Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Power of Resentment? The Spirit Ruins Appear Ahead of Schedule!

"How could this happen?"

Lu Xuan sensed everything around him and discovered that the dark energy of Zhang Yingxue had completely vanished without a trace.

Faced with such a bizarre situation, Lu Xuan felt powerless for the first time.

It seemed that Zhang Yingxue could merge into the fabric of the world, and even Lu Xuan couldn’t find her whereabouts.

Moreover, Zhang Yingxue’s anomaly made Lu Xuan feel very peculiar.

Originally, that strike just now, Lu Xuan didn’t hold back, it was a full-force blow equivalent to a Martial Artist with Great Success in External Gang Grandmaster.

Zhang Yingxue took one of his hits, yet not only did she survive, she became stronger.

This incredible event made Lu Xuan mutter softly.

"Could it be because of that resentment?"

Human feelings of resentment have existed in the world since ancient times, and no one can obliterate them.

Unless Zhang Yingxue was born from resentment itself, otherwise how could she have survived Lu Xuan’s strike?

As Lu Xuan thought about this, he casually glanced at the surroundings of the courtyard and then looked at the offering table of the Zhang Family’s ancestral hall.

Immediately, Lu Xuan waved his hand slightly over the heads of a dozen Zhang family members on the offering table.

A stream of purple Gang Yuan streaked across the sky, carrying intense heat, turning those heads to ashes.

Those heads still retained much dark energy.

To Lu Xuan, who urgently needed System Points, it was a small harvest.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Great Success in External Gang Grandmaster

Cultivation Technique: Heaven-Burning Saber Skill 1/9, Streamlight Step Skill 1/9, Diamond Indestructible Body 8/9

Points: 69

Hmm, thirteen Zhang family members’ heads, increased by 39 System Points.

"It seems that to find Zhang Yingxue again, I can only keep an eye on Xiao Liangchen."

Lu Xuan gave a final glance into the distance, where a corpse lay on the ground.

The flesh below the head had already been devoured completely, leaving only a solitary skull.

And the face on the skull was contorted, full of agony, clearly tortured before death.

Lu Xuan felt no sympathy for their tragic deaths.

Because Lu Xuan had already understood the grudge between the Zhang Family and the Celestial Eagle Gang.

When you choose this path, you have to pay the price!

Within the City Mansion Xuan Bird Guards residence.

In the depths of the mansion, in Mo Ronghua’s courtyard, two figures sat facing each other at a stone table.

The person sitting across from Mo Ronghua was naturally his daughter, Mo Qingyi.

At this moment, Mo Qingyi was not wearing the embroidered clothes of the Profound Bird Guard.

Instead, she had changed into a light, elegant dress interwoven with green and white, the hem gently fluttering in the breeze, as if the wind were brushing over the grass.

Her long, black, silky hair was casually draped over her back.

A few strands of hair brushed against her fair cheeks, adding a touch of ethereal beauty, like a fairy untouched by worldly concerns. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Mo Ronghua wasn’t looking at his daughter but was deep in thought, his expression very serious.

"Qingyi, I’ve received news from the family that there seems to have been a change in the Spirit Ruins recently."

"According to that person, the Spirit Ruins seem to be appearing earlier than expected."

"If it’s correct, it’s going to happen a year from now!"

"This news is known only to the eight great families and a few powers."

"However, this news won’t be kept secret for long."

"Because that person intends to convene the imperial dynasty’s martial arts competition a month from now, to select the quota for entry into the Spirit Ruins a year later!"

"Therefore, to respond to this change."

"The family elders have unanimously decided that after this competition to comprehend the spirit items."

"The top three will receive the family’s full support."

"Even top-tier spiritual objects, and possibly even the finest, will be used."

When Mo Ronghua received this news, he was immensely shocked.

Top-tier spiritual objects are only enjoyed by family elders.

And the finest spiritual objects are legendary.

It’s said that the finest spiritual objects contain the purest essence of the universe.

Martial Artists who consume the finest spiritual objects can elevate their Martial Arts Realm rapidly, ascending to great heights!

Of course, ascending rapidly is an exaggeration, Mo Ronghua naturally doesn’t believe it.

"Qingyi, the Celestial Capital Profound Bird Guard has agreed to my request, your fifth uncle will come to Jingtai Prefecture to stay for a while."

"He’ll probably arrive in Jingtai Prefecture in three days."

"Once your fifth uncle arrives, you and I will return to the family together."

"Understood, Father!"

After receiving Mo Qingyi’s response, Mo Ronghua remembered something else.

"By the way, last time in Jingtai Prefecture, you saw Lu Xuan, don’t spread the word."

"And those two girls, remind them too."

Mo Qingyi heard this, and Lu Xuan’s face appeared in her mind, she frowned slightly and spoke.

"What’s wrong, Father."

"That person is a Martial Arts Grandmaster, did something happen to him?"

Mo Ronghua looked at his daughter strangely, and under her puzzled gaze, shook his head.

Lu Xuan, that guy, as an External Gang Grandmaster, how could anything happen to him?

If anything were to happen, it would be to the ones who provoke Lu Xuan.

"Anzhou Inspection Envoy Luo Jin, died mysteriously at the Luo Family yesterday."

"Moreover, not only did the old geezer Luo Jin die, but all members of the Luo Family’s bloodline perished."

"The Luo Family residence was burned down by the perpetrator."

Thinking of Lu Xuan’s personality, Mo Ronghua was almost certain it was Lu Xuan’s doing.

Wow, Xuan, what an impressive figure!

So young, not only possesses unparalleled martial arts skills, but also acts decisively, leaving no room for maneuver.

Mo Ronghua now regards Lu Xuan as a future pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty.

That’s why he specifically reminded his daughter not to leak information about Lu Xuan.

Right now, Mo Ronghua was eager to ingratiate with Lu Xuan, and would never betray him.

"What!"

"Luo Jin is dead!"

"Lu Xuan......"

Mo Qingyi’s beautiful eyes were filled with shock, she couldn’t believe it was true.

And now her father specifically reminded her about Lu Xuan.

Could it be that Luo Jin’s death is related to Lu Xuan?

Seeing his daughter wanting to know the answer, Mo Ronghua nodded, confirming Mo Qingyi’s guess.

"Yes!"

Luo Jin had just threatened to avenge his son.

And now, shortly after, Luo Jin is dead.

Add Lu Xuan’s sudden appearance in Jingtai Prefecture, even a fool could guess Lu Xuan’s intention.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Esteemed Xuan Envoy, Lu Xuan, the esteemed Xuan Envoy of White Dao Prefecture has arrived!"

This unexpected announcement froze Mo Ronghua’s movements.

The teacup he held at his lips silently slipped from his hand.

Until the teacup fell to the ground, producing a crisp glass echo.

Lu Xuan is here?
