Li Chengfeng, Li Yanran, Mo Ronghua, these people all co from the great families of the Capital City.
Are they from those so-called Eight Great Families?
Or perhaps...
No wonder people from these great families like Li Yanran want to join the Profound Bird Guard.
They must be aiming for that quota to enter the Spirit Ruins.
The Great Xia Royal Family’s seventy percent quota indeed makes people flock to it in madness.
These so-called great families likely find the quota insufficient, so they simply join this Profound Bird Guard.
Otherwise, people from these great families must be so bored to join this life-and-death struggle of the Profound Bird Guard.
Imdiately, Lu Xuan dismissed other thoughts and stepped out of the training room, heading directly to the courtyard gate.
Just as he walked out of the gate, a Profound Bird Guard stationed outside approached him to report.
"Master of the Profound, Mr. He sent soone to inform you that the Prefect seeks an audience and is already waiting for you in the main hall."
Inside the main hall of the mansion!
Two figures were seated in the hall, sitting on chairs on either side.
These two were He Yan and the Prefect of White Dao Prefecture, Hong Zhi.
The Prefect of White Dao Prefecture looked similar to He Yan, with silver hair, about fifty years old, with a ruddy face and a commanding presence without anger.
The two were chatting and laughing as if they were old friends.
He Yan, who had served in White Dao Prefecture for several years, naturally had dealings with the officials of White Dao Prefecture.
This acquaintance, coupled with the fact that this Prefect was also a Martial Artist in the Inner Qi Realm, naturally made them sowhat familiar with each other.
However, in the next mont.
They seed to have sensed sothing and stopped their conversation, turning to look outside the door.
He Yan stood up from the chair when he saw it was Lu Xuan.
"Master of the Profound!"
The Prefect Hong Zhi saw this and dared not remain seated, following He Yan’s movents to stand up.
Seeing Lu Xuan’s appearance, Hong Zhi’s eyes widened in shock.
Even though He Yan had previously ntioned that the new Master of the Profound was sowhat young, Hong Zhi still found it astonishing.
Not!
This is what you call sowhat young.
This new Master of the Profound seems to be only about twenty,
Similar in age to his sons. You tell he’s a Martial Artist beyond the Inner Qi Great Success Realm!
Hong Zhi thought of his sons, who did nothing but sleep and seek pleasure.
Compared to this extraordinary and elegant Master of the Profound, the difference was like heaven and earth.
"Hmm!"
Lu Xuan walked in from outside, casually responding to He Yan.
When Lu Xuan sat at the primary seat, He Yan spoke again.
"Master of the Profound, this is the Prefect of White Dao Prefecture, who ca to see you with sothing important today."
"Old Hong, what are you still standing there for?"
"This is our Profound Bird Guard’s new Master of the Profound, temporarily taking over the White Dao Prefecture’s Profound Bird Guard from Mr. Li Chengfeng for a while."
Seeing Hong Zhi’s stunned and life-questioning expression, He Yan felt a certain satisfaction.
Seeing others react the sa way put him at ease.
Back then, he too was puzzled and bewildered upon first seeing Lu Xuan, just like this Prefect.
Is the gap between people really that big?
Is there really such a monstrous genius as Lu Xuan in this world?
He Yan’s reminder jolted Hong Zhi out of his daze, restoring his composure before adopting a humble posture.
"Subordinate White Dao Prefecture Prefect Hong Zhi, pays respects to the Master of the Profound!"
As a Profound Level Profound Bird Guard, Lu Xuan naturally outranked the Prefect.
In both official rank and the strength of a Profound Level Profound Bird Guard, these surpassed the Prefect by far.
So, Hong Zhi dared not be presumptuous just because the other seed young.
Otherwise, if the other sought to deal with him, he would encounter significant trouble.
Lu Xuan glanced at this White Dao Prefecture Prefect and casually said.
"Please, take a seat!"
He Yan and Hong Zhi both sat back down in response.
"Thank you, Master of the Profound!"
Just as Hong Zhi sat down, without pausing, he spoke to Lu Xuan.
"Master of the Profound, I have urgent matters to report to you."
"People from Fenglin County inford of the possible appearance of two demon beasts there."
"The County Magistrate, Deputy County Magistrate, and County Captain, along with other officials, were murdered by those two demon beasts."
"Thus, I hurriedly ca to report this matter to you, Master of the Profound."
Upon hearing Hong Zhi’s words, Lu Xuan furrowed his brows and looked towards He Yan.
Receiving Lu Xuan’s glance, He Yan instantly understood his aning.
"Old Hong, so you ca for this matter."
"You said those two creatures were two demon beasts of the Great Demon realm."
"Recently, the Master of the Profound has already gone to Fenglin County and killed those two demons."
He Yan’s words elicited a loud shout of surprise from Hong Zhi.
"What, Old Yan, you say the two beasts that appeared in Fenglin County were Great Demons!"
Demon beasts of the Great Demon realm and two of them.
No wonder the Fenglin County officials had no chance to resist, with nearly all officials killed.
It turns out there were two Great Demons.
Not just the Fenglin County officials, even he, a Martial Artist in the Inner Qi Realm,
would not stand a chance against two Great Demon beasts.
The physical strength of demon beasts far exceeds that of human Martial Artists of the sa realm.
Under the sa realm, humans are no match for demon beasts.
However, upon hearing that the two Great Demons had been slain, Hong Zhi’s tension eased.
Then, Hong Zhi stood up, showing respectful gratitude towards Lu Xuan.
"Oh, so the two Great Demons have already been slain by the Master of the Profound."
"On behalf of the people of Fenglin County, I thank the Master of the Profound for your intervention."
Hearing these words of praise, Lu Xuan remained expressionless, showing no emotion.
"No problem. This is what I should do."
Seeing Lu Xuan’s calm deanor, Hong Zhi marveled in his heart.
A true hero erges in youth!
A young man around twenty can have such composure, truly unbelievable.
"I have one more matter to report to you, Master of the Profound!"
"The County Magistrate of Lanshan County sent word that a peculiar incident occurred in a household in the city a few days ago,
where the entire family suddenly died mysteriously, with bodies emitting a chilling aura, skin grayish white, faces contorted."
"I believe it is an eerie phenonon, likely related to the bloodthirsty corpse fiend from years ago."
