I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Lu Xuan secretly gasped.

The opponent possessed the strength of a high-level fifth-rank cultivator, and their mental power was also exceptionally strong.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but become more wary.

This person should be the old guy Yi Shuhe mentioned, who possesses some ancient secret techniques; we must be wary of him.

Faced with the oppressive aura emanating from Ebi.

Lu Xuan did not hesitate and activated the foundation of his spiritual palace.

In an instant.

Twenty-five spiritual foundation stones roared out and appeared around the body, forming a powerful aura at this moment.

Although it has not yet formed a domain effect, the sheer power of this aura is enough to force those around it to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.

If one were to fall into this aura, some of their power would naturally be suppressed by Lu Xuan.

"The cornerstone of the spiritual realm!"

"You've actually condensed so many spiritual foundation stones!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Even if I devour you, I can still break through to the next level!"

When Elder Hai saw that Lu Xuan had released a full twenty-five Spiritual Foundation Stones, his eyes immediately lit up with the excitement of someone seeing a beautiful woman.

He wished he could devour and refine Lu Xuan completely right now.

Why did he go to such lengths to send the Prince of Xiping to search for relics in the ancient city of Guanlan?

Isn't it all about increasing strength?

The reason they planned for so long, in order to obtain the royal bloodline, was naturally to increase their strength.

Only by absorbing the cultivation of the other party can one's own strength be improved more quickly.

After he devoured Lu Xuan, his cultivation level broke through to the sixth rank.

They might be able to storm into the royal family and forcibly seize the royal bloodline.

He thought that with the death of the Prince of Xiping, his plans had largely failed, but unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn for the better.

In an instant, Elder Hai roared and released his aura.

The vast spiritual power also stirred up the energy between heaven and earth at this moment.

At that moment, it all poured into the one-eyed raven on its shoulder.

boom!

The one-eyed crow flapped its wings and flew.

As the power of heaven and earth was fully poured into it, the one-eyed raven's aura was constantly being protected.

"Beep!"

The one-eyed raven was surrounded by terrifying demonic power.

Its wings flapped.

The terrifying spiritual energy transformed into sharp blades, blasting towards Lu Xuan.

"Spirit Armor!"

Lu Xuan let out a low shout and conjured the Spirit Azure Armor to block in front of him.

However, the opponent's strength is, after all, a level above Lu Xuan's.

The sheer amount of mental fluctuations that erupted were enough to almost force Lu Xuan back.

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, the Spirit Armor in Lu Xuan's hand was also constantly surging with spiritual energy.

While defending himself, Lu Xuan didn't stop either. He freed one hand and swung the Crimson Flame Bone-Splitting Whip in his hand, fiercely lashing it forward.

"Snapped!"

The Crimson Flame Bone-Splitting Whip roared out.

It transformed into a ferocious giant python, tearing through the void as it fell.

But Elder Hai still formed hand seals, controlling the one-eyed crow to flap its wings and knock the whip away. At the same time, the one-eyed crow flew around Lu Xuan, ready to attack at any moment.

The two then exchanged blows within the palace grounds.

The guards of the Prince's Palace, who had retreated to the side, were also observing the battle.

One of the younger commanders, however, asked a more senior commander a question out of curiosity.

"My lord, why don't we attack together and capture Lu Xuan? After all, Elder Hai has served the Prince for many years!"

"Are you stupid? Old Hai just said that the prince is dead. Our mission isn't to avenge him!"

The old commander said this, while the young commander seemed not to quite understand.

The old commander then continued to explain.

"When the prince was alive, Elder Hai was the prince's steward, and he was considered our half-master, so naturally he could command us."

"But now that the Prince is gone, tell me, who is our master? It's naturally the imperial court! Not this old man Hai!"

The old commander's words immediately enlightened the young commander.

Yes!

Hai Lao's status and position are all thanks to the prince.

Now that the prince is dead, are they going to continue serving Elder Hai as their master?

For them, this was a very good opportunity to get away directly.

The Prince's mansion was never clean to begin with.

If the prince is purged, the guards in his residence will all be affected to some extent.

If we pull back from the brink now, we might still have a good chance to turn over a new leaf.

When the new prefect arrives, he can be treated leniently.

Strictly speaking, they were guards of the prefectural governor's office, but it just so happens that the prefectural governor was a prince.

Upon hearing this, the young commander finally realized the profound meaning behind the old commander's words.

"Hehe, luckily our Tiger Commander hasn't shown up yet."

"Otherwise, if he gives the order, we'll have to charge, otherwise we'll be disobeying orders... Come on, let's all step back and observe the situation!"

These commanders were all at the level of third-grade martial artists.

However, a third-rank martial artist is clearly no match for Lu Xuan and Elder Hai.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan had an identity as a member of the Fengwu Hall, which allowed them to legitimately step aside and temporarily ignore the matter.

They are not afraid even if they are blamed afterward.

After all, the argument was sound.

They don't need to worry about what happens next.

All that remains is for Lu Xuan and Elder Hai to determine the victor.

But I must say...

Being able to watch powerful individuals fight up close is a very good potential perk for guards.

Because of this, they have more opportunities to observe major battles.

At the same time, the chances of being overwhelmed by the aftershocks of a stronger opponent also increase.

Lu Xuan briefly tested the opponent's strength.

Eel himself is not strong; his main strength lies in his mental power. After his mental power merges with that of the one-eyed raven, the one-eyed raven can unleash powerful attacks.

That one-eyed crow was quite distinctive; it seemed to belong to the category of demonic beasts.

Moreover, his mental strength is exceptionally powerful.

However, although the opponent's mental attack was strong, it was not so strong as to be outrageous.

At least for now, they can't even break through the Spirit Armor.

It's not that the Spirit Armor is incredibly powerful.

The real reason was that Lu Xuan's Spirit Armor was so powerful.

That's why we've seen such great results.

It can easily withstand the opponent's attacks.

"That's all there is to it."

"After attacking for so long, it's time to experience my methods."

Without wasting any words, Lu Xuan immediately unleashed the Golden Soul Cone.

He made hand gestures.

One's own spiritual power and Yuan Gang power are condensed and fused together.

At this moment, it quickly coalesced into a golden cone that exuded terrifying power.

"go!"

Lu Xuan unleashed the Golden Soul Cone.

The golden soul cone immediately shot towards Elder Hai's direction.

Like a golden lightning bolt.

There is no need to launch an attack in the direction of the one-eyed crow.

Just focus on the Ember in front of you.

"Golden Soul Cone!?"

Elder Hai felt a hint of disdain in his heart when he sensed the supernatural power Lu Xuan was using.

"Do you know that this cultivation technique was borrowed from the Nine Absolute Divine Sect and given to the Golden Light Sect?!"

"You think you can defeat me with this move!"

Hai Lao formed a hand seal.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth surrounded him, quickly transforming into a huge, spinning spiritual energy top that protected him within.

At the same time, this spirit-powered spinning top was also spinning wildly.

The power of the Golden Soul Cone was continuously neutralized.

Boom boom boom!

The energy of the Golden Soul Cone was immediately shattered by the opponent's spiritual energy spinning top.

"go!"

"Let me show you the vortex of my despair!"

With a roar, Elder Hai propelled the spiritual energy spinning top surrounding him toward Lu Xuan.

The roof tiles and stone bricks on the ground were constantly blown away by the power of the sea elder.

Whistling and dancing wildly.

Lu Xuan's Golden Soul Cone had no effect whatsoever.

"I underestimated this old man."

"Then let's try one more move."

"Haotu Dragon Sand Armor!"

Haotulongshajia.

Lu Xuan rarely uses this Heaven-rank martial art.

Because in many situations, it's impossible to force Lu Xuan to use this move.

Therefore, this was the first time Lu Xuan had used it after mastering it.

boom!

The Haotu Dragon Sand Armor is a move that uses the sand and soil energy of the earth to condense its own power.

Therefore, when Lu Xuan used this move, the surrounding energy continuously gathered towards him.

The rich, earthy atmosphere.

It resembles a huge, heavy fortress.

It easily withstood the opponent's release of a spiritual energy spinning top.

Rumble!

The spiritual energy spinning top continued to impact the Haotu Dragon Sand Armor that Lu Xuan had unleashed.

But Lu Xuan still easily defended himself.

"This Heaven-rank martial art is indeed far superior to the Earth-rank one."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Speaking of Heavenly Rank martial arts.

Lu Xuan had just started researching a new subject not long ago!
