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

Witch Nine's slightly hunched body abruptly stiffened upon hearing Li Chengxing's humiliating words.

Slowly, Witch Nine raised his eyes, staring intently at Li Chengxing, his eyes blazing with fury.

After a moment, Witch Nine gritted his teeth, squeezing out a few words from between them: "Li Chengxing, you!"

That scoundrel, Li Chengxing, was actually humiliating him so mercilessly.

This was not merely a personal offense; it was a blatant trampling of the Witch family's dignity, showing no regard whatsoever.

He had, after all, explained his purpose to Li Chengxing.

He was carrying the mandate of the Witch family's ancestor, representing the Witch family in search of Lu Xuan.

Li Chengxing seemed oblivious to Witch Nine's seething anger, his expression filled with disdain, not taking it seriously at all.

A mere Witch family Supreme Elder, an Outer Core Grandmaster at the peak of his power, was not qualified to lecture him.

As for the Witch family's reputation, Li Chengxing cared even less; their Li family had no fear of the Witch family's power.

Li Chengxing leisurely placed his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, his gaze fixed on Witch Nine.

It was as if Witch Nine was nothing more than an insignificant, annoying fly.

Then, Li Chengxing's lips slightly parted, and he spoke with utter indifference.

"Witch Nine, this Director does not have so much time to waste, quickly leave this Director's presence."

"Otherwise, even if you are from the Witch family, this Director will still be impolite to you."

At that moment, in Witch Nine's sunken eye sockets, a thick, almost overflowing killing intent suddenly flashed.

That killing intent, wrapped in the Gang Yuan within Witch Nine's body, swept out like a will-o'-the-wisp in the cold night, eerie and terrifying.

But just as this killing intent appeared, Witch Nine caught a glimpse of his surroundings.

The Xuan Bird Guards, encircling him like an iron barrel, caused his fierce killing intent to quickly dissipate and return to normal.

Good!

Li Chengxing, you are ruthless!

I'll endure it!

Witch Nine was well aware that this was not the Witch family's territory, but the headquarters of the Great Xia Dynasty's Xuan Bird Guards.

Even as a member of the Eight Great Families, Witch Nine would never dare to act recklessly or fight openly in front of the Xuan Bird Guard headquarters in Tian Du.

Such an irrational act would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.

Of course, there was an even more crucial factor.

That was that the Li Chengxing before him also came from the Li family, one of the Eight Great Families.

Although Li Chengxing looked as old as him, Li Chengxing was actually more than two hundred years younger.

Most importantly, Li Chengxing's martial arts realm far surpassed his own.

The difference in strength between the two made Witch Nine feel a sense of powerlessness.

In the final analysis, it was just a simple and clear statement.

He, Witch Nine, simply could not defeat Li Chengxing before him.

At this moment, Witch Nine's heart was filled with resentment; since stepping out of the Witch family's gates these days.

He seemed to have had the worst luck, constantly being humiliated by martial arts juniors.

Especially that little bastard; just thinking of him made Witch Nine's lungs about to explode with anger.

Who else could that little bastard be but Lu Xuan?

Lu Xuan's name was like a sharp thorn, deeply embedded in Witch Nine's heart.

Every time he thought of it, his hatred would increase by several points.

"Li Chengxing, I will not argue with you for now!"

Witch Nine shouted, suppressing his anger, the dense wrinkles on his face tightening with rage.

"Quickly let Lu Xuan come out to see me!"

"I am representing the Witch family, and I want to have a good discussion with him!"

Li Chengxing stood in front of Witch Nine, and upon hearing this, his brows instantly furrowed into a "川" shape.

In the next moment, the thick Gang Yuan within Li Chengxing's body began to circulate quietly.

The terrifying aura around him, like a surging undercurrent, churned violently.

In an instant, a horrifying aura swept out from Li Chengxing's body.

The surrounding invisible air was slightly distorted by this powerful aura.

Everyone's clothes fluttered in an inexplicable strong wind.

Witch Nine also noticed Li Chengxing's movements at this time, his heart tightened, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Li Chengxing, have you thought it through carefully!"

"If I can't see Lu Xuan this time, the next one to come will be the Witch family's ancestor!

Witch Nine roared, taking a step forward, his old face livid, his eyes wide, staring intently at Li Chengxing.

The Witch family's ancestor wants to find Old Lu in person?

Li Chengxing's originally poised and ready-to-attack aura instantly seemed to have been put on pause, stagnating.

At the same time, Li Chengxing's heart could not help but be filled with suspicion, secretly pondering.

If the Witch family's ancestor wanted to find him, Li Chengxing, it would be fine.

But if the Witch family's ancestor really found Old Lu, then things would be troublesome.

Although Old Lu has the strength of a Yuan Shen True Person, the Witch family's ancestor is a complete old monster, who has lived for who knows how many years.

What if…

The more Li Chengxing thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was a bit tricky, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Should he…

The thoughts in Li Chengxing's mind raced, and countless pros and cons were weighed in his heart.

Forget it!

He should ask Old Lu's opinion first, after all, this matter is of great importance, and Li Chengxing doesn't want to see Old Lu encounter trouble.

Hmph!

Witch family ancestor?

Old Lu is our Li family's ally, if the Witch family wants to touch him, they must first pass our Li family's test.

As early as when Lu Xuan was in Bai Dao Prefecture, An Zhou, Southern Region, the Li family's ancestor had already ordered Li Chengxing.

He could use all the Li family's power to form an alliance with Lu Xuan.

Even when necessary, Li Chengxing could enter the ancestral shrine forbidden area and personally ask the Li family's ancestor to take action.

Once Li Chengxing made up his mind, he no longer hesitated, and the originally agitated Gang Yuan instantly returned to calm.

And the terrifying aura around Li Chengxing also dissipated.

Li Chengxing glanced at Witch Nine out of the corner of his eye, his expression stern, and ordered the Xuan Bird Guards beside him.

"You few, watch him leave!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Chengxing's figure flashed and disappeared like a ghost, leaving only a sentence echoing in the air.

"Witch Nine, leave this Director's presence immediately!"

Seeing this, Witch Nine's old face, which was livid with anger, finally slowly pulled out a sinister smile.

His gaze, like a poisonous snake, stared intently at the direction Li Chengxing left, as if to burn a hole in that back.

Hmph!

That little ghost, Lu Xuan, although his martial arts talent is monstrous, in front of the Witch family's ancestor, he is still like an ant that can be crushed at will.

Thinking that he had the ancestor to support him, the sinister smile on Witch Nine's old face spread across his wrinkled face, appearing particularly ferocious and terrifying.

Damn juniors, dare to snatch my Moon Chasing Staff!

Witch Nine finally glanced deeply at the Xuan Bird Guards who were waiting in full battle, his eyes mixed with resentment and greed.

Those damn bastards from the Li family are deeply appreciated by that one, and have an important position in this Xuan Bird Guard.

And his family has gone through all kinds of hardships to barely obtain two Earth-level Xuan Bird Guard positions, and some unimportant Xuan Bird Guard Xuan Envoys.

These positions are simply not comparable to Li Chengxing, this high-ranking Xuan Bird Guard Deputy Director.

Immediately, Witch Nine slowly turned around, his back slightly hunched, his steps slow, and he staggered away along the way he came.

As Witch Nine walked, he was already sure that he could see Lu Xuan, so he had no worries now.

In his opinion, no matter how powerful Lu Xuan was, he could not compete with the Witch family, which had a profound foundation.

Witch Nine firmly believed that Lu Xuan was a smart man.

Even if Lu Xuan had the ability to reach the sky, like a true dragon in the world.

He would have to lie obediently in front of the Witch family's mountain, and dare not act rashly.

After all, in the face of absolute strength, any struggle is futile.

On the other side, after Li Chengxing entered the depths of the Xuan Bird Guard hall, he walked straight to one side and sat down on a chair.

As soon as Li Chengxing sat down, he had no intention of stopping for a moment.

He deftly reached into his arms and quickly took out the identity token symbolizing the Deputy Director of the Xuan Bird Guard.

The crimson crystal token shone with a dazzling red luster under the dim light of the hall.

Because, a few hours ago, Lu Xuan had transmitted a message to him, saying that he would leave Tian Du for a period of time.

Therefore, Li Chengxing took out the psychic red crystal token as soon as possible, and transmitted a message to Lu Xuan through the red crystal token.

Above the border of the Central Region, the sky was vast and boundless, and the clouds surged like waves.

And Lu Xuan, who had left Tian Du, stood between these boundless clouds.

The void under Lu Xuan's feet was like solid ground, allowing him to move forward steadily and with ease.

Every step he took, seemingly light and ordinary, silently stirred up ripples of time and space.

In an instant, the scenery around Lu Xuan changed rapidly, and the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas abandoned under the clouds passed by like ghostly phantoms.

"Is it Old Li?"

Lu Xuan's heart moved suddenly, as if he had sensed something.

In the next moment, in front of Lu Xuan's chest, a red rainbow light shot out like lightning, so fast that even the naked eye could barely catch it.

Then, under the control of Lu Xuan's Yuan Shen power, the red rainbow light slowly condensed and changed in the air.

In the blink of an eye, an extremely blurred white phantom appeared out of thin air, reflected in the layers of clouds.

This blurred humanoid phantom, his outline gradually became clear, his facial features distinct, and it was actually Li Chengxing.

At this moment, Li Chengxing's phantom was suspended quietly in front of Lu Xuan, as if breaking through the boundaries of space and instantly shortening the distance between the two.

Li Chengxing's expression was solemn, his brows furrowed, and when he saw Lu Xuan, he had no intention of exchanging pleasantries, and spoke directly, his voice low and urgent.

"Old Lu, someone from the Witch family wants to see you!"

Li Chengxing's short words were like a heavy hammer, knocking on this seemingly calm cloud.

Witch family?

Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with a fleeting surprise when he heard this, and his originally calm eyes instantly rippled.

Why would the Witch family come to him at this time?

This news came somewhat suddenly, making Lu Xuan feel caught off guard for a moment.

"Old Lu, have you ever formed a grudge with someone from the Witch family?"

"If this is the case, Old Lu, please rest assured that our Li family will definitely support you with all our strength."

"Their Witch family is not qualified to touch our Li family's allies."

Lu Xuan turned a deaf ear to the second half of Li Chengxing's words, his thoughts were like a wild horse, all focused on the person from the Witch family.

Lu Xuan's mind quickly screened through faces, and finally settled on a purple-robed old man.

"Could it be him?"

Until now, Lu Xuan had only met three people from the Witch family.

Two of them were completely turned into ashes by his attack.

There was also a purple-robed old man, who seemed to have a mysterious and unpredictable regenerative ability, and escaped under his nose.

Lu Xuan remembered that he learned from An Wang's maid Chen Luomeng that he seemed to be called something.

Witch Nine!

Interesting, could it be that this Witch Nine still has the guts to come before him?

He had always wanted to refine this bronze cane in his hand into system points.

Lu Xuan remained calm, his eyes fixed on Li Chengxing's white phantom, and slowly asked with some certainty.

"Old Li, is the person from the Witch family who wants to see me called Witch Nine?"

When Li Chengxing heard Lu Xuan's question, he did not hesitate at all, and had no intention of delving into why Lu Xuan knew, and blurted out: "Yes!"

Such a clean and neat word made the corners of Lu Xuan's mouth uncontrollably rise slightly, revealing a meaningful arc.

He murmured softly: "Interesting!"

Lu Xuan pondered for a while, thinking about what medicine was being sold in the Witch family's gourd, and dared to send Witch Nine to see him.

After a long while, Lu Xuan decided to meet this Witch Nine to see what the Witch family, one of the Eight Great Families, was plotting.

"Let him come to Wentai Prefecture in the Eastern Region, I will be waiting for him in Mingxin Prefecture!"

……….

One day later!

Wentai Prefecture, Eastern Region, Mingxin Prefecture City!

In the prefecture city, there is a mansion, which looks vast and magnificent from a distance, showing luxury and majesty.

Deep in the mansion, a quiet courtyard is like a paradise, isolating the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

Inside the main room of the courtyard, a man who looks about thirty years old has a handsome face.

His temperament is gentle, and his every move shows an elegant temperament, a perfect gentleman.

However, the resentful words he uttered at this moment were far from his gentlemanly appearance.

"That damn woman, she died when she died."

"A mere lowly maid, she dared to disobey my will."

"And you wanted to take my life for that lowly maid, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The line of sight shifted to the bed in front of the man, and a blurred figure came into view.

The woman was wearing a beautiful dress, the material was superior, and the embroidery was exquisite, shimmering with a soft luster in the candlelight.

But at this moment, her breath was weak, and her delicate body trembled slightly, like a dying candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.
