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

Chapter 262 You can leave, but Wu Jiu can’t!
"Oh?"

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of interest flashing in his expression, as if he was carefully pondering what Wu Jiu had just said.

Wu family?

He actually sent someone to negotiate with me?
He thought to himself that it must be the person who placed his spiritual power on Wu Jiu.

Lu Xuan's gaze slowly fell on Wu Jiu's forehead, where there was a hidden power of divine consciousness and soul.

According to Lu Xuan's estimation, this power has far exceeded that of a Yuanshen Zhenren who has achieved great success in the Divine Mansion Realm, and is almost infinitely close to that of a warrior who has reached perfection in the Divine Mansion Realm.

Whenever the purple lines on Wu Jiu's forehead shone, they were wrapped in the powerful and heavy power of heaven and earth, as if they could crush the mountains and rivers and make the sun and the moon pale in comparison.

Such a majestic power of heaven and earth, even Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It was obvious that the person who wanted to negotiate with him had an unfathomable level of martial arts.

It is very likely that he is a top-notch warrior who has reached the perfection of the Divine Mansion realm, or perhaps, he is a peerless old monster who has surpassed the perfection of the Divine Mansion realm.

Lu Xuan's eyes seemed to contain endless mysteries, and the colors in his deep eyes changed rapidly, as if he was weighing the pros and cons, or thinking about something.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xuan suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed forward. In an instant, the vast power of his mind and soul poured down like a raging flood that broke through a dam.

"Humph!"

A cold snort came from Lu Xuan's throat, carrying with it unquestionable majesty, "Come with me!" His voice was like a huge bell, shaking all directions.

While the words were still echoing in the air, Lu Xuan's right hand had already stretched out, and then accurately grabbed Wu Jiu, who was looking terrified.

Lu Xuan's movements were clean and neat, like picking up a chicken that had no power to resist, and he lifted Wu Jiu's body steadily in the air.

At this moment, an extremely terrifying force of heaven and earth surged out from the palm of Lu Xuan's right hand, suppressing Wu Jiu tightly.

This force of heaven and earth was too overbearing, and no consideration was given to whether Wu Jiu could withstand it.

Wu Jiu only felt that all the bones in his body were creaking, and the powerful Gang Yuan energy in his body seemed to be frozen and could not be circulated at all.

Even the purple lines on Wu Jiu's forehead, which were originally mysterious and glowing.

At this moment, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured on it, and it instantly became dim and dull, losing all its momentum.

After Lu Xuan successfully broke through to the perfection of the Divine Mansion Realm, he vaguely touched the bottleneck of the Cave Void Realm.

This breakthrough brought about a drastic change in his strength.

Even he himself couldn't estimate how strong he was now.

Under Lu Xuan's spiritual perception, endless power seemed to surge around his body. It was a deeper understanding and control of the power of heaven and earth.

Lu Xuan's current control over the power of heaven and earth has reached a level that is difficult for other warriors in the Divine Mansion realm to achieve.

Lu Xuan can now do whatever he wants and mobilize the tremendous power between heaven and earth.

Every time Lu Xuan activated his divine consciousness and spirit to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, his every move could cause changes in the situation.

Obviously, Lu Xuan has cultivated the power of heaven and earth that can be controlled in the Divine Mansion realm to perfection and the pinnacle.

When Lu Xuan raised his hand, the endless power of heaven and earth was at his disposal.

Therefore, the only thing Lu Xuan can be sure of now is that he has reached the peak of strength within the scope of the Divine Mansion Realm and below the Cave Void Realm.

Lu Xuan has absolute confidence. Under the Dongxu realm, he is invincible and can crush everything with absolute strength!
It was precisely with this astonishing power that Lu Xuan was able to suppress the spiritual power that was placed on Wu Jiu's forehead.

Immediately, under everyone's gaze, Lu Xuan calmly raised his other hand and slowly waved his sleeve towards the void in front of him.

This action seems extremely gentle, but it seems to contain the power to tear the world apart.

Just a moment later, the empty space in front was forcibly cut open by Lu Xuan.

Then, as everyone looked on in disbelief, a huge hole as dark as ink, deep and endless suddenly opened up.

That hole in space was like a black abyss leading directly to the underworld, bottomless.

It exudes a chilling aura at all times, as if it can devour everything around it.

After Lu Xuan took a look at the deep space crack, he remained calm and picked up Wu Jiu.

After just one step, the two of them disappeared from the sight of Mu Yun and others.

And after Lu Xuan stepped into the space crack that was several meters high, it healed at an extremely fast speed, leaving no trace.

Time flies, and we are on a flat land surrounded by mountains dozens of miles away.

In the originally calm air, a huge space crack suddenly appeared without any warning, as if a hideous wound was torn across the sky and earth.

Immediately afterwards, an object was thrown out from the space crack as if it was thrown by a powerful force.

Then, the object fell heavily to the ground, splashing a large amount of dust.

Looking closely, who else could the object that fell down in such a mess be but Wu Jiu?

Lu Xuan had no sympathy for people like Wu Jiu.

He knew that if he had not appeared in time, Mu Yun would have been killed by him.

All the martial arts skills that you have cultivated with great effort will turn into a dream and disappear in an instant.

Just based on the fact that Wu Jiu intended to destroy Mu Yun's cultivation, Lu Xuan was completely right, and killing him was also justified.

No matter whether it was the Wu family or anyone else, no one could find any fault with Lu Xuan.

After all, according to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, if you dare to attack the Xuanniao Guards, there will be only one outcome.

Kill without mercy!

However, Lu Xuan did not kill him immediately. He knew in his heart that Wu Jiu was just a small fry.

The Wu family behind him is the real trouble.

Lu Xuan wanted to see what those people from the Wu family wanted to talk to him about.

If Lu Xuan hadn't had this in mind, Wu Jiu would have suffered more than just losing an arm.

His life is so bad that he doesn't even have the qualifications to see Lu Xuan. He will be crushed into pieces by Lu Xuan's spiritual power!

However, at this moment, Wu Jiu's face was filled with humiliation, and his extremely resentful expression seemed to freeze the air around him.

After all, he is a member of the eight major families. How dare this bastard Lu Xuan humiliate him like this!
Just when Wu Jiu couldn't hold it back any longer and was about to explode without hesitation, the purple lines on his forehead looked like mysterious runes that were ignited.

In an instant, the purple lines shone brightly, so dazzling that it almost made people dizzy.

Immediately afterwards, a strange scene happened. The purple lines seemed to have their own consciousness and peeled off and fell off from Wu Jiu's forehead.

The purple lines that fell off from Wu Jiu's forehead were floating in the air.

After a moment, it gradually transformed into a clear and huge face shadow.

The shadow of the face was several feet tall and looked like an extremely old man.

The old man's hair and beard were white as frost and snow, and his face was deep, revealing an indescribable majesty and mystery. As soon as Wu Jiu saw the old man's shadowy face floating in mid-air, he, who was originally in a state of disarray after the fall, suddenly felt a surge of motivation.

Wu Jiu quickly climbed up from the ground using his hands and feet, with a look of resentment on his face, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Ancestor, that bastard brat is Lu Xuan!
And Lu Xuan, the person Wu Jiu mentioned and the one he hated so much, was now standing quietly ten meters away.

However, Wu Jiu's complaint not only failed to win the old man's protection, but instead seemed to ignite a powder keg.

"Shut up!" the old man roared, his voice like a bell, as if it could shake the sky. "You are a useless piece of shit who can't do anything good, and you only cause trouble. Get out of here!"

The old man's voice was filled with anger at having failed to live up to expectations.

Under this pressure, Wu Jiu froze in place, his face turning pale and red. He felt aggrieved but didn't dare to say another word.

Because, this ancestor of the Wu family is the third ancestor of the Wu family, Wu Sheng!

An existence at the Half-Step Void Realm.

Therefore, even if Wu Jiu had ten thousand guts, he would never dare to disobey the ancestor Wu Sheng!

The reason why Wu Sheng scolded Wu Jiu so angrily was very profound.

Just now, his divine consciousness, which was even more powerful than that of a real Yuanshen, was forcibly suppressed by Lu Xuan, who looked extremely young.

Just one hand was enough to make his divine consciousness and soul lose the power to resist.

If it weren’t for Lu Xuan in front of him, who took back the extremely terrifying power of heaven and earth.

Wu Sheng even suspected that his divine consciousness and soul would be completely wiped out by Lu Xuan in an instant, reduced to ashes without leaving a trace.

Wu Sheng was shocked and angry that Lu Xuan had such powerful strength.

There is only one possibility for a warrior in the world who can suppress his divine consciousness and spirit so easily.

This Lu Xuan was either a martial artist who had reached the perfection of the Divine Mansion realm, or he was at the Half-Step Void realm like him!

"Hiss!" Wu Sheng sucked in a breath of cold air, his heart filled with turmoil, his eyes fixed on Lu Xuan.

This boy is so powerful, it's really terrifying!
Thoughts were swirling in his mind, and countless ideas flashed through his mind.

At this moment, the Wu family has only two choices.

First, put aside past grudges, turn enemies into friends, and take the initiative to make friends with Lu Xuan, the martial arts genius.

Becoming friends with Lu Xuan would not only help to eliminate the misunderstanding between him and the Wu family.

Maybe we can use his power and his identity as the deputy chief of Xuanniao Guard to let the Wu family take control of part of the power of Xuanniao Guard.

The second is to mobilize all the power of the Wu family at all costs and try to completely destroy Lu Xuan in front of them to prevent future troubles.

But this is undoubtedly a very tricky thing.

The strength displayed by Lu Xuan in front of him was really too astonishing.

When Wu Sheng thought about this, a kind smile quickly appeared on his old face.

It was as if he was a different person, so friendly that it caught people off guard.

"Friend Lu," Wu Sheng said calmly, with a hint of intimacy, "I've thought about it, and perhaps there's some misunderstanding between us."

"How about, for this old man's sake, I'll write off the grudge between you and the Wu family and let bygones be bygones. What do you think?"

Wu Sheng paused, a gleam in his eyes, and he said calmly, "The four-patterned star artifact, the Moon Chaser Staff, that was in your hand before, was originally something from our Wu family."

"But now, consider it as a gift from our Wu family to you, Daoist Brother Lu, as an apology."

After stating this condition, Wu Sheng looked at Lu Xuan expectantly, as if waiting for his reply. "Fellow Daoist Lu, what do you think?"

Wu Sheng's face was full of confidence. He believed that the conditions he offered to Lu Xuan were already full of sincerity and a rare opportunity.

After all, in the land of the Great Xia Dynasty, there are very few people who can make the Wu family, one of the eight major families, bow their heads and make concessions.

As a powerful person in the Half-Step Void Realm and the third ancestor of the Wu family, Wu Sheng was able to humble himself and say these words, which showed that he valued Lu Xuan very much.

Lu Xuan, this young man, is a smart man and he knows how to choose.

As Wu Sheng expected, Lu Xuan did agree to the conditions he proposed.

"can!"

Lu Xuan responded decisively.

Anyway, for him, he can get a precious four-pattern star weapon for free without paying any price.

Why not do such a business that is sure to make money?

"very good!"

When Wu Sheng saw Lu Xuan agreed, he smiled and spoke hurriedly.

"Friend Lu, from now on, the grudge between you and our Wu family will be written off."

As he spoke, Wu Sheng's smile grew even wider, and he warmly invited him, "If you return to Tiandu in the future, I hope you can come to the Wu family for a chat."

"Let this old man have the opportunity to witness your elegance with my own eyes, Fellow Daoist Lu."

Wu Jiu, who was below, saw his ancestor chatting and laughing with Lu Xuan.

He stood there in a daze, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.

This...what's going on?

Grandpa, why did you change your mind?
Wu Jiu was screaming wildly in his heart, full of hatred for Lu Xuan.

He didn't want to see a junior like Lu Xuan living in this world for even a moment.

Didn’t we agree on this before?
He wanted to make Lu Xuan, this ignorant young man, bow his head and admit his mistake to the Wu family, and then naturally take back his four-pattern star weapon, the Moon-Chasing Staff.

But how did the current scene turn out to be that the Wu family is bowing to this bastard young man Lu Xuan?

Damn Lu Xuan!
Wu Jiu felt like his lungs were about to explode. The rage burning in his chest was threatening to swallow him whole.

This bastard Lu Xuan almost took his life before, and also stole his sacrificial utensils.

Now it’s my fault?
Is there any royal law for this?

However, before Wu Jiu could open his mouth to dissuade him, Lu Xuan's low voice came from afar.

"Today, Wu Jiu openly attacked and killed the deputy chief of the Xuanniao Guard. According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, he should be executed immediately!"

Lu Xuan looked cold and stern as he spoke indifferently.

"You can go, but Wu Jiu, you must stay and die!" After saying this, Lu Xuan didn't even raise his eyelids and casually waved at Wu Sheng in the air.

This look was as if he was driving away an insignificant fly, signaling him to leave quickly.
