely precious Seven-Pattern Moon Artifact without hesitation when he was dying.

Lu Xuan's heart felt as if it was being plucked hard by someone.

You know, the Seven-Patterned Moon Artifact is so rare and precious. It was destroyed in an instant. How could Lu Xuan not be heartbroken?

That’s a huge amount of system points!
Also, Lu Xuan put the Xuantian hairpin that he had found from the ghost thing in Haoran Mansion back on Princess Xingyue.

Although the Xuantian hairpin is a seven-patterned moon artifact, the origin of heaven and earth contained in it has long been exhausted. I am afraid it is not even comparable to a Chen-level sacrificial artifact.

Lu Xuan simply acted like a kind-hearted person and returned the Xuantian hairpin to Princess Xingyue.

Just when Lu Xuan felt heartbroken and regretful, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind, as if he had grasped some key.

His eyes suddenly condensed.

wrong!

Lu Xuan realized that the Wen family, as the largest family in the Eastern Region, had a profound heritage and it was impossible for them to have only one sacrificial vessel.

Even if the Seven-Patterned Moon Artifact Haoran Ruler was detonated, the other sacrificial artifacts of the Wen family might still be buried underground.

Lu Xuan's eyes were burning, and his thoughts were racing in his mind.

Treasures like sacrificial vessels are made of extremely hard materials and are naturally formed. Ordinary external forces cannot damage them at all.

Only by entering the sacrificial vessel with divine consciousness and soul can the powerful original power of heaven and earth within it be detonated.

When he thought of this, Lu Xuan became certain that there were still sacrificial vessels in the basement of the Wen family mansion.

Lu Xuan's mind suddenly moved, and the immense power of his soul in his divine palace rushed out in an instant like a surging wave.

A deep purple light flashed in his eyes, and he directed this powerful spiritual power to every corner of the Wen family mansion without reservation.

In an instant, Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness and soul controlled the power of heaven and earth with all his strength, transforming it into an invisible but tough giant net.

It enveloped the entire Wen family mansion in an all-pervasive manner.

Every inch of air and every brick and stone seemed to be under Lu Xuan's divine sense, and nothing could escape his perception.

"Boom!"

There was a deafening bang.

The movement was like a giant standing tall and upright, with the momentum to destroy the world, suddenly overturning the ground.

The earth began to tremble violently again, and cracks spread in all directions.

Time passed slowly, but Lu Xuan seemed tireless and continued to release his spiritual power.

The boundless power of the soul lifted up the ground of the Wen family mansion inch by inch, leaving no trace of any possible sacrificial vessels.

Lu Xuan was concentrating on using the power of his soul to explore his surroundings, and everything around him was within his perception.

Suddenly, he seemed to have noticed something unusual and stopped abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xuan suddenly turned his head at an extremely fast speed, his eyes accurately locked on an inconspicuous corner on the ground.

In the corner covered with dirt and wood blocks, a bronze round bead lay quietly.

The surface of the bronze beads is engraved with some ancient and mysterious patterns, and in the dim light, it emits a faint mysterious glow.

"This bead?"

Lu Xuan murmured softly, a look of joy on his face. Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly stretched out his right hand and clenched the air with his palm.

The bronze bead that was originally lying quietly in the corner suddenly flew towards Lu Xuan like an arrow.
