Chapter 290 - 244: The Death of the Imperial Princess! Calamity-Class Anomaly! Ghost Realm! (Part 2)
A slight mistake, and the force of heaven and earth within their spiritual palace could be eroded by the Yin force from the ghost realm, leading to the annihilation of divine thought.
Lu Xuan’s thoughts churned, and a deep purple light flashed in his eyes.
This calamity-level ghost, what exactly is its relationship with the Wen Family of Haoran Mansion?
The meaning behind Zi Yao’s words clearly reveals more attention to the Wen Family, even more than to the ghost realm itself.
This made Lu Xuan feel puzzled.
Zi Yao noticed the fleeting confusion in Lu Xuan’s eyes but did not speak.
Then, she gently raised her jade hand, slowly swinging her thin long sleeve with gentle yet elegant movements.
As Zi Yao waved her sleeve, a pitch-black jade box with a mysterious luster emerged in front of Lu Xuan.
Subsequently, the black jade box seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, slowly floating in the air.
"Director Lu, everything you wish to know is here."
Zi Yao slightly parted her red lips, her voice cold and sharp, devoid of emotion.
Then she paused slightly, looking deeply at Lu Xuan, and spoke again: "This matter is extremely important and must not be casually leaked out."
"The emperor has decreed that upon discovery of that presence in the ghost realm, if it’s that person..."
Zi Yao’s voice suddenly turned cold, her eyes flashing with a sharp killing intent, "The Wen Family must be annihilated without pardon!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan’s expression slightly tensed, a hint of shock flashed across his eyes.
He hadn’t expected this matter to be tied to the decree of that empress.
"Deputy Director Mu Yun arrived yesterday in the Eastern Domain Wentai Province, he awaits your command over there."
"He has what you need, Director Lu!"
As soon as the words fell, Zi Yao’s figure suddenly transformed into a dazzling purple light in the blink of an eye.
The intermingling of purple light made one dazzled and fascinated, and in an instant, Zi Yao’s figure vanished from the grand hall of the Profound Bird Bureau.
Only the slightly trembling invisible air remained, as if to recount that everything that just happened was not an illusion.
In the grand hall, only Lu Xuan remained, along with the black jade box still suspended mid-air.
Lu Xuan’s gaze was firmly locked on the black jade box floating in mid-air, his expression calm, with his hands behind his back, showing no intent to reach out and catch it.
In the next second, the black jade box, as if pulled by some invisible mysterious force
suddenly "whooshed" towards Lu Xuan, creating a slight sound of breaking the wind.
In the blink of an eye, the jade box stopped steadily in front of Lu Xuan.
With a light "click," the black jade box slowly opened on its own.
Inside the box lay a quaint jade slip.
The jade slip was entirely yellowish, with a lifelike black Profound Bird engraved on its surface, seemingly ready to soar.
Then, under the influence of Lu Xuan’s Primordial Spirit power, the quaint jade slip slowly rose from the jade box, floating in the air.
Then, this quaint jade slip unfurled gradually in front of Lu Xuan.
The contents written inside the quaint jade slip were fully presented to Lu Xuan at that moment without reservation.
To Lu Xuan’s surprise, when the quaint jade slip unfolded, the contents written on it were just a few simple lines.
These few lines appeared straightforwardly, without any unnecessary embellishment.
Yet they were like a bombshell, instantly stirring up a tempest in Lu Xuan’s heart.
Lu Xuan’s brow slightly furrowed, his pupils contracted sharply to the size of needle points.
A hint of shock surfaced on his face, his eyes expressing a subtle surprise.
Eastern Domain Wentai Province!
The capital of Haoran Mansion was surrounded by a mysterious ghost realm, confirmed by the Provincial Governor of Wentai Province as a calamity-level anomaly.
A calamity-level anomaly, suspected to have formed from the invasion of heaven and earth’s force leaked out from Spirit Ruins after Princess Xingyue’s death.
Princess Xingyue!
As for Princess Xingyue, who she is, Lu Xuan doesn’t recognize.
However, anyone who bears the title of princess in the Great Xia dynasty must surely be the daughter of the previous emperor.
Good heavens!
Lu Xuan inwardly exclaimed in surprise.
It turns out a princess of the Great Xia dynasty perished, and moreover transformed into a ghostly creature similar to Zhang Yingxue and Wu Wei.
"It seems there are earth-shattering secrets in this!"
Lu Xuan murmured softly, a gleam flashed deep in his eyes.
In this world of martial cultivation, Lu Xuan couldn’t imagine what could possibly be capable of killing a dynasty’s princess.
So the answer to this question becomes obvious!
Surely someone secretly plotted to murder a dynasty’s princess, and it was done with deep-seated resentment!
No wonder even the enigmatic Director personally showed up to clarify this matter.
Turns out it involves secrets of the Great Xia royal family!
"The Wen Family, huh?"
Immediately, Lu Xuan’s expression reverted to calm, and he casually waved his hand.
The ancient jade slip floating before him and the nearby black jade box.
In an instant, as if smashed heavily, they turned into powder, dissipating into the invisible heaven and earth.
Enough!
No matter who they are, Lu Xuan only needs to confirm if the calamity in Haoran Mansion’s city is indeed Princess Xingyue.
This calamity-level anomaly, who knows how many System Points it might bring me.
As for Princess Xingyue’s appearance!
That will naturally become clear only after heading to the Eastern Domain Wentai Province and meeting with Mu Yun.
Mu Yun is the Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guard, he surely knows Princess Xingyue’s identity.
Lu Xuan did not leave like Zi Yao, but rather openly exited the grand hall.
He still needed to find a map, as he had never even heard of the Eastern Domain Wentai Province.
Outside the hall, the same five women were still standing like pine trees on either side of the entrance.
Seeing Lu Xuan step outside the hall, their movements were synchronized, both hands raised simultaneously, bowing in salute.
"We have seen Director Lu!"
The greeting echoed clearly and resonantly in the empty space outside the hall.
Lu Xuan’s expression was calm, his gaze sweeping over the people one by one.
Finally, it landed on the leading woman, and he spoke in a deep voice: "Find me a map of the Eastern Domain Wentai Province, as quickly as possible."
"Yes, Director Lu!"
The leading woman responded immediately upon seeing this.
Not long after Lu Xuan left with the Eastern Domain map, a figure slowly appeared outside the towering gates of the Profound Bird Guard Headquarters.
Upon closer inspection, it was a hunchbacked old man, thin in stature, tightly wrapped in a flamboyant purple robe.
The purple-robed elder took slow yet steady steps toward the gates of the Profound Bird Guard Headquarters.
If Lu Xuan were still there at this moment, with just one glance, he would recognize the identity of the elder
Wasn’t this the one he had been pondering in his mind, Wo Jiu of the Wo Family!
Outside the gates, the guarding Profound Bird Guards only felt an overwhelming pressure.
This pressure seemed like an invisible net closing in from all sides, almost suffocating them.
As the atmosphere reached extreme tension, Li Chengxing silently appeared at the gate.
He wore a crimson Profound Bird outfit, his posture upright, face stern, eyes shining with intensity.
With Li Chengxing’s arrival, the previous eerie pressure dissipated like snow melting in spring.
The Profound Bird Guards finally relaxed their tense nerves, collectively exhaled deeply, and then withdrew their vigilance.
The guards on both sides respectfully saluted Li Chengxing.
"We have seen the Deputy Director, sir!"
"Hmm!" Li Chengxing nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Immediately, he furrowed his brow, his cold gaze shooting straight at Wo Jiu, full of hostility, without any courtesy, speaking coldly.
"Wo Jiu, why are you coming here again?"
"You old rascal, stop acting senile here, this place isn’t Wo Family."
"This place is the Celestial Capital Profound Bird Guard, only members of the Profound Bird Guard are permitted, and all others are expressly forbidden to enter!"
This Wo Jiu had come once a few days ago, seeking Lu Xuan, and Li Chengxing had refused without hesitation.
Now he’s come again!
Strange, when did Lu provoke the Wo Family?
