The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

"Senior brother, when I came back, I encountered a group of strange people."

Just as Lu Yao was about to speak, Chen Xuan glanced at the night sky, then shook his head slightly, "No need, it's pointless."

"what?"

Lu Yao blinked, somewhat confused.

"The dead need no further introduction."

next moment.

Lu Yao felt a blur before her eyes as a rainbow streaked past from afar and landed out of thin air outside the courtyard.

The other party was dressed in a blue cloth robe, with half-white hair and beard, and an indifferent expression. An invisible pressure emanated from him.

Old Xu stood with his hands behind his back in the night, his gaze arrogant and indifferent. He ignored the others in the courtyard and walked straight toward Lu Yao.

"Little girl, come with me back to the Xu family."

"My young master has taken a liking to your innate talent and spirit, and is willing to make an exception to accept you into his family and pass on the Great Dao of the Xu Family Spirit to you."

"This is an incredible stroke of luck that you will never have again in your three lifetimes. Don't be ungrateful."

His tone was not one of asking, but rather of bestowing charity.

In his eyes, a mere ordinary girl should be grateful and obedient to any reclusive clan that shows her favor.

What he needs to do is very simple.

Step into the courtyard, take this woman away, and kill anyone who tries to stop you.

"Where did this scoundrel come from? Instead of guarding the house properly, it tries to bite people as soon as it comes out!"

Chen Xuan sat quietly under the eaves, the moonlight falling on his shoulders, his expression calm and undisturbed.

Old Xu's eyes darkened: "Boy, do you know what you're saying?"

"I am perfectly sober."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, "It's some people who insist on courting death. And if they're going to die, they can't even pick a good place."

"Okay, okay!"

Old Xu laughed in fury, "Even if you are one of Ling Xiao's men, if you dare to stop me, I will kill you today."

In his heart, he had already decided that the young man in front of him was the one sent by Ling Xiao to stop him.

This is a perfect opportunity to let Ling Xiao see the true strength of the Xu family...

However, the next moment, when he stepped into the courtyard, everything in his field of vision disappeared, leaving only a vast expanse of white.

Only the young man before him, dressed in flowing white robes, walked slowly toward him with his hands behind his back.

"What's going on?"

Old Xu's face was ashen. "You actually know soul-based magic?"

That's right, the scene before us is definitely a divine soul technique.

"What kind of soul magic? I've never learned it, I don't understand it."

Chen Xuan approached the old man with an indifferent tone.

Everyone thought that he had mastered all the magic arts in the world, which was why he was invincible. But they didn't know that he had never practiced any magic arts or supernatural powers since the beginning of his cultivation.

All their actions and deeds stemmed from the principles of Taoism in the human world.

The reason for isolating the space was simply to prevent the old man from dirtying the courtyard.

"So what if you know soul magic!"

"The Xu family's proudest skill lies in soul manipulation; you're just showing off your limited knowledge before an expert!"

Old Master Xu's eyes were cold and deep as he directly activated the Xu family's Soul-Suppressing Technique!

An invisible mental storm suddenly swept out and enveloped the person.

If an ordinary cultivator were to be struck by this technique, their sea of ​​consciousness would first experience excruciating pain, then their entire body would stiffen, and finally they would collapse to their knees.

however.

The moment the oppressive aura descended, Chen Xuan's surroundings became calm and still.

The overwhelming divine pressure, powerful enough to suppress an entire city, vanished instantly upon touching this person, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

Old Xu's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and he blurted out, "What realm are you at?!"

The only drawback of the Soul Suppression Technique is that it cannot be used on people whose cultivation level is higher than one's own.

"I can't remember."

Chen Xuan responded calmly, extending his palm and pressing it down into the void.

boom!

A massive storm erupted in the entire white void, like a monstrous wave crashing down from above and slamming into this old home.

The moment they made contact, he was pressed down by the void, his body spread out in a starfish shape, lying on the ground unable to move.

"You...I..."

Old Xu's eyes widened in utter terror; he felt an immense gap between himself and this man.

The difference between their souls was like the difference between the brilliance of a grain of rice and the brilliance of the moon; he appeared utterly insignificant.

"Don't speak, just die in peace."

A single sentence sealed his fate.

boom!

The overwhelming pressure condensed once more, like Mount Tai pressing down, directly suppressing Elder Xu.

puff!

Blood splattered everywhere, bones shattered, and he let out inhuman screams that lasted for a minute until his entire body turned into a bloody pulp before finally ceasing.

What half-step Golden Core, what powerful physique, all crushed into powder.

Just then, Lin Xiaoman arrived, panting heavily. From a distance, she shouted, "Lu Yao, hide quickly! Someone is trying to harm you!"

She witnessed with her own eyes how Old Xu's rainbow light descended upon this place.

"Huh, where did everyone go?"

Seeing the empty courtyard outside, she slammed on the brakes and barely came to a stop.

"They're everywhere."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, conjuring a gust of wind that carried a pile of ashes into the distance.

"what?"

Lin Xiaoman's blank expression was exactly the same as Lu Yao's, no wonder the two became good friends so quickly.

Then, amidst the ashes, she sensed the lingering presence of Old Xu, which startled her so much that she stumbled and fell.

"This...this...so fast?"

"He turned to ashes in less than five minutes?"

Chen Xuan: "Hmm."

hiss……

Lin Xiaoman gasped.

What a ruthless man.

But I like it so much.

"Lin Xiaoman, how are things on your end?" Ye Li's voice came from the communication jade slip.

Xu Lao's act of flying through the air was already a big move within Qingcheng, startling many people.

Lin Xiaoman: "The result is ideal."

Ye Li, without any suspicion, asked, "Chen Xuan used the Tai Xuan Sword to kill Steward Xu?"

Lin Xiaoman glanced at the Tai Xuan Sword gathering dust in the corner and murmured, "Sister Li, it seems we were all wrong. The one who is strong is not the Tai Xuan Sword, but Chen Xuan himself."

"After he woke up, he indeed didn't cultivate, and his cultivation level didn't recover..."

"But he really just casually squeezed him and turned Butler Xu into ashes."

"Don't ask yet, I need some peace and quiet..."

"I'd love to know how he did it too!"

On the other side, Chen Xuan didn't bother to figure out who Jingjing was, but instead picked up the communication jade slip that had fallen from Steward Xu's body.

now.

A young man's voice came from inside.

"Steward Xu, is everything going smoothly? Ling Xiao has been alerted. To avoid any unforeseen complications, please come to the East Gate as soon as possible."

"Butler Xu, why haven't you answered yet?"

"Has something unusual happened?"

"Return immediately!"

At this moment, Xu Jingchen's voice already revealed a hint of anxiety.

Picking up the communication jade slip, Chen Xuan replied, "Wait, the Anomaly is coming to kill you."

There was a brief moment of panic on the other end, but they quickly regained their composure and shouted sternly, "Who are you? Where is Old Master Xu now?!"

"Based on the wind speed just now, and calculating the time, he should have drifted to your location by now."

Then.

Chen Xuan ignored the reprimand in the jade slip and looked up towards the direction of the East Gate.

next moment.

He took a step forward, his figure disappearing from the spot. The distance on the ground kept shrinking, and the things on both sides of him rushed past like fleeting shadows.

Shrinking the earth to a foot.

Enough to catch up with the terrified mouse in an instant.
