I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Chapter 277 - 238: Half of the Origin Power of the Spirit Ruins

Immediately, a mass of pure white fluid, like a flowing stream, gently seeped out from the mouth of the cauldron.

The white stream flowed gracefully, without a trace of impurity, so pure that it shook one’s soul.

Following this, the white stream traced a beautiful arc in the air, slowly flowing toward the palm of Empress Xia Mingyue.

Then, the white stream leisurely coiled above her palm.

This seemingly erratic spinning emanated an astonishingly vigorous aura.

Standing below, Zi Yao, always calm and indifferent, like an ancient well, remained unperturbed.

But the instant the white stream caught her eye.

Her always unchanged expression suddenly faltered, her once calm and unruffled eyes widened instantly.

Full of panic and shock, as if witnessing the most unbelievable thing in the world.

How did Her Majesty accomplish this?

In those days, I was there witnessing everything myself.

Wasn’t the Power of Origin from the Spirit Ruins finally reclaimed by the remnant soul of that Earth Venerable Realm Master?

How come now, half of the Power of Origin has fallen into Her Majesty’s hands.

Her Majesty even managed to hide it from me!

Compared to Zi Yao’s shock, Empress Xia Mingyue slightly lifted her snow-white chin, her eyes steady and determined.

She quietly gazed at the mass of white stream above her palm, as if the entire world was already under her control.

Back then, if not for the Profound Bird Cauldron blocking a blow for me from that Earth Venerable Realm Master’s remnant soul, I might have long perished.

Even so, Empress Xia Mingyue received serious backlash, preventing her from refining this half of the Spirit Ruins’ origin.

But now, Empress Xia Mingyue’s internal injuries have completely healed, allowing her to refine this half of the Spirit Ruins’ origin.

Of course, she now brings out the origin from the Spirit Ruins specifically for Zi Yao to see.

More precisely, it is for the sect behind Zi Yao to see.

Because the true identity of this Zi Yao before her is not of the Great Xia dynasty, but a cultivator from beyond the domain.

"Zi Yao, go back and tell your master that whatever I promised her, I will definitely accomplish."

"The people of your Snow Moon Sect need only assist me in eradicating the heretics of the Purification Extreme Saint Sect after appearing in the Great Xia Dynasty."

Zi Yao hadn’t yet recovered from the shock when she saw a flash of black light on the throne, and Empress Xia Mingyue had vanished without a trace, leaving only an empty throne.

"Her Majesty’s power is becoming even more unfathomable." Zi Yao murmured, her beautiful eyes filled with apprehension as dense as ink!

I am, after all, a Half-Step Void Realm martial artist, infinitely close to the Void Realm True Monarch Realm.

And yet, with my level of power, I didn’t even notice when Her Majesty left.

Perhaps Her Majesty has already stepped into that kind of realm.

Zi Yao slightly raised her head, gazing long at the empty throne.

Then, she gently pursed her cherry lips, and with a light lift of her foot, her graceful figure suddenly transformed into a brilliant violet light, disappearing into the void in the blink of an eye.

Only a few traces of spiritual qi remained, slowly dissipating into the air in the great hall.

Celestial Capital Profound Bird Guard Headquarters!

At this moment, outside the headquarters of the Profound Bird Guard, a scene that left people dumbfounded and feeling odd unfolded.

Two elders dressed in red Profound Bird uniforms stood upright on either side of the headquarters’ gate.

Moreover, the elder standing on the right in the red Profound Bird uniform appeared particularly anxious.

He stretched his neck now and then, peering towards the distant horizon, his feet shuffling unconsciously as if anxiously awaiting something.

The elder seemed as if he couldn’t hold back and would rush out any second.

Thus, this peculiar behavior of the two made the Profound Bird Guards originally guarding both sides of the gate exchange bewildered glances.

What was particularly shocking to everyone was that these two elders were no ordinary people.

Their identities turned out to be Vice Directors of the Profound Bird Guard, Second Vice Director Mu Yun, and Third Vice Director Li Chengxing.

Throughout this period, everyone entering and leaving the Profound Bird Guard headquarters was utterly astonished.

It’s like seeing a ghost!

Who on earth could be so significant as to have the two Vice Directors of the Profound Bird Guard personally waiting at the gate?

Standing on the left, Mu Yun, seeing Li Chengxing pacing as if on a hot griddle, couldn’t help but show a helpless expression.

"I say, Old Li, is the news you received reliable or not?"

"Don’t fool me; I’ve been standing here like a monkey for an hour, let everyone see me."

"Is Mr. Lu currently in the Celestial Capital?"

Upon hearing the doubt in Mu Yun’s words, Li Chengxing’s old face turned red, and he immediately glared, mustache bristling, and said decisively.

"Don’t worry, Old Mu, Old Lu is in the palace, meeting with Her Majesty."

"Considering the time Old Lu entered the palace, he should be approaching here soon."

"Of course, if you don’t wish to wait, you may leave first."

"I’m sure Old Lu wouldn’t mind such a small matter."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun instantly lost his temper, fell silent again, and stood quietly, eyes closed, conserving energy.

Leave?

That’s out of the question.

Leaving is not an option.

This young Lu Xuan, despite his youth, surpassed both me and that old Li Chengxing in the Martial Arts Realm, becoming an existence of the Divine Mansion Realm.

In the face of such circumstances, of course, Mu Yun would shamelessly cling to the powerful.

If it were just an ordinary Divine Mansion Realm martial artist, Mu Yun wouldn’t be so enthusiastic.

After all, he is a Half-Step Divine Mansion Realm existence himself, just a step away from the Divine Mansion Realm.

But Lu Xuan, this Divine Mansion Realm martial artist, is vastly different.

Mu Yun dares to voice his thoughts openly in the presence of everyone.

This Lu Xuan, if all goes well, will undoubtedly cultivate to a very high Martial Arts Realm.

Perhaps he might even reach the level of the Director, who is extraordinary himself.

In Mu Yun’s heart, the Director of the Profound Bird Guard, Zi Yao, is an invincible existence.

To compare Lu Xuan with Director Zi Yao shows just how much Mu Yun values Lu Xuan.

Reading Mu Yun’s mind, Li Chengxing immediately lifted his old face, laughing heartily.

"Hehehe!"

"Old Mu, I didn’t expect you, who usually keep to yourself, to have such thoughts one day."

This teasing from Li Chengxing caused Mu Yun to glare at him angrily, unable to resist casting a disdainful look.

This pesky old man still has the nerve to say that about me?

"Hmph, likewise!"

Mu Yun schooled his expression and retorted irritably, "Old Li, you, from a prestigious family, are doing the same thing; what right do you have to criticize me?"

Left speechless by Mu Yun’s retort, Li Chengxing could only awkwardly smile.

In the end, Li Chengxing tried to gloss over the topic with this slightly awkward smile.

"Old Li?"

"Mr. Mu?"

"Did you both return from Ming State so quickly?"

Before seeing anyone, the voice arrived first!

Upon hearing these words, Li Chengxing and Mu Yun simultaneously turned their gaze to a certain void in front of them.

The void slowly rippled with faint waves, followed by a hint of violet brilliance that disappeared in an instant.

Then, a handsome young man stepped slowly out from the ripples, each step carrying a sense of natural ease.

"Old Lu!"

"Mr. Lu!"

Despite the excitement on the faces of Li Chengxing and Mu Yun, Lu Xuan remained calm, only nodding slightly in acknowledgment.
