I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Lu Jiahe’s expression was extremely grave, and he let out a long sigh, his worry deepening: "Yun Qing and little Cheng, those two children. . . ."

"Alas, they. . . ."

Just as he was about to speak, it seemed as though something was choking Lu Jiahe.

In the end, it turned into a heavy and helpless sigh: "Those two children."

"Mad!"

"Brother!"

At this moment, Lu Yun’an stepped forward and added: "Fifty years ago, cousin Liang Cheng and brother Yun Qing both experienced sudden mutations one after another!"

Lu Yun’an’s Adam’s apple bobbed violently, with panic and confusion swirling in his eyes.

"Fifty years ago, on the day cousin Liang Cheng was in seclusion, striving for a higher realm. . . ." Lu Yun’an took a deep breath.

"The power within him suddenly went berserk, his eyes turned crimson, and he wantonly destroyed the headquarters of Tiandu Xuan Niao."

Lu Yun’an’s voice became increasingly clear: "Fortunately, half an hour later, His Majesty personally dispatched several old ancestors from the palace who had been in seclusion for years to suppress cousin Liang Cheng."

"To prevent unforeseen events, the royal ancestors had no choice but to imprison him deep in the forbidden grounds of the palace."

Here, Lu Yun’an inadvertently clenched his fists: "What’s even stranger is, it wasn’t just cousin Liang Cheng after that."

"Several similar incidents occurred one after another in Tiandu."

"So, ten years later, when brother Yun Qing was also breaking through the Martial Arts Realm. . . ."

Lu Yun’an’s voice choked, "He also experienced the exact same anomaly, as if possessed, falling into madness."

"In the end, brother Yun Qing was also taken away by those royal ancestors, imprisoned with cousin Liang Cheng."

The air in the courtyard seemed to solidify, and Lu Xuan remained silent, but his expression grew increasingly gloomy.

Lu Yun’an struggled to continue: "Afterwards, His Majesty secretly sent an envoy to the Lu Family. . . ."

"The envoy said, if this matter cannot be promptly informed to you, elder brother."

"I’m afraid. . . I’m afraid within a hundred years, cousin Liang Cheng and brother Yun Qing will. . . ."

"Perish and turn to ashes!"

Before the words were finished, the temperature in the entire courtyard suddenly dropped, and the tea cups on the stone table trembled in silence.

Lu Xuan slowly stood up, a black-gold light surging in his eyes, and his aura alone changed the color of the clouds within a hundred-mile radius.

"Going mad one after another?"

Lu Xuan slightly furrowed his brow, a flash of consideration quickly crossing his eyes, as if trying to sort through the unexpected information.

Mad?

And it happened fifty years ago?

This particular time point caused suspicions to arise in Lu Xuan’s heart.

He clearly remembered that, before going into seclusion a hundred and fifty years ago, he personally performed the cleansing process for several outstanding younger members of the Lu Family.

Among them were Lu Yunqing and Liang Cheng.

Considering their extraordinary talents at the time, combined with ample and abundant cultivation resources.

Reasonably speaking, after a hundred years of rigorous cultivation, they should have already broken through realms, perhaps even advanced to the Divine Mansion True Realm.

However, a strong Divine Mansion Realm expert would have long nurtured spiritual power.

Protected by such spiritual power, how could they go mad without reason?

Are you telling me that a Martial Artist of the Divine Mansion True Realm has gone mad?

Is that reasonable?

This is utterly absurd, completely contradicting Lu Xuan’s understanding of the cultivation world; there must be an unknown secret hidden within.

Thinking to this point, Lu Xuan’s gaze gradually turned cold, as if it had frosted over with a layer of ice.

This matter is unquestionably not simple; if not human-induced.

Then this world has undergone changes that he has not yet perceived.

No time to delay!

"Father, I will go to the palace at once."

Just as the words fell, Lu Xuan’s gaze was already on Lu Yun’an.

Only to see Lu Xuan lightly lift his right hand, and a wisp of black-gold flame leapt from his fingertip, slowly condensing into a three-inch small sword in the void.

Though the sword appeared diminutively small, it contained a frightening, heart-stopping power.

The flames running along the edge of the black-gold blade seemed as if they could ignite the void effortlessly.

"Yun’an."

Lu Xuan’s deep gaze, as profound as an abyss, pushed the small sword towards Lu Yun’an.

The sword rotated as it hovered in the void, "This sword seals my power, useable three times."

"With this sword in hand, it can protect the Lu Family from any powerful adversary."

As soon as Lu Yun’an accepted the small sword, it suddenly trembled, transforming into a stripe of black-gold light and sinking into his palm.

Simultaneously, a vast ocean-like power flowed through his meridians, making him instantly aware of the sword’s formidable capabilities.

"Brother, this. . . ."

Lu Yun’an looked up in shock, only to find that Lu Xuan’s figure had long disappeared from the courtyard.

All that remained was a wisp of undissipated golden spiritual light, and the faint presence of the remaining pressure in the air, attesting that everything that had just occurred was not an illusion.

In fact, from the moment Lu Xuan returned to Qingyun County, he sensed the various changes in the forces around.

In the region of White Dao Prefecture, an unexpectedly large and formidable force had quietly risen up at some point.

Within this large force were concealed the presence of four Divine Mansion True Realm energies.

However, solely focused on hurrying back to the Lu Family, Lu Xuan, though quite surprised, did not let it weigh on his mind, simply keeping it in mind silently.

Lu Xuan planned to head to the capital of White Dao Prefecture in a few days to investigate the origins of this mysterious power thoroughly.

After all, Lu Xuan would never tolerate the presence of any uncontrollable powerful force around the Lu Family that could threaten its safety.

However, plans seldom keep pace with changes; before Lu Xuan could act, the affairs of Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing completely disrupted his preparations.
