I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons-Chapter 38: No One Is Allowed to Covet the Lu Family!
On the official road, still a dozen miles from the county town, three horses that appeared extremely expensive galloped along, advancing in the direction of Qingyun County.
There were three people on the horses, two men and a woman. On the horse at the front rode a woman dressed in a deep blue robe.
Embroidered on the deep blue robe were rivers and mountains, sun, moon, and stars, with a black mystical bird soaring in the sky in the middle.
The image of the black mystical bird appeared vivid and lifelike, exuding an aura of majesty and sanctity that was awe-inspiring.
The tight blue robe accentuated the woman’s tall and slender figure, while her long, flowing black hair swayed in the wind.
At the town gate!
Unlike the usual bustling scene, the pedestrians coming and going through the town gate today appeared unusually quiet and well-behaved.
This was because on either side of the town gate stood over a dozen government officials from the county government, presenting a solemn and dignified spectacle.
It seemed they were awaiting the arrival of some important figure.
More intriguingly, not far from these officials sat two people, a man and a woman.
Among the passersby, some knowledgeable individuals could immediately recognize the man sitting there.
The Chief Constable of the county government! Chen Shi!
However, no one could identify the woman beside Chen Shi.
The woman accompanying Chen Shi was Ye Xuan.
At this moment, from a few hundred meters outside the town gate, came the sound of subtle hoofbeats.
Sitting at the town gate, Chen Shi saw this and immediately stood up from his wooden chair, staring intently ahead.
As the group came closer, the woman beside Chen Shi, Ye Xuan, became excited: "Mr. Chen, Yanran and the others are here!"
As the group slowly approached from outside the town, they finally arrived directly at the town gate.
Ye Xuan immediately ran over, with Chen Shi following closely behind her.
Upon seeing Ye Xuan, the three people at the town gate dismounted from their horses.
"Yanran! Ling Feng!"
The tall woman leading the group was Li Yanran, a Yellow-level Profound Bird Guard who had come from the regional prefecture.
Li Yanran’s usually cold face showed a slight smile in response to Ye Xuan’s greeting, and she nodded to her.
"Xuan."
Behind Li Yanran were two men, both dressed in black robes typical of ordinary members of the Profound Bird Guard.
One was a tall and burly man with a wheatish complexion, and the other was a somewhat slim young man.
Among the three, the slim young man looked at Ye Xuan, who was close to Li Yanran, and slowly spoke.
"Miss Xuan, I didn’t expect we’d meet again so soon."
Standing beside Li Yanran and hearing the slim young man call her so familiarly, Ye Xuan felt a bit disgusted, replying with disdain: "Su Tianqi, shut up. You’re not allowed to call my name."
This annoying guy was the son of the County Magistrate of Lanshan County, five or six years older than her, a martial artist who had just entered the Bone Refining Realm.
He had joined the Profound Bird Guard at the same time as her and happened to be assigned under Li Yanran’s command.
Ever since this Su Tianqi had seen her, he had persistently pursued her shamelessly.
Publicly reprimanded by Ye Xuan, Su Tianqi felt embarrassed but didn’t retort.
However, as Su Tianqi once again looked at Ye Xuan, there was a profound greed in his eyes.
As the son of a County Magistrate, he was accustomed to privilege, never being denied any woman he wanted.
Damn, this wench dared to humiliate him in public, one day she would regret it.
Fortunately, Chen Shi, who was following Ye Xuan, walked over at this time, breaking the awkward moment.
"Greetings, esteemed ones. I am the Chief Constable of Qingyun County’s government,
ordered by Lord County Magistrate to welcome you upon your arrival."
"Lord County Magistrate is already waiting for you at the county office, please follow me to the county office."
Chen Shi looked at the lead, Li Yanran, with respect, clasping his hands in salute, appearing somewhat reserved.
After all, the identity of the other party was too special, not only being a member of the most powerful Profound Bird Guard of the Great Xia but also a Yellow-level Profound Bird Guard.
Chen Shi had already been informed by Ye Xuan that the leader of their group, Li Yanran, was a martial arts expert in the Blood Refining Realm.
Blood Refining Realm!
That was a true martial arts master, even in a place with many experts like the regional prefecture, renown far and wide.
Li Yanran didn’t say much, reverting to her aloof demeanor, nodding in response to Chen Shi’s words.
Thus, under the escort of numerous officials, the Profound Bird Guard entourage magnificently left the town gate.
The departure of the officials transformed the previously solemn and serious town gate back into a bustling and crowded scene.
.......
"Xuan, how should we handle these two wretches, do you want me to take them back to the county office?"
Liang Cheng, looking at the two corpses on the ground, finally woke up from his shock, his face filled with anger. He walked over and vented his rage by stomping on one of the bodies.
He was truly angry.
Because the second-in-command before his death had revealed all the information.
Damn it, it was that same band of unruly mountain bandits from last time who dared to rob even a government official like him.
That time was forgivable, but now they had come boldly to his door, trying to target the Lu Family.
This was intolerable! How could a man endure such provocation?
For these two mountain bandits on the ground, Lu Xuan was indifferent: "No need, dragging these two corpses from the Lu Family will create a bad impression; I’ll have someone deal with it."
What truly concerned Lu Xuan was the dying words of that mountain bandit.
The master behind these two bandits seemed to be a martial artist in the Blood Refining Realm.
Blood Refining Realm?
Lu Xuan silently contemplated, coming to a decision.
Even though he wasn’t sure of the truth of the bandit’s words, Lu Xuan decided to go to the Junling Mountain Range.
He would not allow anyone to harbor malicious intents toward the Lu Family, even if there was the slightest possibility, Lu Xuan would never let it slide.
After venting his anger, Liang Cheng seemed to recall something and hurriedly ran to Lu Xuan’s side.
"Xuan, do you think what that bandit said about his master, a martial artist in the Blood Refining Realm, is true?"
"False!"
Lu Xuan replied to Liang Cheng’s question without hesitation.
This eased Liang Cheng’s nerves.
If there truly were a martial arts expert in the Blood Refining Realm, it would be disastrous.
Then, looking up at Lu Xuan with admiration, Liang Cheng said with emotion.
"By the way, Xuan, how high has your martial arts realm risen?"
Lu Xuan’s decisive action moments ago had happened in an instant.
The time was so brief that Liang Cheng hadn’t been able to see Lu Xuan’s movements clearly before the two mountain bandits were dead without causing a ripple.
Even slaughtering pigs would involve some struggle, let alone dealing with two men.
"Just a tiny bit higher than you!"
Lu Xuan raised his hand, pinching his fingers slightly in the air, leaving only a small gap.
