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

Chapter 268: Eight major families, people from Tang and Jiang families are coming!
Mingxin Mansion!
Near the Mingxin Prefecture government office, a magnificent mansion stands quietly.

This place is quiet and peaceful, as if isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

Lu Xuan was in the main room deep in the mansion. The surrounding layout was simple yet grand, and there were several ancient scrolls hanging on the walls.

However, Lu Xuan didn't care. The reason why he didn't choose to leave early this time was that he wanted to personally take charge of Mingxin Mansion.

After all, Lu Xuan’s mission this time is of great importance and involves the Wen family, the number one family in the Eastern Region.

Today, the Wen family has been completely uprooted and reduced to ashes.

However, the sheer quantity and rarity of the martial arts resources stored in the Wen family's treasury are truly astonishing to everyone.

In the Wen family treasure house, there are mountains of spiritual objects from heaven and earth, magical weapons and martial arts techniques.

Even if you take out any one of them, it is enough to cause a huge storm in the Eastern Region's cultivation world, and attract countless martial arts masters to fight for it frantically.

Therefore, Lu Xuan had to personally stay in Mingxin Mansion to prevent anyone with bad intentions from interfering with the actions of the Xuanniao Guard.

At the same time, Lu Xuan had something else to do, so he stayed in Mingxin Mansion.

Lu Xuan slowly raised his right arm and held the floating world firmly in his palm.

At this moment, Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness had already entered the floating world. The dark light in the world flickered, reflecting those extremely rare spiritual objects in heaven and earth.

When Lu Xuan saw this scene, although his eyes were extremely calm, he could not hide the shock in his eyes, and he muttered to himself.

"5 top-grade spiritual objects, 15 high-grade spiritual objects, and 40 mid-grade spiritual objects!"

"This is only a portion of the Wen family's martial arts resources."

Lu Xuan's eyes were full of emotion, and his heart was filled with waves: these aristocratic families are indeed more profound than each other.

The Wen family truly deserves the title of the number one family in the Eastern Region.

Lu Xuan looked at the pile of top-grade spiritual objects in front of him. This number of spiritual objects was only half of the collection in the Wen family's treasure house.

Of course, the entire Wen family only has 6 of these extremely precious and top-grade spiritual objects from heaven and earth.

Lu Xuan took 5 portions by himself, and the remaining one was a top-grade spiritual object from heaven and earth.

Mu Yun was not tempted at all, but put it into the Xuanniaowei treasure house.

As for the reason, Lu Xuan had no idea.

Anyway, now that Lu Xuan has these five top-grade spiritual objects in his hands, he will never give them up.

As for the spiritual objects below the level of top-grade spiritual objects, Lu Xuan also took some depending on the situation.

Lu Xuan handed all the remaining spiritual creatures of heaven and earth to Mu Yun, asking him to distribute them reasonably to the Xuanniao Guards below.

However, just the tip of the iceberg of the Wen family, a prominent family in the Eastern Region, is already so astonishing.

In this case, what kind of amazing backgrounds do those big families standing in Tiandu, the Central Region, and other top forces have?
If there is a chance, Lu Xuan really wants to see the treasure troves of the big families and forces in Tiandu.

Faced with these mountains of priceless spiritual objects from heaven and earth, if it were the Lu Xuan of the past, he would probably have been so excited that he could hardly control himself.

But now Lu Xuan is much calmer than before.

Looking at these rare things in front of him, there was no greed or eagerness in Lu Xuan's eyes. They were as calm as a windless lake, without even a trace of ripples.

The next second, Lu Xuan quickly withdrew his spiritual thoughts and looked forward. The information on the system panel was reflected in Lu Xuan's pupils one by one.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Divine Palace True Person (Perfection)

功法：焚天刀法7/9，咫尺天涯2/9，不死不灭4/9。

Score: 27660
Lu Xuan's eyes just glanced at the system panel quickly and did not linger any longer.

The next second, Lu Xuan's right hand, which was holding the Floating World, suddenly exerted force, and his five fingers clasped tightly like iron clamps.

Immediately afterwards, a ray of divine power suddenly shot out from the palm of Lu Xuan's right hand and instantly poured into the Void Realm.

In an instant, a layer of strange black light suddenly appeared on the dim and lightless surface of the floating world.

The spiritual creatures of heaven and earth stored in the Floating World suddenly moved and shot out from the Floating World one after another.

Afterwards, all the spiritual creatures in heaven and earth seemed to be gently lifted up by a pair of invisible giant hands, slowly floating in the air and arranged in an orderly manner.

Every spiritual object in the world emits a soft and dazzling halo, illuminating the entire room like a dream.

There were so many spiritual creatures in the world, but at the moment they appeared in the world, not even a trace of spiritual energy from the heaven and earth was leaked out.

Because, every spiritual object of heaven and earth was sealed tightly by Lu Xuan using the powerful power of heaven and earth.
Lu Xuan's eyes suddenly focused, and the divine consciousness and soul in the divine palace were awakened, and he slowly opened his deep and mysterious purple eyes.

At the same time, an astonishing spiritual power burst out at a rapid speed.

Its power was so strong that the entire room was instantly wrapped in layers of terrifying power of heaven and earth, making it airtight.

When refining the spiritual objects of heaven and earth, it will cause some big commotion, and Lu Xuan doesn't want anyone to notice his every move.

Therefore, Lu Xuan's mind moved, and he used the power of his mind and soul to seal off this small world tightly.

In this way, the power released when refining the spiritual objects of heaven and earth will be confined in this small room and will not be able to dissipate at all.

"Next, it's time to refine these spiritual objects of heaven and earth." Lu Xuan's eyes were shining with purple light, like two mysterious purple suns.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xuan slowly closed his eyes.

At the same time, those spiritual creatures of heaven and earth suspended in the air, as if pulled by some mysterious force, began to float slowly towards Lu Xuan in an orderly manner.

In the west city of Mingxin Prefecture, there is a mansion, which is far away from where Lu Xuan is.

The gate of this mansion is magnificent, and the flying eaves and brackets show its majesty.

The servants and guards in front of the door all had stern expressions and sharp eyes, scanning the surroundings vigilantly, standing like ferocious monsters.

Almost everyone exudes a murderous aura, making those who approach them shudder.

The owner of this mansion is none other than the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture.

Of course, this is just one of his many private residences.

Because of the disaster that occurred in the East City of Mingxin Prefecture, nearly half of the buildings were destroyed and the city was in ruins.

The prefect of Mingxin Prefecture was panicked, fearing that his own interests would be damaged, so he hurriedly took advantage of the night and fled to Xicheng with all his property.

The reason why he acted so hastily was naturally because he was afraid of being discovered by the Xuanniao Guards.

After all, the entire Mingxin Prefecture city has now been taken over by the Xuanniao Guards.

As the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture, he was useless and could only let the Xuanniao Guards take over all the power of the prefectural government and maintain order in the city.

However, the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture had no idea that in the eyes of the Xuanniao Guards, his actions were nothing more than an attempt to cover up his own mistakes and deceiving himself.

As the person who took over the Mingxin Prefecture, Mu Yun didn't care about the little tricks of the Mingxin Prefecture's prefect.

Mu Yun was no longer surprised. Among ten county magistrates, nine were corrupt.

Um……..
There is also a very greedy person!

These words are eternal truths no matter which dynasty they are in.

At this moment, in the lobby of the mansion, the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture, who was usually so majestic and had the final say, no longer had any of his former majesty.

He was seen standing awkwardly in the middle of the lobby aisle, with his waist hunched and a flattering smile on his face.

On both sides of the lobby, candles flickered, and the dim light and shadows swayed on him, reflecting his slightly flattering expression.

His originally straight spine now seemed to be bent by invisible pressure, making him look completely different from his usual aloof image.

Around the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture, four figures sat quietly on wooden chairs.

Their figures were looming, as if blending into the darkness. The weak candlelight could only barely outline their vague contours, but could not clearly see their faces.

There was a depressing atmosphere in the air, as if even breathing had become heavy.

"The prefect of Mingxin Prefecture, right?"

A dark shadow slowly leaned forward from the darkness, and its voice was extremely peaceful, like a spring breeze in March.

But beneath this peace, there is an invisible towering mountain, which presses down the surrounding air so that it makes it stagnate, giving people an indescribable feeling of oppression.

The prefect of Mingxin Prefecture felt his breath catch, beads of sweat instantly oozing out of his forehead. He nodded hurriedly and stammered, "Yes...it's me. I wonder what you, my dear friends, can do for me?"

At this time, another black shadow chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "It's not really an order, but I have something I want to ask the prefect."

This joke made the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture's heart beat faster. He suppressed the fear in his heart and forced a smile.

"Please speak, I will tell you everything I know."

As the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture finished speaking, the shadowy figure who had appeared earlier slowly spoke again, "Could you tell me what happened to the Wen family?"

When he heard the word "Wen family", the prefect's body trembled violently, the smile on his face froze instantly, and beads of sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks.

His throat seemed to be blocked by something. After a long while, the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Wen...Wen family?"

The prefect of Mingxin Prefecture looked at the four mysterious men in front of him in disbelief with an expression that looked like he was about to cry.

The affairs of the Wen family have long been spread throughout the Mingxin Prefecture. Who doesn’t know that the Wen family was destroyed by those Xuanniao Guards?
But now, these four mysterious people whose origins are unknown actually dared to directly ask about the Wen family's affairs. They are simply seeking death!

It is obvious that anything involving the Wen family is now considered a taboo by everyone, and no one dares to have anything to do with the Wen family.

Fear and anxiety surged in the heart of the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture. He didn't know the origins of these people, let alone their relationship with the Wen family.

But he is very clear now.

No matter who these four people are, they were able to appear in his mansion quietly.

And he dared to ask about the Wen family so unscrupulously, so he is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Seniors, the Wen family's attempt to plot a rebellion has been..."

"The Wen family... The Wen family has been destroyed by the Xuanniao Guards."

The voice of the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture was trembling, almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

At this moment, the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture really wanted to point at the four bastards in front of him and curse them.

Outside the city of Mingxin Prefecture, notices posted by the Xuanniao Guards were posted all over the streets.

Are you guys blind?

It would have been fine if he was just blind, but he actually barged into his mansion so brazenly and brazenly, showing no regard for him, the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture.

But the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture knew in his heart that these people were definitely not good people.

Even if I was burning with anger, I had to hold it back and not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

The answer from the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture silenced the four dark shadows for a moment, and a suffocating atmosphere of oppression filled the air.

After a moment, the black shadow who spoke first said slowly: "Xuanniao Guard?"

"That's not what I'm asking!"

"I want to know who killed Duke Rong!"

"Wen Fengyuan!"

Another shadow sneered, a hint of surprise in his voice: "As far as I know, there are not many people in this world who can kill old man Wen Fengyuan!"

"If they were among the Xuanniao Guards, there would be even fewer."

At this moment, when the third black shadow slowly stood up, the heartbeat of the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture almost stopped.

The black shadow had an enchanting figure and light steps, as if a phantom walked out of the darkness.

Her voice is low and charming, with an irresistible temptation

It was actually a woman.

"hehe!"

The woman's laughter echoed in the lobby, as if carrying some kind of magic that made people uneasy.

Upon seeing this, the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture lowered his head even more, and even his breathing became cautious.

"Among the Xuanniao Guards, only those two can be absolutely sure of getting rid of that old fellow Wen Fengyuan."

When the prefect heard these words, he became even more frightened.

These people don't even take the Xuanniao Guards seriously. Who are they?
In a flash, the woman slowly walked in front of the prefect, and the candlelight illuminated her blurry face.

Although I couldn't see his specific appearance clearly, his eyes were flashing with a cold light.

The woman said softly, "My Lord, don't you agree?"

However, just when the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture was about to open his mouth to respond, he was shocked to find that

I don't know when, my body has turned into a pale skeleton.

And his consciousness also dissipated like smoke at this moment...

There was only a crisp yet dull sound, as if something suddenly broke.

Immediately afterwards, the skeleton of the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture fell to the ground without any warning.

The scattered bones rolled and collided on the cold ground, making a series of crackling sounds.

These sounds echoed in the silent hall, sounding extremely eerie and strange.

The pile of bones glowed palely under the flickering candlelight. The prefect who was alive just a moment ago had now turned into a pile of rubble.

The other three mysterious black shadows were still sitting steadily on their chairs, not saying a word.

The shadowy figure who had spoken first suddenly stood up, his tone filled with displeasure: "Jiang Yan, I haven't gotten the answer yet!"

However, the woman called Jiang Yan turned a blind eye to it, as if she hadn't heard it at all.

A charming smile appeared on her lips, and her eyes glanced at the black shadow, "Tang Yun, do you also want to try my method..."

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely terrifying shock wave suddenly erupted between Tang Yun and Jiang Yan, surging and turbulent.

This force directly shattered the entire space.

The surrounding tables, chairs, decorations, and even the solid walls were ravaged by this powerful force.

In an instant, it was like a fragile piece of paper, being ruthlessly crushed into powder and turned into dust that drifted away in the sky.

"Alright, both of you!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other two shadows hurriedly stood up and urgently advised, "The most important thing for us now is to find out who killed Wen Fengyuan!"

They knew very well that if they allowed Jiang Yan and Tang Yun to continue the confrontation, the situation would definitely get out of control.

After all, these two people are from the top three of the eight major families, the Tang family and the Jiang family.

"Humph!"

"This useless ant is of no use at all."

"It seems that we can only find some people from the Xuanniao Guard to find out who did it."

After a few voices fell, the candlelight flickered again, and the figures of the four people gradually disappeared into the darkness, as if they had never appeared.
