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

Zi Yao quietly gazed outside the main hall, seemingly watching Lu Xuan's departure.

After a while, she slowly bent down, her posture elegant and charming, her voice soft, speaking unhurriedly.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, this Lu Xuan's martial arts aptitude is almost demonic, a talent unmatched for generations.”

“However, his actions lack the usual arrogance and self-satisfaction, and he even appears extremely cautious.”

“In my humble opinion, this Lu Xuan possesses the temperament of a peerless hero!”

“Therefore, Lu Xuan is like a double-edged sword. If Your Majesty can control him well, he will bring unexpected surprises.”

“Conversely, if not,…………”

Zi Yao didn't finish her sentence, but Empress Xia Mingyue naturally understood her implied meaning.

Hearing these words, Empress Xia Mingyue leisurely revealed a charming smile.

That smile was full of an aura of conquering the world, a sense of self-assurance that said, 'Who else but me?'

“Unexpectedly, even you, Zi Yao, think so highly of this Lu Xuan?”

Empress Xia Mingyue lightly parted her red lips, her voice like pearls falling on a jade plate, crisp and melodious, yet tinged with a hint of playfulness.

“Interesting!”

The Empress murmured, a hint of elusive meaning flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She slightly raised her head, as if asking herself, or perhaps inquiring of Zi Yao beside her.

“Surprise?”

“I really want to see just how much of a surprise this Lu Xuan can bring.”

Despite these words, Empress Xia Mingyue's tone subtly revealed a sense of nonchalance.

After all, with Lu Xuan's current strength at the small success stage of the Divine Abode Realm, in Empress Xia Mingyue's eyes,

his power was merely icing on the cake, far from being able to influence what she wanted to do.

After speaking, Empress Xia Mingyue's exquisite and moving figure once again transformed into specks of deep black light.

In the blink of an eye, Empress Xia Mingyue had already leaned lazily on the imperial throne, exuding an innate nobility and majesty.

“Zi Yao, how is the seal at the Northern Domain's Arctic Land? What did you find?”

Upon hearing this, Zi Yao's originally cold and indifferent fair face instantly showed a hint of solemnity.

She lowered her eyes and composed herself, her voice like an ancient well, without any emotion, slowly saying.

“Your Majesty, the seal at the Northern Domain's Arctic Land is just as you predicted.”

“There is indeed a mysterious force from the outer realms impacting the restrictions set by the Holy Ancestor.”

“Moreover, that force seems to know the weakness of the Holy Ancestor's restrictions.”

“I have already infused the power of the Cave Heaven Sacred Crystal into the restrictions set by the Holy Ancestor.”

“With the power of that Cave Heaven Sacred Crystal, I estimate that it can last for about a year.”

“After this time, the seal set by the Holy Ancestor will probably be completely destroyed.”

“The Great Xia Dynasty's world will eventually be exposed to the cultivators of the outer realms.”

Zi Yao's words, as if tangible, constantly echoed in the empty and silent hall.

Until Empress Xia Mingyue, leaning lazily on the imperial throne, lightly parted her red lips, completely covering up these words.

“Hmph, the weakness of the Holy Ancestor's seal?”

“Besides my good imperial brothers, who else would know these secrets?”

“The Extreme Flame Holy Gate, Sword Spirit Sect, Profound Sound Immortal Palace, and those few families, I will not let them go.”

Empress Xia Mingyue leaned on the imperial throne, her posture lazy, but exuding an innate nobility.

In the next instant, a deep and distant black light suddenly reflected in her autumn-like beautiful eyes.

Like a black hole that devoured the heavens and earth, it could devour everything in front of it.

“Back then, I was only one step away from taking the origin of the Spirit Ruins Land.”

“I didn't expect that these bastards would notice my intentions!”

Empress Xia Mingyue's voice was low and cold, her words filled with uncontrollable anger and unwillingness.

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, as if she wanted to completely crush that humiliating past.

As soon as she finished speaking, the mysterious Xuan Bird pattern at the center of Empress Xia Mingyue's brow.

As if injected with a fresh soul, suddenly began to jump and tremble.

Instantly, a deep and rich black light burst forth, extremely dazzling, as if to engulf everything around it into that endless abyss of darkness.

As the Xuan Bird pattern shone brightly, the void in front of Empress Xia Mingyue actually gradually rippled with strange ripples.

Under Zi Yao's gaze below, a Xuan Black cauldron, as huge as an adult, slowly emerged from the void.

The Xuan Black cauldron floated in mid-air, its body tightly entangled with a rich ink-like aura, the aura surging and swirling.

On the body of the cauldron, complex and intricate patterns meandered, as if integrated with the heavens and earth, or as if the order was engraved on it when the heavens and earth first opened.

Among those mysterious patterns, there were also obscure and difficult-to-understand symbols and texts, looming, they were twisted and crooked, interlinked with each other, making people feel dizzy.

“Hmph!”

“How would those bastards have thought that I had also kept a trick up my sleeve back then.”

“Little do they know that half of the origin power of the Spirit Ruins Land has already been absorbed by me into the Xuan Bird Cauldron.”

Empress Xia Mingyue lazily propped herself up, every move revealing elegance and nobility.

She slowly extended her right hand, her white fingertips gently stroking the void, the Xuan Bird Cauldron seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force.

In the next second, the cauldron body bloomed with dazzling Xuan Black light.

Immediately afterwards, a pure white liquid, like a flowing stream, trickled out from the mouth of the cauldron.

The white stream flowed lightly, without a trace of impurities, so pure that people's hearts trembled.

Then, this white stream drew a graceful arc in the air, slowly flowing towards Empress Xia Mingyue's palm.

Afterwards, the white stream leisurely swirled on her palm.

This seemingly disorganized rotation, but invisibly, exudes an amazing and vigorous aura.

Zi Yao, who had always been expressionless, like a secluded pool, without a trace of waves.

But when that white stream came into her eyes.

Her unchanging face suddenly lost its composure, and her originally calm eyes widened instantly.

It was filled with panic and shock, as if she had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

How did Her Majesty do it?

Back then, I was also there to witness everything.

Wasn't the origin power of the Spirit Ruins Land finally taken back by that wisp of remnant soul of the Earth Venerable Realm Master?

How could half of the origin power have fallen into Her Majesty's hands now?

Her Majesty actually hid it from me!

Compared to Zi Yao's shock, Empress Xia Mingyue slightly raised her snow-white chin, her eyes calm and determined.

She quietly stared at the white stream on her palm, as if this world was already under her control.

Back then, if it hadn't been for the Xuan Bird Cauldron helping her block the blow from the remnant soul of the Earth Venerable Realm Master, she would have probably died long ago.

Even so, Empress Xia Mingyue still suffered a severe backlash, so that she has been unable to free her hand to refine this half of the origin of the Spirit Ruins Land.

But now, the injuries in Empress Xia Mingyue's body have completely recovered, and she can free her hand to refine this half of the origin of the Spirit Ruins Land.

Of course, she took out the origin of the Spirit Ruins Land at this moment, just to show Zi Yao.

Accurately speaking, it was for the sect behind Zi Yao to see.

Because, the true identity of the Zi Yao in front of her is not a member of the Great Xia Dynasty, but a cultivator from the outer realms.

“Zi Yao, go back and tell your master that I will definitely do what I promised her.”

“The people of your Snow Moon Sect only need to help me eliminate the demons of the Pure Utmost Holy Church after the outer realms appear in the Great Xia Dynasty.”

Before Zi Yao could recover from her shock, she saw the black light flash on the imperial throne, and Empress Xia Mingyue had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the empty imperial throne.

“Her Majesty's strength is really becoming more and more unpredictable.” Zi Yao murmured, the color of fear in her beautiful eyes as thick as ink!

The newest novel is first published at six_9_book_bar!

She was at least a half-step Cave Void Realm martial artist, infinitely close to the Cave Void True Monarch Realm.

Unexpectedly, with her strength, she didn't even know when Her Majesty left.

Her Majesty, perhaps she had already stepped into that realm.

Zi Yao slightly raised her head, staring at the empty imperial throne for a long time.

Immediately, she pursed her cherry lips, gently raised her foot, and her graceful figure instantly turned into a bright purple light, disappearing into the void in the blink of an eye.

Leaving only wisps of spiritual energy fluctuations, slowly dissipating in the air inside the hall.

Heavenly Capital Xuan Bird Guard Headquarters!

At this moment, outside the gate of the Xuan Bird Guard Headquarters, a scene that was jaw-dropping and felt very strange was presented.

Two old men in red Xuan Bird uniforms stood upright on both sides of the headquarters gate, one on the left and one on the right.

Moreover, the old man in the red Xuan Bird uniform standing on the right looked particularly anxious.

He stretched his neck from time to time, poking his head and looking towards the distant horizon, and his feet moved unconsciously in small amplitudes, as if waiting anxiously for something.

The old man looked as if he would rush out directly in the next second.

Therefore, their strange behavior made the Xuan Bird Guards who were originally stationed on both sides of the gate look at each other in blank dismay, their hearts full of doubts.

The key point was that what shocked everyone was that these two old men were not ordinary people.

The identities of these two old men were actually the deputy commanders of the Xuan Bird Guard, the Second Deputy Commander Mu Yun, and the Third Deputy Commander Li Chengxing.

Therefore, during this period of time, everyone who entered and exited the Xuan Bird Guard headquarters felt very surprised.

It's really ghostly!

Which big shot could actually make the two deputy commanders of the Xuan Bird Guard personally stand at the door and wait.

Mu Yun, who was standing on the left, saw Li Chengxing pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, and couldn't help showing a look of helplessness.

“I say, Old Li, is the news you old fellow got reliable?”

“Don't deceive me, I have been standing here for an hour, like a monkey, showing myself to everyone who comes in and out.”

“Is that Commander Lu currently in Heavenly Capital?”

Li Chengxing heard the doubt in Mu Yun's words, and his old face suddenly turned red, then his old eyes glared, his beard cocked, and he said decisively.

“Don't worry, Old Mu, Old Lu is now in the Imperial Palace, meeting with His Majesty.”

“According to the time Old Lu entered the palace, it should be almost here now.”

“Of course, if Old Mu doesn't want to wait, then please go back first.”

“Presumably, Old Lu will not mind such a small matter.”

As soon as Li Chengxing said this, Mu Yun instantly lost his temper, and once again fell silent, quietly standing there to close his eyes and recuperate.

Leave?

That's impossible.

It is impossible to leave.

This Lu Xuan was young, but his martial arts realm surpassed himself and Li Chengxing, these old fellows, and became an existence in the Divine Abode Realm.

Mu Yun, facing such a situation, of course chose to shamelessly hug his thigh.

If it was an ordinary martial artist in the Divine Abode Realm, Mu Yun would not be so enthusiastic.

After all, he himself was also an existence in the half-step Divine Abode Realm, only one step away from the Divine Abode Realm.

However, this Lu Xuan, a martial artist in the Divine Abode Realm, was very different.

Mu Yun dared to say his inner thoughts in front of everyone.

If this Lu Xuan doesn't have any accidents in the future, then he will definitely be able to cultivate to a very high martial arts realm.

It might even be possible to cultivate to the level of the Commander.

In Mu Yun's heart, the Commander of the Xuan Bird Guard, Zi Yao, was an invincible existence.

The fact that he could compare Lu Xuan with the Commander of the Xuan Bird Guard, Zi Yao, was enough to show how much Mu Yun valued Lu Xuan.

Li Chengxing seemed to see through Mu Yun's thoughts, and his old face suddenly raised, laughing heartily.

“Hehehe!”

“Old Mu, I didn't expect that you, this old fellow who is usually silent, would actually have such thoughts one day.”

Li Chengxing's teasing made Mu Yun annoyed, and he couldn't help but despise him fiercely.

This bastard old fellow actually had the nerve to say himself?

“Hmph, same to you!”

Mu Yun tightened his face and retorted unhappily, “Old Li, you, who came from a big family, have done such a thing, how are you qualified to scold me.”

After being speechless by Mu Yun, Li Chengxing could only smile awkwardly.

Finally, Li Chengxing tried to use this slightly awkward smile to subtly cover up this topic.

“Old Li?”

“Commander Mu?”

“You two returned from Ming Prefecture so quickly?”

Before the person was seen, the voice arrived first!

It was seen that Li Chengxing and Mu Yun, after hearing these words, almost at the same time, turned their eyes to a certain void in front of them.

The void slowly rippled with slight fluctuations, and then, a faint purple glow flashed away.

Then a young and handsome man slowly stepped out of the ripples, every step carrying a natural feeling.

“Old Lu!”

“Commander Lu!”

Regarding Li Chengxing and Mu Yun's faces full of excitement, Lu Xuan's face remained unchanged, just nodded slightly in greeting.
