It wasn’t until Lu Xuan spoke that the dozen or so martial artist guards, their bodies stiff with fear, dared to move again.
Otherwise, they truly wouldn’t have dared to make a single sound.
They were terrified that this killer might decide to finish them off as well.
After all, anyone who dared to kill the head of the Luo family proved themselves to be a complete madman.
These men could already imagine the uproar that would spread throughout the entire Qingling Prefecture once the news of their master’s death got out.
No, actually, it would be the entire An Zhou!
The leading Blood Refining realm martial artist shot a fearful glance at Lu Xuan before mustering the courage to take a step forward.
“Senior, I know all the information about the Luo family. If you spare this worthless life of mine, I will take you to find them immediately!”
This guard showed not a trace of sorrow over the death of his master, Luo Jin.
That old man had never treated them well, often subjecting them to beatings and harsh reprimands!
So, for the sake of his own safety, he had no hesitation in betraying the information about Luo Jin’s descendants.
However, as soon as his words fell,
one of the dozen guards behind him, a man roughly twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, stepped forward and spoke up angrily.
“Wu Hui, you dog! How dare you betray the Luo family!”
“And you, you audacious lunatic, you dare to assassinate my uncle.”
“Prince An, the Prefectural Governor, and the imperial court will never let you get away with this!”
After berating the guard who betrayed the Luo family, the man continued to hurl insults at Lu Xuan,
presenting a picture of fearless defiance.
The guard named Wu Hui showed no change in expression upon being cursed.
Instead, he put on an obsequious smile and spoke to Lu Xuan with utmost servility.
“Senior, this man is one of Luo Jin’s cousins.”
Wu Hui’s demeanor made the man who had just cursed him immediately see red, ready to unleash another torrent of abuse.
“Wu Hui, you dog, I…”
In the next instant, the man’s head was struck by a transparent, formless streak of energy.
Boom!
His entire head exploded, transforming into a mist of blood in mid-air!
After this scene unfolded, the remaining guards were struck with terror, not daring to make a single sound.
Lu Xuan gazed at them with cold indifference and spoke in an icy tone.
“Good!”
“If you wish to live, deal with the remaining remnants of the Luo family now.”
After what they had just witnessed, these guards didn’t dare to refuse Lu Xuan’s command.
The leading Wu Hui didn’t even try to hide the murderous intent on his face, directly stating the name of his former master, Luo Jin.
“Sir, Luo Jin had two younger brothers, both at the Blood Refining realm. With our strength, I’m afraid we…”
Faced with this profound and unfathomable presence, they had no choice but to follow his orders.
After all, being servants for the Luo family only earned them a pittance of silver each year.
Now that the Luo family head, Luo Jin, was dead, there was no need for them to sacrifice their lives for the Luo family.
At worst, after today, they could simply change their names and leave Qingling Prefecture.
“Don’t worry, I will assist from the side.”
Lu Xuan’s words put Wu Hui at ease, and he gripped the sword in his hand tightly.
Immediately, Wu Hui and the remaining dozen or so guards all had fierce, ruthless killing intent flashing in their eyes.
Luo family, for the sake of my life, don’t blame me for being merciless.
Surrounded in the middle of the crowd were two men dressed in expensive, luxurious brocade robes. They were Luo Jin’s only remaining sons.
However, the two of them looked quite displeased, walking along while berating the servants beside them.
“You dogs, this young master hasn’t had enough fun yet!”
“Second Brother is right. Father is really too much.”
“Ever since Big Brother died, he’s been watching our every move.”
Outside the main hall of the Luo residence, another large group of figures appeared, heading towards the hall.
However, this group quickly stopped in their tracks because Wu Hui and the others blocked their path.
“Huh?”
“Wu Hui, why are you blocking the way with so many people?”
“Get out of this young master’s way at once!”
When Wu Hui and his men saw these two men, they all fell silent, not bothering to conceal the killing intent on their faces as they advanced towards the group.
“Wu Hui, what do you think you’re doing!”
“You have some nerve, daring to ignore this young master’s words!”
After Wu Hui and the others moved from their spot, the corpse of the man killed earlier was clearly visible on the open ground.
“Young Master, look over there!”
“There seems to be someone lying there!”
“Huh?”
Before they could take a closer look, Wu Hui and his group had already closed in.
At that moment, seeing the opportunity had arrived, Wu Hui hesitated no longer. A powerful surge of blood energy erupted from within him.
“Kill!”
…………
Within the Luo residence, in a secluded courtyard.
This was a place where no one but Luo Jin himself was allowed to enter.
Now, the Luo family guards stationed outside the gate lay unconscious on the ground, looking as still as corpses.
The one who had knocked out these guards was none other than Lu Xuan.
After Wu Hui and the others had dealt with all of Luo Jin’s bloodline descendants, Lu Xuan, with some time to spare, had come here.
This location was also revealed to Lu Xuan by that fellow Wu Hui.
Lu Xuan’s figure shifted continuously, leaving afterimages throughout the courtyard.
“Here it is!”
Suddenly, Lu Xuan stopped in a remote corner. Before him stood a simple, unadorned small house.
What appeared to others as an ordinary room was, in Lu Xuan’s eyes, anything but.
“The aura of a Natural Spiritual Treasure!”
The door to the room was instantly blown open by a powerful force, and Lu Xuan strode swiftly inside.
As Lu Xuan reached a corner of the room, the structure gave an inadvertent tremble.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In the next second, over a dozen small holes suddenly appeared in the wall at the corner.
Each opening glinted with a silvery-white, cold light.
“Mystical Armor Arrows?”
Lu Xuan felt a flicker of surprise seeing these arrows shooting towards him with deadly speed.
He hadn’t expected to find Mystical Armor Arrows within the Luo family residence.
However, these highly lethal arrows were like toys in the face of Lu Xuan, a martial artist at the peak of the External Aura Grandmaster realm.
Lu Xuan frowned slightly, raised his right hand casually as if swatting a fly, and gave a gentle wave towards the incoming arrows.
A purple streak of aura essence materialized in the void and shot forward.
It swiftly intercepted all the oncoming Mystical Armor Arrows, cutting them cleanly in half.
After this action, Lu Xuan’s right hand shot out again, grasping towards the wall in the corner.
Boom!
The sturdy wall crumbled instantly. A split second before it collapsed, five small wooden boxes were caught and held aloft by Lu Xuan’s aura essence.
Immediately after, an unseen force opened the five small boxes, revealing their contents to Lu Xuan.
“One mid-grade Natural Spiritual Treasure, and four low-grade Natural Spiritual Treasures!”
