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

The sky wasn't completely dark yet; a last wisp of afterglow lingered on the horizon.

Dusk!

A supernatural anomaly actually appeared at this time! This scene shattered Lu Xuan's understanding!

Previously, the supernatural anomalies Lu Xuan encountered always appeared in the dead of night.

Could it be that this supernatural anomaly is stronger than the ones Lu Xuan encountered before?

In the next moment, Lu Xuan activated the inner energy within his body.

Subsequently, an unspeakable, terrifying aura swept out from Lu Xuan's body.

The air in the courtyard seemed to stagnate for a moment.

Instantly, a scorching airflow circulated, scattering the cold chill completely!

This was the terror of a martial artist who had reached the Great Accomplishment of Inner Energy Realm.

Since breaking through to the Great Accomplishment of Inner Energy, Lu Xuan had discovered that his terrifying inner energy could briefly overflow from his body.

"Shen Yuan!"

"What are you standing there for, kid!"

As the scorching inner energy within Lu Xuan was released,

everyone present felt a warm sensation, like a ray of sunlight in winter, dispelling the biting cold.

Lu Xuan's roar awakened Shen Yuan and the two maids from their fear.

"Brother Xuan, then be careful!"

At this moment, Shen Yuan also understood what that little girl was.

A strange little girl with the face of the deceased Liu Yuanwai—what else could it be but something dirty?

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Yuan quickly grabbed Lu Qingqing's small hand with one hand, and didn't forget to press down on Lu Qingqing's eyes with the other.

"Qingqing, Brother Xuan has something to do. Let's go first."

"Let's go and meet Father, and then we'll rush back with Father."

Then, Shen Yuan, ignoring Lu Qingqing's struggles, almost picked Lu Qingqing up and ran towards the courtyard gate.

The two young maids also followed Shen Yuan's footsteps and left the courtyard.

The little girl tilted her head, almost to the point where it was about to fall off, and the old face of Liu Yuanwai still wore a strange smile.

"Possession?"

Lu Xuan sensed a dense Yin energy on the little girl's body.

Originally, Lu Xuan was worried whether this Man-Faced Ghoul would appear or not.

He didn't expect to see it so soon, and in the Shen residence.

Was it so impatient?

Or was it worried about encountering those Blackbird Guards again last night?

Fortunately, he was cautious and stayed in the Shen residence.

A crisp sound of a blade rang out, accompanied by a bright silver light, shining on Lu Xuan's excited face.

Looking over, Lu Xuan was already holding a silver broadsword in his hand, dazzlingly bright in the afterglow of dusk.

At this moment, the strange little girl's small body erupted, rushing frantically towards Lu Xuan.

However, a streak of crimson light was one step faster than her, piercing through the air with unmatched scorching aura, instantly hitting the strange little girl.

Boom!

The strange little girl, wrapped in crimson flames, smashed towards the distant courtyard wall, breaking through the hard wall.

In less than a few breaths, the strange little girl was silent, completely devoured by the terrifying crimson flames, turning into nothingness.

However, Lu Xuan, seeing this scene, was not happy.

Because the strange little girl he had dealt with was not the real Man-Faced Ghoul.

But the real one...

"Is here!"

Under the perception of the heaven and earth Yuan Qi covering Lu Xuan's body, he had already sensed the hidden Yin energy behind him.

Immediately, Lu Xuan turned around abruptly, and a faceless robe-clad ghostly figure floated before him.

The pale hand that the faceless robe-clad ghostly figure had just extended suddenly froze in the air.

Even though it had no facial features, one could still see its anthropomorphic expression, seemingly not understanding how Lu Xuan had discovered it.

However, that terrifyingly pale hand only froze for a breath before reaching towards Lu Xuan's body with even greater speed.

Until that terrifyingly pale hand passed through Lu Xuan's body without any obstruction.

Lu Xuan's body was like an illusion, not existing in the real world.

Before the faceless ghostly figure could react, Lu Xuan's body gradually blurred, and then completely dissipated into the world.

Before the faceless ghostly figure could react, the air behind it instantly twisted and shimmered.

This high-temperature, scorching aura caused the Yin cold aura on the faceless ghostly figure to turn into wisps of white smoke at a visible rate, evaporating into the sky.

Just as the faceless ghoul wanted to escape, this scorching aura suppressed it firmly in place.

The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥release!

A crimson pillar of fire, even brighter than before, flashed out, illuminating the entire courtyard.

Lu Xuan stood far away from the Man-Faced Ghoul, quietly watching it being burned by the crimson flames.

And this pillar of fire also attracted the attention of many people.

Outside the Shen Residence!

Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao had already arrived outside the Shen residence in advance, preparing to familiarize themselves with the route and pay a visit to the senior from last night.

If they discovered the Man-Faced Ghoul's tracks tonight, they would immediately rush to inform that senior expert.

Behind them, followed Zeng Fan, the magistrate of Dengfeng County, who was also their introducer to the Shen residence.

"Hmm? Fire?"

Zhao Sheng and the other two stopped in their tracks, having noticed the abnormality within the Shen residence.

Now, the sky was about to darken, and red lanterns had been hung outside the gate of the Shen residence.

However, there was a bright fire inside the Shen residence, almost engulfing the entire residence.

Those who didn't know what was happening would think there was a fire inside.

But Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao immediately noticed the uniqueness of this fire.

The enchanting crimson light—wasn't that the flames they had seen last night?

Not good, this is that senior's means.

That senior is taking action again.

"Old Zhao, there seems to be an anomaly. Could it be that thing has come out?"

Qian Hao's words stunned Zhao Sheng for a moment, and then he reacted instantly.

There was still some time before dark, could it be that the Man-Faced Ghoul's strength had reached the level of a Calamity-grade ghoul?

Because only Calamity-grade supernatural anomalies can appear in broad daylight.

Although it was dusk, it was still considered daytime.

The fact that the Man-Faced Ghoul could appear at this time proved that it was not far from being a Calamity-grade ghoul.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng quickly moved towards the Shen residence, and Qian Hao quickly followed behind Zhao Sheng.

Leaving only Zeng Fan, the magistrate of Dengfeng County, messed up in the wind, not knowing what to do.

"Hey, who are you people? How dare you break into the Shen residence?"

Zhao Sheng and the other two ignored the servants guarding the gate of the Shen residence and rushed directly towards the direction of the fire.

Seeing this, Zeng Fan didn't have time to think and quickly stepped forward, blocking the servants who wanted to chase Zhao Sheng and the other two.
