Inside the hall, Li Chengxing had just sat down when another figure walked in through the doorway.
Li Chengxing was somewhat surprised to see the person, as it was Shangguan Yunlan.
"Lord Yunlan, why have you come along as well?"
"Isn't the Black Feather Guard supposed to be investigating the Xuan Bird Guard's archive vault?"
"Could it be that you're also here with 'that one's' intentions?"
Shangguan Yunlan's eyes sharpened for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.
This Li Chengxing was indeed worthy of being the Xuan Bird Guard's Deputy Chief, managing to discern her intentions immediately.
However, Shangguan Yunlan would certainly not tell the truth, as it concerned 'that one's' intentions.
"Lord Li, you're overthinking it. Yunlan simply wanted to see this Lu Xuan."
"Moreover, I've already sent people to inspect the archive vault, so there's no need for Lord Li to worry about such trivial matters."
Seeing this, Li Chengxing did not delve into Shangguan Yunlan's purpose and laughed casually a few times!
"Hahahaha, I see!"
After Shangguan Yunlan sat down on the other side of the chair, complex and varied colors flashed in her beautiful eyes.
She recalled her ultimate purpose in coming from Tiandu.
Her mother, Shangguan Yuqing, the Gold Envoy who controlled the Black Feather Guard, had told her.
The main reason for her to come to Anzhou in advance was to test Lu Xuan's character for His Majesty.
If necessary, she could use all means to understand Lu Xuan from all aspects.
Afterward, Shangguan Yunlan would have to return to Tiandu and report all the details of Lu Xuan to His Majesty!
A twenty-year-old Outer Core Grandmaster, or a terrifying existence suspected to be above the Outer Core Grandmaster Completion stage.
Shangguan Yunlan and Li Chengxing had already learned of a major event when they passed by Qingling Prefecture.
Lin Yu, the Blue-Clothed Guard's Deputy Leader of An King, was an Outer Core Grandmaster Small Success stage martial artist, and he carried the sacrificial weapon, the Wind-Fire Blade.
With the power of the sacrificial weapon, Lin Yu could briefly exert the power of an Outer Core Grandmaster Great Success stage martial artist.
However, he eventually died at the hands of this White Path Prefecture Envoy.
From this, it could be inferred that this Lu Xuan must be a terrifying existence above the Outer Core Grandmaster Great Success stage martial artist!
Did such a peerless genius really exist in this world?
Thinking that she had reached the Inner Qi Realm Perfection at the age of thirty, she was already considered an incredible genius.
But compared to Lu Xuan, this martial arts prodigy, it was like comparing clouds to mud, completely incomparable!
Suddenly, Li Chengxing and Shangguan Yunlan simultaneously looked towards the door, where a young man walked in.
"Someone's coming?"
The man stood with his hands behind his back in front of the door, wearing a black brocade robe, with exquisite embroidery shimmering in the dim sunlight.
Most importantly, the man had a burly and upright figure, with smooth and distinct lines, exuding an undeniable sense of power.
His face was handsome and extraordinary, with chiseled features as if carved by a knife, and a pair of dark and deep eyes that seemed to contain infinite mysteries.
The black brocade robe swayed gently in the wind, the collar rustling, and his thick, dark hair was tightly bound behind his head, secured only with a simple jade hairpin.
The person who came was Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan's entire posture was as steady as Mount Tai, like a pine or cypress tree.
Even without saying a word, he could bring a sense of inexplicable pressure to Li Chengxing and Shangguan Yunlan.
As if he were a great figure reigning over the world, causing Li Chengxing and Shangguan Yunlan to feel deeply shocked!
While Li Chengxing and Shangguan Yunlan stared intently at Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan also sized them up.
The old man in the red Xuan Bird uniform was an Outer Core Grandmaster Great Success stage martial artist, and one foot had already stepped into the Outer Core Grandmaster Completion stage.
He should be Lord Li that He Yan mentioned.
One of the three Deputy Chiefs of the Xuan Bird Guard, Deputy Chief Li Chengxing!
The other woman, with the Inner Qi Perfection Realm, must be from the Black Feather Guard.
Lu Xuan instantly guessed the identities of the two, but instead of exposing them, he was the first to speak.
"Who are you, and what business do you have with me?"
As he spoke, Lu Xuan walked in, brushing past Li Chengxing and Shangguan Yunlan, and then sat down in the main seat with composure.
Li Chengxing carefully observed Lu Xuan, constantly sighing in his heart.
So young, it seems that what the Sixth Brother said was true.
And the aura emanating from Lu Xuan was no less than his own.
In fact, Li Chengxing could even feel a faint sense of danger from Lu Xuan.
Seeing this, Li Chengxing did not dare to underestimate Lu Xuan because of his official position.
"You are Lu Xuan, the Xuan Envoy of White Path Prefecture, right?"
"This old man is Li Chengxing, the Deputy Chief of the Xuan Bird Guard."
"This old man has long heard of the elegance of young friend Lu Xuan. I never thought that seeing you today, you truly live up to your name!"
After getting the answer he wanted, Lu Xuan still stood up, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and bowed slightly to Li Chengxing.
"Oh, so it's Lord Chief. This subordinate greets Lord Chief Li!"
After all, Lu Xuan was now a member of the Xuan Bird Guard, and he still had to give some respect to his immediate superior.
In response to Lu Xuan's salute, Li Chengxing also stood up and returned the greeting in the same way.
"Ah, no need to be so polite."
"Lord Lu, you see, my memory is so bad. I forgot to tell you for a moment that your current official position is no longer the Xuan Envoy of the Xuan Bird Guard."
"Lord Lu, this old man is here to congratulate you!"
"His Majesty once issued an edict to the Xuan Bird Guard headquarters, and you have been appointed as the fourth Deputy Chief of the Xuan Bird Guard."
"Moreover, His Majesty's decree is for Lord Lu to enter the capital as soon as possible. His Majesty wants to summon you!"
Li Chengxing's words were like a bolt from the blue, directly exploding in Shangguan Yunlan's ears!
Shangguan Yunlan's originally cold face froze suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened sharply, and her pupils were filled with disbelief and astonishment.
What did she just hear!
The fourth Deputy Chief of the Xuan Bird Guard?
Was this real?
The Xuan Bird Guard was the most powerful organization on the surface of the Great Xia Dynasty. It was the sharp sword in the hands of the Great Xia Emperor, used to suppress the world.
Since the founding of the Holy Ancestor, the Xuan Bird Guard of the Great Xia Dynasty had always been composed of three Deputy Chiefs and one Chief.
But now, that one actually created a precedent to add a fourth Deputy Chief position.
The Deputy Chief of the Xuan Bird Guard was not someone anyone could be.
As far as Shangguan Yunlan knew, apart from Li Chengxing, who always showed his face to the world.
The identities of the other First Deputy Chief and Second Deputy Chief were only known to a very few people, and even their martial arts realm was unknown.
As for the Chief of the Xuan Bird Guard, he was even more mysterious, with his martial arts realm suspected to be a terrifying existence in the Divine Mansion realm!
Therefore, the entire Xuan Bird Guard was basically managed by those three Deputy Chiefs.
From this, it could be seen how much power the Deputy Chief of the Xuan Bird Guard had.
The Deputy Chief of the Xuan Bird Guard was a position of the second rank.
According to the rule of one rank higher than an official, only a small number of officials in the entire Great Xia Dynasty could outrank the Deputy Chief of the Xuan Bird Guard.
Most importantly, the treatment of the Deputy Chief of the Xuan Bird Guard was that they were qualified to enjoy top-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects.
Top-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects were hard to come by, and even in the Spirit Ruins, they were extremely rare and precious things.
Her mother, Shangguan Yuqing, was bestowed a top-grade heaven and earth spiritual object by His Majesty ten years ago.
It was said that top-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects contained huge heaven and earth power, and it was as pure as the heaven and earth power of sacrificial weapons.
Martial artists who took top-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects would improve their martial arts cultivation by leaps and bounds.
Shangguan Yunlan had heard that An King Xia Mingqing was given a top-grade heaven and earth spiritual object by the late Emperor when he was in the Inner Qi realm.
His martial arts cultivation directly broke through from the Inner Qi realm to the Outer Core Grandmaster realm overnight.
Of course, regarding Shangguan Yunlan's shock, Lu Xuan's state of mind did not show much change.
For Lu Xuan, the size of the official position, the size of the fame, these were all passing clouds, mirror flowers, water moon, and castles in the air.
Only martial arts resources and martial arts cultivation were what Lu Xuan needed.
Strength was the root of everything!
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
"Enter the capital?"
"Lord Li, do I have to enter the capital immediately now?"
Lu Xuan frowned, he did not plan to go to the Great Xia Heavenly Capital so soon.
Because, that place had an existence that Lu Xuan was afraid of.
It was the legendary Divine Mansion True Person!
Before Lu Xuan broke through to this realm, he would never take risks and go to the Great Xia Heavenly Capital alone.
After all, the human heart was sinister, and one had to be on guard.
Who knew whether that female emperor had curiosity or malice towards him.
Lu Xuan would not even think about this kind of behavior of entrusting hope to others.
People must rely on themselves in the end!
After hearing Lu Xuan's words, Li Chengxing's eyes showed appreciation when he looked at Lu Xuan.
This young man was the most outstanding person he had ever seen in his life.
Although Lu Xuan was young, his degree of caution and sophistication was no less than that of any old fox.
There was no trace of the pride and arrogance of young people!
Incredible, really incredible!
Li Chengxing seemed to see a strong man growing up in the future.
A peerless powerhouse in the Divine Mansion realm!
At this time, Li Chengxing said leisurely.
"If Lord Lu doesn't have any major events, it's best to set off immediately and go to the Heavenly Capital to meet the Holy!"
"His Majesty appreciates you very much!"
"Of course, His Majesty also said that if Lord Lu still has any worries, you don't have to rush to enter the capital!"
I have to say that His Majesty's preferential treatment for Lu Xuan was unbelievable even to Li Chengxing.
These words still contained the meaning of His Majesty accommodating Lu Xuan's feelings.
It was really an unheard of thing to let His Majesty take into account Lu Xuan's feelings.
"That's good!"
Hearing that he didn't have to rush to enter the capital, Lu Xuan's frowned brows immediately relaxed.
"By the way, Lord Lu, the heaven and earth spiritual objects that your White Path Prefecture wanted, this old man has already sent them all over."
"A total of three high-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects, twenty middle-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects, and one hundred low-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects."
"Well, and this thing!"
"It is something that His Majesty personally bestowed on you!"
As soon as Li Chengxing finished speaking, he gently raised his right hand.
Then he took out a delicate dark black brocade box from his sleeve, not too big or too small, just the size of a palm.
The dark black brocade box was made of some mysterious black crystal, and the surface overflowed with a little black light, which looked extraordinarily simple and mysterious!
The surface of the brocade box was also engraved with several mysterious black Xuan birds, lifelike, with a transcendent temperament.
Li Chengxing gently stroked the dark black brocade box with his left hand, and a trace of heat flashed in his eyes.
That was an envious look!
Because, the things inside were extremely precious.
Top-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects!
Even this old guy Li Chengxing, who had lived for hundreds of years, had a trace of covetousness for this thing.
If he took this top-grade heaven and earth spiritual object, he would probably save one or two years of time and break through to the Outer Core Grandmaster Completion realm in advance.
Even the legendary Divine Mansion realm, Li Chengxing would have a chance!
"Lord Lu, the thing inside is a top-grade heaven and earth spiritual object."
"This is something that His Majesty bestowed on you, and it is also a resource that a Deputy Chief of the Xuan Bird Guard possesses."
Each Deputy Chief of the Xuan Bird Guard would be given a top-grade heaven and earth spiritual object by the Great Xia Emperor to show His Majesty's great kindness.
The reason why Li Chengxing was able to break through to his current realm was also because of the top-grade heaven and earth spiritual object.
Five years ago, the top-grade heaven and earth spiritual object that His Majesty bestowed on him still had the remaining power of heaven and earth, nourishing Li Chengxing all the time.
"What!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, it was the shocked voices of Lu Xuan and Shangguan Yunlan.
Lu Xuan stared intently at the dark black brocade box in Li Chengxing's right hand, his eyes radiating a fiery light, for fear that the dark black brocade box would fly away.
Shua!
Lu Xuan's right hand instantly grabbed the dark black brocade box, and then opened it casually.
At this moment, inside the dark black brocade box, a dazzling white halo shone on Lu Xuan's face.
Immediately afterward, a monstrous heaven and earth spiritual energy swept out from the dark black brocade box, quickly spreading out and heading straight for the hall.
"Eh, what a comfortable feeling!"
"Xiao Gang, do you feel warm all over your body?"
"Why do I feel that my martial arts cultivation is slowly improving!"
The Xuan Bird Guards guarding outside the hall suddenly discovered the abnormality around them.
Moreover, their martial arts cultivation broke out at the same time, and was constantly improving at a slow speed.
Of course, this was only a few breaths of time, and those vast and abundant heaven and earth spiritual energy quickly dissipated between heaven and earth!
Inside the hall, Lu Xuan had already closed the dark black box.
However, the shock in his eyes had not faded by half!
It was real, it was really a top-grade heaven and earth spiritual object!
After Lu Xuan adjusted himself slightly, he suppressed his eager mood and quickly said to Li Chengxing.
"His Majesty's holy grace, this humble minister will definitely keep it in mind."
I hope Director Li will convey my gratitude to His Majesty!
