Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years

As soon as Lu Xuan voiced his intention to keep Wu Jiu, the ethereal shadow of Wu Sheng's primordial spirit, floating in mid-air, instantly froze, his previously unrestrained smile vanishing as if covered by a layer of frost.

Following that, Wu Sheng's rigid expression gradually returned to calmness, yet beneath this tranquility seemed to lurk a surging storm.

“Daoist Lu, you know this is impossible.”

“As a member of the Wu family, Wu Jiu can only be dealt with by us.”

Wu Sheng's face turned cold, his eyes devoid of warmth, staring directly at Lu Xuan, his words lacking any emotional fluctuation, like a bottomless, icy abyss.

As the Supreme Elder of the Wu family, handing Wu Jiu over to Lu Xuan would mean the Wu family would lose all face in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Moreover, this was happening in front of Wu Sheng, the ancestor of the Wu family.

Handing over Wu Jiu was simply impossible!

The Eight Great Families cannot be humiliated!

Members of the Eight Great Families can only be dealt with by the Families themselves; outsiders have no say.

Of course, the supreme Great Xia Emperor within the Imperial Palace was an exception!

Seeing Lu Xuan's silence and lack of intention to back down, a sharp glint of killing intent flashed in Wu Sheng's eyes.

However, this killing intent was fleeting, and Wu Sheng quickly suppressed the anger and ruthlessness in his heart, speaking again with a hint of helpless compromise.

“Daoist Lu, Wu Jiu's assassination attempt on Mu Yun is due to our Wu family's lack of discipline, and we should bear the consequences.”

Wu Sheng's gaze locked onto Lu Xuan, “But the mistakes of the Wu family's people are governed by our own rules.”

“After Wu Jiu returns to the Wu family, I will certainly use the Wu family's laws to deal with him, never condoning it, and will definitely give you, Daoist Lu, a satisfactory explanation!”

The Lu Xuan before him, seemingly young, acted with such uncompromising force, pressing him at every step.

He showed no regard for Wu Sheng, the ancestor of the Wu family.

Wu Sheng was secretly annoyed, though he maintained a semblance of composure on his face.

A reckless junior!

Wu Sheng sneered inwardly, feeling that Lu Xuan was too ignorant and did not take the Eight Great Families seriously at all.

Just because he had reached the peak of the Divine Mansion Realm, he thought he could do whatever he wanted, without any scruples.

Little did he know that as long as one was not an existence of the Void Prying True Monarch level, the Eight Great Families would forever be an invincible myth in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Seeing Wu Sheng's unwillingness to accept, the impatience on Lu Xuan's face flashed by, yet it was so intense that he couldn't hide it.

In the next moment, Lu Xuan didn't even bother with pretenses and directly rebuked Wu Sheng sternly.

“Noisy!”

Lu Xuan's words seemed to be wrapped in frost, icy and piercing.

“Irrelevant people, leave immediately!”

“If you linger here, don't blame this Division Master for being impolite and taking you down as well!”

Lu Xuan's words were full of forceful emotion, as if he would act in the next second.

“Good!” Wu Sheng's eyes widened, glaring, the sound squeezed from between his teeth.

“Very good!”

Wu Sheng was enraged!

He was truly enraged!

This junior was being too deceitful!

Wu Sheng's heart was filled with suppressed anger, like a volcano about to erupt.

“Lu Xuan, today I will see.”

“Just how capable you are to take Wu Jiu away from me!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Sheng looked up to the sky and laughed in extreme anger, the laughter shaking the space, creating a rolling rumble, as if it could shatter this world.

Wu Jiu's previous repressed emotions vanished instantly, replaced by irrepressible excitement, and even the expression on his face revealed a sense of joy.

“Lu Xuan, this ignorant and reckless junior!”

“He is simply arrogant to the extreme, unable to see anyone in his eyes, and has no respect for the Wu family of the Eight Great Families.”

Wu Jiu cursed incessantly in his heart.

Thinking of this, a sinister look flashed in Wu Jiu's eyes, “Humph, now there's a good show to watch, let Ancestor Wu Sheng teach you a lesson, you reckless junior.”

“Let you know that there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens!”

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred!

The pitch-black cane in Wu Jiu's hand suddenly flew towards Wu Sheng in the sky without warning.

The speed was as fast as lightning, drawing a blurred afterimage in the air.

In the blink of an eye, the black cane held by Wu Jiu had floated in front of Wu Sheng.

In the next moment, the heaven and earth patterns engraved on the pitch-black cane seemed to be awakened by a mysterious force, suddenly erupting with dazzling black light.

This black light was like a surging tide, rapidly spreading to the surroundings, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed to have transformed into a sky-covering canopy.

The pitch-black canopy devoured all the surrounding light, constantly emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

Seeing that the ancestor had already made a move, Wu Jiu was secretly delighted, knowing that his chance to escape had arrived.

Just before the black canopy enveloped him, Wu Jiu's aura suddenly changed, his entire body seemingly a taut bowstring, ready to be released.

Immediately afterward, his figure swayed, as fast as a ghost, turning into a black afterimage and flying away rapidly.

The rushing wind sound was brought up along the way, and the surrounding air was stirred into disarray, which showed his eagerness to escape.

Seeing Wu Jiu trying to escape, Lu Xuan's eyes narrowed instantly, his purple pupils fully exposed.

In an instant, the void above Wu Jiu's head suddenly twisted and fluctuated, then collapsed strangely.

Immediately afterward, a giant hand burning with raging purple flames, wrapped in the overwhelming force of a landslide, pressed down fiercely towards Wu Jiu's body.

“Want to run?”

Lu Xuan snorted coldly, these extremely short words contained endless deterrence, like thunder that exploded on the ground, rolling and echoing around Wu Jiu.

In an instant, Wu Jiu was suppressed by an irresistible force of heaven and earth.

This power of heaven and earth was so heavy that it seemed the entire sky was tilting down, as if to crush Wu Jiu inch by inch, grinding his bones to ashes.

Wu Jiu's legs trembled slightly under the heavy pressure, and he tried his best to barely stand firm on the ground, every inch of muscle strained due to the exertion.

Wu Jiu quickly raised his head, only to see that his eyes were already covered with bloodshot, full of fear and despair.

He stared fixedly at the giant purple flame hand above his head, wrapped in scorching flames.

“No!”

Wu Jiu roared, his voice full of unwillingness and despair, his resistance seemed so small in the face of this devastating power.

“Ancestor, save me!”

Wu Jiu shouted, his voice hoarse, hoping that Ancestor Wu Sheng could help him at this critical moment.

As soon as Wu Jiu's cry for help fell, Wu Sheng seemed to understand his plight instantly.

In the next moment, the pitch-black cane trembled inexplicably.

Immediately following, the dark and deep staff body suddenly rippled with eerie black light, and the runes of heaven and earth flickered faintly.

Suddenly, a muffled rumble echoed from the depths of the staff.

In the next instant, a black tide, seemingly possessing its own consciousness, surged forth from the staff with overwhelming force.

The tide churned, waves splashed, and each drop of ink-colored water exuded a chilling coldness, quickly filling the air with a terrifying aura.

This tide was as thick as ink, rolling and roaring, seemingly containing endless resentment and power.

In an instant, this black tide, carrying the momentum to destroy the heavens and the earth,

Like an arrow released from a bowstring, it hurtled towards Lu Xuan's purple flame giant hand, which was condensed from the power of his divine sense and primordial spirit.

Its speed was extremely fast, and it crossed the distance between them almost in the blink of an eye.

Wherever the black tide passed, the space seemed to be wantonly impacted, causing ripples of violent undulation.

The newest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

The originally stable void space seemed to be overwhelmed, emitting a faint "buzzing" sound, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Under the constant scouring of the flood-like black tide, the raging purple flame giant hand condensed by Lu Xuan was instantly and completely submerged.

The incomparably hot purple flames, under the impact of the black tide, seemed like the fire of a dying candle, without any resistance, quickly dissipating.

Below, Wu Jiu keenly sensed that the terrifying power, like Mount Tai, that had been pressing on him had quietly dissipated.

Having narrowly escaped death, Wu Jiu's face was full of rejoicing.

He dared not stay for even a moment, not even daring to look back, desperately fleeing forward, only regretting that he had not been born with a few extra legs.

Wu Jiu only had one thought in his mind at this moment—that was to get as far away from this terrifying place as possible.

Especially Lu Xuan, this young man with terrifying methods, had simply become a nightmare in Wu Jiu's heart that he could not shake off.

In Wu Jiu's view, this Lu Xuan was extremely dangerous.

If he could choose, Wu Jiu wished he would never see Lu Xuan again in this lifetime.

Even a fleeting glimpse of Lu Xuan's figure would make Wu Jiu tremble with fear.

Because Lu Xuan, this unscrupulous madman, really dared to kill him!

Just as Wu Jiu was fleeing in a panic, desperately running towards the distance,

An extremely subtle, almost imperceptible, purple aura flashed past his back like a ghost.

The purple aura was as fast as lightning, fleeting in an instant, and unless one was extremely perceptive, it would be impossible to detect this subtle anomaly.

Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his black brocade robe fluttering in the wind, his expression calm, his eyes deep as he looked into the distance.

Wu Jiu's figure was rapidly disappearing towards the horizon, and Lu Xuan quietly stared at him.

After a long time, Lu Xuan finally chose not to take action again, seemingly letting Wu Jiu leave.

Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and his calm eyes seemed to hide unknown thoughts, as if everything was under his control.

The reason why Lu Xuan no longer paid attention to Wu Jiu was only because his attention at this moment was completely drawn to Wu Sheng above in mid-air.

"It's truly delightful!"

Lu Xuan muttered to himself, a gleam of determination flashing in his eyes.

Of course, make no mistake, Lu Xuan had no interest in Wu Sheng's primordial spirit phantom.

What Lu Xuan coveted was naturally the black staff emitting a mysterious aura in front of Wu Sheng.

A sacrificial artifact!

That was one of the things Lu Xuan wanted to obtain the most, a heaven and earth sacrificial artifact!

In Lu Xuan's eyes, this black staff was definitely not inferior to the Seven-striped Moon-grade artifact, the Grand Righteousness Ruler, of Wen Fengyuan, the ancestor of the Wen family.

Comparing the two, it could be seen from the previous strike that the power of the origin of heaven and earth contained in this sacrificial artifact was comparable to the Grand Righteousness Ruler, neither being superior to the other!

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan slowly released his hands, which were originally behind his back.

Lu Xuan's expression sharpened, his eyes like torches as he looked at Wu Sheng, and suddenly shouted angrily:

"Bold!"

"Old fool, how dare you obstruct this Chief from capturing the criminal who assassinated Vice Chief Mu Yun? What should be your punishment?!"

Lu Xuan's questioning caused rolling sound waves to rage in mid-air, causing the surrounding air to vibrate buzzingly.

"Hmph, Lu Xuan, stop posturing in front of this old man!"

Wu Sheng snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain, "Stop using these high-sounding words to pressure me."

In the next second, the aura around Wu Sheng's primordial spirit phantom suddenly soared, and the surging power of heaven and earth transformed into a raging storm sweeping around.

"There's no need for more nonsense. Let's see the truth under our hands. We'll know who is better after a fight!"

Having said that, Wu Sheng stared at Lu Xuan with burning eyes, seemingly wanting to test Lu Xuan's true strength.

This Bone-corroding Staff was a Seven-striped Moon-grade sacrificial artifact that Wu Sheng obtained after breaking through to the Divine Mansion realm in his early years.

Under the blessing of the power of the origin of heaven and earth of the Bone-corroding Staff, his primordial spirit phantom could completely approach the power of the Divine Mansion realm's completion without limit.

Today, Wu Sheng wanted to find out whether this Lu Xuan had truly reached the completion of the Divine Mansion realm.

In his view, if Lu Xuan was really like this, then he would undoubtedly be a huge threat.

Wu Sheng thought to himself, if Lu Xuan had indeed reached the completion of the Divine Mansion realm, then this son must not be left alive.

Once he was left unattended, he would definitely become a confidant's trouble in the future.

At that time, Wu Sheng planned to immediately notify those few families and unite all parties.

Taking advantage of the fact that Lu Xuan's foundation was not stable, he would quickly eradicate this scourge by the roots.

Lu Xuan was too lazy to waste words with Wu Sheng. In an instant, his eyes burst with purple light, like two rounds of purple suns rising.

"Leave this staff behind!"

As soon as Lu Xuan's voice fell, a scene that shocked Wu Sheng suddenly appeared.

A purple flame giant hand that could cover the sky instantly took shape outside the black sky.

Subsequently, the purple flame giant hand, with an unstoppable momentum, brazenly broke through the black sky.

Then, the purple flame giant hand, carrying the momentum to destroy the heavens and the earth, rushed straight towards Wu Sheng's primordial spirit phantom.

The majestic power of heaven and earth in the middle of the purple flame giant hand caused the surrounding space to begin to twist and deform.

Wu Sheng's divine sense and primordial spirit phantom had just wanted to make a move, but found that it was too late to react at all.

The five fingers of the purple flame giant hand in mid-air instantly closed, tightly grasping Wu Sheng's divine sense and primordial spirit phantom.

Only a slight "crackling" sound was heard, and Wu Sheng's primordial spirit phantom, wrapped in the purple flames, instantly turned into starlight like fragile bubbles and dissipated between heaven and earth.

The current Lu Xuan is invincible below the Void Realm.

A mere primordial spirit phantom that infinitely approached the completion of the Divine Mansion realm was just a matter of convenience!
