Chapter 240: Chapter 220: Announce My Decree—Order Lu Xuan to Pacify the Ming State Rebellion! (Part 2)

At this moment, Lu Xuan chose not to leave the city of Qingxi Prefecture because of something that kept him here.

Outside a dignified and extraordinary mansion in the city, the government officials had gathered in large numbers.

Lu Xuan quietly appeared in front of these officials, closely following behind the crowd of onlookers.

"Have you heard?"

"It seems that Wu Tongzhi and his family all died last night."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Wu Tongzhi is a martial artist of the Blood Refining Realm. How could he possibly be killed?"

"Who’s talking nonsense? I heard the screams from afar over there last night, but I thought..."

Not far from Lu Xuan, two strong men seemed to be quarreling unrelentingly.

Only one of them, with slightly bronze skin, was busy explaining and stamping his feet on the ground indignantly, his face flushed red.

The veins on his neck bulged, his body trembled continuously, as if remembering those terrifying sounds from last night.

However, their voices were so loud that they attracted the attention of the officials in front of them. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

At this moment, a man dressed differently from the other officials slowly walked to the front of the crowd.

He was dressed in a black chief constable uniform, with a long saber hanging at his waist, his steps steady and imposing as he stopped.

This official was none other than the Chief Constable of Qingxi Prefecture.

The Chief Constable of Qingxi Prefecture’s eyes narrowed, glaring at the two men speaking, and shouted sternly.

"What do you think it is!"

"You bastard, if you don’t scram now, if you dare say another word, be careful I’ll drag you back to the yamen and have you punished!"

This angry shout was like a great bell, causing the heads of people around to buzz.

Especially those two men targeted by the Chief Constable of Qingxi Prefecture, whose legs instantly went soft, trembling like cicadas in winter, and fled the crowd in panic.

What do you think it was?

The Chief Constable of Qingxi Prefecture naturally knew what the man had wanted to say.

Simply that the deceased official had engaged in underhanded deeds while alive.

That Wu Tongzhi was a ruthless person, with countless innocent victims having died in his home!

Of course, the Chief Constable’s stern shout had no effect on Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan’s gaze remained focused on the mansion, his divine sense sweeping through every corner with abandon.

After a few breaths, a trace of joy flashed through Lu Xuan’s eyes.

Indeed, it’s those ghostly things again!

When Lu Xuan’s attention was on the mansion in front, the surrounding onlookers all started to leave in a hurry.

Only Lu Xuan was left standing alone, unmoving.

"Hey, which family’s young master are you? Quickly leave here,

otherwise, no matter your background, I’ll arrest you and take you back to the yamen immediately!"

After the Chief Constable of Qingxi Prefecture sized up Lu Xuan, there was a hint of amazement in his eyes.

The young man before him stood tall, dressed in sleek black clothes, with sword-like brows and starry eyes.

His deep eyes seemed to hide endless sharpness, and his gestures carried a noble aura.

Such extraordinary charm, which family’s young master is this, and why haven’t I seen him before?

Seeing that Lu Xuan showed no reaction, the Chief Constable of Qingxi Prefecture furrowed his brows, but his tone unconsciously softened a bit.

"Young master, the Prefect has ordered that no one is allowed to stay here."

"Please don’t hinder us from carrying out our duties!"

The Chief Constable of Qingxi Prefecture still chose to play it safe, not as fierce as before!

In case he really stumbled upon a formidable opponent, it would spell trouble.

In the next moment, Lu Xuan stepped forward, and the space around him suddenly distorted.

A flash of purplish light later, Lu Xuan had vanished without a trace.

The Chief Constable and the officials behind him, witnessing this astonishing scene, were shocked, their eyes widening.

The crowd was stunned for a long time, mouths wide open, as if they could fit an egg.

What was that?

Gone in a flash?

??????

Did I see it wrong?

The Chief Constable of Qingxi Prefecture raised his hands, vigorously rubbing his eyes, then carefully watched the place where Lu Xuan had just stood.

"Hey, did you all see that?"

"Yes, Chief Constable, that man just now seemed to... seemed to disappear into thin air."

Upon hearing the words, the Prefect of Qingxi Prefecture’s Chief Constable turned pale, his face becoming extremely grim.

Could it be that those ghostly things can be seen even in the daytime?

As a martial artist at the Blood Refining Realm, how come I haven’t sensed the slightest hint of yin energy?

It seems that young man earlier must have cultivated a martial body technique, making his speed beyond their imagination.

Yes, it must be like that!

"Alright, don’t overthink it."

"That person’s martial body technique was extremely skillful, so you couldn’t see it clearly."

"I, the Chief Constable, saw it all clearly just now!"

To stabilize the morale, the Chief Constable of Qingxi Prefecture finally closed his eyes and spouted a few lies.

Deep within the mansion, in a silent and terrifying courtyard, the air was still thick with the smell of blood.

The mottled and decaying courtyard walls, and the withered grass lawn were splattered with dried blood, as if one was in the Asura Hell.

In an instant, in a corner of the courtyard, the space began to warp and twist, and Lu Xuan easily stepped out from within.

To the terrifying scenes in the courtyard, Lu Xuan looked on with a cold gaze, indifferent to them, but turned his attention to the main house of the courtyard.

Immediately, Lu Xuan’s eyes glimmered with traces of purple light, and in the depths of his deep pupils, two mysterious violet abysses formed, penetrating through the closed door.

Inside the room, it was a total mess, with tables and chairs overturned, and precious porcelain shattered on the ground, reflecting a cold light in the dim sunlight.

"Die!"

In an instant, the door was blasted open by a tremendous force, and two twisted and terrifying faces appeared immediately in Lu Xuan’s sight.

Their skin was bluish-purple, their eye sockets sunken, and their dark eyes exuded endless malice.

Their roars sounded as if they came from the Nine Nether Hell, with long hair dancing wildly like venomous snakes on their heads.

However, these two twisted and terrifying faces could only be seen clearly by Lu Xuan.

To put it accurately, only a Divine Mansion True Person could see them, as Lu Xuan’s spiritual mind had already locked onto them.

Because they were not in the human world at this moment, but deep within another void isolated from the mundane world.

"Is this where these weirdos usually hide?"

"Zhang Yingxue and Wu Wei, these two resentful ghosts, were hidden in another space before."

No wonder I couldn’t sense the source of the yin energy.

Lu Xuan lightly raised his right hand, and the spiritual mind in his mind suddenly descended, with terrifying energy pressure sweeping towards those two ghostly faces like raging waves.

The air was compressed into visible ripples, producing crackling explosion sounds.

The room opposite seemed overwhelmed, shaking off a lot of dust, with the doors, windows, and walls beginning to crack.

Lu Xuan’s spiritual mind was like a tangible force, transforming into blades of purple light, sweeping through the ethereal void, and accurately slicing towards those two twisted and terrifying faces.

The two ghostly faces sensed the lethal threat, wailing desperately, trying to evade Lu Xuan’s attack.

But it was just a futile struggle; Lu Xuan’s spiritual mind easily wiped out those two ghostly faces.

However, after these two ghostly faces were eliminated by Lu Xuan, there remained some black streams of air in another void, quietly flowing there.

What is this?

Could it be the origin of the weirdness?

Weirdness is immortal and indestructible, a rule Lu Xuan knows!

Faced with this situation, the spiritual mind power in Lu Xuan’s mind once again transformed into a purple giant hand, grasping towards those black streams.

Under Lu Xuan’s expectant gaze, the purple giant hand penetrated the black air stream, as if there was nothing there, just a void.

"Alas, it seems the Divine Mansion True Person cannot completely eliminate these ghostly things either."

Please confirm if the host wants to consume 20000 system points to deduce A Step Away from Heaven.

Gained 3000 system points, it seems each ghostly face is worth 1500 system points.

These two resentful weirdos were much weaker than Zhang Yingxue and Wu Wei before.

Just as Lu Xuan was checking the system, suddenly, there was a disturbance from his bosom.

Lu Xuan frowned slightly and took out his identity token from his bosom, the red crystal token belonging to the Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guard.

Lu Xuan rubbed the token, pondering in his heart.

Is someone looking for him?

Lu Xuan, with a thought, injected a trace of spiritual mind into the red crystal token.
