Chapter 320: Chapter 258: An Unexpected Delight, the Wen Family’s Remaining Sacrificial Artifacts!
In the distance, Mu Yun was leading several Earth-rank Profound Bird Guards, rapidly approaching Lu Xuan nearby.
However, when Mu Yun saw Man Qingqiu’s figure, his eyes instantly darkened, with a hint of surprise in his expression.
Because Man Qingqiu’s arrival truly caught Mu Yun off guard.
Mu Yun was thoroughly familiar with her background and identity.
She was one of the confidants of the current Empress, holding the position of Director of the Plum Blossom Guard, managing both inside and outside the royal palace.
With great power in her hands, her status in the court was crucial, and no one dared to underestimate her.
At the same time, according to Mu Yun’s understanding, Man Qingqiu’s martial arts attainment was unfathomable, very likely to be an existence at the Divine Mansion Realm Perfection.
Such a transcendent martial arts cultivation, looking across the Great Xia Dynasty, was also among the top elite.
With Man Qingqiu’s appearance, Mu Yun didn’t even need to think, as she must be here with that one’s orders.
Probably here for Princess Xingyue.
Now, just hoping Princess Xingyue was still alive, otherwise, Mu Yun truly didn’t know how that Empress would react.
Of course, Mu Yun knew well that some matters were not for him to inquire about.
Especially when it came to royal secrets; even he, as Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guard, should not know too much.
He quickly turned around and whispered instructions to the Profound Bird Guards behind him.
"Alright, you guys immediately seal off the surrounding area, not permitting anyone to approach Mr. Lu."
After giving instructions to the Profound Bird Guards, Mu Yun turned and left without delay, as if he hadn’t seen Lu Xuan at all.
His actions seemed simple but were actually a wise choice for self-preservation.
Though the Earth-rank Profound Bird Guards were quite curious, they strictly followed Mu Yun’s orders and immediately headed in various directions.
They knew that knowing too much about certain things would only bring deadly disaster.
As for Mu Yun and the others leaving, Man Qingqiu didn’t pay much attention.
She took light and elegant steps, as if walking on clouds, her movement giving off an extraordinary out-of-this-world feeling.
Only when she was a few meters away from Lu Xuan did Man Qingqiu stop.
Immediately, her gaze rippled like water, her red lips slightly parted, and her voice as pleasant as a clear spring: "Mr. Lu, long time no see!"
Man Qingqiu’s gaze, seemingly gentle as flowing water, also carried an unfathomable depth, as if she could see through everything.
At this moment, Man Qingqiu had a faint smile on her face, elusive and mysterious.
Lu Xuan’s gaze was as calm as water, without the slightest ripple in his expression, even meeting Man Qingqiu’s eyes directly, intertwining with hers in the air.
Man Qingqiu’s presence, though causing Lu Xuan a slight internal surprise, was quickly moderated, with no overt change in his demeanor.
Lu Xuan slightly nodded, acknowledging her, then spoke languidly, a tinge of well-placed curiosity in his tone: "Mr. Mei, what brings you here this time..."
In truth, Lu Xuan had already guessed Man Qingqiu’s purpose in his heart.
But he didn’t disclose it directly; instead, he asked as such, probing without a hint.
Man Qingqiu’s eyes shimmered, automatically taking in everything around her, internally surging with waves of shock, hard to calm.
She truly did not expect that she had misjudged when in the palace before.
This Lu Xuan was actually a Primordial Spirit master of Great Success in Divine Mansion Realm!
Not long ago, a terrifying force capable of destruction crossed a span of dozens of miles, relentlessly impacting Man Qingqiu’s perception.
Just the terrifying aftermath emitted by that white light pillar felt like a heavy hammer hammering at Man Qingqiu’s soul.
Even Man Qingqiu couldn’t help but feel a profound sense of dread.
Judging with the instincts accumulated over many years, such immense and pure power of heaven and earth.
Most probably, it was that old schemer Wen Fengyuan, who didn’t hesitate to sacrifice his own divine thought and primordial spirit to detonate the Power of Origin within the ritual vessel.
Thinking of this, Man Qingqiu frowned slightly, a decisive flicker in her eyes, her steps hastening suddenly, turning into a phantom silhouette, speeding toward the explosion center.
When she finally reached her target, the once devastating power of the heavenly origin explosion had vanished, as if it had never appeared.
To be able to dissipate such a world-destroying power so swiftly.
The person capable of such a fantastic act was likely none other than the unfathomable Lu Xuan before her.
Lu Xuan!
This man’s every display of power continually refreshed Man Qingqiu’s understanding.
Even Man Qingqiu found it hard to believe Lu Xuan possessed such immense strength.
Man Qingqiu speculated privately, assuming as she did, the white light pillar shooting skyward.
The power contained within absolutely surpassed Divine Mansion Realm Perfection.
After all, as someone who was herself at Divine Mansion Realm Perfection, she was well-acquainted with the extent of that realm’s power.
With her current power, to unleash an attack beyond Divine Mansion Realm Perfection, she would need at least an eight-pattern moon artifact or a higher-grade ritual vessel.
Otherwise, she couldn’t possibly unleash such an astounding, overwhelming force comparable to the previous white light pillar.
