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

Chapter 281 Breaking through the barriers! Great joy for the Lu family!

Luo Gongli looked at Zi Yao unwillingly, and said in a sinister tone: "Humph!"

"Master Zi Sizhu, I hope you won't protect this guy Lu Xuan."

However, when he said this, the civil and military officials behind him moved away from him almost at the same time, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.

As if to say: "This guy, how dare he?"

"You even dare to question a mysterious woman like Zi Yao!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yao said softly, "Hmm?" Although her voice was soft, it carried an invisible pressure.

The next moment, there was a muffled "bang" sound, and a strange power fluctuation suddenly echoed in the pilgrimage temple.

Luo Gongli's body seemed to be hit by an invisible force.

The whole person lost his balance in an instant and rolled out on the smooth and transparent ground.

His figure rolled all the way like a ball out of control until he disappeared outside the hall door, leaving only a trace of embarrassment.

In the court, all the civil and military officials were stunned, secretly thanking themselves for not saying too much.

This woman's strength and methods are indeed unfathomable. She even dares to teach an important official like Luo Gongli a lesson without mercy.

A court minister who was the deputy chief was humiliated in public.

If it were some self-righteous people, they would probably even want to die.

Zi Yao stood there, looking calm, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.

She raised her eyes slightly, swept her gaze over the ministers, and then fell on Lin Youya, her voice cold and calm.

"Master Lin, since His Majesty has made the decision, this case will be handed over to me."

"Those Luo family servants involved in this case should also be handed over to the Xuanniao Guards for custody."

When the ministers heard this and realized that it had nothing to do with them, they all bowed and quickly left the pilgrimage hall.

Afraid that I would be the next person to be asked to "get out".

After all, Zi Yao is such a terrifying woman, and she is also the most trusted confidant of His Majesty.

When Lin Youya saw Zi Yao's gaze fixed on him, his originally calm and composed expression changed slightly, and then he revealed a respectful smile.

He bowed slightly, his tone humble and sincere: "Master Zi, please rest assured!"

"I have already sent those Luo family servants to the Xuanniao Guards in advance."

"If nothing unexpected happens, they should have arrived at the Xuanniao Guards by now."

Having said this, Lin Youya paused, a meaningful look on his face, and continued, "It's just that... those servants were subjected to the Mirror Light Technique many times."

"He has completely lost his mind and turned into a madman, like a walking corpse. There is no point in him anymore."

When Zi Yao heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she looked at Lin Youya deeply.

There was a hint of scrutiny and amusement in her eyes, as if she was re-evaluating the usually extremely low-key Director of the Mingjing Division.

Zi Yao sighed inwardly.

What an old fox!
He actually guessed in advance that I would appear in the court, and calmly eliminated those key witnesses, completely cutting off any chance of investigating Lu Xuan.

"Master Lin is indeed thoughtful and considerate."

"This matter will be handled properly by the head of this department."

Upon hearing this, Lin Youya's smile grew even more humble as he continued to bow and said, "Master Zi Si, you are too kind. I have only done my humble part to help the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Besides!"

"Master Zi, I believe that a genius like Master Lu could never be the murderer of the Inspector."

"If there is a chance, please convey my words to Master Zi Si."

"Just say that I admire Master Lu very much."

"If Master Lu doesn't mind, I will definitely come to visit you in person in the future!"

It turns out that the old guy Lin Youya went to so much trouble just to come for Lu Xuan.

Obviously, he wanted to make friends with Lu Xuan!

That’s right, even she herself finds Lu Xuan an incredible guy.

Zi Yao didn't say anything else, just looked at him deeply, then turned and left.

Her figure was like a phantom, and soon disappeared at the end of the court.

Lin Youya stood there, watching Zi Yao leave. The smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by an unfathomable calmness.

Lu Xuan.

It really makes people feel desperate!
If he proceeds step by step, Lu Xuan will most likely be able to break through to that realm!
True Lord Dongxu!

This is also the reason why Lin Youya chose to do things in a high-profile manner today to show goodwill to Lu Xuan.

Tiandu Xuanniao Guard!
Tiandu, the headquarters of Xuanniaowei!

Zi Yao stood quietly in the hall, a purple token floating in her hand.

The token is surrounded by a warm purple halo, exuding a mysterious aura.

Zi Yao's gaze was deep, as if through this purple token, she had penetrated the endless void and reached far away.

"Lu Xuan, when will you arrive in Beijing?"

"Your Majesty wants to see you."

Zi Yao's voice seemed to have passed through some mysterious power, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers and reaching Lu Xuan's ears.

At the same time, far underground in Qingyun County.

Lu Xuan, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.

A mysterious purple-gold light flashed in his eyes, as if he had awakened from deep cultivation.

Immediately afterwards, a crimson light emerged from his arms and hovered in front of him. It was a crimson token, echoing the purple token in Zi Yao's hand.

Lu Xuan locked his eyes tightly as he looked at the scarlet token in front of him, feeling somewhat guilty.

Because the person who contacted him this time was none other than Lord Sizhu!
Lu Xuan is now really afraid of this Lord Sizhu, and is asking about the whereabouts of the Xuanniao Tiansuo.

By that time, Lu Xuan really didn't know what excuse to use to fool her!

However, after confirming that the Zi Yao Sizhu did not mention the matter of the Xuanniao Sky Lock, Lu Xuan felt relieved.

"Master Sizhu, I will arrive in Tiandu in three days to meet His Majesty!"

This time when entering the palace, Lu Xuan was not as cautious as before.

So Lu Xuan agreed without any hesitation.

"it is good!"

After just one simple word, Zi Yao Sizhu decisively cut off the contact without even a thought of asking any more questions.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan no longer had any worries and slowly put away his identity token.

Two days ago, Lu Xuan ended his retreat.

However, after hurriedly informing Li Chengxing, he fell silent again to consolidate and familiarize himself with his own martial arts realm.

True Lord Dongxu!

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: True Lord Dongxu!
功法：焚天刀法8/9，咫尺天涯3/9，不死不灭6/9。

Score: 94660
"I didn't expect this retreat to last so long. Half a year has already passed just like that!"

Lu Xuan looked a little surprised, he didn't expect this.

If Li Chengxing hadn't told him the exact time, Lu Xuan would have really thought that only a few days had passed.

However, the reality is that he has already spent a full six months underground.

"A day in the cave is a thousand years in the real world," Lu Xuan muttered to himself, a hint of regret in his tone. He sat cross-legged, suspended underground, his aura restrained to the extreme.

He is almost like an ordinary mortal, yet he has a subtle otherworldly aura.

His existence seemed to be incompatible with this world, giving people the illusion that they were completely free from the constraints of heaven and earth, and had truly stepped into the realm of immortality.

If any mortal saw Lu Xuan, he would surely be amazed - this is clearly a living immortal!
However, what Lu Xuan didn't know was that it was a rare thing for him to break through the Dongxu realm in just half a year and successfully condense the Dharma image of heaven and earth.

It takes an ordinary martial arts practitioner several decades or even hundreds of years to break through to the Dongxu realm. Some people may not be able to reach this realm in their entire lives.

Even those cultivators who are hailed as peerless geniuses need several years or even more than ten years of hard practice before they can barely condense the Dharma image of heaven and earth.

However, Lu Xuan completed this astonishing feat in just half a year.

If this matter were to be spread out, it would probably shock the entire cultivation world.

After all, it is almost impossible for Lu Xuan to condense the Dharma image of heaven and earth at such a speed.

"It's time to go home." Lu Xuan said softly, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Lu Xuan's eyes focused, and his figure disappeared into the secret room in an instant, like a phantom.

Qingyun County Capital!
The Lu family mansion was bustling with activity.

A middle-aged man dressed in silk and satin was busy directing the servants and guards to decorate the mansion.

His voice was loud and powerful, with a bit of authority: "Hey, over there, clean it up for me!"

"The old man has instructed that all the celebratory items should be hung up within the next few days."

"May your Miss Qingqing give birth to twins!"

Upon hearing this, the servants quickened their hands and hung up festive decorations such as big red lanterns, ribbons, brocade, etc.

The entire Lu family mansion suddenly looked brand new and filled with a festive atmosphere.

The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to look at the man in a guard uniform beside him, and said in a serious tone.

"Li San, I leave this to you. You must handle this matter well."

"This is something the old man personally ordered. We can't be careless in the slightest!"

The guard named Li San quickly lowered his head and responded respectfully, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Sixth Master, don't worry, I, Li San, will definitely not let you down!"

The middle-aged man known as "Sixth Master" nodded with a satisfied smile on his face.

He patted Li San's shoulder and softened his tone: "Work hard, and when this is done, you will definitely get some benefits."

Upon hearing this, Li San's face lit up with joy, and he nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Sixth Master! I will do my best!"

Just as the Lu family was busy, a figure quietly appeared outside the gate of the mansion.

The man was dressed in a dark black brocade robe, with a restrained aura, just like an ordinary mortal, yet he faintly revealed an otherworldly temperament.

It was Lu Xuan who had just returned.

Fortunately, I had a few pieces of clothes in my vanity world, otherwise I would have to go home shirtless.

Lu Xuan stood outside the Lu family mansion, looking at the lively scene inside with lights and decorations. His eyes opened slightly and he felt confused.

"what?"

"Is this a happy event?"

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Lu Xuan's mind in an instant, but he couldn't figure out what day it was today.

Just as Lu Xuan was thinking, there was suddenly a commotion in the mansion.

A servant pointed tremblingly at the door and stammered, "Sixth Master... yes, yes, yes..."

The middle-aged man known as "Sixth Master" frowned and looked at the servant impatiently: "Huh? What's wrong?"

"You're hesitant. Speak clearly!"

The servant was still too nervous to speak. He just pointed outside the door with an excited look on his face.

Mr. Liu followed his gaze and turned to look outside the door. After just one glance, he was stunned where he stood.

"The young master is back!"

The servant from before finally shouted out, his voice filled with excitement that was hard to conceal.

Sixth Master looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure outside the door. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, and his words became incoherent: "It's Brother Xuan...you...you..."

It was obvious that there was a deep sense of strangeness and distance in Sixth Master's tone, as if Lu Xuan in front of him was no longer the familiar cousin he was back then.

But a supreme being.

On the contrary, Lu Xuan saw his nervousness and embarrassment, smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Sixth Brother."

The man in front of him, who looks much older than Lu Xuan, is one of Lu Xuan’s many cousins, Lu Liu!
Lu Xuan's call of "Sixth Brother" instantly narrowed the distance between the two of them.

Lu Liu's expression also relaxed, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face: "Brother Xuan, it really is you!"

"You are finally back!"

Lu Xuan nodded, his eyes sweeping across the mansion's brightly lit decorations. He asked curiously, "Sixth Brother, is there some happy event happening in the mansion? Why is it so lively?"

Upon hearing this, Sixth Master's face lit up with a smile, and his tone was filled with pride: "Brother Xuan, have you forgotten?"

"Qingqing gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, just three days ago."

"The old man was so happy that he went to Dengfeng County in person with a group of guards."

"Before the old man left, he told me to celebrate properly!"

"And make the house more festive!"

When Lu Xuan heard this, his eyes gradually brightened up, with an indescribable joy.

I actually forgot such an important thing!
Yes!

correct!

When I went to Dengfeng County at that time, Qingqing told me that she was pregnant for several months.

If you count the days and add the time that has passed over half a year, that's about it.

"Um!

It seems that I need to prepare some "small gifts" for my two little nephews.

Now, it’s too late to go back.

Lu Xuan was in a bit of a dilemma, as he didn't have anything good left on him.

suddenly!

Lu Xuan suddenly thought of someone and a smile instantly appeared on his face.

Then I can only borrow other people’s good things to help me out in an emergency.

The capital of Baidao Prefecture!
Inside the Xuanniaowei Mansion!

On the main seat, an old man in a crimson black bird robe sat upright, with a dignified expression and sharp eyes.

He is Li Chengxing, the deputy chief of Xuanniao Guard.

Below him, another old man in a green Xuanniao robe sat upright. His face was somewhat similar to Li Chengxing, but his temperament was more reserved.

There is no doubt that he is Li Chengfeng, the Xuanshi of the Xuanniao Guard of Baidao Prefecture.

Li Chengfeng looked up at Li Chengxing who was sitting on the main seat, and asked with a hint of uncertainty, "Third brother, did Old Lu really show up?"

Since Lu Xuan disappeared in Baidao Mansion for half a year, Li Chengxing, under the order of Zi Yao, the leader of Xuanniao Guard, came to Baidao Mansion in person to look for Lu Xuan's whereabouts.

Over the past six months, Li Chengxing has turned Baidao Mansion upside down, but he has still not been able to find Lu Xuan's whereabouts.

"Yes!"

"It seems that I should leave Baidao Mansion and return to Tiandu."
