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

The instant Mu Yun saw Lu Xuan, his reaction was even faster than Li Chengxing. His old face, etched with the marks of time, instantly filled with an enthusiastic, almost ingratiating smile.

Ignoring Li Chengxing beside him, Mu Yun quickly stepped forward and greeted Lu Xuan, even changing his address from Master Lu to Old Lu.

"It's Old Lu!"

Li Chengxing, seeing this, was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes widened. He hurriedly followed behind Mu Yun, loudly responding to Lu Xuan.

"It's Old Lu, we've been waiting for you!"

The Xuan Bird Guards stationed on both sides of the gate, witnessing this scene, were so astonished that their eyes widened into perfect circles, their gazes focused on Lu Xuan.

Those who didn't know the situation thought that these two esteemed Deputy Masters, Mu Yun and Li Chengxing, had an extraordinary and extremely deep relationship with Lu Xuan.

Even Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel incredibly surprised. This Master Mu's enthusiasm seemed a little too excessive.

Of course, what made these Xuan Bird Guards even more puzzled and curious was, what was the identity of this seemingly young and extraordinary man?

A member of a noble family?

A disciple of a great sect?

Or perhaps, a member of the royal family?

"Old Lu, once you're here, don't be polite with us!" Li Chengxing said with a smile, his tone full of enthusiasm.

"Yes, Old Lu, please come in quickly!"

Mu Yun also hurriedly chimed in, his smile as bright as the warm spring sun.

He, Mu Yun, was determined to latch onto Lu Xuan's coattails today, and no one could stop him.

Li Chengxing and Mu Yun stood to Lu Xuan's left and right, their bodies slightly leaning forward, their postures respectful.

At the same time, they gestured "please" with their hands, their eyes full of eagerness, signaling Lu Xuan to go inside.

This scene was simply shocking, like a thunderclap exploding over everyone's heads.

The Xuan Bird Guards, who were originally standing stiffly to the side, had their eyes as wide as copper bells, their mouths gaping open, their jaws almost dropping to the ground, their faces filled with disbelief.

Lu Xuan, seeing this, didn't say much, but simply nodded slightly to Mu Yun and Li Chengxing.

Just as Lu Xuan was about to lift his foot, he stopped without warning, as if he had sensed something unusual in the distance behind him.

However, this abrupt and strange action was like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of Li Chengxing and Mu Yun.

They were full of suspicion and their faces were filled with confusion, but in the end, they restrained their curiosity and didn't ask any questions.

Lu Xuan stood with his hands leisurely behind his back, his expression calm and steady, his figure as upright as a pine tree, not turning his head, but simply standing still in place.

Strange, why did that old guy in the palace suddenly come looking for him?

Could it be that the Empress had more instructions to give?

Or was this old eunuch trying to avenge the eunuch he had killed?

Just as Lu Xuan was pondering, time passed quickly. In the distant sky, a ghostly afterimage appeared before everyone's eyes.

This afterimage, like an arrow released from a bow, instantly pierced through the thick clouds, swooping down towards the gate of the Xuan Bird Guard headquarters.

In the blink of an eye, the afterimage steadily hovered in mid-air, slowly landing on the open ground.

This unannounced change startled Mu Yun and Li Chengxing, causing them to tremble. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with caution and dread.

Because the speed of the newcomer was simply beyond their imagination.

What terrifying speed!

Even they, who stood at the pinnacle of martial arts grandmasters, hadn't noticed his presence at first.

Unlike Li Chengxing and Mu Yun, the Xuan Bird Guards on both sides of the gate seemed to be moved by the same string when they saw this scene.

They all acted with tacit understanding, lining up neatly in a row.

Each of them had sharp eyes, intently staring at the rapidly approaching uninvited guest.

At the same time, their right hands uniformly rested on the hilt of their swords, ready to draw their weapons at any moment.

This is!

Mu Yun and Li Chengxing focused their eyes to clearly see the newcomer's face, and their raised hearts suddenly relaxed.

The tense emotions that had been so tightly wound up instantly dissipated without a trace.

So, that's who it was?

It turned out to be that old monster from the deep palace!

Moreover, the only person who could make this old monster leave the palace was His Majesty.

Chief Eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau, Leng Yuanjun!

A powerful existence at the Lesser Accomplishment stage of the Divine Mansion Realm, with one foot already in the Greater Accomplishment stage.

Leng Yuanjun's footsteps landed, steadily standing behind Lu Xuan, his hands seemingly holding rare treasures, carefully holding a roll of Xuan black tube.

On the scroll, a black Xuan Bird pattern was faintly visible, as if spreading its wings to fly in the clouds, the embroidery was meticulous and flawless.

In the next moment, Leng Yuanjun bowed slightly, his tone sounding very respectful

"Master Lu, have you been well since we last met."

"I didn't expect that after our farewell in the palace, I would have the honor to see Master Lu's demeanor again!"

Leng Yuanjun, as the Grand Eunuch of the Imperial Palace and an existence in the Divine Mansion Realm, was acting so proactively and enthusiastically, so Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't refuse him outright.

In the next second, Lu Xuan slowly lowered his hands behind his back, his movements unhurried.

Then, Lu Xuan turned around calmly, looking directly at Leng Yuanjun, and said softly.

"So it is Grand Eunuch's personal visit, Lu was negligent and failed to welcome you properly."

"But, I wonder why Grand Eunuch has come out of the palace to specifically look for Lu?"

Lu Xuan glanced at the Xuan black scroll in Leng Yuanjun's hands, without leaving a trace, or rather, at the Xuan black scroll he was holding.

Besides that one's things, what else could make Leng Yuanjun have such a careful attitude?

Lu Xuan instantly understood in his heart.

If he was not mistaken, it was indeed that Empress who had something she wanted to tell him.

However, even though Lu Xuan had guessed the answer, his face remained calm and did not reveal what he was thinking in his heart at all.

"Master Lu!"

Leng Yuanjun's face was full of a flattering smile, his voice high-pitched and raised, "I have come with great news to tell you!"

As he spoke, Leng Yuanjun also cupped his fist in a flattering manner, "I will congratulate Master Lu in advance!"

Leng Yuanjun's voice had not yet faded, but the face that had been full of smiles a moment ago instantly became extremely serious, as if a cold winter had suddenly arrived.

That murderous aura quickly spread out, sweeping across everything around, as if it could condense the surrounding invisible air.

In an instant, the expression on Leng Yuanjun's face became stern, and he steadily raised the Xuan black scroll over his head with both hands.

Leng Yuanjun's movements were heavy and slow, as if he was bearing endless weight.

At this moment, his face was full of seriousness and solemnity, and he slowly unfolded the Xuan black scroll in front of everyone.

He raised his head slightly, his expression incomparably solemn, and pronounced each word clearly and powerfully.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

"Lu Xuan, receive the decree!"

Li Chengxing's reaction was extremely quick after Leng Yuanjun said these words.

Without hesitation, he knelt down on one knee with a "thump".

Li Chengxing's decisive action seemed to show that he had no doubt about the authenticity of the decree in Leng Yuanjun's hands.

Because Leng Yuanjun was the Grand Eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and he would never dare to falsely transmit an imperial edict.

Mu Yun also thought the same as Li Chengxing, and knelt down on one knee without hesitation, his movements neat and tidy.

With Mu Yun and Li Chengxing, the two Xuan Bird Guard Masters, taking the lead, the other Xuan Bird Guards had no hesitation.

They instantly knelt down on one knee in unison, their heads lowered in unison.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze, instantly enveloped in solemnity and solemnity.

The outside of the Xuan Bird Guard headquarters gate was strangely quiet, as if time had stopped.

At this time, even if a needle fell to the ground, that subtle sound could probably be heard clearly.

Unlike the others who knelt down on one knee behind him, Lu Xuan stood upright in place.

Lu Xuan raised his hands slightly and cupped his fist lightly towards the imperial edict in Leng Yuanjun's hands.

"This humble subject receives the decree!"

As a martial artist in the Divine Mansion Realm, there was no need to perform the ceremony of kneeling on one knee in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Leng Yuanjun's eyes were like torches, quickly scanning the surroundings, and after seeing that everything was ready.

He then cleared his throat, his eyes fixed on the imperial edict in his hand, and then slowly began to speak.

"By the Emperor's decree, proclaim to the world." Leng Yuanjun began to raise his voice, his voice high-pitched but clear, with an unquestionable majesty.

"Appoint Lu Xuan as the Deputy Master of the Xuan Bird Guard, and specially bestow the Purple Extreme Xuan Bird Robe, and the Seven-Pattern Moon Weapon Netherflame Underworld Blade!"

After saying this, Leng Yuanjun began to drag out the end of his voice, and said loudly.

"By imperial decree!"

Leng Yuanjun's seemingly simple few words were like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves in everyone's hearts.

The emotions of everyone at the scene were shocked by this shocking news, but only Lu Xuan's face remained calm.

Lu Xuan cupped his fist slowly towards the Xuan black imperial edict, his voice clear and peaceful.

"This humble subject receives the decree, thank you for the Emperor's grace!"

Seeing this, Leng Yuanjun quickly became agile and hurriedly rolled up the Xuan black scroll in his hand.

The pace of his feet looked very urgent, almost taking two steps in one, quickly approaching Lu Xuan.

In the next instant, Leng Yuanjun's originally dry and thin face, covered with wrinkles and gullies.

Instantly bloomed with a rich smile, the wrinkles seemed to hide enthusiasm and flattery.

Good fellow!

I really underestimated this Master Lu!

That damn Luo family almost made me offend such a great god.

Judging from the imperial edict given by His Majesty, even a fool could see it.

His Majesty attaches great importance to this Lu Xuan.

No one had expected that His Majesty would even give him the Purple Extreme Xuan Bird Robe as an exception.

The Purple Extreme Xuan Bird Robe is a symbol of status!

That Seven-Pattern Moon Weapon Netherflame Underworld Blade is even slightly inferior to this Purple Extreme Xuan Bird Robe.

Because, in the Xuan Bird Guard of the Great Xia Dynasty, there is only one person who has this Purple Extreme Xuan Bird Robe.

That person is the Master of the Xuan Bird Guard, Zi Yao!

And from this moment on, this long-standing practice has finally changed.

Lu Xuan is the only person in the nearly two thousand years since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty who has obtained the Purple Extreme Xuan Bird Robe as the Deputy Master of the Xuan Bird Guard.

This is also the reason why Leng Yuanjun has become so humble and flattering.

Because, from the moment Lu Xuan obtained the Purple Extreme Xuan Bird Robe, his status as the Grand Eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau was far inferior to Lu Xuan's noble status.

Not only is his status inferior, but even his martial arts strength cannot be compared with Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan's eyes stared at the imperial edict held in Leng Yuanjun's hands, and then slowly stretched out his hand and steadily took it over.

The moment Lu Xuan steadily took over the imperial edict with both hands, the people who were originally kneeling on one knee behind him stood up at this moment.

However, after standing up, the expressions on their faces were exaggerated and strange, and their eyes seemed to be nailed, staring at Lu Xuan's back.

The shock in their hearts at this moment was really difficult to describe in suitable words.

"Master Lu, these two are the things that His Majesty has bestowed upon you."

Seeing Lu Xuan take the imperial edict, Leng Yuanjun waved his right hand gently, and two Xuan black wooden boxes floated out from behind him.

One was square, with distinct edges and corners, and the other was rectangular, with smooth lines.

The two Xuan black wooden boxes had been steadily controlled by Leng Yuanjun's divine power.

From beginning to end, they followed him like a shadow, quietly floating behind him all the way, never leaving him.

"Master Lu, since His Majesty's decree has been delivered, then I will not disturb you."

As soon as Leng Yuanjun's voice fell, he did not delay, and his figure flashed like a ghost.

Instantly turned into a blurred rainbow, directly breaking through the heavy clouds, and disappeared into the distant sky in the blink of an eye.

"The Seven-Pattern Moon Weapon Netherflame Underworld Blade?"

"It's really a good thing!"

Lu Xuan's eyes had been staring at the rectangular wooden box, without looking at the other wooden box.

Unlike Leng Yuanjun's thoughts, Lu Xuan was most concerned about the Netherflame Underworld Blade, this Seven-Pattern Moon-level sacrificial weapon.

As for the Purple Extreme Xuan Bird Robe, which symbolizes status, Lu Xuan turned a deaf ear to it and had no interest in it at all.

This good knife has come at just the right time!

Lu Xuan slowly raised his right hand, his movements very gentle, slowly stroking the rectangular box floating in front of him.

When Lu Xuan's fingertips rubbed against the surface of the box, there seemed to be two clusters of flames burning in his eyes, which was an undisguised fiery desire.

With this Netherflame Underworld Blade, his strength will once again be greatly improved.

Deep inside the Xuan Bird Guard headquarters!

In a heavily guarded courtyard, Lu Xuan sat cross-legged in the room.

In front of him, there was a Xuan black crystal box floating.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Divine Mansion True Person (Lesser Accomplishment)

Cultivation Method: Sky Burning Blade Technique 4/9, Horizon Within Reach 1/9, Undying and Unbreakable 4/9

Points: 32660

"Cave Heaven Spiritual Object, Black Spirit Wood?"

Lu Xuan was genuinely curious about just how many system points this item, which surpassed even the highest grade of natural treasures, could bring him.

According to that Empress, this blessed grotto object also contained a trace of the power of law.
