“Black Feather Guards from Jingtai Prefecture?”

“They’ve come to White Path Prefecture to seek an audience with Li Chengfeng?”

Hearing the report from the men outside the door, Lu Xuan felt a wave of puzzlement and glanced at He Yan.

The name Jingtai Prefecture was familiar to Lu Xuan; it was a neighboring region of White Path Prefecture.

He Yan’s face also showed a confused expression, unsure why the Black Feather Guards from Jingtai Prefecture would suddenly appear in the prefectural city of White Path Prefecture.

“Let them in!”

Lu Xuan then shifted his gaze to the men outside the door and spoke expressionlessly.

Since they were already at the doorstep, he would see these Black Feather Guards from Jingtai Prefecture. He wanted to find out why they had traveled all the way to the prefectural city of White Path Prefecture.

He Yan also returned to his original seat. Compared to Lu Xuan’s calm composure, his mind was currently filled with doubts.

Could it be that something has happened? Otherwise, why would the Black Feather Guards from Jingtai Prefecture have nothing better to do than come here?

Before long, several men hurried in, almost at a jog, from outside the main hall.

The moment they entered, their eyes immediately fell upon Lu Xuan, seated in the main position at the front.

Such a young man. Could this be Envoy Li Chengfeng, the one Lord Mo Ronghua mentioned?

Of course, they also noticed He Yan sitting in the chair to the left. Seeing He Yan wearing the blue Black Feather Guard uniform made them even more puzzled.

What’s the situation with the Black Feather Guards here in White Path Prefecture? Which of these two is actually Envoy Li Chengfeng?

While they were still confused, Lu Xuan spoke up, clearing up their doubts.

“Are you the Black Feather Guards from Jingtai Prefecture?”

“Why have you come to White Path Prefecture seeking Envoy Li Chengfeng?”

“Envoy Li Chengfeng has already left the prefectural city and returned to the capital.”

“For now, I am temporarily in charge of the White Path Prefecture Black Feather Guards for the next few months.”

“If you have business, speak directly to me.”

Lu Xuan’s words sent waves of shock through the visiting Black Feather Guards, their faces showing astonishment.

This…

“Whatever urgent matter you have, report it quickly to the Envoy.”

“I am the Deputy Envoy of the White Path Prefecture Black Feather Guards, He Yan!”

He Yan’s prompt caused the guards from Jingtai Prefecture to snap out of their stupor.

The matter of the two great demon foxes was extremely urgent; there was no time to overthink things.

So, suppressing his inner shock, the lead guard from Jingtai Prefecture bowed to Lu Xuan and spoke directly.

“Greetings, Envoy. We are here under orders from Envoy Mo Ronghua to inform you.”

“Two demon beasts of Great Demon rank have fled from Jingtai Prefecture into Fenglin County, White Path Prefecture.”

“What!”

“Great Demon rank demon beasts!”

“Two of them!”

Before Lu Xuan could even respond, He Yan cried out in shock, his face visibly pale.

The ranks of demon beasts were: Intelligent Demon Beast, Intelligent Great Demon, Demon King, and Celestial Demon!

These corresponded to the martial realms of human warriors:

Blood Refining, Internal Breath, External Aura Master, and Divine Mansion True Master.

That meant that a Great Demon rank demon beast was equivalent to a human Internal Breath realm warrior.

No wonder He Yan had such an exaggerated reaction.

Two beasts equivalent to Internal Breath realm warriors loose in White Path Prefecture was no small matter. If these two Great Demons weren’t dealt with promptly, the death toll could be immense.

He Yan had already risen to his feet, his face ashen, looking extremely grim.

In contrast, Lu Xuan, seated in the main position, reacted differently.

His long-calm heart was finally stirred with excitement again.

“Fenglin County?”

“Two Great Demon rank demon beasts!”

They’re actually Great Demon rank demon beasts! Lu Xuan had also learned about demon beast ranks from Li Chengfeng.

This tremendous surprise caused a fiery glint to gradually appear in Lu Xuan’s eyes.

Internal Breath realm demon beasts! Two of them!

The system points obtainable from demon beasts were no less than those from supernatural anomalies. In fact, slaying demon beasts often yielded even more points than slaying supernatural anomalies. This was because the flesh and blood of high-ranking demon beasts were comparable to natural treasures.

“Good!”

“Very good!”

At this moment, Lu Xuan slowly rose from his wooden chair.

Originally, seeing the lack of supernatural anomalies appearing, he had been considering targeting the remaining natural treasures within the Black Feather Guards.

It seemed that wouldn’t be necessary now.

“Deputy Envoy He, go immediately and prepare a horse for me. Also, send someone to notify Zhao Sheng.”

“I will depart for Fenglin County shortly.”

Without delay, and tempted by the huge lure of two Great Demons, Lu Xuan began issuing orders without a second thought.

“Envoy, regarding those two Great Demons… Envoy Mo Ronghua is already in pursuit.”

“The White Path Prefecture Black Feather Guards only need to post people to watch the border of Fenglin County.”

“Our Envoy will personally slay those two Great Demons.”

Seeing that Lu Xuan intended to intervene in the matter of the two Great Demons, the guards from Jingtai Prefecture immediately reacted and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

“Hmm?”

“White Path Prefecture is my jurisdiction. Are you people from Jingtai Prefecture coming here to tell me how to do my job?”

“Humph!”

Seeing these men trying to hinder his actions, a sharp light shot from Lu Xuan’s eyes.

“What!”

The Blood Refining realm guards from Jingtai Prefecture were caught off guard. They were sent flying out the door by the force of Lu Xuan’s gaze.

Whoever dared to stand in his way of slaying demon beasts, Lu Xuan would not be polite to them.

“Go back and tell your Envoy that I will handle these two demon beasts personally.”

“And tell him to come see me in person.”

“He actually let two Great Demons flee into my White Path Prefecture. He will have to answer to me for any and all losses incurred in White Path Prefecture.”

He Yan, standing to the side, watched as Lu Xuan, without making any apparent movement, merely kept his hands clasped behind his back. A single glance from him had sent those Blood Refining realm warriors flying out the door. He Yan unconsciously swallowed hard, trying to mask the shock deep within him.

The guards who had landed on the ground outside looked around in bewilderment.

What kind of divine technique was that?! How is the Envoy here in White Path Prefecture so powerful?

He just looked at us, and we couldn’t withstand it!

The lead guard, suppressing the chaotic energy and blood within his body, quickly dropped to one knee.

“Envoy, please calm your anger!”

“We were presumptuous. We will definitely relay your words to Lord Mo Ronghua.”

Seeing this, the other two men also promptly dropped to one knee.
