Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Heaven-Burning Saber Skill! Great Success in External Gang Grandmaster!

Three hours later!

Inside Lu Xuan’s mind, the golden figure cast the final mysterious saber move, unleashing a dazzling purple light.

What followed was an endless sea of purple flames, surging like a world-ending flood, setting the vast heavens ablaze.

The scene in Lu Xuan’s mind vanished as quickly as it appeared, returning to its original state.

Sitting cross-legged in the courtyard’s martial practice field, Lu Xuan suddenly floated into the air.

A deep purple Gang Yuan Protective Shield enveloped Lu Xuan’s entire body.

The Gang Yuan on the deep purple shield flowed like lava, emitting a heart-pounding heat.

In mid-air, Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, with a faint purple glow emanating from his eye sockets, resembling a divine entity, majestic and inviolable.

Great Success in External Gang Grandmaster!

Heaven-Burning Saber Skill!

The Great Success in External Gang Grandmaster allowed the Gang Yuan to become so solid.

The Gang Yuan of this degree could even allow temporary flight.

Lu Xuan felt the Gang Yuan within him rapidly depleting, so he withdrew it back into his body.

After withdrawing the Gang Yuan, the protective shield around Lu Xuan also disappeared.

Lu Xuan slowly floated down from mid-air until he landed on the ground.

"The cost of deduction is as high as ever!"

Lu Xuan sensed that only a tenth of his Gang Yuan remained, knowing it was consumed during the deduction of the Red Flame Saber Skill.

However, after breaking through to Great Success in External Gang Grandmaster, Lu Xuan found his speed of absorbing energy from heaven and earth had greatly increased.

But, restoring his internal Gang Yuan this way was not as fast as directly refining spiritual objects.

If Lu Xuan were to directly refine spiritual objects, his depleted Gang Yuan would have already fully recovered by now.

However, relying solely on absorbing the power of heaven and earth, Lu Xuan estimated it would take several days to completely restore his Gang Yuan.

Forget it, for now, I’ll use some potent medicinal herbs to speed up the recovery of Gang Yuan.

As for the remaining two cultivation techniques, Lu Xuan will deduce them upon returning to the White Dao Prefecture capital.

Because Lu Xuan has some small matters waiting for him to handle.

The setting sun was like blood, casting dappled shadows on the official road of Qingyun County, with strands of sunset glow falling on the earth.

In a village not far from the official road, there was no sign of human life.

The once bustling and lively village had become silent, desolate to the extreme.

This eerie village was the place Lu Xuan had passed through before.

Liugou Village!

At the village entrance, a few strange shadows were stretched long by the dim daylight.

Among the three figures, the one in the middle was a hunched, short old woman.

The old woman held her hands behind her back, dressed in a white robe that wrapped her entire body, revealing only a pair of eyes filled with wrinkles.

The two figures beside the old woman looked much shorter than her, both simply draped in white robes.

One figure was taller, around the height of a newborn, while the other was about the height of an eight-year-old human child.

"It’s been almost a day; by now, the Qingyun County city should be nearly wiped out."

"Kekeke, I wonder how Li Chengfeng will feel when he learns the truth."

"An entire city’s population wiped out, even if he belongs to the Li Family, he won’t escape the wrath of that damned emperor."

"All of this is not in vain for me as an elder."

Thinking of the misfortune of the old ghost Li Chengfeng, the old woman’s eyes glinted strangely white, emitting a chilling laugh.

Throughout these years in the White Dao Prefecture, she had been hunted down several times by that old ghost Li Chengfeng.

"It’s time to return to the Holy Sect headquarters."

"The Observatory’s group, with their tiresome calculations, is no longer a match for our Holy Sect."

"Surely, the Guardians and Supreme Elders of the Holy Sect have already awoken by now."

The old woman was in high spirits; her visit to White Dao Prefecture had been fruitful.

Not only had she destroyed the entire Qingyun County city, but she had also used some human martial artists from Qingyun County to cultivate a White Lotus Holy Infant.

The old woman originally had a White Lotus Holy Envoy.

The baby-sized monster beside her was what she had nurtured after coming to Qingyun County.

The old woman wantonly slaughtered villages and towns, using the flesh and blood of martial artists to nurture the White Lotus Holy Seed.

In less than a few days, she had already raised a White Lotus Holy Infant.

Due to the old woman’s swift and covert methods, news of the destroyed villages and towns had not spread out.

So even the Qingyun County Government was unaware that some villages and towns under Qingyun County’s jurisdiction had been slaughtered.

Just as the old woman was about to leave Liugou Village, the two monsters beside her suddenly froze, gazing into the distance.

"Hmm?"

"Is there prey coming?"

Seeing this, the old woman lifted her head to look towards the direction of Qingyun County’s official road.

Because the White Lotus Holy Envoy and White Lotus Blood Infant could clearly sense human presence from afar.

Their abnormal behavior indicated the presence of humans ahead.

Subsequently, the old woman’s eyes flickered with eerie white light, her voice cold and indifferent: "You two, go eat that prey."

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, the eyes of the two monsters also flashed with dazzling white light, seemingly under her control.

Boom!

The ground trembled slightly, emitting a dull thud.

The two White Lotus monsters instantly turned into a blur, leaping swiftly into the distance.

Along the official road near Liugou Village, Lu Xuan’s figure appeared.

Originally, the journey from the county city to Liugou Village took more than a day. However, at Lu Xuan’s peak speed, it took less than two hours to arrive here.

At this moment, Lu Xuan halted his pace, gazing in the direction of Liugou Village.

"Huh?"

"White Lotus Blood Infant?"

"And a monster even stronger than a White Lotus Blood Infant."

"It seems I was right; there are indeed evil members of the Pure World White Lotus Sect in Liugou Village."

Lu Xuan sensed a very familiar aura in the distance.

It was the aura of a White Lotus Blood Infant!

Lu Xuan considered the eerie shadow of Liugou Village, deducing that members of the Pure World White Lotus Sect were likely still in Liugou Village.

"Hmph, these damned creatures!"

Lu Xuan snorted coldly, as two streams of purple Gang Yuan emerged from the void around him.

Then, two streams of scorching purple Gang Yuan, accompanied by a sharp offensive capable of tearing through space, shot toward those two White Lotus monsters.
