They were accused of abusing their power for personal punishment, executing court officials without trial, and even hiring assassins to murder Luo Jinghe and his entire family.
At this point, Luo Jin was going all out, listing every charge he could think of.
As long as he could cause trouble for that White Path Prefecture Black Raven Guard, Luo Jin would be satisfied.
Meanwhile, after refining the prepared low-grade natural spiritual materials, Lu Xuan left the training hall.
As he had expected, the energy consumed in deducing the Indestructible Vajra Body Tempering Technique was indeed greater than that used for the other two martial arts techniques.
Not a single trace of spiritual energy remained from those two portions of low-grade natural spiritual materials; it was all absorbed by Lu Xuan’s body.
No points were added on the system panel.
However, this was perfectly normal, and Lu Xuan didn’t react much.
After all, Lu Xuan had performed four deductions of the Indestructible Vajra Body Tempering Technique in one go.
He felt that the physical energy consumed from these four deductions was even greater than what he had expended during his trip to Qingyun County.
Not long after, Lu Xuan summoned He Yan, as he still had some minor troubles to resolve.
He wouldn’t feel at ease handling other matters without clearing up those minor issues.
“Deputy Commander He Yan, I will personally go to Qingling Prefecture. Prepare the route map for me.”
“Huh?”
He Yan looked at Lu Xuan in stunned confusion, as if shocked by his words.
What is a Black Raven Guard Commander from White Path Prefecture going to Qingling Prefecture for?
And could your purpose for going to Qingling Prefecture be any more obvious?
Do you really not need to conceal such a matter at all?
He Yan had long understood Lu Xuan’s character thoroughly.
At this moment, if Lu Xuan suddenly left White Path Prefecture for Qingling Prefecture, there could only be one purpose.
It was definitely related to that Luo Family.
It’s just unclear whether Lu Xuan intends to seek reconciliation with that Luo Family or do something else…
“Commander, you are…”
“I have some minor matters to settle. Deputy Commander He need not worry.”
“How many days is the journey from White Path Prefecture to Qingling Prefecture?”
He Yan’s words of dissuasion, which were about to come out, were suddenly forced back by Lu Xuan.
“Reporting to the Commander, Qingling Prefecture is located at the center of An Prefecture, separated from White Path Prefecture by just Jingtai Prefecture.”
“Therefore, traveling at the speed of a Divine Wind Steed, it should only take three to four days to reach Qingling Prefecture.”
“Excellent. It seems that is sufficient time.”
Lu Xuan estimated the schedule. Barring any unforeseen circumstances.
He should be able to return to White Path Prefecture within six or seven days after handling those minor troubles.
That way, he could preside over the White Raven Guard martial arts competition in the prefectural city on time.
“Good. I will have someone prepare the Divine Wind Steed first.”
“Commander, please be careful in all matters.”
“I have heard that Prince An’s martial arts cultivation is unfathomably deep.”
“Seven years ago, Prince An had already reached the Great Completion stage of the External Aura Grandmaster realm.
What level Prince An’s martial arts has reached now is completely unknown to anyone.”
As he was leaving, He Yan slightly raised his head, looked meaningfully at Lu Xuan, and said something rather cryptic.
At this moment, no one was more concerned about Lu Xuan’s safety than He Yan.
There was no helping it; He Yan was helpless. Who asked him to board Lu Xuan’s pirate ship?
He could only follow this path to the end, standing firmly on Lu Xuan’s side.
In the entire An Prefecture, who could be more famous now than him, the Deputy Commander of the White Path Prefecture Black Raven Guard?
Who doesn’t know that He Yan openly eliminated the Luo Family’s next head of household?
The current Luo Family head, that old fellow Luo Jin, is not someone easy to get along with.
He Yan thought, if it weren’t for the Black Raven Guard identity he still wore.
That old fellow Luo Jin would probably have come to kill him by now.
And Lu Xuan was now He Yan’s only lifeline. He really didn’t want anything to happen to Lu Xuan.
Otherwise, without Lu Xuan’s protection, He Yan dared not imagine what that old ghost Luo Jin might do.
After all, Luo Family head Luo Jin, that old ghost, is a martial artist at the Great Completion stage of the Internal Qi realm.
With his own strength, just having entered the Internal Qi realm, he would likely face certain death against that old ghost Luo Jin.
The saying ‘All beneath Great Completion of the Internal Qi realm are but ants’ is not just empty talk.
Lu Xuan understood He Yan’s implication. He placed his hands behind his back, appearing composed and unhurried.
“Don’t worry, Old He. I have my own sense of proportion.”
“Old He, you’ve worked hard during this time.”
“When that batch of natural spiritual materials from Tiandu arrives, I authorize a portion of mid-grade natural spiritual materials specifically for you.”
He Yan’s performance during this period had pleased Lu Xuan greatly, so Lu Xuan naturally wouldn’t treat him unfairly.
If you want the horse to run, you must let it eat and drink its fill.
Lu Xuan intended to allocate a portion of mid-grade natural spiritual materials as a reward for He Yan.
Sure enough, upon hearing it was a portion of mid-grade natural spiritual materials.
The tension on He Yan’s originally somewhat anxious face immediately relaxed.
“The Commander speaks too kindly. Serving the Commander is my duty.”
“Commander, I will go and have someone prepare the Divine Wind Steed now.”
After He Yan left, a slight ripple appeared on Lu Xuan’s normally impassive face.
Some important information within He Yan’s words had made Lu Xuan more cautious.
“Already at the Great Completion stage of the External Aura Grandmaster seven years ago?”
From the looks of it, this Prince An is a very troublesome individual.
However, Lu Xuan’s purpose this time is solely for the Luo Family, not aimed at this Prince An.
Therefore, as long as Lu Xuan acts decisively, a mere Luo Family can be overturned with a turn of his hand!
Unless that Prince An is an existence at the Divine Mansion True Person level.
Otherwise, no martial artist below the Divine Mansion realm could possibly catch up to Lu Xuan, who possesses the Flowing Light movement technique.
Divine Mansion True Persons can communicate with the power of heaven and earth through divine sense, their every move carrying the might of the world.
Not only can they soar through the skies, but they can also use the power of heaven and earth to briefly congeal space.
Back in Taiping Town, the reason Lu Xuan chose to withstand the divine sense assault from that Divine Mansion level demon beast.
Was because the space Lu Xuan was in had been congealed by that Divine Mansion level demon beast’s divine sense.
Causing Lu Xuan to feel as if trapped in viscous mud, rendering his Flowing Light movement technique utterly useless.
This was also one of the reasons Lu Xuan chose to cultivate the Indestructible Vajra technique first.
The Indestructible Vajra Body Tempering Technique could give Lu Xuan a sufficiently powerful physique, adding another layer of life-saving assurance.
One day later.
On the official road in Guyang County, Jingtai Prefecture.
A lightning-fast afterimage streaked past, kicking up a cloud of dust.
This swirling, flying dust happened to sweep towards the side of the official road.
There happened to be several people also riding fast horses there—three women.
All three wore Black Raven Guard brocade robes, each with a bamboo hat and a white veil.
The black Black Raven patterns on their brocade robes looked vivid under the sunlight, as if the black birds might fly off the robes at any moment.
Among them, the leading woman wore a sapphire-blue Black Raven Guard uniform, while the other two wore white uniforms.
Meaning, this team leader’s identity was that of a Yellow Rank Black Raven Guard.
These were all Lu Xuan’s deductions, for the person who had just passed by this official road was none other than Lu Xuan, who had rushed here from White Path Prefecture.
